Okay, I have no idea how many of you will know what this means but.....
          	Wind and Truth arrived!!!!!
          	For context: about a month ago, I discovered that the next book in my literal favourite series (the Stormlight Archive) was up for preorder and would be published December 6. I spent a bunch of money to preorder the hardcover copy. It said it would arrive 6-7 days later (on the 12 or 13th). It's early!
          	And it's sooooooooo pretty. The dust jacket has a colour version of the map on the inside! You can see the non-colour version in the book, but this is colour so it's cooler. There's also the symbols of the Knights Radiant (from the series) there too and it's so pretty. Previously, I've had access to a hardcover with a dust jacket just once: when I had to get the fourth book (this is the fifth, have I mentioned that?) from my library. They taped the jacket down so I couldn't really look at anything, but they didn't do that with this one! 
          	The front cover of the actual book, without the dust jacket, is embossed with a symbol from the series too and it looks so nice. It's all so simple and crisp. And then, on the inside of the cover, there's these stunning artworks of Honour and Cultivation, who are two of the three gods of the series, and then two of Honour's Heralds. Previously, the art has been just the Heralds (I think) and this book is the end of the first arc of the story.
          	Can you tell I'm excited about this? Brandon Sanderson is my favourite author and this is my favourite series. I'm so excited. The bus ride time I've been using to write is going to be reading for the next week, y'all (this will NOT interfere with posting, don't worry)
          	Anyways, I'm really excited, and I want to know if any of you know about the cosmere. (*incoherent excited screaming in the background*)

Hey weird question... What colour are the Wizard's pants...?

@LumiTheBookWrym hm. I feel like a shawl would be Grian's more casual wear - if it weren't for the red sweater Scar gave him :)

Ohhh got it! I currently have the watcher wearing a shawl so I'll change that

@LumiTheBookWrym TW&TW Scar has more of a tunic than the robe I see on the Last Life skin, with like darker pants underneath it.
            And because I'm not actually sure whether 'both' refers to both Scars or both the Watcher and the Wizard, I'm also gonna clarify how I imagine Grian's outfit.
            I imagine him with a much more enveloping cloak, with like flowy sleeves maybe, so you don't really see what he wears underneath too often (The difference here is that Scar's cloak doesn't fully cover his outfit underneath, doesn't touch the ground (Grian's just brushes the ground), and the sleeves aren't as big). What Grian wears underneath is just... a white button-up and some plain black pants. Very plain, but the Watcher cloak is fancy. He's also got the Watcher mask. 
            The only time I describe Scar is when he first shows up in chapter 2 (if you want a reference for exactly what I said), and there's some description of Grian scattered throughout, but not much.
            Honestly, I'm not overly set on anything about these designs. If you want to add other details, or ignore some smaller things, go ahead. It's super cool to me that you're making a fanart, so I'm really excited to see your take on their designs for this story. Go wild!

Ok so what do you want the plot to do?

@LumiTheBookWrym It's smarter to remain fairly anonymous.
            Anyways! I do actually have a bit of information I can share with you... I think I want the next thing I write to be a fairytale retelling. It's one of my favourite niches. Or something medieval fantasy. Scarian or Flower Husbands. Don't know how to fit the fairytale in, or what fairytale. Any thoughts?

I completely understand. I don't want you to feel pressured to share anything, especially stuff with personal information, I would do the same. The internet can be dangerous.

@LumiTheBookWrym I do want to share the ideas with you, and I'll see what I can do to unconnect it to myself, but it likely won't be any time soon.
