Listening to words of radiance where Kaladin is learning how to walk on walls and ABSOLUTELY misheard “his instincts weren’t prepared to deal with this shift”

look i know the szeth prologue carries a lot of introductory information as to the magic system and how it can be used (and if there is one thing the cosmere in general excels at it is using the rules of a hard magic system in interesting ways for fight scenes) but it is so crazy that his internal monologue is so full of grief for what he is about to do and his first spoken line is "what am i? i'm sorry" and then he starts killing people in such an overcomplicated rube goldbergian way. why'd he lash a guy to the ceiling above an upright spear and just wait (fearspren spawning up around them) until the lashing broke and he impaled himself. you didnt have to do that man no one was around to see it

okay yeah yeah villain but the diagram is so cool you guys

Wall I made for this (featuring: Russian, Spanish, toki pona, DNA code, women's script, a few alphabets, some geometry and arithmetic, and a language that I invented, among other things. I had fun with this)

I think what really gets me the most about Reynie is how his consideration for others and great regard for fairness and justice is so central to his character. Like, obviously this shows itself in ways like him helping Rhonda even though she would be his competition for the test, refusing to cheat on said test because it wouldn't be fair to the other kids, etc., but specifically what kills me is that he figures out the solution to the maze because, when he's considering whether the color of the arrows is important, he thinks, "But that wouldn't be fair, because a colorblind kid wouldn't be able to tell," and that's what leads him to remember Rhonda saying they could do it with their eyes closed. He solves the puzzle because he thinks of one solution, then instantly thinks, "Well, if that were the solution, it'd be a bad puzzle because it wouldn't give everyone an honest shot." Anyway I love Reynie so much it's unreal

Words of Radiance, Ch. 62:

"Anyway, do not blame Elhokar. He was taking the advice of someone he trusted. Roshone, however, sought his own interests instead of those of the throne. He owned several silversmith shops . . . well, the details are not important. Suffice it to say that Roshone led the prince to make some errors. I cleared it up when I returned." "You saw this Roshone punished?" Kaladin asked, voice soft, feeling numb. "Exiled," Dalinar said, nodding. "Elhokar moved the man to a place where he couldn't do any more harm."

Stormlight reread: ob 111 Eile stele

So basically like bam it's in the spiritual realm and every time dalinar get's close to a unity/bondsmith thing it calls to him...

Right I'm not crazy

doing a stormlight archive reread before wind and truth comes out <3 just got to whitespine uncaged/the duel in words of radiance and GOD it truly does slap. also deeply deeply stupid. one guy runs away one guy gets sat on and adolin has a little giggle. and then the oppression and prejudice of the alethi court makes literally everything fall apart what a fun fun section

[radibe5]

For real, translations are my biggest love and my greatest enemy

Take for example The Last Olympian (pjo5) by Rick Riordan, translated by Mona de Pracontal

First chapter - hell, first page - Percy describes Rachel as such in the original:

[...] and she looked like a million golden drachmas.

Here's how it's translated in French:

[...] et là, c'était trop de la bombe.

Which translates approximately to "and she looked really hot" and I am never not gonna be mad about this. What warranted this, Mona??
