Wetlanders call it "the Waste." It is the Three-Fold Land. A shaping stone to make us, a testing ground to prove our worth, and a punishment for the sin. What sin? Nobody remembers, it was so long ago.

it really was 100% on point forsaken looney tunes shenanigans for lanfear to just ride past where rand and moiraine were hiding and not realize it for miles. this is the exact level of unseriousness the forsaken operate at

i cannot overstate what a blessed dynamic rand's partners being besties with his besties before meeting him (or before knowing him well, since min did already meet him) is to me. i can totally picture reunions happening later in the series like

never in all my wildest dreams could i have ever imagined the cauthor reunion being THIS romantic oh my god seeing each other from across a crowd, gazing into each other's eyes, running to each other, rand cupping mat's face in both hands, mat stroking rand's head while making fun of his buzzcut, them clinging onto each other for literally 50 full seconds, I HAVE TO LIE DOWN!!!!

i sent this to @daughter-heir last night but while im waiting for her reply (no rush) i wanted to put it out there:

i love what they're doing with egwene's hair this seaaon. there's so much symbolism there.

beginning of the season: egwene's hair is down, out of the braid we saw her in all last season. she's moving on from the two rivers. she's destined for More than being an innkeeper's daughter and the future wisdom. she's embracing life at the white tower, even if its not exactly what she hoped for

2.06: she has braids again but there's three and they're pulled tight across her scalp - nothing like the easy, loose braid we associate her with. its a perversion of what egwene holds dear to her (just like so much of that episode). just as the seanchan try to strip her off her womanhood, so too do they strip of this symbol of her homeland. she's no longer wearing a two rivers braid, she's wearing seanchan braids. she's no longer a woman, she's a damane.

2.07: after being forced to put on a show for the seanchan, her slaver comes to egwene's cage and finds her braiding her hair in a loose two rivers style. egwene is rejecting the slavers' attempts to take away her womanhood. she's reconnecting to her past and her homeland, drawing strength and comfort from all the women she grew up. "to be a woman is to always alone and never alone." she's physically alone right now but through her braid she's standing with her fellow two rivers women. it's an act of confort and a reminder of her past. its such a tiny act of rebellion that renna doesn't even recognize it as rebellion. she's egwene and she's a woman from the two rivers and she will not be broken.
