    @Alderant, I agree with much of what you said, but there is one point of contention for me. When you say that they can’t talk out their problems, I disagree... partially. Once Shallan opens up her can of worms, there is no doubt that she will pull the “master/yes-ma’am” relationship card to make her stay with him, as if to say, “You love me. You need to accept me.” From this point forward, we don’t know what will happen, which is what I meant by partially agreeing. Can they talk it out? Yes. Will it be effective? Perhaps so, perhaps not, and perhaps it will be countereffective, leading to a breakup. Just my take on the situation.

    In my opinion, if the love triangle is currently resolved, it wasn't very well done to begin with. It spanned one-and-a-half books, and that wasn't long enough to make a lot of contention. The twist with Shallan's multiple personalities was interesting, but it was resolved too quickly. If Sanderson really wants the love triangle to pull through, nothing can be resolved at the characters' current state. If Shallan, Kaladin, and Adolin all have a discussion about this and resolve everything there, that would be okay. But, the resolution at the end of Oathbringer was too open ended –– not because of the words exchanged, which made everything seem very final, but because of Shallan's personality issues. She had internal conversations with Veil and Radiant right up to her passionate "if-he-can't-fly" speech! With a conflict so serious that it boils down to her nature as a lightweaver and as a person, I don't believe that it can be resolved in a few passionate words of "I love you" and "he means nothing to me; that was all Veil". Honestly, I think romance is just something that needs to be improved across the board. I do pay a lot of attention to relationships –– yes, because they're cute and I'm a fangirl, but also because love is one of the strongest emotions a person or character can feel, and how someone handles it says a lot about them. Sanderson has been so consistent with the "arranged-marriages-always-work-out" card (Raoden + Sarene, Shallan + Adolin, Wax + Steris, etc.), and I'm really looking for an arranged relationship that doesn't work to add some variety into the mix. With Shadolin, yes, I think the relationship could work, which frustrates me. I ship it due to their interactions, but it almost annoys me to do so because it's keeping up with the string of arranged marriages. I kind of wanted Shalladin to work out –– I don't ship it, but it would have made for an interesting story. I still love Stormlight and the other Cosmere books, but romance is something that I think could be worked on.

    Given the WoB, I think the following will happen... Shadolin will have a talk about emotions, current situations and mental states, which will fully resolve any and all issues. Kaladin will find a new, better love interest who helps him to become happier. Thinking that it will happen... hoping that it will happen... what's the difference?

    @ILuvHats, the rules will be different. You'll see... The winner of that battle is... @Felt, with Cultivation! Excellent job to both Felt and @Silva –– that was a great round. For our final round of the primaries... @Nohadon, with Wayne! @hoiditthroughthegrapevine, with Steris! @I think I am here., with Silence! @Paranoid King, with Hrathen! Good luck, everyone!

    Thanks for tagging me, Ish. I do believe that they were siblings, possibly even twins. When we look at the Vessels who broke the "no-mulitple-Shards-on-a-planet" rule, we find the following: Cultivation and Honor –– lovers Ati and Leras –– best friends Aona and Skai –– ??? I think that a sibling dynamic is highly likely, if only because we haven't seen it yet.

    Hi everyone! 

    I’m not going to be on the Shard for the next three days — just wanted to say something in case someone started freaking out about the roast battles. :P

    I've decided to start the tournament off with 15 people – don't worry, everything will work out the same as it usually does. In fact, in this case, this works out really well... To kick off Tournament 3, our first three competitors are the Hemalurgic Trio... @Herowannabe, with Human the Koloss! @Inklingspren, with TenSoon! @Sorana, with Marsh! LET TOURNAMENT 3 OF THE ROAST BATTLES... BEGIN!
  16. Ashspren

    WE NEED ONE MORE ROAST BATTLE PARTICIPANT! 

    If you are not currently participating in Tournament 3, please consider joining! (You don’t even have to write a rap, just sign up as a character and you can quit soon after.)

    Hey, look at me! I’m famous! You Know You’re A Sanderfan When someone introduces you to Sanderson, but you devote more of your time to the fandom.

    ATTENTION EVERYONE: 

    We need 2 to 3 more people for the Cosmere Character Roast Battle! I am going to close entry to the tournament in 24 hours, and just use the number of people that we currently have. If you would like to join, please sign up on the thread, or PM me. 

    Thanks,

      You might have to fill in a slot. That would be neat.

      Come, @Caesura, if you dare.

      I might do one eventually, but because I'm running it, (a) I don't think it would be seen as fair, and (b) running and participating in the tournament would take a lot of time...
