I'm normal and then I remember that Jasnah used to write adventure stories and poems when she was a child and then I'm not normal again

She's a ten, but she also murdered her mother and repressed those memories so hard she convinced herself that her father did it.

[thelightsarecallingme]

he's a tien, but he's dead and you still have his rock

[ach-sss-no]

when brandon sanderson talks about villains in his famous free youtube writing class video lectures he'll say 'what's the difference between gollum and sauron' and of course he means the villain that's present in the narrative and characterized in a way the audience can potentially relate to or sympathize with vs. the looming threatening anonymous far-off force (among other things). but every time he asks that i think 'well one of those guys tracked down frodo and got his ring back'

Brandon Sanderson: What's the difference between Gollum and Sauron?

OP: Skill issue.

I would love it if the first trailer for the Stormlight TV series is the entire prelude.

Like, the prelude never shows up in the main series. It only exists to be a trailer.

The TV only watchers ask "Hey, when does this happen in the show?" and the bookies have to look them dead in the eyes and say "This doesn't come up again until episode 40 of season 5."

Some people seem to forget that The Way of Kings had more than 1 "prologue," so allow me to clarify:

I mean the PRELUDE prologue

The part where all the heralds collectively decide "Yeah, Taln can solo Braize" and just decide to dip

Yeah, remember that part? That part we only see in the very beginning and the tail end of the 5th book?

Yeah, I want that as the first trailer.

[hyperpotamianarch]

the Way of Kings has 3 prologues. The third one is just called "chapter 1" because after prelude and prologue it's kind of hard to find another fitting word.

I am not immune to shallan's descriptions of jasnah 😌

Waxillium Ladrian carries marked bills in case he gets robbed, mixes stuff into his water so it looks like booze in case he needs to fake being drunk, and makes sure he always has a metal button on his shirt in case he needs to kill someone with it.

Is it any wonder that he's a perfect match for Steris "I got nervous last night so to calm myself down I accidentally planned for every conceivable apocalypse scenario" Harms

Vin

[lightweaver-naeuri]

Shallan/Vin: Vin is her rock, sees through Shallan's jokes and sooths her deepest insecurities. Vin would kill for Shallan.

Vin/Radiant: Radiant is her rock, sees through Vin's tough exterior and treats her as the gemheart she is. Radiant would kill for Vin.

Veil/Vin: The most traumatized Freak4Freak combo in the Cosmere. They would kill for each other and make out over the corpse.

[lightweaver-naeuri]

You may absolutely add, you're so right.

Valette/Radiant: Radiant is chivalrous in such a genuine and sapphic way, it makes Valette's heart do flips. Valette is Radiant's princess, Radiant is Valette's knight.

Shallan/Valette: Shallan can tell that Valette is unfamiliar with court functions instantly. She strikes the perfect balance of incessant teasing and gentle guidance, and Valette is glued to her side the instant any ball begins.

Valette/Veil: Have you seen Tangled?

Old Fanart piece for the Stormlight Archive. Recently returned to the book, so here are some fanart I kept in my folders. Was definitely drawing it after reading first two books for the first time.

kelsier really introduced himself to the wrong guy, he should have met up with navani instead of gavilar. hey pretty woman i heard you're a genius scientist. what's that? your husband doesn't think you're clever enough to be a scientist in your own right? have you tried slitting his throat and killing him and killing him and killing him and then tying concrete to his legs and dumping his body in the nearest convenient river? if it does't work out with him i'm here for you. and your comprehensive understanding of stormlight. mainly your intellect to be honest.

I don’t wanna hear again that shallans way of kings chapters are boring when it’s so PEAK. it’s literally—

Jasnah, internally: i hope in my wardship that she learns from my examples in scholarship to question her surroundings

Shallan, internally flushing: oh man I’m questioning all right

[querade]

i like this but i also enjoy SO MUCH knowing that canon Shallan was too culturally biased to consider being interested in women and so was just. panicking?? all the time??? in WOK? every time jasnah looked at her. can you imagine the COPE required for 'i bet every good vorin woman would think about Jasnah's cutting gaze this much'

And then it hit Sanderson, Kelsier was Fortnite's Tien.

[bl0ated-corpse]

why did you make this. What could possibly have possessed you to think that the world wanted this.
