Just got through the first chapters in the Waste and the Rhuidean chapters of The Shadow Rising and oh my GOD is this so much cooler on a reread!!

I had been excited for this part the first time because people had hyped it up for me, and I did think it was cool and enjoyed having my suspicion confirmed that the Aiel and Tuatha’-an were the same, but now that I can grasp all the details it is just like… astoundingly good. There is so much to unpack but also the story is so compelling you hardly notice. I am SEATED.

Missing Wheel of Time baddddddd

I’ve seen “fish wives” used a few times too

Seeing someone use the term ‘pillow friend’ in the wild

“It was frightening when she thought she saw another man looking through his eyes, heard another man’s words come out of his mouth.”

Reminder that Rand is scary to those around him, or at the very least unsettling

I only just realized in Season 2, episode 5 Moiraine’s skirts are divided for riding, and it made me very happy. 😊

POLYSHIP WEEK 2024

→ Day 4: promises “I made a promise, too; I promised to keep the pair of you alive. If Moghedien shows up, she’ll go after you two. Now, here.” [Mat] pushed the medallion at her again. Elayne reached up to pull his hat off and slip the cord over his head. She actually tucked the foxhead into his shirt and patted it before handing him his hat. [...] “You wear it. After all, you can hardly keep your promise if Moghedien kills you.”

RJ weaves as RJ wills

I was wrong to skip the great hunt and the eye of the world so often when rereading wot as a teen, the context of the whole series makes some of the foreshadowing and early establishment of longer plots go crazy, RJ was out here weaving his tapestry.

Nynaeve and Moiraine by Helena Zeegers

[ladyalysoftheblueajah]

Except Lan wouldn’t go off and find Nynaeve, he thinks she’s better off without him. And without Moiraine, he thinks he’s better off in the Blight. She compelled him to save him.

More completely normal and Good advice from Lan that definitely won’t have affects on Rand
