I finished reading The Lord of the Rings for the first time in my life. With all of *vague gesture at everything* this going on.

I Am Not Okay

If I suck it will be genuine! If I shine it will be by the strength of my arms and the flash of my wit!

if you have participated in horse plinko know that Adolin Kholin is very disappointed in you

something about Kaladin's journey early on in way of kings and the idea that the good you put into the world isn't always reflected back at you but that's not why you do it, how it's for yourself because you need to know that good exists in the world, that it's real, even if you're the only one who seems to be putting any of it out into the world because you NEED it to be true even for a moment and that idea is doing SOMETHING to me.

it's like Sanderson found a barrel jumped on it and started shouting "hope is bruised! it's battered, it fights everyday downtrodden bloodied and insulted for nothing but its own sake and the dream of a future it could bring about!"

does everyone have a teacher that they still have beef with/ hold a grudge against today??

That has got to be such a mortifying experience though. You attempt to flirt with one of the most beautiful people you've ever seen and somehow the conversation gets on your health and at the end of it he says "that sounds like chronic fatigue" and still somehow doesn't realize you were flirting.

so how many of the people who were coming to Kaladin for "headaches" do you think he realized had actual health problems they didn't realize were health problems

Ok, loves, so we've all got the message that joking about suicide is bad for your mental health. Now we need to get on "joking that the planet/all of humanity has no future is bad for societal health/encouraging resistance to bad shit."

I was fortunate enough to meet her at a faire once. She is just as beautiful in person and as kind as she is lovely.
