stick is a stick Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I thought Shallan might have a crush on Jasnah when I was reading the books. Now it's WoB confirmed! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If.you.die.I.go.stupid Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Interesting. I saw it more as a mix of envy and hero worship but it makes sense. It was Jasnah's sexuality that stood out to me. I can't decide if she prefers women or if she has had some awful experience with a man in her past or maybe both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the same with me, but looking back on it, Shallan's sexuality does make sense. With Jasnah, personally I'm going for a combination of her inner feminist and aro/ace (probably a good portion of that is me wanting more a-spec character representation in books, but I think it is a viable option) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theravenchilde Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 but the important thing here and also the topic of this thread is that Shallan is a canon bisexual so lets celebrate that, eh? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geralt Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 How awesome would it be if after all the ships and love triangles surrounding Shallan, Adolin and Kaladin that there have been, Shallan ended up with a totally unrelated female character? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't this week bi visibility week? I think so, and if so... This is great timing. So, bisexual!Shallan. Great! More representation is always cool, especially since bisexuality is particlarly unrepresented in media. So... Yeah. This is cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand Master Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I don't know. I don't have anything against same-sex relationships or anything, but Jasnah/Shallan feels like it would be pretty forced to me. Jasnah is practically old enough to be Shallan's mother. That's a bit weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit weird. emember Lirin and Rosanne? Maybe they are an exception, but I get the impression it's not that uncommon. Shallan's father wanted to marry his second son to a middle aged woman for connections. Most powerful lighteyes marry for connections. Marrying for love may be odder than the age gap. That said, I think Shallan ending with any woman is unlikely. It would be cool, but Brandon said her crush on Jasnah was something he did unconsciously. We've already seen her flashback book, and Brandon's already written the final chapter of the series. I suspect Shallan's story is already nailed down, and if the bisexuality is an unconscious inclusion, then I bet it will remain subtext. Maybe he can confirm it openly in the text, which would be awesome, but I bet her relationships are important to the overall story and aren't likely to change from his current plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, you could spend that time trying to figure out where he hid it. According to WoB, the last chapter is hidden somewhere in the first two books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean that one of the chapters in the first two books is the same as the final chapter? Or that through some secret code, the final chapter is hidden in the words of the first two books? Or that someone in the first two books speculates on the future of Roshar and somehow gets it right? I CAN'T HANDLE THIS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something similar to that in The Way of Kings? A: There are but they are hidden in different places. The last chapter of the stormlight archive is somewhere in these two books. Sounds like it's hidden piece by piece. No clue though. Haven't had time to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
