I couldn’t make it to a protest today but this block print serves as both a love letter to #TheWheelOfTime and a message to everyone who gathered today to resist our fascist authoritarian regime. #SaveWoT #RenewWoT

A linoleum block print of Siuan Sanche from Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time standing in front of the Amyrlin Seat, shaped as a 7 sided wheel with an intricate lace pattern with a Flame of Tar Valon (half of a yin yang symbol) in the very center. Her hand is outstretched and her words “it is us. Us. We are the power. The light shines through us” are on the print. The linoleum print is in the bottom middle and two rainbow hued prints on white paper are side by side above it.

So #WoTSkies let’s get prepared for a #SaveWoT campaign to Apple because it’s too soon to give up on a new home for #TheWheelOfTime

It's not lost on me that the female-focused fantasy series is the one that's suddenly "too expensive" for the streamer that spent hundreds of millions for Citadel to flop historically.

Corpo assholes can't take away community. Our feelings, outrage, & disappointment is valid. But I'm still here, and you're still here. We're connected, and that can't be severed by soulless Amazon shills. I ain't going anywhere. Y'all are just too great to lose #WoTSkies

I’m trying to get work done but #TheWheelOfTime cancellation has affected me more than I imagined. I feel numb and I’m on the verge of tears 😭 Thank you to everyone who made it possible and the fandom who made it such a beautiful, welcoming place.

The Wheel of Time has been canceled after three seasons, and I'm pissed

It hurts my soul to write these words, but it's official so there's no getting around it: Prime Video has canceled The Wheel of Time, its sweeping fantasy serie

Sad news today for everyone involved in the show. Thank you to the cast, creatives, technicians and everyone behind the scenes who gave us three seasons of #TheWheelOfTime. We’re so grateful for the care, love and energy you put into it, and raise our glasses to you today.

We need S4 and the full 8 seasons because this story has so much hope, complexity, maturity, and resonance for todayʻs world. It’s more than an escape from reality; it depicts a reality many of us yearn for in terms of acceptance.

Thoughts after finishing season 3 of The Wheel of Time:

Season 1- Not great but not bad.
Season 2- This is getting really good.
Season 3- Hands down the best fantasy television I have ever seen. And possibly the best fantasy tv OR film.

People are SICK OF THIS SHIT. So many people. So sick. Of so much shit.

Nothing is a distraction. Everything is one person's last straw. The people most sensitive to changing vibes--politicians and right-wing grifters--have started acting like the tide is turning.

BE THE TIDE, Y'ALL.

Bury Your Gays is a specific trope rooted in sadism and the inherent belief that homosexual desire must be punished for its perceived innate sin - that is not what WoT has done w their central lesbian couple, whose love is central to the show's idea of justice and sacrifice

I just want to see all the things.

A meme with a picture of Moiraine, sword poised to strike again, and Lanfear, throat slashed, running towards a gateway with a terrified expression. The text over Moiraine says “Waiting for a WoTRenewal.” The text over Lanfear is “Me”

Like others I thought it was definitely the strongest finale of all three seasons, and finale aside, I think it’s one of the strongest episodes out there. Yes I had my gripes during the first watch, but the more I rewatch it the more I love it.

May I offer this meme about a song? 🎶

Elayne Trakand belting out “the Hills of Tanchico” from The Wheel Of Time S3 E6, arms to her side mid shimmy, with a meme of SpongeBob wearing headphones floating above her ascending to a clouds in a blue sky with a rainbow aurora. Words on the meme above SpongeBob say’ “me listening to the Daughter Heir of Andor perform The Hills of Tanchico”

Holy crap I missed Wheel of Time cast a trans woman as an Aes Sedai. She showed up in a flashback but her character does have a bigger role later in the story.

To me Suian’s defiance at the end was the most amazing performance in all three seasons of WoT and I think now more than ever her message about the Light rings true irl
Give Sophie all the awards pls 👏

I’ll be the lesbian minority to think that the killing of Siuan was the right thing to do for this adaption. Without Min in the tower to save her, how was she going to escape? The minute Min left with Mat, I knew what was going to happen & I was worried

Who wore it best?

I have to give credit to my partner who made me make this after commentary from him and my roommate during this stunning Lanfear scene in the season finale 🌙

#TheWheelOfTime #WoTShowSpoilers

Compilation of three images. On the left is an image of Disney’s animated Jafar from Aladdin. He is wearing a large round headpiece and a black and read cloak with large pointy shoulders. The middle image is of Lanfear from Prime video’s The Wheel Of Time. She is wearing a split black headdress and a black robe with large pointy shoulders. On the right is a dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park with a split head and frills extending from its neck. At the top of the image reads “who wore it best?”
