#i love lanfear 🥹

[lrdvyke]

can you not distinguish truth from fiction? or were you never taught the difference?

He laughs. There is no mirth to the sound, nor a subtle hint of sadness therein. Instead, there is nothing to it. A sound as if that is all that is needed in answering the question posed to him. He lives, so he suspects, upon this earth and what has been fiction, now is nothing but the truth. While truths, ones he has slept so calmly with, with nary a thought of them being untrue, have suddenly become just so. Vyke ekes out the sound, a wide-eye sort of stare into what he believes to be the horizon past his wits, and it ends with a cringe that flicks over pallid features until the wind pushes it away.

❛ You ask such to be cruel, do you not? ❜ Lanfear, Daughter of the Night, a heavy name that whispers across eons and ages. Vyke knows of her, in a sense as does everyone even if only in nightmares or stories to tell the shadows at night. He has not lost his grip yet. His mind is still his own, but sometimes he wonders, like now, with a specter come real before him asking if he knows truth from fiction as if it were easy. He grits his teeth, feels the taint of power within—calling him real, but knowing he is false. It rings hollow.

Crooning whispers beg him to continue on, towards the blight and its own creeping darkness where no stars pass through. Darkfriend is but a name like any other, one need not fear the coming of what can solve, what can bring forth what no other could. There is only so much one could see and know within the closed borders of Shara's wilds. Coming south has been much akin to dragging him out into the light, igniting comforts ablaze.

❛ I do not think it matters anymore. Only that it is, and it is not, ❜ he says at last, looking over to the woman framed in dark hair, his own milk-pale eyes a semblance of the freckles that dot the night shroud. ❛ Why do you care so? ❜

what was meant to be liveblog

lotta yelling and caps in this one. consider yourself warned

- alright let’s see how well i can take notes while probably also geeking tf out

- the jolt of fear when I read “3000 years ago” that we were abt to see the eotw prologue oh my god

- WAIT UH OH

- this is so insane

- CINEMATIC INTRODUCTION JUMPSCARE FUCK YES

- dain’s armor 😍

- dain in silver and geofram in matching gold,,, father son armor set

- hello beach waygate from all of the promos <3

- i love how explicitly lanfear reveals layers of her Schemes to ishamael. like obviously this is a visual medium so it’s kind of necessary, but natasha o’keefe delivers it in such a delicious teasing way

- OH SO WE’RE GOING FULL FANTASY CATHOLIC CULT HUH. like what are the little holy water swingy things called. i can’t believe the whitecloaks just have these things.

- watching the whitecloaks and seanchan kill each other with unbridled glee and a bowl of popcorn

- NOOOO NOT CHARACTERS WITH PERSONAL AND CULTURAL RELATIONSHIPS TO THEIR HAIR GETTING IT CHOPPED OFF AS A PUNISHMENT THAT’S THE TROPE I’M SENSITIVE ABOUT

- “I know who kills [rand], and what he uses to do it”. I mean yeah but like. you don’t have to rub it in

- HM. DIDN’T LIKE THAT TRANSITION

- angry nynaeve. ANGRY NYNAEVE.

- “i’m not gonna touch it :)” sigh. this is the face of a man who is probably going to touch it

- moiraine and lan re-bonding forehead touch event leaves 8 dead 29 injured

- oh boy it’s Ingtar Reveal Time methinks??

- turak posturing himself to get into a Proper Blademaster Duel and rand just immediately killing the entire squad with saidin bullets. THAT’s how you fucking deal w the seanchan baby

- the tension of egwene being forced to channel to kill but also knowing that she’s doing it against the whitecloaks who tortured her is so thick i could cut it with a knife. ooouuughh

- suroth’s fucking azula lookin ass

- mat baby boy you can do it. i believe in you buddy

- ARE YOU MAKING A FUCKING SPEAR

- MATRIM CAUTHON I LOVE YOU SO MUCH IT HURTS

- haha holy shit. holy shit. they’re gonna do the Sul’dam Can Channel reveal with egwene and renna.

- “Pick up your weapons! Fight with us! Send these slavers back where they came from!” Heartbreaking; The Worst Man You Know Just Made A Good Point

- mat perrin reunion 🥹

- KICK HER FUCKING ASS EGWENE

- “you abandoned [egwene]. you made her a killer.” oh fuck OFF man c’mon. please please do not let this be the jumpstart for rand’s Weird About Women spiral please

- THE HORN OF BLOODY VALERE BABY

- I like that it looks so goofy and futuristic. it’s even got a mysterious little shimmer effect. I of course love the aesthetic of it being a funny little French horn as much as the next books fan, but lbr this is much more the speed of the age of legends ppl

- oh god. oh god i did get so caught up in the plot that i forgot the reason hopper spends most of this series in tel’aran’rhiod.

- hopper’s last sending being him soaring into the sky :,(

- kill geofram bornhald. kill geofram bornhald. kill geofram bornhald.

- YEAHHHH

- CMON BABY BLOW THE HORN

- THE GRAVE! IS NO BAR!! TO MY CALL!!!!

- “I… I remember.”

- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

- ohhh man the SCORE. the fact that it sounds kinda like a “regular” fantasy score is so fun

- UNO IS FUCKING HERE

- birgitte!! hi!!!!!!!!

- DOVIE’ANDI SE TOVYA SAGAIN

- HOLY FUCKING SHIT

- I would like to submit to the record. for posterity’s sake. that the above notes for this scene were written only after i rewatched it for the third time. because the first two times I watched it I was literally in tears almost the entire time. like as soon as i started to see the heroes of the horn materializing behind him I was gone. just pointing at the screen sobbing “that’s my fucking boy!”

- “I’m not sure I’ll be able to channel when I get there.” hey so why are we not letting nynaeve channel at all now!! how is she not furious about at least some aspect of the situation she is currently in??? i’m not even the biggest nynaeve stan but this one is even pissing me off

- egwene holding her shield alone against ishamael ohhhh my god

- well at least we still get the “rand meets elayne while she’s patching him up” meetcute or whatever

- the gang’s all here :)

- hm the big fiery dragon seems a little goofy. not sure what exactly i’m feeling about it

- YOU. MOGHEDIEN.

- the show shares my moggy pronunciation

- moghedien looks like a teen lesbian. I mean this in a tone of utmost praise. look at those crazy bangs and long dark skirt and huge chunky boots that still only take her up to Lanfear Tits Height

- “Light help you, rand al’thor.” lanfear seems aware of this but she’s literally gonna need that luck as much as he does if she’s gonna survive the average Daily Forsaken Squabbles without killing someone

[oddly-here]

The Wheel of Time S2 E7 Daes Dae'Mar

Ahh young Siuan and Moiraine ... dreaming of being fishwives ... 🥹🥹🥹 but then also 🥺💔

😭😭😭 they should be togetherrrr

Lan is pretty cool too

The Daughter-Heir of Andor is a bit neat as a character but I guess to be fair ideally she should have been well educated and trained in statecraft and other handy things in preparation for being a capable leader - all signs this is totally and utterly a fantasy 😆

I am actually quite amused that the Seanchan are basically brutal US (by accent) evangelical imperialists

Verin and her browns being like the geek/nerd secret service is pretty neat actually 😄

(Platonic) mum and dad are fighting 😢

Yeaaaaaaah Egweeneeeee go boooom 🌪️

What in the ... survivor's penitence?

Mum and mum are fighting 😭

Oh what is Liandrin up to with the future King ... ah.

My goodness give me a warning when you put her in those laced ... boots 😳

Lanfear's powers are kind of neat

Sul'dam Renna taking care of Egwene - so creepy. Oh yeah girl, haha, still got that fire. Love the delivery of that line.

Yay (platonic) mum and dad are on a quest together again

YAYYY SHE'S WHOLE AGAIN

Nooo mum and mum 😭😭😭

That really is a very cool knife cloud though

Noooo mum and mum nooo 😭😭😭 they should be togetherrrr
