#WoTSkies #WheelOfTimeSeason3 Can we all agree there’s no way Borderland blade bae doesn’t gonna raise the banner, grab her Maiden crew, gather an army, and march into that Whitecloakkk camp to demand her man back? Bonus points if she gets to stab Child Bieber again. Luc, too, for good measure.
Faile at the end of the bloody Battle for Emond’s Field, her jaw tight with anger. She stands in the village square framed by her two Maidens, Bain and Chiad to her right and Maksim and Alanna to her left. The blood on her face isn’t just for show—she’s eager to get her hands dirty, and doesn’t have Perrin’s gentle streak.

#WoTSkies #WoTShowSpoilers Ep 307 - The way we’re all trying to figure out if this was a Hodor moment or a Gandalf moment… Me: “It’s still fine, right? We’re fine, because he’s just going back through. That’s why we’re destroying the bridge, not the Wayga—” . . . . “—I KNOW HE DID NOT JUST FALL.”

#WoTSkies #WheelOfTimeSeason3 #WoTShowSpoilers Ep 6 Theory: Thom will recognize Elayne or Mat in Tanchico, and will tell them where the Black Ajah is hiding. He’ll have heard about the wedding and will be on the lookout for Aes Sedai, and Darkfriends. 🎇 Bonus points if he introduces Mat to Aludra
Min, Mat and Elayne (and Nynaeve in a separate image) walk through the dangerous streets of Tanchico. They are disguised in Taraboner clothes, with their faces veiled to follow custom and hide their identities. The markets are filled with merchants selling all manner of wares, including Illuminators selling fireworks.

#WoTSkies #WoTShowSpoilers #WheelOfTimeSeason3 So Elaida used Min to get a Sittership, yeah? ♥️⚪️💙 Fails to bribe the Reds, knows she’ll need to usurp them ⬇️ Clocks Min as Siuan’s ⬇️ Baits Min by dropping two truths: Elaida is a seer & she’s planning to call a vote to depose the Amyrlin (cont)
Elaida Sedai stares down the Amyrlin in the Hall. She’s wearing a deep red gown with grand gold earrings and a large jeweled necklace. Her sight smile is calculating and determined.Siuan Sanche looks at Liandrin, completely unimpressed and unthreatened. Her Tairen tattoo is purposefully visible amidst the layers and layers of gold. These were the last moments before her control as the Amyrlin Seat crumbled. Min Farshaw watches Galad and Gawyn spar in the Warder’s yard as she drinks. She’s dressed in white as a servant of the Tower as she spies for Siuan. She is haunted by the images of death and battle she’s been seeing in Tar Valon, and leans on her old vice: alcohol. Leane looks at Liandrin with bottled rage. She wears blue as Keeper instead of her traditional neutral tones as a slight to the Reds and to Liandrin specifically. She will vent her anger on the traitors that come for her Mother.

AND HER NECKLACE 😭😭😭 They’re coming for my mental health with this one.
Reply comment by @wanderingsylph regarding Egwene’s Accepted Test necklace: “@bs_cal it's an opal, a rainbow gem which is the national gemstone of Australia. Madeline is Aboriginal
Australian. The rainbow necklace is also a nod to how the Amyrlin seat wears a stole that contains all colours in the books because the Amyrlin is meant to
represent all Ajahs. Finally the stone has a
‘vein of gold’ running through it, which is a reference to one of the most beautiful scenes in the later book series. A LOT of symbolism in just one necklace.”Selfie shot of Ceara Coveney (Elayne), Madeleine Madden (Egwene), and Zoë Robins (Nynaeve). In Egwene’s Accepted Test, as Amyrlin, she wears a gold dress with reflective golden flames and a large opal with veins of gold at her throat. The armor that bends back from around her neck is reminiscent of her breaking out of the Seanchan a’dam. 

Elayne’s gold armor has a rose for the Rose Crown of Andor, and she wears green for her pledged ajah. Her hair is braided in a ring atop her head, in place of her actual crown.

Nynaeve wears silver armor and bright yellow pants with a flower pattern, for her pledged ajah. Her horse also has silver flowers in its bridle, a nod to her healing arts, though she doesn’t wear a Two Rivers braid or the Wisdom’s belt.

She wears a Two Rivers braid and a gold Aes Sedai ring overtop her riding gloves.A second angle in the same setting. The gold detailing on her Amyrlin gown catches the light.

Cairhienin known for being quite pale, so appreciate the extra costuming detail of Moiraine’s hat while she’s in the Waste. She lookin cute, playing Daes Dae’mar with the Aiel. Definitely keeping her House hidden in the Waste, tho. Forget wetlanders, she’s a whole Treekiller. #WheelOfTimeSeason3

#WoTSkies #WheelOfTime #WoTShowSpoilers #WheelOfTimeSeason3 Alviarin stone cold—all that and she didn’t even B L I N K. Blowing up your spot over some petty nonsense?? Couldn’t be her. Also, does the One Power…do dry cleaning? The Whites gotta have a secret weave for stain removal, because how…?
Three stills from the same scene sit stacked on top of each other in order of appearance. In each one, the same White Sister can be seen calmly watching chaos, her hands folded before her. In white letters atop the images reads, “who’s the coldest…”

In the first image, Alviarin can be seen turning to watch Alanna in the hallway. In the second, she enters the Hall with the other Sitters of her Ajah. In the third, she sits quietly observing Liandrin’s trial with an almost two-serene expression. Three still images from two different scenes, Liandrin’s trial and Egwene’s Accepted Test. Alviarin can be seen in all of them, with the same dress, earrings and hair. In white text over the images, from top to bottom, it reads: “…of them all”.

In the first, it’s unclear if Alviarin is sharing a look with her fellow White Sitter or looking past her at another Aes Sedai in the circular Hall. In the second photo, she throws up her hands as blood splatters all over her dress and the stone seats behind her. In the third, Egwene emerges from her Accepted Test covered in blood and Alviarin doesn’t react, just stands there with her hands clasped. Still image from the Wheel of Time Season 3 cold open, where Alviarin sits in the Hall of the White Tower. She wears a pure white asymmetrical dress and cape, with chunky hoop earrings of the same color. Her raven black hair is neatly braided in two low buns, giving Princess Leia at fashion week.

Surrounded by the dunes of the Three-Fold Land, Rand looks suspiciously over his shoulder with his fists balled tight.

His image is smeared and blurred as Mat tries to pull his broken pieces and shattered memories back together.

Call me Verin, #WoTSkies , cuz I’m making a list… #WoTBookSpoilers #WoTShowSpoilers #WoTSeason3 ✅ Confirmed: Joiya, Ispan, Chesmal, Jeaine, Nyomi (Eldrith?) 🤔 Assumed: Amico, Temaile, Faolin or Rianna (RIP) ❌ Unknown: S1 Red Sister?? ———— ♥️ The Other Reds, based PURELY on vibes: Teslyn, Pevara
Still image of Liandrin linking with the other Black Ajah Sitters to overpower the Amyrlin in the Wheel of Time S3 cold open. Liandrin is dressed in red and black with blood smeared over her face in a joker smile as fiery weaves of the surround her. White text at the bottom reads “Liandrin’s Black Sisters”.Split screen of 6 Aes Sedai images from the Wheel of Time Season 3 cold open teaser. Liandrin’s defectors are all dressed in the colors of their Ajah with their names below in white text: Joiya (Gray), Ispan (Blue), Amico and Chesmal (Yellow), Jeaine (Green) and Nyomi (Brown). Split image with 3 Aes Sedai and an image of 7 Black Ajah standing in the streets of Tar Valon, ready to battle. Some look smug, others look serious, and Liandrin is still burned and bloody from facing the Amyrlin.

I attempted to identify each of the Tower defectors, using the series to make educated guesses. Left to right on the top, an unknown Red Sister from Season 1 in military-style red clothing. The White Sitter with the textured high-collar was killed by Leane in the Hall. The smiling woman in the back looks like a Gray Sister, so it’s probably Temaile.Split image of Aes Sedai Sitters of all ajahs walking into the Hall.

What a dark day to be an American. I have to imagine #WoTSkies is filled with people who are equally disturbed by what’s happened, what comes next… ✨ Remember Rand’s #TarmonGaidon speech: WE are the ones who still fight. ✨ Hold onto Egwene’s courage and words: “Am I not allowed to be a hero, too?”

It’s this one for me: "Why no oath to obey the Amyrlin? If that simple promise were part of all of us, how much pain and difficulty could we have avoided? Perhaps some revision is in order." — Elaida (The Gathering Storm) Wild experience to watch Orange Elaida steal actual Elaida’s playbook. 🤡

Season 1 though Season 3 posters 😙😍😁 Oh, how far we’ve come, #WoTSkies ! 🥹 Release date will be announced THIS SATURDAY…but ya’ll already knew that. I am ✨hungry✨ for that trailer. I want Elaida, I want Faile, I want Forsaken. Hope Rafe’s coming correct this holiday season. 🫡 #GloryToTheBuilders
Season 1 poster for Wheel of Time featuring Moiraine stepping into a crumbling Waygate.The wind whips at her deep blue cloak and curling brown hair as she looks back over her shoulder. The stormy skies through the columns form a vague Aes Sedai symbol while golden weaves overtake the foreground. The Wheel of Time logo and serpent is centered at the top, the release date (Nov 2021) is displayed at the bottom beside the Prime Video logo.The Spine of the World mountain range separates Moraine from the ta’veren and Lan. Moraine stands before everyone with her knife drawn, looking wary. Framed by a golden rising sun (Cairhien?), Lan, Nynaeve and Egwene stand to the left while Rand, Perrin and Mat are to the right. Weaves of air encircle the two novices and run offscreen, as do the tainted weaves of fire around Rand. Lan draws his sword behind Nynaeve, Perrin’s eyes have gone golden, and Mat finally stands with his friends. At the bottom is the Wheel of Time text.Season 3 first look poster of the Aiel Waste, with sand-swept dunes and a circle of 40ish spears stuck upright. In the middle, Rand cradles a tattered Moraine as he carries her away from a rising sun (Rhuidean?). Her Aes Sedai ring visible beside what appears to be a new signet ring for Rand. At the top, the quote “The Wheel of Time is blazing a new path for fantasy on television.” At the bottom, The Wheel of Time text sits above the prime logo.Wide shot of the Season 3 poster of Rand and Moraine in the Waste, with the promotional text removed.

#WoTSkies #WoTSpoilers #WoTSeason3 “One of them?” Lanfear snarled. “Which is Aviendha?” Add the emoji that captures your feels: 😱🫣🤯😬🫨😵‍💫😨😭 Are those faint tattoos I see?? Or a post-igloo glow, perhaps? Avi in her Wise Ones drip, showing she’s a LOT more dangerous than you think.
A blue sky above a stretch of dunes and desolate sand, Aiel spears stick out of the ground in a circle, and at the center is Rand and Aviendha. She has her face tucked against his shoulder as he carries her, her hand lovingly holding his. She has her Wise Ones skirts and blouse and her hair down, marking her as a channeler. At the top is a Vulture quote: “The Wheel of Time is blazing a new path for fantasy on television.”

#WoTSkies #WheelOfTime #WoTSelfieSunday Goat-kisser 🐐💋 ^ when you understand the assignment Also included a list of Wheel of Time swears across time, space and culture, color-coded for the characters that use them. We’d better get a “mother’s milk in a cup” from Elayne in S3, emoji if you agree:🥛
Me (auburn hair, thick-rim nerd glasses, navy bomber jacket) holding and kissing a young white earless, hornless goat in his barn. Taking advantage of some animal therapy—but don’t worry, it was consensual. These kids love to cuddle. A list of Wheel of Time swears across region, culture and time. Corresponding color-coded chapter icons are stacked along either side, hinting which characters use each word: green for Mat, pink-red for Elayne, yellow for Whitecloaks, blue for Sea Folk, orange for Aiel, and so on. The words “epithets, expletives & insults” are written in black atop a rainbow pattern of dots. Still have the goat in my arms, turned so you can see his sweet little face. He’s a creamy color, with fawny brown around the eyes and nose. My face is obscured behind him, so I’m just glasses and auburn curls, but you can see a bit of their pasture in the background.More goat snuggles! I’m smiling and chatting with two white kids in my arms with one laying its head on my shoulder. Had to pull my auburn curly hair back so it wasn’t getting nibbled.

#TheWheelOfTime #WoTSkies #WoTArt A couple WIP’s playing around with adding Forsaken imagery to the classic Wheel of Time symbol. 🌙🕷️ Which Forsaken are you most excited to see in Season 3??
Robert Jordan’s Wheel and Serpent symbol with a quote from Lanfear in each infinity loop “You were mine, and you are mine.” A band of silver stars and moon phases replaces the Wheel and in the center is a skull with a silver crescent moon branded into the forehead.Robert Jordan’s Wheel and Serpent symbol with a quote from Moghedien in one infinity loop (“Softly, softly from the shadows”) and a sinister spider in the other. Instead of the spokes, a broken spider web fills the wheel.

Olver got his namesake for his stupidly large ears, snubby smashed face, fugly underbite smile and love of bosom snuggling. So when his twisted kyphosis spine meant he needed a mobility stroller, it had to be named after the hero who carried the littlest Hornblower through Tarmon Gai’don: Bela. 🐴✨
Frenchie Olver, being brave and adventurous and curious on a hike in his stroller, Bela. His ears are so big, they flip backwards. Trees and blue sky can be seen in the background.A black-and-tan stroller for my blue-and-tan pup. This is Olver’s first trip and he was a bit unsure of himself, so I’m bent over trying to reassure him with smiles and cuddles. You can see little brother Loial doing his typical I-must-be-included photo bomb in the bottom corner.6mo-old Olver curled up in his blue blanket the first day he was brought home. You can see one of his grey eyes catching the light, trying to figure out what is going on as I give him paint-stained scritches.Olver’s spinal x-rays, showing the two severe kinks in his back that cause his creeping paralysis. None of the vets can tell me how he’s able to walk or for how long, so we take it day by day.

#WoTSelfieSunday #WoTSkies Hiking up my favorite coastline trail to enjoy a good read. Very offline, very Brown Ajah, very PNW.
Me (pale female with curly auburn hair and black frame glasses) flipping through Lord of Chaos with my red Dragon Reborn chapter icon bookmark. There’s northwest greenery in the background that contrasts with my purple scarf and black-and-white patterned coat.

3 Foreshadowing Quotes from #TheWheelOfTime S1 💙 Moraine displays Lews’ same arrogance and suffers a similar defeat. 💛 In captivity, Egwene started wearing her Two Rivers braid again as reminder of her roots and her resolve. 💚 Egwene’s loss of her power as a damane showed the strength of her mind.
A white paper with blue watercolor splotches and black script. The text is Moiraine’s opening monologue (“The world is broken…”) and beneath it in all caps: Moiraine Damodred of the Blue Ajah. At the top framed by a couple of paper flowers is Robert Jordan’s ancient Aes Sedai symbol.A white paper with shades of yellow paint streaks and black lettering. The text is Nynaeve’s Women’s Circle initiation (“To be a woman is to be always alone and never alone”) and below in all caps: Nynaeve al’Meara, Wisdom of Emond’s Field. Paper flowers cluster at the edges and at the top, a chapter icon I designed for Ny.A white paper with pistachio green brushstrokes and black script. The text is Moiraine’s lesson to Egwene (“The Power inside you…”), as illustrated in the caps at the bottom: Moraine Damodred to Egwene al’Vere. Paper flowers gather at two corners and at the top sits Eg’s chapter icon, the twisted stone ter’angreal.

In college, my friend Kari—same as Kari al’Thor—showed up in my room with Eye of the World, and left it there. And then every few days, she’d walk in, check my progress, judge me, and then leave again. By the Shadow Rising, I was hooked. So I proceeded to find my own victim and repeat the cycle. 😇
Fan art of Min Farshaw with short, dark and curly hair and a knowing smirk. She’s surrounded by a partially blurred collection of viewings and the corresponding character chapter icon. Across her eyes is a blue banner that reads “Truthspeaker,” her Seanchan title. Beneath her, script reads “The Pattern has a great deal to answer for. I don’t think any man is worth this.”A close-up of my Min Farshaw fan art, with a blue banner that says “Truthspeaker” covering her eyes like a blindfold. Her dark brown hair curls wildly around her head, but her expression is serene with a small smile. In the background just out of focus, the light catches the gold lettering on my hardcover copies of the Wheel of Time series.
