THE WHEEL OF TIME TIDBITS

Somebody says they like the wheel of time and youre excited so you talk about it and theyre like "yeah i just got through the slump" oh, not a fan of the slower books that's chill i prefer the faster ones too "as long as you don't mean sandersons nonsense" oh, thats uh... alot of the books.... but some people just like the simpler stories and thats fine "the early books are too generic" *flips table* My dude, the slump "8-11, sanderson did 12-14 AND you dont like the early stuff jesus is it just 4-7 you like?! "Ackshully 4 is too slow and too long" *Commits M#rd#r*

And Logain looks… deeply unwell. He was more together in the cold open. But after the cave and the cage, yikes.

I also love this aspect of their relationship. In a lot of pairings in the books there is at least the impulse to prevent their partner from doing things because of danger, etc., if not to outright infantalizing them about it (especially the men toward the women). But for Lanaeve that’s pretty rare. Nynaeve forbids this because she knows he would regret it for the rest of his life, even though it’s what she wants. Raising the Golden Crane is an even more significant example. As far as I recall Lan only keeps her back once, when she’s been having headaches from using too much of the Power—otherwise he’s there to back her up and to try to keep her safe, but never to stop her from doing what she believes she should be doing.
