I second this. I see no point in staying where I am not needed. If it's always me running after you. It feels like I want you while you simply tolerate me out of politeness.
I cannot be the only one to initiate everything in my relationships anymore I’m going to go insane I need to be needed
Another scene that should be in the next stormlight archive book:
There is a big meeting about what to do. Shallan finally muster up courage to ask Jasnah for help.
Then everyone quiets down when a hooded figure walks in.
Dalinar asks who it is.
He says that he's Thaidakar, Leader of the ghostbloods. Jasnah and Shallan immediately suit up. Attacks him but thaidakar overpowers them. Hoid pours tea. Insults Thaidakar.
Thaidakar reveals that things have changed. Orders Mraize to work with Jasnah to find a way out their new problem. Mraize grudgingly agrees.
Rest of their chapters involves Mraize and Jasnah fighting over shallan's custody, trying to one up each other.
I'm using this whenever someone asks me to tell them about myself.
I love how all of the Batman villains are like “ah he’s not at the manor, it’s defenseless! and then alfred just racks an AK-47 and is like pull up bitch
Me: writes heart felt lines as a way to cope with the pain of heart break that has never gone away even after 7 years. On a blog that no one knows about so my feelings don't get revealed.
Also me: Tiiiitssss
Me: like sexy coz plays cause it's something I want to adapt into my art style
Also me: hasn't drawn anything for 3 months
Me: Want to write and make posts about lesser known book series that I love
Also me: doesn't
I understand this and I understand why people would subscribe to this school of thought but I don't agree.
This, feels disingenuous. Like something we know we should do but we can't because it feels like a lie. Maybe it's just me and I need to grow up. But progress in my life doesn't really mean that I am letting go. They are Always will be my priority.
If I miss someone I will go. I have no honor in face of them. No shame. And it's true that it's important to create value through absence. But I can't create my absence because at the end of the day just want them to be happy and I can't stay away. So no hope either.
I am most proud of myself when I make you
Smile.
For those who need it.
Shout out to ELISTA for being the most relatable character, after shalan.
It's the coolness factor. Stories should be realistic but they also have to be cool. Also mind get used to it once it realizes that it can just heal.
i'm so mad at the way physical traumas are treated in stormlight. Like yes even when you get heal by stormlight being hacked at the spine to the point of paralysis over and over again or having an arrow impaled through your face would absolutely be a traumatic experience, but this got treated like it's just a cool fighting sequence and our heroes are just that badass. Like??? Why is neither the characters nor the narrative talk or even mention it??? The books want to realistically portray mental illness and then completely failed to also realize that being radiant also means you're experiencing even more traumas?? A lot of this just feels like mindless action scene and glorification of violence tbh
