everyone seems so convinced dalinar is going to be homophobic to renarin. maybe im just a delusional dalinar stan but in row 54 when dalinar is talking to renarin about him being an enlightened truthwatcher and he says, and i quote, "whatever you are son, it's a blessing. you may be a different kind of radiant, but you're radiant all the same. you shouldn't feel the need to hide this" that sure sounds like a parent who has figured out that their child is queer and is not going to press them on it but is trying to get across that they Accept Their Son's Differences. like im not saying dalinar is a champion for gay rights or anything and im certainly not saying that he's free of the biases of heterosexual society just because sadeas sucked him off or whatever, but what i AM saying is that he's a moderate liberal dad who is a little bit confused about how to be a good ally but who is trying. and maybe that trying doesn't hit at all for renarin. maybe dalinar being like "and that's okay" a little too affirmatively when renarin comes out to him is not going to actually help renarin feel supported in the gendered hellscape that is vorin society. but i certainly don't think that he's going to be angry or, like, disowning renarin or talking about what a disappointment he is. this man learned how to read for chrissakes. and when renarin learned how to read dalinar wasn't like oh son this is so shameful he was like well this is odd and unexpected! but i have a lot more important shit going on lmao. i think renarin coming out to dalinar would be like that.

If Cosmere Characters Were on Tumblr...
Sure, we blog about Cosmere characters. But what if they were here, blogging for themselves? Here is what I think it might be like...
1. Dalinar: Never changes the default icon
He gets blocked a lot.
Dalinar: How odd. No matter how many blogs I follow, my “dashboard” remains empty.
Renarin: I think they all blocked you because they think you’re a bot.
Dalinar: A bot? But I took your advice and chose a unique blog name: Big_D9762.
Renarin: ...
Dalinar: What?
2. Jasnah: Acts like Neil Gaiman
She comes on tumblr as a break from doing research and ruling, answers a few questions, and leaves again.
Anonymous asked: I love your work breaking down gender barriers in Alethkar by being queen and stuff! Do you plan to further erode unnecessary gender distinctions, like by letting women eat spicy food and show both hands?
Jasnah-Kholin: Wait and See.
3. Vin: Reblogs a thousand things in a mad fury and then disappears for days
She does not use the queue function.
Vin: Yeah...I don’t fuck with the the queue function. If you see me, you see me.
Elend: Hey Vin, did you reblog the crab rave like 15 times in a row?
Vin: I was feeling it.
4. Elend: Has a carefully curated queue
His “queue” tag is “Vin is a queue-T.”
Elend: The only exception I make are donation posts and political ones, since those need to be reblogged immediately.
Elend: But otherwise, the queue function is great for lovely, regular content!
5. Adolin: Runs a fashion blog
He has ALL of the Rosharan runways.
Adolin: It’s easy to let Alethi fashion dominate, but a REAL fashion blogger makes sure to have a wide variety of nations and fashions.
6. Shallan: Posts her art
And she tries not to be frustrated when her quick Kaladin sketch gets tons more notes than her very detailed sketch of the chasmfiend.
Shallan: It’s like, I get it--Kaladin fan art is ALWAYS popular.
Shallan: But that chasmfiend was very detailed!
Adolin: Maybe you should draw Kaladin riding it.
Adolin: Shirtless.
Shallan: ...
Shallan: I’ll take my three notes, thank you very much.
7. Tien: Always reblogs no-note art posts
And he always leaves a nice comment too!
Tien: The colors in this are so lovely!!
8. Navani: Considers herself a tumblr patron
She’s one of those bloggers who, if she reblogs your post, you know you’re about to make it big.
Navani: I don’t really make original posts, of course. I’m not a real blogger.
Navani: I just find other people’s clever posts and help promote them!
Navani (typing): "This...has...10,000...notes...to...me...”
Navani: You know they’re happy when they just respond “PLEASE NO”
9. Kelsier: Stirs up his followers with so. much. discourse.
Especially about Hoid.
Kelsier: Friendly reminder that Hoid (1) will let a planet burn to get what he wants; (2) beat up an innocent ghost (me) once; (3) is dating someone WAY younger than he is; (4) insults women.
Hoid: I insulted men too. I was the King’s Wit.
Kelsier: I’m adding you to my DNI.
10. Szeth: Very popular for his “shit posts”
Szeth, of course, is 100% sincere the entire time.
Szeth: It is odd.
Szeth: The vent post I made that simply said “my talking sword is a bad conversationalist” has like a million notes.
Szeth: ...
Szeth: Tumblr is a strange place.

More SLA aus that are outlandish and niche
•Restaurant industry AU. Dalinar runs a Michelin Star restaurant, Sadeas owns a gross and cheap restaurant chain. Kaladin’s won best employee for about a year straight because even though his boss(Gaz) fucking hates him, the EOM is a vote but not like a council vote the EMPLOYEES vote and everyone just picks Kaladin
•Cultivations Champion AU. Probably thought up before but like. Cultivation starts feeling left out and steals one of Dalinar’s Radiants (totally kaladins its gna be kaladin) to make her Champion. And since the duel os between honors and odiums champion kal just stands there watching Ft. Kal with REALLY long hair
• A twist on the shakadolin love triangle that went on from wor-ob but its shallan and adolin fighting over kaladin. The Kholin family knows about this and is somehow completely unfased by this (Dalinars only complaint is like “heirs…:(“ but he. He gets over it this isnt the focus of the conflict and Kaladin is COMPLETELY oblivious to the entire situation Ft. An exceptionally better first impression between shallan and kaladin
• Kaladin isnt brought up as a surgeon or even like as a surgeons son and we’re reminded that Alethi actually encourage war and murder (our understanding of Alethi culture has been muddled by Dalinar’s honor and Kaladin’s INNATE “i dont like death” type thing. Adolin killing Sadeas is, illegal, yes. But also no one in Alethi culture would fault him at all??)
• jobs AU set not in modern times but like… kind of in the future??. Shallan is a Medical Illustrator, Adolin is. He doesnt have a job come on hes riding off of Dad’s money.(but he does attempt fashion stuff) Kaladin is an emergency physician (MY personal dream job, go kal), and Renarin is the Crazy Inventor (tm)
•not even remotely niche but the “this entire thing is just a show theyre actors” au. And they all conveniently have the same exact name as their role. Kaladin IS ACTUALLY Dalinar’s son irl and theyre so bad at acting on that part they had to write in that Dalinar was a father figureish to Kal. Rlly out of the blue but Venli (who has makeup on but the listener/singer appearance is mostly cgi) and Shallan are sisters, not revising my opinion on this. Everything else can be figured out later i just wanted to define those two things (this specific AU is something im kinda actually working on for Red Rising (sobs in half the cast is dead)

earlier this year I started collaborating with @thirdchildart on a visualization of the first chapter of Way of Kings... with both got caught up in other work though so for now at least we set it aside, with the hope to get back to parts of it one day. So here are some of the ideas for the main ball room of the Kholinar palace. It has been very interesting to practice surroundings and scenery since it is venturing out of my usual comfort zone... image descriptions below the cut:
[image description: various sketches for the layout of a very spacious ten-sided, almost circular room with several rises platforms and a surrounding balcony. The first image is a drawing of the king’s platform, stars leading up to a raised area under a tent-like canopy falling down from the ceiling and being propped up by the pillars and connecting arches that surround the rim of the plateau. Next to the staircase are small pools of water illuminated with sphere lights. Under the canopy the light of big chandeliers falls on the people and tables below. The lower half of the image contains schematic bird views of both the kings platform and the big ball room with its layout and three version of little nooks for sphere lights which are set into the stone pillars. The second image is a digital sketch in soft grey depicting a high overview of the big ballroom, showing the kings platform framed by to smaller ones for men and women. All three of those have similar canopies. There are two lower platforms joined to the smaller ones, with several staircases leading down to the dance floor. The schematic layout of the room is repeated in the lower right corner. It also shows the location of several fire pits distributed in the room. In the upper right corner is a small close-up of alethi lighteyed women chatting next to a geometrically shaped (bit like a ten sided dice) lamp on a stone post. The third image is a page full of sketches done in yellow colour pencil and ball pen, with digital shading on top. It has two images of the balcony lining the room and the walkway underneath. All shapes are very bold and angular with a tendency towards 60 degree angles. The big stone pillars that support the circular balcony thin out towards the ceiling. The solid broad parts on the bottom are decorated with rows of inset nooks for candles or sphere lights. triangular portions of the balcony walkway venture out into the room and the pillars. Over the heads of the people sitting and promenading on the balcony carved stone work wings out from the pillars back to the walls which are arching into a domed roof. Long vertical flags hang from the stonework, presenting the glyphs of the princedoms.  In the right hadn't upper corner there is a lighteyed couple displaying the current altho fashion. The details on the woman’s havah repeat the angles of the architecture. The man wears a long dark open coat with a skirted vest underneath. He holds a glass in his hand and sports a beard on his face. There is a written note next to his head reading “If king Gavilar wears a beard they are probably in fashion”. Below are different designs for vine glasses and goblets. ]

Day 22: Anything for you
Rated Explicit, Leshwi/transfem!Kaladin For notes on use of language for genitals, see ao3 notes Consider this the last chapter of Karma (rated Teen)
Kaladi flopped back onto the new, large bed that she and Leshwi now officially shared. “That was…intense,” she said, and let out a long sigh. “I don’t ever want to do that again.”
“The point of a wedding is that you won’t have to,” Leshwi said to Amusement, and flashed him the smile she’d been parading around all day for the humans’ sake. 
She climbed onto the bed, up Kaladi’s body, and then straddled her. “How easy it is to capture you now,” she mused. “Now I believe the ardents would want us to consummate.”
The words hardly penetrated her tired mind, as Kaladi was still dazzled by the woman above her. She marvelled at how Leshwi managed to maintain a calm, stately energy even as she started to undo the many, many buttons that held Kaladi’s wedding havah together. Leshwi herself had eschewed Alethi fashion, choosing instead to wear listener wedding clothing, in colours that matched her new wife. Those would be much easier to remove. 
Wait. Consummate? Did Leshwi even want that? Despite having thought about it many times, Kaladi hadn’t actually managed to ask about it yet.
Suddenly Kaladi felt very awake. “Do you? Want us to consummate?” she asked.
With the front of Kaladi’s havah spread open, Leshwi spread her hands across Kaladi’s broad, mostly flat chest, squeezing her small breasts. Kaladi gasped. She wasn’t used to being the one who was touched; with her previous girlfriends she’d been expected to do the touching.
Not to mention she wasn’t used to being so sensitive there. That was one of the things that had changed.
“Yes,” Leshwi said, “although…” Her Rhythm suggested Curiosity.
Kaladi tried to sit up, but Leshwi pushed back, forcing her to lay down again. “Although what?” Kaladi asked, making an effort at using Curiosity back to her.
“Although I am not in a reproductive form. I can evert my penis, but it won’t stiffen. It would feel good if you were to touch it, but there would not be any…juice?”
“Orgasm?” Kaladi suggested.
“That’s the Alethi word? It has changed since Alethela fell,” Leshwi said, then hummed to Curiosity. “I like to be touched, but it will not be the way of a human coupling.”
“Can you demonstrate how you want to be touched?” Kaladi wanted very much to do it right.
Leshwi hummed to Peace as she slowly took apart the rest of Kaladi’s clothing. She had Kaladi lay on her front, then traced her fingers over her body, pressing softly to ease her tense muscles, and making her feel even more sensitive. Kaladi could feel herself getting hard as she slowly rocked her ass back against Leshwi’s body, then ground herself into the sheets, feeling a heated throb between her legs. 
She moaned into the pillow, and Leshwi’s weight shifted as she moved to kneel beside her. “Roll over,” she said, and it felt like an order. 
Feeling a thrill of nervousness, Kaladi rolled over as ordered, exposing the front of her naked body to her wife for the first time. Leshwi hummed as she traced over Kaladi’s shoulders, her breasts, her belly, then lower still. Though Kaladi’s clitoris had shrunk to about half its former size after her realization, it was still large enough to emerge from her public hair, and it was fully hard. Kaladi swallowed and closed her eyes, listening for Leshwi’s Rhythm. 
Peace, she was pretty sure. Kaladi took a deep breath. Why was she nervous? Leshwi was just demonstrating how she’d like to be touched. 
“Your fists are closed, Kaladi,” Leshwi said to Peace. “Are you all right?”
This time, she let Kaladi sit up on her elbows. “There’s, well… there’s a certain way I treat my…self,” she said, and a small white petal fluttered beside her. "It's different than how you described it."
Leshwi removed her hand and hummed. "How would you like to be touched?"
A silence stretched out that Kaladi struggled to fill. She felt like a mess-a mix of trepidation, shame, and horniness, and to her embarrassment, horniness was winning.
“Tell me,” Leshwi said to Peace. “Don’t make me say it to Command.” 
One of Odium’s Rhythms. That was a joke.
Kaladi smiled. “Would you…Can I…” She shook her head. “Storms, why is this so hard to say?”
Leshwi leaned in and held Kaladi’s cheek. “My wife, I would do anything for you. I would give up the skies. I would face my past. I would…” she gestured downwards, “treat you how you want to be treated. I love you.”
Kaladi didn’t know whether to smile or cry, so she lunged forward to kiss her on the cheek. “Thank you,” she whispered. "I love you too."
A large, carapaced hand pushed Kaladi back down to the bed. “Tell me, Kaladi,” she said to a more insistent Rhythm.
She took a breath, then slid her hand down, showing Leshwi something she’d only ever done in private. “I like my, uh, clitoris, to be held down like this, against my body. And then I think it would feel really good if you, uh, licked it? Just the tip of it. I usually wet my hand and rub it like this.” She demonstrated, and storms, she felt incredibly hot with Leshwi's unreadable gaze on her. 
Leshwi nodded, then reached for her. “I can touch you like that,” she said, and brushed a thick thumbpad across her tip. “Your hands are no longer needed here,” she said, and used her other hand to take Kaladi’s wrists and hold them criss-crossed above her head.
“Storms, I forget how much taller you are than me sometimes,” Kaladi said in a shaky voice, then gasped again as Leshwi held down her clitoris with a firm palm. In seconds, her hot tongue found her bud.
Kaladi moaned and arched her back, but Leshwi held her still. The heat of her was intense, and the way she flicked her tongue across her clitoris…it crested mountains of pleasure that Kaladi had never climbed before. All she could do was squirm and try her best to moan to the beats of Praise. 
Just as she thought she couldn’t take any more, Leshwi pressed her lips to Kaladi’s clitoris and hummed a strong Rhythm that blew through Kaladi’s body like a Highstorm. She came with a panting cry, squirting clear fluid over herself. She looked up, thinking she was done, but Leshwi held her firm. Her humming softened, but she continued that Rhythm until all the waves of pleasure had finished washing through Kaladi’s body, and she stilled. 
“How was that?” Leshwi asked to Curiosity. She moved forward, licking her clitoris clean, then licking and kissing the wetness from her belly.
“It was…amazing,” Kaladi said, trying her best to attune Praise. 
“We can do that every day if you like,” Leshwi smiled.
Kaladi grinned, then sat up again, and Leshwi let her go. “Now it’s your turn,” Kaladi said, and fully intended to give Leshwi everything she wanted. “You lay down.”
Humming to a Rhythm she didn’t recognize yet, Leshwi removed her clothes, then lay on her belly on the bed. Kaladi straddled her ass and did her best to repeat the motions Leshwi had asked for, lightly tracing over the swirls of marbling over her carapace, then massaging her skin. Leshwi hummed to Praise, and Kaladi joined her softly.
For a while, Kaladi lost herself in the subtle waves of pleasure still echoing through her body as her eyes and hands roved over the back of her beautiful wife. Leshwi, she thought. I’m married to Leshwi. She almost couldn’t believe it. Despite the difficulty of the day, she believed she was perhaps the luckiest woman on Roshar. I could live my life all over again if I knew that Leshwi was going to be part of it. A fierce protective feeling washed over her, and Kaladi thought she might do anything to keep her safe.
Leshwi didn’t ask to flip over, so Kaladi worked on memorizing the lines of marbling across her back, counting the ridges of her carapace. She wanted to know everything about her, too.
After a while, she noticed that Leshwi wasn’t humming anymore. Kaladi slid off her and she didn’t move, except for the long, slow movement of her breaths.
She’d fallen asleep.
Kaladi’s heart swelled with an indescribable joy, seeing Leshwi asleep. Trying not to disturb her, Kaladi shuffled their blankets out from underneath her wife, then covered them both. There would be time to give her everything she wanted. For now, they could share this.
Laying alongside her large Fused wife, Kaladi simply watched her, face to face, and continued rubbing her back until she, too, fell asleep to the optimistic beats of Praise.

might be a bit of a reach but i think Jackrabbit by Sam Fermin is an Adolin song
Oh, I can kind of see it!
"Like your mother and your father too All grown up but they're just like you And you're going to do it all anew"
This fits with the themes of legacy, with how Dalinar sees Adolin as an improved version of himself. The pressure of that, and the way Adolin is following his father's footsteps in the army.
"Wanna live like an animal By the skin of your teeth Put your good face on, not foolin' no one You're a jackrabbit underneath"
Yeah, he's at home in a thinking-on-your-feet physical confrontation, from what I remember. Duelling guy. "Put your good face on, not foolin' no one" makes me think of Adolin navigating Alethi politics, chafing under the rules of politeness and propriety in war (and how when he acts alone he straight up murders Sadeas). He can play the fashion game, but I don't think he's a politician.
"Another day older And another day we go, oh no Alone again with all these people"
Augh... my guy. This reminds me of how he's the only non-Radiant in the main group, and how - before Shallan - he had quite the talent for making personal relationships blow up in his face.
Makes me wonder how much personal common ground there is underlying his relationship with Mayalaran.

I think it’s always incredibly funny when people try to claim Sadeas is femme because of American standards of masculinity. Like, to the Alethi, fashion is not necessarily a feminine thing; both men and women are seen obsessing over the latest folios. It doesn’t mean anything that Sadeas has long hair; notably masc Teleb also has long hair, not to mention Kaladin. Sadeas has the speech patterns of a queer-coded Disney villain, but that’s something that comes from our world and not the Alethi world. Sadeas would not be seen holding a book, trying to do math, painting a portrait, wearing a havah. He loves killing things and he loves combat and he loves being seen as masculine. Just because aspects of him seem, to the average American, like he is a regular Queen, does not mean that in-universe he is anything more than your standard toxic masc4masc Grindr hookup

I need a comprehensive timeline charting the development of Alethi menswear. In general, but also because I need to know how they went from wearing what I have to assume is just a hakama (it's a skirt, don't tell me it's not a skirt) to what would seems to be a very European style. Well, the uniforms are, anyway. I'm not sure about regular clothing. Maybe it's just fanart that's making it seem that way?
And at some point they went from man-skirt to tight pants to loose pants? Because Dalinar is banging on about how The Youths are wearing baggy pants and this is the downfall of civilization.
But the women, far as I can figure, are rocking a very Chinese look?
Nevermind, I need a comprehensive timeline of Alethi fashion, period.

Would Cosmere Characters Borrow Their SO's Giant, Comfy Sweatshirt?
A very important question. (SO = Significant Other, so, a romantic partner)
1. Siri: Yes
Susebron is a giant man, and so would have the most giant and fluffiest of all sweatshirts. Siri would absolutely be snuggled in that 150% of the time.
2. Susebron: Not at first
This is because he is too giant to wear Siri's sweatshirts. However, once Siri starts requesting sweatshirts that might double as a tent in an emergency, Susebron is at last able to wear hers (for a day. Before they are burned.)
3. Shallan: Yes
Adolin's large comfy sweatshirt smells like Adolin and she likes that.
4. Adolin: Yes
Other Alethi men are all, "You can't wear your wife's clothes. It is unmanly" but Adolin says, "My mom raised me toward a softer sort of masculinity and now I am more comfortable than you. Suck it."
5. Dalinar: No
Sweatshirts are not part of a regulation uniform per the Codes, and he cares deeply for the codes.
6. Amaram: No
Sweatshirts are not part of a regulation uniform per the Codes, and he cares deeply about seeming like he cares deeply for the codes.
7. Sadeas: Yes
Wearing his wife's sweatshirt is so daring it's fashionable plus it annoys Dalinar plus it is just so much more comfortable than that stupid Shardplate.
8. Vivenna: No
It is a sin to be comfy.
9. Azure: No
She must always be Ready for Action.
10. Sarene: In private yes
I think Sarene might not to wear Raoden's sweatshirt in public, as she likes to control how she appears to others, but in private? I think yes, she'd want to be comfy in Raoden's sweatshirt.
11. Raoden: Yes
I think he'd be tickled to wear Sarene's sweatshirt any time, any place.
12. Breeze: No
Allrianne's sweatshirts are too pink, too fluffy.
13. Allrianne: No
Breeze's sweatshirts are neither pink enough nor fluffy enough.
14. Steris: Yes
Only, of course, once they have been together long enough that stealing and wearing your partner's sweatshirt is socially acceptable and produces the right rumors about their level of intimacy (privately, though, she'd been wearing Wax's sweatshirts for a while).
15. Kelsier: Yes
Kelsier would definitely wear Mare's old sweatshirt, and he would smile doing it, but inside, I think his heart would be lowkey breaking.
