I’m On Early Rhythm Of War, No One Spoil Future Stuff!!!

Wayne does things that would send Shallan into doom spirals. He method acts for fun and Shallan would have crumpled like a house of cards beneath his rambles about accents and personality and “stealing voices”.

He no-diffs Shallan, not because he can manipulate time, but rather because she simply couldn’t keep up with his Spastic Man Swag™️

Character art I did for @shoccoe for her Cradle oc!

Me: Ugh,,,, god actually I haven’t kissed anyone in ages

Friend: Smh im literally right here-

Me: Super fucked up I can’t find anyone who wants to kiss me

You know actually I’m on Pattern’s side now. Shallan’s being an asshole and needs to talk to him.

P…. Pattern… I don’t think I can handle this. What the fuck.

Ah.. so I’ve finally gotten to my single favorite theme of the Stormlight Archives: How the world is mostly just a matter of perception. A king, a princess, a light eyes, a leader… is only that because others perceive them to be so. They aren’t inherently different than others, just possessing the arbitrary lineage, presence, and background for others to deign them as such.

It’s the entire power system of Roshar. You change things self-perception to soul-cast, you change the way your soul perceives gravity to lash, and so on and so forth for each and every power. It’s ALL perception.

Kaladin is just a bridge man. A slave. And all the men he comes in contact with laude him because of his presence. How many times have people said he MUST have been a light-eyes or what have you. It’s how they perceive him, because of how he carries himself, that causes this. Shallan is in the same situation, though I don’t feel the need to explain hers, as she quite literally created a personality based on this concept. It’s fascinating, real, and freeing. You are not bound by where you’re from who what you’ve done. At any moment - if you’ve the will to try - you can become anyone.

And this is why, because I believe in myself, I know I could get Jasnah to step on me

Aaahhhh, Eugenics. My least favorite part of this series.

Gamer cats

I- S-spook’s street slang. B-became. THE ANCIENT HIGH TONGUE OF NOBILITY

That’s. That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard. Sanderson you’re such a genius.

“Hello, Crazy.”

“Hello, Idiot.”

oh my gosh Wayne and Steris are best friends

Mistborn Era 2/Stormlight spoilers

Just gonna go out on a limb here, but I think the big bad organization Wax’s uncle is working with is preparing for some sort of Cosmic war thing. The things they are doing are utterly reprehensible and the only way I can fathom them doing it with a good conscience is believing it’s for the “greater good”. So with the knowledge that the government is… well, made of these men, and Harmony isn’t corrupt, the only thing big enough to make this make sense (obviously to a demented, immoral mind) would be an out-of-world threat like Odium or another Shard.

I imagine their justification is something like “You see what you did to that building, Wax? With these children we can selectively breed allomancers and feruchemists of whichever type we want, then combine their powers with Hemalurgy to create impossibly powerful soldiers. Imagine an army of 100 Miles Hundredlives! We’d be unstoppable.” With knowledge of hemalurgy and compounding and all that, I imagine they’d independently arrive at the concept of making another Lord Ruler, which like… would be extremely difficult to deal with for anyone we’ve seen in the Cosmere. But yeah, they’d feel they were doing the right thing, “making the hard choice for the greater good”

Then Wax would be all like “but the cost in lives is ridiculous! This is not worth it, man, can’t you see that?” Blahblahblah blah. This is a stretch, so I’d not be surprised if it’s something totally unrelated, but a lot of Rhythm of War is spent ranting about an impending God War, so it doesn’t seem unreasonable.
