I'm really enjoying the dynamic between Kal and Szeth so far in WAT of basically improv therapy

Kaladin *wishing he was better at making soup* : ya know Szeth I think your problem is that you don't believe you deserve nice things

Szeth: first of all I don't deserve nice things. Second of all did I Fucking ask?!

Nightblood: can swords deserve nice things?

For the ship/kiss game

Cord/Rysn, number 29

For the kissing ask game, which you can find here.

Cord/Rysn, rated Mature, 300 words

"I'm going to be fine!" Rysn exclaimed in Veden, watching as her partner paced before her.

A year of training in Shardplate had bulked up Cord's already impressive physique, and now those solidly built shoulders of muscle were tense with stress. "You don't know this thing!"

Exhaling out of her nose, Rysn fought down her frustration, her anger, and focused on her training. "Cord, dearest, I've been on expeditions before. You may remember, you were there for one."

"Yes, and on her, you were nearly being killed," Cord replied flatly.

"Yet, here I sit." She tapped the bench in her office. "Cord, I cannot hide in here again, just because you'll be busy at Urithiru for a few weeks. I won't. And I won't have you treating me like I am some sort of fragile plaything." She hoped her tone conveyed both the steel with which she made such a pronouncement, and the warmth she felt from seeing just how worried Cord was.

The Unkalaki woman strode over, kneeling before Rysn so they could see eye to eye. "I did not mean... I know, you are strong." A toothy smile slowly spreading over her copper cheeks, Cord continued, "Perhaps, I am the only one who knows just how strong."

"Then trust me, please. I promise, I'll be careful. I'll come back to you." Reaching out a hand, Rysn cupped her lover's cheek, running a thumb against the bridge of her nose, the swell of her lips.

"Swear it, then."

"I swear it."

"On the mafah'liki."

"I swear on the spren, on your gods."

"On the Passions."

"I swear on the Passions." Rysn had to fight a giggle. She didn't even believe in the Passions!

"On..." Cord considered, then beamed with satisfaction. "...on our love! With a kiss!"

Someone is just fishing for kisses, Rysn thought, but she had no rancor behind the idea. Leaning in, she let one hand snake around to the back of Cord's head, gripping a handful of her gorgeous red hair, and kissed her, firm and hard. There was no resistence, Cord melted against her, and did not object to how long Rysn was making this particular promise.

Finally, she did come up for air, and said aloud, "i swear on our love."

Cord had no more objections after that.

Nale breaking down into ugly tears over the worst song he’s ever heard from Kaladin Stormface is perhaps the funniest thing of all time when you realize Kaladins backup plan was either to die, or make that fuckass crawfish boil

Grown ass man btw

My boyfriend @aborigonalguppyrabits and I were discussing cosmere reading order and decided that it was best expressed as a flow chart. The project got a little out of hand. Obviously there’s no right way to read the books, but we thought we’d offer our solution.

 A Perfect Moment sketch 💙

[littlebirdmavis-blog]

Anyone else loved Kaladins time in Shinovar? I really enjoyed how we got some casual scenes with the three of them without all the drama Sanderson usually gives us. Gave me plenty of stuff to draw.

If only I could paint it all ...

This scene was so cute! I had to switch to the audiobook, so I could draw them.

“I’m sorry, Kal,” Moash said, stepping forward. “I should have made it quick at the start.”

The Words, Kaladin. That was Syl’s voice. You have to speak the Words!

I FORBID THIS.

YOUR WILL MATTERS NOT! Syl shouted. YOU CANNOT HOLD ME BACK IF HE SPEAKS THE WORDS! THE WORDS, KALADIN! SAY THEM!

“I will protect even those I hate,” Kaladin whispered through bloody lips. “So long as it is right.”

A Shardblade appeared in Moash’s hands.

A distant rumbling. Thunder.

THE WORDS ARE ACCEPTED, the Stormfather said reluctantly.

Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance
