Perrin didn't love Egwene, he loved Rand. He shows up at Egwene's stuff because he knows Rand will be there. There's a love triangle but it's bi as gently caress. Edit: he looks at Egwene because she took his man and he's jealous

Dropping little hints that Thom and Moraine like each other and will get together after 13 books, totally fine. Perrin trying to white knight Egwene in the tv show and getting into a spat with Rand about it, how loving dare you pretend there was anything there.

Wait, wait, are there people who don't think that Rand and Mat were bangin' on their road trip back to civilization? This is very unsettling.

Ya'all realize that "She laughed at his jokes, this means he's into him" is a thing really dumb and lovely dudes do right? You're basing this entire theory on something we tell people not to do to barristas.

Shageletic posted:? Gross dudes do this thing where some customer facing job lady will smile and laugh while interacting with them for their job. These dudes will take this to mean "She's totally into me as a romantic interest" and then typically creep on her for a while longer and either chicken out, while still creeping as often as they can, or make a scene when they try to ask them out and get shot down. They think this way because they can't conceive of a woman being nice to them unless it's for horny reasons.

The reason they think this is because “laughs at jokes == romantic interest” is a common literary/TV device. No author would waste time on all the social interactions that don’t matter to the story, so any time something like this does come up, it’s probably because it matters to the story somehow.

Shageletic posted:These are fictional characters? And more importantly, Thom isn't in a position of power over Moiraine, and there's multiple data points throughout the series as to their relationship; it's not just the one laugh, they're clearing fencing with each other from their first meeting at the beginning of Eye.

If the barista in the example ended up asking the customer out it recontextualizes the laughter. Moiraine does this after Thom helps save her from the Tower of Ghenji.

The claim is about the author's intent, which given the nature of linear time means that it can't be recontextualized. It happened or it didn't. Also moiraine isn't in this example at all.
