Slizzdoeswot - Slizz Does Wheel Of Time

Wheel of Time plays the ultimate trick on its readers because it markets itself as this very “good vs evil” “the world is very black and white” story, but when you get into it, you realize that the true message is about the detrimental effects of thinking of the world in such opposites. In this essay I will—

Siuan: How you doing?

Moiraine: Not so well

Siuan: What happened?

Moiraine: I have this headache that comes and goes

*Rand, Mat and Perrin enter the room*

Moiraine: There it is again

its kinda funny that Nynaeve and Elayne told Siuan and Leane about keeping Moghedien prisoner and planning to torture her for information indefinitely, because they had absolutely no reason to tell them. like I know Nynaeve wanted to try to use Moghedien to heal them, but she could have just pretended she rediscovered miracles like they did with every Aes Sedai. they 100% were like "if we get in trouble for doing this, you're getting in trouble for being an accomplice"

but also I'm just imagining the scene where they burst into Siuan's room and are like "GUESS WHAT NYNAEVE DID" and Siuan thinking on how she gave Nynaeve permission to hunt Aes Sedai for sport and she came back with a Forsaken on a leash and she's internally like "well I should have expected this honestly"

Wheel of time is a silly little story about the world's worst chosen one fucking everything up so badly he needs a polycule to corral him towards being marginally less of a dumbass, while his two best friends become war hero wife guys, and also fuck everything up just as badly. Also there's a lot of hot women who I would thank if they punched me in the face.

Rand: this sucks

Moiraine: it do weave like that sometimes
