A poem titled "A Helper's Prayer." "Are you okay?" Let my last words be words of love. Let my last act be an act of love. Let me be brave enough to stare Hateful, angry cowards In their masked, soulless faces And still stretch out my hand to Help a stranger. "Are you okay?" If I should meet a violent end Let it be because they feared The peace I fought to build. And when the story hits the news Let me have lived a life Of such radical kindess That no lie can erase it. This is not okay. Let their cruelty be the last gasp Of a dying world we have outgrown. Let each time I show compassion Be a seed of revolution And let those seeds grow roots Every time I dare to ask, "Are you okay?"

Something I wrote while processing.

Oof. Too real. 😭

(A Memory of Light Prologue)

"It could crush you, that despair. But the act of creating something--anything--fought back."

Evil doesn't always have to be fought in the mud. Sometimes resistance can be beautiful. Keep creating things. Darkness dies in the face of joy.

Yeah, that's fair. I do wish it were on a different platform.

Damn, Josha Stradowski's acting has been truly phenomenal this season.

I think so! I'm toward the end of my first read-through, and I think the show has done a great job of preserving the essence of the characters while also addressing some elements that have aged poorly. Season 2 and Season 3 have some fantastic acting and emotional moments, too. 😊

Hm, well, I was hooked right away, so I'm not quite sure how to answer that, but I will say that I think season 2 was better than season 1, and season 3 has so far been at least on par with and maybe even better than season 2, and S2 and S3 gave the younger actors some great opportunities to shine.

Season 3 Episode 5 miiiiight be my favorite episode of the show so far. Holy fuck I'm absolutely ruined. If they keep this up, I'm not sure I'll survive the show. My heart. 😭

The opposite of fascism Living well and fighting back in a time of terrors

A much-needed reminder for me and for anyone else who sometimes has a hard time not feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed thanks to... *gestures at everything*

(S3E1) Don't mind me, just thinking about the way Lan managed to play the dutiful warder while everyone was getting attacked but broke immediately the moment Nynaeve called out for him. 🥺

Ahahaha accurate. 😆
