final hug

„I named you. You are my friend. Isn’t that enough?
I am sorry, for what you must do. Survivor.“

The survivor serving his time at Preservation prison and having a clash of personalities with a particular drifter passing by…

The … less good brother

Elend knows exactly how to romance his lady.

[ID: A fairly realistic illustration of Vin and Elend from Mistborn dancing together against a warm-toned background. Elend has scruffy, wavy brown hair and a beard. He’s dressed in a military-style formal white uniform trimmed in gold with a cape and epaulets. He holds up an open book in one hand and stands straight while Vin holds on to him as if they are dancing at a ball. She looks up at him with a slightly irked expression, and Elend glances down at her with a knowing, too-innocent smile, as if to say “who, me?” Vin has dark, wavy hair, a little past shoulder length, and it is twisted into a half-up style, revealing her earring. Her dress is the color of midnight and sprinkled with specks of light, like jewels are sewn onto it, with thin silver trim at the edge of the neckline and sleeves. Gauzy, petal-like layers overlap to form the skirt, and the bodice is cut to reveal her shoulders. The wide sleeves end at her elbows. End ID]

Vin and Elend ✨

I wonder if one of the books will have the kite-based magic system that Brandon has mentioned

I’d love for it to be in the graphic novel he wrote for his kids!

Me: I cannot justify $320+ for Cosmere swag

Also me: Excitedly putting $160 down for the hardcovers

i know the kandra can be on any planet and can be any character in SA but i CHOOSE TO BELIVE THEY CANT for my peace of mind

Once, my brain got into the “where’s Kandra” mode so bad that for a minute I suspected Hesina of being a kandra.

I stopped doing that. Mostly.

Given the lack of other vertebrates on Roshar, they could choose to assemble bones into any pattern they want and convince people that they’re just a really weird Shin livestock

Planning to reread Mistborn Era 2 in 2022 and it’s wild to know that it all happens post Stormlight 5

So like… are we ever going to know where Hoid got the corpse in Secret History????

He says the body is just a spirit, since he needs it to keep from sinking into the ground/mist of the cognitive realm. But does that mean he took the soul of someone newly dead and then froze them there so he could use it as a boat????

Or was it someone who wasn’t fully dead yet? Like someone in a coma??

I have some many questions

“Oh, hell,” Kelsier said. “There’s actually a God?”

“Yes.”

Kelsier decked him.

Vin smiled, and suddenly Elend felt as if the world had been put back together just a little bit.

Hero of Ages, Chapter 27

There are a lot of ways Vin/Elend could be better, but I do think it’s very special to see an established relationship in fiction. After the whole Zane thing, their issues are never about love triangles or choosing to stay or go, but trying to figure out how to be good spouses to each other.

Reading this for the first time at 13, it was good to see that even though relationships aren’t perfect, that doesn’t have to mean that the devotion between two people has to waver.

Ooof this reread is painful

I know this is supposed to be about Elend but my first thought was “Szeth is here to kill a king”
