Aes Sedai Of The Brown Ajah

@nobondiscloser

Currently focusing on The Wheel of Time, especially Moiraine, Lan, Lanfear, and Verin. This is not a spoiler free blog.
You were afraid so you wanted armor. Uncontrolled thoughts are troublesome in the Dream World. Control them.

Once again just thinking about the fact that I think wheel of time season 3 episode 4 is one of or even the best episode of fantasy tv ever made

my fav posts in the wheel of time tag are the random personal posts where op accidentally uses a combo of the words “wheel” and “time” in their tags. like the tag is tel’aran’rhiod and they’re accidentally touching it while asleep lol

thinking about how judging by the rules weve already seen, master dreamwalkers probably have to be people capable of keeping an iron grip on their thoughts and feelings and either thinking of absolutely nothing or very narrowly focusing on one specific idea to the exclusion of all else & what that says about lanfear as a character. like the way she shaped and narrowed her mind into this laser focused obsession with her ex when she used to be just. a normal ass nice lady scientist with her own whole entire life. she had one extremely big heartbreak but that didnt have to define her. until it did bc the whole person that she was had to disappear into something much smaller in order to continue tolerating her own existence

In light of the new sneak peek for 3x06, i have... idk, it's either a Hot Take or a personal confession but... (spoilers through the 3x06 sneak peek)

i love that the first time Egwene meets Bair in Tel’aran’rhiod she appears like a Maiden of the Spear

think the 3 boys show exactly the different types of life

Perrin is free will like no wheel is telling me what to do!

Mat is life in general you make or others make choices as you go for you so it’s like half x2! You just go with it

Rand is destiny/fate you cant escape it and you have to follow it no matter what you want bc your desire is 2nd!

i cannot believe one of my favourite book series finally has an adaptation and my favourite character (and one of the books arguably most popular characters) IS UNDERRATED????

MAT CAUTHON FANS WHERE ARE YOU????

Another observation from my EOTW reread: I did not realize the Lan-Nynaeve seeds show up so early. I also see exactly how they managed to slip under the radar of younger me.

I’m so excited to see Donál do the mat v ‘finn scene and to see the effects design for the ‘finn and I know a lot of other people are also excited for this, but it is darkly funny to me how this collective excitement for this sequence is just turning into a rising wave of clamoring to see one of the most popular characters hanged.

While the show rightfully skipped a lot of the bio-engineering going on in the Age of Legends to keep plots clear and concise, low-key I was hoping they'd toss in the 'yeah the Aiel are a genetically modified group of people who were literally made to be the servants who were happy to serve in the time of paradise' fan concept.

But then again they didn't disprove it, so...

I feel like Lanfear really forked herself over by torturing Egwene, or at least by letting Egwene find out she is the culprit; right now she has Rand in a real vulnerable space, but my feeling is that he will absolutely not forgive her for targeting Egwene. I feel like the minute Egwene tells him what Lanfear has been up to, he's gonna snap out of her control much harder than she was expecting. Thursday can't come soon ennnouuughhhhh

Protecting women he cares about is one of rand al’thor’s highest priorities in the books so I can’t imagine show rand’s reaction being very pleasant for Lanfear. She thinks she’s got him isolated enough that egwene isn’t a threat to her and here’s hoping we get to see her learn how wrong she is :)))

The commitment of the aes sedai to wearing monochrome outfits for their ajah color is an impressive level of commitment to the bit in universe of the show

more thoughts on 3x05 & the 3x06 sneak peek

I have a messy collection of thoughts about Moiraine after seeing the sneak peek. I'm going to stop cleaning them up and just let them be messy.
