alec would be a huuuge soyjak poster. he would say soyjak meme things out loud all the time. sending them in the undersiders group chat. it would be awful. cherish would come to recruit him and he'd be like cringe slaughterhousecels seething over based undersiderchads and cherish would just leave right then and there. to the disappointment of the rest of the team who were all secretly wishing he'd join the nine so they could legally kill him
So, it seems like the fandom consensus on Pale is that you shouldn't bother reading it, because it is "too long". I'm going to push back against this. Yes, it is "too long". Yes it does loose focus near the end, and become a bit thematically muddled. Yes, it has it's share of Wildbow's patented Boring Action Schlock, particularly near the end (but not any more, proportionally, than Worm or Pact or any of the other ones that the fandom has decided are the "good" ones). But it is still 100% worth reading. The highs are just that high.
she did the unthinkable to you and shes the only one who can fix it. wanting her is written in your very bones and its because she did the writing. she needs to do it again. youve spent years fighting to come to terms with what your life was going to be and the everythings changing so much and shes right there and you feel sick and you feel happy and shes sorry and shes telling you shes going to make it better now and youre starting to get a sense of deja vu
lisa felt the need to request no tongue bc her shard told her exactly what taylor did to that poor girl

texas is funny. this one time a guy(in his truck) yelled at me(outside)(in summer) for wearing a cowboy hat(to provide shade)(while working)(in the sun) while i was working in the garden (in summer)(in texas)(on a sunny day)
sorry i’m a #FakeCowboy for wearing a cowboy hat(in the summer)(in the sun)(while working)(in a garden) instead of wearing my cowboy hat(meant for working)(in the sun) while driving a truck(air-conditioned) like a #RealCowboy who does Manly Work (with his truck)(spotless)(unblemished)(with AC)
Shallan once famously failed to convince the Stick to become fire. But how might other characters approach this stick-y problem?
Moash: There is nothing for you as a stick. Fade away. Become ash.
Hoid: Do you like stories, Stick? How about the one about Firestick, the Stick Who Became Fire…
Rlain: To understand fire, you must become fire. It’s about bridging minds.
Renarin: I see no future in which you become fire…But the future can be changed!
Steris: I have prepared 957 reasons why being fire would be advantageous for you. Reason 1, Part A…
Lopen: Women LOVE a stick who can become fire, gon!
Dalinar: You WILL become fire.
Dalinar: …Huh. That usually works.
Lift: You know what’s delicious? Toasted marshmallows!
Navani: (Gets out a big magnifying glass)
Jasnah: (Turns a rock into fire instead)
Jasnah: I like to challenge myself.
Mraize: You have to ask yourself, Little Stick: are you hunter, or are you the prey?
Kelsier: I like your style, Stick! You want to join my crew? Your job is being fire!
Odium: First, I must take away everyone this Stick loves!
Nale: I have convinced the ruler to draft a new law. You must become fire.
Sebarial: (Getting a massage) Eh. I hired someone else to do it.
Kaladin: No. This is…wrong.
Kaladin: This Stick wants to be a Stick. And I will protect it!
Kaladin: It will not cease to be a stick on my watch!
Stick: (immediately becomes fire)
Kaladin: NOOOOOOOOOO
non villain character most likely to be a chaser?
