Attend Me by gemheart

Rated Mature, 1000 words, Jasnah/Shallan Shallan's mouth gets her into trouble. (For the Stormlight kink meme: Shallan gets dared to undress Jasnah with only her teeth.)

Teen-rated excerpt:

"Shallan, sketchbook," Jasnah said.

Shallan jumped, nearly dropping her pen, and shut the book in a hurry. "Sorry, Brightness." She looked up and shrunk under her mentor's disapproving gaze. Those violet eyes cut through her more easily than a Shardblade.

Jasnah turned back towards her desk and continued removing her Soulcaster. "I would be more inclined to accept your apology if we hadn't spoken about this issue before. Several times."

Embarrassment flooded her, hot and awful. "Actually, Brightness, I believe you only told me not to have this out when I'm supposed to be helping you, and you don't actually need me right now…"

"You miss the point-- or, I suspect, you pretend to miss the point, which is worse." Jasnah said as she shut the safe and locked it, and Shallan tried to disappear into the floor. "If I did need your help, you wouldn't be ready. What would you do, attend me with your mouth?"

"I could," Shallan shot back, mostly to avoid thinking about the tens of suggestive comments now filling her mind. She was already growing flushed as it was.

Her mentor raised an eyebrow. "You could," she said flatly, in her that was stupid and we both know it voice.

Shallan set her jaw and nodded.

Jasnah sat at her dresser and folded her arms over her chest. Shallan tried not to stare. "Go on, then."

"Brightness?" Shallan squeaked, sure she must have misheard.

"I'm not fond of repeating myself," Jasnah said drily.

Okay. Fuck.

50 days until Stormlight 5 or whatever

[moghedien]

Love that Word of Radiance literally opens like:

Shallan: Jasnah hates me now because I robbed her and is just taking me along with her forever because of some unknowable reason probably she definitely thinks I’m bad now 😞

Jasnah: *wrote to her mom to tell her about Shallan, came up with a plan to help Shallan’s family even though it would help her enemies, talked up Shallan to her mom to a point where her mom thought it would be a good idea to have Shallan marry into the family and started the betrothal process (but left enough room to back out in case Shallan doesn’t want to get married), got worried because hasn’t seen Shallan in five minutes and decided to sit on deck with her even though she clearly wants to be inside, told Shallan that she thinks the magical beings have brought the two of them together and they need to be together now because fate or whatever (she’s the worlds most prominent atheist btw)*

Pattern, Moash, Adolin, Syl, Rock, Gaz

Hoid, Lopen, Eshonai, Navani, Zahel

Sadeas, Lift, Veil, Teft, Rlain

Ben McSweeney: Pretty excellent, I like a lot of these!

The artist is from the Phillipines, and they do superb animation work as well. I think they're tied up in videogames, working on JRPGs.

taken me ages but behold archive karecktors

adolin and maya beloved but also the most time consuming because i had to figure out how the hell i was going to do adolin's hair and not hate looking at it, and maya took me forever to figure out the colours lol. looked at so many references trying to figure out what dead vines should look like and what i would like it to look and i couldnt really find what i wanted lol. but what i went for was like really dried out and very very dead looking fibre. that wasnt too bad but trying to figure out her clothes that would look decent before and after she becomes a deadeye was hell for me an amateur colour theory understander lmao

i have drawn shallan before so she wasn't too difficult but i was truly torn about which version of pattern i wanted to show?? so i did a few of them hahah. i did a canon compliant version, alluding a bit to BE NOT AFRAID angel vibes. but im pretty passionate about ferrofluid-looking pattern as thats what i picture in my head (but i couldnt really find a good reference so i couldnt really do it well. it's also like, about the way it moves more than a still frame so extra challenge). and if you've seen my shallan art you know i. asdlkfjh. i originally pictured pattern as a QR code so i was compelled to continue it. @mistbjorn this one's for you because youre so right <3

syl i usually picture similar to kida in disney's atlantis when she merges with the crystal and you can see her scalp beneath her transparent hair, so thats the inspo for her. for the sylspear i designed it to look a bit like a caduceus as homage to kaladin's medical training and his dad, and like it's not that deep but i guess the swirly glowy bits are his duality and being torn between two worlds etc etc or you can just picture spren zipping about if you want lol like i definitely pictured syl was one but the other makes no sense

the kholins i dont have much to say since they were not part of my original plan hahaha but i couldn't help adding them too. i lowkey struggled to make them unique but also similar because family alksdjfhs i was sketching this around a time i did a lot of face studies so it was so whack and the colouring absolutely killed me so it is what it is asldkjaklsdjf

My first tumblr post: I drew ten of our main characters during the Way of Kings! I recently drew a portrait of Jasnah and Shallan in honor of my reread, and that drawing started me on a kick of drawing as many of our Stormlight characters as I could as I finished rereading Words of Radiance with my fiancé. I love drawing out visual references of the characters for the movie in my mind that plays as I reread these incredible books! Ten for Honor, of course.

Probably my favorite characters to draw were Dalinar and Navani (I took some liberties with Navani’s havah, but I think a LITTLE scandalousness is in character for her), Adolin (I enjoyed the exercise of making him resemble his dad, but more handsome and less weathered), Kaladin (plus a possible eleventh character…), and Wit (whose smug face is very fun to draw). I also really enjoyed making Adolin and Renarin resemble each other, and I love how Navani and Jasnah turned out to look like older and younger versions of each other.

Please enjoy! I’m so grateful for the Cosmere community and to be able to be able to transport myself to the world of Roshar!

[cosmiciaria]

So far all of my bookmark designs in art nouveauish style. I like some more than others but for an experiment I think I'm doing a good job. I still love Syl as my favourite and she was the first I drew. I hope to keep drawing more cosmere characters from different books!

You can see Elend here! The maximum per post seems to be ten pictures so I can't add him here 💔

A Study In Worship by Anonymous

Rated Mature, 3000 words, Jasnah/Shallan After finally accepting a proposal from Shallan, Jasnah finds their relationship to be more interesting than she previously imagined.

Mature-rated excerpt below the cut:

Life had an interesting way of changing our perspectives. Take the intricacies of human interaction and the lies we told ourselves, for example. A week ago, Jasnah Kholin would have said they did not interest her whatsoever. Now here she was, reflecting on how little we knew ourselves while absent mindedly nursing a glass of wine.

The source of this shift in paradigm, if you could even call it that, was plain to see. Shallan Davar literally glowed, providing the only lighting in the dark stone room. Radiant Knight, Lightweaver, artist and, since a week or so ago - Jasnah's pet. Slave. Toy. Property. It was hard to choose a proper term, they all had their own depth and each one meant something ever so slightly different from the others. For now, she had settled on Shallan being hers. Additional descriptors could come with time.

Speaking of changing perspectives, Shallan was - pardon the pun - a shining example. Even outside of her Veil, the young woman was always so brash and confident. Jasnah found it intoxicating to see her like this now - hands bound above her head, a chain pulling her up by the wrists just far enough to force her to stand on the tips of her toes, a blindfold covering both her ears and eyes.

How long had it been, since the Alethi queen had bound her like that? An hour, two? Even if the girl had any Stormlightto draw on, her arms must be hurting by now. Jasnah couldn't hide a smile, even if deep down this worried her a little. She did not consider herself a cruel woman. Pragmatic, yes. Willing to do what needed to be done, of course - she was Alethi, after all. She did not consider herself a particularly... libidinous woman, either. But something about seeing this girl, this liar, this actress, this... Lightweaver like this, bound and shivering... it awoke a beast in her.

Pros and Cons of Stormlight Characters in the Middle Seat Next to You on a Budget Airline.

As requested by anon. :)

1. Kaladin

Cons: His legs are so long. His hair is so luxurious. His shoulders are so broad. This large, beautiful man is not trying to be in your space, but the budget airline seat cannot contain him. Pros: You started what you thought was an idle conversation, but by the end of your flight, he had diagnosed your chronic pain and become your therapist??

2. Shallan

Pros: Well, she's more of a regular-sized human and she's friendly but quiet. She seems to just want to sketch the whole flight, so no complaints! Cons: Why does she keep staring directly at a space across the plane and sketching the creepiest symbol-headed creatures you've ever seen with her eyes vaguely glazed over like she doesn't even know she's doing it holy shit is this a Twilight Zone situation where there are invisible gremlin monsters on this plane that only she can see and is it your imagination or do you hear humming from somewhere

3. Adolin

Cons: Listen, this is a budget airline, and this guy seems to think it's a fancy spa?? He's got the slippers, the posh eye mask, the luxurious travel pillow, some really nice face creams, and he seems to be video chatting with a girl even though the internet on the plane doesn't even work. Frankly, you're jealous and grouchy about it. Pros: Okay, he actually seems really sweet and he gave you some of his way-too-nice-for-an-airplane snacks. You take it all back; this guy is awesome.

4. Szeth

Pros: He is so still. So quiet. Almost folded in on himself. Barely...breathing? Honestly, you keep forgetting the middle seat is occupied, and how rare is that! Cons: You just...you think you'd feel better if he just blinked. Just once. Please.

5. Lift

Cons: You had to sigh just a little when a little kid plopped down next to you. Also, she goes to the bathroom every five minutes, and comes back with food every time. You think she might be robbing people. Pros: She complimented your butt quite sincerely. You've always been kinda self-conscious about your butt! But apparently yours is the "second best she's ever seen." Feels nice.

6. Jasnah

Pros: Like, is it possible for someone to just be really good at flying? She came in, expertly stowed her luggage, sat down elegantly, did her seatbelt, used a wipe to clean up the tray table and surrounding area, and immediately starting reading some thick tome. Do you have a crush on her? You might have a crush on her. Cons: She glanced at the book you're reading, and you know she judged you for it.

7. Wit

Cons: Does this guy EVER stop talking? Pros: Okay, actually, you found him kind of annoying at first, but that story he told you about the temple and the duck might have healed years of trauma? Did you just realize that you don't have to forgive your mom and that's okay?

8. Renarin

Pros: He sat down and you were like, "Okay. Cute nerd. I dig it." Cons: You just wish he wouldn't scrawl foreboding-seeming numerals on the back of the airline chair in front of him. Is it counting down to...just before the plane lands? What does it mean???

9. Amarem

Cons: He came in and was IMMEDIATELY like, "I am taller than you and so I should have your seat." And then he just...waited? Like he thought you'd just comply??? Pros: He seems intent on pretending that never happened. Fine by you. That guy seems like an asshole.

10. Zahel

Pros: He falls asleep, like, immediately and doesn't stir for the entire flight. Cons: He's just kinda stinky.

11. Dalinar

Cons: He sits down and, unprompted, says something like, "In my youth I would always battle to occupy every armrest but now, after reading The Way of Planes, I have realized that it is the journey, not the armrests, that matter, so you can have them" and then you're like, "Dude, the person in the middle seat gets the armrests that's just common courtesy" and then he looks at you and you look at him and it's vaguely awkward the whole flight and nobody uses the armrests. Pros: Actually, after a while you do take the armrest and the tension goes down a lot.

12. Taravangian

Pros: He just kinda seems like a nice old man, you know? Kinda confused about stuff, but harmless enough. Cons: He falls asleep partway through and droops his head onto your shoulder and drools a bit and you know you sound ridiculous but it feels somehow calculated. Intentional. Evil.

13. Sebarial

Cons: The very second beverage service starts he's all, "Bring me a BOTTLE of wine" and you're like, "Oh no. It's one of those dudes who gets way too drunk on planes!" Pros: You know? This guy actually seems pretty jolly and chill. You catch yourself thinking, "I wish I could pretend he was my uncle." You're not sure where that came from.

14. Rock

Pros: He scoffs at the provided airline snacks and gets out this thermos and gives you the best damn soup you've ever had in your life. Cons: He's just a large, warm man. Very large. Very warm. Not his fault, of course, but now YOU are very warm.

15. Elhokar

Cons: Every time there is plane turbulence, he mutters something about how it's the assassins coming to finish the job. Poor dude must be really scared of flying. Pros: You feel a warm, parental feeling growing in you as you look at this sad, scared man. Maybe your mom was right. Maybe you WOULD be good with kids.

16. Eshonai

Pros: This lady is, just, SO excited to be traveling that it can't help but make YOU excited to travel. Like, you always thought plane travel sucked, especially budget airline travel, be she is so delighted by everything that you find yourself thinking, "You know, it IS pretty amazing that we're soaring through the sky right now traveling to a new land." Cons: Cons? No cons. You wish you could ALWAYS see flying through this woman's eyes.

[amemoryofwot]

I still think it’s really funny Shallan called Jasnah’s back alley field trip the worst day of her life. Shallan, the character whose entire thing is having several Worst Days of Her Life.

[moghedien]

every reread I’m more and more amused by the scene of Jasnah finding Shallan all disheveled and clearly exhausted trying to cram read like 10 philosophy textbooks she just got scammed into buying, and Jasnah just being like “damn you’re pathetic” and sighing because she knows she has no choice but to adopt this cringefail girl that won’t leave her alone who shouldn’t be roaming around without adult supervision.

Look at her she has $8 total and she’s using them to read philosophy in the most pathetic, dim light imaginable. The girl is either squinting because it’s too dark to read in or because she’s about to fall asleep so Jasnah has adopt her if only to tell her it’s past her bedtime
