No, but imagine if Siuan survived and Moiraine died, and Siuan not letting the post-stilling depression take her because dammit, she made a promise to Moiraine and now that she's gone, you can be damn sure she will fullfil it. And since she would no longer be the Amyrlin Seat, she would train the new Amyrlin, who understands their cause and will also be the best Amyrlin the Tower has ever seen, and then, near the end of the show, maybe season 7, she looks at Egwene being amazing and Rand being epiphanied and thinks she made her love proud, she thinks 'We did it, my love', and then BAM! That stupid boy from Two Rivers who blew the Horn suddenly comes to her and says 'wanna go on an adventure to save your girlfriend from the foxes'

I might be into this...

I don't see anything "heroic" about being tortured and unnecessarily brutally murdered only to serve as grief for another character

but maybe it's just me.

I don't understand how so many elements of a single episode of television could be so wonderful and perfect and then they could just casually throw an unforgivable choice in there alongside them.

I'm legitimately really upset.

I can extrapolate narrative effects from this choice, but Siuan's death (and the level of brutality with which it was accomplished) is the very first time I don't believe the narrative ends justify the means.

Rafe and his team have fixed so many things, so why did they have to choose to make THIS one worse?

The Wheel of Time - Season 3 Episode 6

yes my favourite character is egwene and yes I am into the rand lanfear dynamic we exist

This was almost too easy

People who insist they need to read the books before watching the wheel of time, I am holding your hand. Listen to me. That’s the dark one speaking.

Pleaaaaaaase just watch the show first Trust Me you will likely have a much better time, you can read the books later when you’re really invested and you’ll get more out of them when you can pick up on the early foreshadowing.

I adore these books, but the show is a much better and more accessible point of entry for most people new to the story. Even if just for ease of watching 8 episode seasons instead of reading 800 page bricks. Also the show’s gayer and has more early focus on and development of the main female characters.

also also, and this is key, I need more people to watch the show as soon as possible so it gets renewed for the five more planned seasons k thx bye

Tumblr Tuesday: The Wheel Weaves as The Wheel Wills

The Wheel of Time has two episodes left, and emotions are running as high as the White Tower of Tar Valon. This one is all about the gals, their pals, and their lovers—if the fanart you're churning out at frankly alarming rates is anything to go by. Jk, we love it, please never stop. Here's a small collection of beautiful fanart for you while you bit-chompingly await the next episode.

Please be mindful of some mild spoilers (if you squint) ahead!
