words cannot express exactly how much that last sentence means to me

One of the things I love about Mistborn is that Ruin isn’t inherently evil, he’s just a guy, who’s also a force of nature. And the protagonists don’t beat him by being inherently good; they beat him by targeting the *guy* instead of the darkness and explosions and whatever else. Ati is barely even a person by then, thoroughly possessed and 2000 years imprisoned, but they still manage to find that one weakness, his one insecurity that has made Ruin’s understanding of humanity incomplete, and exploit the hell out of it.

Of course Ati doesn’t understand trust. His entire self was destroyed by a power he chose to accept, and not too long thereafter, his co-parent and (presumably) close friend betrays him out of nowhere, and imprisons him completely alone. Ruin isn’t fundamentally stupid when it comes to good people… he just can’t bring Ati to believe that Elend would let Vin go, days before the end of the world, without her explaining what she was going to do.

(Also. Ati. Absolute cinnamon roll. So excited to LOVE this guy in Dragonsteel in 40 years. What kind of powerhouse-level sweetheart is hit with the full entire force of God’s smiting obsession, has most of their personality and soul wiped away, and undergoes an awful betrayal like that… and still, after all that, can make the Force of Primordial Destruction learn thermodynamics?)

I will not be doing it this year (and to be honest probably not ever) BUT. I must acknowledge the inherent awesomeness of going to the worldhopper ball dressed up as the theme planet's resident shard. Imagine you're at a Scadrian party and you just see God in the corner. Like it's okay he's chill apparently but seriously what the fuck

[that-androgynous-lightweaver]

can't do this shit anymore

What lerati deserved

[that-androgynous-lightweaver]

Ati: It's Pride Month, love, you know what that means.

Leras: (muttering) Huh. What. Do you want me to, like, betray you gayly?

Ati: ...Sorry, what was that? 🌞
