Stormlight Characters! Shallan and Jasnah are dating! How do you react?

We’ve already imagined reactions to Shallan/Kaladin and Kaladin/Adolin. Let’s continue the series (?) by considering how people might react if Shallan started dating Jasnah!

Adolin: Is it odd for me to lose Shallan to the person who arranged my engagement to Shallan in the first place?

Adolin: Yes, a little!

Adolin: But, I mean, it’s Jasnah. Who can blame her, really?

Navani: That engagement was originally intended as a way to bind Shallan to the Kholin house.

Navani: Ah, Jasnah. Always deciding to just do things herself. 

Balat: And to think this all started because we sent you to steal that Soulcaster, Small One.

Wikim: Love is a strange thing!

Jushu (muttering): Especially in our family. 

Veil: I-I was kidding about only liking dumb women, of course! I am thrilled and not at all intimidated!

Radiant: As someone vaguely modeled after Jasnah, I feel very happy for Shallan!

Radiant: What was once but a splinter personality with slighter larger boobs is now Shallan’s reality! 

Dalinar: I remember when Shallan suggested that Jasnah be made queen.

Dalinar: And now Shallan is dating the queen.

Dalinar: I won’t dwell on it. 

Kabsal: Wow. So, I REALLY read that situation wrong!

Amaram: OHHHH... so THAT’S why Jasnah was never interested in me!

Amaram: I am so happy it was just that and no other reason!

Amaram: Why is everyone looking at me like that?!

Elhokar: Shallan was very brave during the mission to Kholinar, and she’s a Lightweaver just like I almost was!

Elhokar: I bet she’s WAY more trustworthy than my wife was! 

Ivory: Surprise is.

Ivory: Jasnah is logical. Shallan is...not.

Pattern: Mmmm...humans say opposites attract.

Pattern: But by that, they mean people with a notable differences in personalities and not things that are actually opposites at all!

Pattern: Mmm...delicious human lies...

Ivory: ...

Ivory: Jasnah’s partners...why must they always be Lightweavers?

Hoid: Of course, as an immortal, I am used to my relationships having expiration dates!

Hoid: So I am totally fine with Jasnah leaving me for Shallan!

Design: More depression noodles?

Hoid: YES PLEASE

The Davar Household – Lin, Malise, Helaran, Balat, Jushu, Wikim and Shallan

Since there are some scenes from Shallan’s past in Word of Radiance we are back at the character design. Woohooo! They are the depressed Weasleys. I always had a hard time picturing Shallan’s brothers and keep them visually separated in my mind while reading. But not any longer. Capes apparently became a thing in Veden fashion, while I was sketching the clothes. Or have they always been...? ( I definitely got inspired by the already existing art on the Coppermind. ) It is interesting to get it to be distinct from Alethi and Thaylen trends, getting inspiration from both neighboring countries, but still doing its own thing.

I was thinking about Shallan and her brothers. Shallan who when Heleran told her to stay strong and look her for their other brothers and draw again and avoid thinking about what happened. Shallan who tried to keep their spirits up and make them laugh. Shallan who set up Balat with Eylita going into a bloodsport den at a fair to give him a letter of hers. How she gave Wikim the maths problems and he gave her the blackbane, which she didn't get rid off. How she improves all of Balat's escape plans. How she bailed out Jushu from being imprsioned for debt. How she killed both of their parents. How when the poison didn't do the job she strangled him. How the plan to steal and replace the soulcaster was hers. How she travelled across the wrold with all their hopes pinned on her and they stalled. How Mraize got them out of Jah Keved cos they were her brothers, how they have comfortable way of living because they're the highprincess's brothers. She saved them all and herself when surving horror. Balat even expresses guilt once for Shallan looks out for them and they not her, when they're her older brothers.

Valor de la profundidad durante el Salat (o Jushú')

Al-lâh ha dicho: " Establece el Salat en mi Memoria", y también: "No seáis de los que olvidan", y también: "No os acerquéis al Salat estando ebrios, sino esperad a saber lo que decís"... Se ha dicho que "ebrios" significa aquí "aturdidos por las preocupaciones".

Habibullah (s.a.s.) dijo:

"Quien haga dos Rak'as sin pensar durante ellas en nada del mundo, a ése se le disculpan todos sus Dzunub anteriores". Y dijo: "El Salat es calma, humildad, concentración, lamento, retorno a Al-lâh, y que al final extiendas las manos y digas Al-lâhumma, Al-lâhumma; si no, tan sólo es algo inacabado".

Se ha contado que en los Libros Antiguos Al-lâh ha dicho: "No acepto cualquier Salat, sino sólo aquél que va acompañado de pequeñez ante mi Inmensidad, aquél en el que no hay arrogancia y lo hace quien alimenta al hambriento por amor hacia mí".

Rasulullah (s.a.s.) dijo:

"Sólo ha sido prescrito el Salat, y ha sido ordenado el Hayy y las circunvalaciones (alrededor de la Kaaba), no se han erigido los estandartes más que para establecer entre los hombres el Dzikr de Al-lâh, para que Al-lâh sea recordado; si en tu corazón no está la presencia del Recordado, que es el objeto de la 'Ibada, si en él no hay temor ante la contemplación de la Grandeza, ¿qué valor tiene tu Dzikr?".

Y también dijo: "Cuando hagas el Salat, hazlo como si estuvieras a punto de morir y te despidieras del mundo"... es decir, cuando empieces el Salat, despídete de todo e incluso de tí mismo, recordando las palabras de Al-lâh: "Oh ser humano, hacia tu Señor te diriges y con Él te encontrarás".

Bakr ibn 'Abdullah dijo: "Si quieres entrar a donde está tu Dueño y hablar con Él sin necesidad de traductor, puedes hacerlo. Haz bien el Wudú, y entra en tu Mihrab, y he aquí que has entrado a donde está tu Señor, sin haber pedido permiso a nadie, y he aquí que te diriges a Él sin intermediario".

'Aisha, la esposa de Rasulullah (s.a.s.) dijo: "Rasulullah (s.a.s.) nos hablaba y le hablábamos, pero cuando llegaba el momento del Salat era como si no nos conociera ni nosotros lo conociéramos"... y era porque estaban completamente dedicados a la contemplación de la Grandeza de Al-lâh.

Y Habibullah (s.a.s.) dijo:

"Al-lâh no mira al Salat del hombre que no une su corazón al cuerpo".

En cierta ocasión, el Nabí (s.a.s.) vio a un hombre que, haciendo el Salat, se mecía la barba y dijo: "Si su Salat fuera profundo, su cuerpo estaría en calma". Cuando llegaba el momento del Salat, el Imam 'Ali temblaba y palidecía; al preguntársele por ello, contestó: "Éste es el instante de algo extraordinario que Al-lâh ha confiado a los hombres después de habérselo propuesto a los cielos, a la Tierra y a las montañas, que lo rechazaron por verse incapaces para cumplir con esa confianza, pero el hombre quiso asumirla". Su nieto, 'Ali ibn al-Husain, también palidecía durante el Wudu, y lo explicó diciendo: "¿Es que no sabéis ante Quién voy a ponerme de pié?".
