#Stormlight au no 28

[nevertheless-moving]

If moash had told kalidan about his beef with the king book 1 then none of the rest of that shit would have happened because kalidan wouldn't have sworn to protect elokhar

I mean it's probably for the best because wow genuinely it would have derailed the entire plot of the series like

Kalidan: my men and I vow to protect you and your sons with our lives

Dalinar: and my nephew, the king

Kaldan: and your niece when she arrives

Dalinar: any my nephew

Kalidan: and the kings mother

Dalinar: and you will protect The KING

Kalidan:

Dalinar:

WoB from the White Sand Vol 1 Release Party, 2016-06-28

Questioner: So, with your Herdazian terms where- where did those come from? Is “Gon” just a fun sound for Lopen to say, or is it from a real language or... (inaudible)

Brandon: Ah, yes. A mix, a lot of Herdazian is supposed to sound like a Romantic language, constructed that way. Uh, “Gon”- or “Goncha”, the other version of the word- it actually has it’s own story. So there’s this old mafia movie from the seventies, Goncharov. The main character, the leader of this Russian Mob in Southern Italy, is sometimes called Gon or Goncha for short, and growing up there was an inside joke about calling your boss that. And- well there’s a lot of interesting stuff in this movie, but part of it is like I said, Russian mob in Italian mafia territory, so that was probably a connecting thought I had, how Herdazian characters in Alethkar are at a weird place of connection and belonging and alienation, but also just an inside joke because The Lopen is a very fun and funny character. 

don’t ask how long it took for me to hunt this down, anyway how long do you think we have until we see a Goncharov stormlight au on ao3 now

I was scrolling through Twitter and it’s your birthday? Happy birthday if that’s the case! You don’t know how nice it is to have such a talented artist as part of the fandom :)

And totally off topic, but I was wondering if you also write? Some of the background stories behind your art are totally fic worthy

Yeap, January 28 was my B-day :) Thank you so much! It's a pleasure to contribute to the NejiHina community and to know that my art reaches the shippers’ hearts!

I wish I could write. I have skills in text-editing and translation (this is exactly what I was taught at university), but I’ve never been good at creating fictional texts from scratch. I have a vivid imagination and plenty of ideas, but I can’t turn it into a complete fanfic even in my native language and writing in English only makes it even a greater challenge that takes a lot of time.It’s kinda my personal tragedy, because many of my ideas are left unrealized and it literally burns my desire to create out  but I keep trying to improve, ahaha.

Here is a really long text below, but if you are a ficwriter, you may be interested =)

Since I returned to NejiHina a year ago I started thinking about my own version of the story and writing down some ideas.

For now I have ideas for a half ‘canon compliant’ and a half ‘fix-it/canon divergent' headcanon, I‘ve already written 30+ pages of notes and I keep working on it. I conditionally divide the events into three large parts, starting with the Chūnin exam (probably) and developing the story till MCs are ~30+ yo in the epilog. At the moment I have a draft of about half (?) of the planned events, I’m still not sure what will happen after the end of the war. However I know how the story should end, I already have an outline for the final chapter.

My headcanon has Neji, Hinata, Hiashi and Kō as 4 main chars and POVs that show different time periods, sides of the story and problems that face different clan’s members and the clan itself. There probably will also be Hizashi (for flashbacks), my OC, Naruto and team Gai and team 8 members as occasional POVs.

I adjusted many canon things such as chronology, timeline, and secondary characters' motivation and details about their bio. I’d like to add such things as traditions, folklore, religion, make hierarchy and political structure clearer for I’m sure that can make the story more mature and wholesome. I've always considered NejiHina to be a mature ship that has various layers in it, not only romance and emotions between Neji and Hinata themselves.

My main sources of inspiration are the Game of Thrones universe, The Stormlight Archive saga and The Crown Tv-series (+ infinite number of smaller sources). I’d like to make a darker and more realistic AU, where political intrigues and plotting take place, wars start at the whim of individuals or because of their incompetence and the end of the war doesn’t bring the era of peace. Characters face moral crossroads and die for their beliefs or get killed because of them.

I also have many ideas about extending the Hyūga lore, especially such aspects as their social structure and characters’ powers, physical and chakra abilities. Most of my arts are related to this headcanon so I share some ideas the way I can. Tho I’d love to share even more T_T

Above this I have ideas and plots for at least 5 AUs, including Modern AU, The Last AU, Time Traveling AU, Cyberpunk AU, Runaways AU. These are more like 'I'd love to read this fic', but they are not my first priority.

Moreover I have ideas for several standalone short stories and drabbles, that may or may not be the parts of my main HC.Besides I always end up creating short stories in my head when I draw art, so most of my arts have a context.

I understand that I can't make it all alone, so if there are ficwriters who want to write NejiHina fics and have no ideas - let's discuss! I have a bunch of ideas to share, those that I'll never write myself, but I'd be extremely happy to read them, ahaha.

I also like questions about the Hyūga lore and my HC bc answering such questions is a good opportunity to 1) write down ideas and make them material 2) see where I have incoherencies in my own logic and fix them 3) share my ideas so that they won't be left as disembodied thoughts

Yes, I may need some time answering such questions for reasons I've mentioned above, but I truly enjoy it.

Well, to sum up, I hope to finish at least something from this list someday, gods, preserve me X_X

Middle aged widower Viserys being presented with a prepubescent Laena Valeryon as a potential bride has always been repulsive, but the show actually visualizing what they look like next to each other was genuinely disturbing

My #1 post of 2022

Daemon looking at Aemond wordlessly like “you and I are characters who serve as narrative mirrors to each other as the fiery and ambitious second son of the royal line remembered by history as a rogue prince, to the point where your name is an anagram of mine and we were cast with actors who look so similar that people mixed us up in the trailer”

Fandom(s): BNHA, Princess Tutu, Stormlight Archive (and general cosmere to a lesser extent), ATLA, PJO (and general riordenverse 2ale) and more....

Where you post: AO3, some stuff ends up on tumblr too. i used to have a ffnet account and one day that site will implode and i will fell free from it

Most popular one-shot (by kudoes): busted. probably bc its got dadzawa tagged and bakugo right near the start of the character tags. just a silly thing, not sure why its more popular than some of my other oneshots, but whatever its a fun one 

Most popular multi-chap (also by kudoes): brothers-in-arms..... which is an Interesting feeling as its one i plan to completely rewrite. it was an early one of mine, and one of the first “bigger” brozawa fics tho i wasn’t the first, so it got a lot of attention at the start. now i look at it and go ‘oh... younger pocket tried.’

Favorite story you've written so far: Marks of Light, tho Krakenverse is a close second. i just. am v much a fantasy au person

Fic you were nervous to post: all of them, i have anxiety babes, but any of my oneshots dealing with the Todorokis automatically is one i feel more nervous about.... i like to think my takes on them are nuanced but they certainly are not... all that popular

How do you chose your titles? i dont even know man its a pain every time

Do you outline? sometimes! long fics, usually. oneshots, maybe, depends on if its like a 5+1 structure or something else like that

Complete: 87

In progress: 28

Coming soon:  uhhh so many. I should be posting the Quirk Eject oneshot today and i think my next oneshot might be one exploring the life of an exhausted quirk registrar

Not started:  ∞ (infinity)

Prompts?: i take em, but who knows if i’ll answer them right away or in six months. if a prompt doesn’t strike me, i keep it around for later.

Upcoming work you're most excited about: yeah my Hana, Goddess of Weaving and Mourning oneshot will be fabulous. 

No pressure tags: uh who didn’t get tagged by emily... @owlf45 @moonpaw @barid-bel-medar @ whoever else would like to do it just say i tagged you :)

Feel free to ignore this ping at your leisure! <3
