accidentally told my friend that wot prime follows anime hair protagonist logic. they now know who the dragon reborn is.

okay couldn’t liveblog episode 6 so we’re speedrunning my thoughts i put it under a cut bc it’s a long one

the following is not chronological, and contains heavy spoilers for the books

YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW i love that perrin got a chance to sleep for a bit that’s good

and the way moiraine SPUN around when egwene mentioned perrin’s eyes being gold, it just makes me so so so so so excited for when he goes to tel'aran'rhiod for the first time

LOIAL AGAIN MY BELOVED I WANT THAT BUILDER TO WALK WITH ME AND EXPLAIN THE SONGS OF TREES I WOULD BE AT PEACE

“you masked our bond” “send her my love” I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT SCENE OH MY GOODNESS

the instant moirarine opened up that door in the wall i started singing SECRET TUNNEL SECRET TUNNEL THROUGH THE TOWER SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET TUNNELLLLLL

i love the way kate fleetwood has brought liandrin to life, that’s it no analysis that jawline is doing a great job

i hope making siuan and moiraine a canon couple results in them warder bonding each other, i think it would be nice
just a big ol poly part with moirarine, siuan, thom, and gareth bryne

i will admit i was happy stimming this entire episode, but when i realized they were going into the Ways i almost knocked my chair over i got so excited i love the ways more than most other locations in this universe (save idk the weird pocket dimension of the aelfinn and the eelfinn)

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again

MATRIM YOU STUPID SLUT WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T YOU GO IN THE GATEWAY can’t wait to see what happens to that guy

loial is autistic, because i am autistic and i say he is

where, the

FUCK

are the wolves when you need them

“first you lost Moiraine, then tell me how easy it is to jump from one woman to the next”

i mean when it’s your wife you’re jumping to i don’t think lan had such a hard time of it

(disclaimer the timeline around then is a bit jumbled in my head whoops)

LOIAL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

I WOULD DIE FOR THIS OGIER SO QUICKLY EVEN A HUMAN WOULD CALL IT HASTY

-but i’ve never seen a building quite that shape and size,

oh, god, that’s not tar valon

it’s a dick in the sky

EXCUSE ME, MR CAUTHON, WHAT IS THAT YOU JUST SAID????????

it couldn’t possibly have been, “thom’s dead” but WHO KNOWS

MY EARS MAY DECEIVE ME

critical-emery:

mat bb im so sorry you look awful

im kinda glad they skipped the whole “mat is unconscious for an extended period of time and is carried to tar valon”

or maybe they will do that idk

good job matrim you walked all the way to tar valon, good luck with the whole cursed dagger thing there bud

“blood and ashes”

ID: Elija Wood, dressed in an elaborate golden costume. He stands against a grey-blue cloudy background. His arms are thrown up and his face shows an exuberant expression. End ID

O REALLY RAND, YOU’VE SEEN THAT MOUNTAIN BEFORE I CAN’T FATHOM WHERE YOU MIGHT’VE DONE THAT HMM BUDDY

tangentially tho i love the way they’ve designed dragonmount, not that there’s a huge variety of ways to design a mountain but i think it fits

glad to see tar valon is still the vagina it was always designed to be

ALT

ALT

i like to console myself by thinking moiraine got to troll the aes sedai before she got herself exiled

please look at these two in their matching headshots in their matching black turtlenecks with their matching red hair i’m-

far-dareis-me:

We’ve got ¾!

i am politely asking for #4 please

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

amemoryofwot:

Was watching BTS videos to fill the void and the makeup artist for ep 8 accidentally confirmed Nynaeve was not dead or burnt out - they were working on a gradient from 0 to 10 for the degree of damage done to scale the makeup effects and she said Nynaeve was a 4 to Amalisa’s 6 and the Malkieri woman’s 10. So Egwene really had nothing to do with it beyond being Nynaeve’s motivation

moghedien:

Ishamael: I’ve invited you to the Eye of the World because I crave the most dangerous game

Moiraine, nodding: Fire hockey

Ishamael: I was actually going to hunt you for sport but now I’m interested in whatever fire hockey is

okay leaked spoiler for presumably WoT season2 below- don’t look if you don’t want leaks OR book spoilers

more spoilers-

gaydal-cain: #ooooh #I like this take #could see her probing him before joining up #seeing what makes him tick #what sets his trauma off #to gauge his similarity to her LTT #before coming in as Selene to interact more directly

This is exactly what I’m hoping for! We didn’t get to delve into Rand’s issues much in s1 because they needed to introduce everyone and set up the world, but his mental state really needs to be established for s2 and on if major plot points are going to land. And who better to poke and prod the deepest recesses of his brain than the lovely Lanfear? Getting a feel for this new version of LTT before reintroducing herself would be very in character, after all.

So this still leaked,

and it’s definitely Natasha O’Keeffe-

Which means she’s probably not Elaida, as most had assumed. I think the general consensus from this shot is likely Lanfear and I think that’s right (though i’ve seen other theories). I certainly can’t imagine why Elaida would be decked out with black eyes and a bloody neck, and there’s no way they brought this actress in to play a small role.

The heavy blue filter implies a dream sequence or something- which makes sense for Lanfear. Maybe she’ll take over Ishy’s role of sending Rand visions this season? There’s also the possibility of a LTT flashback, which could help establish their relationship prior to her showing up in the current timeline..

But given the bloody neck and dark eyes, and the similarity of the posing to Dana’s death, I’m betting she’ll be playing on Rand’s trauma around watching people die around him- specifically women. I’ve been worried to see how they’ll deal with that on screen, but having Lanfear haunting his dreams to prey on that insecurity seems an excellent way to go!

ofthebrownajah:

Leaked Lanfear scene!?!?
