I knew the proposal was coming but not the wreath. We had looked at rings together. I actually proposed first and we exchanged the surprises we had for each other. I made them a video and a notebook with poems in it. She also made a Victorian letter with art and a ring box inside an EotW paperback.

Hi #WoTSkies I really haven’t been posting much on socials since #WoTCon but I wanted to share a happy update for friends I saw there and who got to meet @themver.bsky.social

Because when an amazing person makes you a bridal wreath you want to share with other amazing #TheWheelOfTime nerds

Two hands wearing sapphire engagement rings over a floral wreath made with tiny white baby’s breath, small flat eucalyptus leaves, and spiky blue sea holly.

Rebecca and Lou posing in pirate themed garb at a Renaissance faire - long sleeved blouses, corsets, skirts, multiple necklaces and belts/scarves and long earrings. Lou is in neutrals with pops of blue and Rebecca in purples and green.

That’s what I thought!

Rebecca @readingthepattern.bsky.social · Jul 16

It might have been filmed but cut when it didn’t resonate with audiences as much as it should which could’ve been because they originally cast a different actor in S1. When they knew that actor wouldn’t be available in S2 they changed his role and recast but we had less time with the character.

I’m seeing so many people report positive tests in Discord so it seems we had an unlucky year. Thank you and I hope you avoid it!

Am I doomed to only submit for @wotidol.bsky.social every other year? I knew I wasn’t gonna manage to work on my parody before WoTCon and had vague hopes of banging out one of the many parodies I’ve written after but now I have Covid. Not even the #PESTHive can help me! Oh wait, I am the #PESTHive
