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
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.
“Is that all?” Rand said. “You know Nynaeve’s temper. When Cenn Buie called her a child last year, she thumped him on the head with her stick, and he’s on the Village Council, and old enough to be her grandfather, besides. She flares up at anything, and never stays angry past turning around.”
[Thom] “One old grandfather starts ranting at me about the kind of stories I should or should not tell, then a girl-child shouts at me to get out, and threatens me with a great club when I don’t move quickly enough for her. Who ever heard of treating a gleeman so?”
Is it bad that I love when nynaeve antagonizes the senior citizens ajdhdhdhfh
– Aes Sedai marry as seldom as Wisdoms. Few men can live with so much power in a wife, dimming them by her radiance whether she wishes to or not. – Some men are strong enough. I know one such.
I love Nynaeve’s imposter syndrome. She kicks herself for a lack of bravery as she drags a Forsaken she’s taken captive into a battle zone to try to face down a second Forsaken.
I’ve known many women who are so capable but don’t see how talented they are, just the mistakes. It’s a very honest read on this really brave and remarkable woman that she wouldn’t recognize that in herself. It humanizes someone who could otherwise come across as very one-note because she’s always so angry.
Nynaeve is full of contradictions, as are all of the best characters in the series, and I love her for it.
rafe if you’re listening I know it’s almost impossible but I think you should put Elayne and Nynaeve up to even MORE bugs bunny hijinks. MORE circuses MORE tel’aran’rhiod BIGGER mishaps. Go big or go home
