i like to imagine that before shallan and adolin met hesina and lirin, they thought kaladin was on the team™ with family issues. like. he is so traumatized and broken; of course he also has shitty parent(s)! just like them! until kaladin started lore-dropping bombs like "mom kept all of the drawings i made as a kid" or "father once stayed up all night to hold me because i was having nightmares" and they figured out that kaladin, in fact, NEVER was on the team. he is traumatized by numerous things, but cruel parents are not among them.

Kaladin: My father treats Rlain with more affection than me because I am not the man he expects me to be

Adolin: My father treats you with more affection than me because I am not the man he expects me to be

Renarin: Father didn't know my name years after I was born

Kaladin and Adolin: ...

Renarin: :)

Kaladin and Adolin: You win

This was my first ever stormlight au, "Tien Finds a Very Special Rock," or what I also affectionately call "Literally the Most Obvious AU for Szeth Stans Reading WoK." Originally I figured he'd take the oathstone from the belongings of a terminal patient, but I think it's important to me for the vibes of this au that Tien acquires it in the most innocent and innocuous way possible. It's currently an ongoing comic. Next. Archive.

Thank you @to-shards-you-say for the image ID's (seriously tysm, I really didn't feel like doing it), and @highly-invested for writing the death rattle, and @taravangians-storming-balls for spren reference materials. And thank you all for reading along, as I slowly figure out how to draw comics. <3

EDIT: There is a continuity error here. Kaladin implies interest in being a soldier, and yet his parents address him by his full name rather than as "Kal." This is intended to take place shortly before he commits to a life as a surgeon.

#NOTE: tags and commentary in light of me deciding to turn this into something ongoing #thanks for reading! challenge see if you can name all the spren without checking.#(i don't think you're guessing the green one. you checked. i know you did.)#points of note: 1) szeth was not following orders by taking his former master to hearthstone. he was fulfilling a last request.#2) the death rattle was written for a specific character. no i won't say who. i didn't write it.#3) an unknown man was just stabbed to death outside of town. kaladin is pretty justified in not wanting tien to talk to szeth.#way of kings #tien finds a very special rock au #this really is my oldest stormlight au. at least a decade old. don't recall exactly when i read wok but this was in my head while i did so.#szeth #tien #kaladin #lirin #hesina #and of course i'm tagging all of my super cool bandit oc's by name as well #sighhhhh #comics are really really difficult for me #i can draw and write dialog and pretty passably #but assembling panels.......GOD you have no idea how much of an ordeal that is....#when i was making that w&t szeth cooking comic my process was one that would give any real artist nightmares #i had all of the drawings and dialog just sitting in a canvas for weeks before i managed to make them into proper pages #for this one i tried outlining it and figuring out panel placement ahead of time #i think it helped with page layouts certainly....not great but definitely an improvement....#the whole process still took me a stupidly long amount of time though #drew that last image of szeth and tien together sort of in the middle of all this to take a break from it #tbh it's probably the most wholesome picture i've ever drawn.

Lirin rejoicing in Kaladin's return to Hearthstone calling him "his little boy" is precious to my inner child.

#oathbringer spoilers #I would have collapsed into tears #stormlight archive #lirin #kaladin stormblessed #cosmere

i really do love the way lirin and hesina are fighting to protect kaladin in the moments between when he arrives and reveals himself as a radiant, when everyone thinks he’s a runaway slave with a shash brand. like they love him so much, they don’t care what he’s done, they want him back no matter the cost, they’re his parents and they love him and they’re so happy he’s alive. they don’t care who he is now, they don’t care what he’s done. ughhhhh i love them

#the stormlight archive #lirin #hesina #kaladin #oathbringer #liveblog

Kaladin and Lirin have the most realistic parent-child relationship because Kaladin came home a fucking Knight Radiant and Lirin was just like “…so I guess you’re not becoming a doctor anymore 🤨” and Kaladin isn’t even surprised.

Could These Cosmere Characters Be Trusted with the Death Note?

The "Death Note" from, well, Death Note, is a book that, if you write a person's name in it, will cause that person's death. Now, could these Cosmere characters would be trusted with such power over life and death?

1. Kaladin: No

Having received an incredibly powerful item that can bring death, Kaladin would be like, "Oh, no thank you" and then he would literally give it to whoever happened to be standing next to him. And that's how Moash would end up with the Death Note.

2. Szeth: No

To be fair, Szeth would not use the Death Note for his own purposes. No, he would use it for the purposes of whoever happened to be in charge of him at that moment. And Szeth wouldn't just be writing people's names and waiting for them to die of a heart attack, no. He'd be writing incredibly elaborate death scenes involving, like, back flips and props and a lot of screaming. It's unclear why.

3. Kelsier: No

First, Kelsier sits down and carefully writes down every single noble's name from the list that OreSeur found for him. The rest of the book is him trying to find out what the Lord Ruler's name is. Don't get me wrong, I would read this, but Kelsier? With a Death Note? He'd have the Cosmere under his thumb in like a month.

4. Rock: Yes

Rock takes his "No fighting, no killing people" oaths incredibly seriously. Maybe he'd write down one name just like one time (Amaram. It was Amaram), but then he'd immediately give up the Death Note and accept his punishment.

5. Jasnah: No

Jasnah would be like, "I will only use this power to kill people who are demonstrably evil and whose deaths will make society better" and then she'd be cruising around back alleys looking for people to kill while Shallan starts to regret all of her life choices that led her to be there too.

6. Vivenna: No

Vivenna would be like, "I will only use this power to kill people who are demonstrably evil and whose deaths will make society better" and then Denth would be like, "You see that guy? He's demonstrably evil and his death would make society better" and Vivenna would be like, "Okay! Yay!"

7. Navani: No

I think the urge to experiment would be too much for Navani. Can the Death Note kill a Fused? A Herald? A Shard? She just...she really needs to know!

8. Lift: Yes

I actually think Lift would be able to resist the temptation. Like, maybe for a minute she'd contemplate whether she should write "Darkness" in there, but then she'd realize she doesn't actually know that dude's name and anyway maybe she should try talking to him instead.

9. Nale: No

I shudder to think of Nale with a Death Note. He'd just get a list of every Radiant and anybody in jail and just go to town. Even the shinigami would be like, "This guy nuts."

10. Wayne: No

Wayne would use the Death Note only one time (maybe to kill Telsin, let's be real), and then he would suffer from the worst guilt and shame for the rest of his life. So, while he wouldn't do anything terrible to the world or anything, he'd do terrible things to himself. Wayne doesn't deserve that.

11. Steris: No

Steris would, I think, just be unable to forget how useful of a tool the Death Note could be. Like, she wouldn't want to cause people's deaths. But she wouldn't be able to forget that it's a tool in her belt. And before you know it, she's gone mad with power. Maybe controversial, but I think Steris would go down a similar path as Light Yagami.

12. Vin: No

Vin would ultimately figure out that the Death Note was bad news, and then she would give it up. However, this was unfortunately only after cites were bathed in blood, so

13. Lirin: Yes

Lirin might be the best person in the Cosmere to have the Death Note. He'd put that thing away on a shelf and neither use it nor let anyone else have it. His shinigami is SO bored.

14. Raboniel: No

Raboniel sits down, carefully writes down her daughter's name, takes a moment to process that she finally ended her daughter's suffering, and then systematically writes down every Herald and every Radiant and wins the war in like twenty minutes.

15. Taravangian: No

To be fair, Taravangian would be exactly the sort of person who would make best (?) use of the Death Note--we're talking precision strikes, making careful use of pre-death actions, even (dare I say it?) taking a potato chip, and eating it! But holy hell would the rest of the Cosmere be fucked if Taravangian had a Death Note.
