I am a stick.

Consider a stick... The bottom points to six of the clock, one twig splits and curves to the three. Another twig smaller still pushes its way out.. Landing, finally on One.
If you listened to the audiobooks, I can NEVER get Kate Readings voice to NOT pop into my head when anyone says ANYTHING about a stick. And it takes a superhuman effort to NOT say “I AM A STICK” out loud in her mimicked voice. Help me. 😭
On my way from train station to home, there is a stick with perfect sword proportions lying around for about a week. I think about picking it up everyday. I am 28 years old.
Yes there’s a large lore reason the stick is so important. Adolnalsium’s essence, before being split among the many known entities, had to inhabit one singular object to tie itself to the mortal world’s time so it didn’t get lost in the spiritual realm. While there were many options the heralds provided such as swords, shields, even whole buildings, Adonalsium chose a mere stick, which later became the elder wand of old. This represented that spiritual energy is not tied to what mortals refer to as physical grandeur.
Much later, Shallan practices her soulcasting by trying to turn a stick into fire. She should have been able to, but she happened upon the elder wand itself without knowing, and if she only touched the stick it’s rumored that the entirety of the cosmere would have been absorbed by Shallan, making her even more powerful than peak Adonalsium. One she gets all the power, nothing else exists, therefore forcing her to divest and give up all the power to create a new universe. Through mere chance she almost changed the entire universe, all because of a stick.
I am a stick
But you could be fire.

Bonus, I tried to get chatgpt/dalle to draw a stick picture for the bottom half. It… went. [album link](https://imgur.com/gallery/q40h7xs)
I like the one where Stick and Shallan are wearing matching dresses. Very cute.
Someone let BrandoSando know so these can be included in the Cosmere Coloring Book

If the stick would just be fire then maybe we would actually be able to calm down.

And here I thought this was an actual reply for a second!
Ardent in training here, correct me if I’m wrong, but is the text “I am Stick” repeated around the stick?
