I'm convinced RJ separated Mat and Rand because otherwise he would've had to follow through on making Mat into Rand's WarderGeneral at which point it would've been impossible for Rand to spiral so low.
Every time Mat feels that gaping abyss of depression through the bond:
"Time for a holiday. The end of the the world will have to wait."
*stages a kidnapping of the Dragon bloody Reborn that has Rand's eyes twinkling*
"Don't look at me like that, Rand. This is for me. I can't think through all your brooding."
bsd fans pls I’m begging y’all if ur gonna try to get someone who’s nvr heard of it to watch/ read the series pls for the love of god do. not. tell them abt the whole dead authors thing pls it’s part of the fun of seeing it for the first time and also it’s so funny to hear abt ppls reactions going from half interested to completely baffled by the sudden mention of names like Francis Scott Fitzgerald or Edgar Allan Poe
@ all the bsd fans out there with insane theories about explaining how dazai putting a bomb in chuuya’s car was an act of love and he didn’t want chuuya to follow him to save him or some such…
I see you. I respect you. I love you. And I want to believe it.
What I do believe is that Dazai was actually just being a little shit.
