If you’re just watching the WoT show and have not read the books, this post will contain spoilers.

That said, I was prepared to be annoyed by the whole “which one of the 5 is the Dragon, though!?” thing they’re doing when it’s far less ambiguous in the original, but I find myself actually kind of appreciating the way they’re doing it.

Because it is still fairly obvious, if you think about it. Eggy and Nynaeve can channel, so their inclusion in the story makes sense. Perrin has not only the whole “I killed my wife!” thing (which does irk me–creating a character only to treat her as a concept, but w/e), but now also they’re introducing his connection to the wolves pretty hard. Mat is dealing with the knife and its effects, so he has something going on. But why is Rand in the story?

But the reason that I like that is because if they called attention to it, it would kind of dominate the narrative space. Instead, this way, Rand gets to develop as a character more softly, react to things rather than drive them. And that suits him–he’s the center of this huge spiraling narrative, but all his biggest conflicts are very quiet and personal and internal, so letting him kind of breathe, almost in the background for now, works for that–he’s absorbing all of this along with the audience and that’s eventually going to come to bear.

Firstly, apologies to everybody not here for it but the Wheel of Time WILL be my entire personality for the next 3-4 months. Secondly, yes I did watch the trailer when I woke up to feed the baby at 3am. Thirdly, I continue to be just so very excited at what the show is doing with pairing up characters who didn’t interact/didn’t interact until much later/interacted offscreen. Perrin and Aviendha fucking up Whitecloaks! Rand talking to gentled Logain about the Power! Nynaeve and Alanna [who is probably show!Myrelle!]. Inspired choices everybody, really what’s the point of a TV adaptation if you don’t use the opportunity to do some fun new things, is it September yet

Notice: not only do your friends actually like you, they secretly like you twice as much as they let on

An experience that made me feel much more assured in my friendships was at college, a friend and myself were talking about a third friend of ours and how cool and knowledgeable and smart she is and how we feel like we could never be that cool. The next day I was working with a professor on some paper presentations we were about to have and when I came out of the staff room I was informed that these two aforementioned friends were having the same discussion about me. And it turns out we spent a lot of time thinking about our friends who aren’t currently in the room and gushing over how cool and smart and talented they are without being able to say all of it to their face.

Your friends secretly love you a lot more than they already express, just like you love them so intensely that saying it all to their faces would sound clumsy to your own ears. It’s true though

just saw someone advocating for ppl going off their meds so they aren’t reliant on “big pharma” and I’m like. what disease do you have that spontaneously treats itself the moment you feel morally superior to others? I’m dying to know

disabled people relying on a medical system that’s inherently unethical and capitalist and cruel is not an active choice we make by taking each breath

other disabled people deserve to live and they deserve the meds they need to be comfortable and alive, even if those meds patents are currently owned by monstrous billionaires

So I wonder if this is how they are going to do Rand and Elayne’s meet-cute in the show. He sneaks into the White Tower gardens to talk to Logain and runs into the Daughter Heir of Andor.

I love how we are already seeing how cracks forming between Lan and Moiraine! That one shot of Lan looking Moiraine is never the look he ever gives her!

NEED a slowed gif of Nynaeve blasting off again in the Two Rivers/Accepted test, Egwene having controlled weaves versus Nynaeve’s massive fuckoff power ball is very fun
