Sorry Rand, The Rules Are The Rules.

Sorry Rand, the rules are the rules.

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

i'm making a gifset and am dying at this shot of rand clocking that mat's gonna try to fuck dana and being Absolutely Done about it

something i hope season 2 really digs into portraying is how rand is a natural disaster. he isn't just a ta'veren, like the others, and he isn't just a boy, either — not even just a channeler of saidin. rand al'thor warps reality around him just by existing, for better or worse, and no person or place can stay the same once they've come into contact with him. one of my favorite things about tdr is how moiraine and co were able to track rand by the string of weird occurrences in his wake.

in fact i'd go so far as to say that's one of rand's most central struggles: that he's both a boy, with a(n eroding) personality and wants and desires, and that he is also a pitiless force of nature — whether he wills it or no.

Rumors of the slog have been greatly exaggerated

My hyperfixation was acting up again... but it’s alright cause we all deserve more mouthkisses 💙
