etho saying to grian "i think im gonna let you guys succeed this cause... it's you and cleo". even out of their presence, he defended them, insisted that his death wasn't grian's fault, told the other's pointblank he wouldn't kill cleo or grian.

he covered for both of them several times over, not only to his own detriment, but to the detriment of the entire server. because of etho, everyone failed. he would choose his teammates over anyone and anything, even the good of the many, even himself

'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 was at the beach in South Carolina a couple months ago and saw so many pelicans. I knew I had to do a painting of them when I got back. What do you guys think?

i haven't watched pearl's episode yet. but there's something to be said about the fact that she knew scar well enough to know that, when it was the two of them, he would have too much pride to accept a sacrifice.

she doesn't want to win, and she tells him at first before she quietly tucks that secret back into its shell after scar's indignant reaction to her first attempt at self-sacrifice. she lets scar forget about it as they kill gem, and then as scar kills pearl. at no point does she try to say here, let me give this to you. she knows scar, but she also knows the pain of an ending like that.

but she misses a few swings, doesn't she? her legs don't move as quickly to duck away from his arrows. and isn't that familiar? isn't that something like a cactus ring, with two unrelenting fists and two half-hearted ones: a fight with two unwilling participants, a fight that was over before it ever really began at the insistence of one of its patrons

pearl is all too familiar with the sting of sacrifice, but then on the other side of things... scar knows all too well the tragedy of gifted victory, doesn't he?

“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.

My baby girl is almost finished! I’ve been in love with her character since book one and I really wanted to portray her uneasiness, slight awkwardness, and still complete mischievousness. ✨

Awww! Thanks for the pumpkin! I am sending Sun and Moon back to you with something we quickly put together over here.

Fingers brush softly,

Over keys of memories,

Echoes fill the night.
