One of the coolest "cursed swords" in fiction comes from Brandson Sanderson's Warbreaker, where some magic researchers created a sword with the given purpose of "destroy evil" - using the setting's magic of essentially being able to give souls to inanimate objects.

Unfortunately, the sword, named Nightblood, wasn't given a concept of what evil is, so it kills indiscriminately and even saps at the lifeforce of its wielder when unsheathed.

about me!

kind of tagged by @fishfingersandscarves

Nickname: typically I go by Ro (but also equus)

Sign: Aquarius sun and moon and Virgo rising. I know pretty much what the sun and moon is, but the rising? forget about it. People who are into astrology generally guess correctly which sign I am, which may say something about me...

Height: 5'

Last thing I googled: typic dystrudept (I was taking an open-book exam)

Song stuck in my head: unfortunately, "Life Could Be Sweet" by Ayla D'lyla (my penchant for Bad Music is noted)

Number of followers: somewhere around 200 i think

Amount of sleep: solid 7.5 hours.

Dream job: I go to work, do a various semi-repetitive task with variation from day-to-day for six hours, make more than enough money to live, and then go home and do my hobbies

Wearing: A white men's t-shirt

Movies/books that summarize you: Fool's Errand (im not explaining this)

Favorite song: Psalm 151 by Ezra Furman

Aesthetic: there are two wolves inside of me: one wants to be goth and the other wants to be cottagecore and neither are winning

Favorite authors: Laurie J Marks, Robin Hobb, Maggie Steifvater, Brandson Sanderson, Victoria Goddard, Patricia McKilip

Random fun fact: I currently have 19 houseplants, and all of them are yet living!

Anyone have any good adult fantasy book recs? I really enjoyed The Priory of the Orange Tree, I’ve read pretty much everything by V.E. Schwab and loved it all, and my comfort series that I kind of just reread whenever is ACOTAR. I also really like stories with multiple POVS like ASoIaF! Tried Mistborn by Brandson Sanderson and couldn’t really get into it, much to my dismay, but maybe I’ll give that one a second chance?

Some assorted Iri headcanons because Brandson Sanderson needs give me the good content but because he hasn’t yet done so I will make do:

The patterns they paint their skin with actually began as an imitation of natural singer skin patterns, and evolved from there over the years, before the origins were forgotten.

Said patterns are painted in a kind of semi permanent ink. Between Rosharan weather and perspiration from the hot climes, simple paint would not last long on the skin. The patterns are a language of sorts, and can tell a story, distinguish a tradesperson or social class, etc etc.

Their architecture + fashion in particular are reminiscent of Thailand and Ancient Greece.

Because the Iriali have yellow or gold eyes, dark eyes are considered rare and beautiful (though the more imperious, pure-blooded elite will not own to this)

IN GENERAL, compared to the Alethi, Iriali have longer features, and more angular eyes.

Greek accents 👌 (well, the Rosharan equivalent)

Because their metallic gold hair is a mark of pride, like many irl cultures, hair worn long and loose symbolises freedom and strength, while hair worn short or bound denotes subservience and inferiority.

It is fashionable to wear muted or solid colours that emphasise the metallic sheen of the skin. By extension, gold jewelry, favoured by the Rirans, is less popular among the elite of Iri because it competes too much with their hair and skin; silver, oxidised metals, corals, and semi-precious stones are preferred adornment for this reason. (Yes, I fully believe this race of gold people are utter snobs; big shock)

Much like Vorinism, how a person interprets and follows the One differs among the Iriali, and the One is not a unified religion. We have the example of the Iriali queen, who justifies the suffering of the people in war as being necessary for the One to experience. We have Ym who believes that because all beings are connected, all action should be taken to benefit individuals, and therefore the whole. There would probably be sects that believe each person must experience as many different ways of life as possible, to honour and add to the One. Some that justify cruelty and have brought the infliction or receiving of pain to a fine art, because they believe it to be a worthwhile addition to the One, etc.

One sect in particular believes all death to be wasteful and shameful to the One, and in order to avoid it, will find alternatives to execution when punishing a criminal. Removal of eyes, the tongue, limbs... anything that will allow them to live on and continue to experience for the One.

It is not uncommon for people that grieve their dead loved ones or heroes to sometimes do their utmost to imitate the deceased person, in values/mannerisms/day to day life, which is their way of honouring that person, and experiencing something they assume the One misses, now that the person is dead.

Royal advisors to all of the three monarchs of Iri are raised up and groomed to follow archaic Iriali traditions; lorekeepers to preserve tradition, and ensure the Iriali will continue as they always have, in order to eventually complete the Long Trail their ancestors began.

Syl was silent for a moment. "Do you want to be a miracle?"

"No," Kaladin whispered. "But for them, I will be."

I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me, and it only did because I was looking up to verify a ‘who decided what’ thing in terms of Androl. 

So, obviously in fandom we refer to Robert Jordan as ‘RJ’ at times, mostly for a blend of faster typing I suspect, and we the fans would know immediately who is being referred to. 

The thing is then, Brandson Sanderson is ‘BS’. And I can’t stop giggling due to the other common association with that abbreviation. 

Namely?

‘Bullshit’. 

That’s not intended as an insult to him, I just was reading things and had to keep reread them to make sure I didn’t misread something because of ‘BS’ being used. Since well, some people did view certain things Sanderson did as being the other ‘bs’...

BOOKS!

@princesscochlea tagged me to write 10 books that I want to read in 2019. So here we go. (I got tagged in this like forever ago and then forgot about it but im doing it cuz yeah.... Sorry it took so long ginge 😅)

The Custard Protocal Series

I've already read the first two books in this series, but not the others. So those are on my list.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Because I've never actually read this and because I'm intrigued by the story-telling style.

Wonderstruck

Same reason as above. Also, because it was a beloved book for the 3rd/4th grade at my elementary school and I skipped that whole reading group and therefore, lost out on a bunch of really good middle school grade books.

Good Omens

I've never actually read it and the premise sounds like fun. Plus, I love Gaiman's stuff.

American Gods

^^ Same reasoning as before, but also because of the show.

The Hermetia Cycle

A) I am now mutuals with the author and wish to support my friends

B) it sounds cool

(though I'm still working on figuring out how to get a copy because Amazon shipping would make it cost a stupid amount of money).

Any of Brandson Sanderson's books.

I've never read a single one and they have been recommended too many times and now I have to read them to get people to stop recommending them to me.

Discworld

I know theres like... a million books in thr series but I want to actually get my toes wet and start reading them because they sound cool and everyone I know seems to love them so.

Dune

I've never read it and it's pretty iconic so... yeah.

More of V.E. Scwab's stuff (more specifically Our Dark Duet if the person I lent it to ever gives it back)

I love her writing to death (Shades of Magic was fabulous) and I think she's extremely creative. I'm dying to read more.

Okay! That took forever for no particular reason! Tags: @at0z @booksfullofme @fandomsandmusic36 @super-spoiler @sapphicstargirl

#also @person i leant it to u totally dont have to hurry to give it back like seriously take your time reading should be enjoyed and languis- #-hed not forced and speed read to fit a deadline #taggy things
