[OB] Info From Peter

[marsoupial they/them]

So, folks. Yesterday, on the 17S Discord server, our dear friend @PeterAhlstrom was on giving us small answers to our various, occasionally Oathbringer-related questions, and I received some interesting information I figured I'd share with y'all. Now, remember: Peter lies. So take this with a grain of salt.

Re: Drehy's impending love interest:

Spoiler

(If the boyfriend is in Bridge Four, then it's probably Eth)

I asked if Shallan would develop an alcoholism issue, and Peter gave us this:

Spoiler

(This is open to interpretation, as Stormlight may be physically addictive)

 

BONUS: Along with deciding what kinds of music the Stormlight characters like (Jasnah's into rap), Peter gave his commentary on Pringles

Spoiler

 

(He's not wrong)

But can he see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

(Sorry. No really I am. I just couldn't resist after the Pringles.)

[Blacksmithki]

The reply about addiction could be about the Blackthorn and the thrill. (Also alcohol for him to)

Or about shallan and risk-taking. she shares some similarities to an adrenaline junkie.

it probably refers to both.

That was a deep cut and made me laugh out loud. Nice one

Nope Pringles are amazing and make me happy. Obviously one of the things he was lying about.

This is the objectively correct answer.

This is probably one the next-level-truths for Shallan ... "Pringles are amazing and make me happy" => *insta-shardplate*

more foolishness

[Morsk he/him]

Why does anyone want Shallan to become an alcoholic? Is this something I missed, when I wasn't reading threads for the earlier chapters?

It's more about what we expect then what we want (though some people want to see it as they consider it a interesting plot point and arc)

Questioner

Do they have a concept of alcoholism in Roshar?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes.

Questioner

Does Dalinar’s family have it?

Brandon Sanderson

That will be answered in the next book, but you should definitely be asking that question.

There was also the 9 comes before 10 answer, implying that the 9 unmade will become 10 unmade.

Wait, what?! Context, please! Exact quote! Maybe I need to get on Discord... This is definitely in favor of the "one Unmade for each broken Herald" argument if it is as it seems.

I mean, it could be a non answer, but I didn't explain the theory, so maybe it does mean something. Its certainly not a refutation of the theory.

[dendrophobe he/him]

Yeah, that's either a nonanswer or a very vague hint. Gah, that's almost worse than his not even saying anything! 

[Rasha]

It could be interpreted as such: the 9 Unmade are all active on Roshar just before a Desolation, before the 10 Heralds return. That is what happened on Roshar this time: the Thrill and Death Rattles were all active way before the Desolation started, and way before Taln returned from Damnation. If we haven't seen the other Unmades, it may be because like Re-Shephir, they are hidden or biding their time before accomplishing their purpose.

What I want to know is:

How many licks does it take to get the the center if a Rosharan tootsie-pop.

I think its a question with vital importance to the Cosmere.

Who can deny The Chip Ruler's power. It is a sliver of potatoey perfection. That is the non human shard! Pringles is Adonalsium's shard of awesomeness!!

[Toaster Retribution he/him]

@The Invested Beard Thank you for spreading the awesomeness of Pringles and defending them from Peters lies.

You guys are missing the bigger picture and not putting two and two together. 

 

 

Pringles confirmed as the name of the 10th Unmade.

So take what he said with a grain of salt. Literally. The salt is part of what makes them delicious
