Musings of an arrogant fool

|| Ben || he/him. This is just a place for me to drop off idle thoughts and musings.  Some may be philosophical in nature, others simple observations.  As implied by the name, some of these may come across as arrogant, which is an unfortunate part of my nature.  I hope you enjoy. Currently largely doing SA stuff.

You can tell that Brandon Sanderson is a Jane Austen nerd because Denth is so the Wickham to Vasher’s Darcy.

I know it’s pretty cringe to reblog your own flop posts, but is there really so little overlap between pride and prejudice fans and warbreaker fans?

For the February Patreon art commission for the @17thshard I illustrated the Crow's Song overcoming peril on the Crimson Sea. (Really the whole scene should be told by a multitude of camera angles).

Finding the right references for the ship was a task! Fourmasters are difficult to find before the 1850s. But at least I learned a lot about sails and rigging on the way. 

Painting the crimson moon was really fun. So I also have a version with just the moon, the background and the illustrations without the clouds.

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

[lizluvscupcakes]

Well, OP, I’m officially invested in this shit. Your whiny ass is doing self care if I have to drive to your goddamn house and do it for you.

[aquilacalvitium]

By Talos this can't be happening

[oysters-aint-for-me]

reblog this everyone i wanna see what happens when op’s reverse-hubris forces them to practice basic self care.

why? because it’s funny and completely possible actually so good fucking luck op

[tungsten-moon]

I figured out roughly how many notes it's been getting per day and multiplied that by the number of days left until the end of 2023

If we keep it going at this rate we'll be far past 666k

[aquilacalvitium]

IMPORTANT

Okay so clearly I've underestimated y'all

So how about we make this more interesting?

I will practise self care if this post reaches 666k BY THE END OF 2022

[moonlarking]

[aquilacalvitium]

that ardent in the asylum was like "with all due respect you should leave treating mentally ill people to medical professionals" and kaladin went "wait. i'm a medical professional"

[genuinelyshallow]

One of the silliest and funniest things about THE duel , and I think we all agree it’s so epic you have to laugh,

Is the fact that Pattern was there in the arena moving around and trying to grab any of the four opponents attention…. And only grabbed Syl’s

In THAT arena. Where Adolin and Kaladin were kicking their asses, remember to picture Pattern swirling around and Syl trying to pinpoint him while she’s there for Kaladin.

[kyerinell]

I think he gets Abrobadar's attention too. (iirc Kaladin looks over to see "orange plate" swinging at the sand for some reason)

[single-use-ship-of-theseus]

wait why the fukc was Hoid drinking cologne?

[onlycosmere]

I see two options:

He wasn’t; Hoid just lied to cover up the fact he smelled like cologne despite being a beggar at the time.

After being insulted, a noble ordered that the “foul-mouthed beggar” be removed from his presence. Hoid promptly downed a bottle of cologne so no one could accuse his mouth of being anything but pleasant.

[kyerinell]

I see another one: It wasn’t cologne, it was something off world and alcoholic, with a strong fragrance Wax wasn’t familiar with so he assumed it was cologne.

[veeranger]

every time someone is like ok make your christmas list im like well suddenly it turns out ive never desired anythign in my fucking life

Honour Brothers! Kaladin and Zuko ’s obsession with honour would really make them bond. Fan art of my favourite grumpy characters from Stormlight archive and Avatar the last airbender 😋

[queencalicoanne]

Season 1 Zuko would absolutely see this glowy-eyed Wind Runner and mistake Kaladin for the Avatar. 10/10 I like this.

[sebarial-the-economist]

Meanwhile Kaladin would see Season 1 Zuko as another grumpy lost soul in need of stew and hope.

[kyerinell]

....Someone please tell me there’s a fic with Iroh making everyone tea while Rock is making stew

“Anyways lets not talk about the Darker aspects of Justice!”

- Our DM Talking about a Guild of Paladins who follow Justice to a T and we started getting into the implications of what that meant.

[madxmellon]

I think I’m now finally able to draw Kaladin like how I actually picture him… only took three tries :,)

did you know that a side effect of the covid vaccine is a heavier period?

guess who found that out by getting gettysburged yesterday?

like for real. the worst day of menstruation of my life. for people who know their menstrual cycle and haven’t gotten a vaccine yet, book it around your cycle if at all possible omg.

[seekingthemacguffin]

I got my first shot a week ago and the lead-up to my period was very strange. Normally I start getting cramps about half a day before I start bleeding, but I had that pre-period crampy feeling for three days this time followed by a pretty heavy period. I was pretty concerned until I realized it might have something to do with having just gotten the vaccine. I’m definitely pleased to see they’ve started collecting data about it.

If you have room to maneuver when scheduling your shot definitely keep your cycle in mind. 

[kitschywitsch]

This happened to me this week. I went to the doctor and they didn’t tell me this, so here it is for folks who might need it.
