DO NOT use any of my art in AI training. I am deeply disgusted and outraged to learn that my work has been used as free raw material without my knowledge or permission.

My art is not free data for you to play with. Whether you like my art or not, SHOW SOME RESPECT, STOP DONING THIS. THIS IS DISGUSTING.

Some Malazan guys, how I picture them in my head

I'm currently reading Elric and I can't help but compare Stormbringer to other sentient swords. The swords in question are Nightblood (Cosmere) and Dragnipur (Malazan).

For Nightblood: it's as if Shashara read Elric and decided to make a more decent sword, so she made Nightblood. As for Dragnipur, I think it's a more perfected, well thought-out and clearer version of Stormbringer. And of course both are more evil than Nightblood. If Nightblood encountered them, he'd want to kill them instantly.

And yes, now I imagine these three swords yelling at each other.

Would y’all still love me if this became a Anomander Rake thirst blog

Anomander Rake was interred in darkness. Weaponless, accompanied by no gifts, no wealth, no treasured possessions. His flesh was not treated against the ravages of decay. The blood and gore covering his face was not even washed away. None of these gestures belonged to the Tiste Andii, for whom the soul's departure leaves the flesh blind, insensate and indifferent.

Dying delivers one into the river of darkness, that passes into and out of the ruined city of Kharkanas, the womb long dead, long abandoned. Into the river, and the river must travel on, ever on.

Caladan Brood sealed the barrow, and upon the capstone of bleached dolomite he set a symbol, carved deep into the stone's face. An ancient Barghast glyph, its meaning precise and yet a thing of countless layers – although this is known only to those who in life come to face it directly.

A single Barghast glyph.

Which said Grief.
