That’s super interesting, I haven’t read that book before, but it makes a ton of sense! I feel like Lucas can be particularly on the nose with this stuff, the plot of Willow is basically just Moses in the beginning

Two of the stories Hoid tells in Stormlight seem to match up well to a real-life myth or folklore. I am convinced that the others must have some sort of equivalent as well. (Spoilers for all of his stories) 1. The Girl Who Looked Up = Prometheus A person steals a light source for humanity who is stuck in the dark, resulting in severe punishment. 2. Fleet = John Henry A human challenges a non-human force to a contest and wins, but at the cost of death. 3. The Wandersail = ? I feel like the general story should be a pretty common idea. Episode 8 of Season 1 of Star Trek TNG is a bit similar. (Episode Spoilers) 4. The Cleverest of the Three Moons = ? This one really feels like there could be a similar ancient myth. 5. The Dog and the Dragon I’m not 100% sure this one has an equivalent, although this is a guess that is based purely off of vibes. Anyone have any ideas?

A while ago, I wrote a fleshed out version of The Girl Who Looked Up that turned it into a complete story. I've finally managed to work up the motivation to do the same for The Wandersail. It was a fair bit harder, and I'm quite proud of it! (Spoilered for length)

I’ve met people who know of me, if that counts. TPBM prefers frosting over cake.

Oh the nostalgia!

Granted. You are constantly having to cure yourself because you are constantly getting all of the diseases. I wish for onions to not make me cry.
