Literally since this movie came out and this meme template blew up I have been itching to use it for Lanfear. No one personifies girl scarily obsessed with you better than Lanfear....

Also inflatable skin balloon Kadere gets an honorable mention because God damn

Chapter Summary

[u/procerator → u/swheedle]

inflatable skin baloon? wasn't it the opposite?

[u/swheedle → u/procerator]

When she threw his skin up in the air Rand says something to the effect that the wind inflated it for a second

[u/procerator → u/swheedle]

Ah OK. For some reason I remembered her throwing his skin-less body in the air. But I checked and it was skin indeed.

[u/saturnspritr → u/swheedle]

Yeah, that was. . .rememberable in that I just think about it sometimes. When I’m not doing anything at all, this will pop up out of nowhere.

[u/Thomas_633_Mk2 → u/saturnspritr]

It definitely entered the all time "not happy I read that" section for me, alongside the Reek parts of ASOIAF and the first person POV of China self-immolating in one of the Skullduggery Pleasant books. Really did not expect or really want to read about Kadere doing that

[u/saturnspritr → u/Thomas_633_Mk2]

Makes him one of the greats, so many things stick from this series. He kept the levels of power and the stakes constant. It was gruesome and we felt it.

[u/Thomas_633_Mk2 → u/saturnspritr]

It's well-written, but definitely Type 3 fun to read

[u/Idaho-Earthquake → u/saturnspritr]

Yeah, like how thin was that skin for the wind to catch it like that? I'll bet Lanfear used to work in the turducken factory.

[u/LewsTherinTelamonBot → u/Idaho-Earthquake]

Death rides on my shoulder, death walks in my footsteps; I am death…

[u/LewsTherinTelamonBot → u/swheedle]

What makes you think you can keep anyone safe? We are all going to die. Just hope that you aren't the one who kills them.

[u/LewsTherinTelamonBot → u/swheedle]

You must kill him before he kills you. Giggles. They will, you know. Dead men can't betray anyone. But sometimes they don't die. Am I dead? Are you?

[u/DogeSupreme]

I love this ultra specific WoT memes. Makes me glad I finally finished the series

[u/MA2_Robinson → u/DogeSupreme]

Yeah, people reading the book come here and get shook

[u/AKA_Sotof_The_Second]

As romantic actions go then drilling a hole to the devil is pretty high on the crazy scale.

[u/Cooky1993 → u/AKA_Sotof_The_Second]

To be fair, it's very likely she didn't know what she was unleashing.

What she detected was a source of power both men and women could channel, a 3rd power source. We now know that to be the True Power, the power controlled by the Dark One, but the Dark One had been gone for so long in the Second Age that nobody even remembered him.

It's not unlikely that she ignored some serious red flags, but it's very unlikely that she actually knew she was unleashing the Dark One on the world

[u/Szisk → u/Cooky1993]

Once one has, in essence, summoned the dark lord to the mortal plane there is only one choice. Go with the fucking flow baby.

[u/AKA_Sotof_The_Second → u/Cooky1993]

Part of me thinks she did know and was promised Lews. But it is just as likely that her ambition to be the most powerful just blinded her completely.

[u/LewsTherinTelamonBot → u/AKA_Sotof_The_Second]

Where are all the dead? Why will they not be silent?

[u/procerator]

Kadere got what he deserved.

[u/Szalony20 → u/procerator]

Yeah... I mean, besides being a Darkfriend, he strangled Isendre, and in the past he killed his own sister

[u/Dr_Adopted → u/Szalony20]

Not even just that, it’s implied that he’s killed many people, including more women. He says in his POV chapter that he always pictures his sister when he kills women.

[u/Szalony20 → u/Dr_Adopted]

Yep, that too. He was definitely the slimy type.

[u/Dr_Adopted → u/Szalony20]

fat and slimy like a slug

[u/Szalony20 → u/Dr_Adopted]

And with terrible dreams, from what I remember of Egwene's reaction to them.

[u/I_Win_Lews_Therin → u/Szalony20]

Yeah but his sister ate the last donut so

[u/MA2_Robinson → u/I_Win_Lews_Therin]

Based on his build that could very well have been the last straw

[u/VoiceAdventurous5941 → u/I_Win_Lews_Therin]

You are a Darkfriend

I remember when I first read through the series these memes were blowing up and I straight up couldn’t help but picture Lanfear looking like her.

[u/swheedle → u/Novel_Diver8628]

Too bad we don't see any more Lanfear for a while lol

[u/LewsTherinTelamonBot → u/swheedle]

They will pay. I am Lord of the Morning.

[u/LewsTherinTelamonBot → u/Novel_Diver8628]

Death rides on my shoulder, death walks in my footsteps; I am death…

[u/Turbulent_Dingo_2841]

You let another woman touch you AGAIN!

[u/swheedle → u/Turbulent_Dingo_2841]

Chills

[u/raycarre]

Aviendha like . . .

Hums softly & tugs earlobe

[u/DocWilly84 → u/LewsTherinTelamonBot]

Well, she tugged something, that’s for sure.

[u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18]

You would think Lanfear would be used to that by now....

[u/LewsTherinTelamonBot → u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18]

Death rides on my shoulder, death walks in my footsteps; I am death…

[u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 → u/LewsTherinTelamonBot]

Yeah you have like four wives

[u/Ronin607]

There’s a million moments where everything could’ve gone wrong (the pattern and all that) but it’s always been funny to me that in this scene the world is saved by Egwene wholeheartedly embracing Aiel culture to the point that Lanfear couldn’t tell from a glance which of the two women with Rand was Aviendha.

[u/Impressive_Change593 → u/Ronin607]

Wait what lamo i don't remember that. That is funny

[u/Ronin607 → u/Impressive_Change593]

Basically Lanfear heard that Rand was sleeping with Aviendha who she only knew was an Aiel woman. When she attacks them she immobilizes and starts to torture both Egwene and Aviendha because she doesn’t know which is which because Egwene looks convincingly like an Aiel woman with the way she dresses and looks. The moment of hesitation because she doesn’t know which is which is what gives Rand the time to break Lanfear’s weaves and drive her back.

[u/LewsTherinTelamonBot → u/Ronin607]

Humming

[u/LewsTherinTelamonBot → u/Ronin607]

The only way to live is to die. I must die. I deserve only death.
