RJ really epitomizes the Wheel in all his writing. Sure, he created Tylin, but he also made her horrifying death - and did both without realizing how they'd be interpreted down the line. The Pattern seeks balance in all things.
moiraine the hero’s mentor is like woah im carrying the weight of the fates on my shoulders just by myself im stoned as shit i haven’t slept in 40 days everybody wants me and it’s SUCH an annoyance in my path i just killed a horse and my sister hates me because i’ve made my mommy issues everybody’s problem! and no i cant lie about anything in regards to myself if there’s nothing of value i admit to myself if it hasn’t to do with carrying the weight of the world and its possible descent into eternal damnation on my shoulders
Riding off into the sunset, the hope of a happy ending, the bitter after taste that still in it's own way smells kinda great. Your love is all bitter hopefulness, all about a broken heart that refuses to quit, all about the unshakable knowledge that a burning fire has a great comforting warm and a soft glowing light, all about the way when the sun comes down there's a beautiful starry night. It's stubbornness, it's the refusal to give up, the clutching of broken shards despite the searing pain and being adamant that dammit you can still make a beautiful stained glass window out of it. Yours is a screaming heart, a pleading love, a bitter and almost belligerent hopefulness that things will still work out even if you have to roll up your sleeves and make them. And god, aren't you tired? Isn't your heart heavy? Is all your hard work worth it? Don't you just want to curl up and let it be? Let the fire turn to ashes and the sky turn dark and let love die down and watch people leave? But you don't, do you? You're the bravest out of all of us, so you pick up the pieces and you keep going, you keep believing and you keep your heart full of hope because some day. Some day you know you'll get it. You keep riding off into the sunset and you keep filling my heart with hope as you go because god, how do I wish you finally get it too.
