<p>
	Welcome back to another exciting edition of "Meme Monday."  Today we'll look at some of the woes that plague the Dragon Reborn in his relationships.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We covered one of the major negative impacts on Rand's girl troubles a few weeks ago.  But let's add another log to that fire.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://dragonmount.com/uploads/monthly_2019_02/51535149_10218434730808256_8851142386839977984_n.jpg.ee73478c33dd56ea27d266ef831afb73.jpg" data-fileid="4561" rel=""><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="4561" data-unique="tpltfs8ew" src="https://dragonmount.com/uploads/monthly_2019_02/51535149_10218434730808256_8851142386839977984_n.thumb.jpg.87b02be1fc4a1b2ab8122e52d82d6a8b.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: auto;" alt="51535149_10218434730808256_8851142386839977984_n.jpg"></a>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	And still on the subject of his love interests, Rand has an awful lot to deal with to keep his sigfigs happy.
</p>

<p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	And let's not overlook Rand's not-romantic relationships.  He is a ruler, you know.  A king.  A chief.  He makes a lot of important decisions.
</p>

<p>
	I wanted to take a break from our normal memes to talk about a new reader who’s taking the <em>Wheel of Time</em> fandom by storm.  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/christopher.green.1612?fref=gs&amp;__tn__=%2CdC-R-R&amp;eid=ARCbZgJkAqW3NUxLL9T0fH_Kd62JyHzA43GwXp8k39TrDs6swh0pHtUE9lC5r3JgZVq_tcnHsGS-A-tB&amp;hc_ref=ARSTIIeU32wZs6C7xjJkg8CWWSELqgDKYueoJ271xUjVnM4cuaACwH98EXYGIIYGfNs&amp;dti=2204133522&amp;hc_location=group" rel="external nofollow">Christopher Green</a> started reading <em>The Wheel of Time</em> in January.  His father is a huge fan, and Christopher started reading after his father suggested it to him.  Around the middle of his read of <em><a href="https://dragonmount.com/Books/Eye_of_the_World/" rel="">The Eye of the World</a></em>, Christopher began to post real time updates about his progress and his reactions on the Facebook public group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2204133522/?ref=group_header" rel="external nofollow">Screw You All, I Love Wheel of Time</a>.  The journey has been amazing so far, and many fans are reliving the joys of a first read through Randland.
</p>

<p>
	Some of Christopher’s first posts into <em><a href="https://dragonmount.com/Books/Great_Hunt/" rel="">The Great Hunt</a></em>:

<p>
	(LORD INGTAR NOOOOOOOOO WHYYY!!!!!!)
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Christopher started using the hashtag #firstwalkthroughrandland on all his posts once his followers begged him to.  And some have even expressed their anxiety that Christopher hadn’t posted yet that day.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	And naturally, everyone is waiting with anticipation for Christopher to reach certain scenes. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<img alt="cg4.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="4532" data-unique="7p5z8ca91" src="https://dragonmount.com/uploads/monthly_2019_02/cg4.jpg.71da5e164ed5bc591fa6d8a0a6be2549.jpg"></p>

<p>
	(I can't wait till Christopher gets to the end of Fires of Heaven, and asks the biggest burning question of the series that we all fought and theorized over for years.  Who ___ed ___an?)
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	And this past weekend, he finally hit the turning point for Mat.  Christopher didn’t care for Mat at first:
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<img alt="cg8.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="4536" data-unique="xx0hsl4ia" src="https://dragonmount.com/uploads/monthly_2019_02/cg8.jpg.d5a9d876899596fa8c42508518961aa5.jpg"></p>

<p>
	(I woke up and was thinking.... that I have no idea how mat is important to the story other than comic relief and mischief? He literally got stabbed by a knife and that's it so [far]. I mean rand can channel and is the dragon, Perrin talks to wolf's and the women are aes sedai.)
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	But the scene where Mat challenges Galad and Gawyn to a spar changed his mind.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<img alt="cg7.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="4535" data-unique="gfl709nz2" src="https://dragonmount.com/uploads/monthly_2019_02/cg7.jpg.8ab51a9539a042550d99a1741a70a259.jpg"></p>

<p>
	(WHAT THE HELL HE WON AND WHOOPED EM.... I LIKE NEW MAT)
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Almost everyone has been kind and considerate to Christopher, and they are going out of their way to avoid spoiling major parts later in the books.  Christopher is happy that everyone is being nice and getting such joy out of his shared experience.
</p>

<p>
	Welcome back to another Meme Monday.  This week's victim is Lanfear, our favorite crazy ex-girlfriend.<span>  </span>She first appears as Selene in <em><a href="https://dragonmount.com/Books/Great_Hunt/" rel="">The Great Hunt</a></em>, and seems a sweet, sympathetic noblewoman on the run.<span>  </span>However, things escalate quickly.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	And if that weren’t bad enough….
</p>

<p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Odd to think that not much needs to be added to Lanfear’s actual dialogue.
</p>

<p>
	At least she serves as a good example of  how not to act.

<p>
	Welcome back to another "Meme Monday."  This week, our focus shifts to concepts and ideas within Randland.  There are some pretty humorous things that happen in-world.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Like, how Bayle Domon is always around to rescue whichever of the main characters is in need.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Another globally acceptable idea in Randland is that innkeepers should be plump.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<img alt="48388410_10217979874117123_6820386243319169024_n.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="4471" data-unique="muwrrksn0" src="https://dragonmount.com/uploads/monthly_2019_01/48388410_10217979874117123_6820386243319169024_n.jpg.4d9dac09d14bbc0147b286e416968c78.jpg"></p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	And of course, there are the rather unorthodox ways of the Altarans.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I wish I could live in Randland.  I'm sure many of you wish you could too!

<p><img src="https://dragonmount.com/uploads/monthly_2019_01/17991971_10212975723976497_1554286822076184104_n.jpg.33f155933225ed8a184c60173967ef6c.jpg" /></p>

<p>
	Here are some more Wheel of Time memes.  I can't get enough of them!  This week features our third favorite ta'veren: Perrin.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	When the series starts, I loved Perrin more than Rand and Mat.  He's the only one who kept his morals after leaving the Two Rivers.  As he grows, he's strong, dependable, unyielding.  Well, there is that one factor that keeps many readers from adoring him...
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<img alt="19105711_10213437766127262_6592992605815707311_n.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="4454" data-unique="wpkcwciz6" src="https://dragonmount.com/uploads/monthly_2019_01/19105711_10213437766127262_6592992605815707311_n.jpg.cf11232f0491c82048f1fa5b5f10c549.jpg"></p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Unlike most fans, I'm not put off by Faile's captivity by the Shaido.  And I don't dislike Perrin's chapters when he's chasing her.  For me, it's another facet of his personality that I love.  He is dedicated to her and he'll do anything to get her back.  If it had been switched, and Tuon or one of Rand's love interests had been taken, I believe Mat and Rand would have acted the same way.  Of course, Mat has a bigger, badder army so he has more resources, and Rand has the Asha'man at his disposal, so both could probably achieve success quicker.  But that's not Perrin's fault.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Perrin's wolfdreams are a huge part of his draw as a character.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	His abilities in <em>tel'aran'rhiod</em> are almost more impressive than any of the Wise Ones.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	And let's not forget <em>Mah'alleinir</em>.  This is an iconic scene within the whole series.  It's powerful and so full of potential.  It sets the stage for things to come after the Last Battle.
</p>

<p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Say what you will, Perrin is still one of my favorite characters!

<p>
	This one particularly speaks to me because my mom just started reading <em>Wheel of Time</em>.  She finished <em><a href="https://dragonmount.com/Books/Eye_of_the_World/" rel="">The Eye of the World</a></em> a few days ago and started <em><a href="https://dragonmount.com/Books/Great_Hunt/" rel="">The Great Hunt</a></em> the same day.  When we talk, she asks me questions about characters or places and I feel like this.  It's too deep to answer a lot of what she wants to know without spending hours on the phone.

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I feel this thinking about the TV show.  Which plots to cut, which characters to combine?  Too overwhelming for me to contemplate.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Yes!  Meeting <em>Wheel of Time</em> fans in the wild is an amazing experience!  I get to quite frequently because my licence plate says "Sedai."  Also, I've been stopped by several people while wearing my <em>Wheel of Time</em> hoodie from <a href="https://www.taverentees.com/default.asp" rel="external nofollow">Ta'veren Tees</a>.  It's like a beacon for nerds.

<p></p>
<p>Today's humor comes from a thread started by <a href="http://failemyfalcon.tumblr.com/post/107332379330" rel="external nofollow">failemyfalcon</a> that grew into something beautiful. It all started with:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>Lews Therin oversleeps</p>
<p>Snooze Therin</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p>And from that, folks started adding their own puns on Lews Therin's name. This month will be devoted to name puns for characters throughout the series. Today is just for Lews Therin...next time there will be much more!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin drinks at a party</p>
<p>Booze Therin</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin in a French courtroom</p>
<p>J’accuse Therin</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin gets mildly injured</p>
<p>Bruise Therin</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin grows antlers</p>
<p>Moose Therin</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin gettin jiggy wit it</p>
<p>Loose Therin</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin sheds a tear while passionately playing the saxophone</p>
<p>Blues Therin</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin gets a job as a journalist</p>
<p>News Therin</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin tricks the forsaken and imprisons them.</p>
<p>Ruse Therin</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin makes an ice house</p>
<p>Igloos Therin</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lews Therin realizes his name can be turned into a myriad of puns and it drives him insane.</p>
<p><em>Therin lies the problem.</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>(And then there's all of <a href="http://eytancragg.tumblr.com/post/107337217913/eytancragg-eytancragg-eytancragg" rel="external nofollow">these</a> that user <a href="http://eytancragg.tumblr.com/post/107337217913/eytancragg-eytancragg-eytancragg" rel="external nofollow">eytancragg</a> came up with)</p>

<p>That's all for this week! Tune in next time for more character name puns! The Light illumine you all.</p>

<p></p>
<p>For our special holiday edition of Gleeman's Tales, I bring to you a delightfully morbid rendition of Winter Wonderland, written by <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/index.php/News/humor-blog/severus13@gmail.com" rel="external nofollow">Semirhage</a> and <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/index.php/News/humor-blog/ishamael13@gmail.com" rel="external nofollow">Ishamael</a>:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>Shayol WonderLand</p>
<p>By Ishamael and Semirhage</p>
<p>From the POV of/Sang by Aginor to Aran'gar</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Victims scream</p>
<p>Are you listening</p>
<p>In the lane</p>
<p>Blood is glistening</p>
<p>A beautiful sight,</p>
<p>We're happy tonight</p>
<p>Walking in a Shayol wonderland</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gone away, is the dove</p>
<p>Here to stay, a Draghkar above</p>
<p>He  croons a love song,</p>
<p>As we go along</p>
<p>Walking in a Shayol wonderland</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the meadow we can find a Greenman</p>
<p>And pretend that he is a functioning Nym</p>
<p>He'll say did you wish to see me</p>
<p>We'll say No Man</p>
<p>But you'll give us the Eye of the World</p>
<p>When you're down</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Later on</p>
<p>We'll conspire</p>
<p>As we dream by the fire</p>
<p>To face unafraid</p>
<p>The plans that we've made</p>
<p>Walking in a Shayol wonderland</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the meadow we can find a Greenman</p>
<p>And how we'll laugh as we tear him down</p>
<p>We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Greenman</p>
<p>Until the other Chosen come around</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When blood flows</p>
<p>Ain't it thrilling</p>
<p>And those screams, are so chilling</p>
<p>With Trollocs we play, the Aginor way</p>
<p>Just walking in a Shayol wonderland</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A beautiful sight</p>
<p>We're happy tonight</p>
<p>Walking in a Shayol wonderland</p>

<p>Happy Holidays everyone! The Light illumine you!</p>

<p></p>
<p>Today's funny feature is brought to you by the blog <a href="http://incorrect-wot-quotes.tumblr.com/page/4" rel="external nofollow">incorrect-wot-quotes</a>, which combines quotes from various media and applies it to corresponding events or characters in the <em>Wheel of Time</em>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First, a couple <em>Game of Thrones</em> crossovers:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>"I am the blood of the Dragon."</p>
<p>-One of Rand’s kids, probably</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>

<p> </p>
<p>For anyone who is a fan of the NBC show <em>Parks and Recreation</em>:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>"Nynaeve is the best, but she’s 25. When Nynaeve was born I was already a Warder, which means if we were friends back then I would have been hanging out with a baby. I don’t know anything about infant care. Oh my god I could have killed her."</p>
<p>-Lan</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>"Towards the end of the Second Age, the Bore was drilled. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."</p>
<p>-Any Third Age historian</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Of course, some <em>Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit</em>:</p>
<p> </p>

<p>"It’s mine! My own! My Preciousssss!"</p>
<p>-Padan Fain</p>

</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>"In a hole in the Pattern there lived the Great Lord of the Dark. Not a nasty, dirty hole— In fact, it was not a hole in any physical sense of the word, but considering the limitations of your minds I’m making do."</p>
<p>-If <em>The Hobbit</em> had been written by Ishamael</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>And a few random ones that I just had to include:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>"Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn."</p>
<p>-Lews Therin, to Lanfear</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>"Call me Ishamael."</p>
<p>-Ishamael (<a href="http://oranjalbatross.tumblr.com/post/94851853451/sealed-behind-the-bore-along-with-the-dark-one-and" rel="external nofollow">x</a>)</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>"And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!"</p>
<p>-Ishamael, at the end of any of the first three books</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>

<p></p>
<p>You may have seen <em>Dragonmount</em> <a href="https://twitter.com/dragonmount" rel="external nofollow">tweet this video</a> back a few weeks ago, but if you didn't I feel the need to make sure as many people see it as possible. Somehow, this music video perfectly captures the experience of an obsessed fan, talking and thinking about nothing but</p>

<p><img src="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/uploads/gallery/album_367/gallery_32102_367_480191.gif" alt="gallery_32102_367_480191.gif" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Without further adieu, the full video:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>While we're on the topic of videos, I don't know if any you enjoy the art of <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0CB4QFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FYouTube_Poop&amp;ei=Smw4VKmcBIuOyATuooKACA&amp;usg=AFQjCNGCnUnXpcHVoZ5TLoU_LXXfOf1e5w&amp;sig2=jJCRgdm2nb9auWFnnb9Lxw" rel="external nofollow">YouTube Poop</a> (yes, it's a real thing), but someone made one using the audio book of <em><a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/Books/Great_Hunt/index.php" rel="external nofollow">The Great Hunt</a></em>.

<p>Finally, I wanted to share a gif-set that I made from the fan-made film <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt10nbVSerY" rel="external nofollow">Flight From Shadow</a>. Take some time to watch the 30 minute film if you haven't yet, it is so well done. To pique your interest, here is the gif moment:</p>

<p>As you can probably guess, yes, that's Rand and Mat.</p>

<p>After the <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/index.php/News/humor-blog/gleemans-tales-justwheeloftimethings-r818" rel="external nofollow">#justwheeloftimethings post</a> last time, I couldn't help but read off the list as if I were singing the song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlcIKh6sBtc" rel="external nofollow">"Royals" by Lorde</a>, so I decided to write some lyrics!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For your enjoyment, a parody song entitled "Wheel of Time Things."</p>
<p> </p>
<div><strong>Verse 1:</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’ve never seen Randland in the flesh </div>
<div>Cut my teeth on 14 books (but still no movie)</div>
<div>The wheel of time turns</div>
<div>And ages come and pass, leaving memories…</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Pre-chorus:</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<em>The Wheel of Time</em> is like </div>
<div>Smooth skirts, Darkfriends, chasing the Forsaken</div>
<div>Aes Sedai, braid tugging, blank expressions</div>
<div>Egwene don’t care; she’ll spy on you in your dreams</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And Wheel of Time is like</div>
<div>
<em>Sul’dam</em>, angreal, <em>Daes Dae’mar</em>
</div>
<div>
<em>Ta’veren</em>, <em>tel’aran’rhiod</em>, <em>saidin</em>, <em>saidar</em>
</div>
<div>We don’t care; we are caught up in a love affair</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Chorus:</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just <em>Wheel of Time</em> things (<em>Wheel of Time</em> things)</div>
<div>This series runs in our blood</div>
<div>The Dragon battles The Dark One</div>
<div>While romancing more than one woman</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It’s just <em>Wheel of Time</em> things (<em>Wheel of Time </em>things)</div>
<div>You can call me Empress</div>
<div>JK I’m an Aes Sedai (Aes Sedai, Aes Sedai, Aes Sedai)</div>
<div>The Seanchan are the worst</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Verse 2:</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Folding your arms beneath your breasts</div>
<div>Draghkar, Myrrdraal, Trollocs, Gray Men, and Darkhounds</div>
<div>And everyone in Randland knows</div>
<div>That men are woolheads</div>
<div>And women are impossible</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Bridge:</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Rand’s got Lews Therin in his head</div>
<div>And Mat’s got memories from the dead</div>
<div>Nynaeve battles Moghedien</div>
<div>And wolves are talking to Perrin</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I hope you have enjoyed my little attempt at songwriting. The Light illumine you; have a great week!</div>

<p>This week I give you a modern alternate universe in which a few main characters go out for a night of singing, drinking, and merriment. In other words: karaoke night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://knifeeared.tumblr.com/post/83236819423/modern-au-where-they-have-a-drunk-karaoke-night" rel="external nofollow">knifeeared</a></p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p><span style="font-size:12px;">modern au where they have a drunk karaoke night</span></p>
<div></div>
<div>Elayne would probably sing Total Eclipse of the Heart or something like that, get WAY too into it, and start dramatically singing it to random people</div>
<div></div>
<div>Nynaeve is only there as designated driver and growls whenever they try to get her to sing</div>
<div></div>
<div>Once Mat is really drunk, he goes on stage and sings Celine Dion, and there isn’t a single dry eye in the place. He either doesn’t remember it the next day, or pretends like he doesn’t</div>
</div></blockquote>

<div></div>

<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p><span style="font-size:12px;">Egwene is there too, but she’s sitting shyly in the corner until she’s had a few, and then Elayne tries to push her up to the mic. Eggy is all “no no no i can’t sing” but then she’s up there, holding the mic, and the music is playing. So she starts off quietly…</span></p>
<div></div>
<div>"just a small town girl…….. livin in a loney world….. she took the midnight train goin aaaaaannyyyyy wheeeeeeeeeeere…."</div>
<div></div>
<div>And of course, she starts getting really into it and by the end..</div>
<div></div>
<div>"DOOOONT STOP.. BELIEEEEEVINN… HOLD ON TO THAT FEEELINNNG…."</div>
</div></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://knifeeared.tumblr.com/post/83236819423/modern-au-where-they-have-a-drunk-karaoke-night" rel="external nofollow">knifeeared</a></p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p><span style="font-size:12px;">Halfway through the night Moiraine shows up and sits down with them. She silently watches for a few songs before announcing that she is going to “try it.” She goes and requests a song, and nobody knows how to react to the idea of Moiraine doing Karaoke</span></p>
<div></div>
<div>She calmly goes on stage, takes to mic and nobody in the room is quite sure what to make of her. Then the music starts, and she begins to sing.</div>
<div></div>
<div>"Baby, can’t you see.. I’m calling.. A guy like you should wear a warning …. It’s dangerous… I’m fallin"</div>
<div></div>
<div>Everyone watches in shock as Moiraine sings a perfect rendition of Toxic</div>
</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Which led to this incredible sketch by <a href="http://failemyfalcon.tumblr.com/post/87183375095" rel="external nofollow">karaburrito</a> (aka failemyfalcon):</p>

<p>Sounds like a wild night!</p>

<p>Ever wondered what the Forsaken would have been like in high school? This graphic was made by <a href="http://shorelle.deviantart.com" rel="external nofollow">shorelle</a> on DeviantArt (however, I think it has since been deleted). Please enjoy a hilarious reimagining of the Forsaken.</p>

<p>I hope y'all don't mind that this post is a bit short today. I haven't been feeling well this week but wanted to still get some laughs in! The Light illumine you!</p>

<p></p>
<p>I'm sure many of you have already seen or briefly glanced at the <em>Wheel of Time</em> Wiki's <a href="http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Drinking_game" rel="external nofollow">Drinking Game</a>, but if not I thought I would share the glorious hilarity of it here. Since this has been around a while, I suppose this is kind of another Throwback post? Throwback Thursday (on a Wednesday) Part 2!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First of all, the disclaimer:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div><p>Disclaimer: The following is intended for humour. If you’re stupid enough to actually play it, you probably deserve the damage to your liver and brain that will inevitably result.</p></div></blockquote>
<p>Sounds like something Nynaeve would say.</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p>Events requiring one drink:</p>
<ul><li>The Wheel of Time is mentioned or alluded to (apart from the first paragraph of chapter 1).</li>
<li>Rand wishes he could deal with women as well as Mat, or even Perrin.</li>
<li>Mat wishes he could deal with women as well as Rand, or even Perrin.</li>
<li>Perrin wishes he could deal with women as well as Mat, or even Rand.</li>
<li>Nynaeve tugs her braid.</li>
<li>Thom blows out his mustaches.</li>
<li>A female character sniffs.</li>
<li>A female character folds her arms beneath her breasts.</li>
<li>A female character smooths her skirts.</li>
<li>A man is caught in his smallclothes.</li>
<li>A woman threatens to box a man’s ears.</li>
<li>Min has a vision, but doesn’t understand it. (Note: If Min has several visions all at once relating to a group of people gathered together, that only counts as one.)</li>
<li>Perrin or Egwene has a prophetic dream.</li>
<li>Mat wins money by gambling.</li>
<li>Birgitte gives Nynaeve sex tips.</li>
<li>An Aiel complains about how weak wetlanders are.</li>
<li>Rand determines that he must become "harder." The use of the word hard is essential. Bonus drink if Rand compares himself to some form of metal or rock when describing his hardness.</li>
<li>Someone other than Rand comments on how much harder he has become. Explicit use of "hard" is not necessary.</li>
<li>Somebody quotes a prophecy.</li>
<li>A prophecy (including a prophetic dream) is fulfilled.</li>
<li>Loial complains about humans being all hasty.</li>
<li>Mat gets pissed off by Egwene, Nynaeve, or Elayne.</li>
<li>Cadsuane says 'Phaw!'</li>
<li>Mat has a flashback.</li>
<li>Birgitte refers to something that happened during the Trolloc Wars or the time of Artur Hawkwing.</li>
<li>Mat speaks the Old Tongue</li>
<li>An Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah turns out to be a darkfriend. (Does not count if she was revealed to be Black Ajah as soon as she was introduced.)</li>
<li>You find yourself thinking the series is starting to get like a soap opera.</li>
</ul></div></blockquote>
<p></p>
<p>Just that right there is enough to knock a person out in the first 20 pages! The <a href="http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Drinking_game" rel="external nofollow">wiki page</a> goes on to mention events requiring two, three, and four drinks, but I won't list them all here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully you got a good laugh today. The Light illumine you!</p>

<p>A trend has popped up in the Tumblr community of "ask blogs," which are blogs where you can ask a question and you will get an answer in the character of whoever is being portrayed. There have been some <em>great </em>posts as a result of this, and I wanted to feature just a few. At the end, I'll include a master list of all the ask blogs I know of right now (but more are being added just about every day).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First off, from <a href="http://askgraendal.tumblr.com/post/91697877385/how-do-you-stay-so-glamorous" rel="external nofollow">askgraendal</a>:</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>There have also been some great posts from ask blogs of our favorite steeds: Mandarb and Bela.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From <a href="http://askmandarb.tumblr.com" rel="external nofollow">askmandarb</a>:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/uploads/gallery/album_367/med_gallery_32102_367_1302.png" alt="med_gallery_32102_367_1302.png" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>And from <a href="http://belathehorse.tumblr.com" rel="external nofollow">belathehorse</a>:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Finally, I'll end with a great ongoing saga from <a href="http://askmoridin.tumblr.com" rel="external nofollow">askmoridin</a> (the beginning of the ask has something to do with a previous conversation)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/uploads/gallery/album_367/gallery_32102_367_16012.png" alt="gallery_32102_367_16012.png" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hearteater now makes frequent appearances in many of Moridin's answers. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's all for this week, just a small taste of the many great things that have been happening on ask blogs. Here is the master list that I mentioned before, hopefully I get most of them:</p>

<p></p>
<p>Just like the title says, this week we're going back <strike>to the future</strike> to our fandom past. So many funny things have happened over the years, and I thought I'd bring back just a few.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For instance, remember all those years spent not knowing who killed Asmodean? (I know some of you reading might still not know, so don't worry, I won't give it away). Our curiosity spurred some amazing theories, and also some hilarious ones.</p>
<p> <img src="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/uploads/gallery/album_367/gallery_32102_367_3082.gif" alt="gallery_32102_367_3082.gif" /></p>

<p> </p>
<p>And of course,</p>
<p> <img src="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/uploads/gallery/album_367/gallery_32102_367_4254.gif" alt="gallery_32102_367_4254.gif" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some of my other favorites are "Alternate Universe" type images which were featured on <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/index.php/News/fan-art-friday/fan-art-friday-back-to-the-future-r326" rel="external nofollow">this Fan Art Friday</a> a couple years ago.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First, an email inbox for Mat Cauthon by <a href="http://twitpic.com/photos/sleepinghour" rel="external nofollow">sleepinghour</a></p>

<p> </p>
<p>and a magazine cover featuring Mat</p>

<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div><p><a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/gallery/image/950-wheel-of-time-magazine/" rel="external nofollow">Wheel of Time Magazine</a> by Dragonmount's own sus-b (using the <a href="http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/01/the-shadow-rising-ebook-cover-by-sam-weber" rel="external nofollow">e-book cover</a> for <em><a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/Books/Shadow_Rising/index.php" rel="external nofollow">The Shadow Rising</a></em> by Sam Weber and the Wheel and the <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/gallery/image/15-the-wheel-and-the-great-serpent/" rel="external nofollow">Great Serpent chapter icon</a>) -<a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/user/12282-peregrine/" rel="external nofollow">peregrine</a></p></div></blockquote>
<p>In that same post, some folks in the comments mentioned that there is also an inbox for Rand, so I've tracked it down from <a href="http://twitpic.com/48l4f9" rel="external nofollow">here</a>:</p>

<p>Lastly, a true classic, and I'm sorry but I have no idea who made this. I originally found it <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/topic/77406-aiel-hearts-commanded-humor-newsletter-volume-1/" rel="external nofollow">here</a>, I believe.

I've been meaning to make something, but <a href="http://mehroones-dagon.tumblr.com/post/90559301787" rel="external nofollow">mehroones-dagon</a> beat me to it (and did it better). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The <a href="http://mehroones-dagon.tumblr.com/post/90559301787" rel="external nofollow">original version</a> had some R-rated language, so (with the permission of the creator) I've done some editing to make the language more PG-13. Hopefully the spirit of the original still comes through.</p>

<p></p>
<p>A small band of scared young men on the run from mysterious dark forces make a run for a ferry to get them to safety.  <em>Fellowship of the Ring</em> or <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/Books/Eye_of_the_World/index.php" rel="external nofollow"><em>The Eye of the World</em></a>?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A young farm boy with special powers must learn to control those powers in order to fight dark forces in the world. <em>Star Wars</em> or <em>Wheel of Time</em>?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This week is all about crossovers. It's no secret that <em>The Eye of the World</em> resembles <em>Lord of the Rings</em> in more than a few ways, but it's the ways that the two are different that make <em>The Wheel of Time</em> so great.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><em>Eye of the World</em> was great because instead of a tall magic man forcing tiny hobbits to go on adventures, it’s a tiny magic lady forcing the tall people to go on adventures.</span></p>
<p> </p>

<p></p>
<p>As the release of <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/Books/Memory_of_Light/index.php" rel="external nofollow"><em>A Memory of Light</em></a> approached last year, I could only think of one way to express my angst and simultaneous undying devotion to these <em>precious</em> books.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/uploads/gallery/album_367/gallery_32102_367_68725.jpg" alt="gallery_32102_367_68725.jpg" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's another hilarious crossover which manages to draw a link between--not two--but <em>three</em> different stories which use the "'tribal' woman and 'civilized' man fall in love" cliché.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/uploads/gallery/album_367/med_gallery_32102_367_40600.jpg" alt="med_gallery_32102_367_40600.jpg" /></p>

<p> </p>
<p>This next one is a reference to one of my favorite shows of all time, <em>Arrested Development. </em>My whole life has been building to the moment when these two incredible things would collide, and it is perfect.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/uploads/gallery/album_367/med_gallery_32102_367_119429.png" alt="med_gallery_32102_367_119429.png" /></p>

<p> </p>
<p>A somewhat unlikely crossover sprung up which references the movie <em>Shrek</em>, which is (unexplainably) a favorite movie of the Tumblr crowd. Don't get me wrong, I love that movie, but...well let's just say some people are a little weird about it. At any rate:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">"Poetry out of Lan? The man was like an onion; every time Rand thought he knew something about the Warder, he discovered another layer underneath." - <em>The Eye of the World</em></span></p>
</div></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>This quote just begs a reference to the movie, right? Just replace Shrek and Donkey with Lan and Mat, and the dialogue is almost perfect.</p>
<p> </p>
<div>
<strong>Lan</strong>: Warders are like onions.</div>
<div>
<strong>Mat</strong>: …they stink?</div>
<div>
<strong>Lan</strong>: Yes—no!</div>
<div>
<strong>Mat</strong>: Oh, they make you cry?</div>
<div>
<strong>Lan</strong>: No!</div>
<div>
<strong>Mat</strong>: Oh! You leave ‘em out in the sun they get all brown n start sproutin’ little white hairs!</div>
<div></div>
<div>Finally, I will leave you with one of the most timely references. Did anyone else, at the end of the movie <em>Frozen</em>, (SPOILER ALERT) find Elsa's "epiphany" to be curiously similar to Rand's in <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/Books/Gathering_Storm/index.php" rel="external nofollow"><em>The Gathering Storm</em></a>? It begs the comparison between Rand and Elsa as characters, to be sure.</div>

<p>How to explain <em>Wheel of Time </em>to someone? Some of you may have your elevator pitch, but for the rest of us it is a struggle. Yes, it's kind of like <em>Lord of the Rings</em> but...no it's really not. Sure, it's a little like <em>Game of Thrones</em>, if you add more women, more magic, and tone down the sex and violence, maybe. </p>
<p><br />Recently, my parents said to me, "Oh, we thought it was about time-travel. Didn't you say they go back in time?"</p>
<p><br />"No, I said the world in the series is connected to our world."</p>
<p><br />"Oh...isn't that the same thing?" </p>
<p><br />Trying to describe this series to someone usually ends with a major facepalm and the exasperated exclamation, "Here, just read it!" All of this is portrayed hilariously and perfectly in the following video. This video resonates with me a spiritual level, you guys. I think every fan has gone through this, but it makes it all worth it when, in the end, you find another fan. </p>
<p><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/96668067" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br />Oh, and on a somewhat unrelated note, I think <a href="http://jace-strigoi.tumblr.com/post/87341242859/i-was-bored-and-this-cats-name-is-nynaeve-one-of" rel="external nofollow">jace-strigoi</a> has provided us with Meow-naeve (from the on-going Lan Man-dog-oran saga in <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/index.php/News/humor-blog/gleemans-tales-cosplay-r768" rel="external nofollow">this post</a>.) </p>

<p>However brief Asmodean's time was in the series, I think we all loved his sass (Sass-modean, I've seen him called), his interesting Age of Legends perspective, and his sometimes existential, philosophical pondering on the choices he made in his life. <a href="http://pettymotives.tumblr.com/tagged/asmodean" rel="external nofollow">Pettymotives</a> on Tumblr is someone who captures Asmodean's character time and again in hilarious sketches and comics. I'll feature a few in this post, but they are just a fraction of the many entertaining depictions <a href="http://pettymotives.tumblr.com/tagged/asmodean" rel="external nofollow">on their blog</a>.</p>

<div>The Dragon will not be having any of your snide remarks on this field trip, Asmodean. I love how all it takes is a stare to shut him down. And Aviendha’s chilling with his mule.

<p>Like I said, these are just a few of the many comics and sketches that <a href="http://pettymotives.tumblr.com/tagged/asmodean" rel="external nofollow">pettymotives</a> has of Asmodean, and they're all excellent. </p>
