something something the fear of being vulnerable

Have decided to use tumblr like a diary again! It’s what the yapper in me deserves.

Now that I’m exiting the busyness of the last several months (planning for big trip, the big trip, then DATV), I’ve dived back into and am almost done with The Way of Kings (well I have 400 pages left BUT it’s 1,000 pages long SOOOO!!!) and shit is getting serious. Sanderson has set up such a strong foundation with the different character perspectives, FOR SO LONG, and I am fully attached to every single one.

I can’t significantly participate in fandom until I’ve finished the rest of the series with 5 books in all lol, so yelling into the void in the meantime will have to do! I HOPE to finish by this time next year. And that’s either way too far a goal post or not far enough. (I hauve ADHD)

But I haven’t been this swept up in a book series in far too long. I adore Kaladin SO MUCH. He is such an inspiration and so relatable. I’ve yelled in the tags about him before, and I probably will again, and Sanderson can weave such a rich and complex world in the most accessible way that manages to keep me engaged for an alarming amount of time (I don’t read a lot besides manga - it’s just hard for me to stay focused).

Like, it’s so over for me. I am LOCKED in for this ride and it’s so nice to look forward to. I firmly believe in having offline hobbies if u can and so this will help me with that!! Bc the Cosmere universe (within which many of Sanderson’s works take place including The Way of Kings aka book 1 of the Stormlight Archive) IS ENORMOUS. And this man cranks books out at a speed that concerns me lmao. I hope I stay engaged. It’s really been amazing so far. I highly recommend if you’re looking for an epic fantasy series to get into.

guys hear me out would painis cupcake pay taxes? Because he’s not like mega insane like ass pancakes I think he’d pay his taxes in my professional opinion.

okay like i want to preface that i do not have anything against the storylines that they are doing, i’m straight vibing with this season, having fun. i just want to say it’s a little frustrating to me that 911 keeps tacking on these buck and/or eddie centric “surprise” scenes at the end of an episode because then it becomes the big talking point of the episode after the fact and a lot of the other stuff that happened in it falls away to the sides a bit

i’ve talked about this before but like steven is genuinely Not a Well Man. like. he has some screws loose if you know what i mean. no one normal 1. works the night shift for 6 yrs on & off while everyone around them is either quitting or getting severely injured 2. goes “oh…. Huh,” when they KNOW they’re literally about to get brutally murdered

What you dont like about sanderson writing?! I'm starting to read his books and so far i like it, but i always appreciate other opinions

that’s fine, I’ve already stated plainly on my blog before that I can recognise why his books are probably enjoyable for a lot of people because he structures his stories in ways that make them very readable. a lot of people probably enjoy his plot twists too, although I always thought he was very cruel and cynical with his storytelling (re: specifically with how he pokes fun at himself and the genres he’s working with in a manner decidedly meant to evoke ridicule. like… where is your fucking whimsy! he has no respect for the artistic process of writing besides telling stories - and as a writer myself I can’t abide that kind of an author being paraded around as an aspirational figure) and very disconnected from reality (specifically with respect to Reverse Misogyny, Reverse Racism and Oppressed People Should Find A Middle Ground With Oppressors. it frankly disgusts me) besides being just terrible at handling any theme even if I can concede that some of his ideas are good (on that note, I think his worldbuilding is also very overrated, constituting a mish mash of different concepts that don’t quite cohere. you can tell that he used to run dnd games). I just think his stories are probably more comparable to pjo, writing and skillwise, and I enjoyed one of them better (it was pjo). I also outgrew young adult long ago, which means his works could never appeal to me even if he wasn’t Like That (whatever That means when you’re a kind of very privileged white mormon guy who has a very protective fan base). The problem that is the terrible quality of his work also mostly stems from pumping out 500k-1 million words a year. it’s just not possible for any of that to be very good, I’m sorry. at one point quantity does very much become indicative of quality. no good or sane writer would publish any of that material unless it was heavily, heavily edited (his books are not well edited either, but I feel sorry for whoever his editor is). I don’t think there’s a single line anybody could pull from his works that I would find poignant, meaningful or quotable precisely because of his tendency to put down on paper anything and everything that occurs to him (there’s a reason why his works read like a disjointed stream of consciousness). his works also convey the sort of smug, contented state of confident self-possession he’s managed to reach where he’s comfortable publishing any piece of bad writing (I’m saying this after reading the first couple chapters of tress of the emerald sea, so I don’t think anyone can really accuse me of not reading his recent and therefore, supposedly, better works) because he has an established fan base that’s ready to eat it up. he also does suck at writing women. like a lot. it’s a conversation that nobody is really ready for even when they critique the deplorable depictions of oppression and class dynamics in his books - his male characters are always the real stars of the show and are clearly very dear to him besides being the vessels through which he inserts a lot of religious commentary that specifically stems from his background. he also does (consciously and unconsciously) insert lot of conservative rhetoric in his books when he’s writing his female characters.

whatever - I’m not stopping you from enjoying his stuff. but to put it very crudely, I think his stories also suffer from the same issues that the mcu does.
