one thing that I absolutely adore about the grishaverse men is that they're all pretty smart and put together until they see the girl they like. Kaz called birds rude. Matthias couldn't focus on the mission if his life depended on it bc Nina looked cute. Nikolai was articulating his feelings for Zoya but in his mind he only saw Kirigan crying into his soup. all too in love to function properly
People like the cunty elf they want to see the cunty elf I said ok more elf we gotta give the people what they want and they said they want elf so we’re giving them elf
All Sanderson books are science with plot. All of them. You thought Rhythm of War was science heavy? Bitch, The Way of Kings was science heavy. And I'm not talking about Shallan's plot, there's actually very little of that.
No, the entirety of the Bridge 4 plot can be charted using the Scientific Method. Observation, Hypothesis, Expirement, Conclusion, Repeat.
Observation: We keep dying by arrows while we carry this big fuck off bridge.
Hypothesis: We use the bridge to block the arrows to save lives.
Experiment: We've practiced carrying the bridge like a shield to catch arrows.
Conclusion: Mass casualties occur amongst the other bridge crews are attention is drawn away. Superiors don't like it. Can't ever do it again.
Observation: Shen doesn't like us touching Parshendi corpses.
i want all Nikolai haters to shut up because Paddy Gibson just did such an amazing job and he really portrayed Nikolai in the perfect way. charming, dedicated, a leader and a friend.
