This is a me problem: I fully enjoy The Wheel of Time Season 3 and consider it objectively good television. But I also have an id. There are minor book characters and specific dynamics that are of outsized importance to me. I was never expecting the show to give me exactly what I dream of, but it's unfortunate that Season 3 hasn't really delivered on any of my eclectic mix of favourite supporting characters:
I should stress that I love what the show has done with Logain so far, and it's true to the books that he isn't around much. He's featured more heavily in the show than he was in the books! There's a good chance his overall character arc will be more satisfying than the book version. It's just unfortunate that his absence coincides with my disappointment over Galad (some dudebro using his name) and my Asmodean anxiety. Looking at the shape of Season 3, there wasn't really room for Asmo, so maybe he will be in Season 4 and be everything I have dreamt! But that's a long way off and I just want to know.
If the show won't give me my pathetic wet cat Forsaken, they better find a way to make up for it in Season 4 and beyond. Like cast a really really cute guy as Jahar Narishma, who is another one of my favourite minor supporting charcters. Narishma deserves his moment in the sun.
i agree with you!! we should've gotten logain crumbs already, given he's been in 9 episodes already, and they made it a point of saying he'd be sent back to the tower; so that makes me think he could be in the finale? but if he is, they should've shown us since the beginning of the season that he's been in the tower all this time (maybe just a background shot of him in the garden, or even nynaeve talking to him for foreshadowing reasons)
wheel of time fans be like I can't wait to see Nynaeve DROWN and Mat HANGED
and rand INSIDE A BOX
Secret Santa gift for @rckll-bllys from @miekkamaisteri! You had Asmodean listed, so obviously I had to take the opportunity to draw him!
hi hi! you're my certified asmodean enjoyer moot and i wanted to know what headcanons or thoughts you have about him, and if you have a faceclaim/design for him! <3
Oh hii <3
My design for him is just this one, standard dark brown eyes and wavy hair, has the energy of both a wet cat and an attention whore.
I don't really do much headcanoning I mostly just Rotate Blorbo in Mind, but I love collecting character playlist, to better rotate blorbo in mind to. I haven't managed to collect a full playlist for asmo (suggestions welcome!) but some songs I associate him with are kamikazee - stripped by missio and darkness settles in by five finger death punch
For Asmo Thoughts like most asmo enjoyers I obviously wish he wouldn't have been killed off, both because I would have liked to see more of him but also because the idea of him throwing his lot in with rand and the light, genuinely but not because of any desire for self betterment, just due to seeing light's victory as his only shot at survival and standing by rand's side as a new shot at glory, is really interesting to me and I would have liked to see where it would have gone more.
Also fun fact the first time I read wot as a kid I was actually relieved when asmodean died bc I was really worried about all the forsaken as threats and didn't trust him around rand at all. Truly one of my biggest attitude changes on a reread.
Favourite asmodean moments include the one in the aftermath of the battle of cairhien, when rand wakes up in the morning to two people in his tent who have been worrying over him all night, and they are aviendha, who's in love with him. And asmodean
I appreciate that
wait i must've missed this, where was it implied that valda can channel?
In 3.6 he could sense Alanna channeling from quite a ways away. And now in 3.7 he could see Bode and Eldrin's weaves.
ooooh i didn't remember thet 3.6 thing, thanks!! i wish they couldve explored this more
I mean they explored it more than they explored Jaichim being able to channel in the books.
it seems i also missed that entirely while reading😭
In early TGH (the scene in which he's referred to as 'the man who called himself Bors'), he expresses in narration the intent to become a Dreadlord. Dreadlords can all channel. It also neatly accounts for his apparent dislike of being a darkfriend, and the cognitive dissonance he clearly experiences when trying to serve the Shadow, if he only turned to the Shadow because he doesn't want to go mad and die.
i vaguely remember that now, and it makes a lot of sense, thanks!!
I appreciate that
