Radiant, Veil and Formless.

she’s an artist. she’s got DID and it’s not villainized. her armor is a bunch of tiny freaks in a trench coat. she’s good friends with one sword and traumatized another as a child but they are rebuilding that relationship. she infiltrated the mafia. her husband supports trans rights and I think she does too but this hasn’t been confirmed and probably won’t be for at least 3-5 years in our timeline. probably more. she needs therapy but was probably one of the reasons it was invented. she’s also ginger. I’m not saying who it is but you know who it is.

This is easily THE most niche fanart series I’ve ever drawn: Stormlight Archive meets Barbie!

I was thinking about how Adolin is basically the Ken of the main characters, and then I wanted to draw Barbie-themed posters of Shallan, Radiant, and Veil, and it all spiraled out of control from there.

Honestly, this was some of the most fun I’ve had drawing in a while (especially Kaladin lol). Also, it was really fun coming up with each of the poster subtitles 😂

Cosmere Inktober day 9: Shielded

I went a little more abstract today and decided to draw Shallan + Veil + Radiant to show how each part of Shallan’s system works to keep her safe.

shallan be like "oh no, I don't have the experience for this", "oh no I'm not ready for this" then pretend like she does, takes it to far and create an entire personality about it and be like "oh no I have multiple personality disorder" "oh no there goes my mental health"

Hello all! Here's a Stormlight Archive observation I'd like to share. Shallan's coping mechanisms are not:

❌ Veil

❌ Radiant

Veil, Radiant, and headmates in general are actually people! How would you feel if someone called you a coping mechanism or an unhealthy coping mechanism, or implied or outright said that you were not real? Yes, Veil and Radiant are characters, but there are also systems who exist in real life and can hear how you talk about them.*

To be fair, I know that for the first two books, Brandon Sanderson himself was not writing Radiant and Veil as their own people, and there is an argument to be made that he never fully pivoted away from that, but I believe/hope that we as a fandom can do better than him.

In addition, what Shallan's coping mechanisms are, from my observation:

Drawing, to distract herself from things that are stressing her out.

Being a scholar, especially in the earlier books.

Dissociation, which, interestingly, in the flashback chapters seems to be fully blanking out for a while, and in current time is written more as active repression (maybe so that Shallan can just decide not to repress her memories and achieve Character Development more easily? Not sure.)

This is kinda a sneak peak of a giant character analysis of Shallan that I've been doing for a while. I got stuck writing down quotes in Oathbringer, but I've been picking it up again recently. I hope to be posting more thoughts from that in the future:]

*I am the host of one of those systems who see y'all posting. just to make it clear
