Shakadolin

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

I've heard a lot of discourse over which of these is actually going to end up being a thing, but never how much each one is shipped. What is your favorite pair?

Wow. Shadolin is winning by a landslide, followed by Kadolin and last but not least Shaladin. 

Edit: Shadolin is still winning but Shaladin has pulled ahead of Kadolin. 

Edit II: Adding more questions.

Edit III: Kadolin and Shadolin are equally likely to become canon? oooookayyyy

Adolin Kaladin you say? O.o

 

Personally I'm holding out hope for Kaladin/Syl. 

[CrazyRioter she/her]

I prefer Shallan/Adolin, but Kaladin/Adolin is great fanfic fodder.

[Use the Falchion]

Shallan/Adolin, Kaladin/Jasnah, Renarin/Lift (Post-timeskip), Taln/Shalash

Kaladin/Jasnah

You are aware of the age difference?

[CrazyRioter she/her]

I dislike the Kaladin/Jasnah ship immensely because they just don't have anything in common, they've interacted once on screen, and it feels like people are just pairing them off because they are unpaired major characters.

Also I headcanon Jasnah as ace-spec and aro-spec but that's just my personal headcanon.

Honestly Kaladin/Adolin and Kaladin/Renarin are the only common ships for Kaladin that don't annoy me. And I don't even headcanon Kaladin as gay or bi. I just dislike every common m/f pairing for him for various reasons.

(I do headcanon Adolin as bi and having a one-sided attraction to Kaladin because honestly his thoughts about Kaladin in OB just read very strongly of that to me butagain just my headcanon).

While we're talking about Jasnah, let me say that Jazeth is the best. At least as long as Jasnah gets over the fact he killed her father. Come on, ship the control freaks!

As for Shaladin VS Shadolin (though I think its funnier to say Kalan then Shaladin) Here is what I said on another Ship thread: 

Ok, so here is my theory for the "Who does Shallan storming like" debate. To me it seems like shallan is doing something to her spiritweb when she creates personas. My theory is that she will end up fracturing her spirit web, and split into three distinct physical entities. Radiant and Veil will actually just be condensed investure, but Shallan will have no control over them. So, while Shallan is happily married with Adolin, Veil will start hitting on Kaladin. Quite frankly, I feel like as soon as this happens, Radiant will immediately run off, form her own Nahel bond (possibly as a dustbringer) and kill odium. This is just my two clips, but I stand by the spiritweb fracture theory.

So long as they're okay with it and it doesn't play into any power angles or anything like that, why should we care? It's not like there aren't couples with age differences like that in the real world.

I see them as having many potential areas in common or at least areas of respect, but they only have had one conversation and I'd like to see more. 

Renarin and Kaladin…? You're gonna have to explain that to me one day because I can't see it at all.

Also, quick question. When you say ace-spec, does that mean both Ace and on the Autism Spectrum? Because I asked about Jasnah being intentionally Autistic at the Skyward signing last year (the Houston one, but I couldn't record it because I got my picture taken with the phone that had the audio recording. I'll ask again next time he does an AMA.) and she's not.

But I've stated my reasons as to why I like them on other threads about them so I don't want to drag it too off-topic.

No, I mean on the asexual spectrum (ace, grey-ace, or demisexual).

[Winds Alight she/her]

I go with Kaladin/Adolin. They have the best dynamic. But I'd also take Shakadolin

Ah, gotcha. I didn't know there was a spectrum. Thanks for the info!

Saying shakadolin out loud reminded me of this scene from Ace Ventura:

I don´t think the age would be a problem, as you said, it´s common this days in the real world.

Although I don´t ship Kaladin and Jasnah I think they have quite a few things in common. Like they´re both perfectionists in their own ways and I did like the scene where they first met, although it was very short.
But I thought for quite a while now, if Jasnah really is into man? She never showed any interesst this way, maybe she is more into women? Who knows...

But back to topic:
Definitely Shadolin. I really like Adolin and I like Shallan much more when she is with him.
Kaladin should look for someone else, but I think he is not ready for a relationship.

[The Wanderer]

I agree, Kaladin has effectively decided at the end of Oathbringer that he will not think about Shallan, or possibly any woman in a romantic way until he gets himself under control in terms of his depression

[SwordNimiForPresident the sword/that sword]

I chose option four. They all die as punishment for derailing every thread ever.
