Putting the books down for a bit to watch #WheelofTime S3. #WotSkies.
Can’t decide what I love most about these 3 eps:
Morgase is a right Royal bitch ❤️
Elaida, rightest royal-est bitch, is EPIC ❤️❤️❤️
The pretty-boys-Trakand, and their screaming fangirls, lol. (Gawyn even LOOKS like a posh twat 🤣)

Fan Event well worth staying up late & being knackered at work today! 🤩
The costumes / sets..
The Mega-Aes Sedai-showdown
And we’ve still got Elaida to look forward to!
Really nice touch having Rafe and Madeleine pop up in the live chat. (Show Egwene > Book Egwene yet again! 😂)

Here are the visuals to illustrate the parallels I found between shots in the #WheelofTime S3 trailer and artworks from Western Art History. These connections struck me because of my art background, but may or may not be on purpose. Classic art like these live in our collective knowledge. #WoTSkies

Logan actually not looking like such a bad guy right now. Taim on the other hand, looking like a pure menace.
The Rand-love-octagon?.. Aye so I’m with Nynaeve on this one. It IS ludicrous for all but Aviendha. Boot up arse needed!

#WheelofTime first #CownofSwords read though. (Spoiler) My favourite plot twist so far:
Big, bad, terrifying boss-bitch Elaida knitting when she’s stressed out. I love that.
I do actually feel sorry for poor old Mat in this one though - that Queen Tylin is a sex-pest and a half!

Holy shit, Cadsuane is a BIG noise isn’t she? This feels like the General-Leia-Organa-of-WOT-universe dragging herself out of retirement to dish out an arse kicking.
Still not sure whose, but excited to find out..🤩

Can’t turn around in Doha without bumping into a bit of Simsima limestone. Rough blocks used for landscaping/ garden walls everywhere.
Picked up a small bit from a vacant lot with a nice chert lens, and had a look with my crappy little pocket phone microscope. #urbangeology #Doha
