Thanks to everyone who tuned into the #WoTIdol Holiday event. I couldn't watch live, and it looks like it is blocked, so I'm sorry I can't properly show gratitude to those who had nice things to say then! But my song is now public, and you can enjoy at the link below: youtu.be/1ZJAWrcWyMY?...

The weirdest take from a new WoT reader coworker at the end of EotW: Thom Merrilin is a cross between Tom Bombadil and Bilbo Baggins. (The others were more conventional) #wotskies

SPLR 1A Mild Lore Spoilers A new Wheel of Time reader (Ch 2 EotW) just told me it was a spoiler to say that reincarnation is a major theme of the series. Am I wrong to think that is off-base?

@avisilber.bsky.social I tried to DM you like you asked me to on WoTIdol but your name is grayed out and won't let me. Maybe you disabled DMs?

My #WoTIdol2025 entry is officially submitted! How about yours? #WoTIdol

Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara in armor pointing with his axe toward the vantage point of the viewer. Below him, the text reads "LORD GOLDENEYES WANTS YOU TO SUBMIT TO WOT IDOL." "YOU" is in red, the rest in black with a red glow behind.

That feeling when you upload your #WoTIdol parody (which I performed all the instruments for) to YouTube, and get an auto-copyright claim for a female artist covering the original song playing a completely different instrument! #TheWheelOfTime

With #TheWheelOfTime and now Colbert, it goes to show that these days, ratings and quality alone won't save shows if the people in charge of the show's platform have made up their minds. 🫤

On the left, Wheel of Time is shown as Prime's number 1 TV show in the U.S. On the right, Stephen Colbert, with this text: CBS CANCELS TOP RATED "THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT".

Still can't get used to the fact that the new leader of Syria (Sharaa) has basically the same name as a continent from #TheWheelOfTime (Shara). 😆

On the left, a map of Shara from The World of the Wheel of Time, the continent east of the Aiel Waste. On the right, Ahmed al'Sharaa, Acting President of Syria. He is an Arab man with pale skin, short dark hair, and a thick beard down to his collar. He is wearing a Western business suit with a white shirt and blue tie. A bundle of contradictions, he has a piercing intense gaze but a friendly smile.

All, be advised I have also tested positive for COVID. ☹️ Please get a test yourself if you were near me this weekend at #WoTCon!

A comment at #WoTCon: "Of course Egwene is your favorite character, your last name is Trakand." 🤯 (I did not think about this when I picked the handle, and my appreciation is respect not romantic feelings, but ... the shoe fits!) #TheWheelOfTime

Ready to serve at Her Majesty's pleasure. Forward the white lion of Andor! #WoTCon #TheWheelOfTime

A man stands with feet close together, hands behind his back, in a red sateen shirt with buttons running diagonally up the front. He has a silver lion pin at the top of the buttons at his throat. His shirt is tucked into loose-fitting tan trousers, which are tucked into tan boots.

Admittedly I've been in and out lately. But I'm excited to be going to #WoTCon next weekend for my first #TheWheelOfTime convention! Random ?: Saturday night seems like when people wear cosplay the most. Is this also true for Saturday during the day? How many change clothes day to night?

My hope is officially restored thanks to Rafe's Instagram post. People in the drivers' seat still fight! #SaveWoT!!

From Rafe Judkin's Instagram. Relevant portion: "Will the Wheel of Time get to do that with another network and finish the story? ... I certainly hope it does ..." Under that I added, "And now, so do I!"

#TheWheelOfTime is not being shopped to other platforms. I feel very Westerosi when I say that I might be losing hope. 😢 screenrant.com/the-wheel-of...

Looks like RoP is getting WoT's production budget ... for distribution. 😒 www.techradar.com/streaming/am...

Amazon wants more people to watch its two most expensive TV shows in The Rings of Power and Citadel, but not on Prime Video

I spy a potential viewership bump for these Prime Video TV Originals

#WoTShowSpoilers Major #WoTBookSpoilers SPLR 306D/9D Anyone else think this moment from 306 foreshadowed/taught Rand something about cleansing saidin? #WoTSkies #TheWheelOfTime

Josha Stradowski as Rand in Ep 306 of The Wheel of Time, when he kills Sammael.

He makes an "O" with his hand and watches intently as the One Power funnels through it. The Corruption on saidin gets bottled up above his hand at first, with the pure One Power filtering through on its own at first.
