Today is coelacanth day!

Something I love about how Moiraine is written in the show is she's so... Unambiguously a Damodred. Like, she's gay and neurodivergent and traumatized and driven by a strong sense of duty, but also, over and over again, we see her manipulate when it would be more sustainable to convince, threaten when it would be more effective to just ask politely, keep secrets for no reason, and sacrifice opportunities in order to establish power in a situation or relationship where she doesn't currently need power and doesn't have any particular future use in mind for it. That she does this more when she's pressed for time, when she's tired, when she's upset, suggests that these behaviors are nearly reflex. That's what she reaches for when she's not thinking about it. Come to think of it, if Siuan knows that, it may be what saves their relationship, or at least renders it salvageable. Moiraine wouldn't do all that "If you ever loved me" crap if she were actually working from some kind of nefarious master plan, wouldn't do it if she weren't frightened and out of her depth.

I was reading the first chapter of KoD (#11) which is from Siuan's POV and then it mentioned her putting salt in Gareth Bryne's tea and hitting him over the head with his own boots- and that chapter is just so achingly Siuan that it actually HURTS 😭 I love her so so much

obsessed with lan meeting moiraine for the first time and, despite everything pointing to her telling the truth that she really is aes sedai, he’s like “actually she’s too strange and little and incredibly infuriating, there’s no way she’s an aes sedai.” and yet

New thoughts re Egwene’s Accepted test. Ok so in the books there was the resonance with the dream ter’angreal, suggesting the rings are somehow adjacent to Tel��aran’rhiod. We also have not had any contextual clues to Egwene’s Dreaming in show like we had in book to this point, yet it seems like she must get to the Waste by the end of this season. Further, I’ve argued before the current book scenarios are redundant, so they would need new ones in the theme of show Nynaeve’s, or, possibly, not having them. So, what if it’s the Accepted test that demonstrates Egwene’s Dreaming abilities? Like, she causes the resonance or something. Siuan is administering the test due to fears of the Black Ajah so she recognizes the signs. I’m STILL hung up on Siuan dreaming about the Eye in 1x06 so I want that to lead to something.

Fun fact about me: I have a shrimp tank! It started out as a Wheel of Time tank. I got different colored shrimp for the Ajahs. I started with blue, red, and orange cause they didn’t have yellow or green. I also have two white catfish to represent Moiraine and Siuan as novices. Two loches to represent Moiraine and Lan then have an orange guppy for Rand.

I had two pea puffers (micro puffer fish) but one ate too many shrimp until it died and its mate didn’t last much longer.

I mean surely we all grew up feeling like there was a wrongness inherently deep inside us that will endure for the rest of our lives

Rand's audience with Morgase is intense.

They ask him why he doesn't look like his fellow villagers. "Because my mother was an outlander." LITTLE DOES ANYONE KNOW that they are speaking with the child of Tigraine and Janduin, the Dragon Reborn, the man who will reseal the Dark One in his prison and reweave the fraying pattern. (Not to mention future daddy of Morgase's grandchildren.) But in this moment, he is a random sheepherder who fell into the palace garden and keeps committing social faux pas like bowing the same way as the guards, oggling the room and its inhabitants, and using the wrong titles for everyone. I love everything about this scene so much. How Elaida clocks him as important, but doesn't have any clue why. How Gareth Bryne says the sword belongs with him. How frequently Tallanvor glares. How Elayne pulls every political card in her deck. How Gawyn is basically an observer. How Morgase lets him go because she refuses to stoop to the paranoia being spread by the Whitecloaks. THE WHOLE THING IS DELICIOUS I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Thank you, Robert Jordan, for this absolute masterpiece.
