#highstorm

[starry-stormy-knight]

this piece caused me so much hell and pain lmaoo but this idea was the namesake of this blog so i persevered 💪😔

anyway the Battle of Narak inspired by van Gogh's style!

i don't remember how and when this idea popped up in my brain, but i guess i made some connection between the highstorm and Starry Night and i wanted to do my own take

i swear i did a thumbnail sketch to figure out what in the world i was going to do but apparently didn't do a value sketch, or not in a concrete way because i had so many lighting problems lmaoo like this whole affair would have been so much easier if i did the bright highstorm on the left with narak for contrast, rather than the dark on dark sigh. this isn't even going into the horrible time i had trying to do the everstorm because i wanted it to contrast in style as opposing forces

actually the thing that unlocked something in my brain was to go light to shadow (the opposite of my typical process) and i suppose it can tie into the dark otherness of voidlight perhaps?? anyway i just embraced the chaos, with the help of volcano eruptions with storms for references lol

i did have the shattered plains more brown, but i did the distant background to reflect van Gogh's Wheat Field vibes and it was so weird to look at, but when i made them more cool toned it kinda brought everything together?? i hope??

anyway hope you guys like this hahah <3 bon appetit or whatever

The Starry Night (1889) and Wheat Field with Cypresses (1889) by Vincent van Gogh

yet another cosmere question

does the highstorm move all the way across the ocean to the other side of the continent or does it go in a circle or does it disappear and reform elsewhere

I'm at that moment in Words of Radiance when Dalinar tells Kaladin he needs to learn to ride a horse and Kaladin is terrified . . . 😂

#the man will jump across chasms #he'll fight shardbearers #he survived a highstorm #but horses are too much. horses terrify him. #i just love kaladin #kaladin stormblessed #words of radiance #the stormlight archive #cosmere #reread

[peachdoxie]

This is one of those moments where I imagine Brandon laughing to himself while writing it, because that's almost exactly what happened to Kaladin in the Way of Kings. I can't believe this was not deliberate.

Whatever cosmere adaptation gets made it should be a full length movie that goes in movie theaters and here’s why: because I want to go to the movie theaters with a group of people who haven’t read the books and listen to their gasps of shock at small things as I smugly sit there knowing what happens later on.

#like imagine twok movie gasps of shock at the first bridgerun. can’t WAIT for them to see the highstorm trial or Kaladin swearing the ideal #or Warbreaker gasps of shock with nightblood just you wait until we go to the basement… #Mistborn gasps of shock when kelsier kills someone just you wait for the twist of a fuckin lifetime guys #not spoiling mistborn because Mina’s reading it and I can #cosmere #cosmere adaptation

[voidedparts]

ah yes, the normal behavior of not reading a book for several months and then being hit by the vibes and thus spending all day reading and finishing 362 of the 545 remaining pages

normal behavior

#voided 💬 #this is about words of radiance #cosmere #stormlight archive #It was easy because there were plenty of kaladin chapters #idk how to tag stormlight stuff ig this is good enough #i was so engaged i had a dream about a highstorm #that's impressive

MC of the Month: Kiera Tomoe

Please welcome our second MC of the month! Each month, we will highlight one MC or OC that is currently on our Meet my MC / OC List. The MC / OC is selected randomly on the Wheel of Names, and eligibility requirements can be found here. We accept MC / OC profiles on an ongoing basis. Please feel free to send yours in!

This month's MC of the month is...

@julia-highstorms ' s Kiera Tomoe

Learn more about KIera and her creator, Julia, below.

In your words, tell us what you like most about your MC. Although I have written Rei (OPH MC) for a few years now, Kiera is the first MC I have created with an actual backstory and personality defined before I started writing. And this made me very fond of her, as she feels like the most realistic character I've ever created, along with Eli.

2. Do you feel your MC is like you at all? How are you alike or different? Apart from killing zombies, Kiera's personality is similar to mine: we're both pragmatic. Kiera prefers a hands-on approach rather than wasting time theorizing, so she usually makes decisions fast and firmly, not thinking twice (just like me lol). We share the same MBTI, ISFP. Kiera is also demiromantic, like me.

3. What is most important to your MC? What is their motivation in life?

Considering the situation they're living in - an apocalyptic world -Kiera's motivation isn't different from the others around her: surviving. After she meets the others and they founded the colony, as their leader, she also does everything within her willpower to make Olympus strive. And who knows, maybe find a cure, like they could do with Eli.

4. What are their biggest pet peeves? Dirk is her pet peeve 😂 seriously though, people who are excessively negative or who are always whining but don't help are what annoys her the most. So, Dirk.

5. If your MC could change one thing - anything - what would it be? Not live in an apocalyptic world lol 

6. What is your MC’s favorite song? At the Tower, they were forbidden to get access to music, books, and anything related to the "old world" from before the outbreak. So her favorite song would be the only melody Eli knows how to play on the guitar.

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your MC: if you'd like to know more about Kiera, access the Character Profile + Playlist I have created about her.

Thank you for sharing Kiera with us, Julia! You can all learn more about Kiera Tomoe here.

KALADIN HANGING HALF DEAD FROM THE WALLS OF URUTHIRU WHY CANT MY POOR BOY CATCH A BREAK

One thing I will say about Dalivani is that it answers the age-old question: what if an undiagnosed-autistic mom and an undiagnosed-autistic dad fell in love

#at the risk of over sharing on my tumblr dot com I do not think Navani and I approach him sexually in any comparable way because she is #simply too straight about it #but I see Navani writing down Detailed Dalinar Notes during the highstorms for Research Purposes and feel seen #luke.txt #I need a dalivani tag for blacklisting. if the sadeases get trigger tagged dalivani gets trigger tagged too. bitch. #pulpy drippy orange juice #sure

#forgot how moash canonically went walking around in a highstorm hello #CHASING HURRICANES CAUSE I CANT FEEL THE RAIN SECOND GUESS MY PAIN CAUSE IVE BEEN WALKING ROUND IN CHAINS??? #REAL???

[spooky-lestibournes]

Heeey I'm so so sorry but your boyfriend got overthrown by his own government. Yeah he left a loophole in the constitution that allowed the assembly to do that. I know, I know, I should have seen it coming, with his uncompromising idealism. Sorry again.

back when my lit class read antigone we had a conversation abt how creon's punishment of antigone is absolutely a death sentence, but the way in which it's done allows for there to be some shifting of blame away from creon. like, creon says something like, "if she's truly innocent, the gods will save her," thus allowing him to wash his hands of guilt, despite him being pretty certain that she's going to die. i don't really have a point to this beyond telling you all to think about the way of kings with this in mind

#like yeah it applies to kaladin & the highstorm thats what im going for #but theres also contrast w moashs grandparents. where religion is presumably not brought into play but their death is still #''removed'' from the realm of elhokars responsibility in the context of govt #idk idk been rotating this in my mind for a while #sla #matt speaks

Successfully might’ve just intimidated someone by being too neurodivergent about stormlight

#in my defense he did ask for more about stormlight #what I don’t think he was expecting was a rundown of how the books set up #and a loose description of the plot and the characters it follows #but I didn’t even say anything about darkeyes and lighteyes or spren or the Rosharian ecology or Vorinism #or much about the crab people or anything about the knights radiant or anything about the shardblades or the highstorms. #and I STILL had four different huge blocks of text
