shallan and kaladin are like two sides of the same coin

> both take responsibility for things that were outside of their control in order to create the illusion that they had some measure of influence over horrific things that happened to them (because the alternative is too unbearable)

> both have hardcore main character syndrome - which is just reaffirmed by the narrative again and again lol (like, it is true that they do happen to be main characters in a book series. but even if they weren't they would still feel like that imo)

> both feel the need to take care of others and hate being the one that is taken care of (but despite how uncomfortable it is for them they still somewhat crave it)

> both have a very strong sense of justice (even if their ideas of what is right and wrong don't exactly align)

> both have put a lot of time and effort into one specific skill that they then use to define their entire sense of self-worth

> both try to view who they are on bad days and who they are normally as two separate people (i just say "the wretch")

> on that note: so much mental illness lol

> both absolutely abhorr failure

> connected to the above: both are willing to do slightly insane things in order for things to go according to their will

the main difference is that everyone views Kaladin as somewhat above them ("Stormblessed") even though he genuinely just wants to be one of the guys. He is just like everyone else! By the Almighty please stop worshipping him or seeing him as somehow better than the average soldier !! 😭

while Shallan is viewed as meek and somewhat weak and all around not something all too special (cue kaladin's absolute shock when she tells him her backstory) even though she really really really needs to be seen as something special. she knows in the end effect it benefits her if she doesn't stand out too much or if people underestimate her (their looks of wonder when she surprises them is always great) but damn it she went through hell and pulled through - pulled her brothers through, that are older than her - and still people can never properly appreciate her 😔

Omega is such a funky little guy I’m obsessed

#can’t wait until I can peruse the tag and reblog ten million gifs of her just moving about #this post is inspired by her shuffling about on the landing port in the summit going round and round the storm troopers #the way she moves. I’m obsessed #the bad batch #star wars

Was it supposed to be a reveal that the woman helping hemlock is a clone too?? Idk I feel like the delivery and music said yes but I figured it out p much the first time I saw her

#like I know it’ll be a shock to omega but is it supposed to be for the audience? #the bad batch #star wars

Okay but the way sherlock just completely blends into any situation he wants is insane. The bookies this week? Incredible. And john is just pulled along in his wake trying not to make it obvious they don’t belong

#their dynamic is so good I love it #sherlock and co

Beginner

Intermediate

Advanced

Self-taught one work-in-progress at a time so that there’s some beginner stuff I don’t know and advanced stuff that I do know and I will forever be making silly beginner mistakes in complex projects that I’ll probably never complete :)

hold on sorry you're telling me the name of the boat was "the terror"?? i always assumed that was a retroactive name! did they WANT things to go horrifically awry???

obsessed with the implication that nominative determinism could have saved them

Me: Okay guys remember that it’s important in improv to establish your characters at the beginning of the scene.

Students: ok

Student 1: Hello. I am the president of the United States.

Student 2: Hello madame president. I’m William Shakespeare and I’m here to assassinate you.

Not my daylist saying I listen to ‘corporate’ on Monday mornings???

#what does this even mean spotify #also it was called mountain music earthy #I had apparently also listened to stomping grounds #what do these words mean pls #for context the music was all like noah kahan and chance peña and folk pop so how corporate fits in I have no clue

spectacular how he overcomes the situation

#literally no reaction. if I hadn’t watched this with my eyes I wouldn’t have known he’d fell in a pool #his voice didn’t even change he just carried on talking?? #my belly hurts from laughing at this

What is this?” Dalinar bellowed toward Sadeas, who sat only a short distance away. The lighteyes on the benchlike rows of seats between them hunched down or fled, leaving a direct line of sight between the highprinces. Sadeas and his wife turned about, lazily. “Why do you ask me?” Sadeas called back.

Wait I'm sorry I missed this the first dozen times I read this scene because that is the funniest shit. POV: you managed to get pretty good seats for the duel! Then Highprince Kholin starts shouting at Highprince Sadeas and you realize a) why these seats were empty and b) this might be the day that the Blackthorn finally snaps and just straight starts murdering people again. And you are in between him and the guy he very clearly wants to start with.

You duck down because you're right in the middle and you don't think you can run in time. There's several points during the duel where you want to get back up because the way the crowds reacting its clearly a really good match but every time you peek back at one of the highprinces they are VISIBLY losing their shit. Apparently Adolin Kholin somehow wins against FOUR shardbareres?? You start to get back up but then he challenges SADEAS to a duel and then someone next to him challenges AMARAM and the king is ARRESTING one of them and you figure you'll stay on the floor until everyone else leaves.

#read this last night and yep that’s basically the readers reaction we are all the lighteyes sat between dalinar and sadeas hoping for a good #time and getting progressively more stressed by everyone else in the arena as the duel gones on #stormlight archive
