Daniel Henney said at the FYC panel that he is blown away by Josha's performance in s3 and how much he's grown as an actor and that it really shows in his performance which makes me more excited for Rand's Dragon arc to start in the show

I sometimes wonder if Mat is even really aware of his own ability to manipulate others. Like- he’s a good liar and he knows that, and he admits that he knows how to get himself out of trouble but I wonder if he was ever truly conscious of how often he manipulated others. I don’t mean this in a negative way, just an observation about the way Mat handles situations in comparisons to his lord blunt and straightforward counterparts in Rand and Perrin. I’m especially curious if he was ever cognizant of how he used his looks to manipulate women into doing things for him- if it wasn’t so late I’d give a thorough comparison between him and Berelain but that’ll have to wait- all those times he’s trying to get information and he mentions giving them his “best smile” or even just the way he flirts to get what he wants outside of a sexual context. Mat is very good at manipulation, and it’s something that’s actively acknowledged by other characters like Tuon who mentions pridefully the fact that he’s good at daes de mar seemingly naturally. Lots of thoughts, too tired to elaborate lol

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

The thing about Wheel of Time is everyone in it is in an epic fantasy except the Forsaken, who are all in a workplace sitcom where everyone hates each other.

Seonid placed her fingers beneath Alliandre's chin and tilted her head up with a touch more akin to a suggestion. Alliandre complied without a trace of resistance. In the glossiness of dim candlelight with night fallen through the windows behind her, Seonid was shadowed and gold-wreathed, all gilded at the edges.  (x)

His emotions were a small knot in the back of her head, all steely hard determination. She knew the muted pain of old injuries, tamped down and ignored.

Ishamael, staring down at Lanfear's latest Resources Requisition Form: You want 500 gold marks. To start.....an inn?

Lanfear, who would sooner die then admit she needs Ishamael's help to live out her sugar mommy fantasies with Rand: An evil inn. Ishamael sighing, thinking that at least this way he'll know where she is: Sure? Why not?

Five months later

Lanfear: So bad news the evil inn caught fire. Good news, it caught fire because I gave LTT a sex dream so intense he channeled in his sleep and set it aflame.

Ishamael, who has been busy taking over the Seanchan court: you WHAT?

truly the most underrated thing that makes the (RJ-authored) WoT books great is the combination of how good he is at inhabiting the narrative headspace of one character at a time, and how dedicated he is as a writer to the idea that people can have different, even contradictory points of view and cultural expectations without someone being wrong and someone being right. he truly writes like someone who understands that everybody is human and everybody is pretty much trying to do the right thing as they see it, and that all human cultures are the result of people living their lives under a specific set of circumstances. (the exceptions, his truly villainous villains, are always people who put themselves first outside of matters of survival - and they aren't limited to one culture or background.)

if there's a flaw in this approach, it's that he is so good at inhabiting one PoV at a time that people confuse 'things the characters think' for 'things the narrative is saying are true about the world', because a protagonist is thinking and/or saying them, when in fact 90% of the comedy and commentary in WoT falls in the space between what PoV characters think or understand and what is actually happening. alternatively, that space is used as evidence that X character is bad in some way instead of being a narrative technique to emphasise that everybody's worldview is limited by their experience and upbringing, and the 'truth' of the world exists somewhere at the intersection of all those worldviews. it's not a skill that's unique to him as a writer but in epic fantasy, especially of his time, I think it's rarer than it should be.

Robert Jordan making a character who should be a perfect self insert power fantasy for young men (chosen one, powerful sorcerer, king, chief of the Proud Warrior Race Guys, master swordsman, had three hot girlfriends,) and just giving him severe mental illness and the worlds most miserable heroes journey was such a power move

#wheel of time #wot #wot book spoilers #rand al'thor #he could have easily been completely intolerable #just the most egregious gary stu of all time #instead he joined the fitzchivalry Farseer society for sad disaster men #and yes I am aware wot came out first #but no one does it like fitz

honestly one of the most noteworthy things, imo, about the robert jordan era of wheel of time is his full stop refusal to glamorize pain. through every single character's experience in the books, he said over and over again: pain and trauma do not make you stronger, they do not make you better, they do not improve your life, and there is no one who is ~ too strong ~ to be susceptible to pain. when he showed intense hardass siuan sanche giving up information under torture, when he showed egwene controlled as a damane, when he showed rand's mental breakdown as he was subjected to more pain and torture and horrors, rj really said stop pretending suffering has moral value with his whole chest

#idk where i'm going with this tbh it's just something i think about every once in a while #which feels like a stark difference to a lot of media and i daresay a lot of fantasy #wot book spoilers #wheel of time
