mistborn more like mistdead. because you know—
I finished my fic for @fandomtrumpshate this year! It’s a Szeth/Bale in Braize AU for the amazing @blindradiant and I’m so excited!!! I stretched my writing muscles for this because I don’t usually right as much action and angst as this! 😅

Anger was not what made Szeth’s heart constrict, what roiled and settled deep within his gut. It was… he did not know what it was. Only the loss of something he’d once thought he held, only a question breathed into the dark - did he have worth - and a yawning, gaping absence. He knew he was a tool. Knew Nin was meant to wield him. But there were times he’d held him like a weapon lowered, like something that did not need to kill. Like someone.
so one of my dad’s best friends is reading mistborn and he’s on the third book and to avoid spoilers he just starts screaming “no no no no spoilers no” whenever I open my mouth
I wonder when branderson realized he wasn’t just writing an epic fantasy but one of the most beautiful stories about dealing with mental health and recovery and healing also
just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how kickstarter works so I could get in on Fires of December
chat I think I’m an idiot
I read Yumi and the Nightmare Painter over the weekend. I don’t have much to say, it was pretty good, I liked the romance, the plot twists and Hoid becoming a coat hanger. It was a fun standalone. I thought the Painter might have a talent for Forgery from The Emperor’s Soul when he started identifying the past of the rocks he was supposed to stack :) The book gets 8/10, it was an easy read.

Would A Spren Help Gains Baltar (Battlestar Galactica)?
The Nahel Bond Would Help Them
The Nahel Bond Wouldn’t Affect Them
The Nahel Bond Would Make Them Worse (Positive)
The Nahel Bond Would Make Them Worse (Negative)
Submitted propaganda: He’s responsible for the death of 99% of the human race and he’s desperately trying to hide from his mistakes. Maybe even atone for them, but he’s doing a terrible job at it. Perhaps a second magic friend supernaturally bonded to him and giving advice will do a better job at teaching him self acceptance than the first
I got a bit too drunk and rambled to my friend/player about now investiture works in the Rosharan system. He’s learning things about his radiant order and fabrials and just how easy it is for radiants to be like “I infuse this thing with x amount of Stuff, and yeah! I just do the thing. Ta-da! :)”
“Storming fools. Shouldn’t have followed me. Proud of them anyway.”
Rereading ‘Words’ in The Way of Kings, and the number of typos I made writing this quote I know better than the back of my hand is embarrassing, but every time I read this part my fingers shake as badly as if I was the one suddenly drained of Stormlight having drawn a hundred arrows to myself to protect my Bridge Four.
Crazy. Strange. Queer and incredible.
Anyways, I have been hard at work thinking about how cool it would be if some of the dead shardblades came in the form of axes, hammers, and polearms. Like I understand that they’re all swords on a meta level to justify the lighteyed obsession with swords, and are all swords in universe because they were locked into their ceremonial forms… but still. Where is my stuck up lighteyes wearing the corpses of spren, wielding the corpse of a sentient spren in the form of a giant fuck off warhammer.
All this thinking just to say: I have an unhealthy obsession with historical crow’s beak warhammers
I’m ready for the new cosmere show to make Moash gay as fuck like pls Brandon just make Moash gay!!! He literally took Kaladin on a date
I LOVED Steris since she first appeared with her binder of marriage requisitions. (Which is a thing I always thought I would do if I lived in a society with arranged marriages).
And I NEVER associate it that it is because I’m her and I think Brando is spying on me.
And I came to the realisation because in 2 months we have an international client coming to my office and I asked for our schedule that week so I can speak with my daycare to get an extra hour. TWO MONTHS. My child already does reduced schedule 😂 I could let them know a week or a day in advance. But NO. I need two months.
I also like to plan my friends and family’s holidays when they travel abroad for tourism.
So, yeah. I’m her. And I’m a wasted talent of planning 😂😂
I’m not halfway through The Way of Kings and I’m already mentally getting way ahead of myself and psyched up for Kaleshwi… calm down me
