#Is there a warbreaker fandom on tumblr?

[no-0ne-0f-consequence]

Warbreaker as a Story About Growing Up

I recently (within the last several months) read Warbreaker for the second time, and it struck me that through each of the main storylines (Siri, Vivinna, and Lightsong) there is a prevailing theme of maturing and taking responsibility. This theme manifests itself in different ways according to the different characters, but it can be found in all three of the plot lines. Allow me to explain.

Let’s start with the most obvious, Siri. You can pull more than one theme from Siri’s story, but I want to focus on “putting away childish things.” When we first meet Siri, she takes pleasure in being “unimportant” and the lack of responsibility that comes with it.  While her siblings study and prepare for their duties, she spends her time exploring on her own and bringing colorful flowers to the children of her city (which is not encouraged by her religion). Mab the kitchen mistress calls her out for skipping her tutoring and “shirking responsibilities.” Because of this carefree attitude, when Siri is thrust into her role as the god king’s wife she is completely unprepared and forced to mature quickly. Throughout her time in the palace of Hallandren she learns responsibility and control. By gaining control over herself (example: controlling her hair while talking to the god king’s priest) she is also able to gain some control over her situation, which can be seen as she takes charge and uses her position in the palace as “vessel” to her advantage. By the end of the story she has matured quite a bit, which can most obviously seen in the control she gains over her hair color. Despite these changes she never loses her joy and wonder. Good thing, too, as Suesebron says it is one of the reasons he likes her. 

Now for Vivenna. Vivienna is set up to be the complete opposite of Siri. She studies diligently, maintains complete control over her composure, and puts her duty above all else. Her father thinks of her as “composed, simple [modest], hard, and capable.” The perfect Idrian and the perfect daughter. Vivenna seems to think highly of herself as well, saying that if she had been sent to the god king she could have stopped the coming war. Vivenna’s character arc is about realizing that she doesn't know as much as she thought she did. Through the course the story she is completely humbled, and her worldview and understanding are challenged. In order for her to mature she must first realize just how immature she was in many ways. Vasher points this out when he comments on how “stupid” she was to be manipulated by Denth. But Vivenna does learn, and she does grow in maturity and wisdom to the point where she is able to free Vasher from Denth. When at the end of the story she chooses to go with Vasher it is with a new understanding of herself and the world. She knows that she can’t go back to what she was before. She has been changed too much. With her newfound maturity she chooses what path she will take, without having others plan her life for her. Interestingly, her maturity manifests itself in a way that could be considered immature as she learns to lighten up. Specifically I’m referring to when she called Vasher “wartlover the ugly” as they set off together (as out of place as this line may seem it does demonstrate her character development well). When she rejects the propriety expected of her as a princess, in a way she is rejecting the old, naive self that lived a sheltered life in the castle taught to hate the Hallandrens. She is more world-wise now and has grown into her own person.

Lastly, we have Lightsong. I thought about calling this post "Warbreaker as a coming of age story" but Lightsong never comes of age. He is a fully fledged god, after all. Still, his story begins in a similar place as Siri's. Lightsong treats his role in the government and religion of Hallandren flippantly, and says that the other gods do the same. The only duty he takes seriously is his reviewing of artwork, and even that he is tempted to brush off on occasion. His journey to maturity kicks off with his obsession of who he was in his previous life. Interestingly, "finding my identity" is a common theme in many coming of age stories. The other driver in Lightsong's story is, of course, Blushweaver. She encourages Lightsong to step up as a ruler and religious figure of Hallandren (although she does so to gain power in the court). Slowly, influenced by his troubling dreams and the memory of someone important to him, Lightsong begins to take more responsibility to the point where he takes sole control of a large portion of the lifeless army. Even so he continues to treat much of his new involvement like a game, as can be seen by his brash attack of the Phan Khal in the tunnels. The danger finally becomes real to him when Blushweaver is killed. In the end, though, Lightsong is able to accept his role as a god and give his life for Susebron, something he previously had said he would never do. 

If Siri, Vivinna, and Lightsong’s stories are about taking responsibility, then one possible interpretation of Denth’s story is giving it up. Denth’s motives are never really explained by the story, but Vasher accuses him of simply selling his sword to whoever will pay. Denth does have his own goals - killing Vasher being the main one. It is also possible that Denth wanted a war between Idris and Hallandren, but he never says as much and there are no reasons given as to why it would be advantageous for him. With the information we are given, Denth can be read as using his position as a mercenary as a way of having someone else to blame. He does not decide what his employers want him to do - he simply does it. (Honestly, upon further reflection this isn't an interpretation I'm 100% sold on, but it fits the theme of this post so I thought I'd mention it.)

Returning to Susebron, with all this growing up and maturing that happens throughout the book, I would have liked to see Suesbron mature a bit more as well. By the end of the story he still seems a bit too childlike to me. Ah well. That’s another topic for another time.

P.S. I was going to cite all the chapters I reference here, but I only have the pdf download from Brandon’s website which isn’t the best for looking things up. I guess you’ll just have to trust I’m not making this all up lol

[to-shards-you-say]

hi! i’m new to the stormlight archive fandom, any good blogs I should follow? the jasnah soulcaster you made was incredible! she’s my fav character so far

ahhh thank you for messaging, that's so kind!!! a lot of people will post about sanderson's other Cosmere work as well as stormlight, so you may see mistborn, warbreaker, secret project posts etc as well! i'm gonna shout out upfront to @cosmereplay who tags books / spoilers like its a sport, since if you're still reading spoilers are going to be a big deal.

@onlycosmere is a collage of our best (and worst! 😏) content - so even if what they're sharing is broader than stormlight, they'll be a good way to find people making stormlight posts.

and once you're not worried about spoilers @cosmerelists and @thesitcomarchive (if they ever post again. come back to me legend) are hilarious.

we have an awesome artist community here, i'll obviously fail to tag everyone (sorry!) but off the top of my head, @taravangians-storming-balls @comiclysmic @smeegamae @sadibadimadi @stivya @virtualtear00 @nauti-ca @stormlight-archive @lilaeleaf @starling-illu @transkholins @emily-e-draws @duckngk have all made amazing fanart for longer than i've been around on here. and a special mention to @lamaery for both her fanart and her licensed work on both the Words of Radiance leatherbound and the upcoming stormlight rpg!

and while my standards are sadly low, we've got some of the best discipline with screenreader accessibility that i've seen in a community on tumblr, so many thanks to those over at @cosmere-described for all they do in helping us keep that up.

we love when people post about their readthroughs, so if you want to start finding people to talk to i encourage you to record your reactions and share them here!

as for anyone else to follow, if your blog is spoiler-safe, sound off in the notes please 🙏

Writing Commissions

Hi, all! I’ve decided to open writing commissions, partly due to financial need - my chronic back pain has gotten worse, and it’s getting harder to afford the things I need for it as a full time student. I’m an English major, have experience with editing and proofreading, and also have extensive experience with fanfiction, original fiction, and academic writing. I also have paid experience with scientific research writing, which I’m potentially willing to explore again. Commissions will be open for all of these things! Feel free to message me on Tumblr with questions, but please contact me at kestrellestarre@gmail.com to discuss actual commissions.

Fanfiction: $0.03 a word, or 20$ per 1000 words. 

I can write for: Not Another D&D Podcast, Dimension 20 (Fantasy High, Escape From the Bloodkeep, or The Unsleeping City), Harry Potter, The Addams Family, Good Omens, Discworld, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Skulduggery Pleasant, and the Cosmere (including Mistborn, Stormlight Archive, Warbreaker, Elantris, and others). If you have interest in another fandom, feel free to reach out, and I’ll see what I can do!

I will not write: graphic NSFW (some exceptions), underage, or non-con, and I reserve the right to turn down requests.

Examples of my work can be found here.

Contact me: kestrellestarre@gmail.com

Original Fiction: $0.05 a word, or 35$ per 1000 words. 

I will write: your OCs, a story based on themes of your choice, extensions of your own writing, pretty much anything you can think of that fits in this category.

I will not write: graphic NSFW (some exceptions), underage, or non-con, and I reserve the right to turn down requests.

The most recent example of my work can be found here.

Contact me: kestrellestarre@gmail.com

Proofreading/Editing: $0.01 a word for grammatical and spelling edits, $0.02 a word for more intense structural work.

I will help you with: Essentially anything. The world is your oyster.

I will not help you with: underage or non-con, and I reserve the right to turn down requests.

Contact me: kestrellestarre@gmail.com

Academic Writing

Message me on a case-by-case basis!

Contact me: kestrellestarre@gmail.com

Other Details

Commission price includes one revision, at which point you can also choose to increase the length and price. 

If what I write goes over what you have requested in word count, you will not be held responsible for paying extra; however, if you request something with a word count that is not feasible for that project, I will let you know upon request.

I can accept payment through PayPal, Ko-Fi, Venmo, or CashApp, and require half up-front once we’ve nailed down the details.

If you want to see more examples of my work, message me!

Okay Here's my 'About'

I edited an old dead post to add my 'about' here because Tumblr recently did something (July 2023) so that the way I had this set up before didn't work on mobile.

Without further ado:

Hi, welcome. Call me Shay or Regal, both are my names. Pronouns she/her and I'm aroace. I'm friendly and nice feel free to interact with me, I'm always happy to receive asks. Just don't be a jackass and we can be friends :)

If you found me because of a post I made, don’t expect them with any frequency or consistency.

Most posts are general reblogs but occasionally I’ll go through the tag of one of my fandom and spam my followers - you’ve been warned. I do tag for them, though - see below for my tag system; browse or filter at your leisure.

UPDATE! I'm on Cohost!

NEW USERS! Please make yourself not look like a bot! You will be blocked and reported by me otherwise! Pfp, bio, header, reblog some stuff, that’s all you need! If you’d like, I have  a master post filled with links to help you settle into tumblr, which you can find here or in my bio.

Every now and then I like to send a boop to my mutuals/more active (or favourite) followers. New followers who interact with my posts within a couple hours of following me get a boop as well as a welcome :D

I don't answer asks asking for money, legitimate or not. I'll reblog legitimate fundraisers, but will not publish them. I'm sorry this is the one boundary I'm putting in place

I got tagged by @sergeantpurrito, thanks! I miss old tumblr, lets bring things like this back.

Rules: name your top 10 favorite characters from 10 different fandoms then tag 10 people.

Lightsong the Bold, Warbreaker: He is such a great balance of different things, comedic relief and dramatic tension, a cerebral story of arguments about the responsibilities of those with power and an emotional story of a man struggling with faith personal identity.

Greed, Fullmetal Alchemist: I guess I have a thing for characters who say they’re bad guys while trying to do the right thing.

Toph, Avatar: and for characters that straddle the line between thoughtful hero and comic relief.

Yusuke, Yu Yu Hakusho: and misguided characters becoming the best they could be.

Soren, Dragon Prince:  himbo solidarity

Fi, So Weird: a bit of reach but I had such a crush on her when I was 11.

Artimis Fowl: Confounding some therapist wasn’t what made him a genius, rebuilding the environment that would turn him into better person was.

Rachel, Animorphs: super-powered fashionista, resistance fighter, angry murder baby. Fucking powerful.

Magnus, The Adventure Zone: Travis was the first to start taking his character seriously and it makes my little DM heart glow. 

Wash, Firefly: I still have a lot of love for this show, and this leaf on the wind.

@prayingforlove, @itsnottheheat, @reys--speeder, @toloveviceforitself, @quinn-the-human, @bookish-bi-christian, @flamingokitty22, @awkwardeccentric, @servant-of-darkness, @scandalouscout Go for it!

[cosmerearchive]

Hey everyone! 

First off, because I rarely actually type anything, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who follows me! I’m glad that you’re fans of all things Branderson, and enjoy seeing all the cool stuff other people do. 

As you’ve probably noticed, I reblog just about everything fandom-wide that I can find on Tumblr. Sometimes my queue gets really long, but just about everything comes through my blog eventually. I do have other interests (CR, Marvel, HP, Vorkosigan Saga), and if you’re interested in seeing those, you can follow my personal blog, @zas678.

The reason why I’m writing this post is because I’m on the cusp of having 600 followers, and with that many, I think it’s time to see if I can’t run this blog a little better. So, I’m asking for feedback. What things would you like to see more of? Less of? I have anon-asks open, so feel free to put feedback there. 

Some things I’m planning on changing already- 

First off, my name is a little obscure, hard to spell, and not entirely clear that it’s a Brandon Sanderson fan compilation blog. So I’m planning on changing it soon. Send me suggestions on good ideas you have! I have an idea or two of my own, but it’d be good to see what you guys have!

Second, I really want to get better at tagging. So I’ll do better at at least having tags about what series its in (mistborn, warbreaker, sa), and the type of post it is (art, fanfic, meme, theory, etc). Given enough time, I might also go back and try doing this to old posts as well. We’ll see if that happens. :)

TL;DR: Thanks everyone for following! Please give me feedback or suggestions for a new blog name.

[peachdoxie]

Yo cosmere fandom on tumblr, I’ve got a few questions about Warbreaker from my reread that weren’t answered by my binge of the Coppermind. Anyone out there who can give any speculation to this stuff? Below the cut.

First, the name Kalad. I was struck by its similarity to Kaladin, lacking only the last two letters. I know it's a name that Vasher used in the past on Nalthis and I know that Vasher has met Kaladin on Roshar. Is there any known connection between Kalad and Kaladin?

Second, when Lightsong had his vision of his death and what he saw from beyond in chapter 57, the text says he was "claimed by the void" when he died. Then, two paragraphs before he gives his Breath to Susebron, he thinks, "I have seen the void. And I came back." I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the Voidbringers of Roshar. They're called the Voidbrings but to my knowledge it's never described what the void is, exactly, that they're bringing.

I would greatly appreciate any responses to this speculation or links to more reading I can do on the subject.

(I also posted this on reddit just fyi in case someone is on both websites and sees this there)

[bookishaddict-blog]

I was tagged a few times to do the #meetthebookstagrammer tag, since today is the anniversary for my bookish tumblr, I figured: "Why not?!" 😅 . My name is Maja Diana, I'm at level 26 in the game of life, and I live in the happiest country on earth. 🇩🇰 . I am unemployed and uneducated, but that just mean I can use my #bookhoarding to gain knowledge on ... well ... everything. . My tbr is like... Thrice the size of me, which is no mean feat. I read pretty much anything, but I tend to stay clear of horror and non fiction. I like fantasy, science fiction and contemporary the best, though. . Apart from books, I also collect bookish merch. It doesn't even matter which fandom, I'm probably in it somewhere. . If you're curious to see any of my collections, just pop in when I'm live at some point, because it's basically an hour of Maja advertising stuff. . I have a cat that I love, I used to write a lot (but don't anymore) and I generally don't bite. Unless you're into it, then I'm game. . On a more personal side, I'm bisexual, diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder and I suffer from social anxiety. This means I am awkward like 99, 9% of the time, but I try to fight it every day. . Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson is my favorite book of all time, and if you've read it and loved it we should totally petition him to continue the series. If you haven't, then you should read it. . If I tagged you, then you can do the tag or not. It would be cool to have you share a #shelfieselfie and introduce yourself, but it's cool if you don't want to. . And if you actually read this far, you should give your self a pat on the shoulder and think some happy thoughts. You've deserved it! Also, my inbox is open for yooou. Always. . #Bookstagram #books #yabooks #bibliophile #booklover #booknerd #bookjunkie #bookaholic #bookworm #bookblog #bookishaddict #readersofinstagram #read #bookstagramfeature #yalit #youngadultbooks #bookdragon #bookreviewer #bookphotography #yareads
