ok so i was genuinely unsure about how I felt about the way Lanfear was revealed in the moment, but there are three main things that are really selling it for me:

1: It immediately sets up the threat of going up against a Forsaken:

So far we haven't really gotten much of an indication from the show about what the Forsaken really are, who they are, and why they're any different that a regular darkfriend. Obviously there's still a ways to go in explaining it, but Lanfear provided an immediate visual explanation

Because for example, we've already seen one darkfriend innkeeper who had a thing for Rand (or pretended to) take a knife through the throat

We've even seen Rand stick around and linger by her body and its very clear that absolutely nothing happens.

We get a lingering shot on her bleeding out and she is very clearly actually dead in this moment. Its not even really a question.

But with Lanfear we kinda get the exact opposite of this moment. We see her take a knife to the throat and clearly go down, then there is no lingering by the characters.

The camera goes back to her and we see the saa very clearly moving in her eye, then she blinks and breaths in.

And by this being the opposite of Dana, I mean that with Dana there was no question that she was actually dead. With Lanfear, there is absolutely no question that she's still alive.

Dana was also a darkfriend, but this is very clearly showing non readers that Lanfear is something DIFFERENT. We're told she's a darkfriend of some kind, then we're seen that she actually apparently cannot die by normal means. This coming AFTER the reveal that she is definitely a channler of some kind, and if we now know she's a Forsaken, then we know that Moiraine clearly said the Forsaken are the most powerful channlers ever, more powerful than any Aes Sedai.

And now apparently they can't die.

2. Its foreshadowing.

Moiraine was able to take out Lanfear (if only temporarily) with a physical attack because Lanfear was so fixated on Rand.

The above is also a spoiler for the climax of a certain book.

I'm not gonna get into it, but its clearly like showing that there's a course of action and there is a playbook that works here.

3. NOW we have Lanfear

Before we had Selene. I'd argue there were even moments where we had Mierin, but the only time Lanfear has really come out before this was when she went into Rand's dream and threatened him in episode 3.

By this I mean that while Selene was always obviously an act Lanfear was putting on, it stopped us from really seeing how manipulative and obsessive Lanfear could be and was currently being. If we didn't know she was Lanfear (and non readers shouldn't) then there's no reason to realize the lengths to her manipulation. We still don't know that the man she was telling Rand about was Lews Therin. We still don't know that Lanfear even knew Lews Therin much less would want to rekindle any kind of lost romance with his reincarnation. Because even when Lanfear was being honest as Selene, she was keeping herself back. She wasn't latching onto Rand and telling him that he was hers. She was very clearly holding onto the memory of Lews Therin, but there has yet to be any clear indication that she 100% buys that Rand and Lews Therin are the same person rather than Rand just being his reincarnation.

So while Lanfear was definitely getting some joy out of sleeping with Lews Therin reborn, there is no real indication that that is what she wanted. She said she wants Lews Therin. She tells Rand she's more or less settling for him. Let's assume that was 100% honest for the moment (because I believe it mostly is to a point), I don't think that's the case after this episode. Because Mierin Eronaile suddenly got the one thing she'd always wanted:

If you watch the moments immediately before this scene and immediately after, there is a shift in how Lanfear is acting here.

Before she was very clearly putting on an act. She was playing up being afraid of Rand and didn't seem at all concerned about keeping him here. The most she does is ask him where he's going to go, and even that is said in a weird tone unless you know that she's probably going to use this information to keep tabs on him and report it/follow him herself.

But Rand does the one thing he absolutely shouldn't have done with Lanfear and told her that he loves her.

So now I think is the moment where Lanfear is willing to accept that Rand is Lews Therin. Because if Rand is Lews Therin, then Lews Therin just said that he loves her.

And her entire tone shifts here. You can see she's visibly shocked in the moment, and then smiles and flips the scene to her being afraid of him, to her reassuring him and telling him that he should have told her and telling him that he didn't do anything wrong and he was just acting in his nature. Before she was bringing up the inn and was clearly trying to make him feel bad. Now she's clearly trying to reassure him and keep him around. Absolutely manipulation but I think she didn't really need him to stay until he indicated that he loved her.

So what this means is that we now have Lanfear, who is established as being unkillable and one of the most powerful and oldest being in existence, NOW becoming obsessed with Rand al'Thor and thinking of him entirely as Lews Therin. And not only that, but now she's PISSED because he just left her and was taken away from her by Moiraine exactly when she finally had him back after thousands of years.

She finally got everything she's wanted and it was immediately taken away, and I think that's frankly terrifying, so yeah, I think I do like this reveal now actually.

My soul season ❤️ when I come alive. FOLLOW ME❤️

[sweetsweetperil]

Soft and sweet,

Pillows and tweed,

Silhouettes cascading.

Dancing around the soft skeleton she leads,

Down the aisle where you gaze upon me,

On display, and all shall see

Yet I stand for your eyes only

June

It’s June again, almost halfway through the year. You are thirteen again. Something has happened. Something bad. You are sitting alone in your room. Trying not to cry. The last of the sunlight reflects off the mirror and you let the tears fall. Something in you has changed. Good or bad? Big or small? You feel it deeply, echoing within you.

Are you still the same?

Do you want to be?

Abbadon

7 beasts went to the sea

1st locked up and spiteful

7 beasts thrown into the sea

Thirsty for blood and resentment

Abbadon, the beast of wrath

Spitefully she screams

7 beasts thrown into the sea

Chained at the bottom of the great dark sea

[morrigans-writing-desk]

Pine Trees collapse on the forest floor

Shooting stars fall to land at deaths door

Fingers break, never to write

And lies will fail to do what's right.

Trust in no one ("I'll trust you").

If a picture is worth a thousand words,

Will my cyphers truly be a memory?

HEY EVERYONE LISTEN UP

One of my good friends @shequotesherself wrote this really amazing poem about my tailless whip scorpion Solejma and the unrequited love I feel for her, it literally brought me to tears, and I really need y'all to read it:

"You are my sunshine who prefers the moon

Your home's a shrine, though you know not to whom

Your food's a gift that need not be repaid,

Though you wouldn't think to anyway

Each day my thoughts of you are writ in bold

Across my arms, my blood, my heart and soul

You see these words each time my hand comes close

And yet unversed, you cannot read my prose

You are my sunshine who prefers the moon

The major lift of my favorite tune

Mon raison d'être et ma chère chèrie

It's such a shame, I think, you cannot see

With your eight eyes or feel with your eight legs

How hard my heart which beats for you does beg

Not for a service or a word of thanks

But just for you to know how much I

Love and care and dream at night

For you, for you to be alright"

Words cannot describe how much I love this poem. It puts so many of my feelings around my little critter into words, in ways that I never could or would be able to. She's amazing❤️

@shequotesherself also has a Wattpad collection of her other poems that are also really, really, really good, and she's currently working on writing a book of poems so she would greatly appreciate all the amount of feedback she can get!

Here's the link to her wattpad

I genuinely implore you to go and read some of her other works like "Your Love Is Like Acid" or "To Whom It May Concern".

If you could reblog this to spread the word or even better, reblog some of her posts, I would be extremely grateful to you!

I promise you won't be disappointed!

Solemn Stump

[echoingalaxies]

Whump drabbles, 14/100: punishment.

"Regret it yet? That punch you threw, poor effort to escape.

Don’t you cry, it’s your own fault your wrists are bound with tape.

That table there, it’s cold, it’s cleaned, soon you’ll be lying there.

And a pack of brand new tools, you’ll feel them all, I swear.

Look at this, such a shiny blade, would love to cause you pain,

I’ll pierce your skin, I’ll carve your flesh, I’ll slash your little veins.

Don’t worry, love, you’ll make it through, I have no reason to kill.

Wouldn’t want to lose my favorite toy — breathe deep, enjoy; I will."

[r3n0-5]

If I kill you right now

 You’ll be no one else’s

 But mine, forever

 As I take your life

 I’ll also take mine

 And we will be bonded forever

 To eternity

 Doomed, as we were when we were alive

 ‘Cause our love was strong enough

 To be that destructive

 A force so powerful

 That didn’t let me think clearly

 And I only realized

 When I smelled the blood that was over your lips

 When I kissed you

 How wrong I was

 And when your breath stopped

 All I wanted was to be gone too

 With your beauty that was being consumed slowly

 By the worms of my own twisted desires
