At long last... after roughly 12 hours of work...!

Attack for one of my besties @mythicalwatch101 featuring both our OCs Helios (He/Him) and Ocean Gazer (They/Them)! Our most favorite fish people who have also been the source of much turmoil.

You can watch a timelapse of the animation process [here]!

You'd think she was beating him, the way he's looking at her. You'd think she was dying on her feet right in front of him

As I progress through OB at my snail's pace, my mind refuses to quit rotating Taravangian in my brain like a rotisserie chicken, and I can't stop ruminating on his unnerving presence in early OB, knowing what we know, and wondering how he intends to carry out his goals and designs against Dalinar.

Plus I love The Audacity of This Bitch sometimes - he elicits so many emotions in me, lmao.

Taravangian is a super compelling antagonist, and a horrifying one, whose circumstances endlessly fascinate me. Is the fact that Taravangian, on his smartest day, lacks empathy, leading him to believe that having empathy is a sign of stupidity/weakness? Is peak intelligence marked by a lack of empathy? And what of the "nature vs. nurture" of it all - would Taravangian still believe his goals are righteous, be able to commit these atrocities, if he lacked the mental capacities to do so, if he never went to the Nightwatcher? His empathy and remorse for his actions on his “dumber” days have been portrayed as a weakness in his chapters and seen as such by his inner circle. But still they remain loyal to the Diagram, which the very same king who feels this remorse created on his “most intelligent” day, treating it like absolute truth and Taravangian like God.

Ok so there is this famous quote within Buddhist teachings (I know nothing about Buddhism, I just really like this quote!) this all brought to mind: “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.” If we let go of our humanity, or empathy, to achieve a higher state (as Taravangian has in creating the Diagram) for “the truth”, or godliness, or a united kingdom (as Dalinar did when conquering Alethkar), but destroy each other in the process, are we even human anymore, even if the end result could be considered a net positive? Is it a worthy goal at that point? Taravangian's designs for a unified Roshar are drawn from a mind that can somehow see the path forward to salvation, but is utterly devoid of compassion. Would his actions have been less repugnant if he had never gone to the Nightwatcher? Assuming he still had the same ambitions but actually lacked the alleged clairvoyance, would he actually be the kind and benevolent king he pretends to be? And the real question being posed, to me, is: are his actions justifiable if they end up saving the world?

On the other hand, Taravangain is not unlike Dalinar, in his days as Blackthorn, “uniting” Alethkar by waging war and terror, “for the greater good”. Does Dalinar’s present remorse and attempts to do good supersede his past wrongs? He is now encountering the consequences of his past in his attempts to unify Roshar and they keep avoiding him because HE IS A WAR CRIMINAL. The crimes in question took place decades ago, but it is Alethkar’s legacy to the rest of the world, even now. AND THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Fuck if I don't love when a bitch gets what's coming to 'em, especially when it's my favorite characters!! 😂 It's so delicious. And even now, Dalinar’s mind for conquest is more ingrained than he seemingly is able to recognize in himself. I don't think he'll start another war campaign trying to subjugate the other kingdoms (um lmao if I'm wrong) but the fact that he still has to stop himself from considering that as an option in the first place is SO REAL! He quite literally thought he was only born to bring death and destruction - he did the most AWFUL SHIT in his youth. It's so fucked up actually that this information is presented as something Dalinar forgot and only just now is remembering like: oh, actually, yeah, all those things I did back in the day (the worst of which I don’t even FULLY recall due to memory-altering magic) might have something to do with world leaders not wanting me at the head of the forces that would be responsible for their salvation. DALINAR, MY GUY MY POOKIE MY DARLING. YIKES. YOU MAYBE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING.

YOU'VE GOT ONLY GASLIGHT GATEKEEP GIRLBOSS TARAVANGIAN IN YOUR CORNER AND THAT ONLY BC HE IS WORSE AND WANTS TO KILL YOU. I'm so glad that Brandy Sandy isn't afraid of making such a mess of things. I Love Mess and I am so invested in seeing how this will play out - and if we’ll dig further into Taravangian’s conflicting inner struggle and the dichotomy of his morality. WHICH REMINDS ME OF THE INNIE/OUTIES IN SEVERANCE, specifically Helly/Helena, though I doubt it’ll be explored as much as I would like. But I would read a Taravangian novella if Brandy Sandy ever felt the inclination. :)

I'd written down these thoughts before reaching the above scene. It's clear to me we're meant to draw a comparison between these two by putting them side by side - I was glad when we got more Dalinar and Taravangian moments to illustrate their differences and similarities. Unbeknownst to each other (or just to Dalinar), they're both working towards the same goal - unifying the world in order to save it - through vastly differing paths. It's a worthy, righteous goal, being undertaken by some of the most morally bankrupt (one in the past, the other still going strong) complex dudes, and throughout this scene we see where each man stands on the importance of morality/ethics when it comes to the end goal of serving the greater good.

(SICK ASS QUOTE BY DADDYNAR BTW I AM FANGIRLING) Dalinar is working on changing his ways, slowly and not without a million roadblocks. He is being met with so much skepticism and resistance, naturally. It's so hard to read about the terrible things he did in his youth (AND HE IS SO HARD TO DEFEND lmao), but he will need to contend with that in this book if he wants to unite instead of divide. I love themes of redemption and whether one can be irredeemable after a certain point, and if so, what is that point. But so far, his current actions are aligning with the changes in his thinking and I believe he’s on the path to some sort of redemption.

Taravangian... is lost in the sauce, even as he actively regrets the consequences of his own actions (in a way that also reminds me of Szeth - tho that's a post for another day I think lol). He is still very much committed to carrying out the Diagram’s plans, and every story needs an antagonist committed to doing what they think is right, so it'll be interesting to see this diverging path that once was much more similar to Dalinar's. And this theme could further be expanded to Kaladin and Moash's own diverging paths - but that too is a post for another day since I haven't met Moash again in OB yet!!

Anyway this rambly thought exercise got away from me. I'm just having fun rotating these chickens.

just going to be bitchy on main one last time before making myself go to bed

For real idk why the fuck I'm still bothering with my high effort location/details screenshot compilation posts when I can just make lower effort posts that get SIGNIFICANTLY more notes. Like why the fuck should I even bother to spend at least a couple hours curating screenshots for part 2 of Luis's lab details which will get a maximum of 50 notes when I could just spend like 20 minutes making a few gifs like this and get HUNDREDS of notes
