I don't really get Rand self-pity from the books. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 15/04/2010 04:01:27 AM
Mat, sure. Mat is always going on about how he's being dragged into things against his will and deserves pity for his poor, unfortunate fate. Rand? No. He accepts whatever happens and just lumbers on. In fact, he seems almost incapable of pitying himself, even when he genuinely deserves it, he just goes back to saving the world. Which is actually part of the problem.

I hope Graendal was responsible for LTT's voice all along! What happened to our little boy?! newyorkersedai - 13/04/2010 04:02:20 AM 1430 Views

"How hard will I become," Rand thought, "'til simply *being myself* feels like the taint on saidar" newyorkersedai - 15/04/2010 06:06:58 AM 878 Views
Could be that I missed it... Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2010 06:42:43 AM 636 Views
You seem like a nice enough bloke newyorkersedai - 15/04/2010 03:03:17 PM 670 Views
Re: You're right, but a couple of points... unreasonable expectations FanEditor10 - 27/04/2010 08:02:20 AM 811 Views
Wow, very thoughtful, and I can't find anything to disagree with in what you wrote... *NM* newyorkersedai - 01/05/2010 03:11:37 AM 278 Views
You think too much of Graendal Sidious - 13/04/2010 11:46:15 AM 794 Views

I think it's realistic... Etzel - 13/04/2010 12:35:11 PM 860 Views
She couldn't, just my wishful b%^&&ing and moaning *NM* newyorkersedai - 15/04/2010 01:43:41 AM 288 Views
I hope not. I don't think Graendal had the interest or opportunity to manipulate Rand that early. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/04/2010 02:39:18 PM 880 Views
Hadn't considered either of those - cool newyorkersedai - 15/04/2010 01:42:31 AM 768 Views
I really hope Graendal wasn't Yondaime - 15/04/2010 12:10:39 AM 816 Views
Very true! But I never said compulsion was the cause newyorkersedai - 15/04/2010 01:22:45 AM 877 Views
The voice was a reincarnation side effect, but why did RJ take his hand! FanEditor10 - 27/04/2010 07:37:49 PM 668 Views
Great point! I was laughing and even clapping at your idea *NM* newyorkersedai - 01/05/2010 03:12:42 AM 289 Views
