PreciousNoodle Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I watched a show last night about hummingbirds, and the thought came to me--that is very Windrunner-y. I mean flying upside-down and backwards, and they can survive around 40,000 feet above sea-level and still get enough oxygen to survive. And they need to refuel all the time! Tell me that doesn't sound like a Windrunner! 4
I Am A Fish he/him Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Seems legit to me. I mean look at Kaladin: Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Everything about him just screams "HUMMINGBIRD!" 33 minutes ago, PreciousNoodle said: I watched a show last night about hummingbirds, and the thought came to me--that is very Windrunner-y.

Honestly, my first thoughts were more on the lines of Lopen specifically, because I have a hard time imagining Teft flying upside-down, backwards, or being a bird in general. Cool idea though.
AonDoor he/him Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Definitely Windrunners. The question is: What form of investiture do they use?
Ishar Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Light, not detailed, OB Spoilers (really not much of a spoiler at all, and nothing to do with overall plot, but I am putting it in a spoiler tag anyway) Spoiler Alternatively, they could be shanay-im (for anybody who, like me, would have to look up what those are, they are the Fused who have the surge of Gravitation). The fused are supposed to be much more elegant/in control of their surges than the Radiants, which seems to be much closer to what we see in Hummingbirds. Clearly hummingbirds are voidbringer fused. 2

Be wary of hummingbirds.

Crackpot theory incoming: Nectar is actually a form of Investiture, containing the raw power of Earth’s Shard. (WoB canon is secondary!) Birds and bees use it to fly around! IT ALL FITS! 1
