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.

> sees complaints that a female character looks "too masculine" or "like an ugly lesbian"

> ask if we got an actual butch character or if shes just a normal looking woman that isnt wearing make up and a dress

> person is visibly confused, i start explaining the difference between actual butch presentation and dress and a woman simply dressing comfortably to avoid indecent exposure

> person laughs and says "she straight up looks like a guy, i can barely tell her apart from the actual men"

> google the character

> shes just a normal looking woman that isnt wearing make up and a dress

> sees complaints that a female character looks "too masculine" or "like an ugly lesbian"

> ask if we got an actual butch character or if shes just a black woman

> person is visibly confused, i start explaining the difference between actual butch presentation and dress and how black women are held to white standards of femininity and are often accused of looking like/being men because of white people applying these standards to them

> person laughs and says "she straight up looks like a guy, i can barely tell her apart from the actual men. why are you bringing race into this?"

> google the character

> shes just a black woman

Anyone else notice the twins go "Cauthons (we) are good for (very little)"? I mean it's just one line, probably said out of frustration in their lessons, but it's... These poor girls, I think they've gotten some of Mat's insecurities. It makes sense, but that's so sad.

Thankfully Perrin and Alanna were encouraging. Alanna might not have been the right teacher for Nynaeve, but she's doing great with the twins so far.

Also i have to say, i love the showโ€™s take on faile.

Tiny murder gremlin? Excellent design already. Make her a battle couple with her gentle giant husband? Oh no thatโ€™s like 99% of the mf couples i care about.

Crucially (books spoilers), i can believe this woman would lead the creation of maiden imitators in the westlands, which wasโ€ฆless believable in the books, where she talked about her knives more then she used them

STOP saying Moiraine is Rand's mother. That woman hasn't got a single nurturing, maternal bone in her body, and I like her that way. Moiraine is Rand's absentee legal guardian who was reluctantly forced to take custody due to the will.
