brandon sanderson homophobia sexism my rambles like first of all. most importantly. Ender's Game is probably the only reason I survived seventh grade I love that book. find something new to love in it every time I read it it is my soul. my guidebook. my worst fears. my greatest desires. everything but OSC on the other hand . . . I have complaints and I hate that everyone blames all his problematic traits (sexism and homophobia namely) on his religion because look. look at Branderson. same religion but none of the same issues like Brandon Sanderson doesn't have a single character who plays into gender stereotypes. female OR male and yes his queer rep is so far not great (although he gave us ace jasnah so he's already won in my mind) but renarin is canonically gay and that will be explored. he has gaydar and it has picked up on shallan's and adolin's bisexuality he is so careful and caring in how he writes his queer character he's trying so hard I beg you to read all the WoBs on this subject because they make me cry also brando sando is just a better writer maybe not necessarily his prose (although maybe. osc ain't exactly a poet either) but certainly his characters and pacing like . . . his philosophical ethical monologues are well-placed and justified thematically. unlike card's also his monologues aren't kind of unsettling and yikes also? minor point but sanderson romances are so much better imo card seems to consider the peak of romance to be ''I can stand being around you and am physically attracted to you'' whereas branderson puts actual respect and communication and affection and LOVE into his love stories no his romance isn't perfect but I'm never going to marry someone I ''love'' in a card way. In a sanderson way however? yes I think I will but back to their female characters the only osc character I've ever seen myself in was technically written by johnston not card whereas I see myself in like every brando sando female character osc's women are just . . . eh and his traditional views on marriage and family (yay) kind of leak into all the women he writes. and literally everything else he writes. anyway I could write a dissertation about this but I gotta sleep so that's all for now orson scott card

Septimus Heap has the ultimate found family. You start with the core seven-son family, which is already guaranteed to have at least nine members. Not to mention they have a crazy aunt and at least six uncles, as well as a tree or two.

Throw in an adopted daughter, 1.5 ducks and 0.5 of a cat, the youngest son's adoptive mother/mentor/BFF and semi-adoptive father/kidnapper, the adopted daughter's biological dad, the youngest son's best friend who will someday be the adopted daughter's boyfriend, a ghost uncle, the youngest son's first best friend/adoptive brother from his childhood in the army who is probably also the second oldest son's boyfriend, the youngest son's dragon, and the oldest son's wife.

Oh, and don't forget the ghost uncle's ghost girlfriend, the mother, father, and brother of the oldest son's wife, the second youngest son's girlfriend and her transforming panther, maybe a couple witches (or maybe not), the adopted daughter's ghost mom and ghost grandmother, the oldest son's pet tennis ball, the adopted daughter's pet rock(s), and a centuries-old magical grandpa who you can only see by exiting time.

And we haven't even gotten to the sequel series yet!

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

I Meant To Draw This Back In November When I First Read The Asexual Jasnah Chapter, But Uh . . . Better

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.)
