Girl who says she's fine

[lamaery]

Looking for a stormy or colorful summer beach read? @priscellie and Ihad way too much fun creating some romance novel versions of Rhythm of War and Warbreaker. I made the illustrations and Priscillie made them look like actual books – beautifully ridiculous, curly typography, mock-up and all. I hope that there will be more :D

-------------------------------------------------------

Image description: (by Priscillie) Photomanipulation of two battered paperback pulp romance novels that look straight out of a thrift store bargain bin in the 1980s. The books are RHYTHM OF WAR and WARBREAKER by Sandra Branderson. RHYTHM OF WAR features an illustration of Navani and Raboniel experimenting with light, Raboniel looming behind Navani and leaning in, their faces almost touching. Raboniel streams voidlight from her image-left hand, which travels like lightning through Navani's tuning fork and into the sphere in Navani's gloved safehand. It's the primary source of light in the scene, and the background is nothing but murky darkness. Raboniel focuses intently, her red eyes alien and unknowable, as she focuses on her work. One of Navani's unkempt locks of hair just brushes the corner of Raboniel's mouth, and I'm not normal about it. Navani looks like she's gone three days without changing clothes and that she's slept in her hairstyle a similar number of nights. The collar of her havah is open, revealing her collarbones. Her expression is a mix of amazement, fear, and exhaustion, her mouth slightly open and her head tilted back slightly. Her face is lit from below by their experiment. The title and author's name are angled at a sharp diagonal, with strong capital letters and the occasional flourish. At the top is the tagline "In the Heart of War... Passion and Honor are Fused!" In one corner is some publication information, with a little logo of a seal and the words "A 'Sealed With a Kiss' Paperback," the fake ISBN 17S-631-1123-1210 (the last two sets of numbers being our birthdays), and prices in America and Canada. The other book is Warbreaker, also by Sandra Branderson. The illustration depicts Susebron and Siri in a ridiculously overblown, windswept Fabio-style cover, with a shirtless Susebron holding Siri so she's half sitting on his chest, one knee up with her thigh along his chest, her legs off to one side, and with her body twisted so she's facing him with her upper body, leaning down to him, a breath away from kissing him. She's wearing a teal dress with a Mesoamerican vibe that reveals her midriff and leaves her shoulders bare, but with a long train that blows off to the side. Her arms are painted in looping gold shapes. Her hair is blonde for most of its length, but it's beginning to change to a vivid red at the scalp. It's wrapped in teal ribbon to match her dress. Susebron has long, sleek black hair caught by the wind, chunky gold earrings and a slim gold cuff at his upper arm, and is wrapped in long white strips of awakened cloth that snake through the image in an energetic explosion of fabric. He gazes at her in handsome adoration and abandon, and she gazes back in love tempered by concern. The title has the same diagonal and italicized design with the same typeface and flourishes, but the title is jazzed up with shimmery, iridescent type. At the top is the tagling "She was forced to marry a god... Then she took his breath away!"

Things Kaz canonically does in the two years between Crooked Kingdom and Rule of Wolves:

(presumably) massively expands the Dregs' territory

buys Pekka's old club (the Emerald Palace) and completely renovates it, turning it into The Silver Six

massively expands the Crow Club to the point where it's "three times the size of every other establishment on the block"

builds an underground tunnel that goes from the Crow Club to the Geldstraat, where the Van Eck Mansion is

takes Jesper out on jobs with him often enough that Wylan has jokingly banned Jesper from answering the door when he knocks

learns about Ketterdam's Suli laborers and picks up additional knowledge of Suli culture

keeps up with Inej's whereabouts and helps her take out slavers

expands his information network to the Kerch colonies

is on friendly enough terms with the King of Ravka that he taught Nikolai how to pick locks and Nikolai feels comfortable personally writing him a letter when he needs to steal the titanium from Kerch

disguises himself just to follow people around on the streets

was planning to steal the titanium from the military base anyway just for fun

And that's just the stuff we see from Nikolai's and Zoya's incredibly limited perspectives during their Ketterdam sidequest

I 100% agree with Zoya when she thinks that "maybe Kaz was like Nikolai, a boy with an unquiet mind, a man in perpetual need of challenge" because ROW makes it so obvious that Kaz is bored and incredibly restless in his success. Someone get our boy a new life's purpose and a subscription to a long-running unsolved mystery podcast stat

It must’ve been quite the surprise

[taravangians-storming-balls]

Adolin better hope that maya doesn't get full speech back with all the juicy gossip he's probably been whispering to that blade over the years

[twobitsandanibble]

Totally legit kowt bingo board

[gh0stfellow]

Kaladin should be allowed to be a little evil occasionally

[stormlight-archive]

Sorry this is drawn pretty rough, i did it in one sitting. It was supposed to be a quick doodle😭 anyways its ch 12 book 4 from Adolin's perspective

[invenblocker]

It only just now occured to me that with the revelation of Storm and Voidlight being based on sound, Seekers telling apart allomancy by, among other things, differentiating the intervals between pulses is put into a whole new light

holy shit. shallan could totally be a trans woman and not even know it until post-RoW. like. she was a radiant as a kid, right. and being a radiant is canonically free gender affirming surgery & hrt in one, right. and then the trauma happened and she repressed a bunch of memories, right. so she could just have forgotten she was trans. and then for her family it just wasn't important in the wake of all the murder and everything, and look her father just made the active choice to Not Question It anyway, shallan is canonically a trans woman and the only reason we don't know about is because shallan doesn't know about it either. post now

24 Contraption

First I wanted to draw Navani and an ardent nerding out over constructing a fabrial, but then I felt so tired that it became Kaladin instead. He needs sleep, I need sleep. Let’s all get some sleep.

[ID: illustration of Kaladin, a tired-looking man holding his arm up in front of his face. His sleeve is cuffed to show he is wearing a thick glove that has a fabrial built into it. Kaladin has brown skin, intense eye bags, forehead glyphs, and black hair in a messy bun. Syl, a little blue spren, sits on his shoulder. He wears cold-weather gear and a pack. End ID] thanks for the ID @tempestclerics 💕

Y'all ever make something stupid? This is what Sanderson meant when he said ryshadiums had sapience right?
