#Wot book Spoilers

Thinking about women and trauma in the Wheel of Time; about Egwene made a damane and a puppet Amyrlin, never stopping after and by the end of everything feeling like she is drowning; about Siuan who gets overthrown, tortured and stilled, and understands that if she stops and reflects for one second she will die; about Moiraine who accepts her end is the better outcome and who comes out of lifetimes of torture still willing to give more; about Nynaeve who is terrified all the time, and whose anger and power will still not be enough to protect the people she loves; about Faile, Alliandre and Morgase captured and enslaved, who meet after their release in the night to mourn the Shaido who showed kindness to them for the promise of affection; about the Aes Sedai who, generations after generations, go through the Arches and make young novices go through the Arches, repeating a cycle of trauma as a bonding ceremony; about Morgase, Meidani, Teslyn, Setalle, Vandene, Daigian, Amathera and other women who had to carry their pain and fear to the end of the Age because they had to deal with the world for as long as they could

me throughout that one TFOH chapter when mat makes a big scene of bidding farewell to rand and lingers for a moment waxing poetic in his narration about the feeling of rand's hand in his and the symbolism of his calluses and heron brands and then rand stands there yearningly looking at the tent flaps for a while after mat's left before turning away and ordering asmodean to play the saddest song he knows

Moiraine laughed and hugged Siuan. She could not help it. She truly had come home. They had come home.

The thing about Wheel of Time is everyone in it is in an epic fantasy except the Forsaken, who are all in a workplace sitcom where everyone hates each other.

[bluenoisen]

currently reading through the Wheel of Time (and loving it) and this dynamic in The Shadow Rising is so funny to me, Rand get HELP!!!

[ofthebrownajah]

I never even thought of this. Ishy probably woke all the Forsaken up and they were all naked and was like "ok here's what I have in my wardrobe. Take your pick." Graendal was not pleased about this

Forever, forever weeping for Egwene al'Vere, the girl who wanted only to learn. Forever weeping for Egwene al'Vere, the girl who snarled at every limitation and ground them beneath her heel. Forever weeping for Egwene al'Vere, the girl selected because they thought she'd be easy to control. Forever weeping for Egwene al'Vere, the woman none of them expected her to be. Weeping for Egwene al'Vere, Watcher of the Seals, the Flame of Tar Valon, the Amyrlin Seat---who held the Pattern itself together with her bare, dying hands. Tai'shar Manetheren, tai'shar Aes Sedai.

I had to draw a whole comic to exorcise the ghost haunting me after reading this passage. Beware spoilers for Fires of Heaven, chapter 15

[toastandjamie]

You know what, fuck this *takes away all of Mat’s memories*

[romans-art]

Seonid placed her fingers beneath Alliandre's chin and tilted her head up with a touch more akin to a suggestion. Alliandre complied without a trace of resistance. In the glossiness of dim candlelight with night fallen through the windows behind her, Seonid was shadowed and gold-wreathed, all gilded at the edges.  (x)

Wit really saw two traumatized kids trying to change the world and said, I can and will hold them softly, and then did!

Seriously loving these interactions between Wit and Shallan and Kaladin at the beginning of Wind and Truth.

He’s the Fatherly support that both of them needed and never had.

He’s so soft with Shallan. He calls her Brilliant and tells her that he’s Proud of Her.

He tells Kal stories, and teases him in just the right way. He reminds him that he’s human too and he can and should still enjoy life.

I just love seeing this side of their relationship sooo much!!

"Wiping the blood from her mouth, Moiraine crawled out from beneath the tail of the wagon and rose unsteadily to her feet, the sound of a man's laughter in her ears."

— The Fires of Heaven, Robert Jordan

Moiraine and whump go well together, Robert Jordan said so

[pien-art]

Remember how at the end of The Dragon Reborn, Ishamael wrapped Moiraine in black lightning and she screamed and Ishy hurled her across the room into a column where she lay unconscious for the whole duration of the book's final confrontation and then that was just never mentioned again and she was completely fine ?? Not on my watch 🤨

Shooting star, as it turned out, never to return once you left our sky.
