My friends, I give you… a surprisingly important character, considering how easy she is to overlook. From freeing the deposed Amyrlin to handing off the Horn of Valere itself, this is no mere cook. Henceforth, you will address her as MISTRESS OF THE KITCHENS (which, IIRC, Siuan made into an official title in TGH).
I tried to do her justice but I…. What a woman, what an Amyrlin, what an actor, and also, wtf is this dress?? I mean, I love it, but I don’t understand it and I think it shows here jdnalksdna
Anyway, congrats to Sophie Okonedo for her face and her acting, she’s just so Siuan, they truly couldn’t have picked a better person for the role. Miss Pike chose her wife well
so I started watching The Wheel of Time…this is my impression of what amazon didn’t have the balls to show us the way gender is and isn’t discussed in the show.
Moiraine, internally: this is why I never wanted kids.
“She gained another nightmare to join the babe in the snow and the faceless man. She sat on the Sun Throne, wearing the shawl of an Aes Sedai, and in the streets outside, the mobs were destroying the city.”
-Moiraine Damodred, New Spring
just some more art to feed the Sun Queen AU we all deserve
its real missing the wheel of time hours so here’s a tribute to dare i say the best character in the whole series jk haha unless
[alt: blue text reading “sail on The Spray” with a sailboat from the front, crashing through waves in shades of blue. the sails are full and the portholes are shaped like the cuendillar seals. A sailor looks over the railing with a telescope. In the background, a dark city looms.]
there may be minor book expectation spoilers in the book closeups but yes i did name like 50 books instead of doing laundry so if you actually look at the titles tell me your favorites :)
counting down the days to wotshow with these character cards i’ve been making, inspired by the posters! first up, our parents, Moiraine and Lan.
(alt: stylized drawings of Moiraine and Lan in the poses from the character posters, in varying shades of blue/purple, with decorative borders and a simplified version of the ouroborous in matching colors, Moiraine’s says “the wheel weaves as the wheel wills” and Lan’s says “Death is lighter than a feather”)
