Halloo again, Humans! I have yet another poem for you - this one from Dalinar's perspective.
(Be warned that there are mild spoilers for Oathbringer, so it has been spoilered :D)

Enjoy!

I do have a MASSIVE backlog of arts and sketchies to upload - expect an avalanche in a week or so.

Good Evening, Good Morning and Good Night!

Welp, I wrote a poem from Kaladin's perspective, so now I gotta write one from Shallan's perspective! Here y'all go!!

Fury and Fear

Fists clenched, anger barely curbed,
Bottled up and ready to burst.
Breathe. Breathe. Calm is needed.
Breathe deep of the sweet air.

Angry footsteps in the hall,
Back pressed against the cold stone wall,
Fear crawling up the spine,
Breathe deep of the cool air.

Anxiety, hot hatred,
Fearful screams building in the chest.
Tense, awaiting the shouts.
Breathe deep of the calm air.

Doors slam, blood pours across boards,
Hide trembling hands in long silk sleeves.
Fearful, anxious, afraid…
Breathe deep and forget all.

------

Hope y'all liked it! Also a bit dark... but uhm, that's Shallan's past. Anyways, have a wonderful day, Humans! Catch y'all in the next one!

People have been posting poetry lately, so I decided to write a poem from Kaladin's perspective!

It's a little dark, and slightly gory, but if you've read Brandon Sanderson, you're used to it!

Ta da!

Broken

Broken.
Bridgemen shot down,
Screaming as they fall, mere bait.

Broken.
Eyes burning,
Death, Shardblade sweeping though ranks.

Broken.
Tien dying,
Speared though, his eyes dead, lifeless.

Broken.
A young girl,
Her lifeblood bled out, red pools.

Broken.
A young man,
Jerking and soon falling still.

Broken.
Screaming nearby.
The horrors overwhelming...

Healing.
A small light,
Holding back the storms, the fear.

Hope.
Oaths spoken,
Slowly, pushing back darkness.

Thanks for the follow! *hugs platonically* *gives you a muffin*

Get better soon! You're awesome, ma dude!

Helooo Humans! I have returned for an extremely short period of time and will soon abandon you all again for the real world!

I finished Rhythm of War! And wow. I realised a few things.

One: I hate Moash and I’m going to defenestrate then decapitate him if I ever have the chance.
Two: I also dislike Tarivangian. Read the Epilogue of Rhythm of War and you’ll know.
Three: Wit is one of the best characters. Try me. (HOID FOR LIFE YEAH!!!)
Four: KALADIN. YES KALADIN. (No, there will be no explanation.)
And Five: I’m going to read SA again. I’ve got a month of freedom and I ain’t gonna waste it on doing useful things! What kind of a monster do you think I am?!

So, as of today, I have read (almost) three Sanderson series: The Reckoners, The Stormlight Archives, and Mistborn (except for TLM. My library doesn’t have it yet and I’m very sad.)

I have recently purchased the Skyward series (and yes, this will be the fourth time I’ve read the first book) and will soon re-enter and explore the Cytoverse. I think I need to take a bit of a break from reading *nervous laughter* (no, I definitely won’t take a break)

Some time in the near future I’ll post some of the art I’ve been making (although, some of its only the design process, as I gave the art away before I took a picture of it) and will put up the next episode of Telrao’s Adventures. I’m currently working on two other books – which are not presentable, although I will definitely give you guys the drafts to beta read (expect those in 1-2 years. Sorry!) and am contemplating my magic systems and thinking of giving them  a rejig

Also, exciting things happening in the real world!

We had the Carols yesterday at our church, and I was a backup singer (whoo). It was fun – and surprisingly enjoyable, despite the fact that I was forced into this against my will. I think that years of musicals and being a chorus member in said musicals really helped with stage fright – and plus, nobody’s looking at you. They’re looking at their lyrics, the trees, the birds, or the other members of the band and singing along – they aren’t staring at the small group of backup singers. Did I say something about trees and birds? We were outside our church, and there is a wonderful slope that forms almost a natural amphitheater. The temperature was perfect (I’m in Australia, ye ones in the Northern Hemisphere. So it is summer where I am, and perfectly fine to be outside) and there was a lovely breeze to keep us cool!

We (the Carols band) are doing another Carols this Friday – this time, a community Carols. So I won’t know many the people in the audience. Dunno if that’ll help with the butterflies or not, but we’ll see. Wish us luck!

Sorry for the long SU! Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas season, Humans!
