Scenes you've reread a thousand times by now but still make you laugh, cry or both lol

[Vielence She/Her]

My fav is in WoR when Dalinar comes floating down like one of the heralds from the tranquiline halls, and then Kaladin comes down like a fireball and gives Szeth a heart attack.

The sky and the winds are mine. I claim them.

Another fav is with Adolin in WaT when he's fighting in the aluminum encased room without his Shardblade and then 'clang!' he catches the blade with an ornate, aluminum candelabra. 

 

Oh and in The Way of Kings, when the chasmfiend hunt goes awry and Elhokar is about to get crushed, and Dalinar STORMING CATCHES the freaking claw. 

Adolins reaction was priceless. He's lucky Shallan wasn't there yet 

("No apologize! Boots!")

And that's foreshadowing for his lastcatch, when he stops a storming Shardblade.

At Worldcon in San Jose, I got Brandon to pose doing a lastcatch with someone cosplaying a Shardbearer.

Its a Lastclap.

Foreshadowing, yes, but also I think it was just Dalinar lol. (He storming caught a shardblade and a chasmfiend!   -I mean Kal did it to, but...)

Correct. Sorry.

My favorite scenes in Rythm of War are when they discover warlight, and when they discover Anti-light. They just feel so... interesting to me. I really like both the implications but also the process and the journey to get there.

just reread the books (AGAIN) so i have a refresh...

In WaT, when Kaladin fights Nale and he's like "What are you? A god?" and Kal is like "No. I'm his therapist." Then Nale says "What is that?" and Kaladin shrugs and and goes ". . . I honestly have no idea"

 

I love when Wit/Hoid does little references to 'earth' and no one knows what they are  the best kind of inside joke.

Hoid never actually breaks the 4th wall, just references things across the Cosmere, but still, agreed.

My favorite Hoid quote, depending on what mood I'm in, is "I was once words on a page" (or something close to that). Brandon has said that this isn't fourth wall breaking, but it's certainly Brandon pointing to the fourth wall (even though he denies it).
