sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

RRRAAHHGHJDHKFLA THANK YOU

their relationship started out... a little more than mildly toxic, redd being chaotic evil and almost constantly dragging at least ash into shenanigans- which began rubbing off on ash, enabling and changing him to be more and more evil (eventually, far in the future, that leads into to ash's search for godhood- which... was not a good thing), and when owen joined the party, it effected owen as well. but owen got dragged into less shenanigans, he just had more moral dilemma. eventually though, red began trying to better himself; what sparked it being the realization that now, instead of him dragging ash into situations, ash was dragging him into situations. and then, know, ash's whole path to godhood thing (which was a whole lot of 'sacrifice', and not particularly of other people. if you understand.), plus owen got drafted to fight for his home country (he technically didnt have proper citizenship in the country the three were staying in), and redd had some general personal reflections, too. being sort of forcefully distanced from the two others, redd worked on himself, trying to be a better person- a better partner. shifting from chaotic evil to chaotic neutral-chaotic lawful. after ash gets back from his whole godhood thing, he has a recovery period in which he also works on himself :thumbsup: Owen is more focused on surviving, especially because he... kinda betrays his country at some point, but trust Owen in present day is also working on his issues. they're a mess but they're each other's messes. they are still toxic, and id also say tragic, yaoi though, example being redd making owen effectively immortal (as in, unable to die of old age, still able to die of injury) without owen's knowledge nor permission solely for redd's (and ash's) own benefits and much to owen's confusion and existential dread. redd and ash met while ash was in collage! ash was studying computer programming! originally, redd and ash got together just as a couple- their relationship going from good friends/roommates to the two dating! they invited owen to the relationship during ash's last year at his collage ^^ they originally found owen at local garden looking at bugs (owen has a degree in entomology, study of insects), and they've been (relatively, technically) together since!

THEY ARE MARRIED AS OF PRESENT!! they got married some time after redd and owen found a way to get continually out of and back into the maze and they met back up with ash :33 (during the maze they'd only had long-distance contact with him- imean at one point owen gets to be there in person with him, but its only briefly) :33 they got engaged before redd and owen got sent to the maze, and had the wedding sometime after redd and owen got out!

The despair of finding out that this is just all the system and how it's so out of anyone's control that it feels like the supernatural like a god that does not care and how it's almost indistinguishable from one too... Nitw really found me again at the best worst time of my life

and look it’s not that sanderson did anything wrong by introducing new character conflicts in the last three books because that *is* how you keep readers interested but 1. I don’t care about these conflicts 2. they overwrite and ignore character conflicts that rj *did* introduce 3. you can’t just introduce any sort of character conflict you want and walk away pretending it makes sense. I can see bullshit coming from very far away and I can recognise very generic struggles being framed as an important character point even when it isn’t 4. they hurt character development and are clearly skewed in favour of making the male characters look better etc.

case in point:

rand didn’t have an arc about learning to love and accepting his role as a hero (rather rj sympathised with him being put in the position) so the dragonmount epiphany rings hollow because it’s not the culmination of rand’s struggles in 11 books finding a resolution, it’s rand’s struggle from 1 book, a new struggle introduce by sanderson (TGS), finding a resolution (and in a very unsatisfying way that doesn’t actually tackle his mental health or the traumatic position of a hero).

rand is framed as a conquering ruler who should be worshipped because he’s a forcing bringing safety and the literal narrative warps around him post-dragonmount to present him as a figure who should have all of his whims met. the very natural world starts bowing to his will. definitely not a weird thing to introduce in a series discussing imperialism + big L especially for a series where rj eviscerates seanchan, cults and the children of the light for their saviorist attitudes.

egwene didn’t have to be beaten down and I-told-you-so-d by gawyn into learning to share responsibilities. gawyn had no place interfering in aes sedai matters, I’m sorry. it continues the trend of various men/asha’man offering elaborate critiques of aes sedai having exactly accomplished zero things themselves - including perrin, androl, rand, mat.

he walked back on character development introduced in *his own* instalments to end the series on a weirdly hostile note for elayne and galad. he also wrote out morgase and made more space for his blorbos and gave them narrative space that even some of the protagonists were never afforded.

making cadsuane amyrlin was his choice. he didn’t get the basic theme of the white tower needing reform! egwene is a survivor above all else. she would not fucking commit suicide, it’s not in-character for her to pick suicide over being burned out. also ‘healing’ the pattern enters ‘breaking worldbuilding rules’ territory and I hate the flame of tar valon weave. it has weird implications attached to it being capable of healing any sort of damage when the white tower is clearly discussed to be just as susceptible to corruption as any other institution.

perrin breaking basic TAR rules to fight in book 14 after training to be good at it in book 13 is definitely like. good writing, sure.

nynaeve and moiraine are very noticeably characterised to be mother figures/caring figures. it’s very uncomfortable! moiraine also saying that she would give up channeling for thom is very infuriating and not in character for her.

not to be weird about a romance I hate in the first place but even in the rj books moiraine/thom was about daes dae’maring, not thom acting as a warder. amol!thom is annoying. his monologue about how to describe a battle is one of the worst, most horrific pieces of writing I’ve ever read. besides mat’s boot monologue.
