shakadolin 😈

I have a lot of feelings about shakadolin

On the one hand, arospec!Kaladin is a headcanon that is near and dear to my heart

On the other hand, as someone who is in a relationship with an arospec person, I know that there are absolutely ways to respect that if the person in question is okay with and/or wants a relationship

So with that being said, my favorite way to look at shakadolin is for Adolin and Shallan to be happily married and for Kaladin to be qps with both of them. He’s still uncomfortable with pda, especially if it involves him, and he wants no part of most romantic aspects of a relationship, but these two mean a lot to him and once they get it through his head that they care about him too, he’s tentatively willing to try something with them. I see the three of them developing a comfortable intimacy where Adolin and Shallan still go out on dates, and when they bring Kaladin along it has a less romantic vibe. Kaladin is very much into cuddling and quiet talks late into the evening and having his hair played with and falling asleep knowing that the other two are safe in his arms. Adolin and Shallan love seeing a softer side of Kal, less guarded.

Anyway, I think there’s potential there for a complicated but no less tender and loving relationship. They all care about each other and it takes time and effort to build something that everyone can be happy with

kalmoash or navaniel??? 👀

Hmm. Personally I think I enjoy navaniel more, though I enjoy how kalmoash pisses people off more. But both are incredibly good

wait wait wait i gotta ask... so you've read the inheritance trilogy... favorite characters? favorite moments? favorite book?

[spoilers for books 1 and 2 of the inheritance trilogy here]

i’ve read the first twoooooo (sorry sorry i’ll read the third SOON i promise!) and so far the second one was my favorite! I enjoyed the hundred thousand kingdoms but having read some of jemisin’s later works you can definitely tell that it was her first novel! and it’s really cool to see how she’s developed since then. 

my fave characters are yeine and oree i loved the ten-year timeskip between books and the contrast between Sky in book 1 and Shadow in book 2 like it was very cool to see that yeine’s actions at the end of book 1 actually did have a huge impact on society! and seeing yeine as the gray lady was cool! also the demon reveal had me :0 but my favorite overall part of the book was oree and madding’s relationship like it's my fault for mostly reading books starring people in their late teens to early twenties but i always appreciate a good complicated mature relationship!

i am excited for book 3 because i feel like there’s a couple obvious threads left open like. okay i forgot his name but the guy who used to be nahadoth during the day when he was still enslaved to the arameris. and oree’s pregnancy continuing on the line of demons (ngl i DID laugh when that was revealed. like of course. of course.)

Atton/Kirnet: 1, 2, 37, 38

1. How did they first meet?

they met on the peragus mining facility, with kirnet half naked and screaming bc holy shit she can feel the force again and atton imprisoned in an electrical field. the ideal meetcute.

2. How did they first get together?

Ok. I actually don’t know. I have a few different ideas and idk which one I like best. They are always kind of dating without ever making anything official but idk exactly which point is the best time for them to actually admit their feelings.

Scenario 1. They get together officially during kotor 2, right before the end game and the council. Honestly not a huge fan of this one bc I love slow burn pining and they’re both too busy to actually have a relationship but also it’s conditionally good when I need that scenario for a comic or something.

Scenario 2. My fave: They get together after kotor 2, where atton almost dies and does that whole confession and kirnet panics for a second before realizing she’s thick of ass and strong of force and force heals him enough to stabilize him to get him off of malachor with the rest of the crew. Very dramatic and angsty confession at the last possible second. Very good. Atton wakes up in the Jedi temple on coruscant with kirnet waiting for him. Very happy reunion and an actual kiss before kirnet tells him she’s going after revan in a few days. This one splits into 2 subgroups

2a. Kirnet finds revan and stops the sith emperor and is heavily injured in the process but through the power of friendship, the force, and kirnets bonkers willpower they get home and kirnet and atton help raise the next generation of Jedi together

2b. The revan novel route. Kirnet fucking dies in the battle and becomes a force ghost to watch over revan. Atton feels her death yet never learns what happens to her. Whoopsies!

It all really depends on what project I’m working on but their main state is ‘not officially together but everyone can tell that we’re a thing even if we don’t realize it’. yes this was way too much information.

37. Thoughts on PDA(Public Displays of Affection)?

They’re both more low key abt it, only really doing scandalous hand holding and pecks on the cheek if they’re feeling spicy. kirnet’s really never done relationship stuff before so she prefers to keep it more subtle as she figures out what the fuck is going on

38. Thoughts on each other’s friends?

Atton does not get along with literally anybody on the ship except for mira sometimes. everybody else on the ship is at least 52% in love with kirnet. it’s extremely awkward and antagonistic and atton is not a fan. i dont think atton has friends for kirnet to have opinions on

[brechtian]

Thoughts on ancient literature/literature from Antiquity (poetry, theater, etc.)?

Oh gosh that’s a large subject and I have not read much of it. Um, Antigone rules. Oh! I love Ovid’s metamorphoses, and I think Narcissus and Echo is a hugely under-adapted/retold story (it’s my personal favorite). The immense beauty, poignancy, and tragedy of only being able to echo someone you love, and the way in which the parts of his sentences she echos completely change the meaning just! make me go crazy! there’s one line that I’ve seen translated a few different ways but every translation hits me so strongly. A few different translations are

“ ‘Away with these encircling hands! May I die before what’s mine is yours. She answers, only ‘What’s mine is yours!’ “

“Take off your hands! you shall not fold your arms around me. Better death than such a one should ever caress me!” Naught she answers save, “Caress me!”

Which, yeah, fucks me up. One of my aspirations and what I may end up doing for my senior capstone project is writing a full stage adaptation/retelling of Narcissus and Echo.

Also okay im a dummy... whats x: surge of division?

You’re not a dummy!! I haven’t talked about it on here a lot yet.

It’s for Tama and Par! Del and Moash’s squires, respectively, during the timeskip story @moash and I are building. Instant attraction rivals to friends/lovers.

And this:

I’ve called it ‘the surge of division’ because while Par and Tama seem to start out as opposites, they come to see they have many similarities. Just like Skybreakers and Dustbringers seem to be entirely different, but actually share values as well as a Surge.

The fact that the Orders that share Surges usually share values despite their differences just makes me 😩👌

[moash]

Sanderson's only actual meaningful rep is his portrayal of neurodivergency. Every effective racial minority is killed or villainized and the best to be said about his female characters is that they're not misogynist caricatures.

agree! like the most we can say is 🤞 for moash redemption that isn’t specifically him denouncing his former views and swearing by the kholins again. and 🤞 for future lgbt rep. but as of now you’re absolutely right.

send me controversial or unpopular opinions and I'll tell you if I agree or disagree

Edér Teylecg in Pumpkaboo!

i uh. spent way longer on this than i meant to lol

[grichel]

top 5 things u would do if sanderson made u his trusted consultant

i mean ok obviously this list could be entirely moash things, but i’ll limit it to one moash thing, the most important one

1) moash is gay

2) dalinar receives harsher condemnation for his crimes

3) kaladin gets his brown eyes back

4) more women who aren’t strictly feminine, more women in general

5) kaladin and tarah have a reunion where they clear the air and realize they have no romantic feelings for each other anymore :)

ATTENTION: do NOT interact with user k//id///rat! He incites MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION on representation in the stormlight archive and comes up with FIRE AUS

excuse me I tracked this month old post with four notes down by obsessively searching variations of my own url in a discourse-brainrot fuelled stupor and I can’t BELIEVE you would say something so abusive?????? /s

[lesbianshanventure]

sweet additions, good analysis of sanderson wobs, and lots of enthusiasm!
