If you want evidence of Homosexual Brandon Sanderson, all you have to do is read Chapter 13 of The Gathering Storm.

"Why couldn't life be as simple as a sword match? [...] When men fought, they connected."
My psychiatrist: Homosexual Robert Jordan doesn't exist, he cannot hurt you

I love Washington State. I filled out my mail-in ballot on Friday and dropped it off at a ballot box. I just tracked my ballot online, and it shows that it's already been accepted and counted.

Voting should be this easy for everyone.

It's my last name and a play on a fun saying.
How did you pick your username?

I've been Naraoia in various places since my teens. It's a wee vaguely trilobite-like critter from the Burgess Shale, tbh, I just liked the fantasy-sounding name 😆

Semirhage 🔥 has always fascinated me and I can't tell you why other than I think she's a badass bitch.

Moghedien is a very close second, though!
Ok…cards on the table time.

Who’s your favourite Forsaken?

Mine is and always has been Moghedien. Can’t wait to see her in season 3! 🕷

It's not like I really use Twitter all that much these days, but I figure I should let people know that I'm over on Bluesky. 😊

It's not like I was using Twitter all that much, but I suppose now that it's fully a Bubble of Evil, I should get used to posting on here.

AHHHHH and I just managed to get an Advanced Reading Copy of The Eye of the World with the alternate cover!!

So happy with this auction, and congratulations to everyone who participated and won something!

Yayyy, I'm so happy to own a piece of #TheWheelofTime history with this Advance Uncorrected Proof of New Spring, undoubtedly the gayest book in the entire series. 😀

Thank you so much to @medievalguy for spreading the word about this auction!

They just finished season two, and they said:

"Again, the female characters had much more interesting plots. Perrin remained mopey and angry, Mat was a whiny bitch, and Rand went through puberty."

Take THAT, Robert Jordan Originalists, the show IS staying true to the books!!!
I just watched 106 with my partner and when I told them that I call it the lesbian gateway ter'angreal that only works for lesbians, they said:
