Woahza i forgot ab tumblr

Stormlight Archive but instead of visions Dalinar just gets long google slide presentations from god

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

Dalinar hearing “unite them” and immediately assuming it’s a military objective instead of an emotional one is extremely on brand

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

Adolin Kholin owns so many swords because every time a man around him has an emotional breakdown he buys a blade instead of unpacking it like how i buy makeup and 3 cases of dr pepper when i have a breakdown

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

i just realized i’ve been posting all of these instead of putting them in my queue

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

Kaladin and Dalinar both going “I must take responsibility” but one of them means “for my squad” and the other means “for the fate of the world and also some genocides”.

"average fantasy protagonist owns 5 swords" factoid actually just statistical error. average fantasy protagonist owns 1 sword. Adolin Kholin, who owns dozens of swords & was gifted 47 more on his wedding day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

made me think of my own

“average bridgeman survives 0 bridge runs” factoid is actually just statistical error. average bridgeman survives 1 bridge run. kaladin stormblessed, who survives dozens of runs, unionizes his bridge crew, & invents workplace safety, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Waiting 10 heartbeats for my shardblade to summon (two bars of service lag) to protect my allies (opening my notes app to type the perfect comeback to an argument that hasn’t happened yet)

for some reason i was terrified that adolin and shallan were gonna break up. For a long time. And like crash and burn way. (i’m a theater nerd so i’m linking a song that i was terrified that it would sound like. like we find out adolin just sucks or something)

But also at first i thought we were gonna have something like chess in the love triangle sense (starts with one, huge flaming breakup and she goes with the other, totally in love but have to leave each other for reasons out of their control)

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

syl: you should live

kaladin: ok but consider. what if no

syl: stay right there one sec

syl: 🍃, and your friends need you to help them

kaladin: ok fine

[bred25753]

I thought this meant syl got high real quick

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

i am CRYING i just realized how you could’ve seen that after staring at it for 10 mins

[nooneinnportant]

Cosmere fans are insufferable bc you'll agree to read the books and 2000 pages and 3 books in they'll say "omg my favorite character is about to appear" and its a fucking random ass flute player.

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

stormlight is a very serious fantasy series about

kaladin: suicidal ideation

shallan: dissociation

dalinar: alcoholism + genocide

also there is a spren named pattern who goes “mmmm lies” or “ShaLLaN” (in the audiobook)

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

szeth-son-son-vallano, truthless of shinovar, wore white on the day he was probably/most likely one of the only people wearing white and looked very suspicious

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

rereading stormlight and realizing the shattered plains are a metaphor wjat

[suchas-dividing-by-zero]

i imagined pattern going mmmm sounded like yoda for so fucking long
