WIP: retirement 🤍

i took the creative liberty to give her a gray streak (at least in this wip) because i want to imagine that her happy future vision actually came true in the end and she and Siuan do retire together…

The Wheel of Time | 1.03 vs 3.08

[flo-n-flon]

In continuation of this drawing showing Siuan's hair going white from shock after her stilling, I wanted to draw and reflect on women and violence in fiction, and letting brutality and age and survival mark their skin rather than enshrining their youth in death and memories.

I have a lot of feelings about narratives exacting terrible violence in life on women, and then keeping them eternally young and intact in death, often elevating them as symbols, images rather than people, thus turning them into immutable objects of meaning rather than letting them live with scars, heal and eventually grow old.

One of the reasons older women are so important is that they live bearing scars and wrinkles like a tally and a stamp of persistence on their skin.

All that to say, I appreciated greatly the show's decision to keep on screen Moiraine's chest scar in season 2 and had great hopes for Siuan getting similar visible scars after her deposal and torture.

It wasn't meant to be in this life.

So here's my turning of the Wheel where they lived on to cherish the other's body that had gone through so much.

(The Lichtenberg scars on Moiraine's back and shoulders come from pien-art because Moiraine gets beaten up by the One Power with a notable frequency and gets back up often enough to earn cool scars.)
