The second image shows various angles of Moash's miniature--the front, back, and headshots. Moash's miniature looks like he's taking a step forward, holding his Honorblade as if he's about to attack someone.]

[Image description: A picture of Vin, a character from the Mistborn novels, mid-jump. She crouches in the air, looking up warily. Her mistcloack swirls around her as she hangs in the air. In her hands are two obsidian daggers. The background is dark, with mist slightly obscuring the picture.]

[image description: two colored, digital drawings of Wax and Steris.  The first one show them standing very stiff and proper, both their right arms are at a ninety degree angle in front of their bodies.Wax is a tall man with black hair at almost-touching-shoulder length, but combed back and long sideburns framing his equally long face. His expression is stern and discerning and he wears his dark tasseled mistcoat over a dark purple vest with a matching cravat, dark dress pants and his gun belt around his hips. On the inside of his right upper arm Steris white gloved fingers are visible. She has a soft, oval face with delicately arching eyebrows and a full mouth. Her hair is an elegant updo with half of it curled on her head and half of it falling down her back. She wears a white dress with a pigeon-breasted silhouette and a wide but still respectable neck-line, with dark details on the short puffy sleeves and the torso. In her hand she holds a dark handbag made from a soft material. Her gaze is hard to read. Somewhere between aloof, neutral and resolute. They stand in front of a backdrop of a cold, light grey. The second drawing has a warmer, light brown as the background colour and shows them smiling each other. Cautiously so – Steris with a questioning look in her eyes and Wax with a lifted eyebrow and a teasing expression.]

first time making an image description apologies if it’s not great

Wow guys, i love words of radiance. Isnt fantasy escapism so cool?

In the last image, Kaladin is shocked. He says nothing, and Dalinar turns and walks away.]

Born unto Light

happy Kal>>>

but at the same time, where are the darkeyed men who learned to read? the women who learn tactics? sure the ardents don't really follow the rules, but they're sorta degendered in a very bizarre way. where are the gender nonconforming people who are just normal people leading their lives. i don't know if it was meant to be a demonstration of the role of class in performance of gender (idk if i really have faith that he's thought about it enough to make a real statement) but it's very telling that our only examples of women learning masculine arts and vice versa are radiants, and ones who were high-ranking nobles beforehand. anyway all this to say let kaladin learn some feminine arts i think he could get funky with gender.

yeah that one was pretty messed up tbh

@amemoryofwot It so does!!!

what she means: moash represents a deep running anger marginalized and oppressed people have against the system that abuses them. while he has admittedly made many mistakes and done bad things, to have him die a villain would send a bad message about what the “right” way to react to institutional violence is. in a series with core themes of growing from mistakes and becoming a better version of yourself, to condemn him outright would not only be a bad message, it would just be lazy bad writing. many other characters have done objectively worse things and been redeemed by the narrative. the amount that this fanbase is so opposed to a moash redemption arc is frankly so ridiculous and baffling. “fuck moash” is a joke that people have taken way too far, and it’s so hard to discern which of you mean it jokingly and which mean it sincerely. i hope people can understand the difference between disliking a character personally and thinking objectively that they are irredeemably evil.

I don’t really care if Moash is killed or redeemed (because I trust that whatever Brandon does with him will be the right thing) but if you project too much onto him just because he suffered you may find yourself disappointed that he didn’t fulfill a potential that was never there

except it actually is about those things bc he’s not a real person who can choose to be decent, he’s a fictional character written by a white man. so like in a series w major themes about being becoming a better person after you make mistakes etc, it would just like be really shitty for brandon to make the one character whos completely irredeemable the oppressed man who fell to villainy bc of the systemic abuse he and his loved ones suffered. like bc like the characters don’t choose brandon does and he would be choosing something w that message. and in terms of like “he chose to be evil” yea and then he’s gonna redeem by choosing to be good, ur point??? gonna ignore how you snidely implied that i’m projecting just bc i think y’all shoudl sometimes think about how systemic racism exists lmao and like you can’t just choose to ignore it when it’s inconvenient for you :( anyways i don’t have time for this rn i have bigger problems tonight if you haven’t heard
