It's Quick, It's Easy, and It's Free! (Stormlight Edition)
It's a meme, kind of!
1. Lopen: It's quick, it's easy, and it's free! Eating crem!
Teft: Why would I do that though? Lopen: It's quick, it's easy, and it's free!
2. Lift: It's quick, it's easy, and it's free! Stealing food!
Wyndle: W-While technically correct in your case, I'm not really sure that's the best... Lift: Quick! Easy! Free!
3. Hoid: It's quick, it's easy, and it's free! Listening to my stories!
Kaladin: ... quick? Hoid: On my timescale, almost anything can be considered quick. Kaladin: What? Hoid: What?
4. Shallan: It's quick, it's easy, and it's free! Looking at a cool flower or a nifty bug!
Adolin: Uh, Shallan, my love...I saw you look at a cremling for thirty minutes yesterday. Shallan: 😅
5. Rlain: It's quick, it's easy, and it's free! Not treating other people like crem!
Renarin: Here, here! Rlain: Although people sure act like it's difficult, sometimes...
6. Szeth: It's quick. It's easy. It costs nothing…material. It’s Murder.
Nightblood: Here, here! Szeth: This is a lament, sword-nimi.
7. Moash: It's quick, it's easy, and it's freeing. Giving up your emotions to Odium.
Odium: Nice variation on a theme! Moash: Thanks. I feel nothing.
8. Lezian: It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s free! Killing Kaladin!
Leshwi: I have…doubts about each of your chosen adjectives. Lezian: Shut UP, Leshwi!
9. Rock: He’s quick, he’s easy(going), and - thanks to Kaladin- he’s free! It’s me!
Skar: you say quick but the stew has been cooking for nine hours Rock: I did not say my STEWS are quick
10. Dalinar: It’s slow, it’s tough, and it costs everything: taking the next step
Adolin: I can’t decide…do you not understand the meme, or do you understand it too well? Dalinar: (mysterious smile)

A scene from the chapter "A Small Bottle" in Oathbringer. (Which has firmly imprinted on my mind.) Renarin is such a precious boy ;_;

Last few weeks I've been thinking a lot about bridges in the Stormlight Archives. What they meant, what their role is and I just wanna ramble analyze again so here we go.
Bridges ARE forces of Unity and conduits of Honor. In the series I argue there is no tighter knit group, no greater camaraderie than Bridge 4. And speaking of, my mind is going to start there and with Kaladin in TWOK.
Kaladin, in his first perspective chapter, internally monologues "Honor is Dead". In the part 1 the place Kaladin and the bridgemen before him go to end their lives is called "The Honor Chasm", and when Kaladin goes right after the end of a highstorm, a fall to ones death into a large body of water invokes a lot of jumping off of bridges imagery to me.
The souls of the bridgemen, like Honor, are shattered. But we see Kaladin reforge them anew in the Chasms. It is there that they really begin to feel unity, to have shared purpose and goals. Honor is their shield, literally so with the bridge and their Side Carry. Together the broken men of Bridge 4 return from despair and helplessness to become something greater.
Their bridge, saving their lives, acting as their shield and bond then becomes the lone piece that connects Kaladin and Dalinar. In his visions the almighty tells Dalinar "Act with Honor and Honor will aid you." AND WOW THAT BRIDGE SURE DOES SAVE HIM.
Not to mention the fact that Dalinar is a living bridge between the realms, consistently "bridges the gap" between peoples and cultures in founding the coalition of Kings in Oathbringer. That bridges themselves so easily can be interpreted as THE Journey BETWEEN Destinations. But if you want one piece of lore that I think shows this as well. The shared sure of Bondsmiths and Windrunners is that of "Adhesion". Dubbed Honors truest surge, the one only of him. The surge that CONNECTS TOGETHER.
I swear I am struggling to properly convey how much this makes my brain tingle but so many elements of both how the Honor and Unity are represented in this book have such strong ties to the way bridges and those who tend to them are showcased. Please tell me I am not the only one seeing this or I will go insane. I feel like I need to make a dozen more posts about this for it to stop rotating in my skull

Pros and Cons of Stormlight Characters in the Middle Seat Next to You on a Budget Airline.
As requested by anon. :)
1. Kaladin
Cons: His legs are so long. His hair is so luxurious. His shoulders are so broad. This large, beautiful man is not trying to be in your space, but the budget airline seat cannot contain him. Pros: You started what you thought was an idle conversation, but by the end of your flight, he had diagnosed your chronic pain and become your therapist??
2. Shallan
Pros: Well, she's more of a regular-sized human and she's friendly but quiet. She seems to just want to sketch the whole flight, so no complaints! Cons: Why does she keep staring directly at a space across the plane and sketching the creepiest symbol-headed creatures you've ever seen with her eyes vaguely glazed over like she doesn't even know she's doing it holy shit is this a Twilight Zone situation where there are invisible gremlin monsters on this plane that only she can see and is it your imagination or do you hear humming from somewhere
3. Adolin
Cons: Listen, this is a budget airline, and this guy seems to think it's a fancy spa?? He's got the slippers, the posh eye mask, the luxurious travel pillow, some really nice face creams, and he seems to be video chatting with a girl even though the internet on the plane doesn't even work. Frankly, you're jealous and grouchy about it. Pros: Okay, he actually seems really sweet and he gave you some of his way-too-nice-for-an-airplane snacks. You take it all back; this guy is awesome.
4. Szeth
Pros: He is so still. So quiet. Almost folded in on himself. Barely...breathing? Honestly, you keep forgetting the middle seat is occupied, and how rare is that! Cons: You just...you think you'd feel better if he just blinked. Just once. Please.
5. Lift
Cons: You had to sigh just a little when a little kid plopped down next to you. Also, she goes to the bathroom every five minutes, and comes back with food every time. You think she might be robbing people. Pros: She complimented your butt quite sincerely. You've always been kinda self-conscious about your butt! But apparently yours is the "second best she's ever seen." Feels nice.
6. Jasnah
Pros: Like, is it possible for someone to just be really good at flying? She came in, expertly stowed her luggage, sat down elegantly, did her seatbelt, used a wipe to clean up the tray table and surrounding area, and immediately starting reading some thick tome. Do you have a crush on her? You might have a crush on her. Cons: She glanced at the book you're reading, and you know she judged you for it.
7. Wit
Cons: Does this guy EVER stop talking? Pros: Okay, actually, you found him kind of annoying at first, but that story he told you about the temple and the duck might have healed years of trauma? Did you just realize that you don't have to forgive your mom and that's okay?
8. Renarin
Pros: He sat down and you were like, "Okay. Cute nerd. I dig it." Cons: You just wish he wouldn't scrawl foreboding-seeming numerals on the back of the airline chair in front of him. Is it counting down to...just before the plane lands? What does it mean???
9. Amarem
Cons: He came in and was IMMEDIATELY like, "I am taller than you and so I should have your seat." And then he just...waited? Like he thought you'd just comply??? Pros: He seems intent on pretending that never happened. Fine by you. That guy seems like an asshole.
10. Zahel
Pros: He falls asleep, like, immediately and doesn't stir for the entire flight. Cons: He's just kinda stinky.
11. Dalinar
Cons: He sits down and, unprompted, says something like, "In my youth I would always battle to occupy every armrest but now, after reading The Way of Planes, I have realized that it is the journey, not the armrests, that matter, so you can have them" and then you're like, "Dude, the person in the middle seat gets the armrests that's just common courtesy" and then he looks at you and you look at him and it's vaguely awkward the whole flight and nobody uses the armrests. Pros: Actually, after a while you do take the armrest and the tension goes down a lot.
12. Taravangian
Pros: He just kinda seems like a nice old man, you know? Kinda confused about stuff, but harmless enough. Cons: He falls asleep partway through and droops his head onto your shoulder and drools a bit and you know you sound ridiculous but it feels somehow calculated. Intentional. Evil.
13. Sebarial
Cons: The very second beverage service starts he's all, "Bring me a BOTTLE of wine" and you're like, "Oh no. It's one of those dudes who gets way too drunk on planes!" Pros: You know? This guy actually seems pretty jolly and chill. You catch yourself thinking, "I wish I could pretend he was my uncle." You're not sure where that came from.
14. Rock
Pros: He scoffs at the provided airline snacks and gets out this thermos and gives you the best damn soup you've ever had in your life. Cons: He's just a large, warm man. Very large. Very warm. Not his fault, of course, but now YOU are very warm.
15. Elhokar
Cons: Every time there is plane turbulence, he mutters something about how it's the assassins coming to finish the job. Poor dude must be really scared of flying. Pros: You feel a warm, parental feeling growing in you as you look at this sad, scared man. Maybe your mom was right. Maybe you WOULD be good with kids.
16. Eshonai
Pros: This lady is, just, SO excited to be traveling that it can't help but make YOU excited to travel. Like, you always thought plane travel sucked, especially budget airline travel, be she is so delighted by everything that you find yourself thinking, "You know, it IS pretty amazing that we're soaring through the sky right now traveling to a new land." Cons: Cons? No cons. You wish you could ALWAYS see flying through this woman's eyes.

This are from the beginning of last year, but are still more beach AU ideas in my mind... ID below the cut:
Image description: The first image shows an evening scene wire a dark sky in the background. Lirin and Dalianar sit to the left at a bar. A warm glow surrounding their figures as they talk. A bit to their right stand Adolin and Kaladin side-eyeing them and uncomfortably sipping at bottles (of beer? probably?). A bit further back is Shallan gesturing towards them and to the ongoing fireworks in the background. Next to her Renarin and Rlain are walking in the direction of the crowds watching the fireworks. Rlains hand is placed on Renarin's back and he is laughing. To the very right of the picture is a smaller figure floating in the air, while a man with think black curly hair is casually holding its leg. A string of colourful string light is decorating the canpoy of the bar and a palm tree in the background. The three consecutive images are crops of the first one, showing Lirin and Dalinar talking, Kaladin and Adolin listening and Renarin and Rlain walking next to each other.

"Reborn"
🚨SPOILERS OF STORMLIGHT 4🚨
Painting this has meant to me something similar to what this moment meant to Kal. I've been in an art block for several weeks now, but this painting has awaken my joy of painting back a little, so I hope you love and appreciate it!
I remember reading this moment with tears in my eyes, almost unable to see the words on the pages. What an incredibly touching moment it was to see Kal swearing his 4th Ideal and saving his father!
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I did painting it!

Haunted by the Rift.
What I imagine Dalinar's horror felt like when his memory of the events resurfaced.

Everytime Dalinar is in a room with Navani in TWoK his inner monologue is like “oh god oh no I’ve been trapped. I’m fearing for my life. how is she going to get me this time??? I’m seeing red!! I will die and nobody will know what happened” and it’s like brother you’re literally in an unlocked room. You could leave
