THE WHEEL OF TIME | Lanfear in 2x07

age gap discourse must've been INSANE during the age of legends. end post

Okay WoT Tumblr I think we’re comfortable enough with eachother at this point for me to share my Ta’veren boys playlists. For the councils perusal

Some are jokes and some are not lmao

fandom tumblr was another casualty of streaming services. we used to be on here posting about the episodes that were coming out weekly and posting gifs and writing insane shit about the tv shows we liked. now a new season of a show will drop and we’ll talk about it for a week. two weeks tops. and then that show will leave collectively conscious for 1+ year till the next season drops. there’s a reason succession sundays was a blast on here

we used to have real television

I need to do another s2 rewatch

The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

It hasn’t really ever occurred to me before how literal this quote kind of is. The series of course takes place in Third Age, and other events of the Third Age are memory - imperfect, distorted, with lots of lost detail, but mostly accurate. The Age before is the Age of Legends - everyone is heightened, twisted into awesome figures or primordial monsters, but a lot of the basic facts remain mostly true, recorded in ancient times. Then you get to the First Age, our Age. By the time of the books, things are totally distorted, the nuclear standoff between Russia and the US transformed into giants throwing spears of fire at each other, rocket ships transformed into fire eagles, centuries collapsed into nothing. It is fully the realm of mythology.

Memory to legend to myth, each in an age.

At the C2E2 Brandon Sanderson panel. He had a few things to say re WoT show. He mentions that he tried with Perrin in the show and that Rafe and co were willing to go with his idea to have Perrin injure Master Luhhan but the Amazon execs shot it down. Brandon basically says not to get mad at the writers and that the show has really good writers and are trying their best and that a lot of factors are at play (strongly hinting that the higher up execs are the problem)

been having a lot of thoughts about mazrim rand and logain

Reblog for more votes and opinions please

Since the first two seasons of The Wheel of Time made Liandrin a complex and popular character, Dain likeable and Masema hot, I fully expect that Season 3 is going to turn Gawyn and Elaida into fan favourites.

Your song is dying. You've betrayed your sisters. And you're sitting in the dark trying to justify yourself to a woman you just kidnapped. Was your price worth all this?

NYNAEVE AL'MEARA in The Wheel of Time Season 2

Boss can i go home early some shit is happening in my fandom and im a pretty active person in the community so my presence is needed

Lanfear + manipulating Rand

he captivated all left in his wake. (insp)

Verin: ok girls now tell the Whitecloak you’re sorry for trying to blow him up

Nynaeve: no I’m not sorry

Elayne: technically we don’t have to apologize because we didn’t actually try to blow him up, just all of the ground around him and his horse so technically it wasn’t him in danger so technically we didn’t even break the three oaths and legally speaking we did nothing wrong

Egwene: *visibly in the middle of a PTSD dissociative episode* haha sorry my bad
