idk why but knowing that THE Lopen has his own icon especially with extra arms makes me unexpectedly happy
Oooo I would love to hear about "but with you id dance in a storm in my best dress" please and thank you!
Oooo okay so I'm GENERALLY not a big shakadolin shipper, but a couple other fics inspired me to write the trio as yuri, specifically with Kaladin as transfem and established relationship Shadolin.
The premise is Kaladin thinks no one knows about her gender OR her crush on the princess and her fiancé, but The Lopen was the first one to figure both of those things out and has about as much subtlety as a caffeinated chasmfiend in the Elendel Basin, and basically everyone is trying to get Kaladin to realize how desperately the engaged Shadolin want her as their girlfriend, not their boyfriend.
Aaaand for a snippet:
"“You see, at first I thought you might have been wearing gloves to turn a new look because of your being a lighteyes and everything now. But I got to thinking, I had this cousin who was with this proper Vorin lady, wore a safehand glove all her life. Well one day, she refuses to put on a glove and my cousin drops her like a bridge in a chasm!”
“Okay. Is there a reason you’re telling me this?”
“I’m getting to that! Two years later, turns out his lady was actually a man and now they’re drinking buddies! There are these herbs and surgeries that the buddy's been getting and he’s much happier now! He’s even got himself a super fine lady of his own!” "
he's a ten, but he introduces himself with a 'the' before his name
lopen has the same energy as a cousin uncle, like he’s technically your uncle bc he’s your dad’s youngest cousin but he’s like two years older than you so he’s more like your cousin, and as the youngest one in his family-tree-branch-level he’s been allowed to run around doing whatever he wants so he gets up to all sorts of bullshit

Sketches of Moash/Vyre and The Lopen! Here we have the fire boy and the sunshine boy.
I've already finished Kaladin, Jasnah, Shallan, Syl, Moash, and Lopen. Next up will probably be Adolin, Renarin, and more members of Bridge 4!
*Bonus drawing of Moash Bridge 4 version:
Sooo... my biggest takeaways from this story are:
In Words of Radiance, the Lopen's narration claims that it's just chance that the shattered plains outpost of of "little herdez" is in Sabariel's camp.
But I don't think it is chance. I think the fact that a large majority of the Herdazians chose to live in the war camp of one alethi high prince that is inn common law marriage to a Herdazians dark eyes is a strategic choice.
Sabarial's camp is not a great place if you want to die to avenge an Alethi king, but it's a great place to make money as a merchant or farmer but don't have a store or land, and it's a great place if you want to sell Sabariel's mistress all the comfort of home.
Those rich merchants selling luxuries, will are more likely to employ other Herdazians for any job from trusted clerk to chamber pot scrubber. Those employees want simple food from home, childcare that speaks thier native language, and probably thier own Ardents. As more and more Herdazians come, they settle with kin. And the small community would have grown fast over the corse of five years.
I'm sure there was still discrimination and harassment for Herdazians in sabarial's camp from Alethi. But there were probably also a lot more people in Sabarial's camp willing to pay a Herdazian a fair days wage, or sell or buy Herdazians food and ingredients, or even learn to speek a bit of of the Herdazian language.
If every options sucks, people will chose the option that sucks a little less, and Sabarial's camp sucked less.
