“hmmm Shallan has been looking kinda bored lately, maybe I should take her to a dark scary street tonight and kill some guys in front of her to spice things up” -Jasnah probably

There were so many good moments but this one made me tear up unexpectedly
Another scene that should be in stormlight archive book 5
There is a commotion outside the tower. Even though there are 10 days left. Both sides are going to be making moves.
Kaladin sees the early signs of conflict and is worried. Humans and singers are about to clash. They had been called to discuss a seize fire but on both sides there are those who bent on fighting.
Kaldin looses it. In a fit of cold rage he jumps into the sky.
"Windrunners!" He calls out. Tho he no longer A soldier. Every windrunner and squire joins him in the sky without question.
"There will be no more fighting" kaladin roars. His voice like the storms. Eyes ablaze with a tint of red.
"In 10 days the war will end. There are many among you who just want to life. You are free to join us. I and all of the windrunners will protect you. Humans or singer or anyone. And if you wish to fight we'll fight you too"
A regal flie out to attack kaladin but he finishes him swiftly.
Then slowly the murmmers die down.
Kaladin calms and gets back to the clinic like nothing happened.
Some time later kaladin is walking through the tower when we sees solders rushing forward. Some singers had accepted their offer to enter the tower till the war ends. Many had returned to alethkar.
He grunts as he goes to investigate. Queen is there surrounded by guards. Who are facing singers with spears who are defending somebody on the ground.
Moash.
Kaladin suppresses the surge of anger. Looking at his former, now blind friend. Surround by singers.
"The traitor needs to be punished for his crimes" navani says.
The singers object. These are the singers that kaladin had helped. They see him but say nothing. They are still bitter with him.
"We won't let you take him" the singers yell.
"He is a traitor and dangerous. We cannot let him roam free" snarls a solder.
"Leave him in our care. We will take full responsibility for him. He... he's our friend"
Kaldin is torn.
Just then an impatient solder rushes out to attack the singers. Before kaladin can interfere. The singer disarms the solder and subdues him on the floor.
A move that kaladin recognized. The same move moash used on kaladin when kaldin had tried to go after dunny.
Kaladin steps forward glowing which shuts everyone up before a fight can break out and asks, where the singer learned that move.
The singer answers that moash taught them. That he helped them and protected them when kaladin betrayed and left them so they wouldn't be helpless.
Everyone is silent before kaladin advises singers to keep a close eye on moash from now on and walks away while moash makes a snide remark but kaladin keeps walking.
KALADIN!!!!
helen “trans people are perpetuating gender steriotypes” joyce is now upset that the scientific american is writing about how women were hunters too back in the day, not just mothers and caretakers. feminist win!
All of these.
Cosmere books as bad news headlines
• "Young woman of questionable parentage kills god after eating copious amounts of metal"
• "Apple voice assistant marries mute rainbow god after sister defeats army of undead alongside hobo and talking sword"
• "City of zombies saved by angry man in armor and friendly chef's niece"
• "Depressed people snort lightning, use it to fight lobsters the size of battleships." (idea credit to @Elisabeth_Wheatley on YouTube)
• "Cowboy makes deal with the new god"
• "Girl and mouse boyfriend undo curse on cabin boy"
• "Man cheats death by stabbing his own eye, forms intergalactic gang"
• "Young woman stacks rocks to destroy computer"
• "Dehydrated young man unites senators against himself"
• "Man with PTSD breaks All the Rules, upsets mentor while running from sunrise"
• "Man(??) avoids eternal punishment from several sources while roasting everyone in existence"
It's the coolness factor. Stories should be realistic but they also have to be cool. Also mind get used to it once it realizes that it can just heal.
i'm so mad at the way physical traumas are treated in stormlight. Like yes even when you get heal by stormlight being hacked at the spine to the point of paralysis over and over again or having an arrow impaled through your face would absolutely be a traumatic experience, but this got treated like it's just a cool fighting sequence and our heroes are just that badass. Like??? Why is neither the characters nor the narrative talk or even mention it??? The books want to realistically portray mental illness and then completely failed to also realize that being radiant also means you're experiencing even more traumas?? A lot of this just feels like mindless action scene and glorification of violence tbh
More scenes for stormlight archives future books.
A mysterious cloaked figure is walking through the tower.
A war meeting is going on. Wit is his usual asshole self. He then suddenly perks up and starts to pour two drinks.
Pattern starts to buzz nervously.
Everyone pauses as the shadow of the figure stretches into the room.
Everyone is quiet. Dalinar stretches to his full height as the stormfather rumbles ominously.
The figure speaks. "We need to talk bondsmith. Things have changed"
"Who are you?" Dalinar asks. "Thadikar. Leader of the ghostbloods"
Immediately shallan and jasnah become alert. Summoning their shardplate and attacks but thadakar either dodges or simply can't be hurt.
He calls for his subjects and suddenly one soldier comes forward and its mariaze. Then hoid gives thadakar the drink and takes a sip of his.
Kelsier tells them that they must work together and everyone is doubtful.
Explains his deal with gavilar and tells them what a monster he was.
Until he pulls out devices that has the conversations of that night recorded.
They are about to listen to one when Navani stops them and tells them that maybe they should just hear him out.
He enjoys using the power. His story is about the struggle between who he is and who he wants to be and who he is taught to be. In regards to his powers he's more like adolin.
He enjoys being powerful then hates himself for that enjoyment.
He has opinions and rage but he tries to be passionless cause he thinks it's the right way.
He's just a small wet meow meow.
szeth is all like "I hate killing people. I hate myself for killing people. Why must I kill people all the time" and then every time he fights it's the most elaborate fight scene ever. There is ONE GUARD and he lashes him upwards, binds him to the ceiling, puts his own spear under him, and then waits for the lashing to run out so the guard falls down and is impaled. and every fight scene is like that. if you think murder is morally wrong why did you do that to him
I actually don't know why don't more people ship kaladin × Jasnah. It's so similar to kaladin × lashwi.
1. They are both experts of their fields
2. They respect each other (grudgingly for style points)
3. They are both feared / respected
4. They think opposite to always be bickering
which Is perfect
5. They HAVE to work together to achieve
success. They can't do it alone.
6. If they get together shallan will write smut fic
of them.
7. Both are about individual Freedom.
8. They are both shallan's type
All the elements of a perfect ship is there!!!
What Your Preferred Kaladin Ship Says About You
[Minor spoilers for Stormlight]
Can the ships you like and/or write fanfiction for and/or read fanfiction for reveal something about you? Let’s say the answer is yes–what might your preferred Kaladin ship(s) say about you?
1. Kaladin x Shallan
That scene in the chasms really got to you. You want to see two broken people raise each other up, preferably with a good helping of snark. Either that, or your love language is boot-stealing.
2. Kaladin x Adolin
You like a good rivals-to-lovers relationship, and you have a slight humiliation kink–it’s why you find yourself reading “bridgeboy” as romantic.
3. Kaladin x Adolin x Shallan
Unlike Brandon Sanderson, you are no coward.
4. Kaladin x Moash
You enjoy suffering.
Or perhaps you just wish Sanderson hadn’t dropped the whole “the Alethi social system needs to burn” angle and still had Kaladin fighting against the system alongside Moash.
Which is to say–you enjoy suffering.
5. Kaladin x Lezian
You also enjoy suffering. The suffering of the characters, that is.
6. Kaladin x Lyn
Your ship was canon, but oh how briefly. I have to assume you write/read fix-it fanfic.
7. Kaladin x Lewshi
You love a good, respectful, enemies to lovers slowburn. You say things like, “It’s about the yearning.”
8. Kaladin x Renarin
I think you are probably a sweet person who wants only the best for your ships. You may have done a lot of research into epilepsy and how a fantasy doctor would talk about it.
10. Kaladin x Elhokar
I assume you are the type of person who says things like, “I want to put this man into a mason jar and shake him vigorously.”
11. Kaladin x Szeth
You probably have high hopes for the Shinover field trip.
12. Kaladin x Rlain
You’d like to see these men explore their emotions…and presumably each other’s bodies.
13. Kaladin x Jasnah
You said “ace rights” and meant it with your whole chest.
14. Kaladin x Dalinar
You wish that a big strong man would look you in the eye and say in his deep, manly voice, “Your job is bad for your mental health. Quit right now. That is not a suggestion.”
15. Kaladin x Sleep
You just want to wrap Kaladin in a warm blanket until he feels better.
That is to say, you love crack ships.
Another scene that should be in the next stormlight archive book:
There is a big meeting about what to do. Shallan finally muster up courage to ask Jasnah for help.
Then everyone quiets down when a hooded figure walks in.
Dalinar asks who it is.
He says that he's Thaidakar, Leader of the ghostbloods. Jasnah and Shallan immediately suit up. Attacks him but thaidakar overpowers them. Hoid pours tea. Insults Thaidakar.
Thaidakar reveals that things have changed. Orders Mraize to work with Jasnah to find a way out their new problem. Mraize grudgingly agrees.
Rest of their chapters involves Mraize and Jasnah fighting over shallan's custody, trying to one up each other.
Raises hand ✋!!
raise your hand if you’ve sworn an Ideal/ spoken a Truth through tears at 2 AM *raises hand*
Shout out to ELISTA for being the most relatable character, after shalan.
This art style is inspiring. Thank you.
Adolin immediately after whitespine uncaged
coming back online to remind people that it's HIS YEAR and then logging off again
Wtf this was SO GOOD!! I'm OBSESSED some of the most classic and best scenes and characters. 😭

OBSESSED I need more. I hope they make more!
Do you love the colour of the syl?
kaladin and moash drawn 4 a friend art trade 😵💫👍
BG3 Companions and their Knights Radiant Orders, according to me
Every time I consume a piece of media I must sort the characters into their Orders. I could be convinced either way on Minsc and Lae'zel in this case, but the others are solid.
