heeyyyyyy…….. pretty please spare some cinnamon spice headcanons/facts tee hee hee hee hee

Oh do I have some tidbits for you..

- It's probably not obvious yet, but I hc Spice as transmasc! His top surgery scars double as markings on his dough :)

- Very attentive and nurturing to his people. He absolutely adores everyone and is always curious to know any changes in culture as the generations grow.

- Multitalented! He can make tapestry, sew, paint, farm, dance, ect. Literally give him any sort of hobby and he'll perfect it throughout the month.

- This isn't specifically about Spice, but he doesn’t have a military system (like the Spice Generals in canon). Instead, he has a more religious system with high priests and disciples in his kingdom. Tumeric Pigs and Elder Kulfis take the role of high priests while every Spice Tribe has one or more disciples.

That's all I have for now, but here's a little extra..

I genuinely believe that Charles and Edwin are soulmates, in the sense that fate, the universe and Destiny would all make sure these two meet. Specifically I believe that these two are meant to be a reincarnated soulmate pair, and that in every life before 1916, these two were fated to meet and love each other, in whatever capacity that meant.

When Edwin died and was dragged to Hell, that disrupted his reincarnation cycle, so the Charles from his time lived and died never meeting his soulmate. The Charles we know was technically born without a soulmate because Edwin never reincarnated, so it only makes sense that their souls met again the way they did. It was Destiny that these two would meet, and love each other again. They may be a generation off, but it was fate.

Just had the realization that if the cursed shackles force XIe Lian’s body to always return to the exact state it was in when they were placed,then that means his palm reading still looks the same as the highly blessed flower crown marital god.

Palm reading deals with looking at the creases and state of your hand to see what life you have lived and what activities you do frequently, and using that to figure out what your life will look like in the future. It is something heavily dependent on your hands ability to wear itself down.

Additionally, we know Jun Wu, pettiest bitch of the century, ensured that the shackles would never allow Xie Lian’s body to scar. We also know that he has some ability to alter people’s fates and lbr if every palm reader and fortune teller in Xianle managed to miss the actual apocalypse about to cut everyones lifeline short, then idk what to tell you.

If anyone were to accurately read Xie Lian’s palm, it should show the fate he had before everything went to hell, which is just another way the white clothed calamity managed to steal Xie Lian’s bodily autonomy, particularly his ability to have his body reflect his suffering

Okay wait I’m suddenly 100% bought in on Moiraine and Siuan being Birgitte-Gaidal Cain style soulmates, meaning that Siuan is right now in TAR waiting for Moiraine. The promises of “in this life or the next” and “I’ll find you/I’ll wait for you every time” are not just about the cyclical turning of the wheel, but come from the fact that Moiraine and Siuan literally do this over and over and in between they wait together in TAR. Siuan is in TAR, she knows who Moiraine is, and now she just has to wait for her to return to her. Siuan Sanche does wait for only one woman, after all!

That reconciles Rafe’s comments about us seeing Siuan again (and maybe even the angel emoji??) and his comment that you can already tell how they set up their endgame, without it being reduced to flashbacks and a brief epilogue moment which feels really trite and glib and not meeting the moment. He also calls them soulmates in that Q&A 👀

Plus we’ve already seen them in dreams together. Siuan clearly has a connection to the dream world. Even their ter’angreal hut was a world of their own creation that they visited at night. The roles that they play in the narrative are roles that we need over and over if we are to defeat the dark - they are the instigation, the inspiration. They don’t just show us a beautiful love story of dedication and sacrifice, but they are the very water that turns the wheel and thus a cornerstone of every age.

sorry this is a very silly ask but. asking as a fellow fan of both TLT and TMA: what entities do you think the lyctors would serve?? personally I’m a big fan of Extinction!John, Flesh!Mercy, and Stranger!Cytherea (the not-Sasha parallels are too strong to ignore lol)

Oh boy oh boy!!!

John - I am a huge fan of John as an avatar of the Extinction. There isn't any need to fudge a damn thing. He went through an ascension almost beat for beat identical to an Avatar's, and checks every box we ever saw for the Extinction's domain.

Augustine - Belongs to the Eye. He could never stop looking for the truth, examining every variable he knew and carving away at that niggling doubt, that inconsistency, until he had ferreted out the key to John's most closely kept secret. He trades in secrets with Mercymorn, using them as leverage. If he has secrets all his own we never discover them, but I'm still comfortable aligning Augustine with the Ceaseless Watcher.

Mercymorn - I agree that Mercymorn is the Flesh. Her anatomist's specialization and the power it gives her over bodies would be qualifier enough, but the Flesh also manifests as dysmorphia, the fear of being physically changed, reshaped, and shaped from viscera. I firmly believe that if tma had ever addressed reproductive horror, it would have fallen within the domain of the Flesh. When Mercy delivered the "sample" to Wake, that was in service of the Flesh. The dripping viscera mixed with invitro paraphernalia that creep through the Canaan bubble under Wake's influence are a consequence of Mercy's plan made manifest, and could have been plucked straight from that Fear's domain.

Gideon - We know less about Gideon the First, which makes it harder. Most of the applicable Fears—the Lonely, the Stranger, the Spiral—he is decidedly more a victim than an avatar, but we saw him vividly put the fear of prey in Harrow. Gideon the First serves the Hunt.

Cytherea - She's the Stranger, you're so right! She's not-Dulcinea, of course. A stranger replacing a beloved friend, and no one can tell the difference. The Stranger also covers taxidermy, or, in Cytherea's case, the Beguiling Corpse. And for a hat trick, the Stranger also encompasses performance as the art of lying, a deception that breaks down one's sense of self. Cytherea worked that art on Gideon, apparently just for fun, chipping away at her with pretty stories and sharp compliments until Gideon was ready to die as the perfect cavalier.

I don't know if you meant just God's Duplicious Sluts, the Horribly Old People, but since I'm warmed up:

Ianthe - She's a servant of the Web, The Spinner of Schemes, The Hidden Machination. Power and control, baby. We still don't know what her game is, or how much of what she's done was intentional vs. improvisational, but one thing we do know is that she covets having control over others. She's even described once as a spider (tucked inside a shoe).

Harrow - Deeply embedded in the Buried. When Harrowhark is not crushed by responsibility while literally living in a hole in the ground, she's drowning in salt water and debt.

Thank you for asking, this was a lot of fun!
