“Does he, you know, have a sweet tooth?”

Questioner: On Roshar, it’s kind of tradition men eat spicy foods, women more sweeter. Could it be possible that a sort of euphemism for gay men or gay women is, “Does he eat sweet food? Does she eat spicy food?”

Brandon Sanderson: I could see people saying that, yes.

According to Natan people, the moon Nomon is a brother. According to Shin people, Nomon is a sister.

What is going on with Roshar’s moon?

In European cultures, the moon is often thought to have a man’s face on it. In East Asian and South American cultures, they often said that there was a rabbit on the moon

This is because their different longitudes on the planet gave them a different view of the moon’s craters

Given that Shinovar is in the West and Natanatan was in the East, it’s likely that Nomons craters look very different from other sides

Windrunner Pas de Deux

AfterSkybreaker on ice I somehow ended up with a Windrunner ballet… I was drawing a ballerina for a job, and when I sketched Syl in my free time, once again I thought how I always imagine her with the poise and built of a classical dancer and one thing led to another and here we are.

The references for the poses come from a Giselle production of the Wiener Staatsballet and from the Knave of Hearts Pas de deux of the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland of the Royal Opera House.

[image description: Syl and Kaladin dancing ballet in four pictures showing them in different poses, it starts with them solemn and melancholic, sparsely lit in front of a dark background that turns lighter and more blue as their moves become playful and joyful. Glowing little joyspren start whirling around them as are windspren as soon they do jumps and just continue their dance floating in the air. In right half of the fourth picture Shallan, Adolin, Liftn, Szeth and a fluffy dog are seen sitting in the audience. From left to right: there is Shallan clinging to Adolin, who has one arm tightly around her shoulder the other over his mouth. Shallan’s face is full of excited bewilderment and Adolin is happy-crying. Next to him sits Lift, legs crossed, watching rather unmoved while munching on some popcorn from a bucket in her lap. To her right from her is Szeth. He has one hand to his mount, a knuckle posed against his lower lip and he wears an expression of critical acknowledgement on his face. Next to him sits a giant fluffy dog. It is the dog Kaladin was hugging in my Skybreaker on ice thing.]

Lowkey I think. I think the fact that rosharan bloodlines mixing means locks of different hair colors is so cool. Like. I get they have this thing abt being “pure” and whatever but like,,, imagine how pretty braids of multiple hair colors would look on one head, maybe with ribbons or gems to accent the color difference instead of hiding it and stuff? It’d be so pretty
