I Realized Halfway Through Writing This That Parts Of It Are Incredibly Cheesy. Then I Realized That

I realized halfway through writing this that parts of it are incredibly cheesy. Then I realized that pretty much everything I've posted is cheesy. Then I decided that I'm okay with that, because I need some cheesiness in my life. So here, have some cheesy fluff (and also some angst)!

I meant to draw this back in November when I first read the asexual Jasnah chapter, but uh . . . better late than never, right?

I Meant To Draw This Back In November When I First Read The Asexual Jasnah Chapter, But Uh . . . Better

Reading the chapter that revealed Jasnah was ace was one of the happiest moments of my life. No joke, I went to bed that night grinning so hard it hurt the next morning. If there was any doubt about it before, Brandon Sanderson is definitely my favorite author now. Ace Jasnah is awesome.

I understand people being a little disappointed she's not homoromantic or 100% lesbian, but just remember that's she's not heteroromantic either--since the only romances she's ever been in (in any iteration of the Stormlight archive) have been with Taln (WoKP) and Hoid (RoW), she's clearly actually infiniromantic--romantically attracted to people who are at least a few millennia old and way too knowledgeable for anyone's good.

(Also, yes, I will be using ace Jasnah as an excuse to draw her exclusively using purple palettes. I mean, I would've anyway because something about her is just purple, but now I have an excuse.)

Sharing books is so intimate. It's like . . . here is a book with hundreds of pages, I've touched each one of them and now you will too. Here's something I've cradled against my heart to keep it dry in the rain, and now you get to hold it too. Here's the thing that's lain on the table beside me as I sleep, and now it'll lay next to you. Here's the thing that's traveled with me across seas and over mountains, and now you get to journey through the world with it. Here's the universe I've been trapped in for days on end, the confusing and painful and beautiful events I've witnessed through these words, and now you get to experience the same things as me. Here is the thing that has consumed my mind and soul before, and now you get to let it consume you too.

Unpopular opinion: Vin/Elend is actually really well written.

Not because of the pining/buildup in the first book, but because of the way the established relationship was written in books two and three. It's rare to see characters together, on screen, in stories. Rarer still to see them having problems that they work through, arguments, doubts, differences, and issues that they overcome because they love each other, even if they're different people. Rarest of all to see love that lets a character sacrifice their loved one for the world as the loved one would want, instead of sacrificing the world for the loved one.

I can be found in the summation of all the Infinity Train protagonists so far. Simon has my oldest, worst flaws, Min-Gi has my fears and worries, Tulip and Lake have my strengths, Jesse and Ryan have the traits people like most in me, and Grace has the traits I'm developing. Oh, and Ryan has my glasses.

Why is this how it always goes

Do you ever start writing something that you’re excited about and that seems like it’s turning out well and that you’re getting eager to share, and then you start typing it up or doing an edit pass and it’s just awful it’s awful its premise is fundamentally flawed and it’s out of character and the prose is clunky and the plot is badly paced and ludicrous and the whole thing is embarrassing, how could you have done this, how could you have sunk so much time into this, you can’t even look at it, how is this that shining thing you were so excited about, how could you even have considered finishing it let alone sharing it with anyone, you’re crying, your mother is crying, nuns are spontaneously exploding in the streets,

brandon sanderson homophobia sexism my rambles like first of all. most importantly. Ender's Game is probably the only reason I survived seventh grade I love that book. find something new to love in it every time I read it it is my soul. my guidebook. my worst fears. my greatest desires. everything but OSC on the other hand . . . I have complaints and I hate that everyone blames all his problematic traits (sexism and homophobia namely) on his religion because look. look at Branderson. same religion but none of the same issues like Brandon Sanderson doesn't have a single character who plays into gender stereotypes. female OR male and yes his queer rep is so far not great (although he gave us ace jasnah so he's already won in my mind) but renarin is canonically gay and that will be explored. he has gaydar and it has picked up on shallan's and adolin's bisexuality he is so careful and caring in how he writes his queer character he's trying so hard I beg you to read all the WoBs on this subject because they make me cry also brando sando is just a better writer maybe not necessarily his prose (although maybe. osc ain't exactly a poet either) but certainly his characters and pacing like . . . his philosophical ethical monologues are well-placed and justified thematically. unlike card's also his monologues aren't kind of unsettling and yikes also? minor point but sanderson romances are so much better imo card seems to consider the peak of romance to be ''I can stand being around you and am physically attracted to you'' whereas branderson puts actual respect and communication and affection and LOVE into his love stories no his romance isn't perfect but I'm never going to marry someone I ''love'' in a card way. In a sanderson way however? yes I think I will but back to their female characters the only osc character I've ever seen myself in was technically written by johnston not card whereas I see myself in like every brando sando female character osc's women are just . . . eh and his traditional views on marriage and family (yay) kind of leak into all the women he writes. and literally everything else he writes. anyway I could write a dissertation about this but I gotta sleep so that's all for now orson scott card
