So I tried a new art style ish. Mini Big Ben is traumatized. Hope he's not hearing toro's rawr in his nightmares anymore :'(

And btw guys, I can't draw dinos for my LIFE, also I didn't even have anything to look at/draw from, so this is Toro from my head lmao.

So, enjoy Ben and a very pretty toro (/j)

it's been almost a year since my last post but i'm going to revive this blog!

i did enjoy doing this but there's two-ish reasons i stopped, one being the weekly format wasn't working and two that honestly i hit a major reading slump. i didn't read a book for like six months, it sucked.

but! i'm back reading again, so i'm gonna try a new format! instead of posting weekly, i'm going to post as and when i start/finish things. (dnf too, where applicable). there'll probably be longer between posts this way but each post should be more articulate and it'll feel less like a chore for me personally.

i'm also expand this beyond just a book blog and basically use it as a more general personal blog (as opposed to my main fandom blog). i'll post about english and japanese language reading, progress on translation practice, and anything else that i feel like.

if anyone's still following this blog, i hope you enjoy coming along on my reading and learning journey!

Redd will never stop being the absolute funniest Animal Crossing character to me. It's illegal how underrated he is. He's got either a londoner or new yorky accent depending on how you read it. His logo is a blatant ripoff of Tom Nook's. He's fuzzy. He wears nothing but an apron. He's a bastard. He's clever. He's amazing at art. He does not utilise this talent in a genuine way. He painted the Mona Lisa at least 5 times but with angry eyebrows and no other change. He went to art school. He's divorced from Tom Nook. He has a million cousins. His old colleague now works for his ex instead. He lives on a boat. He has to hide said boat from Tom. He doesn't even know if half his art is real or fake. He's a kitsune with no powers so is essentially just a normal fox. He recreated an entire stone tablet and the only thing he changed was he made it bright blue. Blathers hates him. He's an enemy of the state. He openly admitted he was crazy before realising that was a bad sales technique. He replaced the adjective with 'jolly'. In old games people were blatantly racist against him being a fox. He has the same criminal motivation as Nick Wilde. His name is just the colour of his fur. His password is a spiteful jab at his ex. He's REDD.

He's just so damn FUNNY.

Okay I have actually cracked the code for how the duel in Stormlight 5 will end, and it's a lot simpler than anyone is theorizing.

In chapter 99 of Rhythm of War we get a few pages with Wit and Jasnah writing up the contract for the duel. Wit tells a story as he's writing about how he once rigged a game so that he couldn't lose, and then someone tied it. He didn't lose automatically because it was a tie, but because he had bet everything on winning. He then writes up an airtight contract, ensuring that no matter what the outcome of the duel they can come away satisfied, with Odium still bound to the Rosharan system.

People are hyper focused on the tie, but even discounting that for not making any sense in a duel to the death, it wasn't the tie that did him in. It was an unexpected outcome that he couldn't have bet on. Todium's best move is to try and get Dalinar to break the terms of the contract, because he's not satisfied with win or lose.

That's the first part, the second part is the fact that Odium throws Wit's contract out completely, leaving Dalinar to negotiate on the fly. He does really well, ensuring minimal losses even if he doesn't win, and trapping Odium in the Rosharan system. It's all very very simple, and the more simple and straightforward something is the less room there is to bend it than if there had been provisions for each and every little thing.

HOWEVER, Dalinar adds a couple of things that he really didn't need to. 1. The champions must be willing, and 2. They must arrive unharmed by either side's forces. Neither side will purposely break their word by choosing someone who isn't completely willing, so it has to be the second one imo.

For narrative purposes I think it'll have to be someone Dalinar personally harms, it can't be accidental, and it can't be someone who was harmed prior to the terms being set. This is all pretty simple and maybe a little silly sounding on paper, but with the right execution it can and will be a massive narrative gut punch
