bench that i've seen is consuming me. thank u simone and ruta
how I find stuff to watch:
1. see an actor in a thing and like them in said thing
2. go through their entire imdb and watch stuff that looks good
3. lower my standards and go through their entire imdb again
still can't believe they went "Liandrin has a Man in Northharbour" and half of us went "yeah that's a Darkfriend not a boyfriend she's obviously a lesbian" and some went "surely not a boyfriend she's obviously a lesbian" and then Rafe chose a secret third option

my biggest inconsequential and tiny hope is that
#WheelOfTime
continues to have the Westlanders pronounce lieutenant as "leftenant" and then have the Seanchan say "lootenant"
@MistressOfNull
it's either peak old people ("she can feed herself if she's going to be so picky") or peak teenager (going vegetarian/vegan at the drop of a hat, can confirm that one from experience)
shoutout to natasha o'keeffe's father who inevitably filtered through an alarming amount of brazen thirst for his daughter in order to find the nice compliments to pass on to her

so the throne carriers (da'covale, presumably) all have their mouths covered by a piece clipped to their noses. we see the damane seemingly gagged entirely, and then High Lady Suroth with only her mouth uncovered... I'm loving what this could mean.
@sooyoungsbabe
@silvcrwings
I am still convinced that Brienne's ending on the show was as insulting as it was because her story in the books will be so linked to Lady Stoneheart that they had to make something up whole cloth
@tomatotolerant
@elmaxish
"enemies to lovers 🥰🥰🥰" when these books are wholly unromantic and not trying to be a romance and also they're about an all encompassing war and its soldiers
two years ago I sat down to watch the first episode of a fantasy show I knew nothing about because Lorne Balfe composed the soundtrack and it has changed my life for the better in countless ways

Ukraine got second place in the televote and had the widest disparity in the competition between the televote and the jury points I'm so fucking angry about juries rn
I can't wait for after probably over a year of speculation for it to turn out that Magdalena is a Falmen merchant whose stall gets obliterated or something
Happy Laia Costa day!
In 13 hours, we will likely find out who Laia Costa is. She is the only actor left in our unconfirmed category for season 2 of

my mother's most hated, most visceral rage inducing character, having now read all fifteen books in Wheel of Time, is Thom Merrillin, and you have no idea how much glee this fills me with
I've been lying to my mother about something that happens in Wheel of Time for months now and she's about to get to that chapter and I can't wait for the angry texts

between Mat losing an eye in every vision ever and now Dearest Siuan, we are SO getting the Ghenjei of our gay little dreams and I cannot Wait
plenty to discuss here but I think most important is to remind the dropkicks of Twitter of Time that Moiraine literally stabbed someone in New Spring
#wotbookspoilers
so we've got rainbow shirts, rainbow piping on her jacket, a rainbow scarf, and the merch shoes have a rainbow on the back and on the inside... fully expecting any changes for s12 to have even more rainbow (shoelaces? suspenders? socks? thirteen's amazing technicolour dreamcoat?)
and here is a (far too short) compilation of Jodie's expressions that was aired by a government owned and funded broadcaster, hopefully with audio this time
asriel what will happen to us all i can't bear the thought of oblivion I'VE NEVER HATED YOU it was simply the sound of lord asriel's voice she wanted to hear WE SHOULD HAVE MARRIED AND BROUGHT HER UP OURSELVES 😭😭😭😭😭
okay it has just dawned on me, seeing people think Liandrin is going to die this season.......... we have photos of Kate Fleetwood onset from her birthday two days ago
@nynaeveswifey
NO BUT IT IS FASCINATING
does she care for Nynaeve? is it just spite because she doesn't want this to be easy for Suroth? Liandrin succeeded in her part of the mission, and the failure falls to Suroth? SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT
#WotShowSpoilers
let's be real the only way we're getting queer Yaz is by revealing that she's in love with the Doctor in the finale and she immediately dies in the next scene
can you imagine. you're at the darkfriend social. important work meeting. and not only does someone bring their fucking kid. your boss decides to play babysitter.
Doctor Who in 2018: we're going for standalone episodes and no arc so people can jump in and out! sure, it's available online, but you don't need to watch it!
Doctor Who in 1963: missed one episode? good luck assholes it's not airing again and the next six rely on it
so can anyone who has seen Hadestown confirm if Dónal Finn is gonna get more costumes across two and a half hours of a musical than he did across eight episodes of Wheel of Time
so today is the first anniversary of

premiering on Prime - two days later, I started the show as I'm a fan of Lorne Balfe, and three days after that, I picked up The Eye of the World. and tonight, I finished my first reread!

they're putting that focus on who has a right to a voice and who does not in Seanchan culture and I just think that's a really good choice given it is HUGELY important and this visually cues it so well!
ntas plot twist: bradders is not, in fact, in south africa - he's just sat on facetime to disguise the fact that he is not in south africa because he can't give away that he's not filming dw because graham is dead
🏳️🌈 THE SIURAINE CUP - ROUND FOUR🏳️🌈
I CAN FIX HER
However you'd like to define it, which of the following characters from the BOOKS gives off the ✨Queerest Energy✨?
if a gay person knows the name of a showrunner for their favorite show, there are only two reasons for why:
1) they’re gay people’s best friend
2) they’re gay people’s worst enemy
there is no in between it’s gotta be one or the other
I don't know what people think they're accomplishing by telling people that the Wheel of Time books are explicitly queerer than they actually are but that's honestly just a recipe for disappointment
can wheel of time please hurry up and announce who meera syal and natasha o'keeffe are playing because i'm very invested in who i THINK they're playing and i fear being wrong
I don't know if there's anyone following me who needs to hear this - but the ATAR is a crock of shit. If you don't get a high enough ATAR to get into the course you want, you'll probably be able to transfer in six months in if you do well in your uni subjects.
Rewatching episode 7 - the absence of this scene is palpable, and the episode is poorer for it. This was one moment I've most been looking forward to seeing for years, and we know it exists, but we didn't get it. And I cannot fathom why, so I must ask,

hey uhhh

so this is

going into season 3 I guess
but I remembered that wall of headshots that got posted a while back
and uhh
Nyokabi Gethaiga is confirmed for series 3
pour one out for my housemate who just willingly let himself be subjected to an extended ramble on the pacing of Wheel of Time compared to the books, the way in which the show has improved the writing of women and of queer characters, and an infodump about Gitara's prophecy
an excellent thread on Siuan's absence in the show! and I'd like to add - we KNOW Sophie Okonedo had to drop out of His Dark Materials, which was filming at a similar time to WoT S2. her schedule was PACKED. it feels fortunate that we've got her at all!
the attached is one of my favourite quotes about tv production (from an interview with robert and michelle king), and i have been thinking about it a lot in context of

missing siuan. 1/?
never ceases to be funny watching the fandom explode over a casting that turns out to be incredibly minor. truly mindblowing how often it happens and despite all the reveals of who they were this season, we'll inevitably blow up like this again with more casting news this season!
ICYMI, one more season two cast member has been revealed!
Stewart Kenneth Moore, plays a character who appears in a "fairly memorable" episode 5 scene, "riding a black horse through a Czech forest in the cold midnight air".
Thanks to
@gaijin1973
, who first spotted the info!
concept: ryan and graham are horrified at thasmin becoming a reality because they've seen the doctor eat soil with that mouth and really yaz you've seen her eat soil straight off the ground why are you still kissing her
Wicked Germany 2007: Willemijn Verkaik is in love with Mark Seibert's girlfriend but also with him and it's all a bit weird
Rebecca Gesamtaufnahme Live 2022: Willemijn Verkaik is in love with Mark Seibert's dead wife and wants to hunt Mark Seibert and his new wife for sport
if you see me staring vacantly I am just thinking about Amy waking up to Kirsten and Poppy trying to talk as quietly as possible so they don't wake her while also being on each side of her in bed and literally talking over the top of her
anyway this is a reminder that you cannot both-sides a genocide, that if you don't understand the bare basics of what's going on this far in then that is an active choice of ignorance, and you don't get to have a tantrum when people call you out for not standing against GENOCIDE
not gonna lie, I feel like if you don't have time to watch a full season of TV, you don't have time to be sitting down and picking apart the finale of said show
a reminder to
#WheelOfTime
fans, readers or not: Twitter is pushing tweets onto timelines of people who don't follow you, so please, let's level up our spoiler tagging about books! nobody wants to see a Major Character Death when they're just going about their day!
honestly they're nailing the true spirit of

she was so convinced Moiraine was alive that she was confused when I asked her about the main character death in The Fires of Heaven and in that moment I decided to commit to the bit
@Rant_AlMore
also he was going pewpewpew :) while Egwene was about to fucking keel over from exhaustion, our girl was fighting for her LIFE and kept fighting
concept: thasmin watching nye fireworks from above together in the TARDIS, legs hanging out the front doors, Yaz definitely kisses the Doctor at midnight
I assume the conversation went as follows
"so we want Moiraine's family"
"so we'll cast her sisters - Anvaere and. um."
"um."
"uh."
"inn-loi-- in-li-- uh?"
"you know what she can have one sister now, what the fuck Robert"
