Cute As Hell. Now I Wanna Draw Me Some Pastry Predators, Even Though Whale Sharks Are Filter Feeders.

this is the big relate I have with kaladin, the difference being if I was in his physical health I'd definitely be at least a little less depressed

so. Kaladin. my dude is a bit self-obsessed.

which is not necessarily a bad thing! (admittedly his particular brand of not even acknowledging it grinds my gears a bit in a bad way but he is far from the only stormlight character who thinks they are the center of the world lol. I'd go so far as to say that *not* thinking you are the special little main character of the cosmere is more of an exception than the opposite lol)

but I actually do really appreciate this aspect of his character specifically because like. it's true. mentally ill people do tend to be more self-absorbed. (and kal has canon depression. shocking. I know.). we *do* tend to not realize how we come across or affect others due to being too focused on our own personal black cloud. we *do* tend to sometimes purposefully choose to stay miserable because it's just more comfortable. we *do* tend to kinda ignore the troubles from the people around us and put everything in relation to our own feelings (because *I'm* feeling like shit so *I've* earned it). and sometimes we don't even really realize it.

and to have Kaladin also do all that explicitly in the text (which i feel is an aspect that isn't touched upon that often in media in general?) and still be bound to the *honor* spren. I don't know. I find that really cool tbh.

(and also to hc shallan as having covert npd in wok only for her spren to be all about truth and lies and illusions in the following book,,,,,, sorry i know this is a kaladin post but i can't just not talk abt my beloved)

ha ha ha ha ha. you go Imane, take these sadsacks to task.
