The cute thing about Kaladin/Lyn is that although she is shorter than him she can use gravitation to give herself a boost for kissing purposes

Bridge 4 Discuss Terrible Pickup Lines

As (sort of) requested by @dewypeach and @imtheseventh

So back when @cam-ulu29 asked for a Kaladin flirting list, I ran a poll about whether it should be a sincere, sweet list or a list full of terrible, out-of-character pickup lines. The former won by a MILE, but some people were interested in the latter. Dewypeach & imtheseventh in particular suggested doing something with Bridge 4 either suggesting terrible pickup lines or having Kaladin try them out. So here's something like that!

Skar: Worst pickup lines you can come up with. Go.

Lopen: I suggested one for Kaladin, but it wasn't terrible--it was really good. He acted like it was terrible, though--does that count?

Kaladin: It WAS terrible.

Kaladin: And...weird.

Kaladin: I'm not going to flirt with Dalinar. He is my boss. And married. And old.

Lopen: So what I said, right, was that Kal should look Dalinar right in the eye, all serious-like, and say, "My relationship with my father is terrible. Will you be my new Daddy?"

Moash: [spits out drink]

Skar: No!

Lopen: Listen, it would work! I can read a man, and I KNOW that would work on Dalinar!

Kaladin: I DON'T WANT TO FLIRT WITH DALINAR, MY MARRIED ELDERLY BOSS

Lopen: Okay, okay! If you prefer to flirt with Navani, you just gotta roll up with something like, "So I heard you like long, thick towers. It just so happens that I..."

Kaladin: NO

Moash: See, the thing is, Kal, you're attractive enough that you could probably get away with a really bad pickup line.

Moash: I bet you could tell someone that you want to "Plunge straight into their their Honor Chasm" and I bet it would work.

Kaladin: That would absolutely not work.

Moash: You say that, and yet...

Rock: Moash has point, though! We are all well-known now, yes? All good-looking (except maybe for Lopen, who is unfortunately very short). I think men like us get away with some pretty bad lines, yeah?

Letyen: "You did a bridge run straight into my heart."

Moash: "I wanna explore YOUR chasms."

Kaladin: (What's you and the chasms, man?)

Lyn: "Let's...bridge this distance between us."

Teft: "I'm from Bridge 4. Do you want to get a drink?"

Skar: "Let me show you how good I am with my spear."

Sigzil: "You prefilled the forms in my heart."

[They all look at him]

Sigzil: What? In Azir, that's a very effective line.

Moash: Is that true, though, or are you making up Azir stories to trick us stupid Alethi?

Sigzil: [sips drink enigmatically]

Kaladin: Fine, fine, okay!

Kaladin: If I wanted to "pick someone up" with my Bridge 4 cred, I guess I'd try something like...

Kaladin: ...

Kaladin: Uh... How about: "My days in the bridge crews were horrible and dark. I barely survived. I lost a lot of friends. Good friends. It haunts me still. But now that I'm out, I've decided to live. And that means doing things that make me WANT to live."

Kaladin: "Like going out with you!"

Kaladin: [Looks at them expectantly]

Moash: Oh, Kal...

Lopen: Even your pretty face can't save that one, gon...

Skar: The thick tower line is looking better and better...

Kaladin: WELL YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES WHO BROUGHT IT UP

[theelfdruid]

Some Edgedancers after a length, late-night feverish rant that mostly consisted of me trying to figure out how they navigate when having frictionless feet means you can't push off the ground to steer like ice skaters do (I'm not a physics major, though). Solution? Staves/spears, which can change in shape at your need if you've got a spren version (or just your hands, if you're like Lift). It was fun experimenting with referenes for this one. I used a combination of artistic roller skaters, speed skaters, and figure skaters, then took to playing around with canon things like shardplate, a more performative outfit... you get the gist.

Plus some Bridge 4 since I got really fixated on professional skydivers (specifically kuczynska.maja) for inspiration as to how Windrunners might move in the air. Ran out of steam to finish all of them, unfortunately.

My piece for the @cosmere-mini-bang event! This piece is depicting a scene featuring Beryl and Lyn from the fic "Five Steps to Radiant Comraderie", by TrishyEves.

I enjoyed being a part of this!

[trishyeves]

Forgot to post about this on tumblr!

Wrote this fic for the @cosmere-mini-bang, and am super proud of it!

It follows our favorite Windrunner gal Lyn, who has been assigned a Lightweaver to train with in order to build better unity between types of Radiant. Only problem: her assigned Lightweaver is Beryl, who is not only distressingly hot, she's also someone Lyn has a little past with.

Can they work well together? Are they able to understand each other? Are they gonna smooch?

Read and find out!

Cosmere Inktober – 8 salute

Well, I have to go Bridge four for that one. The idea was to explore what the salute means by having it done by different characters throughout the books: an affirmation of life, resilient optimism, deep respect, belonging and identity, a feeling of pride and honour, friendship, joy and confidence. All the good Bridge four feels.

---------------------------------- [image description: Row of eight panels of characters doing the bridge four salute with both arms crossed in front of their chests, their hands balled into fists. The first two pictures split it into two rows of four. Also there are two in progress versions of the line-up. One is the are the lines with shading in greyscale and the second with a gradient map coloring of deep red and purples, a blue for the mid-tones and a warm eggshell white for the lighter areas. From left to right: Rock as a bridgeman, although he has already his beard shaved and styled in Horneater style with the top of his head and his chin shaved. The Lopen doing the one armed version of the salute. He also wears a loose shirt, cloth pants and the bridgeman vest with a padded shoulder section. His right sleeve is tied in a knot where is arm is missing. He is grinning broadly. Water containers hanging from his shoulders. Teft is wearing a Kholin soldier uniform. The bridge four tattoo is adorning his forehead. He gives off serious sergeant energy. Renarin is also wearing the foot soldier uniform. His is lit from below like from a campfire in front of dark nightly background. His salute is a bit more cautious. His expression implies he is not necessarily sure of what he is doing but still kind of proud to be part of this. Rlain is doing the salute in tall and broad shouldered warform. His now too small uniform jacket is tied around his waist. The bridge tattoo can be made out on the forehead part of his helmet like carapace. Lyn does the salute in the windrunner uniform – a long coat with a flare from the hips and white sash around the waist. She blushes in a very happy and proud way in front of bright blue sky. Syl also wears the windrunner uniform, but with Kaladin's rank insignia on the forearms and shoulders. Her laugh is full of joy. Kaladin is a in a simple white button down, his hair in a ponytail. He looks happy and relaxed, casually doing the salute.]

Twok becomes funnier the more bridge 4 characters you learn are just irl people

Other authors go to their friends and say look what a nice cameo I gave you, sanderson puts his friends to war

Late for Femslash February but considering I started this art last femslash February, I figured better posted than unfinished forever 😅

This is from the end of my fic When You're With Me, I Can Soar. Rated Teen, 3000 words, Lyn/Laran. Spoilers for Rhythm of War!

Laughterspren erupted around them as Lyn joined Laran, overflowing with the idea that she hadn't lost her chance, that Laran was alive and here and they were together.

She cancelled her lashing and leaned back, taking in Laran’s bright smile, outshining the sun behind her. Lyn breathed it all in, the smell of wet leather and fresh rockbuds punctuated by moldy ichor. She heard the rushing of water somewhere below. She felt the heavy dampness slowly turning warm, lifting off her skin and swirling joyfully in the afternoon light. She saw Laran’s gorgeous dark violet eyes, gazing meaningfully at her.

Her heart swelled in a way that only a kiss could release, and she finally gave in.

What Your Preferred Kaladin Ship Says About You

[Minor spoilers for Stormlight]

Can the ships you like and/or write fanfiction for and/or read fanfiction for reveal something about you? Let’s say the answer is yes--what might your preferred Kaladin ship(s) say about you? 

1. Kaladin x Shallan

That scene in the chasms really got to you. You want to see two broken people raise each other up, preferably with a good helping of snark. Either that, or your love language is boot-stealing.

2. Kaladin x Adolin

You like a good rivals-to-lovers relationship, and you have a slight humiliation kink--it’s why you find yourself reading “bridgeboy” as romantic. 

3. Kaladin x Adolin x Shallan

Unlike Brandon Sanderson, you are no coward. 

4. Kaladin x Moash

You enjoy suffering. 

Or perhaps you just wish Sanderson hadn’t dropped the whole “the Alethi social system needs to burn” angle and still had Kaladin fighting against the system alongside Moash.

Which is to say--you enjoy suffering.

5. Kaladin x Lezian

You also enjoy suffering. The suffering of the characters, that is.

6. Kaladin x Lyn

Your ship was canon, but oh how briefly. I have to assume you write/read fix-it fanfic. 

7. Kaladin x Lewshi

You love a good, respectful, enemies to lovers slowburn. You say things like, “It’s about the yearning.” 

8. Kaladin x Renarin

I think you are probably a sweet person who wants only the best for your ships. You may have done a lot of research into epilepsy and how a fantasy doctor would talk about it.

10. Kaladin x Elhokar

I assume you are the type of person who says things like, “I want to put this man into a mason jar and shake him vigorously.”

11. Kaladin x Szeth

You probably have high hopes for the Shinover field trip. 

12. Kaladin x Rlain

You’d like to see these men explore their emotions...and presumably each other’s bodies.

13. Kaladin x Jasnah

You said “ace rights” and meant it with your whole chest.

14. Kaladin x Dalinar

You wish that a big strong man would look you in the eye and say in his deep, manly voice, “Your job is bad for your mental health. Quit right now. That is not a suggestion.”

15. Kaladin x Sleep

You just want to wrap Kaladin in a warm blanket until he feels better. 

That is to say, you love crack ships.
