Shallan is such a funny character because 85% of the time reading her story’s like, “oh my god this is some of the most gut-wrenchingly compelling character writing I’ve ever seen” and then 15% of the time she’ll say something and it’s just… you can’t be talking like that lighteyed baby…

I couldn't really settle on anything specific for this prompt, so I just used it as an excuse to draw Vin. It's been a month or two since I last used inks, so it was nice to get back into that.

On top of coursework, my iPad also broke. Which, that's just great. I'm not sure whether I'm gonna be able to keep up and finish inktober. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up over the weekend, and it's a good excuse to focus on my ink drawing more, but I could've done without that this week.

I actually ended up reworking a lot of Moash’s plotline in Rhythm of War.  Originally Kaladin was going to give him a medal that said “you were right for killing Elhokar actually” and then French kiss him.  I had to cut it because I realized there’s no France on Roshar.

the bornful mister

[copperminds]

guys I got distracted

Crawling breathing screaming—

Pain?

No—wait—what?

Cold so very cold.

Burning burning burning burning burning—

Silence. Absolute. Resolute. Desolate.

The Desolations.

His mind spun, sensation crashing in waves as agonies washed over him, threatening to shatter his last remaining sanity. Have to hold out, the others are waiting.

How long had he been here, locked in this cave was it? Time passed so strangely here. Sometimes it felt like eons since they had last spoken, other times like mere minutes.

Why was he here again? 

You were abandoned?

That doesn’t sound right.

They would never leave me here, would they?

He attempted to move, even a fraction of an inch, but the Void Lashings that held him in place would not ebb. How do they manage to keep these up for so long? Ha sir been that long? What am I doing here I should be helping? What—

Ah. That.

Was it necessary to surrender their Blades? And what had happened in the wake of his death? Had the others helped humanity recover? Had it been long enough for something of note to happen? 

How long had it been?

He could hardly remember the words now, what with pain clouding his mind, and centuries taking thei toll. Had it been centuries since the last Desolation? Or a bare handful of years? The Voidbringers will not say.

Perhaps they don’t know themselves.

But once again, was it necessary to leave me here? Was it necessary to leave me here alone? Was it necessary to leave?

And what if the Oathpact? Does leaving me alone break our contract?

Was that ever in the stipulations?

A Lance of fire in his soul

Was this truly what we agreed to?

How did we fall to this?

How long had it been since he had last felt the touch of the sun?

*****

Braize was unusually cruel. Not bevessarily the people, though they were as well, but the world itself. The Sun, if you could call it that, was a deep, fiery red, unlike any seen on his homeworld. Where did they go?

He sensed a commotion, perhaps a Fused to torture him once more? They were over due for it. 

Yet he didn’t know how much he could endure. The others often commented on how he “never broke under the pressure,” but was it truly something to be proud of? It just so happened that someone always broke before he did. Maybe it was just luck. And pain, so much agony.

He lifted his head a little, in hopes of seeing ost the fog of— red? black?— in his vision. 

Nothing.

Maybe it was just an argument. Tanavast knows there’s far to many of those up here. Is this even up? How many time have I wondered where I am? Is this real? 

A clang of metal?

A hisnof pain.

A crack of stone on stone.

A snap of bone.

And a shock of red hair.

How could Chanarach be here? 

Did she—

No she’s better than that.

Could do long have passed that she fell to an outside force?

Honor above, is there anything left on Roshar?

What happened to kill a Herald?

***

Three meetings.

Three Cultivation-forsaken meetings with the Fused.

How?

How long had it been?

The Sun was so bright on his skin, the wind in his hair overwhelming.

And the lack of pain, euphoric?

What was this sensation.

How long had it been?

How long have I been gone?

How long?

How long?

How long to let the world progress like this?

He felt tears sliding down his face. Maybe his abandonment was worth it. Maybe his suffering for centuries (?) was worth it.

But where did Chanarch go?

She was the one who broke. Maybe she came here unstable. She never broke that easily, none of us did.

Would people recognize him anymore? Even though the torture was mental, would people remember him? Would they scorn him? Or would they hate his brethren?

What would the world think?

How long had it been?

***

Four millennia.

***

I am sorry.

***

Broken?

No.

Shattered.

***

Weaponless.

***

It’s dark so very dark.

I feel the Lashing coming back in.

I can’t breathe the sky is fine the caves are back.

Oh honor I can hear their screams.

Save me?

How long had it been?

***

Light?

***

Who am I?

Am I?

What?

Fire.

***

Hot, yet cold?

Pain, but not?

Screams?

Honor release me from this curse.

*** 

I am Talenel’Elin?

Herald of War.

***

“Bearer of Agonies”

***

The time of the Return, the Desolation is near at hand.

We should? We have to? 

We must prepare.

***

World… forget me.

***

How long had it been?

How long had he been locked away?

Sun so far.

Broken?

***

You must bring me to your king? No, leaders.

You must bring me to your leaders. The other Heralds should join us soon.

***

Black.

***

How long had it been?

How long had it been?

***

How long had it been.

How long had it been?

***

Free.

How long till I see them again?

How long will it be?

How long will it be?

Tyn said she “rather liked” that women in Reshi and Iri go about topless

Likely intended meaning: Tyn enjoys being topless herself and is a tomboy conwoman

Fun implication: Tyn is a butch conwoman who likes to see naked women

I like to think most of us prefer aroace Kaladin as canon (me included) but ngl the thought of him having to go to his tippy toes to kiss leshwi after just trying to kill each other is just *chef kiss*

Elend walking into the Koloss camp in Well of Ascension after stabbing!? A man (his alleged best friend!?) and going absolutely berserk strides into a Koloss CAMP and shouts “PRISON RULES BITCH” and immediately stabs the smallest little bitch ass koloss he can find within stabbing radius.

Elend what the fuck!? Why wouldn’t Vin love you!? You’re fucking batshit you watched her explode a man’s head and was like “how could I ever satisfy this goddess” like that’s a normal ass thing to find HOT. IN YOUR PARTNER.

Of course Vin loves you. Whether she accepts it or not you perfectly match her freak even though it is an Extremely Specific freak.
