Black queer girly who figured out she was strong the hard way. Now I have lots to say and I am not sorry about it.
Feisty start to a sophomore season, which is always commendable to be able to follow a strong first act…
Channeling Mama Ru when I say I can’t wait to see how this turns out!
But now I need to attempt to salvage my REM cycles.
I’ll pick up with Episode 3 of Season 2 of #WheelOfTime tomorrow!

Ohhhhhh we got some new/ 1st episode power players…
And they’re giving theatrics and fashions…
I know should be mad cause the plot, but I’m a sucker for camp and a dramatic entrance.
I respect a commitment to the bit, the follow through & the understanding of how to communicate power #WheelOfTime

This is a rough breakup, Blue Power Lady & her Warder.
There’s an impulse to feel bad for the Warder.
But I don’t think Blue Power Lady did anything wrong.
She’s tended to her needs & communicated transparently abt where things are.
Again, when a woman does that, why are you mad? #WheelOfTime

Saying “I don’t want to hurt you.” NOT romantic.
Saying “You can’t.” Oooooff, been there.
“You can’t imagine how much of a gift that is. It’s so much more than I’ve had in a very long time.”
Worse than surviving BS is having it function as a baseline.
GURL, I hope you get free! #WheelOfTime

Dayum. Min just saw Mat stab Rand.
GAGGED. Purely for the poetic justice of it all.
Does Rand deserve to get stabbed? Probably not.
But his utter refusal to consider any facts when it comes to Mat and his choices is deeply irritating.
Looks like he’ll learn the hard way… #WheelOfTime

Not this meet cute moment describing how Blue Power Lady and her Warder met.

“Yeah, she looks like she’d be into domination. Those cheekbones.”
LMFAO. Girl yes!
Of all the reasons to assume that Red would be into domination, to lead with the cheekbones is a full gag that tickles my soul.
So grateful for the teehee moment! #WheelOfTime

If there’s judgment for Red & her actions & motives, I feel like that’s giving double standards.
Would she be a relevant, central, three dimensional character in this epic story if she didn’t have her own motives?
This is what it looks like when women get to be real characters. #WheelOfTime

Also, I really like how Red wants Nynaeve to know her own power.
Does she have ulterior motives? Probably.
But how often do people manipulate women by getting them to see how powerful they are?
It’s usually “You need me bc you are weak and look how nice I am for protecting you.” #WheelOfTime

I really like Red.
I know there’s a subtext of she’s “too much” or “too extreme” but there’s something beautiful about how unapologetic she is about her belief in a woman’s power.
Also, would that be subtext or just self-preservation and ambition if she was a man? #JustSayin

I feel my bias creeping up out of my soul but I said when I started this I knew it would be hard to have empathy for Rand.
Which I can own.
But I’m also like give me something, ANYTHING, to work w/ that would also be extended to a woman.
See why the Rand struggle bus persists? #WheelOfTime

Wowwwwww out the gate, episode 2 Rand is already w/ another woman.
And Egwene is out here mourning the ghost of the man he never was to her.
I really wish she would heed Green Power Lady’s advice.
Centering her own pleasure (which I’m not convinced Rand did) could actually heal her. #WheelOfTime

Season 2 preview looks like:
Rand gets a whole ass Hero’s Journey arc. And he moves on w/ another woman.
I hope that: 1. His personal development isn’t built on revisionist history. 2. We don’t have to endure him emotionally terrorizing this woman for being powerful.

Doesn’t mean he deserved or asked for it. I’m just wondering- did Matt Matt himself? #WheelOfTime
