“But now he wanted in a way he never had. He had been tempted to bury his face in his soup bowl and lap at it like a greedy animal. He wanted to place himself between Alex’s legs now and do the same to her.”

“Galaxy Stern,” Darlington said, his eyes flashing gold, “I have been crying out to you from the start.”

UNWELL

[abrascal]

“He pulled her close, his fingers digging into her abdomen, and she could feel claws at their tips. He whispered in her ear, “I will serve you ’til the end of days.”

finished way of kings and:

BELOVED, dalinar was really That Bitch even to his own nephew

big fan of dalinar's growth into self-acceptance

strong self-acceptance among dalinar, kaladdin and shallan

love kaladin bc he's so relatable and very human

kaladin has literally been through the worst times in his life and it's just made him soooo much stronger, who doesn't love a good comeback story

dalinar is somehow not annoying despite being Lawful Good

i cannot and will not stop imagining shardplate as the big bulky armour from warhammer 40k lmao

the parshendi!! the parshendi!! i've had so many questions abt them and i love how they're slowly getting answered but i want to know more abt the singing, the hive mind, the parshmen

szeth serving a secretly crafty king? classic, we love that

hoid being typical hoid

adolin was kind of a nothingburger this entire book but it's okay, we see the potential (ditto with shallan)

jasnah kicks ass and i love her

NAVANI omg jasnah is def navani's daughter and i'm as obsessed with navani as dalinar is

sadeas standing on the justice glyph was wild like i love this stupid brazen imagery

[abrascal]

wild that adolin has a roster like that 😭

[abrascal]

fanli, the dream man 😭 he’d kill anyone who hurt xishi 🥺

[abrascal]

“i pity anyone’s not me. a hazard of being the man i am.” kelsier how do you get away with this level of confidence

[abrascal]

kelsier in the purgatory is already in the running for comedian of the year

[abrascal]

i’ve always felt so bad for marsh and i’m sorry that marsh is self-aware enough to feel that way abt himself too

[abrascal]

the way i almost screamed bc they couldn’t kill my guy sazed after making him a eunuch, killing his girl, and getting him disciplined by his synod

[abrascal]

having a man slice into ur boobs when ur in the ibtc is vulgar and unfair
