21 - Rusty
All I could think of was Wax running up staircase t the end of Bands of Mourning and noticing that he might be getting too old for this.
Also I just enjoy drawing him. and as an appendix to this: @curlytale and I were musing how Wax didn’t throw his back out in TLM, I suggested that surely Steris would have penned out a proper training schedule and then @priscellie threw in the idea of them doing scadrian yoga each morning. :D how could I not sketch this!?
cosmere inktober 19: prayer
building off of my earlier post about kell's scars, heres a rough sketch of how i imagine them (+ some notes!). couldn't quite get them to pop out as much as i'd like to (if it were fully rendered, i'd have added some more depth to them to show their layered effect) but overall i'm satisfied with it. aphantasia is a real bitch when it comes to having to imagine and draw things like this though :^P what're y'all's thoughts?
Mistborn Alloy of Law spoilers past the read more!
I saw people doing this on twitter and i also wanted to do it :)
The flashiest of Allomancy, or the gold standard of healing: Which power would you rather have?
--When burning Allomantic Steel, invisible blue lines emerge from the Coinshot and connect themselves to pieces of nearby metal. The Coinshot can then use Steelpushing to push metals away (in a straight line) from their "center of self". Steelpushing allows the user to fly through the air, using only coins or other small metal objects placed on the ground. It can also be used offensively to shoot metal objects as projectiles.
--Feruchemical Gold is used to store health. By tapping a goldmind, a Bloodmaker can heal at an accelerated rate or heal from wounds that would normally be fatal. While storing health, a Bloodmaker will be sickly and weak.
I was making myself sad thinking about how one day Wayne's "gifts" for Wax will stop appearing but then I thought. No. What if the list is ridiculously long (I mean I'm sure it is but what if it's reaaaaally ridiculously long) and in era 3 we meet Wax's grandkid or something and they find dead fish in their boots and just go "ugh the family curse. great uncle Wayne's curse"
or the list starts again from the beginning. but after 4, it skips one. and then the next five are in order. but then there are two the same.
just chaotic that it's almost possible to predict, but not quite
“List” is a misnomer. The law firm is required to choose an item at random from a list of options. Wax keeps getting the same one for so long that he pays mathematicians to study true randomness. Era 3 computer programmers use Ladrian Algorithms to generate near-random numbers.
Anyone else realizing Wayne was brought into Wax’s life after killing someone with a gun and left it after saving someone (Wax) with a gun??

diversity win! the ancient god trying to overtake your planet uses any pronouns!
ok i can't stop thinking about "deal with your own stupid planet don't make me come over there and slap you around again" in new context cause like i know that rhythm is chronologically before all of era 2 but afsgsbsjdm hoid and kelsier on the same planet. working to save that planet. and completely ignoring each other is a really funny outcome. you're in a car apocalypse situation with a beautiful boy hoid and you guys don't even get into a first fight about it
I was absolutely convinced Sazed would be Discord by the end of The Lost Metal and I'm a little thrown that he wasn't. My next theory is that its just set that up for era 3.
It seemed so obvious! His indecisiveness was causing problems, and if he'd been able to shake off some of the constraints then he could have beaten Autonomy himself, surely. He holds two Shards.
He couldn't act because he was Harmony. Not to help people and not to fight Autonomy and it was frustrating everyone. Even worrying Sazed himself.
I think he'll be Discord soon. And it'll happen in a positive way. I think the Shards of Ruin and Preservation clashing against each other might actually help Scadrial, because Sazed will be more active against outside threats which are clearly a big issue. (It might even also hold his independence as a person a little because maybe if the Shards are less balanced they'll overwhelm him less. I really think that might be important. The power of the Shard seems to always overwhelm the bearer and I haven't seen good results yet. This is a reach but I like Sazed! I can hope.)
My concrete evidence for this is that quote from the Hero of Ages prophecy. I dug it up again, to make sure I was remembering right: " His name shall be Discord, yet they shall love him for it."
Discord will happen, I'm sure of it. But it'll be a good thing.
ghostbloods branch on roshar: we work in the shadows our organization is highly selective. our ranks are in a strict hierarchy. who’s our master? wouldn’t you like to know. we hurt children if it furthers our goal. if you deny our invitation we Will hunt you for sport. don’t fucking touch us
ghostbloods on scadrial: kell (oh yeah lord kelsier the survivor etc is our boss) STILL hasn’t chosen a good rug for the foyer. we’re supposed to use codenames but really who cares half the time. oh yeah do you want some tea? like genuinely this isn’t a trick. twinsoul likes making tea for guests. it’s cool if you don’t wanna join us in the end, we gave you our information willingly so that’s on us. don’t worry kell won’t do anything bad even if he’s disappointed, he’s not like, needlessly cruel and hurting innocents isn’t his jam.
We need an elantrian to show up in the lost metal but the thing is that their magic system is so bad outside of the city limits of elantris that they’d just be there and not doing anything because they can’t
so, uh. about this?
