no.

Vegan?
Yet you enslave bees, have them live and die at your whim, steal from them the product of their labour.

i provide them a weathertight box to live in,

Ye, I expect it is common for slavers to think themselves benevolent.

That's a fine comment coming from the descendent of criminals

theyre not slaves just yet. i provide them a weathertight box to live in, but theyre free to go at any time and often do. i feed them, medicate them, make sure their parasites are killed off, and try to keep em happy. ive not tsken any honey, wax or pollen from them and probably wont until i get thirty ir forty hives. then ill start exploiting them.

bees are mostly commensal with me. that doesnt fly with the idiot vegans, but theyre too uninformed to argue with in general.

Sister Mary Teresa. Called "Mother" by many. I might wish such a mother on my worst enemy, but probably not.

Amazon's Wheel of Time [audible kazoo sounds] is way too perverted for another turning of the wheel within that same universe. All the love for Brandon, but he's wrong if he says that that is how it is.

Ah, the good old gleeman! Married an Aes Sedai eventually, if memory serves, but I shan't spoil. An excellent character with several good arks in the books. I'm not surprised Amazon cut him out though. Talentless hacks, the whole bloody lot.

Sanderson suggests this a different turn of the wheel than that in the books.

The wolves, Hopper is a cuddly looking little fellow.

They've cut out Tom Bombadil Merrilin.

I think all of the Aes Sedai are impressive, some of the warders.
Lanfear is cool
The Seanchan look cool
The Aiel seem formidable
It still grates that Mat and Perin came from good solid families but toot the Kazoo, let's give them issues.

The Wheel of Time gets worse and worse

Nah. None of that Amazon stuff is canon. The Wheel of Time is as it always was. That shit be Anti-fan Fiction.

In fact, I propose that it should be referred to as "Amazon's Wheel of Time" with a kazoo playing Ride of the Valkyries out of tune in the background. (Yes, every time one says it)

EDIT: For reference, though this is way too much a work of art for what Amazon's doing;

...Go to 1:15 and there you have it. The sound that must accompany the saying, thinking, writing or otherwise putting in public of "Amazon's Wheel of Time." [audible kazoo sounds]

I have no illusions about my regular food being bug (or, for that matter, an occasio0nal pubic hair) free.

Bugs as a primary source of protein... Yeah. If they had a pleasant taste and an interesting texture, I'd eat them. Those and being generally non-toxic are pretty much the sum of my primary criteria for classifying something as food.

Wow... Thought this one was also easy. Ok, more clues;

I was from South-Eastern Europe, though I was canonized  as a saint of an Asian city.
