Saw someone complain that Elayne only said she was the Daughter-Heir of andor because the show is bad at world building and is forcing exposition.
Motherfucker this fandom has been joking about Elayne telling everyone she meets she's the Daughter-Heir of Andor for decades. It is the most in-character way she could've introduced herself.
So in character! Drunk Elayne telling Thom āI am the Daughter Heir of Andor!!ā After he slaps her for insulting her mom. š
āAndor is hers, just as you wanted,ā she said. Calmly. Almost. āNone of the Forsaken are going after her now sheās torn your banners down.ā A dangerous light appeared in those blue-gray eyes, but she pressed on. āJust as you wanted. And you canāt believe sheās siding with your enemies. Andor will follow the Dragon Reborn, and you know it. So the only reason for you to be in a snit is because you think she doesnāt want to see you. Go to her, you fool!ā The next part was the hardest to say. āBefore you can say two words, sheāll be kissing you.ā Light, she loved Elayne almost as much as she did Rand - maybe as much, in a very different way - but how was a woman to compete with a beautiful golden-haired queen who had a powerful nation at her beck and call? (TPoD, ch.29 āA Cup of Sleepā)
Minās comment about loving Elayne maybe as much as she loved Rand surprised me; she and Elayne have spent maybe a week together since The Great Hunt and that week was three books ago (between TFoH and LoC).
However, upon reflection, I do find Minās feelings to be believable.
They arrive at the White Tower some weeks, maybe a month, before Egwene does and it makes sense that they become fast friends - theyāre both in a new place, needing to make new friends, and neither of them are shy.
Also, it is possible that neither have had any close female friendships before - that Elayne has been isolated by being the Daughter-Heir, and that Min hasnāt found friends she can trust with her secrets (or who donāt care that she dresses unconventionally). But because they are both accepting of those who are different, because Elayne has interesting abilities of her own, because Min doesnāt treat Elayne like sheās her future queen, they are comfortable around each other. Their friendship is all the more precious because they havenāt clicked like that with very many other people.
Another thing notable about Min is what Perrin says about her not liking her viewings being doubted. Min also tells Rand that she likes that he accepts what she tells him and doesnāt ask for more, and she is thrilled with the Aielās nonchalant acceptance of her viewings without treating her like a freak or trying to use her as a resource.
Elayne is just about the only non-Aiel person who has a similar attitude toward Min and her viewings.Ā When she introduces her to Egwene, she simply tells Egwene about Minās viewings without reservation or furtiveness, justĀ āhereās Min, this is a cool thing she does.ā Elayne accepts her wholeheartedly and innocently, like it doesnāt even occur to her that people might be creeped out by Min seeing their futures.Ā She also never argues with a Min viewing, unless you count her joking skepticism of the polygamy one.Ā Even Perrin, who is closer to Min than most, whom she loves like a brother, pushes her buttons with his doubts and questions.Ā Elayne, like Rand or the Aiel, has absolute faith in Min.Ā Once she begins dating Rand, Elayne is bothered by hints Min has given of viewings about sharing him, though Nynaeve and Egwene donāt take them as seriously, however strongly they would react to the reality of Rand being with more than one woman, but for Elayne, Minās viewings are not to be ignored or dismissed.Ā On the simple statement thatĀ Rand is bound to the three womenĀ āin some wayā Elayne is ready to suppress her monogamous values, because Min has said thatās necessary for being with Rand.Ā Most people would at least have askedĀ āAre you sure?ā to Minās annoyance.Ā
And by the time Min heads out with the embassy, whatever her private reservations, Elayne is making an effort to accept the sharing idea, affirming her friendship with Min in circumstances where they could not only be excused, but are expectedĀ to get into a fight.Ā Ā
Later in the series, though Min apparently doesnāt learn on the page, Elayneās faith in and acceptance of Minās viewings is a massive source of frustration to her inner circle. Even if Min never learns of Elayneās certainty of her survival, the fact that Elayne takes what Min knows as such an absolute is a consistent character trait that Min could well be aware of and as much a basis for her affection for Elayne as Elayneās gratitude that Rand respects her political acumen and takes her seriously.Ā
Donāt they spend some time together in Salidar too before Min heads out with the Embassy to Rand? And we donāt really know how much time in Falme after the events of the great hunt and before Elayne and the others go take Mat back to the tower. Though I agree her loving Elayne seems less realistic than the first sister relationship that Avi/Elayne build.
I wonder if this means Ishamael is going to be an advisor to the Seanchan. ngl that is a change I would really love; I am all for making the Forsaken play an active role in the world, and I love the plot detail that he poisoned Artur Hawkwing against the Aes Sedai and helped create the Seanchan attitude toward channelers
This is an excellent point. I forgot about that. Him with the Seanchan would make sense. And I definitely agree about making the Forsaken more active in the world
I was wondering if this sequence could be when they all go through the portal stone the second timeā¦ flicker, flicker, flickerā¦. they live all the different lives? Because why would Loial be with the seanchan?
Elayne is absolutely that friend who would help you hide the body.
Nyneave would yell at you and then help you hide the body.
Egwene would yell at you and make you stand trial for murder, unless she needed the body hidden, in which case she would take the body and hide it herself.
Aviendha killed the body and doesnāt understand why you need to hide it.
Mat would absolutely hide the body while swearing that, if he gets caught, he will sell you in an instant.
Tuon will judge the body for getting killed and judge you based on how effectively you hide the body.
Perrin would stare at the body for twenty minutes until the cops came.
Faile would complement you on being a real man for killing someone and talk about how great hiding a body is as a coupleās activity.
Rand would just channel the body away (and add it to his list if it was a woman)
Lan and Moiraine take turns hiding the body and absolutely trust the other person did it for a good reason. They grab dinner together afterwards.
Thom stages the body to look like an accident. He has an air-tight alibi.
This is not a theoretical exercise for any of them.
Siuan would tell you to row the body out to the fingers of the dragon and sink it in the water
Fuck Iām at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and Iām probably going to win a medal.
BURN BAGEL BURN
OH WHY NOT?
I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
Bagel what are your powers
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterdayās night ājust for fun and because I donāt want any bagel to be mad with meā, and todayās afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD
I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD
The bagel hasnāt let me down yet!
Sure why not
Agreed
Y'know, why not?
Oh God I hope this is not a hoax. EDIT: Fucking weird!! An hour after I did this I got a response back on some work Iād quoted on but never thought would happen. And the guy apologised for not replying sooner!! Fuck the bagel worked :-)
Come on fire bagel, do your thing!
OKAY THIS CAME UP ON MY ACTIVITY AGAIN. WHY WONāT YOU LET THIS POST DIE IT HAS BEEN 4 YEARS PLEASE
Someone find that post of that dude who gets stuck in an elevator cause that has this exact energy
@shitposting-hobbits-to-gallifrey
Exactly the same energy thank you my comrade
HI YES I ADORE THIS
I live for old posts that have been reblogged over a while
It has been 5 years leave this out of my activity
never
Monthly reminder to let this die
Daily reminder to keep this alive.
Never gonna let this die
Calling your dead mother paranoid is a perfect thing to say as a āmental health advocateā.My goodnessā¦
????? So we're just gonna pretend Diana didn't have mental issues at all. A mental health advocate doesn't hide the issue, they talk about it to normalise it. Do yourself a favour and Google 'advocate'.
Right!? Paranoia isnāt a bad word or some pseudo psych buzz word. Diana was paranoid; it was a facet of her mental health struggles at the time.
What a year this week has been.
Itās Monday.
It sure as hell is.
The earlier in the day Monday you reblog the funnier this gets
This happens way too often Iām afraid. Itās what the US did to native Americans.
Fuck Iām at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and Iām probably going to win a medal.

ā@LouLouLa10 Trip down memory lane, all from 2017. What changed after 2017?ā
Thank you to Scottish Snow on Twitter for these screenshots. Yes, what DID change after 2017?
Some of yāall really are trying to pull theĀ ātwo sidesā argument and I donāt know how to patiently explain that itās literally defending ethnic cleansing that has been going on for DECADES.
There are two sides, but it doesnāt necessarily mean both sides are equally valid or morally right. I canāt imagine what it is like living in that region and have to live in terror all the time; that losing your home is the always a concern and the threat of being murdered a daily possibility. š
I wished people that banged on about certain topics, especially if those topics involved their damn work, actually knew what the hell they were banging on about
The only ones that actually have round the clock protection are the main characters, HM, C&C and the Cambs
Other royals only get protection WHEN ON THE JOB representing HM, that includes Anne, Wessexs.. No job no protection
No the York girls don't have protection, they haven't for years and it caused a big bitch fit from Andrew.. since then he has paid for the security for his daughters (at least til last knowledge)
Also Scotland Yard is who decides who warrants having security, not the royals themselves
Read a damn book people
Great info. Spread the word.
Do you think Kate dyed Charlottes hair and put makeup on her for the birthday shoot?
Havenāt you heard? Catherine got Charlotte Tilbury (because you know, Charlotte does Charlotteās makeup) to come over and do an entire 3 hour full glam session for her baby girl. They decided instead of going for a āno makeup makeup lookā they would instead go for a makeup look that didnāt at all look like she had on any makeup. Like stripped bare, face washed, might be moisturiser and sunscreen involved glam.
As for the hair, Catherine took Charlotte to Richard Ward to get a full Chelsea blow dry and dye her already almost blonde hair even more blonde. The fact that her grandmother was blonde, her father is blonde, her mother was once blonde, sheās had natural blonde highlights for years and she spends so much time outside had absolutely nothing to do with the sudden hair transformation. It was all Richard.
Catherine did it out of fear that Archieās sister will turn out blonde even though her father is a ginger and her mother is a brunette. But none of that matters, you know?
Hahahaha šš¤£
#so did they miss the part where gatsby ends up floating dead in a pool and all the miserable deaths in wuthering heights#or did they miss that because there werenāt any chapters titled In Which The Sinners Are Punished For Their Errors#like. even if you require explicit moral instruction from literature itās pretty hard to miss the comeuppance in those.
āWhat I assume my teachers were trying to teach meā
Huck Finn is about a white Southern boy who was raised to believe that freeing slaves is a sin that would send you directly to hell who forges a familial bond with a runaway slave and chooses to free him and thereby in his mind lose his salvation because he refuses to believe that his best friend and surrogate father is less of a man just because heās black. Yes it features what we now consider racial slurs but this is a book written only 20 years after people were literally fighting to be allowed to keep other human beings as property, we cannot expect people from the 1880s to exactly conform with the social mores of 2020, and more to the point if we ourselves had been raised during that time period thereās very little doubt that we would also hold most if not all of the prevalent views of the time because actual history isnāt like period novels written now where the heroes are perfect 21st century social justice crusaders and the villains are all as racist and sexist as humanly possible. Change happens slowly and ignoring the radical statement that weāre all human beings that Twain wrote at a time when segregation and racial tensions were still hugely prevalent just because he wrote using the language of his time period is short-sighted and foolhardy to the highest degree.
Iām really kind of alarmed at the rise in the past few years of theĀ āand we do condemn! wholeheartedly!ā discourse around historical figures. it seems like people have somehow boomeranged betweenĀ āmorals were different in the past, therefore nobody in the past can ever be held accountable for ANY wrongsā toĀ āmorals are universal and timeless, and anything done wrong by todayās standards in the past is ABSOLUTELY unforgiveableā so completely, because social media 2.0 is profoundly allergic to nuance
please try this on for size:
there have always been, in past times as today, a range of people in every society, some of whom were even then fighting for a more just and compassionate accord with their fellow man and some of whom let their greeds and hatreds rule them to the worst allowable excesses. the goal of classics and history education is to teach you enough context to discern between the two, not only in the past but in the present
My mind just boggles at the āThereās Racism In That Bookā argument.Ā Yes, there is racism in that book, because that book is ABOUT RACISM.Ā The message is that it is BAD.Ā
My high school English teacher, who was a viciously brilliant woman, used to say that when people banned Huck Finn they said it was about the language, but it was really the message they were trying to ban, the subversive deconstruction of (religious) authority and white supremacy.
unrelated, but this thread is very, very good
This!! When I was in high school, the PTA managed to get Fahrenheit 451 banned due to āinappropriate content.ā They literally banned a book about banning (burning) books.
WOW š
Absolutely the best video EVER!!
