This is such a good point!!!

I find it kinda odd how people talk about writing “flawed” characters like the flaws are an afterthought

Like “cool cool we’ve got this perfect hero now to just sprinkle on some Irritability and Trust Issues then microwave for 6 minutes on high until Done”

But I’ve personally found it feels a lot more useful to just… think of the flaws as the Good Traits except bad this time

The protagonist is loyal? Maybe that means they have a hard time recognizing toxic relationships and are easily manipulated by those they want to trust

The hero is compassionate? Maybe they work too hard and overextend themselves trying to help people and then they refuse to ask for help when they need it themselves for fear of burdening others

They’re dedicated to their ideals? Maybe they’re also too stubborn to know when to quit and they have trouble apologizing for their mistakes

If they’re creative, they can also be flighty. If they’re confident, they can be arrogant. If they’re brave, they might be reckless. If they’re smart, they could be condescending. Protective can become controlling, and someone who’s carefree could very well also be emotionally distant

In my opinion, the best “flaws” aren’t just added on afterwards. The best flaws are baked in deep, ‘cause they’re really just virtues turned upside down

Oathbringer review/thoughts *SPOILERS CONTAINED*

Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson

Book 3 of the Stormlight Archive series

Page count: 1233

Genre: fantasy

***SPOILERS CONTAINED BEYOND THIS POINT***

Wow. What a ride. This book was not only so exciting that I stayed up past midnight three nights in a row reading it, but also incredibly meaningful.

I was upset by Elhokar's death because I had hopes for Moash and Elhokar was close to redemption. And by upset I mean I was throwing my pillow down the stairs. That scene where Kaladin had his breakdown and the humans and parshmen he cared about started fighting really got to me. Poor Kal has gone through so much and he just needs love. (Not necessarily romantic, just love in general)

This book really addresses the meanings of right and wrong, after getting to know the parshmen with Kaladin and finding out that the humans we're the voidbringers.

I think there's a lot of representation of different human problems and mental illnesses in this book: split/multiple personality with Shallan, depression with Kaladin, epilepsy with Renarin, amnesia and alcohol addiction with Dalinar. As Brandon Sanderson himself said, character's limitations are more interesting than their strengths, and the realism of these characters is one of the amazing things about these books, as well as the detailed worlds and cultures he created. And, of course, the crossover with Warbreaker and the mention of Vivenna.

I loved this book. So much. I'm glad Shallan and Adolin ended up together, because I don't think I could imagine Kaladin and Shallan. Also, Dalinar fighting off Odium was the coolest thing ever. I'm so happy that Jasnah became queen.

I think it's awesome that Dalinar learned to read at the end because as he said, the men claimed battle and the women claimed literature, and now with Jasnah, Shallan, Lift, Lyn, etc, learning to fight and Dalinar and Renarin learning to read, they're reclaiming what used to be closed to them. It's so cool.

Thank you, Brandon, for this amazing new update on Roshar, and I can't wait for the next one.

RICK YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE DIDN'T YOU

Of course, who doesn't

Reblog if you love Jeremy Jordan. I want to know how many good people there are in the tumblr world.

Agreed! I loved most of the Love Simon movie, but that part really bothered me. I like the way the book portrayed it better.

simon’s friends tried to treat their dumb straight people drama to simon being outed to their entire school and then proceeded to show ZERO empathy towards their friend who had just undergone an incredibly traumatic experience like yeah sure he lied! but nick and abby still end up together and simon’s gay so there was never any chance for him and leah anyway slkfsjdlfkjs

AND THEN they proceeded to not talk to him for what??? days?? weeks?? even when he was the victim of homophobic bullying in front of a whole crowd of people. and then when they decided simon was cool again they didn’t even apologise they just went “want to go to the fairground? :)” as if they hadn’t just ditched their friend through one of the worst periods of his life what the fuck

They all yelled in excitement. Tamara yelled because she was happy. Aaron yelled because he liked it when other people were happy, and Call yelled because he was sure they were going to die.
