Sometimes I think of the day when Hesina and Lirin sat down at the breakfast table with their two sons, and had no idea that by the time dinner came around, they would be alone.

[do-you-ship-this-book-couple]

Do you ship...

Kaladin, Adolin, & Shallan (The Stormlight Archive)

Yes, I ship them

I'm neutral about them

No, I don't ship them

In a fucked up way because it compels me

Not before but now I'm intrigued

Platonically

They're divorced

I don't know them

Hey. You. The American teenager inexplicably reading this. Don't join the US military. You're better than that. The military is a bunch of cops. Are they technically diverse and inclusive? On some level, kind of, almost. But their job is to kill people. They kill innocent people every day. They abuse their own members, especially their members who aren't white cis het middle class Christian men. The US exists through perpetual violence against the global working class, including its own working class. The military is how it carries out a large portion of that violence. You deserve better. You're better than that. Don't join.

I used to be you. Trust me when i say that. "It's just a job" is easy to say until you see drones take off loaded and land empty. "I need the money" is easy to say until you hear about the US betraying and abandoning her allies and you watch an empty lot in the desert fill with tanks that, until a few days ago, had been protecting the people you thought you signed up to protect. "I didn't have a choice" is a lie you tell yourself when you hear about an AC-130 crew destroying a hospital.

Have you directly supported combat aircraft that have killed people? Have you directly supported logistics aircraft that moved weapons and ammo and troops into combat zones? Have you heard about war crimes committed by the US and realized the war criminals and their tools were able to get where they did because you helped keep an airfield in operation? Have you seen armed white men supervise impoverished Indian and Filipino migrant workers building and maintaining infrastructure on behalf of the US government and Kuwaiti royal family like some sort of 21st century version of plantations in the Antebellum South? Have you seen a team of hurricane "first responders" treat the hurricane response duty like a vacation, drinking and partying every night while the people off the base are dying due to lack of electricity?

I have. I haven't seen combat, I'll admit that. But everything i just described, i saw in Kuwait in 2019 and Puerto Rico in 2017. I saw and experienced other things, too, things I'd rather not have seen.

You are morally superior to me. You are a better person than me. Don't do what i did. If you're so damn desperate to get killed by doing a government job, join a fire department. I would run into a burning building and relive those nightmares every single night before I'd spend another second in the USAF uniform. You can do better than me. Please do better than me. I'm not superstitious but the Devil is real and he collects souls at US military recruiting stations. Don't give him yours.

Watcher at the rim

uff… this one! This one felt like work! But I wanted to draw it for a long time now. Mainly I wanted to draw Hesina with that awespren around her head, but somehow just that didn’t feel impactful enough, so, storms, I needed a bit of the scene leading up to it. And if that means drawing half the population of Hearthstone! Now I am feeling a bit flat. Like a flounder.  *flops back to the nice and easy character designs*

when a centaur dies, the horse half obviously goes to hell, but the human half ascends to heaven, detached and missing its lower horse body, forced to go about the rest of its afterlife mourning the loss of something vile and profane, which is in a sense its own kind of hell

@nocturnalbrainwaves replied to your photo “Stormlight Archive - Character eye shape reference sheet Other than…”

I might be missing something dumb here but is it canon that Rosharans have epicanthic folds or is it just a widely accepted fan aesthetic? Either way I’m down with it but I can’t remember a specific reference to this in the books and seeing it everywhere is driving me nuts

Yes, it is canon. Brandon himself has said about this several times, though the following comment he once made on Reddit is the most reliable source:

Alethkar natives other than the Shin have the epicanthic fold, but the Alethi wouldn’t look strictly Asian to you–they’d look like a race that you can’t define, as we don’t have them on earth. I use half-Asian/half-arab or half-asian/half-Polynesian models as my guide some of the time, but Alethi are going to have a tanner skin than some of those.

Brandon also made this interesting comment in an interview:

One big reversal is when readers realize that most of the main characters probably don’t look like them. Most readers don’t make that connection for quite a while… I like the idea that as you read you assume that the offbeat Szeth is “the other” and Kaladin looks like you, when in reality Kaladin is an Asian-Middle Eastern mix, while Szeth is caucasian. Of course, if you read it in Taiwan, then the characters really look like you and Szeth is the oddball…

You can check my master post on 17th Shard forum for more Rosharan race references =)

okay so when Adolin manages to win a duel four against two (sorry Renarin) it's impressive enough for him to request the murder of the man that betrayed him and his father but when I, Kaladin Stormblessed-

Mistborn is my favorite book series but I’ve only drawn for it once and that’s unacceptable, so I drew Vin as a warmup drawing! Patreon
