OK I think I'm good to give my thoughts about the last 2 episodes now (warning, it's long)

I'm so fucking wilded out by the whole wakfu extraction scene. It was absolutely painful.

I have to applaud the transition between Yugo's old and new VA, it was super clean. I really like his voice, it's so soft and yet you feel it has some power in reserve, though for Valentin Vincent (yes, if you're an ff7 fan you see it, I see it too) to win over Fanny Bloc in my heart he'd need to give me a godlike performance, for now I need to grow used to the change.

I believe I said somewhere some time ago that Eliatrope landing on the WoT could have some drastic repercussions, seems like I was wrong then, I'm okay with that.

Poor Nora, I just- she's only ever done her best, she mourned for a brother who used her like a puppet, how fucking cruel is it that now her powers is what's putting the world in danger and there's nothing she can do about it. Efrim being so devoured by his hunger that he feels hatred for Eliatrope and doesn’t care about even his own twin sister is so sad. He calls Eliatrope an egoist, as if anyone was owed her life force, and he sees nothing but sustenance. I do remember someone saying that you become someone else when you discover what true hunger feels like, it's what him being folded in two over his own stomach reminded me of. I hope there is some way out for them, but I'm not sure that I can be hopeful.

Talking about that, Toross Mordal. He can't forget himself to his own anger, like the others, but his mind still can't prioritize anything else. It's interesting to me that to him Yugo was just a means of sustenance, and yet he showed him more sympathy seemingly than he did to Nora, the central piece to his plan. Does Yugo remind him of someone else? Himself? I also think a lot about the way he's on loop about how Eliatrope "could have kept on feeding his people for centuries", he says it so often, and I wonder if it's meant to parallel Eliatrope's "we're doomed" attitude. They're both on loop about their own situations.

The whole dichotomy between "monster" and "pure" seems to reach some conclusion, that probably being that these two concepts don't really mean anything but "who we feel like we're allowed to demonize or not".

It's very strong with Qilby, who's been labeled as both by people. He's been a blast those last 2 episodes, I wouldn't call it a redemption arc, but an acceptance of his complexity. Yugo was right in s2, Qilby cannot deal with loneliness, and moreso by the void. The one thing he really wants is for things to exist so that he can discover them, to compensate for his lack of connexion. Beyond that he understands that no one can truly get him, and that's okay, he seems to have done some self-reflection if he actually came to that conclusion without much anguish. He's reuniting with the one person who can get it, hopefully at some point some form of compromise can be done so that the White Dimension never becomes a necessity again.

Turns out Lokus WAS a Mechasm after all, interesting to have rebooted the species a little. You can be "worthy" of them, the conditions of this being kind of unclear. Given the parallels between the Eliacube and the Eliasphere, it seems, strangely enough, that both Yugo and Qilby have been deemed worthy. I'm kind of fascinated, I want to understand how they work a bit more, but I don't think we'll be given much answers.

I have so many thoughts about Yugo it's unreal. First I want to comb his hair, he's pretty but haircare isn't on point, tbf that's part of the charm I think. Because I really, really want to be the one to comb his hair. Yeah he's already going up there on the babygirl list. That's powerful.

The fact that Yugo has a mind protection mechanism thanks to the Eliotropes is beautiful to me. They, or at least Oropo, did want someone, anyone, to aknowledge them, and Yugo going from refusing to accept them to giving them a full Persona-style recognition was nice. I want to know more about them, specifically I want to see which aspects of them are their own, and which they originally got from Yugo, because I see them both as some extensions of Yugo and as their own people. To me, the moment you are separated from your "original being", you start to be "you", so something different. Oropo only being one of many actually helps me to appreciate him more. Still an asshole though. Yeah I do believe they're real, otherwise Yugo couldn't have come up with Bouillon, y'know? Let me just have some Yugo chilling with his not-quite-clones from time to time, let me figure out their individual deal.

Amalia is going to pop off, love that for her, curious about what her and Yugo's reunion is going to be like.

We heard nothing from the Percedals, well for now their big arc has been handled I guess, but they'll probably come back for the finale, their friends will need all the help they can get, after all. Actually so much of Eva's personality can be understood through the prism her abandonment issues, but her it doesn't feel like we have reached the point where her arc can be considered close, but her deciding to trust Flopin, trust the people around her, to give them love, really reminds us how far she's come from the person who refused to adress Amalia by anything other than "princess".

Also not much of Ruel, he's probably going to be torn between his two treasures: his money and his friends needing him, and Ruel is generous in the ways that matter. At least that's my expectations. Kinda wish we had more comic relief moments, but let's be real, it wouldn't have been appropriate atm.

I'm surprisingly normal about the fact eliatropes seem to be able to make their own clothes.

Did I say everything I wanted to say? Ah no, wait

The scene where Ad is being all self-depreciating and Qilby's coming back like "Hey, missed me?" Was hilarious, I actually laughed out loud and I really needed it.

Bro Qilby calling Amalia superficial. On the one hand she does rely a bit too much on appearances, on the other Qilby can talk, he doesn't know her and makes some pretty mean assumptions. Wrong ones at that, because Amalia knows Yugo and loves him beyond appearances, and so does Yugo. The irony of it all isn't lost on me.

Armand had such a wisdom glow up, good for him.

Other thoughts may come up, but that's what I have right now. Can't wait till next week I'm too excited

WoT s2 and book spoilers below

Gotta say, I'm digging s2 better than s1 so far. Yes, they still made some inexcusable changes (Uno) and some where I don't understand why they were necessary (Liandrin - I was having a wonderful time just peacefully hate-loving her), but generally speaking I like the narrative they're setting up.

Particularly, I like Mat's character development. Last season I was kinda seeing a sulky bastard who made excuses for his own poor behavior. This season, it's a sulky bastard with a good heart who's so ashamed of his choices that he can't face his friend. Infinite improvement, and a little closer to the book!Mat that I know and love.

Min also just knocks me off my socks every time she does something. I was very, very scared of what a tv show would do with a character like Min (especially considering the whole "sexy lamp" debate surrounding her), but they keep showing a well rounded, kick-ass, human Min who cares deeply about what she does and who she meets. Can't wait to see even more of her.

One of the weird changes is Perrin, and I'm kinda mad that they forced more weird changes on him after s1. First off, it was a hella weird choice to leave out Hurin. I understand why they put Elyas there but 1) Elyas would never fucking do that and 2) it was absolutely hilarious reading about Perring trying to make it seem he was doing the same thing as Hurin, when he was absolutely not doing that. Hurin served as the perfect tool to demonstrate a certain line between normal and abnormal, with Hurin being on one side of that line, and Perrin far over it on the other side. Plus, visions? For real?

Not sure how I like grimdark!Rand yet. He's in a sort of relationship with Selene that book!Rand would have run away from. He's violent in a way book!Rand never was. I understand that he's got a lot to work through, but so did book!Rand, so there's really no excuse. Please, let my boi redeem himself in the later episodes.

The Wondergirls, in conclusion, were perfect. Egwene and Nynaeve's characters were on-point as always, and I am in LOVE with Elayne, to my great relief. I already suffered the loss of fav-character-Mat in s1, and it would have killed me to lose fav-character-Elayne too. They casted really well with Ceara. She's playing Elayne as a down-to-earth girl, but in a "oh shit this isn't normal for peasants?" way that has nothing to do with ego or entitlement, but more with genuine surprise, and without judgement. She cares so deeply about Egwene that she's sleeping out on a cold dungeon floor for a woman she's never met, she's brewing and experimenting and she does it all with SO MUCH GRACE. Thank you Kelly Valentine Henry for your excellent choice here.

In short, can't wait for the rest of the episodes! I'm so happy to actually be excited about them!

Hi!! My turn to send you an ask :) How do you think Lan, Siuan, and Mo celebrate Valentine's Day? 💘

Thank you so much for this cute ask and I hope that you forgive me for turning it into my very first WoT/ Fishwives Valentine's Day oneshot instead of giving a straightforward answer ^^

[uldren-sov]

With O's valentine story being SO good and cute I was thinking just wtf Seven's could be (beyond just Whitney Houston's Where Do Broken Hearts Go playing on repeat in a sad bar lmao) and kind of got to thinking about like they still have their love of music in common. That's about the only thing they have that they share anymore (and even Seven admits this).

Music is so integral to both Seven and MC's life and it has been for so long now, and even if it may have been what they were destined for, it's still something they chose. Which I think is such a powerful thing for them to have done ...

And then all of this to say, wot if an August Rush-style AU in general, in the vein of the fairy-tale like story it has. How, despite these two people falling for each other at the wrong time, because they are so tied to music, and still so tied to the love they shared, that music - as a kind of magic - will help unite them again.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my beloved unhinged Moiraine stans 🤎

[witchingshcdows]

“You are the only one, Moiraine, with whom I can remember who I was. Sometimes I wish we still were novices, you and I. Still innocent enough to see it all as a gleeman’s tale come true. Still innocent enough to dream of the happy ending to the gleeman’s tale, of living our lives as other women do, just with more than they.”

— The Great Hunt, chapter 4
