"Yes, Renarin knew emotion. Today he basked in it. This was the future he wanted. It wasn’t the one that others might have chosen, and wasn’t one that many would have chosen for him. He wasn’t even certain it was right, but it was what he wanted. He would merely have to hope that those who cared for him would understand that the decision was his to make, not theirs." Brandon Sanderson, Wind and Truth

An origins comic for my first ever stormlight au, "Tien Finds a Very Special Rock," or what I also affectionately call "Literally the Most Obvious AU for Szeth Stans Reading WoK." Originally I figured he'd take the oathstone from the belongings of a terminal patient, but I think it's important to me for the vibes of this au that Tien acquires it in the most innocent and innocuous way possible. This au is a fun one, Tien lives and becomes a lightweaver, Kaladin remains a surgeon, and the parents lose their minds when they eventually realize they've been harboring the assassin in white.

Thank you @to-shards-you-say for the image ID's (seriously tysm, I really didn't feel like doing it), and @highly-invested for writing the death rattle, and @taravangians-storming-balls for spren reference materials. And thank you all for reading along, as I slowly figure out how to draw comics. <3

I fully believe that Nohadon is Reason in disguise because no one can convince me that Reason's MO(Intent) wouldn't be to act like Socrates, asking people questions to get them to Reason out their own conclusions.

Old art from 2023. You're welcome Kalmoash Nation. 🫡

Image Description by @taravangians-storming-balls (Duplicate of which is under the cut for redundancy sake)

A fully colored illustration of Kaladin and Moash passed out and snoozing on the bus together. Moash is draped above Kaladin's seat, his shoulders propped up on the row in front of them while his legs are dangled over the row behind them, resting his cheek against his fist while he sleeps. Kaladin is sitting in the seat under Moash, face leaned against Moash's leg, his curly hair messy and falling into his eyes and over Moash's leg. Moash is wearing black scuffed jeans, black boots, a black shirt and a black zippered jacket with the hood partially up over the back of his head. His shirt is riding up just a little bit, and he also has ear piercings and black nail polish. Kaladin's outfit is almost entirely covered up by Moash on top of him, but he has on faded blue jeans with holes in the knees. The background and seats of the bus are a faded photograph, but Kaladin and Moash are fully painted.

[oblivious to sexual dynamics] ohhh are you guys playing knights and princesses? can i be like a grizzled mercenary captain? i could teach the soldiers in matters of arms and project a gruff and unyielding yet ultimately kind and fatherly demeanour. if you guys are looking for a third. player

Jasnah: Of course, one of the ultimate tragedies of studying history is that we can never truly know what happened in the past. Archaeology, oral history, and written documents can help us interpret the past, but it's not as if the Heralds are around to explain the rise and fall of the Knights Radiant to us.

people often call lirin a bad father for the way he treats kaladin, and i get it, if you had a shitty father growing up, he probably isn't the easiest to read about, but also, and i cannot stress this enough: lirin is traumatised. yes, in the everyone is traumatised series. specifically, he is traumatised by the deaths of his sons. yes, kaladin came back - but his little boy tien still died on the front lines, and kaladin was sold into slavery! his son was branded, sold into slavery, and turned into someone completely unrecognisable. lirin has very firmly entrenched morals - he is a pacifist, but he's also deeply defiant, so he resists oppression in the small ways that he can. he heals anyone he can, he stole from his lord to give his son a better life, he even helps venli and rlain resist the occupation of urithiru - if unwillingly. he grew up and lived through gavilar's conquest of alethkar. he's very used to and tired of seeing death. the specific incident that makes him yell at kaladin that he's a monster is kaladin killing multiple people in front of him! that's not reason to call your own son a monster, but it's entirely understandable that in the heat of the moment his frustration, anger, and, yes, trauma would boil over like that. he's a flawed man, but he is also deeply good and kind and brave man.
