The Trakand-Damodred-al’Thor-Mantear kids

Rand to Galad: Yeah? Well, our mother abandoned you! Galad to Rand: And then you killed our mother when she gave birth to you. Elayne to Galad, defending Rand: Shut up. You’re adopted. Galad to Elayne: Rand was adopted too. Rand to Galad: Oh yeah? Well I’m banging your sister! Elayne to Rand: He is NOT my brother. Galad to Elayne: Half brother. I am not your half brother you mean, Elayne. And yes I am. So yes, he is banging my sister. Half sister, that is. Gawyn to Galad, doing the mental calculations: So your half brother is banging your half sister and that's not... y'know..? Galad to Gawyn: Correct. We share a birth mother. And my half brother killed our mother when she gave birth to him. Rand to Galad: Goddamnit, Galad! Stop saying that! Elayne, to nobody in particular but maybe everybody: Idiot.

Hope this clears it up for everyone!

I’m sure this isn’t a new thought, but has anyone ever considered that Lews Therin Telamon was likely a total dick?

How many of the Forsaken went to the dark side because they hated this guy’s guts? The wot wiki says:

“Due to Lews Therin's power, envy overtook many of Lews Therin's greatest generals such as Tel Janin Aellinsar, Duram Laddel Cham, Barid Bel Medar, and potentially others who remain unknown and caused them to defect to the Shadow, shifting the war in favor of the Shadow.”

Yeah nah. Seems like too extreme a reaction to just be jealousy. If it was just one person, then sure, whatever, but it’s actually three and potentially more? That's a pattern. What’s the common denominator there? Yep. It’s Lews.

This suggests to me Lews was probably an insufferable jerk and horrible to work under. I bet he was a micromanager too.

In terms of abandoning the Light to join the Shadow, I think we all need to remind ourselves that people don’t leave bad jobs. They leave bad bosses.

And consider Lanfear's obsession with Lews? That kind of crazy-ex behaviour doesn't come from nowhere. I seriously doubt Lews was blameless in that relationship.

So if I was Rand, I’d be mortified if I suddenly found out I was the reincarnation of a total asshole who pissed people off enough they quit the Light and went to the Shadow. He should probably go apologise to the Forsaken on Lews’ behalf.

Of course I haven't done an extensive search of the literature to support this theory.

[semirhagesstudy]

I dont know if it was a significant factor in any forsaken other than his direct rivals joining the shadow but I definitely got the sense that Lews had a massive ego and was kind of a dick. Maybe that was why he couldn't be convinced to go evil. The dark one promised power and influence and Lews was all "Nah, I'm already perfect 💅"

ONE DAY BUILDS

Damane costume from the wheel of time

For a costumed party

Kindof a rush job, i only had 9 hours to do it from design to finished product so it's a bit wobbly at times.

The linen dress was the fastest thing to do except the sleeves which i did last and didn't even try on before going to the party.

The A'dam was particularly challenging ngl, i didn't have money to do it in fabric covered eva foam so the fabric is a bit shit but I'm still happy with the result for such a small project.

There is a hidden zipper in the front.

I didn't have big metal rings for the back so i made the black one by removing the core of one of my shibari ropes to replace it with an electrical copper wire

Alanna for this month's portrait!

I confess I don't really remember her from the books, but she is such a badass in the show. Let's fuckin' go, Battle Ajah!!

[Image Description: A digital painting of Alanna Mosvani as portrayed by Priyanka Bose. She is shown from the chest up in her turquoise blouse with gold detailing as seen in the beginning of Season 3. While most of the gesture is out-of-frame, her right arm is raised and her left hand sweeps to one side as she channels. Her mouth is open in a shout of rage. /end ID]
