#Szeth

[basket-of-radiants]

I think Szeth's backstory chapters did a good job of covering almost everything we'd need to know about him (honestly you really only need the first couple, being told "he's autistic, and he likes dancing" explains like 98% of the character) but how the hell did he become fluent in every language under the sun?

WARNING: MASSIVE WIND & TRUTH SPOILERS DO NOT ENGAGE IF HAVEN’T FINISHED (some cremposting for those who have)

Sword-nimi finds actual chickens suspect. Had a blast drawing this; liking the shape design.

I love that most cultures in Roshar refer to birds as "chickens". Although, I hope Adolin's pre-duel meals are actual chickens and not oversized parrots. When in Roshar I guess.

::: MINOR SPOILERS for Wind and Truth:::: Happy (belated) New Year to all of you here on Tumblr! May Connection and Fortune favor us all! ✨ While reading Wind and Truth I really enjoyed their parts. Somehow with that came a feeling that I wanted to express in an illustration for my New Years post ... something like levity, perhaps hope? It feels like we all need it. So here is the Shinovar roadtrip party not being miserable. 😅

ID: Illustration of Szeth, Kaladin and Syl ascending in front a backdrop of blue sky and giant clouds. Szeth is at the top and closest to the viewer, with Nightblood and a big clothwrapped bundle attached with straps to his back. Further down floating on the currents are Kaladin in his uniform with a big rucksack on his back. The wind is wipping his hair upwards and he smiles. His right hand holds something that looks like a long stick, could be a flute? His left hand is holding onto Syl's who happily flys next to him life-sized and wearing a blue military style jacket and a skirt in a light purple colour. To the right closer in the foreground a highspren hovers – a black rip in the air filled with stars and nebulas. Szeth looks upwards, sunlight making his face and his wide white collar glow. His expression is filled with a levity unusual for him, something almost akin to hope and wonder, the softest hint of a smile pulling in the corners of his mouth.

Szeth immediately hooking up with the first woman he meets the moment he stops being a Radiant is so funny. No other character would have been plausible, but he's so salaryman coded that the moment violence stopped being expected of him he immediately metamorphizes into a man with a day job and a wife who helps him raise his god killing sword.

So this is how that scene went, right?

If Cosmere Characters Were Stopped for Street Interviews

As requested by anon. :)

It's a common thing to see on Tiktok, I think, where someone will make a short video in which they stop some random people on the street to ask them a question. If such a thing existed in the Cosmere, here is how it might go!

1. The "Meet-Cute" Question

Interviewer: Hey! Are you two a couple? How'd you meet? Dalinar: She was my brother's wife. Interviewer: O-Oh? Navani: Oh, don't worry. We did not get together until after my former husband was murdered. Interviewer: ... Interviewer: It, uh, wasn't you guys who murdered him, right? Navani: Of course not! Dalinar: We didn't become friends with his murderer until a long time later. Interviewer (muttering): Maybe I *won't* post this one for Valentine's Day...

2. The "Special Talent" Question

Interviewer: Got any special talents? Szeth: Yes. I can dance. Interviewer: Awesome! Can I see? Szeth: [leans in until his lips are almost touching the mic]: No.

3. The "Religion" Question

Interviewer: Do you believe in god? Lightsong: ... Lightsong: [laughing so hard he can barely speak] Absolutely not! Llarimar: ... Interviewer: Your friend looks upset... Lightsong: Priest. Interviewer: What? Lightsong: My priest looks upset. Interviewer: ... Lightsong: What?

4. The "Name That Flag" Question

Interviewer: Hello! Hello! I'll give you twenty bucks if you can name this flag! Wayne: Okay! Wayne: Mmmmm..... Frank. Interviewer: ... Wayne: Oh, but keep the money! Get Frank a coffee. Wayne: Heh. Frank.

5. The "Worst Job" Question

Interviewer: What's the worst job you've ever had, sir? Hoid: Mmmm, probably the time I was coatrack. Interviewer: A...coatrack? Hoid: Yup. Just stood there. Frozen. While people hung their coats on me. Interviewer: How much did you get paid for that?? Hoid: I, well, I wasn't paid anything. Interviewer: I, uh, don't think that was a job...

6. The "How to Flirt" Question

Interviewer: What's your go-to move to pick up women? Kaladin: What? Interviewer: Like, how do you flirt when you like someone? What's your move? Kaladin: [Thinks about it. A sudden wind blows through his hair, shampoo-commercial style. The sunlight gleams off of his bare, muscular arms. His gorgeous brown eyes stare off into the distance.] Kaladin: I don't think I do anything, really. Interviewer: [almost breathless with lust] I-I bet you don't!

7. The "Best Ramen" Question

Interviewer: Hey, where's the best ramen in the city? Design: Oh, definitely at my ramen place! Interviewer: What do you think is the secret to good ramen? Design: Counting the grains of salt individually! Interviewer: Uh... Design: Ha ha, just kidding! Interviewer: Ha ha, of course! Design: Counting them doesn't affect the taste--but putting in the same prime number of salt grains every time does! Design: Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have given away my secret... Interviewer: I don't Interviewer: I don't think you need to worry.

8. The "How Much Rent" Question

Interviewer: How much rent do you pay, sir? Kelsier: I'm not the one who pays. Interviewer: Do you know how much it costs, though? Kelsier: For people who force their skaa to pay to live as slaves? Typically, it costs them their life. Interviewer: ... Kelsier: Because I murder them. Interviewer: ... Interviewer: I gotta get back to my own universe.
