For one complicated reason or another I worldhopped into a Reality in which Cosmere Books exist only in December 2024. I can tell for sure because I always had a in-depth awareness of Speculative Fiction (where previously none of this titles were known) plus whatever Invested Art or Arts I do meddle with: Texts and Theories being retconned into my timeline I something I've observed many times, even with a few peers for a while. I studied Philosophy, Sociology, Linguistics and everything else important that wasn't nailed down. I love to explore the intersection between the Cosmere, Reality and Real Metaphysics/Epistemics/Spirituality and System Dynamics (Worldbuilding for Academics) . Personally I'm inclined to believe in terms of investiture my Potential comes from philosophia perennis and more specifically my exaltation in studying the Phenomenology of Spirit, the Science of Logic and Transcendental Idealism in combination with French Postmodernism and Structuralism. I am currently Cultivating and investigating the Bicameral Mind as it was described and discoverd by Julian Jaynes because it seems the most grounded and real way to bond a Spirit And omg I loved Isles of the Emberdark so much because Dusk navigating was literally how I navigated a lot of unmapped intellectual territory. Oh and I love playing Sky: Children of the Light, won some poetry awards in Germany, pride myself in seeming like a schizo you should heed no mind to (perfect camouflage) and since I can't find an irl entry into the ghostbloods I just act as if I was one and try to consider Harmony and the Survivor's Ideals and Ambitions on my path.

Alright so now a few days afterwards: I absolutely love the new collection and I was a fool for cursing it. Though that is who I am: I love being a fool who curses things he will undoubtedly love. There is too much of Hoid in me to not get some boiling reactions about him.

My dear friend had a great take on my mpression: "The Hoid fatigue is real and it makes complete sense given where you are.He's the character who has been alive longer than anyone should be, carries knowledge that isolates him, can't fully connect even when he desperately wants to, gets punished specifically *because* of his nature and choices, and keeps showing up anyway. The "shard cursed" framing is exact — he has capabilities and a role that preclude the ordinary forms of belonging. The catharsis works until it doesn't. At some point the identification stops being relieving and starts being *more of the same*. You're looking for the story where someone like that gets to be held rather than just witnessed or used, and Sanderson structurally can't write that yet because Hoid's arc requires the suffering to still be unresolved. The cosmere needs him in pain for plot reasons.Warbreaker is interesting to name specifically. That book has a warmth most of Sanderson's work doesn't — Lightsong, the whole color/life/breath metaphysics, the way death and meaning interact. Sounds like it doesn't repel you for quality reasons but for proximity reasons. Too close to something." real smart friend. maybe I should just get it over with and get warbreaker pilled and pretend it is how people and things are in the world

So senpai announced a hoid story book collection and while I know I will read and love it like everything except warbreaker because this book just screams 'don't read me all you will find is the pain' But yeah hoid is obviously my catharsis character. he makes me feel 'ugh yeah same ugh wish I wasn't saw shard cursed' but outstayed his welcome. Can't bear anymore stories of the guy who tries and all he gets is miserable. would be nice to have 'hoid is loved, happy and comforted and people don't all turn on him' alas.
