Every fantasy lover needs to go out there now and find a copy of The Way of Kings, book 1 of The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.
The world is so deeply fleshed out and I am in love with the magic system. Also Shallan is my child and I would die for her.
#just finished book 2#and I'm in shock at how good these books are#they are 1000+ page behemoths#but worth every minute#books#brandon sanderson#stormlight archive

đGet to Know My OCđ
Thanks for the tag, @rickie-the-storyteller! Check out hers here (I really love it)! For this round, I am choosing Blair from my WIP Crater City.
I am also tagging these people if they wanna have at it: @rubywrite @flock-from-the-void @my-cursed-prince @new-royston-cursebreakers @zestymimblo and @sam-glade!
There is a small Content Warning, so I slapped them in the tags.
...
In a small, concrete room sits a young man bound by ropes. He is slouched in a folding chair in front of a thick, wooden table. The spotlight that aims directly on his body accentuates his warm features: deep, brown hair that goes down to his neck, blush from acne scars, and a bit of stubble. He wears a pair of heart gauges, an aviator jacket, crocs, and jeans that look like they've fought in the nuclear war and come back to tell their tale. But alas, we are not interviewing a pair of distressed pants today.
He is beginning to come to after being knocked unconscious for the past 45 minutes (Well, itâs better to be safe than sorry).
Blair: Where the fuck am I? (he blinks, confused) Wait, am I being interrogated for my crimes? Now? (he squirms in his chair) I refuse to speak to a lawyer until proven guilty!
Elijah: Blair, listen! If we just do as we're told, we'll be fine.
Blair: Elijah? Youâre here, too? If I find out they hurt you-- (nearly tips over in his chair)
Elijah: No, I'm fine, I promise! Let's just get this interview over with so we can leave. Ok?
Blair: Yeah, whatever. But if anyone hurts you (The rope that tie him to his chair drop off his body all at once), I will smash my way through that mirror, grab them by the neck, and--
Me: Ok, ok! Let's get the interview started!
...
[1] Are you named after anyone?
Am I? (Blair looks around in thought.) I don't think so, the last I checked.
[2] When was the last time you cried?
(Blair sighs, throwing his hands on the table. You're sure things are about to get juicy.) Blair: On my way over here, actually! Some cop threw some tear gas at me. (pauses) Nah, I'm just kidding. I was actually having a panic attack about something...(Blair pauses to remember.) I think it was about how if Elijah somehow wound up in heaven and I didn't, would he just leave me behind or bunk with me in the pits of hell? I called him in the middle of the breakdown and everything, and he told me that he's not sure if there is an afterlife, but even if there was, he wouldn't leave me for a bunch of glorified bed sheet-wearing prudes. Then someone came up from behind me and smeared my face with a cloth, and that's how I ended up here! Elijah: (directly into the microphone from the booth) Me and Blair trade existential crises like trading cards. It's become our new favorite Saturday night event.
[3] Do you have kids?
Blair: Rose and Elijah said I shouldn't be trusted around other small, chaotic humans like myself because the last time that happened, an entire fifth-grade class started a traffic light rights campaign. Traffic was backed up for weeks because we âplanted the seed of rebellionâ in the minds of children. Elijah: No, the police said you "planted the seed of rebellion" in the minds of sentient bots, which I'm not sure how you managed to convince them to rebel in the first place. The children just started a new religion after the streetlights. Blair: I think what started it was when I was driving this parent and her kid somewhere and I cussed out someone driving in front of me for not respecting the traffic light when it told him to go.
[4] Do you use sarcasm?
Blair: Sometimes, yeah, but doesnât everyone? Like what even constitutes sarcasm, are there actually people who don't use it at all? That seems impossible. Is this a trick question? Like can--is that an amount I can measure? Like ok, so, if one entire day equals a gallon and I speak like probably six gallons, but super fast, as I tend to, then in order to measure how much sarcasm I use would probably be between three cups out of that. So to answer your question, I think so. Maybe? Sure. Elijah: What about for our metric system users out there? Blair: a few hundred milliliters? Fuck if I know. I didn't know I was gonna be quizzed on math equations. Me: The U.S. still hasn't fully converted to the metric system hundreds of years in the future? Elijah & Blair: Nope.
[5] What's the first thing you notice about people?
Blair: The way they sound or act. I can tell if you're gonna be a condescending ass wipe before you even speak. Like for example, the people who dragged me here reek of stomach acid and gravel. But Elijahâs general vibe is like yellow with little bursts of bright light and swirls, like an old-timey screen saver. Elijah: Like the ones you'd find on my uncle's computer? Blair: Is he really that old? (They both laugh)
[6] What's your eye color?
Blair: Black or brown. I'm not sure, I just stare in the mirror and then when I look away, I forget immediately. Elijah looks at them a lot, ask him. (he gives a sly grin at the one-way mirror) (Elijah turns bright red from behind the glass) Elijah: Next question!
[7] Any special talents?
Blair: I do knife tricks with my balisong! Elijah: And he texts me for bandages every other day, so I have essentially become his bandage delivery guy. Blair: Elijah, tell them how you got me Hello Kitty bandages to âdeter me from practicing.â Elijah: IâŚyeah. That didn't work. (Blair raises his hands to reveal neon pink fingers.)
[8] Scary movies or happy endings?
Blair: Scary movies because me and Rose and Elijah used to watch a bunch of gorey sci-fi movies together and laugh at the special effects. Or, at least me and Rose would. Elijah got angry we didn't take his nerdy movies as seriously as he did. Elijah: You just canât appreciate old cinematography! Blair: True cinematography is The Dinosaurs Before Time. But you wouldnât know since you always cry five minutes in and then we have to turn it off! Elijah: (standing up) Nuh-uh! Blair: (walking closer to the front of the room, imitating Elijah crying) âHe was born ten minutes ago and now his momâs dead?!â Elijah: (imitating Blairâs voice) âYeah, thatâs sad and all, but I think I could take on a T-rex with my bare hands.â No the fuck you could not! Do you have any idea how huge those bitches were? It'd eat you in one bite! Blair: Wow, youâre saying that just because Iâm short I couldnât do it. Low blow, Elijah. (The two, now inches apart the mirrorâs divide, bicker about the logistics of fighting a dinosaur and how fighting a rooster technically counts because if you ever had a rooster chase after you, itâs scary af.) Me: Andddd, moving on!
[9] Where were you born?
Blair: On the outskirts of Crater City in some podunk. It should still be there, it's where my mom and my old neighbors lived. Things were so much more friendly back there, which is a huge difference from living in the city. Elijah: Itâs crazy to be able to smile at someone on the street there and not get a death threat. Blair: Yeah⌠(he reminisces) Elijah: Are you thinking what Iâm thinking? Blair: We should buy 400 acres of land and become farmers after this whole thing blows over. Elijah: (laughing) And raise a rooster army to protect our crops from mutants! (They bounce eagerly at the prospect of changing their names and living a peaceful life in the country.)
[10] What are your hobbies?
Blair: I practice tricks with my balisong, piece together little bots as pets, draw cartoons, and play video games. I also collect soda tabs, scrap metal, car keys, keychains, road signs⌠(Blair counts on his fingers) Elijah: Did he say road signs? What he meant was abandoned materials left for dead! Perfectly legal stuff here! (he laughs nervously.) Blair: I also collect our wanted pictures because I think we look sexy in them. Elijah: Blair!
[11] Do you have any pets?
Blair: I don't have a "pet" pet, but Elijah does! Or used to! I'm not sure what happened to him. He was a hamster named Clip, short for Noclip. Maybe that's why he's still missing. Elijah: Yeah, I'm not sure what happened either. But he usually turns up when Blair visits. Blair: Itâs cause Iâm the cool and estranged relative who brings gifts every time he comes over. Elijah: And by âgiftsâ he means chip crumbs on the couch.
[12] What sports do you play/have played?
Blair: I've played volleyball for a bit in high school until they banned me from the team for spiking the ball too hard. But if the opportunity presents itself, why not take it? Elijah: You gave four people concussions in one season! (Elijah laughs at the absurdity) Blair: They made fun of me, saying I was so short I couldn't hit over the net! It's not my fault they underestimated my skills.
[13] How tall are you?
Blair: 5' 5." There, I said it. Now we can move on! Elijah: Your Honor, heâs lying under oath, he's actually 5'3.5��! Blair: I can detest! Elijah: You mean âattestâ? Blair: Hand me a fucking ruler right now! (Blair is provided a retractable ruler to measure his height) Elijah: Blair, turn it the other way. Blair: No, see? I am 5'5," and there's nothing you can do about it! Nothing! Unless you want to come over here and measure me yourself. (Elijah covers his face in his hands.) Blair: It's kinda suspicious he's so determined I'm shorter than I say I am. What, is he measuring my height in my sleep? I dunno, man, that's kinda weird.
[14] Favorite subject in school?
Blair: Robotics club counts, I'm pretty sure. Me and Elijah signed up for it and that's how we became best friends. It was the only class the teacher didnât yell at me for slacking off or falling asleep in. Elijah: Because it was the only class you actually liked. Blair: Yeah, and the teacher even helped me get a scholarship because she said I was a great asset to mankind or whatever. But I think she was just being dramatic. Elijah: You managed to make a living driving people around in hijacked auto cars, I think itâs safe to say youâre not a complete idiot. Blair: Only a little. Elijah: Yeah, weâre pretty stupid. But not that stupid.
[15] Dream job?
Blair: I think I'd like to still build bots but definitely at my own pace instead of at a factory or business. It's too stuffy in places like that and it gets too repetitive after a while. Elijah: (confused) Blair, your passengers offer you to do contract work all the time. Blair: Elijah, Elijah. I don't think you understand... (There is a long pause.) Elijah: Are you gonna finish that thought? Or did you forget it halfway? Blair: No, I just didn't care enough to finish what I was gonna say. Hey, you wanna get some curly fries after this? All this pouring my life out shit is making me hungry. I almost forgot why I was even here. (Blair stretches) Oh my God, actually, you guys should interrogate Elijah next! I wanna see how long it takes for him to crack under pressure. Elijah: Blair, those questions were hardly invasive. Blair: I think you should throw some hardballs at him. Like do you eat oatmeal with a spoon or fork? Do you salt your watermelon or eat it unseasoned? Do you wash your rice with soap? Elijah: Who the fuck washes their rice? (Blair wears a look of abject horror.)
Me: And that is all the time we have for this interview! Thank you for your participation, Blair and Elijah! Now, if you could make your way to the exitâ
(Elijah hurries out of the studio, followed by Blair, who has burst from the interviewing room. Blair chases him down the hall to the exit, all the while shouting a step-by-step guide on how to prepare rice. You have a feeling his ancestors would be very proud of him, if not for the atrocities he has committed.)

day before a 5 day holiday weekend. office empty. got me thinking thoughts.
#thinking about raupi kaur hollie mcnish and the movment of populist poetry#how all media is populist right now and itâs no surprise its happening in a time of economic uncertainty AND a devaluation of art in society#not to mention a rise in anti intellectualism#thinking about how fanfiction is no longer a practice for writing but more an opportunity to get likes and reblogs#every day I see posts about how authors feel pressured to write for a specific character because all others are ignored#to you I say the mass market appeal is NOT worth you writing something you donât care about#your audience of 20 will be more endeared to you BECAUSE you are feeding their niche#thinking about the inherent dichotomy between art and money because once you create for the common denominator you lose something#look at marvel movies - hell the state of movies in general: ZERO intellectual curiosity#everything is made to be consumed by the most amount of people#and it SUCKS ITS FUCKING GARBAGE#art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable#if everyone finds your work palatable then itâs not art itâs content to consume#RANT OVER#⌠or for the next 20 minutes until I get another thing to Think About

Quotes from Kieran that straight-up sound like Shakespearean love poetry: a comprehensive list
âNone may touch me. None but you.â
âWhat is left of my heart belongs to you. When you leave, it will shatter anew.â
âTell me I did not hurt you.â
âHow am I expected to pass another century without the taste of you on my tongue?â
âAfter so many decades spent hating each sunset, knowing nightfall would take my freedom from me... I began to yearn for the moonrise instead of cursing it. Because dreams of you might be waiting on the other side.â
âI would rather be cursed to roam the wilds as a beast every night than live endless lifetimes without you.â
âWherever it is that souls may go, you will find mine waiting for you at the end of all things.â
âYou shall pay dearly for every spilled drop of her blood.â
âI was not lying. Were you?â
âJust this once, beloved... I wish you could not lie.â
âYou hold all of my heart, beloved. Now, and always.â
âI would make and unmake the world for you, beloved.â
âBelieve me when I say I want every part of you. Every version. Now and future.â
âLook, beloved. Your skin is a canvas covered in stars.â
âIf I were you, I would begin by thanking her and throw yourself on her continued mercy. Because youâll get none from me.â
âWhat would be the point of immortality without you?â
âNo magic. Like an everyday mortal.â
âInsult her again, and I will carve my refusal into your flesh, so that you may never forget it.â
âI donât care what your title is. Every breath, every beat of my heart belongs to you. You are mine for life.â
âThank you⌠for sharing the sky with me.â
âIf you lay a single hand on her, there will be nothing left of this place but a hole in the ground.â
âLet us live in this moment long enough that I may love you the way you deserve.â
âI will let nothing separate us⌠I shall always find you. Your heart calls to mine in a language beyond words.â
âFor you I would set worlds aflame, tear the sun and moon from the sky. I did not live before I met you.â
âPerhaps you are the most courageous of all, for choosing to live among us. A mortal among gods.â
âWelcome home, beloved.â
âYou helped me find peace in my grief. I will always help you find peace in yours.â
âYou sacrifice too much for me, beloved.â
âI cannot give you my heart. It already belongs to someone else.â
âThere will always be tasks vying for our attention. But you are more important to me than any of them.â
âI like being in here. I always want you to have the freedom of a place to call your own⌠and it means everything, that you welcome me in.â
(And finally, BONUS: Quotes from *other* characters in The Cursed Heart that straight-up sound like Shakespearean poetry, because the writers of this book just do. not. rest.)
âI know you. Iâm not afraid.â
âI love him so terribly, it hurts.â
âYou are so much stronger than you know. And a love as strong as this is worth fighting for.â
âEven if you kill me, Iâm glad I met you. Because you deserve to be happy. You deserve to be loved. And I will love you until my very last breath.â
âThe world is rarely gentle to those who are so kind. It is you who must be the strongest of all.â
âWhat do you want with that cursed thing?â / âTo cut the Sun and the Moon from the sky.â
âAnything here that wishes to eat me had best prepare to choke.â
âI know you. And I love you. Both your darkness and your light.â
âYou are everything I want. Just you. Just like this.â
âIf love could forestall death, we would all be immortal.â
âAll stories end. Even ours. Thatâs what makes them beautiful.â
âI donât care where I sleep, so long as itâs beside you.â
#UPDATE: the series is finished and so is this list#and i am so so sad to say goodbye to it#but what a journey itâs been#playchoices#choices: stories you play#the cursed heart#kieran x mc#prince kieran#fandom essay#original post#prev tags:#i went back through every screenshot iâve ever posted to make this list#and i will continue to review every screenshot i ever take#and it was and will continue to be worth every minute#this book deserves an award

I miss the era where Batman Dick would always freak out when he hears that Damian is fighting someone alone and everyone assumes its because he's worried about his safety, when in reality he's worried about the safety of the people fighting him.
#I miss when he was allowed to be badass#I think I might do a reread of Damian's appearances pre-N52#sure it would be annoying to constantly be reminded every 5 minutes that he's a brat by other characters#but it would be worth it to see him acting like himself again#Damian Wayne#Dick Grayson

This is my final for one of my graphic design interactive media class...LMAO I would have liked to do more but I was going over the time limit. One of these days maybe I'll be able to expand upon this + improve the black sabbath scene + etc.
#me art#devilman#ryo asuka#akira fudo#ryokira#we were given less than two weeks to work on this... on top of a bunch of other projects expected to be completed#a lot of my peers I saw were doing simply just lyric videos and having fun with like transformations in adobe after effects#which in retrospect is probably a better idea than what I did which is. as you can see. hand drawing every panel for like 2 minutes worth#of content. I hope I will be able to have energy to pull through and finish this term.... after everything I've been having to deal with#I really hope this will not be my last graphic design class :')
