#Cosmere crossover

[tygertyger137]

Makes me sad that all the deaths and the large time frame that the Cosmere takes place on prevents a proper crossover.

If Dalinar had known Tindwyl all of Oathbringer would be 2 chapters bc the coalition of monarchs would have no choice but to listen to her

Imagine Mistborn and Windrunners flying around, showing the other the intricacies of how their flight works

Adolin, Elend, and Raoden would be the triumvirate of Good Boys while their slightly insane wives could get together and have tea or smthn

Lightsong and Wayne will never get to compete for title of Most Insufferable

Imagine Hrathen learning of the shards and varying religions of the Cosmere and having another crisis of faith

Imagine introducing Scadrians and Rosharans to Nalthis, a place that has Good Plants and Nature

Steris and Renarin bond over being autistic in a world that is hard to navigate even when you’re neurotypical

Combining fabrials and allomancy to give Mistborn a new type of flight

Syl being drawn to Vin for how similar she is to Kal (read: grumbly with a severe case of rbf)

Vin showing off her koloss sword to shardbearers

Rosharans seeing aviar and losing their minds over the variety of chickens

Rosharans seeing any animal that isn’t a crab or slug and losing their minds

Happy Chinese New Year 2024!

It comes a little bit late, but I did finish it! It's the year of the dragon 🐲, so let's do a crossover between Emperor's Soul and Nightmare Painter: Behold Shai and Nikaro performing a grand dragon calligraphy for the new year!

I'm curious after seeing the ask about adding a Mistborn character to Animorphs, what if it was the other way around?

Which other property do you think the Animorphs would be most interesting or effective in, if they got inserted into that setting/universe? How would they change things?

What comes to mind for Animorphs in the Cosmere is going back to the original premise of Final Empire, where every member of the crew is a different type of Misting. So with that in mind...

Jake: Augur, or gold-burner. He's constantly looking to his own past, obsessive about revisiting mistakes and trying to learn from every single success or failure. Plus, it's the kind of ability that — much like Jake's strengths — would go unnoticed in most people for their entire lives. I love the detail that gold is the only metal stated to be toxic, because heaven knows that the past will rot you from the inside out if you don't figure out how to excise it fast enough.

Rachel: Pewterarm, or pewter-burner. Because her greatest strength isn't her raw power, but rather her ability to take a hit and yet keep going. She's scared but chooses not to flinch, injured but chooses not to be hurt, and worried but chooses to be bold. Not only that, but pewter's the only metal (that we know of) that addicts the user — it's basically a fantasy amphetamine. Rachel knows that she's accruing an ever-greater cost when the battle winds down, but it's a hit she's willing to take.

Tobias: Tineye. Duh.

Cassie: Seeker, or bronze-burner. I would argue that her greatest strength is not so much changing others' emotions (e.g. Soothing, Rioting) as it is understanding what those emotions are. Yes, she can manipulate people when pushed to do so — but her greatest strength is discernment, or being able to glean an understanding of others' abilities and motivations through careful observation.

Marco: Seer, or atium-burner. He sees the bright clear line between the present and the future, and he can chart other people's minds but will never understand the little details that make all the difference. His ability would also go undiscovered if not for a specific set of circumstances, and if he hadn't Snapped then he'd still be that soft gentle kid today.

Ax: Slider, or bendalloy-burner. Ax's greatest advantage is his speed, not just at tail-fighting but also at calculation and hacking and picking up new skills. His greatest weakness is his tendency to get paralyzed if forced to make decisions on his own, especially with limited time. Ax can do anything, if just given a second's pause to think.

Adolin: What is this feeling so sudden and new

Kaladin: I felt the moment I laid eyes on you

I just realized that Din Djarin in the Cosmere would be such a good idea for a fic. In Star Wars people who travel (especially alone) to other planets and systems are basically worldhoppers, because most people in Star Wars spend their entire lives in one place. I think it’d be super easy for Mando to go through a wormhole or something and pop out near Roshar. I like to think that he’d immediately attract a spren (honor spren for the sake of my personal fantasy but also I feel like high spren would be a good fit) and a good writer could do a great job of following his journey. Din and Kaladin could be enemies to lovers! Shallan could interact with Grogu and somehow they could bond and communicate about their trauma!

I need someone to write this because I couldn’t do the emotional/personal journeys the justice they deserve!

Straw Hat Pirates as Radiants

I made a presentation about this for power point party on our OnePiece server, and now thanks to seeing @art-in-progressosoup 's post I've been inspired to share it here as well. Please enjoy my take on which Radiant orders I think each of the Straw Hats would be part of and why.

The most obvious one of the lot: Luffy is the Willshaper. His character motivations are entirely built around freedom, and he literally fights oppressive governments at a whim. Not much to say about it really, so moving on.

Zoro is very clearly a Stoneward; his most important character trait is his immense loyalty to Luffy and his crew. He often takes a protector role for the weaker members of the crew, is very firm on his values and ideals, and he's the most competitive one regarding fighting prowess (he literally wants a sports title, essentially).

No, her mirage skill is not the only reason why Nami is a Lightweaver. She's a thief, a con artist; lies are her bread and butter, or they used to be at least, and her relationship to lies and deceit are important to her character arc. The scene at Arlong Park where she finally asks Luffy for help, that's a Truth she spoke! Also, her map making is absolutely artistry and probably needs eidetic memory, so she's got those aspects covered as well.

I considered Lightweaver for Usopp as well since he's a storyteller, but ultimately I feel Elsecaller is a better fit—his dream is literally to reach his highest possible potential by becoming a brave warrior of the sea. His dream can only be reached when he believes it is reached, which pushes him so much further than where most people would set the bar for "brave warrior of the sea", but Usopp has more potential, so he's still going. He's also incredible at encouraging others and tactics, so there's that.

Sanji is a Windrunner, even if current canon Sanji is a terrible one. While Sanji absolutely has the protective urges of a Windrunner, they tend to only apply to women, so I doubt current canon Sanji would make it past the second Ideal. Which is actually why I'd really love a Windrunner arc for him; it'd give him the character development that'd finally make him the amazing character he could be.

This is one of the few picks that has to do with the powers the Radiant order would grant; as a doctor, Chopper is clearly an Edgedancer. He very much keeps the regular people of the world in mind with a desire to help them, which fits wonderfully.

Robin is the most obvious one besides Luffy—she's a quintessential Truthwatcher. Her goal to find the true history of the void century, her scholarly nature, it all just screams Truthwatcher.

Another one I consider fairly obvious; Franky is a Dustbringer. He's a tinkerer, takes things apart to build something new out of the pieces, and he's a literal walking artillery tank. Add to that the thematic aspect of responsibility with the plans for the ancient weapon that he protected for years, then destroyed them at the risk of his own life before allowing the World Government to get them—that's a Dustbringer if I've ever seen one.

Now, I will say that I might've changed my mind about Brook since I initially made this presentation, but I'll share my initial pick first, which is Lightweaver. The reasoning for it is honestly fairly simple; he's an artist. As a musician, he fits the Lightweaver bill just as well as Usopp would as a storyteller or as Nami does as a map maker. Some of his powers also include creating illusions, which was a nice bonus. However, my eyes have recently been opened to the idea of Edgedancer Brook, and I might update this post at some point to add that.

Before you start yelling at me that he's a pirate, just hear me out, okay? Yes, Jimbei is a pirate, yes, he clearly doesn't follow the law—at least not the law of the World Government—but that doesn't mean he can't be a Skybreaker. (We'll ignore that he was a Warlord cause that's not actually my argument for him being a Skybreaker, but he also was a Warlord, which legitimised his actions for years under the law. Anyway.) But he does follow a code, in a way; he follows Luffy. Much like a certain Stormlight character, he chose a person to follow as his code, and he follows it without question. He's a Skybreaker in their best form, a Skybreaker with firm morals who recognises the faults of official codes of law and found other, better codes to honour.

Vivi is a Straw Hat, fight me—and she's a Bondsmith. Now, Bondsmiths as an order are a bit irregular insofar that they're always at least partially circumstantial. Every Bondsmith we know in Stormlight canon becomes one out of necessity, it's always tied to the situation demanding someone to take up that mantle. And that is exactly what Vivi does in Alabasta. There's probably an order that'd fit her equally well if not better personality/character wise, but her choices are what make her a Bondsmith; she chooses to fight for unity and peace for her people, she chooses to take action politically within the World Government and is working to forge more unity there as well. She is Luffy's counterpart, building new, better structures where he tears down the old corrupt ones.

And here we are, the Straw Hats as Knights Radiant!

(I do have a bunch of other One Piece characters sorted into Radiant orders, but I don't have nice little slides for them, so I might add them later if I ever make those.)

The interludes this time round are wild you’re telling me we’re back at the shoemakers house with his granddaughter and her mum bonded his spren and demoux and his guys have rocked up there and been given a letter from wit that was just a badly drawn dick and then as they’re leaving the whole of Iri starts to evacuate the planet via perpendicularities created by one of the spren axies the collector was searching for one time???

Kelsier the Survivor of Hathsin is what TGS Jekyll and Hyde would be like if Hyde had been the original personality who just had Jekyll-ish tendencies instead of the other way around and if they had never split, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Bad news: I’m not able to make it to Salt Lake FanX this year. Worse news: I damaged my rotator cuff and can’t draw until I heal 🫠

But good news: I have a SALE happening! I can’t go to the con, so I’ll bring the con here! From now through Oct. 6, everything in my shop is 20% off! (Except for small stickers)

https://imaginativejoy.etsy.com

So what’s available? Basically everything I would’ve brought to FanX: Prints, original art, buttons, stickers, keychains, bookmarks, and my Kingdom Hearts 20th anniversary zine!

Also, this is my formal announcement of my upcoming Merrical mini-zine! It’s a small booklet full of my Fallen Order and Survivor sketches! I should be getting the zines soon, and then I’ll add them to the shop. I was counting on them arriving in time for this sale, but they’re taking a little longer than expected. So once I get them, I’ll most likely extend the sale to make things fair for everyone!

Thank you all for you continued support! Also, if there’s ever anything you see on my tumblr that you’d like as a print, let me know and I can add it to the shop!

[razielim]

Anyway, new new cope is Lotor falls out of the quintessence field into Roshar* where everyone always has the most important step a man can take: the next one.

There is no quintessence in the cosmere, but Lotor starts researching investiture. He's not exactly ethical about it to begin with. No, he's not at all ethical about it to begin with.

But slowly, cut off from all Galra and Alteans, free to just be, he starts to face** his issues, as painful*** as it is.

Appendix A:

*His Galra height, high likelihood of saying "X or death" in any given situation, skill with a sword, and Altean shapeshifting allow him to seamlessly integrate into Alethi society in almost all ways.

**Due to his particular trauma, exposure to quintessence in utero, he essentially ends up with the equivalent of a soul matrix compatible with investiture. Unlike other Radiants, Lotor has trouble refraining from drawing in Light but holds it for longer, again due to his fucked up relationship with quintessence.

***He is a Lightweaver and must speak truths to progress. Including acknowledging that he'd always known Haggar was his biological mother.

Some RWBY/Cosmere crossover thoughts.

Nomad/Zellion as the main crossover character is an idea I'm more and more in favor of. Especially if he's interacting with Ironwood in v7/8. Ironwood really needs to get smacked upside the head with "Journey Before Destination".

Wind and Truth spoilers under the Readmore

Also, the idea of Ruby somehow getting sucked into the Heralds therapy vision instead of the Tree popped into my head. Partly because she could end up telling Sigzil "oh hey, I saw Kaladin, he's a Herald now, not really sure what that means" and just give him a massive bluescreen of confusion. Though, thematically/cosmereologically, it would make more sense if she meets Sazed in place of the Blacksmith/Tree, since IMO the Brothers work best as Ruin And Preservation.
