Mage

Man. I’m giving my missionary farewell talk tomorrow. I wish I had the confidence to quote Sanderson. It’s about Job and why bad things happen to good people. I was tempted to pull from Wax’s discussion with Harmony in Bands.

*salute*

The other one who hates Perrin is Byar (I’m also an audiobook guy so my spelling is suspect as well). The dark friend one from the prologues of both books two and three or maybe it’s two and four is Jachim Caridan. He’s a questioner which is another branch of the Whitecloaks that does interrogation. I think.

Actually I changed my mind. Aes Sedai are relatively pleasant when compared with Gawyn Bloody Trakand. His arrogance is unparalleled. Gathering Storm spoilers He’s a well developed character, but flaming infuriating. Worse than Aes Sedai.

I forgot to bid you all farewell, but I turned 18 two weeks ago. So…farewell. (I’ll probably still lurk)

Don't get me wrong. I love the Wheel of Time. I think the ability to inspire strong emotions (such as hate) is the mark of a good book. Well, unless the hate is hate of the book itself... Anyway. Aes Sedai are the worst. Even the best of them like Egwene and Nynaeve fall prey to the arrogance, overconfidence, and blindness that all Aes Sedai are prey to. Every one of them thinks they know so much, and refuse to admit when they are wrong. Elaida is a horrible person, but she is just an extreme version of what every Aes Sedai is. They all have that spark of arrogant tyrannicalness. Just for one example. When Asha'man start bonding sisters, this upsets the Aes Sedai. I think this upset is warranted due to the non-consenting nature of the bond. However, the Aes Sedai aren't as concerned about that as they are the mere fact that it is women who are the warders and not men. They refuse to see themselves as equals. Even when the Asha'man come and try to make recompense they don't think that an even number bonded would be a fair deal because in their minds Aes Sedai are superior beings. I know the sea folk are frustrating. I understand all the Gawyn hate. The Seanchan are pretty terrible. The Asha'man have problems of their own. Sevanna is almost as bad as Elaida. But for me, the Aes Sedai are the worst out of all of them. Thank you for listening to my ranting. I would love to be proven wrong on these points. Maybe someone could help me understand the Aes Sedai better, and not grow as frustrated when they do literally anything.

I like how you're thinking, but is it the heated air that makes the pressure, or the exploding powder that makes the pressure? I could be wrong, but I doubt that intense heat alone could cause that much pressure. Potentially a fabrial that is specifically designed to create air pressure could do the job. Perhaps a system of attractors and repellers working with air. I'm not sure. I like the idea, and: (6th of dusk 2)

Good thing you’re not a Vorin man. Because they have no other choice.

YKYASFW you are selected to give a speech at graduation and you...well, I'd better just let you guys watch it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12gbo2Fntf5if_dV3pySJyGP4zyw509EK/view?usp=sharing (It's about 4 minutes long, but if you just watch the first-ish minute you'll understand why I know I'm a Sanderfan.)

Actually, I'm in the exact same situation. Oldest of 5, but only one Cosmere convert.
