Wheel of time season 2 spoilers + further book spoilers below cut
Moraine says they were never equals, AND THEN ACKNOWLEDGES HIS ROLE AS KING IN THE NEXT LINE!! literally "we were never equal because you were always meant for greater things than me" I'm ahdvbfkckfnrkgnnrkejckekeond

Going on a bit of a side tangent here, but I'm obsessed with how Nynaeve's dream world emphasizes the things she doesn't know about Lan as well!!
Potential book spoilers ahead! I'm trying to be vague but still
Rand got out of his dream by knowing absolutely that Egwene wants more than he can give her in the two rivers. But Nynaeve and Lan are still learning about each other. They're attracted to each other, and they respect each other, but we're still at the phase where Nynaeve thinks that if Lan could just see through Moiraine's plots he would leave and then they could be together. Yet when we switch to Lan's perspective we can see that he is seeing through Moiraine's facade (at least a bit)!
So what's the difference? What is motivating him to stay within her plan? It can't just be his loyalty to Moraine, so there has to be some driving force behind Lan's behavior that Nynaeve + the audience hasn't seen yet! This is just a small part of why I've been obsessed with Nynaeve/Lan for literal years lol the fact that they don't just know everything about each other right off the bat is just so *chef's kiss*
Thinking about the parallels between Rand’s vision in 1x08 in the Two Rivers with Egwene as his wife and Nynaeve’s trip through the third arch in 2x03 to return to the Two Rivers with Lan as her husband. They both have daughters showing the power of matriarchy and it’s prominence in their world. And Nynaeve and Lan’s daughter being named Elnore after her mother. I just need a minute.
YEAH!!!!! dreamworlds of domestic bliss in the two rivers with little daughters are something that can be so personal!!!
and it's so fitting because rand and nynaeve are the two characters most anchored in the two rivers. egwene wants More Than This Provincial Life, perrin has trauma there because of laila, mat does want to go back for his sisters yet also wants to get away from his parents, but rand and nynaeve? all they've ever wanted is to stay at home and take care of their loved ones. i'm fine!!
