Greetings 🙏 visited this forum as a lil kid first reading WoT and now tis time to join

I'm sad I missed DID Awareness Month bc we are an OSDD system {no amnesia} of 20 or so members - tight knit enough where we can consider ourselves one being, but also distinct. The best analogy we have is that seen as a whole, we are/I am like white light - and seen as alters, we are like that light split into a spectrum.

Some of our inner world is based on WoT spaces and mythology, specifically the Pattern, the Light, and weaving as manipulation of the threads of reality. It's an elegant and intuitive system that clicks with us - and that's honestly the main reason we have an affection for the series.
Also love Mat for being such a flirt, and Moiraine for being so bloody cool. As for Rand, we'd like him a lot more if him and his three puppy-eyed love interests would all stop fighting and form a polycule .. but I'm pretty sure that isn't how it ends {we haven't finished the series yet}.

LOVE love love what the TV show has done with the story. Just.. improved on all counts [except for Mat. not sure what's goin on with him story-wise]. Perfect actors and costumes and settings, beautiful tightening of the story - the frickin SOUNDTRACK - and hey, the men and women don't hate each other anymore! {the main reason we're having trouble getting thru the series 😂}

Our main fandom is the Maze Runner. absolutely rabid fan of that one. thominewt forever

We are in a weird liminal period of life right now.. our main energy goes to therapy and then art & writing and bouldering.
We speak to varying degrees Italian, Spanish, French, and toki pona {minimalist conlang that i try to persuade everyone i meet into learning}. and a few words of the Old Tongue thanks to the songs hahha[/ISPOILER]

It's great to have you here! Especially another climber / boulderer. There are some great places to boulder in the Texas area (Hello Huecos). I'm up in Utah where our climbing season is coming to a close as the snow starts to frost the mountains. I'm terrible at climbing; but I do love it.

You mentioned you're still reading through the books. Where are you at now, if you don't mind my asking?

BTW, be sure to check out our book discussion area, where we have some first-time read spaces that're spoiler free!

We also have no-spoiler discussion threads for the TV show, too.

Welcome to each of your selves! I hope you find a comfy home away from home here among us book nerds. :hug

What's your favorite TV show twist so far?

Edited to add: Also! How'd you end up learning so many languages? Was it necessity, family culture, location, or just a passion for it? I'm curious.

Merci merci! {ooh fellow texan! id normally avoid tx because.. politics.. but somehow austin has become our Home sooo here we are ✨}

Let me just check my PDF of all the books which i've split into three parts and put on my Kindle. let's see. i ammmm.. oh god rand is going into some crazy internal monologue... ok i think i m i g h t be on chap3 of lord of chaos?

climbing!!! 🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️ still don't have the gear, training [or arm strength] to do outdoor climbing so am sticking to my bouldering gym for now, but i hope to learn outdoors someday. Haha OUR climbing season i imagine is just beginning, because it's only now starting to be tolerably cool in the mornings and evenings

Welcome, Tobias! Thank you for that great introduction! (And your avatar is so cute!)
Thank you :pleased-1:

yeyy 📚📚📚 we're always fighting between our writing-and-reading-nerd identity that's been our entire identity for so long... and then the different things we're trying to branch out into more recently lol
but words just have this gravity to them, we always come back bc it's easy

Okay tbph I read the books very quickly and it's been a good while since I started, so I have only the foggiest idea of actual plot of the series. {We were mostly focused on picking apart Old Tongue and highlighting all the references to the workings of the One Power lol} HOWEVER. it'd have to be moiraine being stilled. i mean. not that it's my favourite bc it's b r u t a l but. ouch. Also love Moiraine and Siuan <3 pls let us get some queer romance in here - the main reason we keep quitting the books is that the men and women just hate each other so much lolll :'

Languages wise.. passion more than anything. We're pretty good at picking up languages and accents. Spanish bc it's useful, French was our quarantine hobby {to be able to pronounce the Les Mis songs} and Italian.. è bello. and toki pona is soo fun and really does change the way you think and make you look at the world differently
I did also fall for somebody who's bilingual in spanish 😊 but that was after learning 😉 serendipity. that and we were able to spend the summer in Italy as an au pair thanks to being fluent enough in Italian. so it's been a good part of our life ✨
And now we're considering learning ASL to be an interpreter

I lived in Austin years ago when I was in school (undergrad UT Austin, grad school Texas State), and it was a great place. Miss it!

Welcome Tobias! There is a climbing gym near me that I love to go to but I've never gone outdoor climbing like @Alexr al'Petros . There is a place here in southern Wisconsin called Devil's lake that has incredible climbing up the River bluffs.
