Eh, it's just another day? My boyfriend and I technically celebrate it, but we're pretty much the same with each other every day of the year. TBH, the whole idea of a specially designated romance day kinda stresses me out. He's the romantic one; I have zero romantic sense, so my only gift ideas are incredibly cliche. LOL. I do enjoy the special food, though!

Hey, all. Sorry I haven't been as active lately! I'm afraid I'm rather addicted to Twitter's latest phenomenon, the #twitteroftime community! Are any of you involved in the RP over there? I'm @_MHael_ and @_ayendan_ (OOC M'Hael). Rafe Judkins, Sarah Nakamura, and other talent associated with the upcoming show have been involved as well (notably with Sarah's Tuesday #WoTDanceParty).

If any of you wanna join, I have a list of all known active WoT character accounts. There are still plenty available! https://ayendan.tumblr.com/post/179765697989/twitteroftime-character-accounts-index

I don't really like to make New Year's resolutions; I constantly have a short-term goals list going, however. I just know that life can change abruptly and unexpectedly, and I don't want to end up in a situation where I have to abandon a New Year's resolution and then feel guilty about it. That's just a me thing, though. 

Snickerdoodle and butter cookies!

Cookies! Baked goods of all kinds, really. XD

Meat lover's! I want pizza now. I'm seriously ordering pizza because of this thread.

I've already posted at length on Tumblr and Facebook about my reasons for not watching the show when it comes out, so I won't trouble you all with it here. But I do intend to watch the Dumai's Wells scene on YouTube.

Eating cheerfully into oblivion. ?

I have not played sha'rah in Ages; no one else remembers how to play....

I dunno. LOL. That's my weird way of saying I don't have an actual answer. All the games I enjoy playing, I've continued to play, so. XD

I feel like my profile pic compels me to join this group! 
(Funnest part of having this license plate: Having a guy pull up next to me at a stop sign, give me the universal "roll your window down" sign, and ask me if I loved the Wheel of Time. Of course I told him Yes. He yelled "F***in A, man!" and drove off.)

#TeamLogain  #NeverTaim #NotMyM'Hael

 

Welcome! That's awesome! I have yet to have any experiences like that, although I do wear my Asha'man and Dedicated pins as accessories whenever I go out. XD

I love Logain (he's a major character in my current WoT fanfic), but Taim (he's the other lead) is still my favorite. Taim, Demandred, Moridin/Ish, and Logain are my favorite WoT characters. 

I've been thinking of getting inked with a Wheel Of Time-themed tattoo, thanks to some beautiful images I've seen on 'Con event pages. I'd like to have the Asha'man and Dedicated symbols at some point, but I don't want my first tattoo to be in such a sensitive area. I was wondering whether there's an official image of the gauntleted fist grasping the lightning bolt that was associated with M'Hael (gold), Sammael (steel), and Be'lal (silver) at different points in the series. The only one of those Chosen I really like is M'Hael, and gold is NOT my color. Did Demandred have his own version of the sigil, d'you know? I feel like he would, since the Chosen we know to have had a variation of that sigil were all military-oriented. My favorite colors are black and crimson (like the original Moridin), so I guess I could just go with those, although I'm not sure he ever used that sigil.

Any thoughts? Have any of you expressed your devotion to the Shadow with tattoos?

I love Halloween, so that's a factor. But I live in Florida, so I don't really notice the changing of the seasons other than that. When I lived in Massachusetts, it was my favorite time of the year; fall colors are gorgeous. 

As for plans, possibly Spooky Empire.

Pretty! *cheerfully stabs people with new dagger*

Thanks! 

I just realized that Ben is WAY too young to play Ishamael. Young Elan, maybe, but I doubt we'll see a lot of Age of Legends scenes, unfortunately. Especially after the whole Billy Zane fiasco. ?

I know there are plenty of fancast threads on Dragonmount at the moment, but I'm curious about who you'd cast as the Chosen, specifically. 

Originally, I'd wanted Shane Brolly (Kraven in Underworld) to play Demandred, but after seeing Timeless, I've changed my answer to Goran Visnjic. I know that official WoT artist Ariel Burgess used Goran as a face reference.

For Osan'gar, I thought of Robert Carlyle (Rumplestiltskin a.k.a. Mr. Gold on Once); he'd also be a brilliant Padan Fain, I think. It's delightful how demented he can be. Oh, and Ben Barnes (Dorian Gray) would be an excellent Ishamael. 

The only actress I can see for Lanfear is Lana Parilla, Once's Evil Queen. I desperately want Juliet Landau (Drusilla on BtVS) to play Mesaana. Helena Bonham Carter as Moghedien, maybe? 

Graendal is a lot trickier. I'd originally thought Natalie Dormer, but I'd prefer to stay away from the GoT cast. My other idea was Katherine Boecher (Supernatural's Lilith), but, as someone on Tumblr pointed out, she's not nearly voluptuous enough. Her face and attitude are perfect, though, IMO. 

That's all I have for now. Thoughts?

Give ideas of new movies of anything someone should make.

 

My example: Someone, probably Disney, should make a SWTOR movie about the times of Darth Revan.

Revan is one of my favorite Sith! I am absolutely on board with this.

Do adaptations of novels count? Re-makes? Or does it have to be original?

Now that I've seen Timeless, I have to add Garcia Flynn (season 1 Big Bad). He is seriously nefarious and an agent of chaos, and I would love for the actor, Goran Visnjic, to play Demandred in the upcoming WoT TV series.

What do I do next, BTW? Am I supposed to do anything, or is someone going to  message me...?

Ha, yeah, sorry about that! As the mods already mentioned, though, no one really chooses their own factions. That's why I asked how the faction leaders choose their members. I'd speculate about which one I think fits my personality best (I have a pretty definite idea), but I think I should wait 'til they tell me.

I'm not annoyed very easily. And neither is the new Moridin.

Noted. XD I'll go stab a few of my fellow Lightfuls in your honor or something as soon as I get the chance. LOL.
