Oh thanks, I had no idea! So how do you reply to multiple people in one post? Is there a way to tag people? And thanks! Looking forward to geeking out with you as well

Thanks for this! I wonder if there are nonbinary kandra, or if any Cosmere characters have been confirmed to be nonbinary.

Thank you!

Thanks! Nice to meet you!

Thanks! I'm excited to be here! I like your username. Also a KC fan

Thanks! Happy to be here! Still new so I don't entirely understand how you got that little signature thing, but I like it! Are you a Hitchhikers Guide fan?

As a trans NB Cosmere fan, I'm constantly fascinated by the exploration of gender in the Stormlight Archive. At one point Shallan mentions that despite the fact that she uses he/him pronouns for Pattern, she doesn't think he has a gender. Are all spren canonically nonbinary?

At the end of the Bands of Mourning, Marasi mentions that she doesn't truly feel the desire to be in a romantic relationship. She only thought she did because of societal pressure, and because of her fascination with Wax. Is Marasi canonically aromantic? Has this been confirmed?

This is something that has been eating at me forever. Kandra definitely seem to have gender, and as far as I'm aware we've only seen kandra with binary gender, but that gender seems totally unrelated to sex. After all, when MeLaan used a man's bones, she still used she/her pronouns, which seems to imply to me that kandra definitely see gender as a social construct as opposed to a physical reality. Which is great! Kandra say trans rights! But how do they get that gender? Is is assigned at birth, but via method unrelated to reproductive organs? Do they discover it over time? Are there nonbinary kandra? Has the nature of kandra gender been addressed anywhere but I missed it? Thanks!

Hi everyone! My name is Alex, I use they/them pronouns, and I'm a sci-fi/fantasy writer (If you happen to be involved in the indie podcast community, you might know the sci-fi show I write, The Stench of Adventure.) Brandon Sanderson's work has been a huge inspiration to me for a long time. I first read Mistborn a few years ago and totally hyperfixated on it, and now I'm on to the Stormlight Archives. I kept coming up with really specific world questions that I didn't expect to have answers in the books (at least, not yet) which brought me here. I'm really excited to join a community that will geek out about this books with me. If you're interested in communicating on another social media platform, I'm @alexyquest on Twitter, Tiktok, and Tumblr. I love making new friends, especially in niche internet communities, so feel free to reach out or just drop a reply telling me a bit about yourself. Happy to be here, Alex
