Black Intellectual Thots

Omg yes. She really got it boots down. That was such a solid performance.

💯 so much more. The writers got into the psychological nooks & crannies of what that it is up close.

And ppl don’t just imagine that. Someone in that writer’s room understood this from some type of experience.

Better stories are told when we let different people in the room. Exhibit A: WoT!

The one the old blind blue lady said, but it was less a prophecy, since it was happening in real time as Rand was being born.

So you get me…. She just makes me feel so aggravated all the dayum time and then I check myself and am like do I really have a problem with literally magical Black woman standing her ground and not apologizing? And the answer is never and please do it more lols.

💯 facts. I don’t know how I missed lols.

It’s like he went to the salon and ask for the weak constitution / traitor look.

That’s fascinating. And I can see that just from thinking about her plot line in season 1 vs 2. I guess the WoT universe just got bigger and her size stayed the same. I do love her character and hope that I get more of her in Season 3 or at least when I start to read the books.

Ditto… these types of stories are my absolute jam! I try to create an echo chamber of women and examples of how they do this, so that it can seep into my subconscious and help me unlock my power too.

Ummm lmfao! I was definitely freaking out about that. But stepping back and remembering Egwene’s pattern of foretelling her own badassness will hopefully help in the tension building moments I’m sure will come in Season 3!

Wow in the ultimate act of pettiness, Dark One’s boy released the others.

And Blood Lady is scared….

It’s giving Season 2 is child’s play and Season 3 is next level drama for the plot.

I can’t wait!!! But also, this is a perfect stopping point - to be continued! #WheelOfTime

So all the Dark One wanted after 3000 years of existing was to die, after his ex-bestie cursed him to be forever conscious.

It’s kind of sad, and definitely dramatic.

But after 3000 years of trying I guess he probably felt like he didn’t have any other options. #WheelOfTime

OF COURSE.

Egwene wakes up just in time to fight to save Rand.

I feel like her timing says alot about her as a character. #WheelOfTime

Dayum, Mat.

He shoulda stabbed up close to be sure.

He definitely got got in a semi-obviously play. Well, Rand did.

Brutal. #WheelOfTime

Awwwwwwwwww Mat was a hero of the horn.

He remembered.

That was actually beautiful and I love this for him.

There’s definitely some deep message in there, about how knowing who you are and where you come from helps you own your power. #WheelOfTime

Dayum. I was bracing myself for deaths of characters and was unprepared for the dog / wolf.

That just feels unnecessary. #WheelOfTime

“I came here to save your life but it turns out you didn’t need it.”

No shit Rand. That’s why you were mad at her Season 1.

And now you just roll that into your faux hero moment.

I don’t have amnesia. I will #NeverForget #WheelOfTime

“Rand’s alive…He has shit hair, but he’s alive.”

LOL. Thanks, Mat for breaking that fourth wall. Couldn’t agree more lols. #WheelOfTime

Rand’s timing either sucks or perfectly represents how useful he is as a character. #WheelOfTime

THANK GOD. I love this turn of events for Egwene.

Yet again, Egwene saves herself. #WheelOfTime

Bracing myself.

All of these intertwining plot lines in the Season 2 Finale mean that some characters that I love are going to die.

I don’t make the rules. Just have a feeling it’s gonna happen. #WheelOfTime

Omg is this friend group about to repeat 3000 year old history?! #WheelOfTime

Dayum he killed the king and his peeps and they stayed upright dead.

#WheelOfTime

Ughhhh that scene was brutal!

So many loaded things between Blue Power Lady and Black Queen Mother.

I guess they stay unrequited, with lots of hurt. #WheelOfTine

Yasss mama!!!

I knew she would come through and halt her son’s perpetratin’ ass plans.

Now I’m nervous about the blowback… I hope this isn’t too short lived. #WheelOfTime

Captor has deluded herself into thinking this is the beginning of some type of love story.

Then Egwene right reminded her and said “I will kill you.”

Thank god. For a moment I thought they would have given us a queer “romance” tinged with the stain obvious abuse. #WheelOfTime

Not the crawl back to the ex when you in a bad spot, Rand!

Blood Lady: “Oh, I do love it when you try to manipulate me.”

Yass! If she wasn’t all about the end of the times, I feel we coulda been friends in another life.

The type that toxic baes don’t like bc they know she sees them. #WheelOfTime

I love that mom knew to snoop.

She probably didn’t like what she heard.

But at least now she knows her son’s plan and who he’s serving.

She strikes me as powerful woman. I hope she can derail this somehow. I believe. #WheelOfTime

Nooooooooooooo her nephew is on the dark side!?!

Sah-vahge……..

I am fully gagged. I did not see that coming. #WheelOfTime

Mat doesn’t strike me as the type of person who wants to know the truth about themselves.

Idk why he would drink this tea from the Dark One’s boy. For obvious not trustworthiness reasons.

And because you know your ass can’t handle feedback. #WheelOfTime

So the bracelet siphons off her power & the captor uses it how she wants.

It’s like the literal personification & embodiment of colonization. Her “natural resource” is extracted, against her will, for the benefit & at the will of her captor.

Sometimes art is how the children learn. #WheelOfTime

“And know that you are mine…”

Not feeling this still. #WheelOfTime
