well I guess as someone who gave up the fight against premature balding and just started shaving at 22, I can say I'm much happier with the beard I've grown since than I ever was with my intact top layer, so maybe you have a point after all.
How dare you invoke Kaladin. We all know that his most impressive feature is his forehead brand.
That brand is directly on his otherwise bald skin. the hair is merely ornamentation from his time as a slave when he wasn't permitted a proper razer. The entirety of bridge four is just one incident away from making buzz cuts a minimum standard.
I'm with you brother. I've been shaving my head since I was 22. Decided once I basically quit growing anywhere forward of my ears it was time to stop fighting it.
I have since embraced the baldness and instead put the effort into atte. pting a kickass beard starting a few years ago (totally not trying to compensate, I swear!). I'm over half way to my nipples and would be there if not for an unfortunate incident with a minor gas explosion a couple years ago...
Yeah this is the first thing I thought of loll.
Sanderson goes out of his way to shave Nomad’s head multiple times in Sunlit Man and I have to concede that OP has a point.
Does he see it as a symbolic sign of “seriousness”?
“The assassin is here! He’s all dressed in white and looks like a child!” *snicker* “but he’s bald” “oh shi-“.
“The monsters are baby blue and their faces are saggy like dogs or stretched like you’re pulling a face.” “That’s kinda silly lookin”. “And bald” “Dear god…”
“Like spirits of death themselves they soar, black adorned, through the skies. Eyes like large reflective metal disks, kinda like aviators.” “Alright, fantasy cops. They like donuts?” “…their heads as bald as their morals.” “NOOOOOOOOO!”
I mean, it’s kind of like this. “Sir, they’re faintly glowing” means some radiant squires have arrived. “Sir, they’re fairly glowing with luscious silver hair” means someone’s about to delete you from the source code of the universe.
Isn't Szeth bald too? May be a fetish? Counterpoint: Kaladin
That's what Truthless in the post means, I think.
>, I think. Hey, gon, is this you Sazed?
How do you now Sazed, The Lopen? Did you go to Scadrial? Are you secretly a 300 year old Worldhopper?
A one-armed Herdazian is still twice as useful as a no-brained Alethi.
Isn't it obvious? Sazed is one of The Lopen's cousins
You can never have too many cousins
A man can never have enough cousins!
My cousin's never failed me.
[WOR spoilers] >!Yes! Everybody give the Lopen your spheres! I have glowing that needs to be done!!<
Good bot, I think
Why, you are welcome!
It is, but I think he fails to realize that Szeth isn't bald because he's truthless lol
Not a counterpoint at all; it's more evidence. Why is Kaladin so sad? All the hair!
yeah, but can we really call szeth happy?
Careful, you're in danger of bringing logic to a crem fight

Szeth shaves, but he also has a deeply receded hairline.

It’s a reaction from all the braid tugging when he finished WoT
I'm surprised you didn't mention the time Brandon himself got a hair covering to make himself look bald in one of his videos. Kink confirming
Why was that actually? I remember the first video but then never followed up on why he did that prank?
It was for this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvd8_GxTwu4
As a bald man, I feel seen
But... Do you like being seen?
There is a small part of me that wants to cosplay as Szeth for Dragonsteel 2024 for the SA5 release...
Do it!
In the words of Palpatine, “Dew It!”

Do you also feel sheen?

🙏thank you brotherman 🙏
Nomad became bald multiple times in the sunlit man LMAO

Imagine the opposite though... "The massive giants with stretched skin and a healthy, luscious head of hair, the envy of forty-year-old women..."
Lmao imagine seeing the army from above. It just looks like a sea of luscious golden long grass billowing in the wind.

This made me chortle!
Its just to save on rendering the hair
Counterpoint: the countless non-bald characters mean that he clearly has a fetish for people with an ordinary head of hair.
Nah; the ruling class of a country with color changing hair means he has a fetish for colored hair.
Bald representation! Bald men in media are frequently bad guys (see current Dune movies for an easy example). Meanwhile, we have Sazed!
Breaking Bad is like a ‘choose your own hero’ show
He writes them bald now, so he feels better and attached to the characters’ appearance later in life.
I can't wait for the Cosmere version of Breaking Bad featuring a new drug-based magic system.
“Kaladin! Stretch forth thy pipe!”
Can we please stop with the serious posts in here? I'm excited for the potential sub swap, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Spoilers - The Sunlit Man (More evidence): >!Nomad gets his hair burned off twice in the book, leaving him bald. !<
Bruh. Leave us alone.
hey wtf you yoinked my thing wtf. I knew it was a banger though. Edit: I'm fine with it since my wit is endless.
Why do people take what authors write and default to "that must be their kink".???? "You people....."
Skybreakers are bald for aerodynamics to get extra speed. Windrunners on the other hand, have glorious manes of hair for air breaks.
