WORD. I remember completely not even noticing that scene being a problem when I first read the series as a teenager. As an adult who is more aware of consent, I was deeply annoyed at how that relationship was handled. So add that to my wish list for changes: inject some friggin' consent into...

"Implied." :grumble I wanna watch 'em bang.

Mm, technically true, yeah. When I think "taking it in a more poly direction" I interpreted that to mean that the women would also have relationships with each other -- because the book's way of handling it does already technically conform to the definition of polyamory in that everyone involved...

If they're going a more polyamorous direction they're going to have to change "what it stands for," though, aren't they?

I'd like to see that, too! The feels. :cry

I love this. Sorcha Sedai, please tweet this to the show runners immediately!

I fully agree, Skaya Sedai. "Woman refuses to communicate and is mad at man for not reading her mind" is very high on my list of most hated relationship tropes. Part of me thinks RJ was trying to do a feminism by having her be a "strong" female character and have Perrin have to accommodate...

:lol Wooord. I don't think it was a bad story, but for the show it will be a bit tangential, IMO.

What do you guys think about what Daniel Greene has to say in this video? Link to Video I think you should watch Daniel Greene just in general — I enjoy his content. He also defends these positions in his video (meaning, he explains more about why he thinks they should do these things), so I...

Currently meditating on my deep and abiding hatred of office attire.

:lol

I'll betcha Aes Sedai shawls will suddenly be a lot easier to get. :) And I hope I can get a letter opener of Tam's heron-marked blade to keep next to the Sting one I've got! :yay

:lol To be honest I think this is why I never questioned it, myself. Are Sedai training and the early lives and responsibilities of the Two Rivers women forced them to grow up very fast and develop a lot of maturity before their time. I think I accepted that they would prefer older men because...

I got choked up reading that just now. Yep ... that's a winner right there.

"Humankind was made for uncertainty, struggle, choice, and change."

:curtsey Thanks everyone! I'm excited and very pleased to be starting in earnest. ^^

One of my very favorite things about the Wheel of Time is how different all the cultures are. Based on that and my memory of what was said on the subject in the books, the answer is, as always, "It varies." :lol I remember reading that, Atarah Sedai -- and being slightly surprised that I had...

(If the cost was reasonable I would also chip for it. I doubt Leilwyn and I would be the only ones, either. :) ) Although I will note that I switched keyboard applications -- I'm now using Fleksy instead of the built-in Samsung keyboard -- and my typing issue has been resolved.

:giggle Oh my goodness it's beautiful.
