tbh, both Egwene and Elayne seem to be into Green early on because they think they'll marry their warders and for nothing much else. Later in the series, it makes more sense.

tbh, my best advice for this is start reading queer fantasy. I've recently read The Dawnhounds by Sascha Stronach and Metal from Heaven by August Clarke, and they were both so completely unlike anything else I've ever read.

BREAKING: Rafe Judkins speaks for the first time since the show's cancellation. The decision to cancel seems to be beyond the control of anyone who's worked creatively on the show. This has always been a studio/streamer play. #SaveWOT #TheWheelOfTime ❤️📖📺🤞

I've been asked the same question many times the last week - why was The Wheel of Time cancelled? And the truth is, I don't know. I wish I could say something clear and tidy that explains to all those who love it why it's coming to an end, but sadly, I can't.

What I can say is that the actors and crew on our show are the most talented and wonderful group of people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. And we've all been incredibly lucky to make something that not only was beloved by fans (and even critics! ha!), but was also watched by huge numbers of people all over the world, appearing in the Nielsen Top 10 for nearly 20 weeks, a feat very few shows have been able to match in the last decade.

One of my core goals in making this show, even from the earliest crafting of the pitch, has been to tell the whole story. Because the Wheel of Time books do what television has always done best - get better as they go. And as our actors and team came on board, they too could see the potential if we were allowed to finish this incredible story.

We made many sacrifices, both personal and creative, along the way to get to that ending, so coming up short feels like a devastating blow for all of us.

Much has been written about this larger trend in TV toward fewer seasons with less episodes and finding quicker ways to acquire additional streaming subscribers.

But I genuinely believe that this goes against the fundamental strength of television long-form storytelling. It is an art form, much like epic fantasy, which at its very best, gives people a place to go and spend time with the characters that they love year after year after year. And I believe there are executives, studios, and networks who know that. I believe that we will find our way through this current iteration of the industry and back to what we do best - bringing great characters into people's living rooms and lives every week.

Will the Wheel of Time get to do that with another network and finish the story? Sadly, it's not something that happens often. But it does happen. In fact, one of the reasons we first chose Amazon as a home for the show was because they were in the midst of picking up The Expanse after SYFY cancelled it. So, who knows, perhaps the Wheel of Time show will do what the books have always managed to do since day one - defy the traditional definitions of "beginnings" and "ends". I certainly hope it does - because this book series and these fans deserve to see the story finished.

#WotShowSpoiler #WotOnPrime S3E7 I am so, so conflicted. This was on track to be the best episode of the show yet for me (shocking given the lack of Egwene!), but then the last few minutes.... It's gonna take time to process.

Anyway, this probably won't even post, but the colorism and ableism in this episode bothered me a lot more than what happened with Rand or Faile It does not have to be deliberate for it to be true that there's a pattern of darker-skinned characters shown experiencing more brutal treatment

#BookReview2025 Real Queer America by Samantha Allen Good book! More memoir than deep exploration of culture and society, but one that does give an interesting insight into queer communities in red states. I wish there'd been some discussion of queerness not just in urban centers, but still good!

#BookReview2025 Celestial Monsters by Aiden Thomas I feel similarly about this book as I did about the first in the series. I would recommend it to the target audience, but my personal enjoyment was relatively low. 3.25/5 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨🌃❤️‍🔥

#BookReview2025 A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall There was a lot to love about this book. The characters were interesting and went through compelling growth. There's beautiful exploration or queerness and acceptance. I cried at the epilogue. But I just never quite bought the couple. 3.5/5 🏳️‍⚧️💃🤺

#BookReview2025 Finding Echoes by Fox Meadows I found the story interesting enough, but it took 2/3 of the book for me to get my feet under me and appreciate it. I would loved a longer novel set in the same world with more time to develop everything. 3/5 👻🗡️💋

#BookReview2025 The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas I really liked the concepts in this book, and I will readily recommend it for a middle grade to YA audience. But for my personal enjoyment, it just didn't quite do enough. I wanted deeper world building and more complex characters 3.5/5 🏳️‍⚧️🔥🗡️

And then Maksim and the Dain/Fain duo have a third leaf (that also shows up a lot in Alanna's poster). I'm not certain on what this is, but from googling a lot of different leaves, I'm leaning toward wild cherry. It could be apple, but those tend to be rounder than the ones in the posters.

A screenshot of the right side of Maksim's season 3 poster showing two out of focus leaves. Both are long and narrow and appear to have serrated edges.

A screenshot of the Fain and Dain poster for season 3. It has a cluster of the same leaves as the previous image.

A cluster of wild cherry tree leaves. They are long and serrated, similar to the previous two images. They do seem to be a much brighter shade of green, however.

An apple on a tree with several leaves around it. The leaf is pointed and long similar to the ones in the previous photos, but the edge is more scalloped than serrated, and the base of the leaf is rounder.

Barton Sedai @podanother.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Loial's and Alanna's feature maple leaves most prominently. Although Alanna also has a significant number of the third leaf as well (more in the next post). She seems to have the most mixed distribution.

A screenshot of the upper, righthand corner of Loial's season 3 poster. It shows swirling maple leaves.

A screenshot from the top of Alanna's season 3 poster showing 4 maple leaves.

Alright, I'm doing leaf identification research, and I think I've got some details. They all have a mix, but the ones that are most prominent/more in the foreground for different posters seem to be 🧵 Perrin's seems to mostly be oak leaves.

A screenshot of Perrin's season 3 poster focused on swirling leaves from the left. They are out of focus but appear to be mostly long and lobed.

A screenshot of Perrin's season 3 poster focused on swirling leaves from the right. These are more in focus and more clearly show the long, lobed structure.
