Hiya, I'm an artist and a writer, and i mostly reblog stormlight stuff and lotr stuff. Any pronouns.(I also try to keep the "my art" tag on my blog all my art, but tumblr randomely puts other people's art in there, so if you see art that doesn't look like mine in there, please tell me so I can clean it out!)(My pfp and background are not my art btw. They're both by alvia alcedo, go google her, she's great.)
Full video here of this gastropod-specialized snake actually eating the snail, I just think these first few seconds are the new funniest thing in the world somehow
Kaladin: [stares at octopus]
Octopus: [stares at Kaladin]
Kaladin: So it...what? Is it one of those creatures that squishes down into crevices during storms? It doesn't look like it has bones.
Kaladin: Kinda big though. Would need a big crevice.
Octopus: [stares at Kaladin]
Kaladin: ...
Kaladin: I feel like it's judging me, somehow.
2. Bridge Four
Moash: Well, I don't like it.
Moash: An animal with no carapace is unnatural.
Rlain: ...You're an animal without a carapace.
Moash: W-Well, it's different for humans! We can build houses!
Drehy: Maybe the giant squish bug builds houses.
Drehy: We all saw it pick up the shell and put it on its head.
Skar: That's more fashion than construction, I think.
Sigzil: We saw it go into the water. It's a sea creature.
Sigzil: Sea creatures don't need carapaces like land animals do.
Moash: It's on the land right now!!
Skar: Guys, shut up! It's wearing a shell as a hat again!
Renarin: It really is quite fashionable.
3. Adolin
Adolin: Sure is weird looking!
Adolin: Look! It has little sticky cups under its legs!
Kaladin: D-Don't grab it! It's gonna bite you!
Adolin: I bet it can crawl up walls 'n' stuff!
Adolin: Hey, isn't that something you can do too, Bridgeboy?
Kaladin: I use Stormlight! Not sticky vine legs!
Adolin: Bet its some kind of tiny Windrunner.
Kaladin: It is NOT!
4. Shallan
Shallan: Hush, all of you.
Shallan: This thing is beautiful! Gorgeous!
Octopus: [abruptly changes color to match surroundings]
Shallan: !!
Shallan: Talented! Amazing!
Shallan: This might be the most important drawing I'll ever do!
Adolin: ...You drew me last week for our wedding anniversary?
Shallan: [already drawing] And you didn't even change color ONCE!
5. Lopen
Lopen: [staring intently at octopus]
Lopen: [staring intently at octopus]
Lopen: [staring intently at octopus]
Lopen: [concentration face]
Rock: ...You're trying to grow more arms, aren't you?
Lopen: I didn't know EIGHT was an option!
6. Zahel
Zahel: I've seem those things before.
Zahel: Very smart.
Zahel: Very tasty.
Rock: ...Tasty you say?
Shallan: NO
7. Navani
Navani: Seeing this bizarre creature gives me so many ideas.
Navani: Dalinar, do you think we should build semi-aquatic vehicles that can go on both land and water and develop color-changing camouflage technology?
Dalinar [trying to be a supportive husband]: And perhaps the land-water vehicle could have...tentacles?
Navani: No ideas are wrong in the brainstorming stage.
Navani: But also no.
8. Dieno (the Mink)
Dieno: [gives octopus a bro nod]
Octopus: [gives Dieno a bro nod back]
Dalinar: ...What was that?
Dieno: Ah, it is nothing! Just two master escape artists recognizing each other.
Dalinar: Escape...artist?
Dalinar: This creature has done nothing but sit on that rock and occasionally go into that pool this whole time.
Dieno: Yet nevertheless, people like us...we recognize each other.
Dalinar: ...
Dalinar: [doubtfully] If you say so.
9. Dalinar
It is later. Dalinar is walking through Urithiru.
Something from above touches his face with a thwick sound.
He looks up.
The Octopus is looking down at him from the ceiling, one tentacle reaching down. Lift is also in the ceiling.
Lift gives him a thumbs up.
Dalinar keeps walking.
10. Lift
Lift: Today has been the greatest day of my life.
Lift: I had no IDEA there so many vents 'n' shit that someone like you could squish through!
Lift: And when you used your dark water attack to push that button? Amazing!
Lift: Even I had trouble keeping up with you!!
Lift: Truly, you are my new best friend.
For my next pixel practice I limited myself to a color pallet of only 8 shades of blue, so I naturally had to draw my favorite blue girl <3 It was hard but I think some parts turned out alright :D
While in the warcamps Renarin and Adolin would sometimes have nights where they accidentally spend all night talking about special interests/hyperfixations and when Dalinar asks why they look so tired the next morning when they’re mildly sleep deprived Adolin shrugs and they’re both trying to hold it together until Dalinar leaves.
Each time they swear it won’t happen again but it happens about two or three times a month.
Damn. Renarin really just catapulted himself into my top 5 Cosmere characters overall. I don't think I've ever encountered a character with epilepsy in media, let alone fantasy before.
Also please the boy canonically has a fidget cube I love him so much. Certified skrunkly. I'm gonna be so normal about this guy going forward (lie)
