Got my friend into Stormlight. Don’t regret it one bit.

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 😔

I often think about Kaladin feeling at peace with the wind. Our boy deserves to be carefree every now and then. 💙 I think he looks pretty with the piercings so they stayed & I couldn't decide on an outfit, so I made both.

Sanderson gave Kaladin Marsh's worldview with Kelsier’s charisma and then gave Moash Kelsier’s worldview with Marsh's charisma and I think that was very funny of him.

#this quip peer-reviewed by people i was chatting with at jordancon so now i'm sharing it on tumblr #cosmere #stormlight archive #mistborn #moash #kaladin stormblessed #kelsier #marsh #cosmere junk box #for legal purposes (not getting hate mail from whoever occupies the 'fuck moash'/'kelsier did nothing wrong' crossroads) this is a joke

Many condolences to anyone who has had to wait YEARS in between the Stormlight archive books. I have been without Kaladin and Adolin for a few weeks at best and the voices in my head are back. Symptoms raging. Withdrawal severe.

#and SA 5 is only 8 months away #which is a lot #but not as much as some of you besties have had to wait through oh my God #stormlight archive #adolin kholin #kaladin stormblessed #way of kings #words of radiance #oathbringer #rhythm of war #wind and truth

today I had the urge to draw Adolin and then decided that he deserves to have his spouses loved ones with him. well... he did have Gallant in the first iteration.

The Stormlight Archive experience of "wow there's something weird about Kaladin" to "oh nvm he's just a radiant" to "yeah no there's something weird about Kaladin"

when i was young and thought that being a pessimist made you smart i relished in atheism as a way of calling myself rational and superior. but even though i cannot find myself at home with traditional religion i think i understand the concept now. i look to stories and books that show me a better way to be. maybe that person is jesus, or maybe its aragorn or maybe its dalinar. but also maybe its sam, maybe its kaladin, maybe its lopen. this is the human condition, to tell stories about someone who had it harder than us, but they made it through anyway because they were good and brave and they loved each other. or maybe they didn't make it through but they left the world better than they found it, which is all we can really aspire to
