Yay for West Coast winter holidays
Happy times to you all, Moiraine's Worlders! -
Oh, Tosh!
Put the male access ter'angreal in the stick figure's other hand and it could be a dark-haired Rand contemplating atop Dragonmount.
With a Swedish flag... -

Yeah, lots of banners/icons from MW. Even one of Tamra, oddly enough.
I lol'd at the inclusion of the "[]D [] []V[] []D Siuan" and the old "Saidar - better than sex" motivational, plus the icon you're using as your avatar, Mierin. I wonder if the person who put the slideshow together can read English.P.S. "Moiraine and Siuan forever and ever" indeed.

It's been raining all day. This pleases me.

Some random lulz
... I'm probably not the first to notice it, but I thought I'd mention it: Page 161, Perrin has in his camp a "master carpenter" named Lyncon. I immediately thought of Lincoln and his log cabin. *facepalms* I don't know whether to blame RJ or Sanderson. Actually, I could blame both, if RJ put it in his notes and Sanderson was fool enough to put it in the book.Still not as bad as "Suffa", though.

Oh you really are having blueberry tea....
*giggles and sips leisurely*

I'm having:
Taken right from Galina's tent!
It's not bad actually. The blueberry scent is very strong. 
-
I finished my book!
Oh, wow. Congrats, Jan!
*sets off celebratory fireworks she stole from the Illuminators* -
Happy Turkey Day, Moiraine's World!

I just went and watched the first 5 min of that movie on YouTube, Tosh.
I can see what you mean! 
-
Why don't I ever have time to write a good essay? WHY?!
Because you're too busy reading WoT and going on drunken, debauched raids of the library.

Random: What is up with Google's obsession with Sesame Street? Last like FOUR days the front page has been honoring the show's 40th anniversary! Get over it already.

You should sue him for being such an obvious health hazard, Kaitlin.

Ituralde's lover isn't identified as male or female. There's no way to tell whatsoever, but if you are going by the description of the dandy than that's no proof at all. Delicacy or appreciation of fashion isn't limited to gay males and women. It's perplexing to me why you would seem to even consider that, to be honest? idk.
My mistake was interpreting "his love" as meaning his emotion of love, not "his love" being a person like everyone else interpreted it as (which now that you've all pointed it out to me I realize is probably what Sanderson was going for, damnit), which is where my confusion came from. I thought "he lost his first love to a man" meant the man had rejected Ituralde's love/broken his heart, or that it was a nicer euphemism for "lost his virginity". It had nothing at all to do with the description of the man.
I don't see why considering that interpretation would be so perplexing. Just a semantics mistake on my part, I guess. -
Watching a Nazi movie called The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas on YouTube. Very sad

OK see, I think we are reading that quote completely differently.That was my point. I do not read any male loving. I read Rodel Ituralde loved a woman who left him for another man with soft hands. I even looked up the page directly and still feel that way.
Ohhhh, I see what you mean!
Yeah, now that you've pointed it out to me I can see that sentence could have two completely different meanings. I guess I see the world with Gay-o-Vision. =X I thought it meant he lost his love to the man because the man broke his heart, or because he couldn't have his love in the way he wanted, a little like Lan's mashiara. Well, maybe it is wishful thinking but I still prefer to stick to my first interpretation. -
A semi-important male character loving (and implied sleeping with) another male character is the most gay we have seen in WoT so far, is my point. I wonder if that was RJ or Sanderson's idea? In any case, I liked it.
-
Did you make plans with her? Yeah, let us know!
Our first date was yesterday and it went well.
She wants to take things slow and that is fine with me! I am still happy she even wants to date me. edit: I don't know where to respond to ppl's status updates.
Why are you feeling depressed, Jan? And why are you feeling ignored, Marie? 
-
What the hell, people.
I wasn't talking about the innkeeper. How could you miss it? Page 42: Rodel Ituralde's mother, now thirty years bured in the clay hills of his Domani homeland, had been fond of a particular saying: "Things always have to get worse before they can get better." [...] She'd said it when he'd lost his first love to a lordling who wore a hat with feathers and whose soft hands and jeweled sword had proven he'd never known a real battle. -
I had thought your interests lay elsewhere than boobs, Vertex.

I'm wandering does the oath road allow for sarcasm or is still a lie? And in that case is it simply a mistake Sanderson made or is Caddy not sworn to the three oaths
I vaguely recall reading RJ saying that the Oath Rod doesn't cover figures of speech, like "I'm going to drag you through a knothole backwards", so maybe that means it doesn't cover sarcasm either. I'm trying to think of any time in WoT proper that an AS used sarcasm but none springs to mind.
Maybe you are right and it's a mistake by Sanderson, though I do think Cadsuane is still sworn - I think Verin now owns the awesomeness behind revealing she's not sworn by the oaths, so in my opinion it would be a little anticlimactic to have Cadsuane pull that same trick. Good catch in any case, Ekho. -
Elayne was tolerable until I started picturing her with puffy, curly blonde hair, at which point she became a powerpuff girl.

I asked my crush out today and she said yes!!

Hello, new member!
Always nice to see more Moiraine/Siuan fans. 
This oneshot was certainly angsty, but it wasn't at all bad. Your use of imagery was good, and it's refreshing to see that you've stuck to your own style rather than mimicking RJ's like a lot of fanfiction writers (not that I'm criticizing them; I do that myself too). I hope to see some more Moiraine/Siuan from you, and maybe some non-angsty fics too. 
Welcome to Moiraine's World!
