I like to think that Kaladin happened to walk past Shallan and looked over her shoulder to see her drawing this one:

And just. didn't mention it to anyone. Because that's what horses look like to him anyway. He was like "damn this girl gets it" and kept walking

I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.

If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.

If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we’d never come up with those ears.

If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn’t know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.

We wouldn’t know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.

My point here is that we don’t know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they’d been all around us the whole time.

parts of mordred manor that are real and important To me:

the foyer, which used to be a part of the grand entrance to the manor but since the faeth-o'shaugnessey-barkrock-etc's have moved in has been converted into a mudroom to accommodate the amount of bags, weapons, material components, coats, shoes and other effects they end up dragging in

the living room, affectionately referred to as the den, contains 3 couches, one from Jawbone's old apartment (it only has a couple of claw marks on it), and the other two are from fig's childhood home (still slightly smoky from the house being set on fire) as well as a couple of lay-z-boys from lydia's. there are truly an insane number of blankets and the mantle over the fireplace is littered with photos of all the kids

the back porch is covered in half dead plants and cat bowls because sandra lynn feeds the stray cat colony that lives in the woods around the manor. there are a few rocking chairs and a porch string on the other side, though no one trusts the swing enough to sit in it

the kitchen is a mess. most of the dishware doesn't match and they have truly an impossible collection of mugs (everyone has Their Mug and it gets very political if it goes missing). fridge is covered in magnets and coupons and anything the kids (or adults) are particularly proud of

i have more but. yeah. i think about mordred Constantly
