no offence but i think a lot of us me included don’t actually want romantic love as badly as we think and really are just lonely and crave a closeness and intimacy that feels out of reach in friendships because of society’s emphasis on marriage and the nuclear family so we project that into the never ending search for a perfect love and a soulmate when really we all just want to mean something to someone
i’d imagine they misread this panel in 338! the way it’s spaced, if you’re not quite paying attention you might just read, “i’m erica, zach’s sister” and miss the “and i” on the next line. i did the same thing when i first read it tbh, i had to go back and check again to realize
Small question: How many siblings does Zack have? It's been a while since I last read through the entirety of IWBACAG, but I thought Stella was Zack's only sister and Erica was her friend? But in the more recent chapters, she's Zack's sister? Is this a retcon, or am I misremembering some stuff?
Er... i don't think its mentioned anywhere that Erica is Zack's sister? I think i wrote it so that Erica is Stella's(zack's sister) friend. Stella is Zack's only sibling, and if you can find the error, please point the page out so that i can correct it, thenk q
yeah i personally have always thought of the ship as like rivals to friends to lovers, where beacon arc is like ruby constantly insisting on being friends with weiss, and weiss gradually warming towards her because of it, then the the romantic subtext comes later, in like volumes 6-8
I really enjoy Whiterose as a ship, but I do wish more of the FNDM surrounding it weren't so invested in their V1 characterizations.
Ruby and Weiss have both grown so much and honestly its as they are now that I love the idea of a romance between them.
Weiss has become a lot kinder and wiser, while still being able to get a bit prissy and bent out of shape.
Ruby has had more burdens to be sure, but has also grown smoother and more confident in how she carried herself.
Both still have a lot of their original energy, when Ruby is in a good space she can be very bouncy and Weiss can be quite regal, but there's more to them than "Puppy X Tsudere" and I wish we saw more of that.

isekai needs to start borrowing from the truly unhinged world of middle grade fantasy novels for its premises. where’s the isekai where a high school student falls into a hippo enclosure at his part time job at a zoo and is transported to another world? or the one where a bunch of middle schoolers go to a haunted house on halloween, and are kidnapped and taken to another world to be sold into slavery?
One of the funniest things in the Lost Metal is the debate about the historical accuracy of Soonie Pups going on in the broadsheets.
Netflix stop canceling popular shows with huge fandoms that were regularly in the top 10 most watched worldwide challenge (impossible)

Love that Gavilar spends the entire Stormlight 5 prologue thinking about how much better and closer to divinity he is than everyone he interacts with, but the people he interacts with are, in order (spoilers below the cut):

disney employees are starting a full week of walkouts leading to their big walkout on march 22nd, 2022. they’ve asked people to not use disney products during this week. (no disney+, hulu, espn, playing games, watching videos, reviewing/blogging about any of their IP, no going to the parks). this is a targeted and timed action you can concretely participate in.
they’re asking people to also support by using those hashtags and to sign their petition in solidarity.
i think it’s also kinda implied that the highstorms have a huge effect on height/stature, bc the alethi, who live closest to the origin, have the tallest average height on roshar, while the shin, who are completely sheltered, have the shortest average height
I hadn't quite noticed just how tall Kaladin is supposed to be until it was mentioned here. I'm noticing it now that I'm looking for it in this read through. [Redacted] in The Sunlit Man is tall compared to the people on Canticle, but short compared to the Alethi. How fuckin tall is Kaladin? Is he a Chara sized 20 year old?
More importantly...is he taller than Rock? Rock is bulky and overall bigger, but IS HE TALLER?? I DO NOT KNOW!?
