The unlearned aren’t as stupid as you think.

Hey can someone help me cover this bill I only need about $30 to cover it and I’m really stressed about having my internet shut off thanks so much in advance

For Pride month, lets celebrate Roshar’s best queer ally, who is obviously the Stormfather. Why, you ask? Well…

1. He’s a storm, so obviously he can create RAINBOWS

Yes, he brings death and destruction, and you do not want to be outside in his storm, but at some point, when the sun begins to return, there must be rainbows. And since he is a continuous storm, he also produces continual rainbows, like any queer ally should.

2. He will marry you against the church’s wishes

Church opposes your relationship on religious grounds? Well no matter–the Stormfather will marry you! So far we’ve only seen that with Dalinar & Navani, but I’m sure the Stormfather would honor any sincere oath. 

“Regular couple? Yaoi couple? Yuri couple? I see no difference–an oath is an oath.” ~The Stormfather, probably

3. He motivates gender nonconformance.

It was thanks to the Stormfather’s visions that Dalinar became interested in reading, a shocking thing for any man to do. And in those visions, Dalinar saw women fighting too, and now there are female Radiants with swords everywhere. So we can thank the Stormfather for doing his part to fight heteronormativity on Roshar. 

4. His power can trans your gender

Ral-na, king of Relu-na in the Reshi Isles, essentially got gender-affirming surgery once he formed his bond and became a Radiant. These abilities are powered by stormlight, which has its source in the Stormfather. Hence, one could say that the Stormfather provides free gender-affirming surgery.

5. Honor is a synonym of pride

I looked this up on thesaurus.com, so I cannot be doubted. The Stormfather is a shadow or a fragment of Honor, and Honor is the shard most synonymous with pride. So one could say that the Stormfather’s continuous storm, marching its way over Roshar, is one endless Pride Parade.

Brandon Sanderson: It can also speed it up.

Questioner: How much Investiture would it take to dilate an area so that one area moves forward about fifteen years into the future while everything else remains? Like, they have ten minutes, everyone else goes fifteen years?

Brandon Sanderson: There’s a couple variables here. Number one is the length of the area, and how fast that fifteen years passes. If we want us to jump forward fifteen years, in how much time? Fifteen years compared to one year? Fifteen years compared to one minute? Fifteen years compared to one second?

These are all different things. And, of course, the more you’re compressing and the larger the area, the more Investiture you’re requiring.

Questioner: Could two unchained Bondsmiths in the course of a duel do it?

Brandon Sanderson: Fifteen years? Fifteen years is gonna be a stretch for what they can get a hold of, but it depends. Unchained Bondsmith, unchained to (for instance) a deity that there is no longer a Vessel controlling that power in the way that it needs to have the limits on it is going to be able to access more than one where there was some Vessel there saying “no.” So there’s one factor in it.

A Bondsmith can access a lot of power, as evidenced by the migration. The migration from Ashyn to Roshar happened with a Bondsmith powering some Elsecalling. And that allowed for some pretty crazy things. Getting an entire population moved through a portal across that much space is a lot of work and a lot of energy.

So what you’re asking, I think that’s stretching. Depends, again, on how long. Fifteen to one, not so hard. Fifteen years in a second is really hard and probably beyond what they have capacity to do.

My take on Ash Spren.
