A Beginner in Every Way

[Satara al'Caelahn]

Rand frustrated me so much, but eventually he became my little cinnamon roll and I don’t know how.

Exactly this.

 

[Arella Mathara]

I've always liked Rand. Was gonna mention him too but felt my list was long enough, lol. He can be annoying sometimes but so are everyone in those books.

Welcome Laurien!!

 

[Lyndo Shiranui]

Welcome to Tar Valon, Laurien, an amazing avatar you have there! I am also in the City Council, don't hesitate to ask anything about the site.

So, which Ajah is your favorite so far? :shifty

 

[Maibella ni Rhoiden t'al'Varrak]

Welcome Laurien! Always glad to find another D&D fan.

 

[Aran Cherubim]

Welcome! Super glad to see new faces.

 

[Laurien Achaur]

Welcome Laurien!

There are more first time readers but they may be a bit quiet

I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like Lan, reader or non-reader, lol. And yep, definitely one of my favourites along with Nynaeve, Moiraine and Siuan. And Rand tbh. Nynaeve reigns supreme though.

I love hearing non-reader's thoughts on the show a lot more than other book reader's tbh so please share while you still count as one!

I also love rooibos and can't do coffeine anymore. Not a fan of traditional tea leaves so I am happy rooibos exists. I obviously has to use a insulated mug as I am Brown :brown_bunny I still drink cold tea/decaf but I do my best to avoid it. Especially now during winter as I certainly don't live in a desert

All of us on the City Council (Aintza's Minions) are available for questions as well

And wow this thread made me chatty in the morning

An insulated mug... Well, now I know what I want for Christmas. Cutting it a little close with that realization, though Thank you for the welcome, Arella Sedai!

Welcome Laurien!

Another if Aintzas minions checking in Please feel free to reach out to any of us on the city counsel if you have any questions.

I spent a few summers working in a bakery - I understand all too well the dangers of the sweet shop you mentioned. :suck Has it been very busy in the run up to the holidays?

Thank you, Melorea! And it hasn't been as busy as I thought, except for the night of the lighting of the tree in the plaza outside my store. Apparently Christmas Eve will be comparable to that. Guess I'll find out, since I have to work it...but I don't mind

 

[Laurien Achaur]

I began reading this thread, you see, and your introduction post alone made me so excited to welcome you - I mean... tea, music, voice acting, books, writing, and all of it wrapped up in such a great first post? What more could we want? And then I scroll through the rest of the thread and see all of that quoted above. I have been summoned in more ways than one, it seems.

Cerine, thank you so much for the sentiment.

And Laurien - welcome to the fold. Make yourself at home.

Thank you, Luna Sedai! I'll be PMing you in a bit here

 

[Laurien Achaur]

Welcome Laurien! :welcome

Like it's been said above, I don't think anyone ever really dislikes Lan. He's a stand up guy.

My favorite through the series is actually usually Rand. People give him a hard time, but I like him. Though Perrin was up there on my list during my last re-read. Egwene's journey is still probably my favorite overall story line, though.

Someone asked who your favorite character is, but which character is the one you're the most curious about?

Thank you, Satara Sedai! Now that question is tough. I think there will be characters I get more curious about as I read (I'm already much more curious about Egwene from reading), but as far as characters I've been introduced to through the show...probably Thom and Min. Thom just can't be dead after fighting the Fade; he feels too dang important. And that little taste of Min was just tantalizing enough to make me go, "Okay. What's really up with you?"

Thank you, Aran!

Welcome Laurien! Always glad to find another D&D fan.

Thank you, Maibella Sedai!

 

[Elania al'Manir]

Well, now I know what I want for Christmas. Cutting it a little close with that realization, though

I have the perfect setup for this. My birthday is January 10th, so anything I don't get for Christmas goes right onto my birthday list!

 

[Laurien Achaur]

Rand frustrated me so much, but eventually he became my little cinnamon roll and I don’t know how.

I have a feeling this may end up being the case for me with Rand, too...and I'm not sure why. Just a gut instinct

 

[Laurien Achaur]

I don't think anyone ever ends up disliking Lan, he's a pretty solid dude throughout.

Anyway, glad you found us!

Thank you, Alyria Sedai! I'm very glad to have found you all as well.
