wheel takes podcast threw a little party this week when they found out what tylin's sole singular appearance in crossroads of twilight is, ya know, robby j's apology to us for subjecting mat to that storyline, so now I'm chewing my fingers off with anxiety over not knowing if the show is gonna do that whole mess or just cut it
#my brother was like 'this egwene storyline this season is GRIM!'#and I was like yeah it's the grimmest storyline in the book! oh wait no it is not. it is the SECOND grimmest in the books!#cuz i immediately remembered that mat in ebou dar will always take that prize#and he was like oh yikes#wheel of time spoilers#wheel of time book spoilers#wot book spoilers#wheel of time

#very curious to know you guys' thoughts!#wot#wot on prime#the wheel of time#mat cauthon#tuon paendrag#wot book spoilers#wot show spoilers#(potentially)#i'm going for 'yes instead of egeanin'#because a) i can't think of a strong reason to transport mat out of the waste plotline and into the tanchico one#unless it's to absorb ebou dar and have him cross paths with tuon#and b) if tuon is our main seanchan in the tanchico plotline then egeanin would become superfluous imo#i also think it'd make sense to get all the major characters introduced by the end of s3#so that they'll be ready to swing into the endgame no matter how many total seasons they end up getting#not to mention that tuon DESPERATELY needs to be introduced sooner than she was in the books#if she's to get any semblance of a satisfying and well-developed character arc

...............are these
...............are these the hills? The ones with oddly rectilinear shapes? That surrounded The Farm in Ebou Dar? You know, where they used The Bowl of the Winds?
downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, because
followed by
is such a funny sequence

Reading Crown of Swords rn and I gotta say I fucking hate Elayne
#for a number of reasons#but the inciting one for this post is when mat confides in her that he's being repeatedly assaulted and she MOCKS him#he literally said 'she's starved me' and she LAUGHED at him#i hate her i hate her i hate her#god i hate her#and this on top of all her other abuses to Mat on the trip to Ebou Dar#and so many other things#elayne would have to walk a mile barefoot on broken glass for me to forgive her

I was skimming the books for fic-research reasons and just had to be baffled all over again at how the Seanchan invasion gets treated CoT-onward. The Kin were the spine of the Wise Women of Ebou Dar, who are, like THE people who are respected by everyone in the city. They all had to try to flee the area because of the Seanchan and any who didn't successfully flee but were Kin (and thus could channel) would have been instantly enslaved by the Seanchan. And yet we have that fucking weirdness in Mat's (fucking weird overall) first chapter in A Memory of Light where the Ebou Dari people are all "lol, why would a brutal invasion bother us in the slightest; we're too super-casual for an invasion to bother us".
I mean, that's all tied into the logistics problems that plagued all things Seanchan-related in the later books (they have infinite soldiers and infinite food & supplies and generally don't have to abide by the economics & logistics that Rand's side is required to follow) but it just really stood out to me because I was reading about how respected the Wise Women are (even in places like the Rahad) -- but the Seanchan's coming would have completely gutted them as a society and that should have an impact on how the Ebou Dari feel about the Seanchan. And it just ties into my overall feeling that Jordan stopped treating the Seanchan realistically starting in CoT and then Sanderson continued the trend when he took over the writing of the books.
But, yeah, one of the big things that I hope for from the prime show is that the Seanchan get treated with narrative consistency and we don't get an abrupt 180 on how the narrative treats them at the two-thirds point. Because what the Ebou Dari should be feeling (and what they were feeling in Winter's Heart!) is a lot of fear and paranoia and the desire to rebel, because the Seanchan are Always Watching and will Randomly Steal and Enslave People for reasons that the non-Seanchan people are not going to understand!
I am really curious about how much Seanchan Presence we're going to have in s3, because s2 made some bold choices in where it went with the Seanchan storyline and I am intensely curious about what kind of follow-up we'll have in s3. I've said a lot in the past that Tuon needs to be introduced sooner than she was in the books (Jordan waited way too late to introduce her! He should also have introduced her while she was still in Seanchan, imo, so that we actually could have seen her interacting with the rest of the Imperial family so that we would have a baseline of Seanchan Imperial Behavior to potentially contrast her against later -- but Tuon feels like another case where Jordan valued the surprise of the wham! line over giving a lot of detail and background) and I would absolutely be a fan of her being introduced in s3.
#sanderson critical#jordan critical#for people's filters#wot#wheel of time#wot book spoilers#a memory of light#wot on prime#wot meta#my wot meta#i do think that sanderson bought into the seanchan propaganda in a way that jordan never did#but jordan set him up for that#by the way that tuon's scenes were written#because in cot & kod jordan is suddenly having mat empathize with the sul'dam (and thus tuon) MORE than the Aes Sedai#which i assume had a big impact on the way sanderson then approached the seanchan as a whole#tuon has major rose-colored glasses about the seanchan#and jordan doesn't narratively challenge her on that#so when we get to sanderson#tuon's rose-colored glasses become the reality

An interesting thing I'm kind of sad Robert Jordan didn't do is have Berelain, instead of going with Perrin and then having the nonsense that is the love triangle plotline with him and Faile, is have it be she goes with Mat to get Elayne/end up in the Ebou Dar plotline.
Berelain in particular involved in Ebou Dar would get interesting, both in the context of her interacting with Tyelin (both rulers of weak nations, but Berelain arguably in a much stronger position due to her connection to Rand versus Altara's isolation at large at that point). On top of that, if say, Berelain and Mat are involved does Tyelin still target Mat? Or does she leave be since Berelain is the ruler of another country? If she's kept there post-Seanchan attack (say she misses the Traveling ala Mat for some reason, such as having left to run an errand and mistimed things), her and Tuon interacting (both claiming ancestry from Hawkwing). To do this it would make most sense to make the love triangle plotline a matter of Berelain/Mat/Tuon rather than the canon situation, but that could get interesting.
Berelain is a city-state rule who is an ally of the Dragon Reborn and respected by him, who claims to be descended from Hawkwing, and makes use of an Aes Sedai advisor. Tuon is the heiress to a continent spanning empire (and eventual Empress) who is an enemy of Rand's, and owns a former Aes Sedai damane. If Mat's say, already in a relationship/getting somewhere with Berelain, but also has the prophesy with Tuon hanging over his head, how does that go? Or if RJ had decided on this sort of thing, would he have made the prophesy more ambiguous to make Mat be guessing which it's supposed to be about? Would it have still be the canon one and Mat's reluctant/unwilling to involve himself with Berelain as a result?
Also Mat has his own connection to Hawkwing due to being the initial Hornsounder and the way it feels at times like Hawkwing and a past incarnation of Mat's probably lead opposing armies at least some point. That connection is the one that Tuon picks up on rather than Mat's connection to Rand, which always amused me since Mat does arguably have a 'oh fuck' reaction to both questions but she misreads him on the Rand one.
(Honestly it's kind of impressive at no point during the traveling with the show arc did anyone slip up and allow Tuon to realize Mat and Rand do know each other)
It would have been super interesting to see how Tuon would have reacted to Berelain, and it's a genuine pity that in canon we don't get to see how she or the major Seanchan nobility react to her (yes she does interact with some Seanchan at one point but that's left sort of just with a comment and no further which I feel was a waste). Would they take offense and call her a liar? Or would they be more ambivalent/leery of doing that since it's not impossible? It's certainly unlikely, but not impossible (as is one can easily make the claim that there's no reason anyone in the Westlands should trust the Seanchan claims because it had been a thousand years and the reality is even if the Seanchan empire started out ruled by a member of Hawkwing's family, that specific family line could have died out). They may decide she's a liar since it's more politically valuable (if they agree she is, then it causes some issues for the Seanchan invasion justification) but there also is the possibility they wouldn't.

Nynaeve and Elayne dressed so well to bring apologies to Mat that Setalle and the girls at the inn thought they had come to seduce him and felt the need to protect him from them. The sad irony is that Nynaeve and Elayne are the last people in Ebou Dar from whom Mat needs protection.
