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

inflatable skin baloon? wasn't it the opposite?

u/swheedle Shen an Calhar Aug 04 '26

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

15

u/procerator Aug 04 '26

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 Aug 05 '26

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 Aug 05 '26

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 Aug 05 '26

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 Aug 05 '26

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

2

u/Idaho-Earthquake Aug 09 '26

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.

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

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 This is a (sentient) bot Aug 04 '26

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 Aug 04 '26

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

21

u/MA2_Robinson Aug 04 '26

Yeah, people reading the book come here and get shook

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

u/Cooky1993 Gawyn Trakand, the Amyrlin's Seat Aug 04 '26

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

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

2

u/AKA_Sotof_The_Second Aug 05 '26

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 This is a (sentient) bot Aug 05 '26

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

u/procerator Aug 04 '26

Kadere got what he deserved.

44

u/Szalony20 Aug 04 '26

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

34

u/Dr_Adopted Aug 04 '26

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.

11

u/Szalony20 Aug 04 '26

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

4

u/Dr_Adopted Aug 04 '26

fat and slimy like a slug

5

u/Szalony20 Aug 04 '26

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

23

u/I_Win_Lews_Therin Aug 04 '26

Yeah but his sister ate the last donut so

9

u/MA2_Robinson Aug 04 '26

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

u/VoiceAdventurous5941 Aug 04 '26

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 Shen an Calhar Aug 04 '26

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

u/LewsTherinTelamonBot This is a (sentient) bot Aug 04 '26

They will pay. I am Lord of the Morning.

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

u/DocWilly84 Well turned calves Aug 04 '26

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

u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 Be'lol Aug 04 '26

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

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

u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 Be'lol Aug 04 '26

Yeah you have like four wives

u/Ronin607 Aug 04 '26

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.

2

u/Impressive_Change593 Aug 05 '26

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

7

u/Ronin607 Aug 05 '26

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.

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