I fucking love women who fight but not gracefully. Show me the brute strength women that can be quick and elegant and fast but dont need to be. Massive swords that arent even sharp because a club works as well as a blade. This post is about Vin Venture

(Thanks to @priscellie for the idea!)

I think kaladin should've learned to play that flute. I think kaladin should just be able to play mad flute music but it basically never comes up

Dalinar at the end of WoK: after months of personal reflection I have concluded that a man must sometimes *clears throat* just beat the damned brat

kaladin is such a drama queen I swear

I imagine the Dalinar and Navani try to take a picture but then they decide to bring in the whole family including Shallan. Then Adolin and Shallan bring in Kaladin, and Kaladin and Renarin bring in bridge 4, who bring their own platoons who bring in some other orders until all of Urithiru is taking a picture.

Decided to draw up my vision of Kaladin Stormblessed from Stormlight Archives!

Spoilers for Underworld Saga, and Oathbringer

Listening to the new Saga for Epic the Musical and its got me thinking—

Okay for a little background context for ppl who havent read or listened to the Odyssey/Epic Odysseus is MC and over the course of his journey, he blames ppl (monsters, for thematic effect)for doing horrible things, although they were protecting themselves and their family. And at the end of the newest saga, he realizes this, and goes “what if im the monster” in reference to all the horrible shit HE’S done, and THEN, he goes “yea i have to be the monster” to get him and his men home, mainly Him so he can see his wife and son again.

(“If I became the monster to everyone but us / And made sure we got home again / Who would care if we're unjust?”)

Getting TO THE POINT, I want Adolin to have an Odysseus level character development. I want him to stop worrying about what Dalinar thinks is right, what the Knight Radiants think is right, etc. and realize that just because you’re ACTING honorable and having good morals, doesn’t mean that the world will cater to that and sometimes you HAVE to do bad shit to get to your goals

Although i DESPISE all three of them, Sadeas, Gavilar, and Amaram understood this. Those three died because they meddled in shit they weren’t supposed to, (Gavilar w the.. all of it, Amaram w the sons of Honor, Sadeas with insulting Dalinar in front of Adolin) like if those three ppl had had foresight and aligned themselves properly, they would still be alive.

And rlly the only reason Dalinar remembers the Rift is bc he killed his wife. I would bet some money that if his wife didn’t die there, he would just file it away under “horrible shit i did during the war” and never gone to the Valley, etc.

I want Adolin to be a more morally grey character, mostly bc the main characters of the story rn, not including Shallan, are like “holier than thou” type shit. Also it would totally be a good breakaway from Adolin’s adolescence into his true adulthood where he is not just Dalinar’s Son.

So I’m reading Warbreaker for the first time (yes I know I should probably have read it before Stormlight Archive but here we are) and Vasher and Vivenna are trying to figure out what Denth’s plan was;

“One of the straw men began to jump up and down. The other two rushed over to it and the. They began to bounce as well. Vasher joined them,”

I know it is not what Brandon meant, but now I can’t stop picturing Vasher jumping up and down next to three small awakened straw figures

If there are ancient Fabrials that can manipulate the surges of Progression (the fabrial used for Regrowth in a vision) and Transformation (soulcasters) Transportation (the oathgates), it stands to reason that there would be a way to make a fabrial to replicate the other surges ie: a fabrial for Gravitation (flight) or Illumination (instant disguise)

Dalinar meeting the Nightwatcher I don't find much time lately for fanart, but this one just fitted my mood that day. It is based on an old sketch from 2021 which I never fully rendered.
