Hear me but I want Wayne to go through something to make him grow up some, and I think he and Marasi would be great together. I'm early in BoM but I googled to see if there were other people shipping them and didn't see much.
I'll be real angry if Wax screws over Steris
I'm not sure what the Sanderson/Star Trek fandom crossover is like, but if you've seen ST:V you probably know where I'm going with this.
One the driving plot points of Star Trek V is that Sybok, Spocks brother, uses his telepathic Vulcan abilities to take on people's pain and provide then a euphoric sense of peace. All of this drives the plot to the end where they meet Sybok's god, who is just a weird alien that is trying to escape the galactic core, and we get one of Star Treks best lines ever: "what does god need with a starship?"
More relevant, there's another memorable scene where Kirk is being pressured to give up his pain to Sybok, and he shouts that he needs his pain, and that it's part of what makes us who we are (notably Kirk's son was murdered in cold blood in the last movie, so he's got a lot of recent pain).
Whenever Odium talked about taking on Delinars pain in Oathbringer, or how Taravangodium is telling Moash he doesn't do that anymore, I think of Kirk. Delinar loudly turning down Odium and embracing it, "I need my pain!" Gavw me goose bumps.
I really appreciate this theme, everyone has pain and baggage they carry with them and I love a good story that reminds me that I carry it with me for a reason.
It was great to see this theme come through so well in the books, and I feel like both Star Trek and Sanderson handled it really well.
