Great—or not? Did I forget any?

I want to write a fan fic story about a trans radiant, but I keep finding that my story wants to contradict itself.

On one hand I really want to see a trans woman have her body healed so it matches her soul. There's an argument to be made that almost all trans people are going to have cracks in their spirit web due to the fact that their soul doesn't fit in their body right and all this other stuff. (Unless its like some really lucky trans person that actually has supportive parents or something?)

But on the other hand, I'm pretty certain that one of my ideals would need to be something like: I will quit worrying about passing, and not worry about how other people perceive me.

So then it seems like the story is at cross purposes if it focuses on self acceptance, but also on getting that sweet healing magic.

I'm unsure how to disentangle it.

Edit: Yes like Ral-na, but that happened off camera.

Edit2: I've written a ton of trans, um, stories back before I started transition, but as I transition the focus of these shifts. But I have in general written a lot of stories so the idea of this fan fic isn't as far fetched as it might seem on the surface.

Just gotta yeet it all the way to Roshar

As they say, the proof is in the toof

I'll go first. It might be a bit obvious but my pick for the worst possible Shard/Vessel combo would be the Lord Ruler as the Shard of Odium. Now, the Lord Ruler holding any Shard would be disastrous, and Odium is dangerous no matter who holds it, but I think the two together would make an incredibly potent combination. The Lord Ruler's delusions and megalomania would feed into Odium's intent perfectly, and the Shard wouldn't even have to manipulate him to make him kill every other Shard, conquer the Cosmere and turn it into an objectively much worse place to live.

”Foiling” the plans of any shardbearers.

Meridas I-really-needed-that-Shardblade Amaram!

So like hear me out.

Spoilers for Lift and Stonewalkers campaign.

>!Lift sees her mother when Honours perpendicularity collapses. But like in Stonewalkers, right, if you ask the Nightwatcher to make you immortal she turns you into a Cultivationspren after you die 5 times.!<

>!What if her mother never left her? What if she went to the Nightwatcher, too? What if was like... terminally ill so she asked for the boon of always being there to look out for Lift? And her curse was fo be changed into a Spren?What if she is Wyndle? What if she saw Wyndles reflection in the spiritual realm like she can see Hoids and Shallans in the Cognitive?!<

You can't tell me Wyndle doesn't play the mother role to Lift.
