“A familiarity,” indeed. Very funny, Team Jordan. - no idea...

Geez, no consent issues here. I am not sure a proportional response is always actually proportional, you guys! What the hell? - maybe tuon telling mat to bed her now?

Dammit, dammit, no, don’t agree, don’t agree to – DAMMIT. Well, there goes the neighborhood. You MORON. (Maybe?) - perrin-related?

I have definitely been on the Internet too long, because everything I’m coming up with to comment on/wonder about re: this is SO not fit for polite company. Y’all would be SCANDALIZED. …Wait, what am I talking about, most of you have been on the Internet just as long, you’re just as bad. Never mind. - threesome or some such fun naughty act....

Hah, so sure of that theory, were you? Well, so were a lot of people. So much for that! - hmmm. no idea, maybe callandor related?

His pocket? Seriously? - erm, mat-related since jokesters pull things out of their pockets?

And here would be where I get choked up for the first time. I suspect it will not be the last. - some early battle scene

DAMN STRAIGHT, MAN. Thank you. - logain gets taim.

…Yup, here’s Choked Up Incident #2. - a specific death, maybe lan?

Huh. It just keeps coming back to truth, doesn’t it. - rand-related

Wow, I totally forgot that ______ didn’t actually know that. And yes, dude, your timing sucks balls. Sheesh. - no idea.

And here’s Choked Up Incident #3, and over a sparring session! - ok, maybe not lan = dead in #2 as this could be a sparring session between rand and lan? or rand the one hand and mat the one eye?

God, they are so WEIRD. I totally don’t know how to feel about this relationship. But then, apparently neither do they, so that’s… all right? I guess? - mat and tuon

Holy crap, THROW IT AWAY RIGHT NOW ARE YOU CRAZY. …Wait, stupid question. - egwene-related, just because

*blink* *blink* Well, I’ll be damned. Mentioned twice, even! I’m not sure if that’s a sop to shut me up or a nod that I was right, or both, but I don’t care, because awesome. The most likely option, of course, is that it didn’t have a damn thing to do with me at all, and ultimately it is totally irrelevant anyway, but I don’t care, because thank you. I am Pleased. - hehe, no idea.

AHAHAHA. Just in case there were any trolls out there still insisting on it, eh? - taimandred, even though it has been thoroughly debunked....

God, FINALLY. Also: whoever had that development in the betting pool is gonna make a mint, yo. It wasn’t me, but that’s probably because I didn’t bother to guess. - blood on the rocks-related?

Hey, don’t you know you’ll go blind if you do that? Heh heh. - gawyn masturbating???

Uh. Is that who I think it is? Because whooooa. - horn of valere related?

What? Are you kidding me? That is the worst name EVER! Ugh! I protest! I stomp my foot in your general terrible-nomenclaturing direction! Gah! - heh, elayne's kids?

Learned a new word: abatis. Also, ouch. - doesn't bode well.

Well, that wasn’t tense or anything. Also: PREACH IT, SISTER. - nynaeve related because i loves her?

WHAAAAAT. That seriously can’t be right. …Can it? [later] Well, okay, I was right that it wasn’t right, go me, but that sucks almost as badly! Gah! - hmm. a sacrifice? a turncoat? a falsely-reported death?

This would be one of those points in a story where there is really only one applicable phrase, and that phrase is oh shit. - shadow sneak attack.

Hey, no, that is NOT COOL. Whhhhyyy do you suck so much, seriously? - gawyn-related since leigh hates him. maybe fain since he sucks so much period.

Ah, damn. Well, one prophecy fulfilled. - bashere and tenobia dying.

Ha ha ha, really? That is hilarious. I sort of feel like it is cheating. Actually there is no “sort of” about it, it is totally cheating, but it’s also kind of awesome in its blatant cheatiness. Or something. I am Amused. - mat related, would love to know if it is and if so, what the hell it is.

*wide eyes* Now that would be a thing to see. Daaaaamn. - the healing of the blight?

Well, there’s a finally dropped shoe that came out of bloody nowhere. I have no idea whether to be annoyed or pleased. [later] Oh. Well, that’s okay then. Good for you! hmm, nice and vague.

Holy Law of Conservation of Characters, Batman! When was the last time we saw ________, TGH? Heh. - the man driving the apple cart rand and mat hitched a ride in?

ZOMG they are adorable. That is probably disturbing. It should be disturbing! Why isn’t this disturbing? STOP BEING SO CUTE DAMMIT YOU’RE CONFUSING ME - elves appear in randland?

Yeah, well, dude, what did you expect? That wasn’t bringing a knife to a gun fight; that was bringing a knife to a Global Thermonuclear Warfare fight. Sheesh. Also: Damn. That sucks. - tam-related? dies trying to save rand in a channelers-only event?

Well. That… that sucked more. Like, a lot. Wow. - could be a million things.

And that sucked too. Clearly I have come to the portion where things suck, a lot. - more death/shadow kicking ass....

Oh, yeah, that’s going to go well. [later] …Aaand it really, really didn’t. Toldja. - poor battle decision, i'll say by.....the illianers?

That is not how I expected that prophecy to be fulfilled. Awesome. - oooh!

Well, jeez. Things can stop sucking anytime now! [later] Oh. Never mind. Sort of. - oooh X2!

AHAHAHA. It’s like Alias, except without the blue rubber dresses. And less government oversight. And with, you know, magic. Okay, so it’s not really anything like Alias, but it was damn funny anyway. - annnd ok....

Okay, it is RIDICULOUS that I just had Choked Up Incident #4 over this, but – but – NOOOOOO. Not fair! The sads, I have all of them right now. - something unexpected and twingy, maybe siuan dying?

…And so this wasn’t Choked Up Incident #5, so much as it was straight-up actual crying. Dammit. Dammit. - nynaeve sacrifices herself to save rand or lan?

Wow, that was perfect. That was perfect. - yay!

You’re just going to have to imagine me flailing at this point, because I have no idea how to textually encompass my reaction to this revelation. Or to this entire scene, really, but especially that bit. I would almost have to *headdesk* at it, except for how diabolically clever it was. How can something be so awesome and piss me off so much in the same breath? Holy shit! - hmmm. black tower-related? fain and the red veiled aiel-related? slayer-related?

NO WAY. OMG YAY. Sorry, must clap like a seal for a moment, brb. Also, how did I not see that coming? My hindsight, she is so 20/20! - moraine saving the day. or something.

Oh, yeah. I was wondering when they would show up. Not that I’m particularly thrilled that they’re here, of course. - sharan army?

*falls over laughing* Oh my God, that is hilarious. And somewhere a certain someone is saying SO THERE, IT WAS RELEVANT, WASN’T IT. Touché, Team Jordan. Touché. - i wish i knew more inside jokes.

Holy crap, it’s like Jack-in-the-Box! Except with lots and lots of death! Awesome! - cool/scary ashaman explosions?

WELP, WE ALL KNEW THIS WAS COMING. But fortunately not in the way we were – expecting? Sort of? …And that does divide up nicely this way, doesn’t it. Well done. - rand's sacrifice

And then:

Oh.


Right, walking away for a moment.

Maybe several moments. - mat dying too?
