so i maybe met hoid yesterday

I was walking to a pastry shop near my house because I was having a breakdown and needed a cinnamon roll and there. he. was. a guy on the side of the road. young guy with white hair, saxophone, sunglasses, and a hat on the ground for money. like what do you do. So I stood there with shock on my face and a pastry in my hand, then just walked over and sat next to him. he didn’t seem to care so I just sat there vibing with hoid for like an hour. (also his music was really good). But then he stood up to go so I did too and I dropped some money into his hat. and then he smiled at me and poured the money in his hat into his pocket, and theN HE SWEPT THE HAT TO HIS CHEST AND BOWED LIKE AN 18TH CENTURY GENTLEMAN. then he just strolled off.

like we never even spoke to each other but bro im dying

sometimes i think about narnia and i vibrate out of my skin like...

you walk into a world you cannot understand, frozen and dying, and it is you who thaws it. you who kills the witch, you who breaks the stone table, you who slays the wolf. it is you who is crowned and it is you who wails for two worlds when the wardrobe doors shut behind you.

your skin never sits quite right and your teeth are too dull. there are wars in your bones and decades in your eyes before you can reach the telephone on the wall.

you are king. you are queen. they won't let you read the newspapers at breakfast.

it calls you back from beyond a train and from within paint. begs with bloody palms and salt-crusted cheeks. takes from you all that you can give - and sends you back.

you watch your sister fade.

you are a child twice and an adult once. and when you stand in your home again, with crushed bones and the smell of coal still in your nose, you watch them sneer at your sister.

your sister is the sun above you. she is, beautiful and stone-cast, alive in a world you could never stomach. she smiles, still, and stretches her skin over human bones.

she is no longer a friend of narnia. do you tell them it is her who has to bury you all and the stars that are falling from the skies in shards?

It’s kind of a shame that “Catholics worship the saints and Mary on the same level as god” is the prevalent thought among non-Catholics because “Catholics treat the saints and Mary as a divine call center” is both more true in my experience and INFINITELY funnier

Usually cosmere tiktok is just ok but yall needed to see this one I think

[stardustravens]

I have definitely said this before but all I want out of the Adolin/Maya situation is for her to be fully present like a Radiant spren/blade would be, but without Adolin becoming a full Radiant.

[patrickdiomedes]

I want her to be able to summon adolin. Not as a blade, I just want her to pick him up by the ankle and whack people with him

My #1 Cosmere ship

[comiclysmic]

A Stormlight Comic! - Ft. Kaladin and Szeth and… a Goat!

Saw a TikTok with goats climbing face-down a tree and you know what? Goats can surgebind. Kaladin thinks they can so it must be true!

✒️ Made in ClipStudio Paint on iPad

Image description under the cut!

I’ve never made one of these before so forgive me if it’s a bit clunky. 😬

[Image Description]

A comic featuring Kaladin and Szeth traveling through Shinovar.

Kaladin has light brown skin, a narrow chin, bright but deep blue eyes. His hair is long, wavy and black, and tied into a pony tail just above the neck.

Szeth has pale skin, dark green eyes with tired wrinkles underneath, and his head is so very bald. He carries Nightblood, a big black sword, on his back.

Panel 1: Kaladin and Szeth walk along in silence. Kaladin is in front, noticing something out of frame. Szeth is in the background looking ahead of him, not paying attention to Kaladin.

Panel 2: From off-frame Kaladin shouts, “Szeth!” Szeth freezes and looks alarmed.

Panel 3: Kaladin, still shouting, “That creature!” His hand points upward at a sheer cliff face. The cliff has green grass with little white flowers growing in patches along narrow ledges.

There is also a goat.

The goat is shaggy with white, brown and black hair, a fluffy tail, and horns that curve back past it’s ears. It stands mostly upright on all four legs, as if standing on a horizontal surface, except it’s sticking right out off the cliff face into the open air. It’s whole body is facing downwards, the head and neck sticking up and out to observe it’s surroundings.

Panel 4: Kaladin, mouth stretched open and wide, teeth bared, and very much still shouting, “It’s Surgebinding!” Syl, small in size and made of varying shades of pale blue, has popped into the frame next to Kaladin’s head. Her little hands are clenched into excited fists as she exclaims, “Woah!”

Szeth, tucked down into the corner of the frame, looking both bemused and unimpressed replies, “…That is a goat.”

As I’ve said before, I’m blind. There are a lot of things in Stormlight that I’ve never quite been able to grasp, because I can’t get my hands on them.

A wonderful friend embroidered the Skybreaker and Edgedancer glyphs, and sent them to me. As soon as I felt them, I had a thought about the differences between those two glyphs. Here’s what I came up with:

It’s fascinating that the glyphs are similar in their general shape/outline, but the details are pretty different. Almost all of the lines in the Edgedancer glyph are connected in some form, but almost none of the lines in the Skybreaker one are. I just realized that the Edgedancer glyph looks a little like the branches of some kind of plant, but I don’t know if that’s intentional or not.

What I want to focus on is the difference in how connected the lines of each glyph are, and how that’s reflected in the Orders.

The lines in the Skybreaker glyph still work together to form a cohesive whole, but each of them is also separated from the others. There’s also that one in the middle that sticks up by itself, which makes me think of Nale . The Skybreakers have a rigid structure that comes together to form the Order, but there’s none of the closeness or connection we see with the Windrunners , for example. It’s very formal and utilitarian, and that seems to reflect in the glyph.

The lines in the Edgedancer glyph all connect together, and each is a vital part of making the glyph complete. It makes me think of the Edgedancer Ideals to remember those who are forgotten and listen to those who are ignored. We don’t know much about the structure of the Order, but I can guarantee that it’s a lot less rigid and defined than the Skybreakers .

I think that’s the closest I can get to what I was thinking. I don’t know if there’s actually anything there, or if I just made false connections when I felt those glyphs for the first time

[blindradiant]

Things that Kaladin will find strange when he reaches Shinovar, an incomplete list:

- plants that don’t move

- soil

- buildings casually made of wood and/or clay

- buildings with east-facing windows

- an entirely unfamiliar culture

- being quite a bit taller than the average Shin person (it would be hilarious if he accidentally hits his head on a doorframe at least once)

- being surrounded by white people

- and of course, spending time around Szeth and Nightblood

I’m already so excited for the roadtrip. I’m sure it’ll be absolutely chaotic and unhinged in the best way
