Good question, Rand. Why do Crown have Swords in it?

I must inform you all now that the only correct casting for Cadsuane is Cher

#Cher Sedai #cadsuane melaidhrin #wheel of time

like ready to be proven wrong, but I don't think that Cadsuane is necessarily gonna appear any earlier than she did in the books. I think they're just setting her up better than in the books (ie not introducing her as an important player like right before she shows up and expecting us to be impressed by that)

#this isnt something specific to Cadsuane #this happens a lot especially with the Forsaken and whatnot #but Cadsuane is like a big moment where RJ clearly didn't have her laid out when he started the series (which is fine) #and we were just expected to accept that she's been very important this entire time even though she was never brought up once #in all the time we spent in the White Tower #so it just kinda felt weird #and you can claim 'well the characters didn't know about her either' #but like I absolutely don't buy that as an excuse #especially as mentioned before #we spent a lot of time in the White Tower and among Aes Sedai #if she's been this important the entire time she should have come up before now #which i think the show sees and is correcting #wheel of time #cadsuane melaidhrin #wot on prime #wot show spoilers #wot book spoilers

i really hope Adjoa Andoh plays Cadsuane Sedai. i really think she would be fantastic.

Tam al'Thor vs Cadsuane Sedai was the face-off I never knew I needed. Him calling her a bully was so gratifying.

I think it’s absolutely hilarious that every time Cadsuane is introduced everyone is like “omg she’s the oldest and most powerful living Aes Sedai, a true legend!” and then none of the main characters have any idea at all that she even existed before that

#I know it’s because she didn’t exist before this book but #iirc right Moiraine had no idea who she was in New Spring #cadsuane melaidhrin #a crown of swords #wot book spoilers

[asha-mage]

I have exerted an unreasonable amount of energy to determine if Elena Kotab is a book reference or not, and I have managed to determine that she is not.

As near as I can tell Cadsuane's most important pre-series relationships that we are aware of are Myriam Copan and Sereille Bagand, both of whom come up in Egwene's Amyrlin Crash Course.

I find the idea that Cadsuane apparently had a lover/best friend so important to her that Elayne recalls their relationship as a defining part of Cadsaune's legend DEEPLY interesting. Elayne is a White Tower Fangirl so obviously she's a bit more familiar with these things, and she might be exaggerating a bit, but if she isn't.....My brain ITCHES to fill in the blank here, and to uncover new Cadsuane dimensions/lore.

#cadsuane melaidhrin #Myriam Copan #Sereiile Bagand #elayne trakand #elena katab #if it was me I probably would have gone with Sereille Bagand but given those two had a uh fraught relationship I get why they didn't #Wot Book Spoilers #TPOD Spoilers

Mean old ladies tournament

it is only a tournament in my dreams

Propaganda:

Cadsuane Melaidhrin: She's like 300 years old and one of the most powerful living Aes Sedai. She keeps letting people think she's finally died and then appearing like a jumpscare to bully people into submission. Incredible accessories game. Assaulted the wizard pope and got away with it. Regularly insults the most powerful and unstable boy alive.

Olenna Tyrell: Queen of Thorns. Approximately the size of a hobbit and everyone's scared of her. Tells people she broke off the engagement with that Targaryen. Insults all her children. Calls her guards "Left" and "Right" bc she's too old to bother with names. Keeps complaining about "The Rains of Castamere." To the Lannisters. Straight up killed a kid so he wouldn't abuse her granddaughter.

Hot take: I like Cadsuane as a character.

#wheel of time #wheel of time book spoilers #cadsuane melaidhrin #like she's NOT a good person #but she's fascinating #this mythical figure everybody fangirls over #then we meet her and she's... less than #she's arrogant to the point of being dangerous #she's awful to rand #but in a way she is the kind of woman we don't ever get to see in media #there's always a redemption or an excuse #but for her she's just Like That #she's who moiraine could have been without her mission tbh #rand changed her #also sometimes I feel like she gets dogged on more because #we see how she impacted rand #but there are far worse characters in the wot world

[ofthebrownajah]

I am curious how they're gonna handle Cads in the show. Cause like it would track if they gave her more nuance like they've been doing with the other AS in the show but at the same time if show Cadsuane isn't abusive then she's not really Cadsuane to me

And I feel like her actually being abusive towards Rand is important to highlight how much she isn't Moiraine

And with them making Rand and Moiraine's relationship arguably more positive than in the books that will stick out a lot more

#wheel of time #wot book spoilers #my guess is that they'll at least give us her motive #even if her methods for her motive are abusive #granted rj did give us that too but it might land better visually idk #also really lean in on cads only seeing rand as a weapon and a tool rather than an actual person #while moiraine does see him as a person #cadsuane melaidhrin #rand al'thor #moiraine damodred #also they should definitely pepper in that new spring factoid that moiraine can't stand cadsuane

[leadflowers]

I sometimes get the impression that Cadsuane is on the verge of acknowledging Rand’s trauma and actually doing something other than telling him to suck it up. She knows what the sisters who kidnapped him did to him and how much it affected him, and sees how he is pushing everyone away, rejecting emotion, turning inwards more and more. She claims he needs to learn how to laugh and cry again, which I interpreted as helping him rediscover his humanity before he completely loses himself, reminding him that the Dragon Reborn is also a person, not just a weapon to be pointed at the Dark One. 

But then, what does she do? She provokes him, humiliates him, treats him like an unruly child and then punishes him for lashing out at this arrogant bully of a woman who can’t see past her own nose. I don’t know if her status as a “legend” is to blame (she bullies and browbeats everyone around her) or the fact that she’s from Far Madding where men are second class citizens, but for a wise Aes Sedai legend with Rand’s best interests at heart, she sure doesn’t act like it!

When he does decide to trust her, it’s not because of anything she’s personally done to earn that trust, but because Min’s viewing told him he had to put up with her.

So I had this crazy fucking dream the Rosamund Pike refused to come back as Moiraine for WoT so they cast Maggie fucking Smith as Moiraine... Honestly I think she'd make a better Cadsuane but okay dream...

the thing about Cadsuane Sedai is she is such that, when given the choice between her and Rand Al’Thor, I will out-stubborn them both just to be against her
