urgent info

So Wikipedia has a section on the front page where they share fun facts every day, right? Today they had this. “Did you know…”

I laughed really hard at this and sent it to my friend in complete confusion over what could have caused this. My initial theory was it was tied to the release of the movie IT, however:

IT came out a year after, so that couldn’t have been the cause. Then my friend said “weren’t there like, killer clowns in 2016?” I didn’t know what they were talking about but I looked it up and guess what?

In 2016 there were in fact mass killer clown sightings, and they were widespread enough to create news articles, movies, an an intervention from the president of the World Clown Organization. This is our leading theory on the rise of clown porn in 2016.

Anyway I love Wikipedia. This is a cosmere fan blog and an incredibly inactive one at that. Just really needed to post about this

I think pierced ears and earrings are cool and all, but I’m not a fan of wearing earrings all the time because they allow the evil god of change and war and destruction to influence your thoughts emotions and actions and prevent the god of safety and peace and preservation from helping you and giving you extra superpowers and letting you share references to your favorite book series.

The Ultimate Rematch: Holy Moonlight Sword vs. Nightblood

Holy Moonlight Sword

From: Bloodborne (and every other Fromsoftware game)

Wielder: Ludwig

One of the recurring elements in FromSoftware games, all the way from King's Field to Elden Ring, the Holy Moonlight Sword is the Bloodborne iteration of the weapon. Implied to have been created by the Great Ones (eldritch god-like beings), it is discovered by Ludwig the Holy Blade in the labyrinths beneath Yharnam, and used to fight the scourge of beasts within the city. Eventually, Ludwig lost himself to beasthood, and found his way to the Hunter's Nightmare, along with this Holy Moonlight Sword. In Ludwig's boss fight, the sword would return Ludwig's sanity to him (perhaps due to its eldritch origins and his own familiarity with it), allowing him to fight like a man, rather than a beast. After Ludwig's defeat, it would either be gifted or taken by force by the Good Hunter to use on their own journey.

Nightblood

From: Cosmere/Warbreaker

Wielder: Vasher

Nightblood is a pure black sword that bleeds black smoke when drawn. If a wielder unsheathes it for too long, they will die. When it was forged, it was given the command to “destroy evil,” but it doesn’t actually understand what evil is (to quote one of my submittors, it “approaches this with all the enthusiasm and moral nuance of a golden retriever”). It is very chipper and thrives on approval, wanting to be praised for all the evil people it has killed. The sword can possess evil people, causing them to kill the evil people around them and then usually commit suicide. It can communicate telepathically with others. Finally, it is canonically “fascinated by gender, and trying to figure it out.”

Vote:

Holy Moonlight Sword

I understand Holy Moonlight Sword probably wins for popularity, but I have to point out Nightblood EATS investiture, the energy that powers magic. Holy Moonlight Sword looks magic to me. Nightblood’s just gonna have it for breakfast

Happy new year! :)

kaladin doesn’t know what his shirt says

[starry-stormy-knight]

taken me ages but behold archive karecktors

adolin and maya beloved but also the most time consuming because i had to figure out how the hell i was going to do adolin's hair and not hate looking at it, and maya took me forever to figure out the colours lol. looked at so many references trying to figure out what dead vines should look like and what i would like it to look and i couldnt really find what i wanted lol. but what i went for was like really dried out and very very dead looking fibre. that wasnt too bad but trying to figure out her clothes that would look decent before and after she becomes a deadeye was hell for me an amateur colour theory understander lmao

i have drawn shallan before so she wasn't too difficult but i was truly torn about which version of pattern i wanted to show?? so i did a few of them hahah. i did a canon compliant version, alluding a bit to BE NOT AFRAID angel vibes. but im pretty passionate about ferrofluid-looking pattern as thats what i picture in my head (but i couldnt really find a good reference so i couldnt really do it well. it's also like, about the way it moves more than a still frame so extra challenge). and if you've seen my shallan art you know i. asdlkfjh. i originally pictured pattern as a QR code so i was compelled to continue it. @mistbjorn this one's for you because youre so right <3

syl i usually picture similar to kida in disney's atlantis when she merges with the crystal and you can see her scalp beneath her transparent hair, so thats the inspo for her. for the sylspear i designed it to look a bit like a caduceus as homage to kaladin's medical training and his dad, and like it's not that deep but i guess the swirly glowy bits are his duality and being torn between two worlds etc etc or you can just picture spren zipping about if you want lol like i definitely pictured syl was one but the other makes no sense

the kholins i dont have much to say since they were not part of my original plan hahaha but i couldn't help adding them too. i lowkey struggled to make them unique but also similar because family alksdjfhs i was sketching this around a time i did a lot of face studies so it was so whack and the colouring absolutely killed me so it is what it is asldkjaklsdjf

[gay-ass-worldhopper]

Hey Stormlight people! I’ve had this for a while but finally managed to recreate it digitally!

This is my unofficial script/language/alphabet (+ user manual because I made it far more complicated than was probably necessary but whatever) that I created for the singer/listener people, and I thought some of y’all might enjoy!

Couple of notes:

the rhythm symbols have no actual basis in anything, I just tried to make something that captures the feeling of the word. “Tension” is one of the more obvious ones but the others are vibe only so

Apologies on the handwriting, it’s not the greatest but oh well

If you have any questions on how to use or just anything in general I am willing to answer!

All credit goes to me please don’t claim this as your own (ik it’s whatever but this did take me like actually ~14 hours total so please be kind)

still cant believe brandon gave kaladin a time skip, entirely off screen girlfriend to try and beat the gay allegations

[imonlyhereforcrem]

Lews Therin Telescope, what do you know? What have you learned?

I think you cracked the last unknown Shard with something like Intellect (which lines up with the “Wisdom” or “Prudence” theories). Alternatively, is Virtuosity a dual Shard of Artistry and Intellect?

Or maybe you found something more narrowly about Stormlight? Invention - Navani, Artistry - Shallan, Intellect - Jasnah?

17 - forest 

Our protagonists hiking through the weird, glassy forests of Shadesmar. :) image description: image of the group travelling shadesmare in Oathbringer, hiking through a forest of weird glassy plants in various spiky and bulbous shapes and with life spren bobbing in the air around them as small green glowing lights. In the back to the left are Pattern and Syl apparently in deep conversations. Syl is carrying a long harpoon over her shoulder. In from if the walks Shallan in her white coat, throwing suspicious and interested glances at the vegetation. In front are Adolin and Kaladin, with Maya packe between them. Adolin holds her hand causally while saying something to Kaladin and looking into the direction they are heading. Kal is in uniform, carrying a second harpoon, and bag strapped over one shoulder and across his chest. Adolin wears fashionably adapted lighteyes clothes and a rucksack on his bag. Both men sport proper beginnings to a beard.
