I Realized Halfway Through Writing This That Parts Of It Are Incredibly Cheesy. Then I Realized That

I meant to draw this back in November when I first read the asexual Jasnah chapter, but uh . . . better late than never, right?

Reading the chapter that revealed Jasnah was ace was one of the happiest moments of my life. No joke, I went to bed that night grinning so hard it hurt the next morning. If there was any doubt about it before, Brandon Sanderson is definitely my favorite author now. Ace Jasnah is awesome.

I understand people being a little disappointed she's not homoromantic or 100% lesbian, but just remember that's she's not heteroromantic either--since the only romances she's ever been in (in any iteration of the Stormlight archive) have been with Taln (WoKP) and Hoid (RoW), she's clearly actually infiniromantic--romantically attracted to people who are at least a few millennia old and way too knowledgeable for anyone's good.

(Also, yes, I will be using ace Jasnah as an excuse to draw her exclusively using purple palettes. I mean, I would've anyway because something about her is just purple, but now I have an excuse.)

Sharing books is so intimate. It's like . . . here is a book with hundreds of pages, I've touched each one of them and now you will too. Here's something I've cradled against my heart to keep it dry in the rain, and now you get to hold it too. Here's the thing that's lain on the table beside me as I sleep, and now it'll lay next to you. Here's the thing that's traveled with me across seas and over mountains, and now you get to journey through the world with it. Here's the universe I've been trapped in for days on end, the confusing and painful and beautiful events I've witnessed through these words, and now you get to experience the same things as me. Here is the thing that has consumed my mind and soul before, and now you get to let it consume you too.

Unpopular opinion: Vin/Elend is actually really well written.

Not because of the pining/buildup in the first book, but because of the way the established relationship was written in books two and three. It's rare to see characters together, on screen, in stories. Rarer still to see them having problems that they work through, arguments, doubts, differences, and issues that they overcome because they love each other, even if they're different people. Rarest of all to see love that lets a character sacrifice their loved one for the world as the loved one would want, instead of sacrificing the world for the loved one.

I can be found in the summation of all the Infinity Train protagonists so far. Simon has my oldest, worst flaws, Min-Gi has my fears and worries, Tulip and Lake have my strengths, Jesse and Ryan have the traits people like most in me, and Grace has the traits I'm developing. Oh, and Ryan has my glasses.

Visiting family over the summer be like

Why is this how it always goes

Do you ever start writing something that you’re excited about and that seems like it’s turning out well and that you’re getting eager to share, and then you start typing it up or doing an edit pass and it’s just awful it’s awful its premise is fundamentally flawed and it’s out of character and the prose is clunky and the plot is badly paced and ludicrous and the whole thing is embarrassing, how could you have done this, how could you have sunk so much time into this, you can’t even look at it, how is this that shining thing you were so excited about, how could you even have considered finishing it let alone sharing it with anyone, you’re crying, your mother is crying, nuns are spontaneously exploding in the streets,

So, we can all agree that this is what actually happened?

Concept: Jasnah Kholin with pants

just realized that somehow both my otps embody bi-ace solidarity according to my headcanons

If you ask I will rant about this forever because I have OPINIONS
