nikaro, after dedicating his whole life to it, realizing he never even stood a chance at joining the dreamwatch 🤝 spensa, after dedicating her whole life to it, realizing that she never even stood a chance at entering the ddf

i think about spensa and then i remember how much she has been through and then i cry

reminder that we're getting jorgen back tomorrow if anyone cares

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS EIGHT CHAPTERS OF DEFIANT HAVE BEEN RELEASED i don't mean to spoil but.......... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (click 'look inside' on desktop: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/665581/defiant-by-brandon-sanderson/)

SO AN EXCERPT OF DEFIANT HAS BEEN RELEASED AND AND AND LOOK AT THIS LINE ABOUT JORGEN??? "Looking at his strong, determined features, you’d never have known that he’d broken down a few days ago, crying in my arms over the death of his parents." why does brandon sanderson like to KILL ME 😭😭 no cuz he's been bottling up his emotions for 3 novellas straight but once he's with spensa he just can't hold it in anymore. he feels so safe with her omfg he's the cutest bro i can't this book is gonna kill me

me trying to explain to people that Jorgen doesn’t just love spensa, no. he loves SPENSA – her true, authentic, raw self, with all its flaws and beauties, all its quirks and passions. That he doesn’t just love the brave warrior spensa, but also the weird and kooky spensa and the impulsive and reckless spensa and the crazy and stubborn spensa and all-the-things-that-drive-him-mad spensa. That he loves all her traits and mannerisms that, while everyone else has been bullying her for them since her childhood, he's admired since day one. He doesn’t just love spensa, no: he loves all of spensa. Everything spensa.

hi everyone just casually thinking about the fact that jorgen dying in defiant is actually a very real possibility and we truly have no way of confirming it until november 21 and jorgen could literally be dead rn as we speak and and and

i seriously need a scene at the very end of defiant where, after all the chaos and war and bloodshed is over, spensa and jorgen run to each other and simply. hug. just, hold each other, for what seems like hours, in the comfort of each other's arms - finally, for the first time in years, feeling safe. at peace.

idc what anyone says m-bot deserves his own romance like imagine two ai partners wreaking havoc and complaining about humans together and driving everyone mad. SOMEONE GET M-BOT A ROMANTIC PARTNER

jorgen canonically called spensa beautiful think about that for a moment

HELP ME YALL. I just counted, and jorgen smiled/chuckled/grinned/expressedpositiveemotions FIFTEEN TIMES during the cytonic interludes and epilogue. 15 TIMES OVER THE SPAN OF 17 PAGES (not including interlude 4 bc like cmon spensa wasn't even there). BRO SMILED IN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PAGE WITH SPENSA. HE GETS SO HAPPY WHEN HE'S IN SPENSA'S PRESENCE I CANNOTTTTTT AND THEN COMPARE THAT TO THE NOVELLAS WHERE HE PRETTY MUCH NEVER SMILES god i'm so sane and normal over these two

did "but if i only see you, and im a different species than you, then i should be with my species more" feel queercoded to anyone else or is that just me idk
