experimental colors on my boy
Was reading through the Cosmere RPG preview and found some interesting lore bits in the Safety chapter. Maybe these things were already known (I haven't read the novellas) but there were some I wasn't aware of.
"Asexuality. All populations on Roshar, regardless of species and culture, include a spectrum of asexual people. Herdazians have a long tradition of valuing people who aren’t interested in sex or producing offspring. Singers, excluding when in mate form, are not expected to show any interest in sex."
I don't think I've ever seen Asexuality specifically called out like this, instead of it just being a footnote in Sexuality sections. Good on Brotherwise. The Singer thing was pretty obvious from Venli's chapters, but I didn't know that about Herdazians. Loving all the lore I'm learning about them from the rpg. Absolutely the most based ethnicity on Roshar.
"Discrimination Based on Eye Shade. The spectrum of eye colors for humans on Roshar is different from our own. Both darkeyes and lighteyes can have violet, blue, green, yellow, gray, or brown eyes."
Full list of possible eye colors. Though idk I'd probably just let my players have red, orange, or pink eyes if they really wanted it, why not. This section didn't mention if it's possible to have a medium shade that makes people confused on whether you count as darkeyes or lighteyes, but I'd assume so.
"Gender Identity. Breathing in Stormlight over time passively heals Radiants to their true genders."
I did know this, but it's nice to have it spelled out instead of buried in a novella.
"Gender Roles. Vorinism is one of many ideologies that impose strict gender roles on followers. Will your game include details such as female safehands, male illiteracy, and so on? Is being an ardent the only way for gender nonconforming characters to avoid social persecution?"
That was something I was wondering about, how Vorinism handles trans and non-binary identities. I'd assume "poorly" but I was curious if there were any quirks, considering it's pretty mild about same sex relationships. I don't know if the trans character talks about their life pre-transition or not, but this passage kind of implies that being an ardent is the only way for non-binary people to feel safe, but I'm not sure if it's just addressing the obvious assumption or actually stating its canon.
"Mental Illness. The Stormlight Archive features many characters with mental illnesses. While some might correlate mental illness with becoming a Knight Radiant, they would be missing the point."
Lol "please don't force your fanon on other people."
the animatic that came from a late night talk with a friend

The Guy Who Survived That One Time (mistborn kelsier)
Rhythm of Affirmation (part two – part one is here)
Renarin finds himself a sought-after bachelor after all. It’s a fruitless endeavour, ladies. Aaah, the fluff. A particular shoutout and thanks to the lovely people on the Bridge Four discord server for helping fine tuning the dialogue 💕 Finding ways to depict rhythms is an interesting challenge, especially with RoW and more listener and singer POVs in mind :)

My first tumblr post: I drew ten of our main characters during the Way of Kings! I recently drew a portrait of Jasnah and Shallan in honor of my reread, and that drawing started me on a kick of drawing as many of our Stormlight characters as I could as I finished rereading Words of Radiance with my fiancé. I love drawing out visual references of the characters for the movie in my mind that plays as I reread these incredible books! Ten for Honor, of course.
Probably my favorite characters to draw were Dalinar and Navani (I took some liberties with Navani’s havah, but I think a LITTLE scandalousness is in character for her), Adolin (I enjoyed the exercise of making him resemble his dad, but more handsome and less weathered), Kaladin (plus a possible eleventh character…), and Wit (whose smug face is very fun to draw). I also really enjoyed making Adolin and Renarin resemble each other, and I love how Navani and Jasnah turned out to look like older and younger versions of each other.
Please enjoy! I’m so grateful for the Cosmere community and to be able to be able to transport myself to the world of Roshar!
