Me lately: "I need to take a break from the Cosmere. I've been neck-deep in it for four years now, and if I don't get some distance I *will* go insane." Me this morning: "......it might be time to reread The Way of Kings for the sixth time."
I read and I make memes. Sometimes I'm smart.

I think dogs are the closest to spren we can have. Once we train them to talk, we'll be unstoppable. Also, A+ name right there. ❤️
At this point, I may be convinced that I've been thrown face-first into the Spiritual Realm and am living in a non-stop vision created to destroy my mind. Like... every time I check the news, none of this seems remotely real. Someone fetch me a spren... or a snarky bard.
Eeeeexcellent ❤️
Ever accidentally say a fantasy curse word out loud in a professional setting? Like... I said "Holy crem" in the presence of my director and VP, and I didn't realize it until I noticed their confused expressions.
I definitely did.
Aaaaagreeeeed. This book was...... A LOT.
I certainly understand. I got ZERO reading done during Christmas vacation because I had my kids constantly demanding attention. It wasn't until they were back into their normal routine that I was able to make progress.
I finished Wind and Truth. If you need me, I'll be staring blankly at the ceiling and waiting for my brain to reboot. That book was the wildest twelve novels I've ever read.
Official request to have "Just entered the last 100 pages of a Sanderson novel" included as a medically approved absence from work. Let's get that crem covered by FMLA, y'all.
I didn't have "Debating the merits of Who physiology and lore in relation to Dr. Seuss' characterization of Cindy Lou Who with a bunch of strangers on the internet" on my 2024 Bingo card and yet here we are 😶🥲
Oh I'm right there with you. I love Shallan. I think she's a very complex, nuanced character who gets way more criticism because people hate teenaged girls far more than any other type of character in literature. The misogyny is rough.
I have some theories about why people hate her. Some are valid (she does some genuinely classist/racist things in early content)... some of them are not...
I NEEEEED IIIIIIIIT.
His role in Wicked was 1000% Adolin-coded.
Yesssssssss YESSSSSSS
OK, I'm not a casting director by any means... but I need Jonathan Bailey to be SOMEWHERE in the Cosmere. Anywhere. Just. Put him in the Cosmere. I'm a ride-or-die anime adaptation proponent, but I would put my ass in a movie theater seat for a live action adaptation if it has Jonathan Bailey in it.
(Marsh has two points 😌)
Sometimes I look at literally everything around us and think, "...........Kelsier has a point."
This is not related to literally anything I do on here. But I just watched Wicked. And good heavens, what a movie. I need to watch it again eight more times.
Yeah, I took a BIG step back from Reddit because of just how misogynistic that space has been when I tiptoed into it. *shudders*
I take that personally. #stormlightarchive #kaladinstormblessed
LISTEN. We just having a silly, goofy time out here in the interspace. Not all of us memorize things Sando says. We can chill. We can be cool. We can be wrong and laugh. ...right? #cosmere #fantasybooks (For the uninitiated, WoBs are "Words of Brandon"—things Sanderson has said about the books.)
During a team meeting, my coworkers asked me how my trip to Utah went. Over the course of the next fifteen minutes, without intending to, I told them all about the #cosmere and the massive event that was #dsnx24. Eight professionals in the finance industry now know that I'm a Major Nerd™️. Huzzah.
*sobs*
Them: "I read fantasy to escape the real world." Fantasy: *depicts violent uprisings against corrupt governments, apocalyptic events, and oppressed minorities fighting against those who have wronged them* Me: "My guy... I don't know how to tell you this..."
I'm so glad!! ❤️ It's one of my absolute favorites.
I forgot how to breathe the moment I cracked this book open ngl. #stormlightarchive #cosmere
I'm so glad I got to meet you! Honor, life, and jade ❤️
We don't hit the ground running. We hit the ground sliding face-first, Edgedancer style.
Yeah I'm low-key terrified of looking at my bank account 😭
Lolol I THINK they'll sell them on the Dragonsteel online shop in the near future. They usually put any overflow inventory from the conventions online until they sell out.
These little assholes are creating quite the hubbub at SLC airport. If you bring your chull plushie through the TSA line, be prepared for a delay. The beads at the bottom show up as a suspicious material on the scanner, and agents have to physically inspect them. #dsnx24
I'm here for the punchy punchy stabby stabby.
If you're here at Dragonsteel Nexus, come see me at the Lightweaving and Willshaping panel! We'll be talking about the good, bad, and in between of operating social media platforms in the Cosmere fandom. I'll hang back after the panel to answer questions, take pictures, and gush about the Cosmere! ❤️
Spotify Wrapped gettin' real specific over here.
I LOVED that moment. 😍
Incredible time here at Dragonsteel Nexus! ❤️ Can't wait for the Wind and Truth release party! #DSNX24 #brandonsanderson #stormlightarchive #cosmere
Lemme see if I can open a perpendicularity for you 😌❤️
My Texan ass rolling up to Salt Lake City tomorrow for Dragonsteel Nexus like:
We're not about that energy right now mmkay? Mmkay. #stormlightarchive ##cosmere #windandtruth
Scroll of Truth needs to be quiet for a while.
Spoilers for Well of Ascension When Vin steel-pushed herself atop the wall and wielded a giant sword to lay waste to hoards of Kolass armies, you better believe I imagined her as Mikasa from Attack on Titan.
Getting my therapist ready.
I swore to myself I'd refrain from talking about the Cosmere this Thanksgiving. My family could use a break from it, and I don't want to annoy them. That lasted until someone asked me if I'm looking forward to going to Utah next week. This is on them.
In one week, the Cosmere RPG team will be headed to Dragonsteel Nexus! And on Friday night at 9 pm, these core team members will take the stage to reveal the latest secrets about our Stormlight and Mistborn campaign settings coming in 2025 and 2026. If you're at the con, don't miss this panel!
😆 i love that
We are not the same. #cosmere #warbreaker #booksofbluesky
If you're going to Dragonsteel Nexus this year, I hope to see you there! I'll be on the Lightweaving and Willshaping discussion panel on Saturday from 3:30 to 4:15 PM.
Join us at Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 during the State of the Cosmere RPG Panel on Friday, December 6th at 9:00 PM! Get a behind-the-scenes look at the progress of the RPG, and get the chance to ask the RPG team questions! Tickets are free at: tabletop.events/conventions/... #DSNX24
Aragorn: "You have my sword." Legolas: "And my bow." Gimli: "And my axe." Kaladin: "And my glare." Gandolf: "What good does that—" Kaladin: *glares broodlingly* Gandolf: "...nmvd we're borrowing him."
Brandon Sanderson has been pretty vocal about being a huge fan of Final Fantasy X. So if I had the chance, I would absolutely ask him if Zahel was based on Auron. #stormlightarchive #books #finalfantasyx #Cosmere
I saw a post one time that said all the gifts from The 12 Days of Christmas were all actually a type of bird. And all I could think was...... holy crem that's a lot of chickens. #bookstagram #Cosmere #stormlightarchive #thewayofkings
Absolutely same. Oathbringer has some amazing moments between them, too, that are great testaments to the strength of their bond ❤️ Theirs is one of my favorite friendships in literature.
Combine the book release with holiday shopping, traveling, the Seasonal Big Sad, and personal grief, and I'll be surprised if I manage to shower in December. *jingle jingle*
My favorite Grumpy/Sunshine pair 🥰
OK, listen. I'm not saying I make all my life decisions based on a single book series. But I MAY have been persuaded to download this storming app because its logo reminds me of Syl. And MAYBE the idea of having a little windspren in my pocket everywhere I go appealed to me more than it should have.
Influencers adding yet another app like:
#kaladin was the adult babysitting the entire crew, let's be honest. #stormlightarchive #cosmere #books #fantasy
Top-tier name, Goncho. ❤️
It was a close call.
I came here because it's only fitting. After all, the sky and the winds belong to Kaladin "Avoiding My Problems with the Gift of Flight" Stormblessed. #stormlightarchive #cosmere #books #fantasybooks
