#The Dragon Reborn

[pien-art]

Remember how at the end of The Dragon Reborn, Ishamael wrapped Moiraine in black lightning and she screamed and Ishy hurled her across the room into a column where she lay unconscious for the whole duration of the book's final confrontation and then that was just never mentioned again and she was completely fine ?? Not on my watch 🤨

#moiraine should have scars bc 1) she has lead a violent life and traveled a lot without having a sister nearby to always heal her #and 2) they look cool as fuck + hot + sexy #my art #wot book spoilers #wheel of time book spoilers #the dragon reborn #wot books #wot tdr #fanart #wot fanart #the wheel of time #moiraine sedai #moiraine damodred #lightning scars #art #scars #illustration #wheel of time #injury

Verin: ok girls now tell the Whitecloak you’re sorry for trying to blow him up

Nynaeve: no I’m not sorry

Elayne: technically we don’t have to apologize because we didn’t actually try to blow him up, just all of the ground around him and his horse so technically it wasn’t him in danger so technically we didn’t even break the three oaths and legally speaking we did nothing wrong

Egwene: *visibly in the middle of a PTSD dissociative episode* haha sorry my bad

#they’re so insane for this at the beginning of book 3 #like Nynaeve being upset that it’s wrong for her to murder a whiteclom #Elayne trying to rule lawyer her way out of trouble for trying to murder #and Egwene just having PTSD flashbacks the whole time and no one acknowledging it #wheel of time #the dragon reborn #wot book spoilers #elayne trakand #egwene al'vere #nynaeve al'meara #verin mathwin

Heartbroken reminder that Egwene is 17 when she gets taken by the Seanchan, spends two months in captivity being tortured, used as a weapon and dehumanized. When she gets back to the Tower, she immediately passes a test that's not at all traumatic, nearly gets killed by a Grey Man and is sent on a secret mission to hunt murderers completely unsupervised. During this period of wandering, lacking direction, she naturally gets angrier and erratic, but Nyn and Elayne mostly treat it as childish rebellion against Nyn's authority, with Elayne slapping Egwene because she was mean to Nyn. When the girls eventually get captured because they are not equipped at all to hunt the Black Ajah, Egwene becomes so terrified of being taken again that she keeps on resisting the sisters long past it is sensible, earning a brutal beating from the sisters who throw her back into a cell, beaten to a pulp, with no hope for help this time.

Clearly, Egwene has no PTSD whatsoever.

#egwene al'vere #The wheel of time #Wot book spoilers #The Great Hunt #The Dragon Reborn #Remblai #wot book journey #I think about it all the time #About how early in the books she gets to experience something so horribly traumatic and to receive little support afterwards #None from the Tower #None from her mentors #And little from her friends because they have their own stuff going #And even if the books don't give as much room to Egwene's trauma as Rand's it's always here #Her prime reaction to someone trying to subdue her will be extremely violent #She would rather die than let that happen again #It's beyond me how she managed to rebuild herself after this and mostly on her own #The Wise Ones helped tremendously here #Because she had a strict routine #She was far away from everything and everyone that could remind her of what happened #Being a Dreamwalker has also little to do with the OP so it allowed her to regain control without interacting with the OP #I love her arc from very early on tbh #It's not about Egwene being unbreakable #It's about Egwene living with a pain that could destroy her #That's something she shares with Rand as well

The Dragon Reborn

So... I finally finished watching season 2. Not sure how I feel about it still. Lanfear being so prominent was just *chefs kiss* (I am biased in this regard) and Natasha was just perfect. Not a big fan of more epic Rand moments being taken away from him. And where is my braid pulling??

An interesting take. I will be watching season 3 just to fill a gap as I am sure I will be peckish.

I was rereading Wheel Of Time and one thing I love is that you don’t get Mat’s point of view until the third book. I mean the first two books you watch Mat say all the wrong things and be a complete idiot and you’re like “What is this guy doing?!”, and then you get to the Dragon Reborn and you’re like “Oh, that’s what goes on in his head” and you still think he’s an idiot, but now you experience the comedic genius that he is

Has there ever been a better wingman than Rand?

In honor of show Lanfear absolutely serving it, here's a painting of book Lanfear from an unrelated scene I drew a while ago. Guess she just likes burning things. As she should.

That's what they try to do, at least, but somehow it always ends up being what the Aes Sedai want anyway.

Interacting with wot fandom for years through various platforms made me notice a pattern: lot of fans base their opinion on wondergirls on Mat’s views. I get it, he’s a fan favourite character (he’s my favourite,too) but he’s far from being unbiased. Often, he’s an unreliable narrator - something he has in common with various other characters.

I wanted to focus on Mat’s first view on Elayne. The first time he mentions her in his point of view, his description of her does her no favors:

She’s a pretty one, even if she does have her nose in the air half the time.

According to Mat, Elayne is a pretty, arrogant girl. A typical snob princess someone could say - hardly the first royal fictional or real person who looks down on those who belong in an inferior class.

And yet when he encounters her brothers and he recalls his interaction with Elayne, we get a totally different picture:

 He wondered if he was supposed to call Gawyn“my Lord” or something of the sort. He had refused to call Elayne “my Lady”—not that she had demanded it, actually—and he decided he would not do her brother better.

Elayne - who is arrogant according to Mat- has no problem with him talking to her casually without referring her with her title. Despite the fact that growing up as a princess she is used to people referring her with honorfics basically her whole life.

Also, keep in mind that during that time Mat had barely interacted with Elayne. He met her at Falme and spend time with her - and the rest of the wondergirls- on their journey to Tar Valon. However, due to the dagger's influence he spend a large amount of the journey being ill and unconscious. They weren't friends at this point, and yet Elayne had no problem with that stranger boy - who is just a friend of a friend- to casually talk to her without honorfics. That indicates that she's the opposite of the way Mat describes her.

Unlike Mat, we have access to other information from books (like for example Elayne being very friendly from her first meeting to Egwene or her worrying over Mat's illness) that further prove that she isn't a self centered, pompous girl but a good natured, friendly and empathetic one.

It's s not the last time Mat misinterprets Elayne and/or her actions. So, I don't think we should treat his views as gospel truth.
