I still comment on old fics because even if the fandom has been dead for 13 years, I will leave flowers on its grave

some random fuck: rj is rolling in his grave at this adaptation!

rj's ghost, watching Rand tied up in front of Lanfear, who is in full dominatrix gear: no this is exactly what I wanted actually

You roll up to the Wizard Battle and your opponent takes out his spellbook but it’s just one of these

“your life isn’t going to be what you thought”

it was meant to be a quick study but ended up as a whole religious painting (and I was so right for it xD)

Not sure if this has already been posted, but one of the costume designers for the show shared close ups of Moiraine's finale outfit. And I love it so much.

I will say this for Robert Jordan - he had some extremely weird ideas about gender, but he also created a tonne of three dimensional female characters with their own complex internal lives.

I’ve seen authors with much better starting points do a lot worse.

Moiraine laughed and hugged Siuan. She could not help it. She truly had come home. They had come home.

Honestly very funny to me every time a wheel of time character just. Stops adding their own narration for a stretch of the books. They’ve got other stuff to do offscreen, or they’re unconscious for a whole book, or whatever. Probably best executed in book 3 when everyone is simultaneously and independent of each other trying to do a heist on the same un-heistable fortress, and meanwhile Rand spends almost the entire section of the book offscreen too busy to add his own narration, speedrunning the break-in in the background while everyone is Spider-Man meme pointing at each other on the rooftops of Tear. The wheel of time is a comedy* you see.

My cats have this meow that means "please come with me to fix this" after which they'll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or 'empty') food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the 'problem', they look back at me, clear message.

What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my 'power.' I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. "Please fix this" they say. "Please get rid of the wet"

"Silly kitty," I say, "I can't control the rain." I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.
