“Murder?” Pattern said, placing another soldier. “Oh, you mean murder! Shallan is good at murder. Yes, mmmmm…..”

“Pattern,” she said, “please don’t say it that way.”

“She is good,” Pattern corrected himself, “at making people who were once alive and threatening, unalive and unthreatening. Mmmm. Very good at it.”

I’ve recently dove headlong into The Stormlight Archive and I’m wildly obsessed with these idiots.

Behold: Adolin, Shallan, and Kaladin. I want to smush them together like dolls to make them kiss.

Well it started with me listening to Colgera's theme while thinking about stormlight and then this happened

[knightsgaydiant]

I love how the cryptic-lightweaver relationship is essentially a little weirdo math nerd attaching themselves to the most extra theatre kid they can find and just following them around all day going “mmmmm interesting”

[tildeathiwillread]

Renarin: "We could... um... find these GhostBloods and just... uhhh..."

Shallan: "Just what?"

Pattern, as narrated by Kate Reading:

[mr-jaybird]

finally finished the words of radiance miniatures pack!

[chill-reading-books]

Bahahahaha

After Shallan and Adolin do the do in the newly reactivated/reinvented/rediscovered shower,

She looked up and found Pattern dimpling the stone of the wall. "Don't say it," she told him, climbing to her feet. "What?" he said. "It's absolutely allowed, even encouraged now."

"No mating" reference! 💯😆

Long time no post… heres some radiants (>ᴗ•)

Exactly one person asked me to continue drawing spren as dragons, and I will take any excuse I can get, so here you go! Simple drawings of dragon Syl, Pattern, Wyndle, and Timbre!

[tenebris-lux]

Syl’s opinion on Adolin, chapter 10, Oathbringer.

And Pattern’s opinion on Adolin, chapter 18.

Syl’s like, “Look, I can’t just look the other way at that; it’s messed up.” And Pattern’s like, “It is unsettling, yes, but if you look at it this way, it’s understandable.” Syl: “Still fucked up.”

I REALLY WANT a story about a Windrunner and a Lightweaver building a strong relationship!! Platonic, professional, romantic or otherwise!!

Gonna preface this with: NO WINDS OF TRUTH SPOILERS PLEASE! A WoR & Oathbringer spoiler or two present in the next two paragraphs:

When I read Words of Radiance for the first time, I was *fascinated* by Shallan and Kaladin's dynamic (aside from the boots thing 😅) and enthusiastically shipped them for a little while. I no longer think their specific traumas and journeys complement each other's as well as I thought... (as a pair at least...) But!

The point is, while I no longer ship those two specifically, I still want what I loved about the idea at first. One of the things I found most exciting and compelling about a hypothetical close relationship was the worldview challenges they'd provide each other through the contrast of Windrunner + honorspren and Lightweaver + cryptic. One spren who hates lies and sees the world through honor and paths and protecting people (and a knight a little prone to black-and-white thinking at times too), and another spren who loves lies and their interplay with truth, with a knight who weaves between various darker and lighter greys of "truth" with alacrity.

The steadfastness/courage/strength integrity of the Windrunner, meeting the nuance and insight and creativity of the Lightweaver! Delightful!!

The Lightweaver would force the Windrunner to reckon with shades of grey in morality, others, and themself and think in a more nuanced way, while the Windrunner would encourage the Lightweaver to face up to the world more, to do the harder bolder thing and take a stand when they need to.

The Windrunner could ground the Lightweaver, providing a safe place to return to where they know what's real and steady and true, while the Lightweaver could bring more spontaneity and wonder and variety to the Windrunner!

Ohhh and the cryptic and honorspren having to get through centuries of built-up tension between their groups to gain more understanding and respect for each other's ways of functioning?? Mwah chef's kiss!

I'm no writer just a reader, are any of y'all picking up what I'm putting down? Has anybody done something like this that you know of? I honestly haven't looked much yet bc I didn't even know what to search (making tags for this post gave me ideas to try though! 😂) It took me waayy too long just to write this post, writing is like trudging though sludge for me so don't tell me to be the change I wanna see, I'll just daydream concepts here and there if that's my options 😝 my imagination can quite suffice if needed.

Ahh I just wanna see Characters in Situations that make them Question their Worldview and find themselves Changed through Relationship!!

Question the nature of morality! Work through centuries-long conflicts and prejudices! Meet each other's emotional needs through complementary character traits and styles! Go!

Yeah that's my vision
