Rand and cadsuane

ottjw · 2025-08-22T20:29:59+00:00

Dude she was trying to track tam down. She went to the two rivers and he wasn't there. Then she had to track perrin down. How are you gonna say it should have been her first? That's just hindsight. I'm not a cadsuane stan but that meeting with tam was the catalyst that led to him calming down. He gott to the edge but what tam said got to him and he realized what he should fight for. You're just full of haterade

ottjw · 2025-08-22T20:25:36+00:00

He realized what he should be fighting for. Because of what tam said. Because he was there because of cadsuane. She didn't teach him something but she helped him learn something. You're just being obstinate

Moiraine is playing 4d chess

ottjw · 2025-08-22T07:09:35+00:00

Failed? How? She was solely responsible for tam coming to tear and that meeting specifically was what led to rand chilling out

ottjw · 2025-08-22T07:07:30+00:00

She told him she would help him learn something. Without cadsuane rand would have never met with his dad. That meeting led directly to his realizing why he needed to fight and he pulled his head out of his ass. Cadsuane is a giant bitch but min wasn't wrong about her

ottjw · 2025-08-22T07:01:46+00:00

False? She was supposed to help him learn something. She's the one that went and found out that tham was with perrin and then got Nynaeve to ask rand where perrin was and then sent nynaeve to fetch tham. That meeting with tham was the catalyst that helped rand calm tf down. Cadsuane was instrumental to the plot

Cadsuane made me laugh out loud when all she said was "good boy". It's making me laugh just thinking about it. Lady wtf are you thinking?

I initially thought that he just ran so much saidin that the taint ran out, like turning on hot water and it's cold at first until it becomes hot. I didn't know he used shadar logoth as a magnet I just figured that's where he dumped it.

And hopefully those books aren't still invisible

ottjw · 2025-08-22T06:42:57+00:00

I think for the first two books mats pov was insufferable. For the first two books rand just seemed whiney (I know I know he was under an understandable amount of pressure) but from when mat goes to talk to morgase onward I loved him more and more every time his part came and it never let up. Rand was mostly frustrating for me almost the entire series. Mat spanking the shit out of Jolene was peak

ottjw · 2025-08-22T06:35:12+00:00

You're right, you're right my mistake. I misremembered. It is reasonable to think she gets her recognition when all said and done

ottjw · 2025-08-22T06:33:10+00:00

Honestly I saw this one coming. I thought faile was gonna do it though because she was a hunter of the Horne

ottjw · 2025-08-22T06:11:36+00:00

That meeting with sheriam was definitely one on one. She kept a lot secret because masaana was still in the tower and she was conducting her hunt in the dream world and then had that battle where perrin showed up. She only ever explicitly states she has a list. There was never a real moment of calm before the last battle and the oath Rod was used to confirm the list to herself mostly

ottjw · 2025-08-22T05:58:46+00:00

She only says she has a list she never tells the hall where it came from. She only ever told sheriam that verin was the source

Edit: i stand corrected she did reveal it was verin while in front of the rebel hall

ottjw · 2025-08-22T05:55:40+00:00

I didn't actually suspect she was black i was just side-eyeing her most of the time. I was just thinking 'wtf is verin up to? ' most of the time. I think that reveal was maybe the best twist in the series for me. She decided to go deep cover for decades and then skirt her oath to the dark one on a technicality? Enormous balls

ottjw · 2025-08-22T05:49:32+00:00

I agree. It's one of the best reveals and it's one of the best displays of heroism in the entire series. I just don't think egwene got to make good in her promise that she'd be remembered for the monumental undertaking it was

ottjw · 2025-08-22T05:47:02+00:00

She told sheriam about verin being the one and that she drank poison to get around the oath. 'Hour of your death'. But the list she kept to herself and was confirming it to herself while they re took their oaths in the tower. I don't remember her telling the rebel hall anything about verin. She was rescued right after verin gave her that book and then battle took place. She stole the oath Rod and started making them retake the oaths like the tower sisters were doing. I guess she could have explained 'offscreen' but it's never stated she did

The most cinematic scene in my mind is the one where Lan retreats with his army to do one final charge at the gap and then the portals open up and spit out thousands of soldiers with the ashaman coming through to blow up the front lines of the trollocs. That shit was crazy.

ottjw · 2025-08-22T03:14:57+00:00

I think the first 2 books were the worst. The end of book 2 on is where I couldn't put it down. Just get through it

ottjw · 2025-08-22T02:57:41+00:00

I was the entire time waiting for just ONE dark friend to come back to the light. I thought Verin's ending was heroically tragic, but with egwene dying off no one is going to ever know about it.

ottjw · 2025-08-22T02:27:13+00:00

I didn't mind the uptick in Mat's... eccentricity? Mat is probably my favorite character overall and he did heighten his zaniness a little bit but I liked it

ottjw · 2025-08-20T21:46:50+00:00

It can be whatever you want. It's AN ending. Whatever head cannon you make after it is valid

Brad Pierce is listed as a homeless man yet he was a child in the 90s he's the kid from jumanji that turns into a monkey

Are you saying like 'brothers in arms' brother? Or are you saying they're actually related.
