  • Sebarial is not only one of the Alethi highprinces in Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series, he is also based as hell. In this video, I go on an unhinged rant about my favorite character, why he is an icon, and why he represents our generation.

      I love sebarial and love this video and get the title to catch you but its important to note that Sebarial would be the equivalent of a multimillionaire in the low hundreds of millions range.
      Its a *far* way off from the weight of capital and resources of a billionaire (like a LONG way) and humans are really bad at processing how vast the difference is.
      There is no one with the equivalent weight of resources of a billionaire on this planet, not kings, not rulers, none.

    That headshot of Brandon Sanderson is so funny and wholesome he looks like a literature professor that keeps extending your thesis due date cause he knows life gets hard sometimes.

    Something I love about Sebarial is how when SPOILERS
    Szeth attacked at the end, Sebarial in the background just took charge of a collapsing, decapitated army while Kaladin was being badass, and avoided the whole thing becoming a rout. He's got some real chops.

  • @jessi4894

    Yeah, I love Sebarial and Palona. Their relationship is one of the only believable romantic relationship (to me, personally) Sanderson has written. It's not love at first sight, an arranged marriage that magically works with a happily ever after or grown "adults" acting like awkward middle schoolers. Sebarial and Palona are what they are, nothing more, opposites and somehow perfect for each other.

    I LOVED Sebarial and Palona! They’re just an amazing intelligent couple. And I don’t believe he was a coward. After all, he was one of the two brightlords who dared to march and fight against the voidbringers with Dalinar, when the rest of the princes stayed behind. I just see him as strategic and most definitely ambitious. If it doesn’t benefit him he’s not gonna get involved. And I love his “I don’t give a damn” attitude when it comes to the opinions of society and the other High Princes. He was there to piss the hell out of everybody and I really appreciated the fact that everyone underestimated him because he wanted it that way, not because he didn’t know what he was doing. He’s brilliant and I also like his “I don’t care, but I actually do deep inside” way, you know, he likes to portray this uncaring type of character but you can actually see he does care for Palona and for his staff and his people. He is a brilliant character!

    I don't know many cowards that would go out into an OPEN BATTLEFIELD WITH NOT 1 BUT 2 HURRICANES CLASHING INTO SAID BATTLEFIELD and what are him and his woman doing you ask?! Drinking God damned wine and reading BOOKS. If that isn't a BAMF I don't know what is. He had faith in Dalinar and Shallan. He became one of my favorite characters in this series. We need a Sabariel and Lift spinoff "big bang theory" style sitcom with those two ahaha.

    I think this video helps explains why he's so weirdly likable. In a book that has such high stakes for everyone and so many damn mysteries that make me anxious for literally every character he's a known quantity. Like, spoiler for Rhythm of War - a God fucking dies and his power is taken over by a murderous old utilitarian with what seems like a lot of bad ideas. It's not great. And there's the whole end of the world and whatnot, I have no idea how everyone isn't freaking out all the time. With all that shit greed and hedonism are like old friends.
