yeah i'm thinking about rand in the trailer / the fact that sanderson is consulting on the show again

but

if season 2 starts setting up for the (frankly absurd) sanderson dragonmount assertion that rand ~ starts going dark ~ because he doesn't care about other people ~ i am well and truly going to scream

#it just worries me bc he really starts the angry behavior TOWARDS THE SHITTY NOBLES IN TEAR specifically IN HIS EFFORTS TO HELP THE POOR #not that rand is an angel in book 3 especially but in book 3 he's literally being tortured day and night and it's a different kind of #viciousness he's pushed to than we see in later books #like in tdr he explicitly acknowledges that his friction with moiraine is just an expression of his helplessness #it's also occurred to me that his outbursts in s1 could be construed as sandy thru egwene asserting that he always had #the capacity for anger and it just didn't come out till they left two rivers #instead of it being yk a reflection of the trauma he accrues over the series #and if that is an influence i'm going to stare into the abyss #anyway hopefully i'm catastrophizing #the more time passes the angrier i get about sanderson's wot takes #sorry to anyone reading this #every day i get closer to randposting 24/7 again i guess
