Completely off topic but Twitter ppl are complaining about Vassago being 50yo canonically?
This guy:
And, barring the fact that I’ve heard him speak via a preview and he literally sounds like a 15yo who just hit puberty, why is this upsetting???
Stolas is supposed to be ancient in his original lore — he fought in the battle against Heaven in the actual biblical storyline, but this was retconned to make Stolitz less problematic (Oh My Fucking GOD) into being just a 30 something depressed twink — so why shouldn’t the pantheon of royal birds be older?
It’s like these fans are allergic to anything interesting or outside of the norm in what they consume I swear.
Last name, Dunlap, that gets revealed in season 3, suspiciously similar to Dunlop, as in Dunlop tyres?
are they trying to tell us that she's for the streets? that she'll ultimately hit the road, jack? or are they trying to remind us that by her own admission in season 2, she's a terrible driver, when Sydney once worked as a professional driver for UPS?
I'm sorry if anyone else has spoken about this already, and if so, please link, but what could it all possibly mean?
[ID: gifs from the 11th episode of the series "Love Between Fairy and Devil." Dongfang Qingcang is in Orchid's body and Shangque is pointing at him in surprise. Dongfang Qingcang says, "I'm going to make out with the Moon Supreme now. Are you going to watch from there?" /end ID]
Here's a v quick vague rushed half assed TWSB propaganda post
TWSB is a romance novel isekai subversion story. You know, the escapist genre that there r 2353533535 kr webtoons/novels for... i got reincarnated in my fav romance novel as the villainess yadayada THAT genre. but a twist on it!!!
TWSB is for fujoshi/fudanshi/fujin who would rather ship the 2 male love interests in a romance than have a love triangle with the female lead... TWSB is also for poly/throuple/trio enjoyers (whether platonic or not ur choice). And old women yuri enjoyers. And people who enjoy novel isekai subversions like orv and surviving romance (and SVSS? i havent read but ive heard comparisons)... /ppl who think novel isekai premises Could be interesting but find so many of them boring cliche or wasted potential... and people who like fun worldbuilding... or ppl who r interested in the premise "typical shoujo romance novel plot gets derailed and ends up accidentally becoming a non-romance action fantasy which is also highkey extremely gay"..... *dangling a chocolate croissant in front of u* ooooh u want to read twsb so bad wooooo is it worki
(EDIT: oh to be clear im recommending the novel btw!! webtoon is cute but the novel is where u get the full experience 🛐 idc which one u start w but pls read the novel... hehe)
the music in WOT is never random. even if it's just very soft background music, it's relevant to the scene. practically every time there's music playing while egwene is onscreen during s2, the tune is egwene's theme, rearranged and reinstrumentated in dozens of different ways to match the tone of the particular scene. mat has quick little snippets of his theme tune play during various scenes of his, often mixed with the old blood theme from s1, and it finally blares out in full glory for the first time during the horn of valere scene, to parallel how mat is truly finding himself for the first time. even secondary characters like liandrin, siuan, and aviendha have their own dedicated theme tunes that play during their scenes and are never repurposed as background music in other characters' scenes. and all the themes have lyrics in the old tongue that suit the character or concept the theme is about! in conclusion, lorne balfe is truly doing the Most, and i'm so grateful he's the composer for WOT and i hope he'll return for every season the show goes for.
