I really love the moment in Way of Kings where Hoid decides to vibe check Dalinar's cosmere awareness by namedropping Adonalsium with 0 context.

Elend waiting for Vin. I'd wanted to do something with jacksupertoast 's gorgeous Worldhopper Ball pose for ages, and then I finished The Hero of Ages… and somehow Titanic crept into this. I apologise for any emotional damage I may have caused, but at least rest assured that the heart does go on. ❤️🩹 Thank you for letting me use the pic, Jackson! 😊
Painted in Procreate. I did this - particularly the background - like a classic watercolour, and love the result. I used a wild mix of brushes for this, but the “Tex Galore” set covers them completely! For this weekend only, all my Procreate brushes are 30% off: https://tinyurl.com/JDBRUSHES

Shinji Chair Kaladin
did we know about this by the way. theyre inventing new kinds of yuri over there
I'm still thinking about this. Friend of Dorothy is out, Friend of Mishinah is in
every time Harmony talks about needing a Sword, to do immediate Ruin for long-term Preservation, I do kind of want to take him by the hands and say, Sazed, my love, you have an ENTIRE Kelsier. Both your predecessors somewhat cattily identified this as his primary function and mode of operation. I know he is, as a person, a sentient rogue nuclear missile addicted to convoluted manipulation plots and defying every authority up to and including the physical and spiritual laws of nature, but you literally have the same fundamental goal of protecting Scadriel, so I am begging the two of you (@Kelsier YOU TOO, BUSTER) to just coordinate your fucking plans for five minutes.
like, I refuse to believe it’s a coincidence that on the planet ruled (passively) by the Shard Harmony, made of Ruin and Preservation, the other two most notable mythological figures are called Death and the Survivor. Sure, watsonianly this is just kinda coincidentally how it worked out…but is it. Is it really. Or does Sazed send/invite Marsh to be a psychopomp sometimes because it viscerally satisfies his balanced Intent? And! The way that people would instinctively associate Death with Ruin and the Survivor with Preservation, when in fact Death is by temperament more inclined to Preservation while the Survivor is, as discussed, inclined to set the world on fire in order to fix it!
I don’t know where this is going, I just want it to be going somewhere.
You know who could fix America? Szeth son son vallano.
people are always like when are the books going to acknowledge dalinar is the worlds most sucks dad and I’m like there’s a whole book about this actually. It’s called Oathbringer
Kaladin colored + shaded sketch page for @/theknightartorias
Kaladin is my favorite character because hes 6’8, hopelessly heroic, probably one of the strongest characters in the story that isnt a deity, is always looked up to and seen as an AMAZING dude
But he reads as a teenage girl
Same man nicknamed “stormblessed” in a world where storms are holy.
Humiliation Kink is a name you’d see in a family tree from 1640s Massachusetts
Wax is such a fucking funny guy. Attempting so much to not really be religious or anything.
"Everytime I walk by these artifacts of my past I must perform these actions" but like if you called it a ritual he'd have a list (prepared for him by Steris) on how its totally fine and normal.
Also Wayne my guy my buddy christ I'm gonna make another post for it
Brandon gave a roadmap of his cosmere plans going forward:
SA 5 finished by June/July
6 months of outlining Era 3
Slotting in side projects (only mentioned white sand prose verison)
Era 3 and Elantris 2/3 written straight through and will only be release when gotten Era 3 1-3 done.
SA Arc 2
This makes me think that that the Elantris sequels and Era 3 will be really entwined narratively. I have a theory that Kaise's role in Era 3 will be fairly important and this is just reinforcing it.
Trying out a Cosmere poll…
What’s your favourite part of the Cosmere?
Mistborn trilogy (inc. Secret History) and Wax & Wayne
The Stormlight Archive
Warbreaker
Elantris & The Emperor’s Soul
One of the Secret Projects
Shadows for Silence in the Forest of Hell
Sixth of the Dusk

The Most Annoying Things About Living on Roshar
Notice that I said annoying. I’m not talking about real problems like, uh, slavery and war crimes and a broken social system and etc etc. I’m talking about things that I think would just kinda be annoying about living in Stormlight Archive.
1. You can’t tell little white lies about how you’re feeling.
Thanks to those pesky emotion spren always showing how you’re REALLY feeling! As illustrated here: https://www.tumblr.com/taravangians-storming-balls/716486386153291776/me-if-i-lived-on-roshar
2. If you’re Alethi or Alethi-influenced, you have to be religious to get food variety.
Are you a woman? Sweet food only! Are you a man? Spicy/savory food only! Want the food of a gender not your own? Looks like you need to join the church!
Like…what?
3. Nothing is fluffy.
Outside of Shinovar, everything on Roshar is a crab. Crab-dogs, crab-cows, crab-bugs, crab-crabs, you get it. Which is great if you’re an animal who wants to be protected from the constantly dangerous weather, but bad if you’re a human who, like me, wants to pet things that are fluffy. I just feel like petting an axehound isn’t quite the same.
4. If you’re an Alethi woman with naturally hot hands, life sucks.
Now, I wouldn’t understand this myself, since I have icy hands forever, but some women have hands that naturally run hot. And yet those same women must, if they’re Alethi or Alethi-influenced, keep one hand covered at all times. That must be torture for Lady Hot Hands.
5. If you’re an Alethi man, you can’t kick back with a nice book.
At least prior to Dalinar, Alethi men could never just, like, chill out with a lovely book…at least, not without joining the church. And just because many men didn’t realize their loss does not make it any less sad.
6. “We’ve gotta get you a spren.”
Adolin is like the last main character to not have a spren. And I remember when someone said something like “We gotta get you a spren!” to Adolin in the same “jovial” tones as people keep saying, “You need a girlfriend!” to Kaladin. And that’s a lot of pressure. I think it would be annoying, especially to people who just don’t want to join the Radiants thank you very much.
7. You can’t share funny undertext with your guy friends.
If I were reading a book aloud to one of my guy friends and there was a funny undertext, I would be legitimately bummed that I was forbidden to share it with him due to a seemingly worldwide ladies agreement to hide the existence of the undertext from men. But, like, what if it was really funny?
8. The anxiety of constantly leaking Stormlight.
Gems constantly leak Stormlight, and they can only be renewed during storms. People are fairly casual about this in the books, but man, that would make me SO anxious, especially during the Weeping when apparently it’s just expected that all gems will just sort of run out. Like, in my actual life, if there’s a power outage, I’m there huddled like a little ferret nervously checking my phone battery every few seconds, watching the battery percentage tick slowly down and fretting about how I can’t recharge it until the power comes back on but who KNOWS when that will be.
…Okay, so maybe this one is just me.
It is actually funny how with both kaladin and dalinar their brothers deaths are such major parts of their respective arcs that they would likely be different people if not for it. Meanwhile shallan just kinda goes “huh my brother is dead? Whoops turns out it was my close friend Kaladin that killed him” and then moves on like nothing
I really need to know, how many people know Brandon Sanderson on tumblr, how many are avid readers, and how many like me who base my life philosophy on them. Also I’m tagging a lot of tags that are in the genre but not Brandon’s books, because I want to reach more people.
Do you know who Brandon Sanderson is?
Yes, but never read the books.
No, I don’t read.
No, I read but not fantasy.
Yes, read only Mistborn.
Yes, read ALL COSMERE books. And base my life philosophy on them.
Yes, read all books, contribute in every kick starter
No, I only read Sarah J Maas
Yes, I read them all and am an artist creating fan art.
No, I know only Game of Thrones.
Yes, I know which order of Knights Radiants I am. And will share in comments.
Yes, read everything, and I go to Dragonsteel convention every year.
