The fact that Brandon Sanderson is at 90% with the Mistborn screenplay means that he has written the moment of Vin & Kelsier on the rooftop (Oh child, I'm so sorry & When will you leave me?) and the entirety of the "I am hope" scene & aftermath (What is belief if you don't continue in it after failure) and I have yet to come up with a feasible plan to prepare myself & actually survive seeing both of those on the big screen without absolutely breaking down in a puddle of tears. I know it will be years until then but still. My heart is already aching.

Reading The Stormlight Archive is going from being a Shallan/Kabsal shipper in WoK to going "Who? Oh yeah, that jam guy, whatshisnameagain?" by Oathbringer.

Pros of the Stormlight Archive getting an adaptation: There’s going to be so many new fans!!

Cons of the Stormlight Archive getting an adaptation: There’s going to be so many new fans.

Brandon said on stream that the Althei would likely be east Asian--specifically saying Japanese. Which I've always imagined them as south Asian so RIP to Simone Ashely playing a biblically accurate Jasnah

I was skimming through Taln's interlude chapter and I found something interesting. When Taln is going through his like speech that in the past to help people after the Desolations, generally he gets through it but at one point when he gets to Jezrien he pauses. So the first image is him basically going through Soulcasting weapons without any hesitation and then the next is when he gets to Jezerin.

I'm curious why he pauses and if this is foreshadowing something. Perhaps there could have been some conflict between Jezrien and Taln. Or at the very least Taln disagreed with something Jezrien was doing.

In the Stormlight RPG, it mentions that Ash is more lucid than the other Heralds and I've had a theory that Jezrien got Ishar to help him take on some of her madness. When see him throughout the books, he seems a lot less...functional compared to someone like Nale, Battar or even Kalak. So maybe it could be that at the very least, Taln was aware that Jezrien wasn't holding up well.

Also side note, Taln mentions that Ishar is trying to come up with a way to stop knowledge from being lost after Desolations. He...sure did. He found a way to keep humanity from losing information for 4,500 years. God Brandon is so mean.

"It was time for Harmony’s Sword to do his job."

Watercolour and mixed media on Fabriano cold-pressed paper.

Harmony and Wax, my beloved. I'm falling in love with Wax all over again while writing my fanfic, lol. He's such a fantastic character.

Sometimes i laugh at just how funny it is that Taln tried to kill cultivation. I want to know why in the world he would try and how close he got to actually succeeding. It makes me laugh even more that when choosing a 10th herald, Nale nominates him and everyone agrees with very little push back.

God I bet Nale and Taln’s friendship is going to actually kill me at how wholesome it’s going to be in arc 2.

New crack theory with no evidence: The cosmere will end with Hoid's death. Like, actually all the way dead. Not what we've seen already.

Well maybe not the end end but like a sanderlanche-type thing
