The only thing that's left to do is live

"Storms no!" said Cultivation and Honor as they stormed off to Roshar where the magic is based on storms.

"Rusts no!" said Ruin and Preservation as they rusted off to Scadrial where the magic is based on rusts.

I have not posted this one here? How have I not posted this one here, yet? I posted it during inktober last year on instagram but shamefully not here, it seems. Ah, well... it fits pride month. Hooray to all you bisexuals (and aces, because we know how Kal is...) out there! Sandra has something for you, too!

Young, handsome people on a daring mission. Will they find their way through a besieged city and a dark strange world (and into each other‘s heart)?

We lovingly refer to October 10th as „Shakadolin Day,“ as it’s the six-year anniversary of Brandon tweeting „I could see a world where Shallan and Adolin would go for it, but Kaladin is as prudish as I am, so I doubt you’d persuade him. 🙂 For now, we’ll have to leave that to the imaginations of the fanfic writers.“ 

Prompting many to ask „Wait, is this confirmation that Adolin is Bi?,“ „So Kaladin’s obstacle is his prudishness, not his orientation?,“ and „What do you mean ‚for now‘???“

And in Sandra’s series being prudish is just a challenge not an obstacle 😉

Cheers to all of you! And extra cheers as always to the amazing @priscellie who created the beautiful cover mock up with my illustration 🩷🩷🩷 ID by the wonderful @cosmereplay with additions by me

As requested by @karlathewitch :)

Listen, I'm not a fan of AI. That will influence how I write this list.

1. Taravangian: Yes

Taravangian: AI is a wonderous tool. Taravangian: Incredibly easy to poison. Taravangian: I've made it so that if you google "Jasnah," the AI gives you a summary of all of her worst and most personal moments. Taravangian: You know, just to be an asshole.

2. Steris: No

Steris: I'm better at writing emails than it is.

3. Wayne: No

Wayne: Why chat with a character chatbot when you can talk to me?? Wayne: Homegrown roleplay is way better! MeLaan: Can confirm.

4. Ruin: Yes

Ruin: Talking to people through chatbots is actually super easy. Ruin: Even Preservation is on board with this. Preservation: It's like preserving people's personalities in a machine forever! Ruin: We're so good for this planet.

5. Jasnah: No

Jasnah: I do not refer to it as "AI" or "Artificial Intelligence." Jasnah: I refer to it as "LLM" or "Language Learning Model." Jasnah: Since that is all it is--a text prediction tool. Jasnah: And so horribly bad at predicting, at that.

6. Adolin: Yes

Adolin: Look, sometimes it's tough to know what to say. Adolin: And AI will write those mesasges for you! May: Do you think this may be part of why you have trouble keeping a girlfriend? Adolin: .... Adolin: Whoops.

7. Yumi: No

Yumi: Why would I like the thing that poisoned my whole planet with literal darkness full of nightmares?! Yumi: AND it wasn't even that good at stacking rocks!

8. Pattern: No

Pattern: Mmmm....you might think I would like it, because of all of the lies! Pattern: But...humans are much better at lies than machines are! Pattern: They actually intend them.

9. Sarene: Yes

Sarene: I told Iadon that AI could make him a good contract. Sarene: Tee, hee, I'm so silly sometimes.

10. Shallan: No

Shallan: I'm an artist. AI is always stealing my work! Shallan: In the very beginning, when it was bad, it was kind of interesting sometimes... Shallan: People with four fingers and all of that. Shallan: Now it's both thievery and kind of boring.

11. Kelsier: Yes

Kelsier: I created a Kelsier chatbot for Spook. Kelsier: ... Kelsier: It may or may not be driving him into madness.

12. Susebron: Used to

When people make incisive or witty or extreme comments, another person will often reply, "Wow. Tumblr's hate mail game is insane!" If Tumblr existed in the Cosmere and had the same sort of culture, here is the "hate mail" that I think anons would be sending.

I've done quite a few of these "Cosmere characters on tumblr posts"...

Cosmere Characters Make Tumblr Polls

Cosmere Validation Posts

Cosmere characters on tumblr

1.

Anon: I'm surprised you don't have a spren yet. You have such an interesting bouquet of mental illnesses.

HELLO???

2.

Anon: Listen, I'm going to block you after this, but I wanted to just let you know that I am NOT blocking you because of your post about how if the Stormfather had a dick it would be electrified. That electrified dick post was pretty based. No, I'm unfollowing you because of everything else about you.

Anon come back I can change for you

3.

Anon: "I think 80% of the vocally pro-Hemalurgy people are just teens trying to be edgy" ~You, someone with a Survivorist icon

kifeiaopjajkjoifjieoajior

4.

Anon: I can't believe you're from Sel!! I'd been assuming this whole time that you were a Drab from Nalthis, you know, because of your general lackluster taste in art and music.

Help? I'm being skewered?

5.

Anon: I think you'd be a good worldhopper. I think if you were a worldhopper you'd say it was because of the thrill of adventure but it would actually be because you're never satisfied with what you have and are always convinced that the next change will be the one that fixes you forever. IDK. You just have that vibe.

omg you can't just appear and say this to me i'm crying

6.

Anon: I know a guy who makes Soul Stamps. Super reasonable price. Doesn't ask a lot of questions--well, I mean, he DOES ask a lot of questions because you have to in order to make a Soul Stamp but he doesn't ask a lot of questions about why you want it. He just sort of accepts that sometimes a person wants to be a different person. anyway do you want me to dm you their number?

HELP the WINDUP??

7.

Anon: Claims to be second heightening. Favorite artist is Taylor Swift. It's not okay to lie about what heightening you are.

Her music is good?????

8.

Anon: so were you like cursed by cultivation or is this just who you are as a person

anon you can't say that to someone

9.

Anon: I think you'd be a good candidate for the Shard of Whimsy.

ARE YOU CALLING ME A CLOWN

10

Anon: You're like if Elantrian Slime became sentient.

Chat, I won't be recovering from this any time soon.

11.

Anon: "Oh no, it's hipster season." --You, who once used a pumpkin spice latte to swallow your metals.

THAT WAS ONE TIME ANON PLEASE

12.

Anon: I just wanted to say that if you were a stick, I think you'd become fire.
