Aon Ese: Abundance,Harvest Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 So I was just thinking recently... if there are rainspren, anticipationspren, hungerspren--basically, spren for any strong feeling/sensation/natural occurrence, why aren't there awkwardspren? I can think of so many scenarios where awkwardspren could have made an appearance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Their portfolio might be covered by the shock and irritation spren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aon Ese: Abundance,Harvest Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hmm maybe...but awkwardness is so distinctive, you know? It's almost a 'passive' thing, unlike shock or irritation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruti Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) the akward spren were part of the KR, but most of them died in the recriance...don't worry, we're coming back! Edited May 13, 2019 by Ruti typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteEmporer Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Shamespren appear on Roshar. Awkwardness could be close enough to attract a few of those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RShara Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Awkwardness seems like it's more a combination of emotions rather than an emotion on it's own. It seems like embarrassment is a large chunk of awkwardness, so I think @WhiteEmporer's idea hits the nail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yeah. Embarrassment, confusion, hesitance. I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 True. Remember Kaladin's lessons? Spren appear when things change. Can you remember things becoming awkward? Initially that probably manifested as either shame fear or embarrassment which are all things that happen whereas awkwardness just exists and is something to avoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wanderer Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 yeah, awkwardness could be used to describe a lot of scenarios: walking in on something you shouldn't, an uncomfortable silence, even just describing something that is a little out of the ordinary. Spren are shown to only be attracted to specific emotions or events, which awkwardness does not cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
