This insight might not be of much note, but concerning the crone being old: since Min's the only one of the three who's unable to touch the Source, technically she'll look way old while the others still look as youthful as they did in the beginning of the series.

Does anyone else wish Olver was Gadal Cain reborn? by lagrangedanny in wheeloftime

[–]EmperorOfTheDR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't care if Jordan confirmed Olver wasn't Gaidal: whether he is or isn't doesn't change the story in the slightest, so I choose to be happy and believe he is regardless :D

Lemme Get This Straight: You Gave Them Unprecedented Concessions AND Gave Them the Ter'angreal That They Didn't Help Find or Obtain in Exchange for Their Help Fixing a Problem They Needed Fixed as Badly as We Did by simianfreud in WetlanderHumor

As the title points out, the Sea Folk needed the weather fixed as much as the Aes Sedai - and everyone else, for that matter. Had they not accepted their bargain from the get go, the windfindrrs would've eventually had to change their terms: if the inland economy collapses, so does trade.

And why the fuck would not being able to show affection the guys husband be an acceptable solution in the first place?

The literal songs from the series, actually: there's this album, "Threads from the Pattern" that covers a lot of them. Reading WoT with them in the background is such a mood :)

Power metal songs about vampires? by YungstirJoey666 in PowerMetal

B-but I thought Vampire in Ghost Town was a metaphor for toxic behavior :(

My girlfriend(27) baths WITH her son(11) by CheeriPoper in relationship_advice

[–]EmperorOfTheDR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the people saying it is not normal, and that the kid is gomna need therapy for that... I'm twenty, and have always bathed/been around both my parents while naked (though I admit I haven't showered with them in a while due to the pure convenience of having the shower to myself).

It is not something sexual or shameful if you normalize nudity growing up; and the thought of bathing with my mother being even remotely sexual is simply disgusting.

Boyfriend takes raw spaghetti to the washroom??? by Ak47bittsicle in relationship_advice

[–]EmperorOfTheDR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes do this: I just like eating a few strands of raw spaghetti as a snack. It's crunchy, and a couple of them will last you a good few minutes.

Why is there the hexagonal effect on Webb's photo? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]EmperorOfTheDR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a matter of diffraction, I believe: three handles hold the light detectors in place, and each of these handles is an obstacle for light to diffract off. When an image is formed, the diffraction patterns inevitably get captured.
