#i dear y'all to tell me i'm super duper special and then say sike

I love what the show is doing with Egwene. Her journey intrigues me to no end. One thread from her arc in season 2 so far is the fallout of not being chosen. Think about it. You're Egwene, you live in a village in the middle of no where. Why should you expect more from life than what you are given? Only you do. You believe it so badly. You apprentice to be a wisdom, the highest mantle available to you. Then an Aes Sedai comes to take you away. She says you might be the dragon, the saviour of the world. And think about it, among the candidates you are the best. Briefly, you are magnificent. And then you are not. Rand is the dragon. And Nynaeve is the sun. This is what you are told. So, you can channel? That just makes you a fancy sort of ordinary. 'The Dragon Reborn', 'the most powerful channeler in a 1,000 years', none of this was earned, it was just given to them. And what do you get? You get what you have always had. What you make for yourself.
