I don't think its big because it drains people's energy. Because that would mean it should still be growing, and if it were bigger, wouldn't its arms be in different spots to make up for it? Then they wouldn't be on the pedestals anymore. Also, he's called the "Protector", and I don't think draining people energy sounds very protective. What if something completely separate is draining them, and Cusicesh is protecting them from being drained any more? Maybe the Origin is draining them somehow? Another idea, if he wards off the hightstorms, and if he is draining people, maybe people didn't originally gather just to watch him, but to give him their energy? And they simply forgot the purpose of the gathering over a long time? Maybe Cusicesh comes at the same time because the people used to come at that time?

As did I, and it only took two days! Glad to see the community is quick about showing you your own inferiority!

Just made my account yesterday after I googled Hoid on a hunch while reading WoK. I knew the books were supposed to be in the same universe, but I didn't know the stories were already linked! Awesome! I've read all the cosmere books, but the only person I know who read them is my dad, and he forgot everything! Glad to have people to talk to about them! (I bought the "Horneater Stew" shirt on Inkwing and wear it to school twice a week, but nobody has any idea what it means, but I keep wearing it anyway.) Anyway, hope to make some posts and have all my crappy theories be mercilessly crushed!

Is this why people can't see certain spren? If one person's "cognnitive ideal or concept" of the poo is that it is disgusting and smelly then would the spren he sees would be more akin to stink lines, while his Coprophagic dog, who quite fancies a good poo, would see different spren that look like gumdrops, lollipops, and other assorted candies? No, wait, that would be ridiculous... candy is people food! Perhaps sheep then? (and on a more serious note, what does this mean about people like Rock who can see all spren? Wouldn't he have to have the same ideals as Kaladin? Maybe there is another type of magic we don't know about yet, that allows him to read peoples minds, or maybe I read something wrong and don't actually know what I'm talking about, and should have stuck with the poo eating dog?)
