What precisely are you implying? Is being "gay" now a bad thing? Spell out your thoughts.

Am I supposed to know what this nerd shit is?

Did that guy last night ever find the pictures of the brochure that explains Robert Jordan's inspirations for each country?

Question
Are the parallels between cultures conscious?

Robert Jordan
Well, the parallels are conscious, but I've taken, I've tried to take come care that there's no exact duplication. There are bits from this culture and this historical period, and this sort of other culture and other historical period, fitted together to make this culture or that culture. You cannot look at the Sea Folk for instance and say, "Oh yes, ah well, that's from India. That is the culture of Japan, or India, or China, or England, or whatever." Because there is no single culture in that way. The Aiel for example have bits of Zulu, and bits of Apache, and bits of Cheyenne Indians, and bits of Bedouin and bits of Japanese cultures, and also some things that I simply thought would be neat. ... So I could fit them into the culture.

Question
Which cultures are in the Seanchan?

Robert Jordan
The Seanchan also are the melting of things that have come from many different human cultures to make their culture. There have been many rigid stratified, rigidly hierarchical cultures. It's a very human thing. The concept of being able to climb above your station is a relatively new one in human culture. You were born where you were born for a reason, and that is the place you will stay, that has been the norm for human culture, for most of history.

I mean, even the groups...the Whitecloaks are the people who know the truth. Not just truth, they know Truth, they know Veritas, they know Truth with a capital T, they're the Taliban, the Ku Klux Klan, they're the people who know the truth and you must believe their truth or they will kill you. but they're not the Taliban, they're not the Teutonic Knights, they're not the Ku Klux Klan. They are simply that concept.

>>86001211
Seanchan are Imperial Xian hierarchy except RJ knows shit about China apart from jade and concubines so he used imperial nippon's caste system instead, with a history of eastern Alexandrian empire that eventually gave birth to Constantinople and the Byzantine empire.

Mr. Jordan...I play a one of the best telnet games based on your books (cshadow.net port 4000). It runs as close to you books as we can get. My question is this...I play a Seanchan character and have for some time. What was your basis when creating the Seanchan race and the structure of their society? I enjoy the race completely and love the structure of its hierarchy and was just curious as to what they are created from in your mind...? Thank you!!
Robert Jordan
Imperial China. Japan during the Shogunites, with strong dollups from the Persian Empire and from the Ottoman.

Stop shitting on RJ when you don't know shit yourself.

If you don't reply to this post with the name of the absolute best Wheel of Time grill, Ba'alzamon will come and kill your mother in her sleep tonight.

There IS an objectively correct answer.

RJ a shit, word of god a shit, alexandrian empire led to the persian empire, and i got 3/4 right just from knowing my history, applying it deductively from what is presented instead of being a rigid fanboi who sucks off everything in a literal manner

Idris Elba as Rand al Thor

>>86002922
Please don't call me names. I just looked through his interview archives and he seems extremely well-informed about history.

>>86002800
Best grill for waifu purposes, or best girl who gave you a "...wow." moment?

For the first one... you know thinking back on it all the girls were self-righteous, weren't they? Hard to say. I like the aiel though generally, so probably one of them.

Best character though? Probably Verin. Wrapped in mystery until the end, beautifully done.

>>86003189
He couldn't even own up Artur Paendrag Hawkwing is named after the English Arthur yet has the backstory of Alexander conquering the entire western known world. That's his idea of deconstructing mythical characters, autistically mix-and-matching names and stories and calling them original? What is a strong dollup lol? con-going, smelly sensitive obeselord

>>86003445
>He couldn't even own up Artur Paendrag Hawkwing is named after the English Arthu
Oh, you're just stupid. Never mind.

>>86003838
>the interview archives have no ready-made defense for what he's saying
>where's the downboat button?
until next time kiddo

I just hope the sranc don't look too fake

>>86004256
He clearly used the English Arthur for Arthur Hawkwing, you idiot. Don't make up stupid shit and expect to not be called stupid, stupid.

>>86003445
>What is a strong dollup lol?
It's a hobby where you play with paper or plastic dolls and make them talk to each other like they're actors in a play

God damned fucking retarded millenials.

>>86002800
Min.

No wait, I hate my mother and want her to die. Elayne.

>>86002922
>alexandrian empire led to the persian empire
You have this backwards. Alexander's Empire and those of his eastern successors were built on the skeleton of the Achaemenid Persian Empire.

>>86004486
Why are you suddenly playing dumb now and expect anyone to believe you can't recognize a conjunction, this part of the redditor losing at the internet playbook taught in the interview archives? No wonder you suck the dick of this series.

I can't believe I issued two responses to a literally retarded person. Fuck.

>>86004492
How strong is it as a hobby in a scale of 1 to swooning escapism?

>>86000649

He said it sounds as gay as your post

>>86004678
If Hawkwing was randland's Alexander, whose placeholder was LTT?

>>86005554
You are so fucking dumb.

>>86005678
Please don't call me names on account of your feelings

>>86005744
Randland is Earth you stupid moronic baby. You're probably wearing a hat right now.

>>86005554
Caesar and Siddhartha would be my guess.

>>86005834
Both white personalities of white history? This adaptation is never happening with that attitude.

People will watch this thinking it's as good as Game of Thrones and be disappointed. WoT is so cliche and Mary Sue.

>>86000649
It never changed from being bad. So there's that.

>>86006033
It's never getting made.

I can't wait for television to ruin another story I love.

Threadly reminder red eagle entertainment is still involved, who will they murder this time?

Robert Jordan and Martin are both shit stains in literature. Actually, most genre fiction is where literature goes to die. These long "epics" are the epitome of why genre fiction sucks dick. Dune barely gets away with it and Tolkien made it "okay" to turn some shit story into 2k pages. Go read a book that fucking matters, you faggots.

North Indian Indo-Aryan kshatriya from over a thousand years ago? Dude was probably pretty fare skinned.

Post Scenes you know they'll fuck up.

I'll start:
Mat vs the Gholam in Ebou Dar

>>86002800
It's Moiraine or Tuon there are literally no other good answers

>>86017060
Alanna bond-raping Rand. They'll spin it so that he's not as mad or kind of accepts that he needs her to do it to him.

these threads are making me want to re-read the series but I remember how much of a chore it got after book 6, I was pretty much skim reading to get to mat or rand chapters

>>86009412

Books are dead anon. We will never have a Hamsun, Flaubert or Tolstoy ever again.
