A Wheel Of Time Sideblog

A home for the obsession currently taking over my mind like Saidin madness. Spoilers abound! For both books and show.

i mentioned a few weeks ago about being curious about how much of WoT is from a man's pov vs a woman's so behold. a good normal way to spend three hours of my time:

out of 4,366,132 (a little off the full word count bc one genderless character and some narration and quotes), 46.2% is from a woman's pov and 53.8% is from a man's pov. honestly pleasantly surprised it was that even considering Rand very much dominates the narrative of the first few books.

(also. interesting to note that the books commonly referred to as The Slog all have more povs from women than men. hm. i wonder why.)

Oh, what I would give for the entire wot series written from the pov of Verin Mathwin.

(Probably $15.99 plus shipping and handling, but you know what I mean.)

Random WoT textposts (again). Like, no theme whatsoever.

(half of these are about Moiraine because can you blame me? she's memeable)

"average aes sedai mentions fish 3 times a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average aes sedai mentions fish 0 times per year. Fishes Siuan, who grew up in Tear & mentions fish over 10,000 times each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Do you ever think about how after a few decades into the fourth age new novices will enter the white tower, and they’ll hear stories of the Battle Armylin, the woman who reforged a broken tower, protected them from Seanchen enslavement, and was key to leading and winning the Last Battle. They won’t know her, they’ll have never met her since she died before they were born. But the novices will reach nineteen years old and learn that the woman who bore the heaviest burden of any Armylin was the same age as them when she reversed baelfire and turned an entire army to Crystal. She was their age when her very body was turned into a beacon of light that destroyed one of the forsaken and helped give the armies of light a chance at victory. Do you think the white tower erected statues in her honor? Or a stained glass window? Or a portrait? Or is the only reminder of her quiet whispered stories in Novice and Accepted quarters, and a stained glass window of a rose behind the Armylin Seat filling a wound left on the tower from a distant memory of an attack on the heart of Tarvalon? Do the Aes Sedai who lived past that day call her Egwene Sedai? Mother? Egwene Al’vere? Do Novices beg Nynaeve Sedai to tell them stories of the Battle Armylin? Do Elayne’s children ask their mother about her in the same breath that they ask about their father the Dragon Reborn? Do the Al’vere’s keep a picture of her up in the common room of the Winespring that remains there long after her parents pass? Does Emmonds Field still talk about the girl from their village who became Armylin at nineteen and saved the White Tower? Is she only the Battle Armylin to them, or is she still that girl from the Two Rivers?

I like to think that when all of the Emonds Fielders at the battle get home, the Winespring quietly gets renamed Egwene's Rest. There is no discussion of calling it Amyrlin's Rest. The sign has a picture of a young woman reading a book while braiding her hair. Or possibly un-braiding it. It's impossible to tell, really. It was done for free by a young man who was passing through. The likeness is uncanny, even though he can't have met the subject. It's also very difficult to figure out how he did it as it never gets affected by weather or age or dust or even that time an errant arrow hit it and still looks freshly painted even decades later.

verin just casually confronting moiraine and siuan with their biggest secret and only considering that she's technically discovered treason when it's pointed out to her by the perpetrators is so funny

woman who KNOWS how to prioritize

Liandrin: Gatekeep, girlboss, and what's the other one again?

Moiraine: There isn't another one. You're crazy.

"I asked chat gpt" Well asked Moiraine Sedai and she said "the wheel weaves as the wheel wills" and it was equally as enlightening
