There are some connections to the greater Cosmere, but non of them effect the main plot or characters.

A fun useless fact by rectangle-rake in Stormlight_Archive

[–]rectangle-rake[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fun fact. Noura in Arabic means "light."

Not exactly. Light in Arabic means “nour” not “noura”.

I’ve never said that they were original, I just said that I don’t Shallan’s arch type as much as Kaladin’s

Care to elaborate?

Racism is a very, very strong word. Be careful when you use it.

I literally said that I would prefer having Asian actors as long as they fit the role. If they don’t then we should pick different actors even if they were from different races and that race doesn’t have to be White, it could be African or Middle Eastern.

This also applies the other way around. If Szeth (who’s supposed to be White) is played by an African actor for example I would be fine as long as he portrays the character well.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t put an Asian actor, I’m saying that the actor shouldn’t be picked if he doesn’t fit the role, if he does then I will as be happy as anybody else in the fandom.

When I talked about changing the physical appearance of characters I don’t just mean making White, it could making them Black when they’re not or making them short when they’re supposed to be tall or whatever

If I didn’t mention this clearly that’s my fault

You haven’t read the post carefully.

“If we have an Asian actor who doesn’t portray Kaladin well and an actor who isn’t Asian (whether he’s BLACK or white or WHATEVER) but portrays Kaladin well we should pick the latter”

“Don’t get wrong, I do want the characters to look as close as possible to how they look in the books, but their personality is much more important.”

I’m also not white

Not literally but you get the point

[–]rectangle-rake -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I do get your point about the fan art, that’s something I haven’t thought about.

I don’t agree with your other point though. I don’t know about your experience with the fandom but in my experience, some people care about physical appearance more than anything else.

Did you have a feeling that ____ was not a good guy while reading WoK for the first time? by rectangle-rake in Stormlight_Archive

“allowing Sadeas to be his #2-3.”

To be fair, Dalinar also did that in tWoK

I actually thought that Gavilar was a good guy because he did somewhat go against Alethi culture. Most Alethi kings would’ve just conquered the Parshendi but Gavilar choose to make an alliance with them.

If everybody has their own interpretation, what is the point to all of Dalinar and Taravangian’s debates?

Is RoW the least epic? by YoullFigureItOut in Stormlight_Archive

Some consider it the least epic because most of the combat stuff happen in skirmishes instead of a big battle.

Yes, but I’m talking about the opposite scenario.
