Obsessed with whatever the fuck is going on here. Classic Hughes. Depressed slut. Lust and Gluttony just chillin'. What a vibe.

I feel like everyone in the church of the survivor should sit in their chairs backwards.

Because every time Kelsier sits down brandosando specifically writes that he sits down in his chair “the wrong way” like not once did that man sit down proper.

He has to do things the charismatic fun way.

Royal Assassin should really just be called The Awful Terrible No-Good Sexual Escapades of FitzChivalry Farseer

Poor guy

Accidentally magically livestreams his first time to his uncle

Has his uncle accidentally magically livestream HIS sexual relations with his wife

Has a wolf companion who butts in during his first time

Said wolf companion literally controls him during sex while Fitz is knocked out cold

His gf compliments him for his sexual prowess only after Fitz was either influenced by Verity, or being controlled by Nighteyes, never when he's being himself lmao

So Mistborn names are generally aesthetically French.

Which leads to the controversial kelsee-AE pronunciation.

Seeing that, however, I raise you this: the protagonist Vin's name should be pronounced like "von".

[shouldprobablybereading]

fixed it‼️

#dalinar #<- prev

[shouldprobablybereading]

one day some poor fantasy fan who only ever watched game of thrones will watch the stormlight archive adaptation and watch dalinar giving kaladin his cloak and think they are getting married

#I am more concerned about the people who will hear everyone refer to dalinar and navani as brother and sister #and just buy it

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

Thank god they brought back An Amount Of Daylight That Makes You Want To Live. It was getting a bit scary for a minute there.

What Cosmere Characters' Rooms Look Like (But Mostly In Terms of Vibes)

As requested by @rainbyanyothername :)

Here is my take on what the vibe of Cosmere characters' rooms would be--vibes mostly because I don't want to be stuck to, like, what bedrooms are canonically like in the various worlds. We're going by vibes, baby!

1. Adolin

I think that, as soon as he stopped having to abide by his father's strict "all rooms must follow the codes somehow" standards, Adolin went his own way...and that way was tasteful and fashionable. Adolin is the sort of guy whose bedroom pieces all match--but not in a "all bought from a matching set" kind of way, but rather, like, a deep orange bedspread and a forest green rug that somehow complement each other beautifully. It's neat--he is NOT going to wrinkle his clothes by tossing them over a chair--but also clearly lived in and homey.

2. Zellion

He doesn't have a room. :( He's always on the run. :( How rude of you to even ask. :(

3. Shallan

I just remember how happy Shallan was to be in that big fluffy comforter when she first moved in with Sebarial. I think she'd love to have that deeply soft bed and that big fluffy comforter and a beanbag chair and also a big egress window in case she has to escape in the night to do spy stuff. It is also definitely not neat.

4. Jasnah

Well...we know nothing is soft if Jasnah can help it. Her mattress is firm, her rug (if she has one) is low-pile, and she has bookshelves everywhere.

5. Wax

I think he has deerskin-rug-on-the-floor-guns-on-the-walls-but-also-everything-in-there-costs-one-million-dollars vibes. Except for the boots, which Wayne left behind as a trade and are worth $1.50.

6. Ranette

Her room is gross and cluttered and every single surface is either guns or gun parts.

7. Dalinar

I mean, surely this one is obvious: his room is Spartan. Dalinar has the minimum amount of furniture necessary to make a room a room, and he didn't even have any photographs before Navani came along. He thinks slippers are extravagant.

8. Lightsong

I mean, this one is clear from canon. Lightsong has, like, nineteen pillows and sixteen blankets and carpets on top of his carpets and a lot of objects that could only be called "baubles."

9. Sigzil

I don't think Sigzil is quite as Spartan as Dalinar--or at least, it isn't a moral thing for him. I think Sigzil would live fairly simply because he's not a big stuff person, and it would be neat on the surface but perhaps a bit dusty if you looked too closely because he's out a lot.

10. Zane

All I know is that his room has a My Chemical Romance poster on its wall...in, like, vibes.

11. Breeze

He has a wine fridge. It's by the bed. His room his mostly tasteful and masculine and, like, full of oak...but also there are sparkly pink pillows and doilies everywhere. We all know why.

12. Kelsier

Kelsier's room would be a sanctuary to Mare; like not-touched-at-all-since-she-was-last-there-even-though-he-feels-like-weeping-whenever-he-sees-it-but-he-can't-throw-away-that-crumpled-up-kleenex-because-Mare-touched-it sort of vibes. Sorry :(

13. Vasher

His room his gross. He thinks he can wear his socks three times before they need washing and in the meantime he will be leaving them on that chair.

14. Vivenna

Her room is very neat--she definitely makes her bed every morning and actually moves books to dust underneath them--and there is, just, no color anywhere.

15. Kaladin

If you asked Kaladin what he wanted in a bedroom he would be like "A mattress?? To sleep on?? What else do you need in a bedroom???" And yes, he's definitely a mattress-put-directly-on-the-floor boy. But then Syl keeps collecting cool leaves and flowers and putting them around, and there are some rocks from Tien, and a flute that somehow ended up back with him, and Adolin gave him something called a "decorative pillow" and in the end it's still a mattress on the floor but surrounded by things brought in by people who love him.

#now I would like to see lightsong and dalinar share a room #they would hate it

[shouldprobablybereading]

Questioner: What's a character you thought would be more liked or popular, if you have one?

Brandon Sanderson: Oh boy, I don't know about that. I mean, I do think that the original version of Chet, from Cytonic, people would like more, and they HATED him, which is why I ripped him out and rewrote the book entirely.

That's one of the worst reactions I've had to a character - but, of course, that why I have beta reads, and alpha reads. When I flub up that big, then I want to know it before the book comes out, right?

Generally I have a pretty good instinct.

And it's odd, in book series, if you have multiple viewpoints, there will always be more variance in what people think of the characters. For instance, in Skyward, generally the characters are just not as divisive.

But in Elantris or Stormlight, where the character you love - other characters are pulling you away from, to tell their stories - you will generally, whoever that character is that you love, resent the other ones a little bit more than you would in a single-viewpoint narrative.

But that does make people kind of like the character they like even more, it's one of those things.

#how bad was that character #to summon that much reactions

these human creatures have strange customs. some are nice tho

hello, brandon sanderson fans

[shouldprobablybereading]

LOVE adolin's voice actor trying to mimic pattern's voice actor here. Also sorry if this is the first time you're hearing what pattern sounds like.

#that’s what pattern sounds like in audiobook? #they really went all out with the effects
