Two hands wearing sapphire engagement rings over a floral wreath made with tiny white baby’s breath, small flat eucalyptus leaves, and spiky blue sea holly.

Ryma Sedai of the Yellow Ajah making graceful weaves rotating one hand over another, almost like a dance. She is a beautiful Black woman with natural hair in an updo wearing a long sleeved yellow blouse, a brown vest, a deep red skirt and a serene expression while she prepares to kick ass. Text overlay reads she’s Ryma and she’s Yellow Ajah.

Selfie of me next to my girlfriend. We’re both smiling outside on a sunny day with trees in the background. I have dark auburn, wavy shoulder length hair and am wearing a floral spaghetti strap top over a pale green t-shirt. She has dark tight curls to their chin and freckles and is wearing a collared, button down top with subtle stripes and a key on a necklace.

Selfie of a smiling white woman with shoulder length wavy brown hair. I’m sitting in front of my bookshelf where you can see some Wheel of Time books and part of a framed picture that says Jeremy Bearimy. I’m wearing a black tank top that says Reading the Pattern over a white t-shirt.

Screenshot of part of the Rotten Tomatoes article. Relevant part reads:

How it works: Renewals are obvious: new season = yay!
Cancelations are more complicated. When a network or streaming service announces that they're not making another season of a show, we count that as cancelled (or
"canceled" if you spell it without SEO considerations). Sure, some shows "come to a natural end," but someone somewhere said "enough." So to avoid debating the semantics of "cancelled" versus "retired," we're just going to go with the former. There are also some instances, either due to scheduling conflicts, or various delays, where the answer is "I dunno." In those instances, we will leave the series as renewed and list the most recent season until we're told otherwise.

Artwork by JRR Tolkien of a dragon flying over a mountainous landscape and a crescent moon. The artwork is simple color work in blue, green, black and white. The quote on it reads: "I wish it need not have happened in my time," said
Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
J.R.R. Tolkien

A four part image. Top left has a photo of Egwene touching the face of a traumatized Rand outside of Rhuidean superimposed over a rocky ground. To the right of it is an image from Groundhog Day where Larry the camera guy and Rita look down and he says they might be okay. Bottom left is an image of Lanfear looking at Egwene while she takes off Rand’s coat and he kisses her neck. It is superimposed on a rocky ground with bursting flames. The bottom right image is Larry and Rita with their faces lit by flames and he says well no, probably not now.

THE BARE MAGAZINE
Taylor Napier: I think there's a little something in it for everyone- we love to hit the high fantasy beats. We love to provide an hour (or longer if you are binging) a week where you can escape our world and dive into this crazy ass magical place. There are obviously a ton of fantasy shows out there, but I feel as though a ton of them shy away from their roots and try to basically just make the show Succession with Dragons- which is cool and obviously people love- but it takes the joy, the action and the adventure out of it a bit. Give me a woman shooting fire out of her hands any day of the week. We don't shy away from fun.
That being said, I think our show appeals to people who don't like fantasy as well, because we root everything in our characters first and foremost. We like to say we are an ensemble character drama wrapped in Sci-Fi/Fantasy packaging, and because we have so many characters, there's someone for everyone to love and love to hate.

Dean Craig Pelton from Community, a bald, twinky white man with glasses, looks sidelong at a computer screen. Text reads this better not awaken anything in me.

Screenshot of Sevanna in The Wheel of Time. She wears many large elaborate necklaces and on her head is either the most flamboyant, huge, woven hat or a hairstyle that might have taken days to create.

Three guys looking and pointing at a portrait of George Washington. Text reads I’ve had enough of this dude.

Poster of Moiraine in a cobalt blue halter dress with a decorative perforated metal chest piece. It has the disintegrating into sand design of all the Aiel Waste character posters.

I’m in a kayak, which isn’t visible, but I’m wearing an orange and black life vest over a dark pink shirt. I have light pink sunglasses on and my hair looks redder than usual because I’m in bright sun. There’s olive green water in the background and mangrove trees.

Elayne talking seriously to Rand. Her hair is loose and she wears a necklace and patterned top that are unlike her usual style.

Lan and Nynaeve kissing. His hair is pulled back and hers is in a braid.

Several blue and orange Nerf darts are arranged in my dark wavy hair and I look mildly amused. I’m wearing a white t-shirt and a sage sweater and no makeup. You can see my son’s hands just behind my head but not the rest of him.

Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski), Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike), and Lan Mandragoran (Daniel Henney) stand alongside Aiel gazing out across a rocky, sunlit desert. We can make out left to right, Bair, Melindhra, Rhuarc, and Melaine as well as a few unidentified others.

Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) and Lan Mandragoran (Daniel Henney) wield swords back to back against a blue skied mountainscape.

Golden weaves swirl around Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo) as she rages. Her arm is lifted upwards as she channels the One Power. She is wearing a familiar outfit of the Amyrlin Seat.

Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) holds a circular object that emits bright light in her outstretched hands, standing in a desert landscape.

Lanfear (Natasha O'Keeffe) stands in a doorway, looking over her shoulder. Her outfit is black and silver with a three headed snake cuff earring we have seen before.

Morgase Trakand (Olivia Williams) and Elaida (Shohreh Aghdashloo) stand side by side in front of a royal entourage in a hallway. Morgase is wearing an elaborate dress with huge white shoulder pieces that are reminiscent of angel wings. Elaida has a wide shouldered red dress with gold detailing.

Elayne Trakand (Ceara Coveney), Egwene al'Vere (Madeleine Madden), and Nynaeve al'Meara (Zoë Robins) sit astride horses infront a blue skied mountainscape. They are well dressed with armor like detailing. Elayne and Egwene wear their hair up and Nynaeve’s is loose.

Leaning against a pillar, Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) and Perrin Aybara (Marcus Rutherford) smile at Mat Cauthon (Dónal Finn) whilst drinking together.

Mat Cauthon (Dónal Finn), Nynaeve al'Meara (Zoë Robins), and Min Farshaw (Kae Alexander) look at a man in a black brimmed hat, that Mat in particular is taking note of. They all have fancy new outfits baring shoulders or chest.

Elayne Trakand (Ceara Coveney) and Aviendha (Ayoola Smart) sit side by side, raising their drink glasses to each other. They look into each other’s eyes.

Screenshot of The Wheel of Time Instagram story with a photo of Ceara Coveney in a fuzzy off white top with a statement necklace like a large sharp tooth. Her red hair is in sleek loose waves over one shoulder.

Drawing of a furry arm holding out a long fork with a slice of meat on it towards a young blond woman who pulls back from it and frowns. The arm is labeled every company on earth. The meat is labeled AI slop. The woman is labeled me.

Head and shoulders shot in the lobby of a movie theater: I’m wearing a mauve blanket coat and since I washed and styled my hair today my shoulder length dark curls look pretty good.

My legs are sticking out so you can see that my loose pants are pulled up to the knees and my socks are pulled down so that they’re off my heels

A metronome labeled me vacillating between “a better world is possible” and “we’re so fucked”
