It's good to be right. Especially when you see Rand list his good influences in ToM Cannoli Send a noteboard - 30/11/2011 03:24:55 PM
So Rand claims that the difference between him and Lews Therin, and why the Shadow could not corrupt or break him, is “because of Tam, because of the people around me. (Min), Perrin, Nynaeve, Mat, Aviendha, Elayne, Moiraine.”

Notice any conspicuous omissions from that list? A certain someone he has known almost as long as Perrin, Mat & Nynaeve? A certain someone who has spent more time with him over the course of the series than even the mother of his children or his two closest friends? I’m just saying, that it’s funny how my long-standing view of who is and isn’t a good influence is corroborated by the champion of the Light at his ultimate peak of wisdom and transcendent insight. In addition, Uber-Rand’s first act upon his apotheosis is to set into motion a strategy dependent entirely on the presumption of Egwene’s reflexive opposition and automatic hostility to him or to a decisive step to defeat the Dark One.

Rand reaches a point of near divine awareness and judgment, and his brain goes right to the Cannoli-place. Think upon that, ye mortals, and despair.

That's the really appalling part - it is so ingrained in her, that you can induce such specific acts Cannoli - 30/11/2011 04:38:07 PM 1002 Views

Well, she DID try to deflate his ego, but then she punished those who returned the favor to her. Cannoli - 01/12/2011 03:33:11 PM 1030 Views
