Steris in Alloy of Law was just a terrible and uptight parody of a person. Then, Shadows of Self came along and she was rewritten as a beautiful autistic icon. Watching Brandon grow as a person and a writer is one of the coolest things about the Cosmere.
(Update: I have been informed that I probably misunderstood the writing in the first book. Fair enough.)
Brandon Sanderson coming to the correct conclusion that Mistborn had too many male characters in it, and fixing his error by giving us Shallan, Siri, Vivenna, Steris, Marasi, Jasnah, Venli, Navani, Tress, Yumi, Akane, Eshonai, Sylphrena, Lift, Cord, Rysn, accidentally writing Navaniel, and correctly having MeLaan dump Wayne and Jasnah dump Hoid.
Now put more husbands in the fridge besides Gavilar and all will be right in the Cosmere.
Thank you for the advice, I removed all of the mirrors from my car and it's so much more efficient now.
Happy stabby day!

As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.
In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.
I'm convinced that if Kelsier had a spike, all Ruin would need to whisper to him is, "do it for the vine," and he would do literally anything.

I admire all kinds of nonsense, balderdash, hogwash, and above all, malarkey.
