Annie: There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death; conjuring spirits from the past...and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they called them Fire Keepers. And in West Africa, they were called Griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities. But it also...attracts evil....

Rafe: We have to kill off Siuan because she was basically useless in the book after her stilling

Every Siuan fan: You fool. You uncomprehending baboon. Every book Siuan fan agrees that Siuan's story BEGINS after her stilling. Before the stilling, she's just a poor fisher girl who couldn't even read who rose to become the most powerful woman in the world (and who was, according to the author himself, one of the most competent Amyrlins to ever take the seat), which is inspiring by itself. After the stilling, after her power and wealth and influence and even her friends have been taken from her, she still chooses to get up and say "I'm still fighting the Dark One, though. With no gas in my tank and nothing left to give up, I'm still fighting the Dark One." AND SHE DOES. She's the literal epitome of "It was about all of us." you utterly media-illiterate troglodyte.

‪I think people often miss the point what Nyneave reading/watching her block is meant to be frustrating. It’s meant to irk you as the audience as it does for the character. Nyneave isn’t happy about the block if anything she’s supremely pissed about it. Obviously she’s a powerhouse which makes it more difficult to see because you know she can do more. She knows she can do more also! The arches also changed her there’s quite a bit of trauma there especially in the 3rd one she spent years there. That experience likely didn’t help. In addition to being a wilder Nynaeve prefers to have control over most things with is the opposite of how to wield saidar (the female half of the source). The way she breaks her specific block emphasises her growth as a person and as a channeller (no spoilers for those who haven’t read it)

S3 needs to spell out her block and trauma for those who are either fresh to the material or just straight up need it explained. S4 is more likely where the block is set to be broken. I hope this season they have her use her warder hand to hand that she learned previously as well as showing her finding comfort in healing others through non one power means.

A part of me is kinda annoyed that you can't go through the MelJay or Mel x Jayce tag without seeing something about Viktor. I like Viktor but I just want to see stuff with just those two.

Yall sister sage is just as narcissistic as Homelander she’s just smarter about it. She’s also leaning more on sociopathy than psychopathy.

I’m really sorry but I couldn’t give less of a fuck about the featherington baby race. 3b is just….yeah go ahead and rename the show featherington. Better yet they should’ve named the bloody thing whistledown from the start considering the fact that they revealed her in s1 at least then it wouldn’t be a total shit show.
