Turns out this post is about how many Aes Sedai are evil but I fully thought this was about to be a discussion of how many are gay lmao

Something I love so much about team RWBY, aside from the fact that they are all best friends and basically literal soulmates, is that they’ve all seen each other at their absolute worst. Ruby when she finally snapped and broke down in volume 9. Weiss throughout volume 1 when she was still being kind of a bitch and hadn’t gotten past her learned prejudices about the Faunus. Blake for a long time when she was closed off and kept running away and was unwilling to just talk to her team (for understandable reasons, from her perspective). Yang when she was angry and impulsive and kept acting without thinking, especially after she lost her arm. They’ve all seen each other throughout all this and never loved any of the others any less. That’s what makes them so special to me

I am 7 books into the wheel of time, so I am aware that there is a lot of time for things to change. However one of the dynamics that I find most fascinating, most funny, most real, and so often makes me want to tear my hair out in this series so far is how the people consistently putting in the MOST work against the Light are never actually Darkfriends - it’s always the people who think they’re doing things for the forces of the Light themselves.

My man Jaichim Carridin has been at the scene of the crime for like, 4 separate books now (??) and has YET to get a single W against Rand and homies. Meanwhile Pedron Niall sending hordes of fake “Dragonsworn” to terrorize the southwest has done as much to destabilize things as arguably any Forsaken! And this is the guy who is ostensibly leading the defense against the Shadow! It’s just great commentary on how intentions are not always what matters at the end of the day - just because we think we are doing good doesn’t mean that we are, as human beings with all our flaws.

Rand al’Thor for 5 books:

Rand al’Thor does not get enough credit for how funny he is because I nearly spat out my drink at this

Publisher: so I see you’ve got the magic system all ironed out here

Robert Jordan: yep pretty simple isn’t it

Publisher: just had a couple quick questions. So the “One Power”…

RJ: yep

Publisher: also used synonymously with the “True Source”…

RJ: bingo

Publisher: is entirely different and separate from this other important thing called the “True Power”

RJ:

Publisher:

RJ: I’m not seeing the issue

Started the Fires of Heaven and and so far this is my biggest takeaway

What if we were childhood friends/crushes turned respectively powerful narrative foils/reflections of each other haha…unless…

I could never watch the Wheel of Time show with anybody who hasn’t read the books because I’m yelling “GET A JOB! STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!” whenever various seemingly innocuous characters appear for the first time

I’m only on winters heart, but endgame series prediction right here:

[sophthebof]

Wheel of time characters reuniting after 3+ books

Explaining the background of the Wheel of Time to my friend and this is taking me OUT lmfao!
