Needle was too small to be a proper sword, it was hardly more than a toy. She'd been a stupid little girl when Jon had it made for her. "It's just a sword," she said, aloud this time... but it wasn't.

Needle was Robb and Bran and Rickon, her mother and her father, even Sansa. Needle was Winterfell's grey walls, and the laughter of its people. Needle was the summer snows, Old Nan's stories, the heart tree with its red leaves and scary face, the warm earthy smell of the glass gardens, the sound of the north wind rattling the shutters of her room. Needle was Jon Snow's smile. He used to mess my hair and call me "little sister," she remembered, and suddenly there were tears in her eyes.

"I'm in my late 20s and I'm scared I've already peaked" just don't peak then, idiot. what do you mean like you're going to just stop trying to think harder and build taller and learn more and get luckier and read deeper and dress better and fuck weirder and run faster and draw crazier and smoke danker and dance bigger and steal better and stun everyone with your cunty charm and zeal because, what, you think those are the rules? get real. get up. you have another 50 years and you're not going to use them??? give them to me.

something i appreciate so much that wheel of time does better than any other fantasy show is showcasing all the different cultures that are present in the world and how that forms a character’s perspective and informs how they interact with characters from a different culture from their own.

in just the first 3 episodes of s3: its perrin and alanna sharing the different ways they grieve their dead and even liandrin's funeral custom (which helps propel the plot forward too!), how loial introduces himself in an ogier fashion and how bain and chiad do so in an aiel fashion to marin al'vere and not to mention just how the aiel culture just Clashes with everyone that's not aiel themself, its siuan continually using fishing analogies from her tairen unbringing, and how Different and Vibrant tar valon is from tanchico is from the aiel waste/three-fold land. and there's so much more i didn't catch

the show doesn't let you forget for a second that this fantasy world is vast with its own nations and people and cultures and that these characters are from different places of differing upbringings and it makes the world feel so alive.

it seeps in everywhere and makes the show so textured in a way i haven't seen in a long time. and don't even get me started on the wardrobes!
