MAT AND TUON <3 <3 <3

I am extremely happy to present you this piece of art done by @meeppodraws, depicting my most favourite scene of them all. Mat and Tuon reunion in A Memory of Light, Chapter 15 “Your Neck in a Cord”.

In anticipation of the release for A Memory of Light I created the following confession.

All I dreamt was for perfect Mat and Tuon reunion. And by a true blessing my wish has been fulfilled in the most badass scene. I cared for the rest of the book too, ofc, but I was already in piece that the book is in good hands and I won’t be disappointed as I wasn’t for the reunion.

I wanted the reunion to feel really special, to be badass, but not too sloppy. I feared that Tuon would be out of character only to fulfill the romantic cliché and I wanted her love to be shown in a genuine and subtle way. And I was extremely delighted to see her cold, calculating face mixed with hints of her unquestionable love and trust in Mat. Tuon, whose whole life has been taught to never trust anyone with constant suspicion coded in her blood and yet she did the unthinkable, she turned her face away from a flying dagger pointed at her. She trusted Mat with her life despite of her all previous education and experience. Against her brain she followed her heart, her instincts that Mat isn’t and won’t be a danger for her. She looked over her shoulder and the reader is immediately sold on her love. There was no need for words when one simple action spoke best.

May be some day we will see that scene shown on TV screen or drawn on official comics but still it won’t catch the impact and emotion of the scene which meeppodraws depicted so well. True masterpiece by skillful master artist. <3 <3 <3

Hello, UAF! 

It is again this time of the year when to draw the line and summarize what stuff has happened in the past 12 months. Reference for previous 2014, 2015 and 2016.

1. Sony

So one year after getting our attention and hopes we learned one more tidbit in the big journey of making WOT into TV series. Finally, our prayers (and curses) can be directed to a name – Sony. Now we can only wait for the next squeeze of information…

2. DISCORD

When there is community, it is inevitable some commitment for socialization to uprise. Some time ago there was attempt for Skype group. 2017 year is going to be remembered as the year of the creation of Discord channel where WOT fans of Tumblr to gather and share their crazy love even more. Thanks to the Balkan menace.

I hope new guys can join us through this link!

3. WOT artwork

And this year we continued the tradition to drool over new fantastic pieces of WOT art. On the frontline there is one name that was highly active and the main reason we die over and over and over…. @queen-serena  Her devotion is beyond admirations. She executed several fresh and diverse ideas to exhibit WOT characters like mermaids, pokemons and the extremely funny incorrect quotes. She is hands down the leading WOT artist of 2017 and many fans are won over her amazing work. She has done only this year around 80-ish pieces of WOT art (counting portraits, sketches, everything (+ pieces that were shown only on Discord)) and kept reinventing our beloved characters over and over and never got boring.

Another honorable mentions deserve the awesome projects of  @devkimiko and her awesome project to draw comic per chapter, the extremely realistic portraits of @michelletolo and the wonderful pieces of @phillowe and @meeppodraws.

4. Fandom archives

I put this little project of mine here as I can gladly state that this project achieved its goals and many forgotten/lost WOT posts got the spotlight again and were praised with the attention they deserve. I hope this journey back in the tag was as interesting for you as it was for me. Also take note that the project still continues in the following months. That is HOW MUCH interesting and funny posts have been created by our awesome fandom.

5. Secret Santa

Another year, another beautifully executed project of Secret Santa for the WOT fandom. I am really glad to keep this tradition going on in the fandom. The only downside was the relative low number of participants. Come on guys, join the next year!

Let the Light keep you safe.

Let us all hope they don’t blunder the tv show, but if they do then we fandom folk will manage on our own.
