Black queer girly who figured out she was strong the hard way. Now I have lots to say and I am not sorry about it.
OMG is Season 2 giving a villain origin story?!!!!!!

I’m sooo excited for that.

I love the complexity and nuance of a good, even humanizing villain origin story.

Looking forward to Season 2! But before I start that I need rest and to work cause I’m gonna do a straight binge. #WheelOfTime

Okay… I see the seeds they planted for a second season while still having a satisfactory conclusion to Season 1 story arcs….

Will they deliver?

Whaaaaaaaaaaat!? She lives!!!!

Not cool writers. Even though it was just minutes of despair. Not cool.

Nooooooooooooo not Nynaeve.

I was literally just rooting for her. Check the receipts!

Color me SHOOKETH!

“What about what she wants? As much as I love her, as much as she wants this, I know that she doesn’t.”

“That woman who doesn’t care about being a wisdom… that’s not the woman I love.”

WOW. Talk about an actual redemption arc.

Rand brought himself back to zero. #WheelOfTime

Rand’s fantasy is literally Egwene abandoning her power & dreams, becoming his wife & a mother & saying “you were right”.

It’s honestly so alarming & basic at the same time.

It’s unimaginative & telling that he’d wield power to make a woman give up her dream & act like she likes it. #WheelOfTime

Omg is Rand the original fool who started this mess?

Is he the reincarnation of the man who ignored the woman’s advice and broke the world for 3000 years as a result?

That’s a level of consistency even I am astonished by. #WheelOfTime

Ughhh thank god. I knew it.

I reject a fantasy reality without Blue Power Lady.

#WheelOfTime

Stop it. This is a dream. Blue Power Lady is not dead. I refuse to accept that.

Does Rand doing the self-sacrificial thing make up for the journey his histrionics drug us through?

I don’t know. It’s feeling like a no. Like martyrdom isn’t necessary. And feels like a deflection.

Just be accountable and live long enough to repair and do better. #WheelOfTime

“This is just an imperfect woman trying to remind her old friend that he’s not invincible.”

When has this ever stopped being true? #WheelOfTime

“If you help us, we won’t fail.”

“We will remain, to pick up the pieces as best we can if you do.”

Even in a 3000 year flashback in a fantasy world, women are cleaning up men’s messes.

That must be where the depth of Blue Power Lady’s exhaustion comes from. #WheelOfTime

I love a good plot twist.

I should have seen Rand as the Dragon from the start.

I mean he literally has red hair. Kind of on the nose.

Also, his emotional journey is inextricably central to the plot.

I was blinded by his insufferability. I have to do better next time. #WheelOfTime

OHMYGOD!

Rand’s mom is pregnant warrior lady!

He has to do so much better.

Your momma literally slayed while she was too many months pregnant w/ you. (Any months pregnant is too many for a fight in snow.)

You come from a fierce woman, you have to act like a Warder to fierce women. #WheelOfTime

NEW ICON ALERT!

“I definitely don’t care how you feel. You’re just another guy in another bar who wants something from me.”

New Bar Lady, say it from the mountaintop.

I’m starting to wonder what the writer’s room is like. Are there women w/ cool glasses in loose, stylish clothes?

#WheelOfTime
November 11, 2025 at 5:32 AM
Whaaaaaaaaat?!

Rand is the Dragon Reborn!?!

Ughh. Is that just shadow talk? Is this good or bad?

I need to process what this does and doesn’t mean. #WheelOfTime

“Not without you. I’ve already made that mistake once.”

He wore her down. The things women have surrendered to just because they were tired. It’s a real tactic y’all.

“I’ll come with you… (you) need a Warder. Do you really think I’ll let someone else be yours?” #YIKES #NOTromantic #WheelOfTime

“I was scared. I don’t want to loose you.”

This is the 1st true thing Rand has said.

“You need to go to the White Tower, become what you’ve always wanted to be.”

2nd true thing, but after months of emotional withdrawal, this is a crumb to say a self-evident fact. Not a hero move.

“I waited in my room for any hour for you to come and apologize.”

GIRL. Add that hour to the tally of sunken costs with this boy.

I want to be wrong. Because I’m rooting for you and want you to be happy.

But GIRL. Rand is gonna Rand. It only stops when you leave the room. #WheelOfTime

Ohmahgawt! Get it!

The vibes between Nynaeve and the Blue Warder feel grounded in mutual admiration and respect for each other’s energy and power. And I’m here for it.

I’m not even a romance girly. They’re not even gay. But I can root for this. 3D character development for the win! #WheelOfTime
November 11, 2025 at 5:08 AM
I’m rooting for Nynaeve.

The wall of misdirected energy towards Blue Power Lady took me a moment to see past.

But I do see a complex, powerful, inspiring female character that I want see thrive. #WheelOfTime
November 11, 2025 at 5:04 AM
Also have to say, I don’t like that Rand used a jealousy/ slut shame-y undertone retort to deflect from being called out for talking out the side of his neck to Egwene.

Can we normalize men holding each other accountable without implying it’s tied to their romantic access to a woman? #WheelOfTime
November 11, 2025 at 5:02 AM
Really, Rand. Really?! Jealousy is your conclusion?

The total lack of trust and respect for Egwene’s agency is outrageous.

#WheelOfTime
November 11, 2025 at 4:55 AM
Okay, I absolutely cannot with Rand.

The pure look of shock on his face when Egwene is like it’s not likely that Matt is the dragon is wild.

Really? Absolute disbelief? An unfathomable conclusion based on all previous evidence like not doing your ONE job and stealing an evil dagger? #WheelOfTime
