Suo Hayato sketches because I desperately need a distraction from jjk leaks

I kind of love Suo he's got curtain bangs, loves tea and is absolutely nasty when he's angry I've never felt so represented

[legendary-cookies]

I finally found clear images of their designs, so I had to draw them

I also made some extra doodles both to not leave Fire out and to practice my Chinese again lmao

Please correct my Chinese if it's wrong!

I've been seeing a lot of fun predictions for stormlight 5 but I haven't seen a lot of people mentioning the smoking gun that's just been waiting around since book 1:

(1) every major Rosharan city lies within an oddly symmetrical crater (2) there used to be a city where the shattered plains are (3) the cracks in the shattered plains look an awful lot like frequency patterns (like from a tuning fork) (4) frequency and rhythm are really big things on Roshar

I think it's not unlikely that there's a superweapon on Roshar that was capable of just... breaking cities. Possibly one known by the Dawnsingers, possibly one introduced with human arrivals from Ashyn, but definitely something big. And, notably, there is a very important city to the protagonists right now, and we're coming up to the middle point of the overarching plot. It would not be surprising if someone very old (read: a Fused, or possibly the Bondsmith Herald) remembered that there was a superweapon around and decided to use it on Urithiru.

mmmm thinkin' again about the frog wind ancient thing, this time looking a bit fucked up :)

ofc i dont know what im doing why do u ask

[kingjasnah]

WaT book description from Tor dropped... 👀

HI shallan/ren/rlain???? sigzil and VENLI??? if we hadn't known about the shinovar road trip for years maybe id be less surprised by the other groupings but wow. as for what can be found in the spiritual realm.....maybe it's too early to start racking up speculations but after the lost metal maybe we should all clock some coppermind hours in the next couple of months to see who or what could possibly be making an appearance

i like the starks i would never say a bad word against the starks but there is a certain degree of speculation for asoiaf which bows to heavily to them as the central characters. and while obviously they are going to be important in the end of the story, i don't think ideal endings for jaime, brienne, or theon necessarily involve atoning for the sins that they committed (indirectly, in briennes case) against the starks. brienne uses oathkeeper on her journey to save sansa, but that doesn't necessarily mean she will or should return oathkeeper to the starks at the end as a way of honoring ned/ice. that's her sword! same with theon sacrificing himself for the starks - there's so much more to theon's story at this point than his betrayal of robb, and he's currently reunited for asha. there's nothing wrong with theon's story involving him. you know. being a greyjoy

[given-tree]

I honestly think that next chapter, Sakura is going to find out (or get confirmation) that Akari is protecting herself in her own way (mental fortitude), but similar ways to how Sakura learned to protect himself (through strength and physical fighting.) Basically, I think he's going to learn that there's more than one way to be strong and just how far that strength can go to protect the people you hold dear.

My Earnest Hopes & Dreams for Wind and Truth

Happy Wind and Truth Eve everyone! I just wanted to send out into the universe all of my hopes and dreams for this book--maybe a few of them will come true.

This post is safe if you've read through Rhythm of War! No WAT preview spoilers. Does refer to fan theories about WAT if that matters to you.

PLEASE do not put any Wind & Truth spoilers in the tags or notes of this post as you read!

Kaladin lives.

Kaladin lives and is happy.

There's a really cool Kaladin fight. Maybe two.

Kaladin & Szeth have to fight someone together.

Leshwi has a significant role.

There's a really cool Leshwi fight.

Adolin is NOT Odium's champion.

Adolin lives.

Shallan lives (I'm not super worried about her for whatever reason but I couldn't just include two of the three, you know?)

Rlain & Renarin romance.

Rlain & Renarin romance that isn't like tragic or awkward or anything. I request warm & fuzzy plz.

Shallan & Thaidakar meet.

MeLaan cameo.

...I notice the MeLaan cameo.

Rock returns or at least is in the book somehow.

Kaladin hits his head on a doorframe in Shinovar.

Navani invents something cool.

Navani thinks about Raboniel.

We get the third Bondsmith.

The third Bondsmith isn't human.

We find out that there are more than five Radiant oaths (pet theory that I want to be right about)

Hemalurgy gets used.....I know that would be bad but I think it would be interesting.

Hemalurgy doesn't get used on anyone I care about!!

Shallan doesn't incorporate Radiant.

Maya cure.

The theory that Shallan's mother was a Herald is confirmed. I think it's a cool theory.

Bondsmith powers used for a fight. I think it would be cool.

Satisfying Sanderlanche.

Kaladin meets a sheep. Or a dog. Or BOTH.

I don't cry too hard...

hey what if the over burdened teenagers were happy and in love actually

[emnesoi]

this is the briefest possible summary i can write for the most recent executive order:

organizations which provide gender-affirming care to people under 19 will no longer receive government funding.

studies which support the necessity of gender-affirming care will be categorically rejected as pseudoscience.

So Roshar's terrestrial ecosystem is essentially a giant, land-based tidepool, and the Highstorm is the high tide rolling in, right?

Storm rains bring crem, which not only counteracts the storm erosion but also provides the minerals that "plants" and crustaceans need to build their shells. Greatshells and singers use the Investiture in the storm to bond spren, pupate, and change forms in order to complete their lifecycles.

In other words, the entire planet is dependent on the Highstorm in order to survive, and now that the storm is dead, the entire world east of Shinovar is FUCKED, right?

I guess what I'm getting at is that Ba Ado Mishram better hurry tf up and reboot the Highstorm.
