“You spend your whole life stuck in a labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present”

I was giving my "sanderson pitch" to a family friend tonight when I really touched on exactly this. The cosmere, on a whole, is a fantasy that's going to develop into a sci-fri, and that's pretty mad.

Reading Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, getting more and more of Hoid's pov, then in the end, with Design and Hoid talking about how to leave. It made me realize that the Cosmere isn't a fantasy series. It's a damn sci-fi!! Design tells Hoid to steal a space ship where they can get to some space station and get to another planet. Hoid is living in a sci-fi novel while everyone else is living in epic fantasy. The Cosmere universe, I swear!!!

What's some foreshadowing in any Sanderson book that makes you genuinely hate him because of how good it is?

I'll start with one from Yumi and the Nightmare Painter:

This is the first time Painter meets Yumi :| it's like page 60

PoV: You just finished reading Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

brandon sanderson wants to say fuck so (lowly) bad

The concept of Cosmere is so funny like

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter has a cute little conversational narrator style like "and this is a much different world than you or I might know!" except the intended book audience is. Rosharians. like, inhabitants of a different fantasy world from a different Brandon Sanderson series

Brandon Sanderson is always like this character has immense guilt for something that's not completely under their control. This character is self isolating to protect others from their own pain. This character was raised under such strict rules or for such a narrow purpose they can hardly view themself as a person. This character punishes themself for wanting "indulgences" like freedom or fun or friendship. This character is still so kind

This is so random, but tumblr is kind of like an "open question", given how many types of people are on here,

So, real question,

Is feet finder ligit? 😅

I am so broke, and have been for a while, the idea of "people" getting off to a pic of my feet is sooo less disturbing that an only fans situation (although sometimes the imagination does run wild 🥵)

If some random lad I've never met got off to a picture of my feet I really don't think that would bother me! Does that make me bad? I'm really just looking to pay rent and have a bit left over to save 🙈

**I have incredibly dextrose toes btw. I can pick things up, tickle people, and take your t-shirt off if you like, all available to you bby 😂

My point is, please let me know if feet finder is worth it lol 😅

I have good toes (and semelly feet/shoes) 🤤

I do genuinely believe that the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (and arguably the Zelda franchise as a whole, though i myself have played literally none of these games) is closer to fitting the description of ‘Tolkien-esque Fantasy’ than most other movies/shows/games/books etc that claim that label

Like, compare this post by tumblr user wufflesvetinari, which makes an important point about Tolkien’s worldbuilding, and also lives in my head rent free:

and then these quotes from Jacob Geller’s “Every Zelda is the Darkest Zelda”

and his conclusions about the messages in Zelda games are thematically very similar to the through-lines about friendship and love in LOTR, and what a lot of authors miss about what makes a fantasy story personal and memorable:

“A world without joy and humor isn’t a compelling world to fight for” is exactly why there are so many pieces of fantasy media out there that just feel like carbon copies of each other (i’ve seen many posts that explain this better than I can though I can’t find any specific ones at the moment, just know that I didn’t invent this thesis). You’ve got the cool swords, you’ve got the wizards and the spells and the battles, but first and foremost you need the LOVE.

One difference between the Lord of the Rings books and the Peter Jackson films that I find really interesting is what the hobbits find when they return to the Shire.

In the books, they return from the War, only to see that the war has not left their home untouched. Not only has it not left their home unscathed, battle and conflict is still actively ravaging the Shire. They return, weary and battle-scarred, to find a home actively wounded and in need of rescue and healing. All four launch themselves into defending their home and rousting those harming it, and eventually succeed. But their idyllic home has been damaged, and even once healed, is never quite again the Shire they set out to save.

In contrast, in the Jackson films, they return to a Shire shockingly untouched by the horrors of war. The hobbits of the Shire talk, in the Green Dragon in Fellowship of the Ring, about not getting involved with issues "beyond our borders," and it seems those issues have not invaded their sanctuary. After having been bowed to by kings, dwarves, elves, and men alike at the coronation in Gondor, their only acknowledgment upon returning home is a skeptical head shake from an older hobbit.

One of the most poignant scenes to me in Return of the King (and there are a considerable amount) is the scene where Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin are sitting in the Green Dragon. The pub patrons bustle around them, talking loudly, clapping excitedly, drinking cheerfully, just as they had in the beginning of the story. But the four hobbits sit silently, watching almost curiously at what was once familiar but is now foreign to them. Their home has not changed. But they have.

Which is the deeper hurt? To come to your home to find it irrevocably changed, despite all you did to keep it untouched and the same? Or to return home but no longer feeling at home, because it is only you that is irrevocably changed?

Reading the duel of Adolin, never happened to me before while reading any book. by KillerToasty24

Honestly the final battle in oathbringer is just movie bait. The entire battle field is covered in glowing gems. You cannot have my pain and then the perpendicularity visuals. Kaladin/Shallan/Adolin stepping out of shadesmar like it's avengers endgame. Glowing red evil amaram and Rock's big damn hero moment saving kaladin. Shallan holding hands with her alters. Renarin fighting the thunderclast. Jasnah. I could go on.
