Obsessed With Wheel of Time @wheelofbrainrot - Tumblr Blog

PBS posted this free on Youtube if you missed it on TV. "Exposing the Myth of Southern Charm".

Addendum 5/23/26:

The producer of this doc told folks on Threads that the actual title of this is "Natchez". This was a doc I was waiting to see last year, but PBS changed the name for their broadcasting.

I may be vile and pernicious But you can't look away.

This phrase has already entered my vocabulary re: media criticism where like. The viewer has a concrete view of what they expect a story to be based on the tropes and cliches they're used to seeing together, and when that doesn't happen, they judge it as a failed depiction of what they assumed it was going to be instead of judging it as what it actually is.

"This show is problematic because the hero didn't kill the villain at the end": When does he steal the bread?

"These two characters who were close friends throughout the series don't kiss at the end! What the fuck?": When does he steal the bread?

"This feels like it's missing a conclusion! Like, the protagonist does bad stuff and because of a critical decision he makes as a result of his major character flaws, meets tragedy in the end! Where's the part where he learns better and brings is love back from the dead and becomes a good guy and gets a happy ending?": When does he steal the fucking bread??

I heard this out as "When criticizing something, you must judge it for what it is, not what it isn't"

PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.

Here's the link. It was actually not immediately easy to find, so I thought this might help.

thoughts on EOTW (first time read)

this is going to be very badly structured its basically a rant .

ok so there needed to be at least two more nynaeve and lan scenes because when rand was overhearing them i was just as gagged and shocked as him. they had a bit of buildup but like it went from 3 to 450 in a second.

moiraine keeps saving them and then the three idiots go like i know she just did all this HOWEVER- . i get it but also like …..

i liked the rand and mat chapters. i was invested okay sue me. also the dagger literally poisoning mat but him still fighting back that long was crazy. he needs to stop doing dumb shit tho idk how long i can defend this nonsense.

i think egwene is going to be an aes sedai and perrin might become her warder. i might be completely wrong but i needed to put thus out there. cuz being real no way its rand. also im glad egwene and rand arent going to end up together allegedly. it was giving nothing.

also i liked nynaeve moiraine and egwene a lot. they felt like actual people. nowadays a lot if stories have female characters fleshed out in such a way that the main focus is on them being a girl and being able to do all this. these three felt like they were written the same as everyone else. i hope i worded this fine.

idk why egwene lowkey was mad abt rand being invested in another girl after her and the whole tinker boy thing. i dont mind her being interested in other people but i felt she shouldnt be mad abt rand doing that as well. however it could be that it was never that serious and we are in perrins piv and hes seeing it like that so idk.

im intrigued by lan. also i loved loial. i hope no one dies. and i hope min comes back too.

↪ Nynaeve Al'meara in The Wheel of Time Season 3 finale

imaginaryfigs

The Wheel of Time is one of the best tv shows ever made. Middle aged lezzies and throuples with powers and five bffs going on adventures and fighting battles together and getting separated and finding eachother again. Demons are responsible for its cancelation
