the narrative style of tress of the emerald sea has some implications and I’m not sure which one is funnier. because it’s either

a) sanderson is fully capable of writing evocative descriptions and using gorgeous prose but just. chooses not to do that

b) he physically cannot do it unless he gets possessed by a little freak

or

c) this book was literally written by hoid and sanderson had nothing to do with it

So your seize your moment and confess

And ok you're sad but it cant be that ba-

IT HASNT EVEN BEEN FIVE MINUTES SINCE YOU CONFESSED AND GOT REJECTED.

AND TO RUB SALT ON THE WOUND YOUR CRUSH AND THE GUY WHO STOLE HIM GOT MARRIED

Started a different playthrough (Bc I REFUSE to lose at Sandyland ILY Parker but I'm a sore loser) And talking to Hector I decided to try some of the different options to see the other images available.

So I see the option to probe about his writing.

And I THOUGHT it would be a playful joke option like teehee playful banter about his writing

AND THEN HE PULLED OUT THE BOOK-

Did I just spend like 10 hours making my Looks to the Moon plushie a sundress?

Yes. Yes absolutely.

I have never sewn doll clothing in my life, nor have I knitted in over a year. I did not do any measurements so it is very wonky, but it's ok she looks cute <3

In the morning I need to take some photos of her actually in the sun :D But for now... it is 1am. I need to sleep. Goodnight folks

love writing men as caretakers. not only because this is such a common role for women it feels exhausting sometimes to insist on it even in fiction, but also when it comes to incest, it feels very interesting.

because parents very often push this role to their children as the family grow. and then, it's not up to the mother, the usual caretaker, to fill this role, but the brother. it's when things start to get messy.

and there's another subvertion: not the older, but the younger being the caretaker. because eldest sons get so neglected once the new baby arrives. and they lose their primarily caretaker, their mother. so it's up to the younger brother to play this role. as the youngest gets all the attention, their attention returns to the older brother instead.

and it can also become such a good conflict in the family dynamic, because seeing it from the eldest child's eyes, they feel forsaken by their mother, but not by their brother, who actively and willingly chose to care for them, when it wasn't their duty to do so.
