Guys you gotta hear me out

Hear me out on this one

Guys

If/when the cosmere gets an animated series, they GOTTA do this thing

Make every planet have different artstyles, like in spiderverse's different dimensions

Every shard influences the people it has power over differently

And you can see what planet worldhoppers are from, but this doesn't affect the plot

Mistborn era 1/tWoK/WoR: Mysterious and wise

Oathbringer: Kind

Rhythm of War: Not that all-powerfull

Roshar: 3/10 no amount of native bird species, but there are still some from off world

Ashyn and Braize: 0/10 I’m lumping them together because they are in the rosharan system and have no birds and are horrible

Canticle: 0/10 this planet just. Completely sucks . Death world and no birds

Nalthis: 8/10 good amount of birds, have a lot of parrots and other beautiful avians, but no significant relevance for birds in nalthian culture

Lumar: 6/10 the primary mentioned presence of birds are seagulls (seagulls are still great tho) so the population/diversity seems limited

The Grand Apparatus: 3/10: it has Lawnarks which are not birds but are bird like so I’ll give it a consolation point. There could also be other birds but we have no idea

Vax, Dhatri, Bjendel, U’Tol, Obrodai and Mythos: idk???

Scadrial: 9/10 it’s supposed to be ecological similar to earth so that means that almost every bird on earth is on scadrial (at least post catacendre), and earth has a lot of awesome birds

Sel: 7/10 there are unique bird species mentioned (and more assumed to live there), but little actual worldbuilding goes into the birds

First of the Sun: 20/10: YOU KNOW THEM, YOU LOVE THEM, THE AVIAR ARE ***MAGIC*** BIRDS!!! BIRDS HAVE AN UNRAVILED IMPORTANCE ON FIRST OF THE SUN, SO ITS THE BEST PLANET IN THE COSMERE!!!! (also I know it’s the worms that are technically magical but the birds are the ones that do the things so it still couns)

Taldain: 2/10 dunno how many birds there are there but it’s likely there are at least some.

Komashi: 6/10 it would be way higher (BIG CROWS!!!) but I’m not sure how alive the birds are.

There are a ton, in fact, it seems as though Sanderson is contractually obligated to throw a romance in for almost every book in the Cosmere. That being said, there are ten standout ships which make all you romantasy heads swoon!

Oot's Dream: Not worth much. Standard Issue Government Ship. It's top ten by virtue of their being so few to begin with

Honour's Path: It's got Notum. It's got Mistspren. It got the Gang to the climax. It's got stuff going for it. Number 9 purely on the Strength of Notum

Union: Hey. It may be evil and pseudo-fascist and run by the worst (and only) dictator on Canticle. BUT, it flies and has more plot to it than either of the other two. Besides, it's a fancy flying ship. What more do you want?

Dajer's Ship: I mean, it's actual Space Fascists, but I dig the aesthetic, and Dajer probably isn't the worst Malwish Scardrian out there

Dusk's Raft: It's reliable, it's cheap, and it has slug excreta under it. That's, like, three great things about it. And you get Dusk as a bonus, What's not to love? It loses heavily in my personal rankings by virtue of harboring The Devil's own (birds), but this list is objective, so eh.

Crow's Song: Opening the fiftieth percentile of this list is Crow's Song. Run by the tyrannical Captain Crow, it soon learnt the value of friendship and Good Vibes through the incredible government superspy, Glorf. The Found Family vibes will surely make this one of the best Ships to ever sail the Cosmere

The Dynamic Storyteller's Incredible Conveyance: You know everything I said about Crow's Song, right? THIS is that, but it's a SPACESHIP. A SPACESHIP WITH A DRAGON AND THE POTENTIAL TO MEET HOID. Bam. Perfect!

The Wandersail: Listen. If you don't want to be guarded by a paraplegic Dawnshard, a Shardbearer and a Potential Chasmfiend, you are truly a lost cause, sir. Besides, even the Legendary version of it is capable of offering great things. Like Murder Island. Murder Island with a slice of moral implications. Murder Island with a slice of moral implications and guilt.

Fourth Bridge: Yeah, family is cool and all, but may I introduce you to the Wonders of ENGINEERING? THIS CAN FLY. IT CAN FLY! You can fly! This is awesome! DUDE! Come on! You can become the Windrunner. For legal purposes, I personally loathe engineering for being too practical.
