“You must be exhausted,” said Lady Cattilara, whose eyes had widened more than once during Liss’s account. “Such a frightening ordeal!” “Oh, but I love my task,” said Liss cheerfully, slapping her dirty tabard. “People give me fast horses and get out of my way.”

If this is my last doodle of 2024, let it be a quick doodle of Liss Strale: my beloved misguided son. 🥺

False Skies is retroactively my GOTY 2022. 😆

What your preferred Jasnah ships say about you

[Spoilers for Stormlight Archives through the KWOT preview chapters!]

Inspired in part by @moash's poll, let's consider people you might ship Jasnah with and what that says about you. It's all very scientific, I assure you. [Previously: Kaladin ships, Navani ships; also Moash ships by @cosmereplay]

Jasnah x Shallan You first developed your crush on Jasnah after seeing her described through Shallan's eyes, and now you feel like, if they could just kiss, well, it would be kinda like you're kissing Jasnah, right?

Jasnah x Wit That preview chapter made you feel a certain kind of way, huh? Either you're in it for the interesting and not-entirely-healthy dynamic, in which case you're pretty pleased, or you sincerely thought they were cute, in which case you're very worried.

Jasnah x Khriss You agree with Sanderson that Jasnah should date an ancient, incredibly knowledgeable, magic-obsessed World Hopper, but you disagree hardcore on the "heteroromantic" thing.

Jasnah x Kaladin You're cool with Jasnah being heteroromantic, but you'd prefer that she date someone else ace, so that they can connect more on an emotional level. But first, your fic needs to get Jasnah and Kaladin to see eye-to-eye...

Jasnah x Azure Smart sword ladies, yeah? A+, no notes.

Jasnah x Amarem Dude...why? Wait--I'm assuming Amarem is into Jasnah, like, walking over his naked back in very painful stilettos and Jasnah just wants to see how much torture she can get him to agree to, right? I dunno, man. Still messed up.

Jasnah x Lyn Yes, I've seen the theories that Lyn broke up with Kaladin for Jasnah and I agree, that would be hilarious.

Jasnah x Liss (the assassin she had on retainer) "They both like to hunt people down & kill them in cold blood!" you giggle, kicking your feet and doodling hearts around their names.

Jasnah x Aesudan "Hiring an assassin to spy on and/or potentially kill a woman is basically foreplay," you, a veteran of the Hannibal fandom, explain.

Jasnah x No one You don't need Jasnah to be shipped with anyone, thank you very much! You'd like to see her just be independent and awesome, and you cannot wait for her breakup arc.
