In The Stormlight Archive the primary world religion, Vorinism, believes symmetry is divine. Women in this world are expected to arbitrarily cover their left hand as a modesty rule. This means that in a world where symmetry is viewed as divine, women, and only women, have a body that is by default viewed as asymmetrical

SO what do we think?

This cultural misogyny was written intentionally

This cultural misogyny was not written intentionally

This isn’t actually misogynistic

According to Words of Brandon… (explain in tags)

It’s a SETUP for something TOTALLY AMAZING he’s gonna do in arc 2 frfr

Remaining time: 2 days 13 hours

#I have some criticisms of how it has been handled over the course of the series #but the racism and sexism itself is so integral to vorin society #that I find it impossible for it to be accidental #even if he didn’t talk about it in wobs #especially the safehand

To add to my sentiment that “only one bed” is actually the standard in hotels in seemingly any circumstance. I just booked a trip with my parents specifically filling out 3 adults and the options suggested were still just one bed, “but really big”

#big chain and everything #it just seems to be standard in the city lol #meanwhile the ferry gave us 4 beds

The cool thing about death note is you could feasibly explain the basic premise of it like the mechanics of the note and also L and lights weird homoerotic shit and you would have a pretty good idea of what the entire plot is like without ever having to explain the terrifying floating clown monster

i love olruggio witchhat so much. he’s a sun-coded black cat. he’s a lethally chronic procrastinator. he’s a girl dad. he lies to the police. his magic is warm. his kids bully him and they’re right. he’s in a decade-long magically induced situationship, but he doesn’t know it’s cursed and he’s in it for love of the game. he’s lowkey a celebrity but chooses to live in a cottage on the countryside with said situationship and their four children. he sleeps on the couch. he was a crazy child. he’s a bit of a picky eater. he has chronic anemia and is two minutes away from passing out at all times. he hates hurting things so much that he struggles to kill a disgusting giant leech. he’s a burnt out gifted kid. he is begrudgingly excellent at one of his jobs and on-purposely atrocious at the other one. he has a baby face and is nearly unrecognizable without his beard. he carries an enormous, inexplicable guilt. he’s the sky’s kindest, most radiant star. he’s the perfect man

The 'Skyward' sci-fi Novel is getting a TV Series adaptation by Tomorrow Studios, author Brandon Sanderson, Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharo

ITS THE GODDAMN. MAURISSA TANCHAROEN. THE AGENTS OF SHIELD SHOWRUNNER. WRITING ABOUT KIDS FLYING PLANES AND FIGHTING ALIENS.

…scuuuuuuuud.

#I think I’ve even said it before here #but I think skyward may actually have the bigger potential to get big with general audiences #mostly because it’s sci fi #and sci fi gets way more support than fantasy #but it’s also a much smaller story that’s gonna easier to adapt

The library is straight up rage baiting by putting ”favorite classics” on the wall in the youth section so people can write theirs underneath

”Colleen Hoover” isn’t even a book it’s the author. Why is divergent written next to pride and prejudice???

#I’m not even bothered by people putting non classics on there #if you can argue for it #but those just sounds like they didn’t understand the question #at all #most examples are actual classics #but still #youth means 16-25 for context #these are not children

More Kaladin and Shallan as Calvin and Susie! Words of Radiance especially radiates (lol) this energy 😂

I based “Mr. Pattern” on the official Lightweaver spren plush!

one-time-i-dreamt

My family lived in a weird dystopian world and my brother kept breaking the laws so we pretended to kill him in order for him to not actually die except we didn’t tell our sister because she’s a bad liar so she just thought he was dead

read about Brandon Sanderson saying both steris and renarin were written as an attempt two to write a good autistic character cause he felt like he didn't do well with his first attempt

no shade to Brando, i absolutely adore steris and renarin and he definitely did great with them, but that being said after reading elantris i uh. i see why he tried again. elantris is up there with my faves but man. numbers boy.

my-words-are-light

Yeah, that’s pretty much it.
