Thoughts on Stick?


Lotus

Recommended Posts

So, what are people's thoughts on Stick, (The one Shallan tries to turn into fire but fails)

In stick's copper mind page there is quite a lot of theorization about how he might actually be a world hopper... Probably not true, but fun to think about, right? So does anyone have any theory's or ideas about Stick?

Outside the cosmere: The phrase "carrot and stick" is a metaphor for the use of a combination of reward and punishment to induce a desired behaviour. -Wiki

 

Inside the cosmere: The phrase "Stick and The Stick" is a metaphor for the use of a combination of reward and/or divine blessing from a godlike being to induce a desired behaviour. -Church of The Stick

Slightly less tongue in cheek...

 

Stick is an In-World introduction to the Cognitive Realm and an example of how Self-Perception isn’t strictly limited to Fauna.

When an ‘insert and item here’ has been identified or has identified itself as a certain Self for a sufficient amount of time, that Identity is far deeper than the superficial and not easily superceded.

At this point, I wish someone would find that stick, douse it in oil and set it on fire

I am a stick.  I shall not burn.  Holy are these words. Burn not shall I.  Stick am I.

It can't be changed into fire, but burning is a different thing. It would still be a Stick... just a maybe crumbled-to-ashes-beyond-the-point-of-recognition Stick. 

Of course, its cognitive aspect can never degrade. Whether its physical manifestation is burned or not, the mind behind it will always remain true to its Identity. It is a stick.

Stick has its own Coppermind page?

...Oh, why am I even surprised? Of course stick has its own coppermind page...

Edit: ...Which I've actually read just now. What am I doing with my life?
