So I just finished Oathbringer, and at the very very end, I noticed that the parshwomen hoid gives the child to's husband's name is cob.
Wait where did it say that?

Ok thanks for telling me.

I've been reading a lot about Odiums ability to spinter other shards and it got me thinking, what if some pieces of Adonalsium are bigger than others. Like it might have had the same amount of Ruin and Preservation, that's why there so well matched. But it also might have more hate/ passion then say Ambition and that's why Odium can splinter them so easily. Because he has more power.
Tell me what you guys think, or if there's some WOB that smashes this theory then also please tell.

Ok then. I stand corrected.

Ya but you meet Ka. You never meet the guy Drehy is with. I don't think you even learn his name.

Do you have a problem with heterosexual romances that exist for the sake of romance without adding anything else to the story?
No I don't but it doesn't even have a romance.

But there doesn't need to be an obvious reason. Just as some characters are short and some are tall, some of the characters are gay and some are not. There doesn't have to be a purpose in mind for every aspect of a character when they're created. But having character differences like Drehy being gay gives us another look into the world and making it more immersive or relatable to things we see around us. It gives us a chance to see how it is treated in-world and how it impacts the characters we read about. Are things like this generally accepted, generally rejected, known about but mostly ignored, or handled in some other way? Do the characters we know treat it any differently then how the rest of the world generally does?
As for my least favorite character, I would have to say that KanPaar ranks up there. He treats TenSoon so poorly after he turned himself in and then commits worse crimes soon after even though the most knowledgeable group within their culture has agreed that the end of the world has come. He's mostly just a power-hungry coward.
I have no problem with gay people or characters but I do have a problem when it doesn't add to the story at all.

My very least favorite character is Ruin. He has no depth other then, well, ruining things. Next is Drehy. Now I’m not against gay people or gay characters, but there’s no reason to make him gay. Nothing even happens with it. There just like: “he’s gay”. And that’s all that really happens.

Mmmm no, because they give Moash/Vyre Jezrien's Honorblade right after that. And I don't think they can change shape THAT much. From a silvery sword to a small gold dagger is a significant change.
Oh yea I forgot. Well that shoots down my theory.

Unknown, but I think it's likely they can change a little bit. Dead Shardblades can change a little, live ones can change a lot. So it wouldn't surprise me if Honorblades could change somewhat as well.
In that case I think it's likely that it was Jezarin's honorblade. It's seems a little poetic that a herald killed by their own honorblade would do something else then just kill them and send them to braize. Maybe this was a counter to the oathpact so they could just die if they wanted to. But then again he sounds surprised when he dies like he didn't know about it. It also opens up the question, why would they leave their honor blades behind if they were the only way to truly kill them?

Sorry, what?
Taravangian stole Jezrien's Honorblade from Bridge 4 and gave it to Odium who gave it to Moash/Vyre after he killed Jezrien. Jezrien was killed with a dagger, not a sword.
Can't honorblades change size and shape or is that just alive spren swords?

Ok everybody’s got to stop with the shalladin stuff. She married Adolin. Get over it. I actually really think their a good match. And Adolin keeps getting shafted left and right. I mean think about it, his dad, brother, wife, cousin and
bodyguards are all radiants/ squires. He probably feels pretty left out. I mean Kaladin or shallan could have made him a squire. Or even Dallinar (can bondsmiths even have squires?) or renarin or even storming Jasnah for crying out loud. But no. Nobody even thinks about it. I’m glad Adolin got anything in OB.

I'm not sure how much of a spoiler this is, but better safe than sorry.
SpoilerIn Oathbringer when Shallan is talking to Hoid he says: "Some men, as they age, grow wiser. I am not one of those, for Wisdom and I have always been at cross-purposes, and I have yet to learn the tongue in which she speaks."
Notice that the word Wisdom is capitalized, and Sanderson give it a gender pronoun, she.
I would love to hear what you guys think about this because I think it might be plausible.

[OB] Jasnah's "lunacy"
in Stormlight Archive
Posted
So as I was re-reading oathbringer I noticed some weird stuff about Jasnah.
In I think Jasnah's first PoV, we hear some weird stuff about her as a child.
And then a little later in a Dalinar flashback:
From this I'm thinking that while Jasnah was still young (maybe 3-4 because Navini said somewhere that when she was really young she was already super smart--also remember that a year there is around 500 days so a 4 year old there would be roughly 6 here) she bonded Ivory, probably only saying the first ideal. Gavilar noticed and that's what got him started with the whole 'bringing back honor and radiants' stuff. Someone else noticed, maybe Navini and thought she was crazy, so she put her in the asylum. But I'm a little confused why nobody would remember it. Seems like something people would remember.
Tell me what you guys think about it. And yes I know that this will probably all be answered in Jasnah's book, but that's still like 8 years off.
