#mierin eronaile

[thenotoriousscuttlecliff]

One night Lanfear is just going to get bored and show up in Rand's dreams, all dressed up in her dominatrix gear, and tell him all her ideas about string theory.

[tyetknot]

Absolutely living for Lanfear going absolutely ham. Look at her, in her Ancient Future Past power suit, nuking peasants who by her standards are ignorant savages, incredibly bored by this whole thing, on her way to bail out her reincarnated ex-boyfriend who dumped her three millennia ago. The most highly-regarded theoretical physicist of her time, going to rescue her ex even after he dumped her so badly in his past life that she drilled a hole to Satan so he would notice her again! She loves her job but hates her co-workers. Fucking love you, Mierin. You go, girl.

#married for 3400 years and counting

I'm rewatching Lanfear's "WhAaAaT!? You can ChAnNeL!?" performance, and honestly I feel like she's thinking:

"Okay, you got this, we're not gonna repeat the incident at LTT's wedding. Act shocked. Okay, that worked. Flinch away from him. Yes, girl, you're killing it. Okay, now try to cry. Crycrycrycrycry. *A tear runs down her cheek* Yes! Omg he said he loves me! Girl, I'm so proud of me! Now it's time for some BDSM."

[stainlesssteellocust]

Back before she showed up I jokingly wondered how they were going to deal with book-Lanfear’s insane beauty, like this chick’s meant to be utterly impossibly flawless, how could a flesh and blood person possibly live up to that were they going to cg her or use an inhuman animatronic statue or something?

Pleased to announce they instead went down the significantly cooler route of just giving her ludicrous amounts of style, I don’t normally thirstpost on here but damn:

walk walk fashion baby

Fully invested in the Randfear drama this reread. This is 100% Natasha O'Keefe's fault

i just found this picture and like. guys. i’m so not okay about this. the LIGHTING. the way they’re looking at each other. he’s so in love with her it’s so cute. she just seems so confused to me ngl like denying that she wants him, wants rand rather than the dragon reborn yk (don’t @ me for any of this im still a wot noob). the light behind him, the bringer of light. but all we can see of him is covered in the same lighting as her. pretty boy is so gone on her. as well he should be. the darkness is all around him but still the light is there, shining on him. honestly i can see him going over to the dark for her, if moiraine hadn’t interrupted her whole aol sex weave thing and she’d been able to tell him who she was on her own terms. this pic just seems to me what they could have been, in another timeline. he’d stay loyal to her as long as she was honest with him and stayed by his side. which is her endgame, ruling at his side. she was forced to push down everything soft about her, to destroy mierin and become lanfear, become the stuff of legends. but with him she isn’t mierin and she isn’t lanfear, she is selene. someone in between the wunderkind who lost everything drilling the bore and the monster who’d stop at nothing to get her love back. someone who can give and take, push and pull.

they could have been two people in love, but the light demanded a leader, and every great story needs its villain.

Speaking of Beidomon it says he committed suicide at some point during the Collapse because it was widely known what he did in drilling the Bore, which I would assume follows people know that Mierin did it too. So it seems like we always say she joined the Shadow because she was scorned by Lews but that was really probably the only option for survival she had. Declaring it publicly in the Hall IS a flex tho

[shunnao-addict]

I love the juxtaposition of Moiraine putting all her newly gained power and concentration into opening the Waygate, and Lanfear doing it without even blinking an eye

Lanfear

The Daughter Of The Night The Mistress of Disguises The Moonhunter

[thenotoriousscuttlecliff]

Ishamael: How are things going with al'Thor? Lanfear: He thinks I'm just a simple innkeeper and now he's my little fuck toy. Ishamael: Hmm. And what is the next stage of your plan? Lanfear: ...Next stage?

[moghedien]

what I really want is for after Rand knows about Lews Therin's past with Lanfear, he learns the name Mierin without her knowing (either through Rhuidean visions or Asmodean or getting some kind of memories or whatever I really don't care how) and for him to call her that to her face when she's being deranged at some point later and to just be able to physically see her face crumble at that

[vulpixenthusiast]

Mierin eronaile, the most powerful saidar channeler of her time. In a time when the channelers were at their most powerful.

Mierin eronaile a genius scientist with an underdog complex who never got recognition, and when thinking she would, ended up dooming herself and the whole world.

Mierin eronaile, the woman who only loved one man and was never really loved in return; who never really learned what love actually was. What it could be. The woman who clang to that because what was she to do, what else was there left?

Mierin eronaile the scientist who found a new source of power for ALL channelers. The woman who opened a hole to the prison made by the creator himself.

Mierin eronaile, who clung to power as much as she did to what she believed to be love towards the only man she would ever want. Because again. What else was there.

Mierin, who very likely never knew friendship or even companionship.

The woman who dedicated her entire life to studying the one power.

Mierin, who was such a competent and brilliant woman that both the representatives of Light and Dark wanted her.

The woman who, unfortunately, even if all of that, was also deeply mentally unstable. Something which probably could count for her never getting a third name.

“Yeah Mierin is brilliant and there’s no one who knows more abt the one power, or who has done so much in terms of advancing what we can do with it. But like. she’s visibly insane, no one would ever think of giving her a third name. Can you imagine ? No one would give that a green light”.

Mierin Eronaile, who was so devoted to Lews Therin but still got dumped, and later on is only thought of by him through a lens of disgust and anger.

Mierin Eronaile, who even as her self-made monster, still managed to resurface whenever her ex lover would slip through Rands lips. Even losing her so well put demeanor.

Mierin sedai, who we first get to know through Rands ancestral. Another connection to the dragon reborn.

Mierin Eronaile, who, just like pandora, uncovered something she didn’t completely understand, and suffered hell for it, along with the world. But unlike pandora, also lost hope in the process.

Mierin Eronaile, who didn’t die, yet somehow, and still came back wrong.

The tragedy of Mierin Eronaile and the birth of Lanfear.

Lanfear the monster born out of desperation, but also choice. A 50/50 dose of both.

Lanfear, Mierins response to the world around her. “You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Ill be the bad guy.”

Lanfear, the only Forsaken to chose her own name. Lanfear, gripping the reigns of her own story for once. A true rebirth.

Daughter of the night, walker of dreams, dweller in the dark. In direct contrast to Lews Therin, Rand al Thor, “He who comes with the dawn”.

She who brings sleep and dreams. And he who wakes and brings the light. She who lives in and rules this separate, mirrored world. This Unreality. And he who brings new, actual realities, all over again.

Lanfear, Mierins greatest triumph over her own self. It becomes no surprise that she loses her hold on her emotions when Asmodean brings that name to her acknowledgment again.

Lanfear, the shapeshifter. The ever changing mask user. Playing with t’avaren who mold the pattern around them, instead of being dragged and drowned by it.

Lanfear, who hates being called aes sedai. What has serving them all ever brought her? Aes sedai, who turned their back to her when she needed them the most. Even Lews.

Lanfear, who even sworn and bound by literal strings to her soul to the Dark One, betrays him, and actively plots to take him down along with the creator.

Lanfear, who doesn’t give two scents about The Dark or The Light. There’s her side, and against her.

Moon hunter, always eyeing, in search of the unattainable. With a never ending hunger for more. And more. Nothing ever coming close to being enough.

Lanfear, trying to fill a hole in herself reminiscent of Mierin Eronaile, who will probably never heal because she has never known love. And she never will, because that would mean becoming that woman again. And she would never. Ever again.

Daughter of the night, the chosen to free the dark one, the only to pick her own name. And still second in command. Still not good enough. Still unrecognized.

Lanfear, in a constant state of self loathing, but also always boastful, proud to a fault.

The monster who changed herself and keeps on changing, willingly and unconsciously. Who becomes unrecognizable, until, somehow, recognition falls back onto her self. And on, and on, and on. In an eternal loop, just like the wheel of time.

Ishamael who never wanted to be a monster and doesn’t see himself as one versus Lanfear, who HAD to be a monster, who chose to be one to leave behind every pain and weakness from Mierin Eronaile.

Lanfear, the goddess, who is so distant from humanity but still fatally human. Daughter of the night, who can never wake from the dream, and so can never truly go back to being just a human.

Lanfear and Mierin Eronaile, who are the same person and not at all.
