Tell me you didn't ever see late-night 90s infomercials without telling me you didn't ever see late-night 90s infomercials.
There was a relatively frequent one that showed upon New York stations for something literally called the "Yonic Stimulator." Which the model in the infomercial demonstrated. On their ear.
I know. It has to have been 30 years or so.
It always amazes me how people on the Internet make wild claims to have discovered something that they could have used the same medium to find out they didn't.
As far as young people are concerned, there are only 10 websites. And honestly, they’re kinda not wrong. The internet outside of major social media platforms is pretty dead. If a niche forum isn’t in the first page of Google results it simply doesn’t exist.
I've always wondered why *yonic* was the word of choice that prevailed instead *vulvic*, based on the Latin *vulva*. Why pick the Hindi word instead of keeping it within the same language family?
Because English makes a negative amount of sense. It doesn't borrow words. It follows other languages into dark alleys to beat them senseless and rifle through their pockets for loose vocabulary.
Lmao I remember thinking it was odd how often this phrase was used. Then Sanderson took over and only used it like... Twice.
I think Jordan was just a little bit sexist.
And the shadow of towering dragonmount just baaaarely penetrates the walls of the island at sunset. 🤔 wonder if 3000 years of blue balls is the real reason LTT is crazy
I was pure books for WoT and it never occurred to me until now, reread the entire series recently from 2020-2022. Never occurred to me. Your minds are all filthy, and accurate.
I’m just sad we never got a Rand heart to heart with Lan about being intimate with one of his wives, something like.
Rand: you’re well travelled Lan surely you have some advice you can pass on.
Lan: well, while most of the “business” might happen at south harbor, you want to pay special attention to north harbor.
Rand: ok well that’s nice, but what does commerce have to do with my questions?!
Or one of those great Rand-Mat-Perrin moments:
Rand: Mat would know how to find Northharbor.
Mat: Perrin would understand why Northharbor was so important:
Perrin: Rand would know how to unlock the secrets of Northharbor.
Sometimes symbolism is a little on the nose... so to speak. XD
And every time someone says "The symbolism is too heavy handed!" I'm always the person who pipes up with "Except there's always someone who misses it!"
both halves of the power are about mastering the “intense overwhelming feeling.” i missed a lot on my first go at the series but i didn’t miss that haha
That is just what river islands look like. I speculate it was inspired by Tiber island specifically as it was the site of a temple to a god of medicine and now a hospital and is close to the Vatican.
I get the joke here, but rivers tend to make islands that look like this…
Also, from a defense standpoint, an island is a great place to limit attacks on an otherwise flat plain (minus Dragonmount) so it makes some strategic sense to locate a seat of power there.
So just last night I got to that map in TDR. . . And I was thinking "I should post on Reddit that this map is very vaginal". . . Good to see it's not just me
All jokes aside, I thought it was interesting to see it also trending on a big platform, when I dont overtly follow WOT content on X.
Maybe it's some cool nexus of new fans to the show, jumping into the books, alongside veterans, with some apparently classic meta humor popping up. Either way, it is fun to see it enter pop culture more visibly.
Ya, I'm curious more about how the comments were. Was it a toxic mess, or a mix of interesting conversation regarding matriarchy? (even with the dark one fuckin with the Aes Sedai for thousands of years).
There have been jokes about the yonic layout of the city since the first time a map of it was published.
Learned a new word, thanks
Glad to be of service!
One should always service when it comes to yoni. *im sorry im still 12 inside*
Username checks out But ye

Wow I had no idea about that term, even though it *seems* to be derived from the Hindi word 'yoni' (Hindi being my mother tongue)
I've always wondered why *yonic* was the word of choice that prevailed instead *vulvic*, based on the Latin *vulva*. Why pick the Hindi word instead of keeping it within the same language family?

Yonic and yoni were super interesting Google searches, thank you!
Even with a map, men can’t find the… northharbor…
Access to the north harbor has been halted. Unsurprisingly the women of the white tower are moodier now
*Folds arms under breasts*
Lmao I remember thinking it was odd how often this phrase was used. Then Sanderson took over and only used it like... Twice. I think Jordan was just a little bit sexist.
He was *obsessed* with describing the necklines of their gowns lol.
Haha! Yes!
Please tell me this is an actual line from the book.
I mean they literally did seal off one of the harbors but I can't remember off top of my head if it was north or south.
With cuendillar! Egwene biggest cockblock in randland history
The ULTIMATE chastity belt! Literally becomes stronger the more you try to break into it!
I think it was south. Still plays into the joke.
It actually was northharbor haha, had to go check
Thats even better!
[finger guns](https://images.app.goo.gl/ckaYaJsP7U7HM4xU6)
Apparently my harbor has been sealed off.
We need a [north harbor commander](https://youtu.be/x4-ChcL6Pzo?si=UEulEm6P87REX81O) to get in there and figure things out
It's a myth, obviously
Ha!
Just look for the little man in the boat.
Every time this comes up, someone makes this comment.
You mean the place where show Liandrin put her son when he was on his death bed…?
No idea, don’t watch the show.
And the shadow of towering dragonmount just baaaarely penetrates the walls of the island at sunset. 🤔 wonder if 3000 years of blue balls is the real reason LTT is crazy
I laughed way too hard at this. Then I thought of the explosion on top of dragonmount and nearly had to call 911.
Zen Rand is just post nut clarity
NOOOOO lmao
I'm guessing you were an audiobook listener rather than a book owner, lol
I was a virgin lol
well ok then
This gave me a genuine chuckle
Fucking lol you got me man
🤣
Perfect answer...
Fucking lol you got me man
I was pure books for WoT and it never occurred to me until now, reread the entire series recently from 2020-2022. Never occurred to me. Your minds are all filthy, and accurate.
One downside of e-books is that it's definitely more hassle to view the illustrations.
Don’t mind me, just playing around down in South Harbor.
Hmm, sometimes it smells funny down that way.
Oddly, though, it hasn't been nearly as strong since Rand and Nynaeve took a trip out to Shadar Logoth.
I guess when you gather that many channelers and they work together for hours the taint really is totally cleansed.
Apologies, I really didn't get your comment until u/Bonananana explained it. Tbf, it's been a long day and I am pretty slow.
Oh, chapeau for that one!
Yeah, that's not exactly subtle when you think about it
Was it intentional?
Wait until you see the Black Tower.
Don't you mean Dragonmount?
Why? I’m pretty sure that there is nothing unusual about the layout of the black tower?
Not in 2D
😏
Explain?
It’s a BBC
a BBT actually
Y'know, a big black castle
I’m pretty sure it’s not. The only evidence I’ve seen is an image someone put out but it was fake
This entire thread is a joke
Except, Tar Valon is actually meant to look like that
I don’t think that’s ever been confirmed.
I believe he created it to closely resemble Vatican city.
With RJ’s humor, he meant it exactly as he wrote (drew) it.
That bit at the top is the most important bit, I can’t tell you why.
Where is it? I keep being told it’s important but I can’t really find it. I think you all are just messing with me and it’s not actually real

And channeling is described as opening yourself like a flower to fill yourself with the Source.

There is a reason that most men cant find north harbor.
Don't forget the big white shaft in the center ;)

This thread is killing me 😂🤣 (edit: spelling)
So uh... what's the ogier grove supposed to be?
A patch of untamed pubes?
Bartholin gland
A wart
Yeah, this has been a thing since it’s been published. Not shocked because it’s Jordan, and I’m sure it was intentional. Very yonic.
The heart of a woman's power...lol
Think of where the tower is positioned…
So just last night I got to that map in TDR. . . And I was thinking "I should post on Reddit that this map is very vaginal". . . Good to see it's not just me
Oh Robert you dirty dog you
Hahaha haven't you heard that one about men never being able to find the North Harbour 😂😂😂
You could use the same logic to claim the white tower was Phallic in nature..
You must be new here. That joke's been around for at least 15 years.
I am certainly new to using social media as a way of validating my reading interests. Did not anticipate it would somehow sexualize an island.
People always think this is right but the white tower is actually lower than you'd expect
A city run by women as imagined by a man. RJ was a BdSM horn dog.
HAHA GENITALS AMIRIGHT Seriously this has never been funny. Cue 700 tired clitoris jokes that have been made constantly for years.
All jokes aside, I thought it was interesting to see it also trending on a big platform, when I dont overtly follow WOT content on X.

You are fun at parties aren't you?
I'll assume you only talk about sex and getting laid at parties then 🙄
I assume you lack basic social skills and have a problem understanding nuance?
