#Oathbringer

[uragoombaactual]

Time for some daily Stormlight motivation:

"The most important step a man can take. It's not the first one, is it? It's the next one. Always the next step, Dalinar." ― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer

[sunshinemayhem]

"we can win this" huge monstrous horror cracks the ground and rises from it

"i'm too hard on myself" "yes, you are" "that's a bad flaw" "honey, no"

I think Rhythm of War is my favorite Stormlight book but man. Oathbringer has so may moments that just stick with me.

Moments that live rent free in my brain, in no particular order:

Veil basically being like "yes I would like to buy an alcohol" and then chugging horneater white. then when someone puts a hand on hers she stabs them through both their hands

"he's learning to read? isn't that kinda... feminine?" "Drehy you are literally courting another man" "and? what does that have to do with it" "yeah don't be homophobic Kal ://"

Kaladin being unable to think about sex without imagining Syl giving him pointers and being so disturbed by it that when someone asks what's wrong he passes it off as reliving a traumatic memory

no mating!!!

"what'd you do, punch a lighteyes?" "yes" *punches the brightlord*

Shallan doing the family guy death pose and flashing everyone for science

Shallan getting stabbed through the chest and Kaladin frantically trying to tear her shirt off without thinking to see where the blood was coming from because he forgot about tits existing

Adolin managing to acquire a nice outfit in Shadesmar and Kaladin's complete bafflement

Dalinar: Adolin, I am putting you in charge of finding who killed that guy. Adolin, who killed that guy: what

Shallan: another murder done exactly the same way! the murderer must've struck again! Adolin, who did not kill this one: what

Lift just appearing in visions when Dalinar tried to talk to Yanagawn and talking about his butt

the Assassin in White joining the final battle and everyone just going okay this might as well happen. everything about this is already so damn weird

Dalinar's solution to EVERYTHING being challenge someone to a fight. this is how everyone communicates they engage in combat. what better strategy could there be than making it clear to someone that I could destroy them by force at any time it worked great on my nephew

young Dalinar walking out into the highstorm to get his knife, stabbing an assassin with it, then rinsing it off in his wine and using it to cut his meat

"stormfather!" "what?" "that was a curse"

the stormlight brainrot is getting to me

"Ah, of course, he's probably their leader now or something" - Adolin, when Kaladin shows up unannounced one morning with an army of 500-600 soldiers.

You can't ask Kaladin to infiltrate anything without him catapulting himself into a leadership role within days.

The Way of Kings

while i was speedruning through stormlight archive for the first time all of this nohadon being dalinar’s blorbo stuff really reminded me of that other guy… well you know the guy who wrote that one super popular self insert fic.

so here we have a partial redrawing of Dante And Virgil In Hell 1850. Painted by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

this all started as a silly idea to make a quick stormlight archive themed master study, something i could pull in 2-3 days max. of course in a process i’ve decided to make it a full piece and it took me approximately 2 weeks to finish 💀.

“Jasnah stopped one pace behind Renarin. She could hear his whispers clearly now. “Father. Oh, Father…” The young man whipped his head in one direction, then another, seeing things that weren’t there.” (…)

“Now, Jasnah had to be strong. She had to do what was right, even though it was so, so hard.”

From Oathbringer, Chapter 118: The Weight Of It All

And then it hit Sanderson, Kelsier was Fortnite's Tien.

"Four lifetimes"

Kaladin, reunited with his parents after four years as a soldier, a year as a slave, a few months as the bodyguard of the most powerful man in the kingdom, and now, as something he's slowly starting to figure out while the apocalpyse is happening. Meanwhile, Syl is the only one who knows for a fact that family reunions are supposed to be JOYFUL, storm it!

One of my favorite parts of Oathbringer is Syl trying to convince Kaladin to become a homewrecker 💀

Ya'll remember in Oathbringer how Gavinor and all those guards were in the time dilation room, and it felt like days for them, but months or maybe even years passed outside.

And how gavinor is considered quite small and underdeveloped for his age.

Because he wasn't actually his age, he was actually younger.

Because he was in a time dilation room.

So either kal adolin and shallan just didn't fucking believe these guys (not surprising,) or they forgot to mention anything even in passing to Navani (which I don't blame them there was a lot going on).

Anyways.

Jasnah.

Childhood trauma.

Locked in a room for days or weeks or months (i can't remember what she mentioned), and no one remembers.

She landed in a time dilation room. Was it an accident? Did gavilar put her in there? Did amaram?

Everyone thinking she's off her rocker when she finally escapes/is let out. Belittled. Accused of making things up. It was all a dream, just a nightmare!

But it was real, dammit!!!

No wonder she's cold toward Navani and the ardents. No wonder she's a stickler for facts. No wonder she carved herself into the perfect figure. Everything is her choice, her calculation. Dissected, appraised, and evaluated. Ground down to the finest edge, buffed and polished. Not a scuff nor a smudge nor a hair out of place.

She was nearly torn to shreds because she was too easily dismissed as a child.

She will not be dismissed again.

I keep finding people reposting this book I made on different social media platforms so I figure I might as well post it here myself so I can get my meaningless tumblr points too

Just to be clear I am NOT sorry. I truly believe that the world needed this

Process vids on IG/TT/YT @ starlitbindery if watching 1 min videos of books getting rebound is your thing

[laughterspren-abound]

i need the world to know how much i love dalinar and navani’s relationship

the amount of yearning from the both of them is enough to feed an army
