Wind and Truth theory fact. Gavinor did not grow to hate Dalinar for the atrocities he had committed, but rather as a natural consequence of having to watch your grand-uncle tell your dad that he's banging your grandmother 10000 times back-to-back.

i think it’s also kinda implied that the highstorms have a huge effect on height/stature, bc the alethi, who live closest to the origin, have the tallest average height on roshar, while the shin, who are completely sheltered, have the shortest average height

I hadn't quite noticed just how tall Kaladin is supposed to be until it was mentioned here. I'm noticing it now that I'm looking for it in this read through. [Redacted] in The Sunlit Man is tall compared to the people on Canticle, but short compared to the Alethi. How fuckin tall is Kaladin? Is he a Chara sized 20 year old?

More importantly...is he taller than Rock? Rock is bulky and overall bigger, but IS HE TALLER?? I DO NOT KNOW!?

Does anyone have any tips for writing a cross-series Cosmere fanfic? I have some characters and a skeleton of a plot built up but I’m not sure where to go from here.

Never written fanfic before. Any tips?

Every time I info-dump about Brandon Sanderson I don’t think of it as ranting and more as introducing these poor people to our true Lord and Savior

Talking so my friend about Kaladin and she hasn’t read the books. And she says “I love Paladin with a K” and… huh.,,. I- there’re NO WAY that’s correct, right??? There’s NO. WAY.

Wind and Truth Spoilers (Maybe)

Yeah so I’m like… 90% sure Taravangian!Odium is going to elect like- some total innocent as his champion. I don’t remember he or Dalinar imposing any like… restrictions on who could be chosen as a champion. So like… while there’s a chance it’s a powerful Fused, I think a more surefire bet would be something akin to a Singer child. A sickly, frail Singer child. A blind sickly Singer child with no parents. Taravangian listened to Dalinar rant about “journey matching the destination” so many times. It’s uh! Yeah. I’m worried for our man.

Hey y'all, a while back I did the Strawhat Knights Radiant and I might do some more One Piece Radiants when I get the time!

I know I want to do Kobe, Garp, and Vivi, but what other One Piece Characters do y'all potentially wanna see?

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone has a refreshing and fulfilling 2025!

Starting off the year with Kaladin Stormblessed- I'm only in the middle of Day 5 for Wind and Truth, but I'm enjoying it immensely!

Have a great start to the new year y'all!!

Mistborn Era 2/Stormlight spoilers

Just gonna go out on a limb here, but I think the big bad organization Wax’s uncle is working with is preparing for some sort of Cosmic war thing. The things they are doing are utterly reprehensible and the only way I can fathom them doing it with a good conscience is believing it’s for the “greater good”. So with the knowledge that the government is… well, made of these men, and Harmony isn’t corrupt, the only thing big enough to make this make sense (obviously to a demented, immoral mind) would be an out-of-world threat like Odium or another Shard.

I imagine their justification is something like “You see what you did to that building, Wax? With these children we can selectively breed allomancers and feruchemists of whichever type we want, then combine their powers with Hemalurgy to create impossibly powerful soldiers. Imagine an army of 100 Miles Hundredlives! We’d be unstoppable.” With knowledge of hemalurgy and compounding and all that, I imagine they’d independently arrive at the concept of making another Lord Ruler, which like… would be extremely difficult to deal with for anyone we’ve seen in the Cosmere. But yeah, they’d feel they were doing the right thing, “making the hard choice for the greater good”

Then Wax would be all like “but the cost in lives is ridiculous! This is not worth it, man, can’t you see that?” Blahblahblah blah. This is a stretch, so I’d not be surprised if it’s something totally unrelated, but a lot of Rhythm of War is spent ranting about an impending God War, so it doesn’t seem unreasonable.

These are a bunch of random doodles from the sketchbook I recently completed! Fun times lol

Wayne does things that would send Shallan into doom spirals. He method acts for fun and Shallan would have crumpled like a house of cards beneath his rambles about accents and personality and “stealing voices”.

He no-diffs Shallan, not because he can manipulate time, but rather because she simply couldn’t keep up with his Spastic Man Swag™️

I hope this absolute lunatic woman who showed up with a 20 page contract about the terms of a prospective engagement with strict regulations about how much public lovey-dovey time they spend together becomes a main character. Please Sazed, I’m begging you. Work whatever powers those funny mists gave you to let her stick around. She’s insane and I need more.

okay, Rhythm of War: Complete. That book was awesome.

I’m really worried about Taravangian!Odium, but… well, it could end up fine, maybe. I think I’m gonna detour into Mistborn Era 2 now. I’ve been in the Stormlight Archives for a very long time, so a smaaaallll break to read a five book series is in order :P

Hope you guys stick around for that liveblog as well <3

oh!!! Eeee!!!! A Seon!!!!! Elantris reference oh my god!!!!!!

What if the Strawhats had a Knights Radiant order?? I tried assigning one to each order the best I could lol- what order would you assign them to?

Also bonus pics of some spren are included- I couldn't decide which version of the Sunny to do, so I did both!

Thank you so much @meeyahmaya for the brainstorming and ideas too!

Okay so this is Pain Book: The Book That Makes You Feel Pain

“I am death itself, Defeated One, and I have finally caught up to you.”

Kaladin the MAN that you are. You are so angsty in the best possible way. You make me feel like a middle school girl obsessed with Sasuke and I am NOT ASHAMED

OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT I SHOULD HAVE CALLED THAT OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD

I’m on early Rhythm of War, no one spoil future stuff!!!

I’m genuinely baffled what the hell Shallan is suppressing that could possibly be worse than what she already remembers. Like. What. What the fuck. How.

No seriously Shallan chill the fuck out what the fuck. You’re becoming self-indulgently self-hating, gah, Shallan

P…. Pattern… I don’t think I can handle this. What the fuck.

Ah!!! So neat. Brando Sando has such an excellent grasp on the ability convey character through dialogue. The ink spren talk in definites. “It is.” “This was.” “They are.” Most sentences are structured around a being verb of some kind.

This conveys their nature as beings of logic and fact… so easily?? He doesn’t need to go on and elaborate it, it’s just naturally conveyed!!!

…

Looks around

Navani and Raboniel should ki- well… hm… they should hold each other and be very close but I like Dalinar and Navani too much.

If Raboniel isn’t lying about her motives it’ll be the biggest plot twist in the entire series

Stormlight Archives Spoilers

Eshonai would have been an amazing Bondsmith, what the fuck. We missed out so badly with her it’s genuinely making me sad.

In the voice of the JJK Narrator

They were all defeated, except - of course - Kaladin Stormblessed.

P…. Pattern… I don’t think I can handle this. What the fuck.
