Let's (re)Read The Great Hunt! Chapter 48: First Claiming
Tumblr media
Today has not been good so let me summarize:
This post contains lots of spoilers.
Specifically the spoilers are for Wheel of Time.
ALL OF IT
Don't read if you don't want those.
We have the Dragon's Fang symbol because Rand has been marked as the Dragon in a variety of ways.
And there was something drawing her on, as surely as if she had a string tied to her.
Poor Min is already being strangled by the red strings of fate.
She did not blame Bayle Domon for not waiting longer, not after what she had seen; she thought it a wonder he had remained so long.
Makes me wonder why we looked in to see him still waiting resolutely when we could have looked in to see him finally decide to give up.
Silver glittered as the figure raised a bow; a streak of silver lanced to the boxy ship, a gleaming line connecting bow and ship. With a roar she could hear even at that distance, fire engulfed the foretower anew, and sailors rushed about the deck.
Birgitte is a badass. I really don't have anything else to say about it. She's just that cool.
She pried his hand open, and winced when the hilt stuck to his palm. She tossed it aside with a grimace. The heron on the hilt had branded itself into his hand.
It's funny that the prophecy mentions the Dragons and the Herons as twice markings but not the double unhealing wounds on his side. It can't be that Fain sidestepped fate there - otherwise Rand would not have been able to cleanse saidin on schedule - so one wonders what the deal is. Just the lack of a cool animal?
What shook her was the feel of his flesh. It had a touch of ice in it; he made the air seem warm.
Medically speaking that's pretty terrible.
With a put-upon sigh, she wriggled under the covers beside him.
This really is how you treat hypothermia, though technically speaking you're supposed to remove as much clothing as possible first to encourage thermal exchange. It's basically the only time you can remove an unconscious person's clothing and get into bed with them without being a bad person so I'm disappointed that Min's not taking full advantage of the situation.
Light, why did the Pattern have to catch me up with you? Why couldn’t I have something safe and simple, like being shipwrecked with no food and a dozen hungry Aielmen?
That's pretty racist, Min. And you probably would have been as safe as a starving person could be; I expect the Aiel would find it bad form to cannibalize someone.
“I—I felt him pulling at me. Needing me. Elayne felt it, too. I thought it must be something to do with—with what he is, but Nynaeve didn’t feel anything.”
Odd that Egwene is being tangled up in the red string of fate too. Funnier still that the Wheel doesn't point the healer at Rand, though perhaps she wouldn't have been able to stay angry at the sight of him.
Egwene looked at her for what seemed a long time. Not at Rand, not at all, only at her.
Egwene is clearly struggling between the understandable urge to scream "He'll go mad and kill you!" at Min to punish her petty comments and the desire to not think about Rand that way. Also she's fucking exhausted and just spent some time a slave, so Min's really not being cool here.
Light, I don’t even know if I am the one you’ll choose. I don’t know if I want you to choose me. Or will you try to dandle all three of us on your knee?
Not gonna lie but with how this particular polycule plays out I honestly wouldn't have minded if Rand had just tried to be a player with each gal in turn (maybe circling back to Elayne towards the end). Just for Min's sake, since she's the one who doesn't really fit in the rest at all and would probably prefer to be a FWB followed by being out the door.
Ishamael thinks he controls events, but I do.
Bold claim from somebody who...
*checks notes*
...fucked around with Rand on one occasion and had virtually no influence over him. Lanfear is incredibly high on her own supply.
“Lews Therin was and is mine, girl. Tend him well for me until I come for him.” And she was gone.
Least realistic part of this. Lanfear would have insta-gibbed Min for the sin of touching her man.
The legion was dead, Lord Captain Geofram Bornhald was dead, and there was only one explanation for that; Darkfriends had betrayed them, Darkfriends like that Perrin of the Two Rivers.
It's incredible how close to right Byar is while still being utterly wrong on all counts. Anyway, this is another odd aside in that we pretty much already knew that he was going to go tell the Whitecloaks that Perrin was responsible. Ah well.
Next time: Double feature! Chapters 49 and 50!

Back when I'd read eleven WoT books and wasn't really planning on reading the rest because LONG and TIME CONSUMING, I had an idea for an online persona who'd be a teacher. It was a daydream and I never got around to it, but I decided to name her Lini.
Then, later, I made an OC for another fandom and decided to reuse the idea. So I have a character named Lini.
Cue deciding to re-read the Wheel of Time and then, ages later, running into Lini and going: ah. yes. her. this is why I normally don't name people after fictional characters.
BONUS: the time I was trying to name yet another OC and decided Nynaeve and Elayne were both pretty, flora-sounding names for a flora-person, but of course I couldn't just name her Nynaeve or Elayne.
So I named her "Nynaeve" but backwards. That turned out to be "Eveanin," so imagine my shock when, lo and behold, there is a character named Egeanin.
Not to mention the many, many, many names that are just Too similar to those of my main hyperfixation.
Birgitte Trahelion.
There's a guy named HEARNE for crying out loud
Mazrim Taimi
oh and Logain. can't forget Logain. tbf Logan's a pretty common name so that's cheating but still.

Propaganda
Sharon Tate (Valley of the Dolls)— She quickly became a Hollywood "rising star" and sex symbol in her unfortunately short film career and was often referred to as a fashion/style trendsetter in her era. She was so beautiful and absolutely rocked every aesthetic her characters embodied - fancy Victorian vampire with a long red wig, cute super-spy sidekick with a beehive and Buddy Holly glasses, mysterious villainous femme-fatale witch...the list goes on! There's also been a long-standing rumor that the classic Malibu Barbie may have been visually inspired in part by a brief on-screen role of hers in the movie "Don't Make Waves", where she played a fashionable beach-goer. She only lived to 26, but she was an absolute icon of the 1960's!
Birgitte Price (Father of Four)—She's always playing these very housewifey characters - shes known for playing the eldest sister on a household with a dead mom so she's literally always in the kitchen. In reality she couldn't cook at all and despite being super pretty she married a kinda ugly guy who was a GREAT cook and then she never had to cook a day in her life. That's just smart. She was also KNIGHTED.
This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Sharon Tate:
Tumblr media
she was the sweetest person and great actress too!
 Even though her career was cut short, she proved to be a talented and charismatic actress with plenty of potential. Known for her astonishing beauty, fashion choices and wonderful personality, she remains a Hollywood icon to this very day!!
Tumblr media
she should be known for more than the terrible thing that happened to her. she was beautiful but also a burgeoning comedic actress and apparently an incredibly kind person

Valan Luca will know no peace if he decides to stop in capitols on his touring circuit.
In Ebou Dar, he gets a look at the Empress, may she live forever, who is now his patron. Rescuing that strange woman with the boar-horse really had payed off. And it’s…that bald girl from the first time he left Ebou Dar, who used to torment Mat by calling him Toy. And her shadow. And Mat is there too, and the cheeky little scamp winks his remaining eye.
In Camelyn, he bows before the Queen- and seated on the throne is Morelin, his errant tightrope walker. She seems to find the look on his face funny. A few careful questions with servants reveals that the archer who had worked with the circus and left with her was Birgitte Silverbow herself, just as the woman had always claimed.
Eventually he ends up in Malkier, still rebuilding to a new height of glory. He stands at the center of the tent and in the booth reserved for the King and Queen he hears a familiar sniff. He turns to look and there she is, the beautiful, judgmental Nana. Woman of his dreams. Queen of the country, judging by her crown and holding hands with a solid looking man in the hadori, her familiar disapproving look in place.
He is never going to tour in a city again.
