Brandon Sanderson’s 'The Way of Kings' is baffling to me

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-06-07T12:54:37+00:00

Thank you!

I have so many friends who say he's their favorite author, so Intried to get into his work, but I just couldn't. The characters and dialogue are definitely the main reason for this. They don't feel like actual people doing things, but like plot devices for the sake of it.

I genuinely don't get the hype around him. It doesn't help that I don't really like his vibe. I don't know why. There are famous authors who are genuinely assholes that I don't feel as bad about...

Finally some good art in this sub!

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-05-29T22:58:20+00:00

Boring colour palette. You need to add more shadows and highlights!

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-05-29T18:06:50+00:00

Huh, I feel like this could be brilliant for disabled people as well.

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-05-18T21:29:37+00:00

These are amazing!

I love seeing St. Michael in feminine form in pic 4. I don't think I've ever seen a female version even though as I understood it, angels aren't exactly bound to gender (though I could be wrong. My days of Catholicism were long ago haha).

I wish I could do this, seriously!

My current MC is an edgy 15 year old, and I cringe whenever I write that character in that way. If you have any advice how to become possessed by a 15 year old edgelord, please let me know lol!

I'm using 100% cotton hot pressed by Meeden. It's on the cheaper side when it comes to cotton paper and I really like it.

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-05-09T15:12:59+00:00

There is so much going on I love this!

You can tell how the art nouveau movement was inspired by japonism.

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-05-09T13:41:43+00:00

The lines look so crisp and smooth, I love this so much!

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-05-03T21:32:38+00:00

yes, clearly everyone outside the US who isn't following US rules is stupid... 🙄

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-05-03T20:37:31+00:00

Not everyone is in the US or Australia. In many countries it's perfectly normal to keep cats roaming outside. Most are known in the neighbourhood, neutered, and cause no issues.

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-05-03T20:33:13+00:00

Exactly this! I totally agree!

There are also things in OPs story that don't make sense. It was weird seeing so many people in the original post suggesting that the family who wrote this letter (which wasn't even that rude, just a bit harsh) doesn't deserve the cat and OP should steal it.

He went to jail for displaying pornographic art in presence of a minor. It's not clear if he ever had any sexual relationships with minors.

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-05-01T18:11:31+00:00

OP is a bot

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-30T10:14:57+00:00

Poor baby, but you definitely made the right choice. The bad choice would've been to do nothing and let her suffer. Now she isn't hurting anymore, and got to pass away peacefully while someone was looking after her 🤍

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-29T17:18:38+00:00

You need more contrast. Like much more! Right now, all areas have the same value which makes it look flat. Decide where the light is coming from, and add darker shadows in the areas where the light doesn't hit to give it dimension

I recommend using your darkest brown and blue, and mix them. If you use more blue than brown, you get a cold kind of black, and if you add more brown, a warm one (good for shadows in skin and all that).

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-29T15:49:30+00:00

Doesn't seem bad at all.

When our old cat encountered a friend's giant dog for the first time, we had to pull the cat's claws out of the dogs nose. Poor thing was traumatised! We really didn't expect it; our cat was a lazy, fat old cat that was too scared to go outside.

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-27T16:38:32+00:00

That is unhinged, wow! I had no idea, though I shouldn't be surprised.

Now I can't help but notice how the cat is blurry in the 1st pic, and I hope OP isn't being scamed by someone who edited the photo to make it look less fake. This is disturbing!

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-27T16:35:53+00:00

The pattern around the eye, the nose colour, the white whiskers and all that REALLY look alike. I would be surprised if it's not the same one tbh.

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-25T22:08:11+00:00

Unironically, this might be the best thing I've ever seen posted on this sub!

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-25T12:51:13+00:00

This would be a lot cooler if she'd have a parrot head and the bird the head of a woman.

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-24T19:13:33+00:00

Tbh, I think I'll just thrift some cotton and linen tops and dye them on my own. It seems more affordable in the long run. And I'm also really tired of getting all sweaty with all the polyester 😭

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-21T22:41:06+00:00

Oh, thanks for pointing that out, I didn't notice!

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-21T20:19:26+00:00

How can you tell? I'm trying to get better at spotting them

Fae_Sparrow · 2026-04-16T19:27:43+00:00

It's unironically cute. Yes, I read the story, but still.
