#the words of radiance

'He shifted to move to climb down, but realized that Shallan, curled up against him, had fallen asleep. She snored softly.

“You must be the only person,” he whispered, “to ever fall asleep while outside in a highstorm.”

Uncomfortable though he was, he realized he really didn’t fancy the idea of climbing down with this wounded leg. Strength sapped, feeling a crushing darkness, he let himself succumb to the numbness, and fell asleep.'

The trauma kids. They’ve come a long way since the boots moment, though they just stopped calling each other names a few hours ago.

 I'm slowly inching closer to a Kaladin I’m 100% happy with. I'm at ninety-something, I’d say.

My sweet sweet Shallan. It took me awhile to really be able to imagine her on paper and I really wanted to capture her enthusiasm, hesitancy, anxiety, and self-consciousness. She truly is one of my favorite character out there because of how real she feels through the workings of a teenager who is dealing with her personal trauma in the midst of tragic world events.

I like shallan, but damn she can be such a bore to read about at her worst.

Continuing on with Words of Radiance. Loving these Adolin and Kaladin interactions.

I need people to know that my tumblr is mostly being used for my shameful fanart tendencies. If you wanna see more of my personal art find me on instagram under pool.maintenance.art

accidentally thought about words of radiance for more than 20 minutes and relapsed

It's alright Dalinar, babe, he got this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- image description: A loosely scribbled and coloured comic page with several panels in four rows of the scene in Words of Radiance in which Kaladin joins the duel in the arena. The background in the panels is painetd very patchily implying the seats of the arena with half roofs offering shadow from the sun above. The first row has two panels, on the left we see an agitaed Dalinar, in his blue uniform with gold and white trimmings, as he leans forward, hands on the wall of the dueling pit in front of him, calling out "What happened to us?", "Where is our honor?". A smaller speechbubble to the side contains the words "Honor is dead". The panel to the right depicts Dalinar looking to the side to see who gave that cynical commentary. Kaladin stands there not far behind him, also in captain's uniform holding his spear and looking very grim. The next row has two smaller and on medium sized panel, they all show Kaladin from the side in profile – as Dalinar would see him. He inhales like he is fortifying himself for what comes next. On the exhale he looks down into the arena with mix of resignation and determination and utters the words "But I'll see what I can do." The speechbubble for it is already in the next panel, in which Kaladin is gazing towards us with a mournful expression as he says "If this goes poorly, take care of my men."

The third and fourth row are both each one long horizontal panel. The third row shows Kaladin as he vaults himself over the wall in the foreground. Dalinar stares at him seeming very shocked. The panel in the last row is a top down view into the arena. Kaladin stands in front of six people, four of them Shardbearers in full plate all now turning towards him. On the far left is Relis in his black plate holding a big shardblade. Adolin kneels next to him in the sand of the arena holding his broken shoulder. To his right stand Elis with a shardhammer in a grey plate, then Adrobar in a orange one with a blade. Further to the right is Jakamav in his green plate and the king's blade, Renarin standing blade- and plateless next to him.

Inktober Day 17 - Necessary

Adolin in his own chapters: I must show them the brutality of war. Sadeas must be killed. I am the greatest duelist in Alethkar, and I will fufill my fathers dream. Adolin in Kaladins chapters: Hehe hey Bridgehoy go steal Elhokars underwear or something then I’ll respect you. Oh hey Shallan want to go golfing

Adolin in Shallans chapters: Careless whisper plays absurdly loud

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)*

“I’m sorry, Kal,” Moash said, stepping forward. “I should have made it quick at the start.”

The Words, Kaladin. That was Syl’s voice. You have to speak the Words!

I FORBID THIS.

YOUR WILL MATTERS NOT! Syl shouted. YOU CANNOT HOLD ME BACK IF HE SPEAKS THE WORDS! THE WORDS, KALADIN! SAY THEM!

“I will protect even those I hate,” Kaladin whispered through bloody lips. “So long as it is right.”

A Shardblade appeared in Moash’s hands.

A distant rumbling. Thunder.

THE WORDS ARE ACCEPTED, the Stormfather said reluctantly.

some kaladin sketches i made while reading the way of kings

[sebarial-the-economist]

When Kaladin and Shallan fall into the chasms and they both know they survived because they're radiants, but they don't want the other person to know. It's hilarious. They're so worried about their own terrible lies that they don't think about the fact the other person is lying too.
