thinking about how Hector was "man-killer" to the Greeks, but "horse-breaker" to the Trojans. how it takes tenderness and patience and devotion to get a wild horse to trust you, let alone let you ride it. how hector's life and relationships to others, even the gods, are defined by devotion, and how it wins him both honor and his own death. how hector thinks he can approach achilles like a spooked horse, but achilles is a dog and not only a dog, but a dog that has nothing left. how even the wildest horse has the desire for food and comfort, but hector has never met a horse that wants to die. anyways how's your day going

tumblr polls are fun bc sometimes I’ll see a poll and be like “I don’t want to vote in that” and scroll past it, but then I’ll scroll back up and begrudgingly pick one because I do want to see who’s winning

I am enjoying the fuck out of what the show is doing with the Aes Sedai's oath to only speak the truth.

Moiraine uses it as a tool to convince Rand to trust her, Liandrin uses it to get information out of Leane, Leane has to craft her replies to be neutral facts so she doesn't give anything away, except her doing so already does. And Liandrin's words about how the oaths say nothing about lying to themselves.

With Liandrin, I know that she can lie. I know that she's manipulating Nynaeve during their conversation by the arches, but I also know that Liandrin's love for her son is real!! Even with the awareness that she is going to betray Nynaeve, I know that the core of her conversation with Nynaeve is the truth and ouch it hurts. The truth is such an effective tool for developing her character.

They're managing to get across the constraints of being an Aes Sedai without the internal narration that the book has and I loooove it I love it so much.

me when the drums

my ability to focus could be described less as “laser-like” and more as “cat with a laser pointer”

wip for a family in my personal save :)

I’ve been running polls on Twitter for the “ship bracket fight”. Soon there will be a democratically voted on ship.

alright my friend says that bugs have a distinct smell and i cannot imagine she lives in a world where she can just smell bugs

new people coming into the wheel of time fandom after only watching the show are fun to watch because they’ll tag “#so this is probably important” on a post about a horse
