“She is Moiraine for the whole show, for all of us. And she leads by example. And I just wanna tell a little Rosamund story. On my first or second day [Lord] Agelmar had a very long speech when Rosamund and all the kids and everyone come there [to Fal Dara]. And of course the way it is on TV, they shoot Rosamund first. And then they'll turn the camera around on everybody else. And sometimes a number one on a call sheet will just leave. And we spent hours on the turnaround with Tomas [Chaanhing] doing all kinds of angles. It's quite tiring and takes a long time. And every single take she gave a 100% performance, and the performance grew and grew and grew. And l've never seen a number one on a call sheet do that. And I couldn't believe it. It was the greatest lesson in leadership.”

thinking more about the garden scene, rereading it has just made me want even more for the show to do a "rand and egwene trespassing in the caemlyn palace and meeting gawyn, galad, morgase, and elaida" version of it in early s3! because gawyn is adorable in the book version, but mostly exists as an extension of elayne and a helpful infodumper to explain to rand and the reader what's going on while the other 4 caemlyn characters are carrying the scene.

so in a version of the scene where elayne is not there (as i'd imagine she'd go straight from falme to tanchico, which is pretty nearby, while the rest of the gang could pass through caemlyn in their longer travels), that automatically brings gawyn more into the spotlight and makes him an independent and more noticeable character during that whole sequence. now gawyn alone is defending rand (and egwene) from galad, morgase, and elaida, which would be a strong and memorable first introduction to him as a character. (it would also be a great meetcute for gawene <3 and i'd love to keep the book vibe of gawyn being so kind and friendly to rand and having a huge crush on him when they first meet bc it makes the forthcoming events all the more angsty.)

and in general, the book version of course has elayne as the focal point of the caemlyn sequence, so in the show where the audience already knows and loves elayne from other scenes, an elayne-less caemlyn sequence would be a great opportunity to let the other 4 caemlyn characters shine more. seeing gawyn, galad, morgase, and elaida argue over what to do with these trespassers, without elayne present, would do a lot to shed light on all 4 of them as characters and on the various relationship dynamics between them, which would be really good because the gawyn-elaida dynamic will be key to understanding his role in the coup later in the season (maybe we see him being willing to stand up to galad for the trespassers, but then being kinda cowed and backing down once elaida gets involved), and both gawyn's and galad's relationships with morgase are very central to their individual storylines and motivate a lot of their behavior down the road (more so than elayne, who ofc loves morgase and mourns her death, but doesn't really have those feelings as a main motivator for her behavior).

also, i've gone back to reread the wotseries articles about the shohreh aghdashloo (elaida) and olivia williams (morgase) casting leaks, and uncovered a couple interesting tidbits about the caemlyn filming!

both actresses were spotted on a set that is almost certainly the caemlyn palace (filmed inside a real-life castle with andor's banner hanging up)

wotseries believes that since this set is a location shoot 200 km away from jordan studios, not too much time will be spent there in s3 as frequent shoots there would be inconvenient

this filming occurred in late may 2023 and was for sometime in the first 2 episodes of the season

this all supports my theory of a one-time caemlyn trespassing sequence in approx 3x02! however, wotseries didn't report anything about josha or madeleine being spotted on this set, or about galad's actor or any potential gawyn actors being spotted. but that definitely doesn't mean none of them were there, maybe some or all were but just weren't leaked. on the other hand, i could also imagine maybe there's just one brief caemlyn-set scene of morgase telling elaida to go to the white tower and ask about elayne, and then G&G are introduced later when tagging along on elaida's trip and none of them meet our main characters during this season (or even just gawyn tags along with elaida while galad is instead introduced as a whitecloak in perrin's storyline, though personally i think it's important to galad's story for him to NOT be a whitecloak at first and then become radicalized out of worry for elayne). or it could be that there are multiple scenes in the caemlyn palace but some were filmed on a studio set and this location shoot was only used for a particularly grand room like the throne room or something. many possibilities and such little concrete info to go off of yet!

anyway, overall, i think that first introducing the rest of the caemlyn crew to the audience via their interactions with main characters we already know could potentially be more interesting than introducing them in a vacuum as a totally separate storyline (and indeed, most of the new characters in s2 were introduced via preexisting characters meeting them, iirc). and i think that it would be really great for rand and egwene to get a chance to meet the caemlyn crew before they get tied up in other storylines for the foreseeable future, since elaida and gawyn, in particular, are quite important to both rand and egwene later on (or rather, rand is important to gawyn but not vice versa djkfjg poor gawyn). but only time will tell if i'm onto something here or if i'm way off base!

Hellooooo King Laniel

[acquaintedwiththenight]

Nothing is stronger than a fanfic writer's inherent compulsion to know that one highly specific extremely irrelevant detail they have randomly decided is absolutely essential for scientific accuracy in their high fantasy magic superpower AU (and lowkey use to procrastinate writing the actual fic by digging through the depths of wikipedia for 9 hours), and I feel like this unmatched level of drive could be used for great things (including some bomb ass fanfics).

Basically what I'm saying is I'm waiting for the day one of y'all pins down the exact physical properties of Dark Matter or discovers the secret to immortality after an extensive 10 year research project because you needed it for your fanfic.

It's can be a good pathetic pet, it can degrade itself

[psykoz]

btw hot take but i think that the endogenic issue in general is also the fault of fake claimers who like to ignore how other disorders and illnesses interact w and affect systemhood. like a psychotic and autistic polyfragmented DID system will be substantially different than an OSDD system w anxiety ptsd and depression but that doesnt invalidate either system or their experience. like yes we also know a good portion of endos, especially in the early days, literally were just using it as a gotcha for being "better" or more valid or whatever else for not having icky trauma (!!!) but its also true that a lot of newly discovered or just young systems who do really. REALLY have trauma and a disorder that would bring about a system are being convinced they arent really a traumatized system, no theyre really endo. you know what most often causes these systems to fall into endo circles?? fucking fake claimers doing what they do and making people whos disorder already works to make you doubt having it question and doubt themselves and become more anti recovery (!!!!!) bc YOU think somehow that these many disorders (bc its not just DID and OSDD actually has many types so its not even one disorder ur fake claiming weirdos) are 100% cookiecutter so therefore everyone who experiences smth thats undocumented in a highly understudied handful of disorders that has almost no research into comorbidities or intersections w other disorders at all, is clearly faking it! every ex endo weve ever known has agreed that it was fakeclaimers who pushed them towards those ideals in the first place before they realized or were educated or w/e to get them out of those circles and away from the anti recovery mindset. and i dont think EVERY endo or even ex endogenic is like this obviously but my point is less systems would needlessly fall into anti recovery spaces in general if people used their damn brains to think for half a second that maybe you dont know everything. or to mind ur own business!
