Randomly rising from the dead after getting my wacom running to shove dragon art in yalls face.

Rereading Words of Radiance again and Eshonai and Venli are once again driving me insane. Like. What if we were both driven by knowledge and insatiable curiosity but you wanted freedom and I wanted power. What if you wanted to understand and I wanted to win. What if we were sisters. What if I lived my entire life in your shadow but now it is my chance to protect — what if I could make you stronger, faster, better. What if your trust in me was your un-doing. What if my trick could grant you power but you never wanted power in the first place. What if I gave you my heart’s desire but it was never yours. What if I found your body at the bottom of a chasm. What if I lived to become everything you could have been. What then

As Dracula has voluptuous and Carmilla has languid, the Way of Kings has "raise an eyebrow".

stormlight archive and starwars both dare to ask the question of what if there was a sword that cut so so so so so good

[wanderingprometheus]

am i allowed to say i'm upset lopen grew his arm back

Yeah, i agree. Healing works in the same way soulcasting works on objects, doesnt it? Objects can only change if you believe wholeheartedly that they're something else.

Thats why kaladin's scars didn't heal, isn't it? his subconscious views them as a innate part of him.

Lopen clearly lost his arm a while ago. Hes pretty resolute about the fact that he has no arm and seemed for the most part fine with it. He jokes about it, he's clearly learned to live a fulfilling life without it. We were given no reason to believe Lopen didn't accept that this was him.

I also just liked that there were physically disabled people being treated as a integral part of the team and was potentially going to be given a roll as a hero and saviour to others with his radiant abilities in spite of his disability, like thats cool to me, personally... but its whatever lol

I suppose rysn gets to be the singular physically disabled token character

[wanderingprometheus]

I just finished Rhythm of War

Uh oh.

[wanderingprometheus]

Someone made me read the Stormlight Archive series thus far, and I’ve had some thoughts.

I’ve also made some beyond fucking shitty memes

Obligatory Spoiler Warning for Oathbringer through Chapter 80-something (You know the one):

STORMFATHER MOASH! STORM YOU STORM YOU HAVE YOU NO SHAME, NO HONOR, NO COMPASSION? YOU'RE A STORMING COWARD AND A TRAITOR! YOU CAN'T- YOU DIDN'T EVEN LET HIM FINISH THE OATH! YOU KILLED HIM IN FRONT OF HIS KID, AFTER HE HAD MADE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS TOWARDS BECOMING A BETTER PERSON! YOU CLAIM YOU CAN'T BE BLAMED BECAUSE YOU'RE A PRODUCT OF YOUR CULTURE, AND THEN SAY THAT THE KING DESERVES DEATH DESPITE HIS ACTIONS BEING PREDICATED ON HIS BEING UNABLE TO PROPERLY RESIST THE INFLUENCE OF HIS CORRUPT ESCHELON OF SOCIETY? STORM YOU I WOULD REFORGE THE OATHPACT AND LAST TWICE AS LONG AS TALENELAT IF I KNEW THAT YOU WERE TRAPPED IN THERE WITH ME YOU STORMING MOASH!

Attending a Party Thrown by Each Radiant Order

As requested by anon. :)

You've been invited to a party! Actually, ten parties. But the twist is that each party is thrown and attended only by a single Radiant order and also we're in some kind of quasi-modern AU. What would each party be like?

[Previously: Radiant Orders play boardgames, have sleepovers, and go to musicals]

1. The Lightweaver Party

The invitation is a glossy, stylized illustration of a hand holding a wine glass--a true work of art. You later find out that every invitation is unique; no two are the same. The invitation leads you to a large ballroom-esque hall. "What is your name tonight?" asks a masked figure at the door. "Uh...Fred?" you say. You had not planned this. "Welcome...Fred," they say and let you in. It is shadowy inside, perhaps because all of the light comes from fairy lights and electric candles. Everyone is masked--including you, as per the invitation. People glide about, talking and laughing in low voices. It's not unwelcoming exactly, but certainly...surreal.

2. The Windrunner Party

The invitation is a couple of dudes saying, "Hey, there's a thing. Wanna come?" when you run into them at the bar. "The thing" appears to be some kind of picnic at a local park: you were told it was a potluck, so you did bring a macaroni salad, but the focus seems to be the large pot of stew that one of the men is making. There's a lot of eating and laughter and sunshine, and frankly a lot of hot people in uniform. You have a good time. Even if the Captain is just a little bit glowery the whole time.

3. The Edgedancer Party

A roller skating rink! You haven't been to a roller skating rink in sooo long! You're honestly psyched. As you do your best to skate around, others glide smoothly past you, looking like they were born skating. When you take a break to eat a mediocre but nostalgic corndog, a couple of them sit with you and you get to chatting. You're just at a skating rink, eating a mediocre corndog, but somehow...you've never felt so heard. When you go back to skating, you're skating with maybe a tear in your eye.

4. The Stoneward Party

It's just a party at someone's house, where everyone brings a case of beer or a bottle of wine or a snack food, and everyone drinks out of red solo cups. But you know what the vibe is? Convivial. Like, people are waving you over to join their conversations and asking about your hobbies and at one point? Someone suggests a party game? And everyone plays? Like, it WAS a pretty competitive game of charades, but everyone seemed to be having fun the whole time.

5. The Truthwatcher Party

Their party was at a local bar and on trivia night. The party was immediately pretty boisterous--someone brings up politics, like, immediately, and then everyone is happily shouting their thoughts back and forth across the table. But when trivia time hits, the mood turns serious.

6. The Dustbringer Party

It's in the basement of a warehouse that you're pretty sure is due for demolition. Certainly, it does NOT feel particularly structurally sound and there IS a lot of, like, concrete dust and debris everywhere. But once you get downstairs--well, this is not just a party. This is a rager. There is music and alcohol and drugs if you want 'em, and people are shouting and dancing and generally having a good time. "When you're like us, you GOTTA let loose every once in a while or you go INSANE!" someone says to you at one point. "It's about release?" you say and everyone in a five-foot radius groans at the pun.

7. The Willshaper party

It's drugs. Lots of drugs. Some of them are illegal, some of them aren't, but the people here would definitely scoff if you tried to make that distinction.

8. The Elsecaller Party

Well, it certainly is a very correct party. You receive an RSVP, and it's clear that you are meant to respond. In writing. Which you do. The RSVP lets you know that the party is semiformal, and that the dinner course will begin at precisely 7pm, so you do not even try to do the whole "fashionably late" thing. You are there by 6:55. Good thing, too, because everyone else is already there. "Everyone" being Jasnah and one small, inky man. Have you ever had dinner with your dissertation advisor who is also your mom somehow? Well, then you know how this party went. You were SWEATING the whole time.

9. The Skybreaker Party

When they checked your ID at the entrance to the small event hall they had rented, you laughed and asked if they wanted to make sure you were over 21. Their expression in reply told you that this was not a joke. Inside, there is a cash bar, and some hors d'oeuvre being handed around on plates. The people inside are mostly talking about their recent accomplishments in a way that makes you feel that they are all very stressed and trying to prove something. "It's a test," says a bald man who appeared very suddenly next to you. "A test of what?" you ask, suddenly very afraid. But he is gone.

10. The Bondsmith Party

You're at a party, and it's just you and two other people. The two other people? Married. You feel like you're crashing a date. They're being very nice and you are being included in every conversation but you're also literally the third at a party with only two other people who are married. You can't help but think this would be WAY less awkward if there were just ONE more Bondsmith. But who knows if THAT will ever happen!

[wanderingprometheus]

Started another digital illustration I may never finish- god I love dragons they’re so cool

[wanderingprometheus]

“I am unchained”

“And yet, you think so often of Kaladin.”

“I am… mostly unchained.”

[wanderingprometheus]

KALADIN IS GONNA SMACK THE HEAD

[wanderingprometheus]

More stormlight conversation shenanigans over discord. Shallan would also play the sims and torture sims of people she doesn’t like. Sadeas is stuck in the pool without a ladder

[wanderingprometheus]

The Lopen would love Macklemore. No further explanation
