I've been relistening to Warbreaker recently, so here's a redraw of a Siri I'd done back when I was first reading the book :)

Process and original drawing under the cut.

[zarisdonut]

Okay so update on my reading journey, I finished The Way of Kings!!!!

Here are my final thoughts, v summed up cause there's a lot of info to process but these are the main ones:

The way the whole book Dalinar's like 'omg i cant imagine living without my shardblade id be so miserable :((((' but then he trades it to get Sadeas' bridgemen???? Cause life is priceless but so is his blade so by trading 1 priceless blade for a bunch of priceless lives, he got a bargain???? Literally made me tear up.

I love how honorable Dalinar and Kaladin are. they truly feel like two sides of the same coin (idk if i used that expression right). They love their men, would do anything for them, and idk. They are such good leaders like I love them. I cant wait to see them work together in the future books. I hope i get some kind of father/son type of relationship. Im so excited to find out!!!

Also like, its v funny to me how Kaladin's only 19-20. Like, wdym ur getting bossed around by a fucking kid, grow tf up????

Now, Adolin? He got a special place in my heart. Mid 20s and totally acts his age. Sure he is hot-headed, and a bit pushy, but he's so competent and caring and he acknowledges his mistakes???? Idk, he felt so real to me. Big fan of him btw.

Elhokhar i hope u know ur a fucking bitch.

Sadeas and Dalinar's relationship... Lemme just say that I love some old man toxic yaoi. Like, wdym ur ex best friend/(lowkey) rival now turned ally has betrayed you but still, when ur abt to die fighting the big boy parshendi shardbearer, a situation he put you in btw, u still think that the man coming to save you is still Sadeas???? I know what you are, Dalinar Kholin, and what you are is a fucking simp.

That said, Dalinar and Navani are so fucking cute, actually. Barely shows up in this book but i can already tell Navani's a bad bitch and you know what? That's exactly what Dalinar deserves.

I cant wait for Dalinar and Jasnah's family reunion like yay ur lit my fav duo and you haven't even shared a physical space in this book.

Shallan crushing on Jasnah cause of course she is, fork found in kitchen. Still, i appreciated it :)

And Jasnah's whole thing with the faux soul caster???? Oh, I can already tell she's going to be one powerful mf in future books. I can't wait.

Also Shallan and Jasnah teamup???? i love my little hero/sidekick dynamic

Going back to Kaladin, bridge four is my fucking family if anything happens to them I'm cancelling my subscription to life like idgaf. Teft and Rock my best bros please don't die

And Kaladin being able to inhale stormlight???? iktr my powerful king!!!!

Also Hoid??? Being Wit????? Hello???? Gagged. Love that he came, insulted some people, confused Kaladin and me, and left. My king, actually

Aside from all of that, I found this book so good but also quite frustrating cause I want to know things but wdym that after reading a 1000 pages, I'm still confused???? Maybe even more confused than I was before starting it???? But what rlly shocks me is the fact that Im not mad abt this at all. I just read the longest introduction to a fictional world of my entire life and I'm sitting here, fucking amazed that I get to experience this story. Crazy. But do you know who's crazier? Fucking Brandon Sanderson for coming up with this entire world, making it work and making it so alluring, that you cannot put the book down. Like, that's father.

And this is it for now, I'll keep updating and doing silly lil posts bc I found that writing all my thoughts helps me understand and process all the information better so there's that :))))))

[decubitous]

I truly think that the strongest thing a Sanderson fan can do is to decide to close the book and go the fuck to sleep when you reach the 75ish percent mark.

Because like I know the sanderlanch is just around the corner. I know that I only have a couple of hours left until I finish the book. I know that the most mind-boggling ending is just a few chapters further. But girl is it 12:45 AM and your sleep schedule is already fucked and you have shit to do tomorrow. Go to sleep.

The best part about reading a Brandon Sanderson book is that every time you read it around someone else they are obligated to say some form of “wow! Big book!” and it brings back gifted kid™ emotions i haven’t felt since the accident

Thinking about how easily Adolin slipped into the “caretaker” role in Shadesmar. The way he stayed with Kaladin and kept talking to him and deflected all his insults just seemed so practiced. And then with Shallan it just seemed like he knew exactly what to say. He’s just so good at comforting people, to a degree that he had to have had some experience. I can’t help but think about 12/13 year old Adolin who’s just lost his mother and who’s father can barely look at him and is quickly becoming an alcoholic due to his guilt (although Adolin doesn’t know that’s the reason.) He’s completely shattered, his world has just been completely upended, and yet he can’t let himself grieve properly, because he’s got a nine year old brother who just lost the only parent he was close to, and Renarin needs him. How many times did he push aside his own grief and pretend to be strong so that Renarin would have someone to cry to? How many times did he hold him and tell him everything would be ok, even though he was barely keeping himself together. And yet, even after all that, he’s still so good. He’s honorable and kind, always ready to defend his family, and he still sees beauty in the world. He’s one of the best, most lovable people in the series, and I think it’s a crime that more people don’t recognize this.

I only read this much of chapter 14 of Wind and Truth and had to pause to make this meme 😂

“Why did your bridge crew come for us? Why, really?”

“Why did you give up your Shardblade?”

DALINAR AND KALADIN THE ONLY MEN THAT DESERVE RIGHTS LIKE LOOK AT THEM. I LOVE MY BOYS

[milieumarch]

I hate when I'm getting into a new fandom and I meet The Blorbo and I have to grudgingly concede that they are great. Like, yeah, y'all were right about Kaladin Stormblessed.
