i love that RJ went "rand has red hair which is unheard of in the two rivers, and it might make people think he's aiel, but actually his mom is just a wetlander with red hair, so that's a fakeout. but actually, surprise, that itself is a fakeout, because that woman is in fact his adoptive mom and his bio mom was an aiel with red hair. but actually, surprise, that's a fakeout too, because his bio mom wasn't an aiel, she was a wetlander with red hair." i've never seen a Character Who Doesn't Look Like The Rest Of Their Town have that many uno reverses in the explanation for why they look that way.

twice in a row I've stayed up inadvisably late bc I get back to my room after a late night hanging out with cool con people and I'm like hmm it's definitely bedtime. but first. I NEED to talk about Siuan Sanche on the internet
Siuan Sanche I will never tire of your fish talk. You left home and family behind when you were still just a kid and you were just a poor girl from the river training alongside nobles and princesses and you were smart and clever and good and you didn't let them look down on you and they loved you so much they made you their mother and even when some of them rejected and betrayed you, you got right back up and into the fight where most women just lie down and die and through it all you never stopped with the fish talk because you never stopped being the girl from the river and even though some tried to hold that against you, you knew your home was where your strength came from and you never forgot that for even a moment.
"But when you don’t have an oar, child, any plank will do to paddle the boat ashore."
"In Agelmar's private garden, under a thick bower dotted with white blossoms, Moiraine shifted on her bedchair The fragments of the seal lay on her lap, and the small gem she sometimes wore in her hair spun and glittered on its gold chain from the ends of her fingers. The faint blue glow faded from the stone, and a smile touched her lips. It had no power in itself, the stone, but the first use she had learned of the One Power, as a girl, in the Royal Palace in Cairhien, was using the stone to listen to people when they thought they were too far off to be overheard.
"The Prophecies will be fulfilled," the Aes Sedai whispered. "The Dragon is Reborn." "
I love this ending in the book, even if the couple chapters before this are a bit messy and confusing.
Siuan & Moiraine: Love and Justice in The Wheel of Time
I've been thinking a lot about Siuan's final speech in third season finale of The Wheel of Time, and I disagree with the reading that it centred Moiraine, when it was about Siuan's sense of justice, and what the Light means to her. It was also very clear for the most of the season, little of what Siuan did actually involved Moiraine - they were broken up (in a sense) but still did what they had to do respectively.
"Will you stand behind this woman who stands for nothing? Who loves nothing but power?"
Ever since Elaida's introduction, we learn that she wants the throne for herself not because she cares about the world, or even the prophecy - she wants it to establish a powerful title equivalent to her rank and that was it. There is nothing behind her ambitions, which is the darkest thing of all - even worse than Melindhra who swore to the dark because she wanted to save Malkier.
Siuan is different. She never wanted to become Aes Sedai, much less the Amrylin Seat. She comes a little fishing village and wears her Tairen tattoos proudly for everyone to see; she uses fishing metaphors even in official capacity; she decorates her room like a fishing hut and doesn't care what others think. This is who Siuan's father taught her to be - never to be ashamed of her identity, and always to wear her pride on her sleeve.
"So much for the Amrylin Seat remaining neutral without favourites. No life. No love of one's own. Nothing but the Seat."
The necessity of the Amrylin's indifference is not who Siuan is, who loved her father and never wanted to leave him, who loved Moiraine so deeply that she continued their affair knowing that it ran the risk of death. She made a choice to love Moiraine when it wasn't safe to do so, because this love is what gives her life meaning. Thematically, Moiraine and Siuan's love for each other is inextricable from their pursuit of justice - they are fighting for a future they may not get to see, but to be happy while the world rots is not something they stood for.
This is where Siuan differs from Elaida; Siuan is a ruler who loves and is loved in return, and White Tower laws do not allow room for that. The intractability of the White Tower will cause them to lost the last battle. They want to cage and gentle Rand - with good reason, of course - but this decision also means that they don't have faith that Rand can choose to do the right thing. They don't trust anyone and don't stand for anything but themselves. Moiraine, despite her ruthlessness, has come to trust that somewhere in the Dragon Reborn lies a good-hearted shepherd named Rand al'Thor.
For Siuan, the Amrylin must stand for something and someone. She cannot lead the world with indifference and selfishness. Notice that Siuan wishes that they never went to Gitara's study. For Moiraine and Siuan, the thought of knowing the truth and eloping never crossed their minds - maybe if they hadn't walked into the room, they would have eloped. But they were given the burden of knowledge, and they cannot abandon the world. It is perhaps true that Moiraine and Siuan only fell in love with each other because they recognised in each other a fundamental goodness. As Anvaere has said of Moiraine, the same can be said of Siuan.
"But there are two things my sister understands better than anyone; the difference between right and wrong, and how much harder it is sometimes to do what is right."
So when Elaida accuses Siuan of working with Moiraine - knowing damn well that these two were lovebirds - Siuan tells the truth. She loves Moiraine, and she won't be shamed - the laws of the Aes Sedai need to leave room for choice, for love, and for light. If they are to win the Last Battle, they need to change. Elaida is using the ugliness of tower laws fuel her dictatorship, and Siuan saw right through it. Elaida isn't a dark friend, but she doesn't know what the light means. Siuan does, because she loves and is loved. Her declaration of love isn't about Moiraine as much as it is about the indifference and cruelty of Aes Sedais. But Moiraine and Siuan's love for each other is what sustained them; they had the slightest of hopes that winning the last battle is what gets them closer to their dreams. It is crushing and moving and deeply heartbreaking.
“Everyone has a choice and every choice has a consequence."
People fall in love. And when they do, they care about the future that they have to live in. To have "nothing but the seat" is what Elaida embodies, and in her final hours, Siuan is warning Elaida that this tyranny and narcissism will rot her soul. Elaida's countenance of shock and surprise affirms this. Unlike her, Siuan stood for someone and something. She has more than Elaida ever would hope to gain. Siuan will never become a tyrant because she loves. To discount Siuan's love for Moiraine is to overlook the choice she made to love against the grain, even when it is the most dangerous thing she could do. As Moiraine has said, every choice comes with a consequence. Both of them knew they were living on borrowed time, but that is what enriches the love they have for each other.
There is a future where Moiraine is waiting for Siuan, but ultimately it can't be because they made a choice to forge a future for the whole world, even if it means forfeiting their happiness. Even if it means they won't live to see it. There is an extremely moving and earth-shattering bravery in that commitment.
cannot believe all of this was in the original wheel of time pilot draft and they cut every single line…where’s your respect for her masc autistic inferiority complex dubious morality realness !!

Liandrin smoothed her red dress and smiled with that pouting rosebud mouth. Her doll's face was filled with amusement. "You see, do you not, wilder," she began, "you have no—"
Nynaeve hit her in the mouth as hard as she could. (TDR, ch. 51)
