Me: Haha, put out the dun spheres

Her: What

I hope you believe that you can still make a beautiful life for yourself even if you lost many years of it to grief, or darkness, depression, or a wound that wouldn't close.

A Way Out  // SPOILER for Rhythm of War 

Ha! It is. A thing. When I tried to continue my draw-along / re-read through of RoW one and a half years ago, I got stuck on this scene because the dialogue was too long for a comic fitting on social media, so i decided to try some kind of video animatic thingy and and behold! It finally is.  

It took a few tries and in the end it was 74 images I mashed together in Adobe Premiere.

It even has sound! Many great thanks to Thom Isaacs who was so kind to let me use his track Duration Erosion as background ambience for this dark scene. He recorded this music in an underground oil tank with some of the longest reverb inside a man made structure. It’s really cool! Definitely check his work out!

The track matched what I was going for so well that I am really happy that it now accompanies the images.

What is next!? Less dark stuff? Perhaps. We’ll see…

kaladin and szeth do have a few things in common. for one thing they are both people who, when asked what their "body count" is, would start listing people they've killed

[melodywritesstuff]

You have to start noticing things. The direction of the rays of sunshine, how it touches and warms your skin; the sway of a leaf in a mild breeze; the simple beauty of the flowers; the strong smell of your morning coffee; the wind in your hair and on your face; the liveliness of the city; the calm of your soul. You have to start noticing this and start living for it.

sometimes i sit and wonder what holland's smile (his real smile, not the twisted thing that remained after the danes broke him) looked like. was it a small quirking of the lip and dimple in the corner, gone as soon as it was there? or was it self-conscious and toothy, reserved for only those who truly meant a lot to it? did talya and vor cherish the rare sight of it, much as rhy did with kell's? did they understand how lucky they were? did vortalis ever realise that he would be the last person to see it?

Chai tea bag + lil but of brown sugar + apple cider packet + 16 oz. mug of hot but not quite boiling water

best trope is the one where the character’s godlike power is also killing them btw. they don’t even lift a hand to kill the monster but now they’re delirious with fever. they save a friend’s life and said friend immediately finds them emergency medical care. they raze the enemy to nothing and it takes far too long to find their pulse with all the bruising. their friends just constantly having to patch them up and worrying over which feat will be their last. et cetera

oh my god there are so many books to read and instruments to learn and languages to speak and poems to write and oranges to eat and ideologies to study and songs to sing and films to watch and people to kiss and
