The end of Words of Radiance

SPOILER ALERT....

....

....

So when Adolin kills Sadeas at the end of Words of Radiance it is so damn satisfying that I actually laughed out loud and said "YES! FINALLY!" while listening to the audiobook. But then...all I can picture is Adolin nonchalantly chucking Oathbringer out the window, "alley-oop!" dusting off his hands and then whistling as he ambles away down the corridor to find his friends "Heeeey guyz, I waz here in this other corridor all along... nothing to see down that way!"

And I'm just dying 🤣☠️

Just saw this for the first time. This is some powerful music; this and his song Sick Boi.

A Christmas Carol (Doctor Who Style)

Happy Winter Solstice everyone! A day late...I was too busy watching our absolute favorite Doctor Who episode of all time yesterday with my husband in honor of the solstice, it's our yearly tradition. So many great lines, I could just recite the whole episode 😍 "Well done everyone, we're halfway out of the dark."

Share your favorite quote from this Christmas special with me in the notes!

"There are 4,003 people I won't allow to die tonight. Do you know where that puts you?"

probably just another mistake

I've been feeling like joining Tumblr was a mistake. Tumblr is for creators, artists, writers. I'm just a wannabe. I have always been and will always be a consumer only. I want to write, to make art and music, to create. But the best I can ever hope to do is to simply imitate what's already been done. My only ability is to share what has touched me. And I am can barely manage to do that.

Oathbringer, again

As eager as I am to read the next book in the Stormlight Archive series, I also find myself wanting to just sit with Oathbringer for a little while.

There was a lot of awesomeness in this one book and I'm still processing it.

Way of Kings: the progression of my feelings toward Sadeas

Beginning of WoK: I really don't like Sadeas, I think he's a jerk

Middle of WoK: hmm... maybe, just maybe, Sadeas isn't as bad as I thought...

End of WoK: %$#@ING SADEAS 🤬😡🤯

Sarene: Well, my husband's apparently dead, so I have nothing to do. Time to troll people in power.  Ashe: Please don't troll the King, my lady.  Sarene: Of course not.  Ashe: Oh thank goodness Sarene: That would be too easy. Now, that religious crusader with the armor, psychopathic sidekick, and massive army of priests… he might be fun to play with Ashe: Oh sweet merciful Domi why *meanwhile in zombieland* Raoden: I am going to cure everyone's depression using shoes and history books Galladon: Pretty sure that hasn't ever worked Raoden: Of course it hasn't worked, it hasn't been done by ME yet. 

I love Elantris so much. The rest of the Cosmere gives us complex backstories and traumas seasoned with snark and philosophy and epic magic systems. Elantris is just two separated soulmates who decided to punch fate in the face because they felt like it. Simple, but delicious.

Tress quotes

Re-reading one of my favorite books of all time, Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. Actually, I'm listening to it on Audible this time, with the incomparable, amazing Michael Kramer narrating. I'm convinced Hoid is the funniest character narrator ever, but also somehow the most poignant; Sanderson is incredible. The thing that gets me about this book is the quotes. For example:

"One of the great tragedies of life is knowing how many people in the world are made to soar, paint, sing, or steer, except they never get the chance to find out. Whenever one does discover a moment of joy, beauty enters the world. Human beings, we can't create energy; we can only harness it. We can't create matter; we can only shape it. We can't even create life; we can only nurture it. But we can create light. This is one of the ways-the effervescence of purpose discovered."

RUSH quotes

"Where would you rather be?

Anywhere... anywhere but here

When will the time be right?

Anytime but now

Where would you rather be?

The doubt and the fear I know would all disappear

Anywhere but here

Anywhere but here"

Absolutely!!
