Some kid in my neighborhood is the second coming of Basquiat.

Sidewalk chalk drawing of a dog. It could be cave art. It's actually adorable and somehow impressively done. An actual sculpture of Basquiat's dog that looks really similar to the sidewalk chalk drawing.

I may be a world devouring ancient alien intelligence but I’m also just a baby girl. #alienearth
Oculus from alien earth which is basically an eyeball on octopus tentacles but someone has slapped a heart filter over it and has given it a pink ribbon.

I first read this in 2006, when my brain was still under construction. Now I’m back as an adult with a fully baked frontal cortex & my main takeaways are: Henry Miller was absolutely manic, but my god could the man write.

Henry Miller's book The Tropic of Cancer. The cover shows a nude woman laying on her back.

The #WhoIsSteve mystery of the The Wheel of Time fandom is close to being laid to rest. This is real. This is not a test.

I’m hoping to have the final pieces ready this weekend before I head out on vacation 🤞🏼 stay tuned. #wotskies
Actor Phil Snowden who in summer of 2020 was leaked to be playing the role of "Steve" in season 1 of The Wheel of Time.

Yeah, it's this video if you feel like it.
Thumbnail of the video in question. It shows Rand screaming in Rhuidean while text reads "cringe overload".

This is going to be long. My tolerance for this type of thing is at an all time low. There's a YouTuber called The Prophet of the Dragon who put out a 2 hour Livestream while using Kritter's content the majority of the time & decided to make some jokes about Kate Fleetwood's appearance. #wotskies
Here he brings up a comment on screen joking that Kate Fleetwood has AIDS. Here he brings up a comment joking that Kate Fleetwood is underweight and should eat a sandwich. This is his face. He's a white middle aged man with a reseeding hairline and glasses.

Something about the middle of summer makes me reach for the most brilliant, somber, terrifying books. I Who Have Never Known Men hit all three. Women write the best horror bc they’ve lived it. #booksky 📚💙
The cover of a book by Jacqueline Harpman titled I Who Have Never Known Men. The cover shows the portrait of a woman and a golden circle obscuring part of her face.

Ooh 👀 the new #JamesSACorey cover dropped for The Faith of Beasts. This one can't come soon enough. #booksky 📚💙
Cover of the book. If appears to have 2 space ships with one shining a blue light on the other. Text reads "James SA Corey author of The Expanse, The Faith of Beasts"

I know the end of #TheWheelofTime left a bit of a hole. If you're feeling that too & want a place to hang out, my Discord server’s open. Lately we’ve been deep into Dungeon Crawler Carl, Empire of Silence & The Devils... always a good story going around.

Invite link’s in my bio🍦

Ok. Episode 4 of #Murderbot is legitimately incredible. The way I cackled on multiple occasions. The drama. The awkwardness. I am thriving.

I started Empire of Silence at the exact right moment, and it’s absolutely great. How did I make it this far without anyone screaming at me to read this? I'm on chapter 31 and loving it. #booksky 📚💙

You ever read something that is just so clear and vibrant, like your brain is watching a movie? I'm now interested in anything Fonda Lee touches. Someone needs to adapt this. Shae is THAT GIRL. #booksky #lan4lan 💙📚
Cover of Jade City by Fonda Lee. It's a dark green cover and the title is written in bright green with a static looking flash of magic or energy sparking the center on the cover.

You mean this key or a different one? Because it's pretty much visible the whole season. First image is her when Morgase is leaving the tower in episode 2. Second is 20 years ago when Morgase takes the throne.
Screenshot of multiple Elaida scenes throughout the season showing the key.

Adding to the thread because people are bringing up charms. I counted 3 total. 2 flattened metal pieces and a key-like charm. All are visible 10 years before she exits the doorframe.
Elaida crowning Morgase where the key charm is visible. Another angle of Elaida crowning Morgase where the two flattened disk charms are visible. Elaida exited the red stone door frame where all 3 charms are visible.

Massive book spoiler below 👇🏼 #wotbookspoilers

Looney theory activated.
In the books there is one piece of jewelry that is REALLY REALLY important to Elaida's story. Is it a clue she misunderstood from the 🐍 Aelfinn?
Maybe the Aelfinn told her the White Tower would be whole again and win a big battle, and that she’d be wearing special jewelry when it happens. So she thinks the bracelet means power, but it might be part of her downfall. In The Gathering Storm, the White Tower wins a battle against the Seanchan, but Elaida gets captured and collared. It’s the end of her story. What if the show is hinting that she received this information in a Foretelling, but misunderstood it? She thinks the Tower wins the Last Battle and her bracelet means she’ll be powerful. But really, it’s a sign she’ll fall and be collared. What do you think?

Ok. I made a little graphic to breakdown Elaida's show timeline and the mysterious circumstances of her bracelet. #wotskies #thewheeloftime
20 years ago: Morgase takes the Lion Throne. Elaida' bracelet is visible here. 10 years ago: Elaida visits the Aelfinn, checks her bracelet, loses Alviarin’s vote, and Elaida loses the vote to become the Amyrlin. Current day: Min asks if the bracelet relates to the Foretellings. Elaida says, "of a sort." Elaida deposes Siuan and becomes the Amyrlin. The Timeline suggests her bracelet is at least 20 years old, so it wasn't a gift from when she exited the redstone doorframe 10 years ago.

🚨 Season 3 Episode 7 Spoilers 🚨
#thewheeloftime ALSO #wotbookspoilers

I really want word to get back to Egwene that Mat's little sisters roasted Child Valda. I could see her taking them under her tutelage when she is back at the Tower when the Seanchan attack. She'll have allies in them.
Eamon Valda in season one with Egwene strapped to a chair in his tent before he tries to start torturing her and Perrin. The Cauthon twins linking up with the One Power to roast Eamon Valda like the dirtbag he is.

I'd like to send every woman solo moderating her YouTube comments a fruit basket.

Weirdly aggressive men. Trolls spoiling non-book readers on purpose. Random insults. Stranger danger asking where the teenage content creators are. Not to scream in the void, but I'm tired.

One of my favorite quirks of Moiraine Damodred is when she does that little 180 turn & zooms off at the speed of gay. #thewheeloftime

I made a super simplified version of the Aiel history. In case anyone is a bit confused after episode 4 of #thewheeloftime #wotskies
Da'shain Aiel come from the Age of Legends and promises to carry the Chora Trees and Objects of the One Power and practice the Way of the Leaf. Jonai (old man in Rand's fourth vision) comes from their line. His party splits after the massacre and eventually leave their oath to transport the goods. They become the Tuatha'an. From Jonai's line comes Lewin (Vision 3) Lewin breaks his oath of non violence and his descendants became the Modern Day Aiel. Lewin's group who continues their mission eventually become the Jenn Aiel and succeed. They broke no oaths but eventually die out and become extinct.

I know ratings like this are not always worth much, but it seems like the critics are really enjoying this season. #wotskies #thewheeloftime

I snagged some shots from the season preview at the end of episode 1 🥲 spoilers for upcoming episodes, but it's so pretty.
