I am so in love with the type of fantasy the Wheel of time chooses to be.

Perrin wins by sparing the bad guy's life; Loial sacrifices himself not by fighting but by destroying his people's work; those not fighting are essential for saving lives and preserving the Two Rivers' legacy (in a stunning parallel to the Fall of Manetheren where the past lived on because some people didn't fight but fled to carry on life in the Two Rivers.)

Warriors and armies are important but those who made the difference here are the ones who pointedly didn't fight.

This gives me so much hope for the boys' and Lan's later arcs because it seems the show is leaning more into strength not being raw power and existing in different shapes.

so you've got your twelve least favorite coworkers who you would dearly like to see die. fast forward three thousand years of extradimensional prison and you're in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the only people you know are still your twelve least favorite coworkers. half of them are career academics.

and only one of you can be the universe's next top model.

I would like to once more formally rescind any complaints I made previously about the give Perrin an s1 wife choice he’s absolutely the most emotionally grounded and mature of the boys of course he would have got married off in this small town at age 20.

And as I thought they would, they’re also using her death as a way to make his overprotectiveness towards Faile in the books make more sense than just being a factor of how RJ’s male characters often have an obsessive need to protect women.

Morgase when she hears that Elayne has dropped out of school and ran off to Liverpool to join her ex-boyfriend's band:

wot is so good it makes me want MEN and WOMEN to be together. to KISS even. this is madness

Perrin: I have to save my home town!

Faile, who is from the other side of the continent:

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.
