I really need to stop browsing WoT subs, I've been feeling liquified bits of my brain leaking out through my nose and ears for the past few days, it's like staring directly into highly-radioactive material and just feeling your body start falling apart on the molecular level.

    I remember at least two of the thousand plus page books had Randal Thor’s entire arc as “he’s depressed and has PTSD cause all this shit that’s happening is actually really traumatizing and bad.”

    I mean, Rand goes through some shit. Chronic and sever mental illness for a few books. Then he's betrayed, several of his friends are killed, and he's viciously tortured for months on end.

    "Why is Rand such a pussy?" is such a nakedly reactionary take, you really are telling on yourself by making it.

      That's what I said. The point was that his entire story there, in all of the like three chapters he got out of 2000+ pages of book were dealing with the trauma and his internal emotions.
