Mazrim Taim, the M'Hael

[markantonys]

i remember seeing this post used with elaida being raised amyrlin by the sitters, but it is also very much taim being appointed head of the black tower by rand

Happy pride month but specifically to whatever the hell Logain and Taim have going on. Stay winning in your toxic situationship lads.

Rereading Lord of Chaos is SO funny when you read it knowing that RJ was writing Taim as Demandred at the time. Bashere thinks Taim looks wrong and he’s just like “oh I shaved.” Rand tells him “Taim at least you didn’t do anything as evil as Demandred, who murdered two whole cities.” Taim smirks the entire time he swears loyalty to Rand. The man’s vibes are rancid and I love it

Possible galaxy-brain thought: what if they introduce Mazrim Taim onscreen in S3 to lay the groundwork for the Black Tower in S4...and also tie him to Elaida's introduction and the Tower Coup plot. He was namechecked in S2 as a False Dragon; his existence and Logain's could be used by the Black Ajah to muddy the waters SIGNIFICANTLY on what Siuan and Moiraine are doing with Rand, making the decision to depose Siuan even more understandable from an outside perspective. (Elaida can easily be convinced post-Coup Rand is the real deal DR after all via Foretelling or other evidence).

Additionally...if they go full Taimandred...then he could be the Forsaken in disguise that has been referred to...and that would firmly centre the Tower Coup as a deliberate strategy of the Shadow but only once we know who he is (which presumably you'd save for post-Dumai's Wells for full OH SHIT potential). Yes he'd have to have replaced the real Taim, but AFAIK that's what happened in the books until the reality-switch in WH where Taimandred was no longer a thing.

Lews Therin anytime Rand meets with Mazrim Taim:

If everything these hands touch will be turned into ashes

Just discovered it from my drive. Completed around a year ago.

Fact: Galad is older than Logain and Taim

Older than Logain by a year, Taim by two, but what the fuck Galad

[moghedien]

wait is this the first mention of Taim?

[wot-tidbits]

No inevitable conflicts there!

[kaiartx]

been having a lot of thoughts about mazrim rand and logain

[markantonys]

rand: oh my god i can't believe taim is evil and has destroyed the black tower!

lews therin, who had kill bill sirens blaring on full blast in rand's head from the moment he laid eyes on taim to try and warn him:

[dragon-of-the-soutn]

Hot take but I love Mazrim Taim.

Is he obvious evil and plotting? Yes. Is he going to betray Rand? Absolutely!

But my god is he having a ball doing all these things and I can’t help but love him for it!

Just got to the end of TPOD and this man strolls into the actively on fire Sun Palace after just being menacingly in the background of the last book and a half and finds his boss and his bosses girlfriend in an absolute state in said palace basement and is just like: What’s this, some of my Ash’aman betrayed you?! What a coincidence! I never saw this coming. Don’t worry my Lord Dragon, I the man who doesn’t even bow to you, will totally sort this out don’t even worry about it!

And then Rand just doesn’t worry about it and dips with Min.

It’s insane and I need a book of Mazrim Taim’s shady Black Tower shenanigans ft. Logain ‘apparently his workplace worstie’ Ablar just being very petty with one another. Or kissing. I think either seems feasible and very funny.

Just learned that some fans thought that Taim was Demandred. But wasn't Taim around before Demandred got out of prison?
