lets roll up with mama
The thing is I think the cross doesn’t take away suffering exactly. It gives it meaning. It makes it a story. So now when we have our sufferings that would otherwise be banal and pitiful and small and ugly, they get taken up into the story that goes “just like the time a God came down and died and saved the world”. And maybe that makes them a little beautiful.
Ominous collection for your viewing pleasure.

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