I said I was going to continue with Sanderson, but I still need to buy the books.
I am used to read on the train on the way to uni.
I started reading Shogun.
I finally finished reading elantris
(I finally finished a book?!)
(AAAAAA!)
These are the things that I loved about it!
Pacing! It was quick, with the right amount of descriptions
Everything is explained in a logical way. For example the reason behind the dirt that is all over elantris, why the Aons do not work etc..
Seons. I don't know, I liked them. They are a fun concept to implement in a fantasy book.
Some characters like: Raoden, Hrathen and Roial
What I did not particularly like:
I think that it is a common thought that Sarene was too much a "not like other girls" girl. While all the other women were treated like powerless or incompetent just because they did more feminine activities
We were ROBBED of some scenes between Raoden and his old friends, like Lukel and Shunden.
I would have loved to have more lore on the other cultures like jindo and duladel
i would also have loved to have a more in depth description of the secondary characters, but I do realize that the book is already long.
Aiden?? I was very intrigued by his character and I think that the truth was a bit lost in the whole scene.
The end. Just wanted to tell somebody.
Final thoughts: I really liked it, I will proceed with other Sanderson books!!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
that's it.
that's the book.
i love them so much
Sarene: Well, my husband's apparently dead, so I have nothing to do. Time to troll people in power. Ashe: Please don't troll the King, my lady. Sarene: Of course not. Ashe: Oh thank goodness Sarene: That would be too easy. Now, that religious crusader with the armor, psychopathic sidekick, and massive army of priests… he might be fun to play with Ashe: Oh sweet merciful Domi why *meanwhile in zombieland* Raoden: I am going to cure everyone's depression using shoes and history books Galladon: Pretty sure that hasn't ever worked Raoden: Of course it hasn't worked, it hasn't been done by ME yet.
I love Elantris so much. The rest of the Cosmere gives us complex backstories and traumas seasoned with snark and philosophy and epic magic systems. Elantris is just two separated soulmates who decided to punch fate in the face because they felt like it. Simple, but delicious.
Oh... so that's how it got up there.
BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT (SOON) MASTER POST
First and foremost, want to give a big shoutout to @thegunnsara now that I have finally finished their 3rd place prize with the inclusion of their amazing OC, Ibris. I still love their COVER from the Holiday Special Competition dearly! I'll be sure to slip Ibris into a few more scenes in the future. Sorry it took so long to finally get to him! I took some liberty with what his reaction would be to such a scene... hope I did him justice!
Hope you're all ready for some tension in the next update!
“celebrating characters bdays is cringe” FUCK that and happy birthday norman tpn

I'll just....leave this here....aaaaand run away... ‼️SPOILERS FOR CASS APOCALYPTIC SERIES‼️ @somerandomdudelmao Youtube: https://youtu.be/2OPr1RJAxZI Read the original amazing web series here: https://www.tumblr.com/somerandomdudelmao/710091900612476928/cass-apocalyptic-series-masterpost?source=share
ugh i need to drink with post-graduate suga i just know it would fix me >_>
Can't express how stress free being open minded is.
Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.
Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.
Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.
Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.
Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.
Me: *starts reading Elantris*
fandom: *dead*
fanfiction: *90% in russian*
posts on Lukel: *3*
posts in general: *7*
people who work/study in quantitative bio-adjacent fields, rise up. computational neuroscience where you get to see someone's thoughts in feelings in graph form??? so cool. biophysics where you can pass blood plasma through an electric field to determine whether a patient has cancer or not?? unbelievable. biomedical engineering where you can literally build a device to pump someone's heart and be the difference between their life and death??? oh my god. disease modelling, being able to predict AND prevent communities being affected by disease on a large scale through your analysis of data??? i love science
you know what isn't appreciated enough? the ways in which tsukishima takes after sugawara senpai~
it's not really emphasized by the framing of the anime like other character dynamics, but there are some pretty consistent tell-tale throughlines that hint at how much tsukki respects him. the obvious start is that tsukki never sasses or talks back to suga - sure, this is generally pretty true of all the third years, but i think he seems especially yielding to suga. suga even gets to hit him and mess up his hair, and tsukki will respond to him with reserved frustration but none of his usual irony - at worst, a very earnest "could you please stop?" he certainly has thoughts about it, but he actually exhibits resraint with that sharp tongue of his lolol i have to wonder if he holds back because suga somewhat reminds him of akiteru, who plays a similar role of being supportive, guiding, and sincere.
as for volleyball, we see from the get-go whenever he steps on the court that suga is actually a very intellectual player. he keeps a keen eye on where everyone is on the court, measuring where their strengths and weaknesses are, so that even if he doesn't have hinata's attack speed, kageyama's precision, or tsukki's high blocks, he can pinpoint the exact weak spot that only needs that little push to come apart. and then he tugs on that thread to see how much of the enemy team's formation he can unravel. his strategy is consistently on point, not unlike the play style we see tsukishima adopt as he grows out of his shell.
and i'm sure that's partially just because they happen to have a natural inclination toward the mental game of volleyball. but there are also very specific on-court habits that appear to be directly modeled after suga. the first time we get to really see suga's strength in action in s1, he's running all over his team's side of the court saying "hey you, come here, i have an idea," integrating each and every member of the team in the way that best suits their abilities. the play suga specifically asked tsukki to try is the strategic blocker switch. tsukki even tries to give him his due credit for a well-called play, but suga explains it like it's actually a really easy call to make. it's not really shown, but i do genuinely think something clicked into place for tsukki that expanded the ways he can read the court.
by season 2, tsukki is using a very similar thought process to predict where kyotani will hit and do the blocker switch with tanaka. and i don't think it's a coincidence that this is during their rematch with seijoh, the team against whom suga originally deployed this strategy.
we see tsukishima further mirror suga's play style (albeit adapted to the position of a blocker) in s3 as he becomes more confident and comfortable with his role in the team and on the court. he begins to take the initiative to conceptualize plays to share with his teammates, walking up to them individually like "ちょっと..." and asking if the team would trust him to make certain calls.
it's these little moments of behavior borrowed from suga that open tsukishima up to his teammates, especially his fellow first-years, and become that first cornerstone upon which they build up to a near-blind trust in each other throughout s4. the only one on karasuno aside from tsukki and suga who even sometimes makes these kinds of plays is kageyama, who is more directly suga's mentee by position, but arguably takes after him less than tsukishima does.
Ask prompt: 82 with Karasuno boys driving for the first time after getting their license with their teammates along for the ride....to varying degrees of success lol
82: one driving, other passenger
Asahi's first time driving the team around!
rip suga you would've loved 2024 humor
bonus:
I recently did a binge watch of Blue Lock. As soon as this scene with Chigiri and the creepy long black aired guy (Aryu) popped up...
I could not think about this scene with Kurama and the creepy long black aired guy (Karasu) yu yu hakusho.
the only thing that differs is that in the first case Aryu compliments Chigiri's hair, in the second case Karasu basically told Kurama that he had shitty human hair LOL
naps 🌆

ive been on an inazuma eleven kick lately. heres the dynamic of THE trio ever.
[ID: A digitally drawn comic of Toph and Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender talking about Zuko’s scar.
It begins with Toph approaching Zuko, who is sitting near a campfire. “You have a scar?” she asks. Zuko replies, "Oh! Uh, yeah… You didn’t…?“ Toph cuts him off and says, "Came up in passing with the other guys.” Toph casually makes herself a seat out of rock and sits down next to him. “Must be pretty badass if everyone assumes I know it’s there, too,” she continues. Zuko looks aside awkwardly and says, “… It’s on my face.” “Ah.” Toph replies.
Zuko says, “Maybe you could… feel it?” “Huh?” says Toph. “I guess, if I concentrate hard enough.” Zuko reaches for Toph’s hand. “Uhm, just with your hand, if you want,” he says. “I don’t think I can describe it.” “… Gotcha. Guide my hand then, boss,” Toph says. Zuko does so, and there’s a pause as Toph touches his scar. The fire reflects in her eyes.
As Toph pulls her hand away, Zuko says, “…. You know, my left eye is almost blind, too.” “Seriously?!” Toph exclaims. “Why aren’t we a tag team yet?! The blind bandit and the half-blind dweeb!” “Come on…!” Zuko moans. End ID]
id by @strawberrygiorno , thank you!
i’ve had this comic sketched out for months but only decided to finish it now, it’s based on something i drew a couple years back of toph and zuko….don’t think too hard on when or how this takes place because i don’t really know either! it’s just a concept i’ve always wanted to draw
Husk: you might be able to make Angel happy
Husk: but I can do that too, and maybe even better than you
