#mat cauthon

egwene just looked mat dead in the eye and informed him that he’s a simp for rand

so we’re all predicting that mat and the girls will be at the white tower at the beginning of s2 and that the caemlyn crew will also be introduced there, SO the ideal introduction for galad would be to have egwene, nynaeve, and mat going for a stroll around the white tower grounds, they come across warders training, cut to extremely sexy shot of galad swordfighting (slow motion optional), cut back to egwene and nynaeve AND mat all drooling

mat and perrin whenever they go too far away from rand for too long

RANDWICH!!! RANDWICH!!!!! RANDWICH!!!!!!!!

rand ordering asmodean to play the saddest song he knows after mat tells him he’s leaving

[all standing around the broken coffee maker]

aviendha: so. who broke it? i’m not mad, i just want to know.

rand: i did. i broke it.

aviendha: no. no you didn’t. mat?

mat: don’t look at me. look at perrin.

perrin: what?! i didn’t break it.

mat: huh, that’s weird. how’d you even know it was broken?

perrin: because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken.

mat:suspicious.

perrin: no it’s not!

egwene: if it matters, probably not, but elayne was the last one to use it.

elayne: liar! i don’t even drink that crap!

egwene: oh really? then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

elayne: i use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. everyone knows that, egwene!

rand: okay, let’s not fight. i broke it, let me pay for it.

aviendha: no! who broke it?!

perrin: aviendha…nynaeve’s been awfully quiet.

nynaeve:REALLY?!

perrin: yeah, really!

nynaeve: OH MY GOD-

[everyone starts arguing]

aviendha, later: i broke it. it burned my hand so i punched it. i predict ten minutes from now they’ll be at each other’s throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. good. it was getting a little chummy around here.

Literally everyone in The Wheel of Time books at some point:

            Drawing his sword, and suppressing the pang that he now always felt looking at it now, remembering his father, Rand took a deep breath and tried to form the Void. 

            It had not come easily these last few days. In his mind he formed the flame and fed everything into his: his fear, his anxiety, his anger at the Aes Sedai, his doubt about their situation about whether or not he had caused it somehow, even the mess of tangled feelings that reared up in him anytime he thought of Mat now. He wanted to shake the other man, and he wanted to hold him close and never let go. He wanted to kiss his stupid smirking mouth until it was red and panting, and he wanted to chase Mat away to a place beyond where Rand could hurt him, or let him down.

            All of it fed into the flame, but no matter how large it grew, it never winked out into the emptiness as it was supposed to. It always wavered, flicking just on the edge. Finally Rand gave up and shifted into Heron Waiting in the Rushes, to begin working the forms of the sword.

captain-ozone:

you know what my favorite Mat “I’m no bloody hero” Cauthon scene is? It isn’t the scene in which he stands up to bullies and acquires a child. It isn’t any scene in which he wonders why his Accidental Baby Acquisition suddenly gained all these bad habits that most certainly have nothing to do with him. It isn’t any scene in which he and Nynaeve bicker like siblings. It isn’t his first ever appearance with Rand nor his last with Padan Fain. It isn’t even any of the other scenes in which he does something epic by sheer chance (or even on purpose), or when he totally wrecks two princes with his quarterstaff, or when he gets into a bragging contest with the Dragon Reborn.

No, it’s when he sees Egwene walking alone and ignored as a newly elected Amyrlin in the middle of a group of Aes Sedai, thinks I won’t have any Two Rivers woman treated this way, and makes a huge show of making a leg and giving Egwene the respect she deserves, even AFTER he readily admits he thinks she’s crazy for (and had been coerced into) accepting the position in the first place.

Her soft “Thank you, Mat” kills me every time.
