Cosmere fandom!! 

So apparently Brandon Sanderson wrote a Moraine meets Kelsier fan fiction??

(Mistborn & Wheel of Time Spoilers)

This is incredible

Some highlights:

.

“As I understand it, you’re actually dead.”

“Spoilers,” Kelsier said.

.

“Doesn’t count. You became a disembodied voice that may or may not have actually been speaking into the mind of a young boy who was probably insane.”

“Yes,” Kelsier said, “but my series has a long way to go yet. Who knows what could happen? I’ve heard that some very remarkable things can happen with spikes …”

.

“That won’t count as a victory,” Kelsier said. “Cage match, to the death, blah blah.”

“I’m certain they’ll make an exception.”

“I’ll file an appeal,” Kelsier said.

“You can’t–”

“You’ll find I’m good at doing the impossible,” Kelsier said. “It’s one of my specialties.”

“Too bad staying alive isn’t another of them.”

“Touché.”

“Does that word even make sense in-world?”

“Damned if I know,” Kelsier said.

.

“Please,” Kelsier said. “I already saved the world. It only took me one book, I’ll add.”

“That’s funny, because from what I’ve heard, you left that ‘saved’ world in a fairly awful state. Your friends ended up doing all the work in the next few books; the only thing you did was provide a convenient skeleton.”

.

“Oh please,” Moiraine said. “The guy writes thousand-page books in his sleep every night. It won’t take him long to write this.”

“Be that as it may,” Kelsier replied, “I think you underestimate my ability to make a complete nuisance of myself. I promise you, I can draw this out. Hell, I’ll bet I could turn this conversation of ours into at least a novella. Maybe a six-part epic.”

.

“Do we have a deal? You return to the Last Battle, and I spend my postmortem retirement filling people with lots of holes–preferably of the type that bleed vigorously.”

.

“Wait,” Kelsier said, hopping off the wall and grabbing Moiraine by the arm. “We forgot something.”

“And what, precisely, is that?”

SPOILERS FOR SP3!!!

Finally I could post those! It’s my fav among the four books.

I’m doing the six fanarts challenge on my Instagram and was requested to draw Jasnah!

In the banner for the Secret Books kickstarter by Dragonsteel Entertainment, Hoid has possibly the most punchable face I have ever seen. This bastard stands in an open, nondescript rocky field, a river behind him and a night sky that I would rather be looking at instead of this fucking Bastard Man. He’s dressed in what I can only describe as Cosmere Jesus Chic: a long white robe with very nice embroidered trim with long sleeves and a high collar, covered by a blue tunic and a pretentious black cape closed with a brooch that depicts the cosmere symbol with a blue gem at the center. Design is chillin’ on his shoulder. She’s cool. I’d rather be looking at her. There is some deranged instrument on his back that he probably knows how to play like a god. I want to smash it over his idiot face. He also has an idiot belt harness covered in the tools of his idiot trade, metals, bottles, chaos, god knows what–

As for his pose, again, I can only describe this man as a Jesus cosplayer. He looks like he’s trying to lead you off screen to some idiot camp fire where he’ll tell you a story about a dog that you will fundamentally misunderstand, leading to another 1200 pages worth of stunted character growth. His hands are delicate, which is excellent because it means he wont be good at punching me back when I deck this man so hard he flies through the cognative realm and comes out on the other side.
