So...if you've followed me recently because of Wheel of Time...are you sure? Are really sure? I'm incredibly inconsistent and post random intere-- Okay then.

I tag:

#wot book spoilers for book spoilers

#wot prime spoilers for when I vibrate with excitement over the show before the latest episode is even over

Don't go too far back in my general #wheel of time tag, coz I might have missed re-tagging some old book meta and fanart that might spoil you

Non-WoT followers: I'm so sorry, this is my new hyperfixation. You knew this coming in.

So in the books, the first weave someone does tends to become their "specialty" as an adult. And a lot of the time what that weave is, is telling of what kind of character the person is. Moiraine's first weave, for example, is an eavesdropping weave. Nynaeve's is healing.

It's interesting, then, that show!Liandrin's first weave is "bullet to the head".

Honest to God, I'd love if, "There are two genders, Saidin and Said" was the elementary school version of the One Power, and by the time you get to college, it really should have been, "Who the fuck knows, even", but the WoT world just has not reached that point yet.

#op i love your ideas on the lore #wheel of time

No, but the implications of Ran and Moraine's talk is so INTERESTING, because.

Everyone in this age thinks the submit/dominate dichotomy when using the One Power is a gendered thing. Women submit, men dominate. As is, I understand, the case in the books.

But this conversation implies the divide is not actually gendered, it's about the quantities of power involved. Once there's too much power in a weave, you need to be in control of it, or it washes you away. And this would be extremely significant in explaining why the Aes Sedai have gotten so much less powerful; they think they need to submit to channel always, so they simply can't handle more powerful weaves.

#oh this is brilliant #kinda explains nynaeve's trouble with touching the source too #i love this show #wheel of time #wot show spoilers #wot prime spoilers

Anyway, loving the DnD vibes of the Tanchico crew: luckily stumbling on clues, random-ass shenanigans, and then suddenly oh shit a villain is in the room.

Lanfear with two(three?) wrong moves in a row. You're losing your grip, girl. I know you wanted Egwene and Sammael out of the way, but you underestimate how much Rand hates people he loves getting hurt.

I figured Sammael was combined with Bel'al but I didn't think he'd get the one-hit KO so soon. Pity, I thought he'd give Lanfear a couple more good burns, first.

Moghedien, you freak. Delightful. Lanfear was right though, you're insane.

Late to the season 1 defense but: a rewatch says season 1 FUCKED, actually. Even the changes I was iffy with at the time are now charming to me. Some stand-outs: Lanaeve meeting, season 1 Mat's humor, Cauthor road trip (shorter as it was), babygirl Rand, warder culture, Randgwene.

Now that we have channeling Bode, I want someone to go "oh Light, another Cauthon" like in the books. I want her to be like Mat in all the funny and awesome ways. Give me failgirl badass Bode Cauthon.

#i know the show has limited time but #they did give a lot of female characters more time #just a little would be fine #Please rafe just for me #wheel of time #wot show spoilers #wot prime spoilers #wot s3 spoilers

I know the advice to keep your parents from going into deep conservativism and conspiracy theories is to get them into a community but. The last time my mom joined a community, she got into a cult and then was scammed. So. What are we gonna do.
