Consider:

Grian as War

Martyn as Famine

Pearl as Pestilence

Scott as Death

Grian is a creature of war, he brings it along with chaos where ever he goes. The triple kill, the quad kill, his unadulterated joy at the death he brings. His insistence on unleashing a wither. Grian relishes in the death he causes.

Martyn hungers. He hungers for survival, for a win, for more time. He’s almost desperate in his desire for them. There’s no line he won’t eventually cross to feed those desires as well.

Pearl lived in a tower with only a wolf for a friend being unhinged and freezing herself to hurt the person who rejected her, Wet cat mental illness Queen.

Scott isn’t vicious. He minds his business and goes about his life, with flowers and cottages and morality. But when the end comes he’ll be there, bow in hand, a reminder of the inevitable, because Death isn’t vicious either it simply is.

I’m simply too autistic to know what’s so embarrassing about “and for my boon” like. How was he supposed to know he was gonna get thrown in jail over requesting a boon for winning a duel. He shouldn’t have

I think we’ve kind of done that moment a disservice by reducing it to “cringe”. It’s a moment when Kal thinks he can actually find justice within the system, and then is rudely reminded that he’s a darkeyed man accusing a high-ranking lighteyes and different rules do in fact apply to him. And it is painful to read for me at least because I’m just thinking “oh no, oh honey no, how did you think that was going to go for you?” It’s incredibly fucked up that he gets thrown in jail for it, but it’s also not surprising.

And because I’m me, I was also thinking; shit Kaladin, well you should’ve let Moash kill Elhokar. Which, ok this kind of a tangent, but I need to vent a frustration with the WoR here… Kaladin is finally able to get some justice from within the system because Dalinar (eventually) believes him and gets Amaram to apologize. But that only works because Dalinar outranks Amaram, right. So what’s Moash supposed to do?? No one outranks the king, not even Dalinar. Kaladin being thrown in jail in fact proves that. So what avenue to justice does Moash even have other than overthrow and probably murder??

And you can make the rubric for this question whatever you want. My personal one was that young me would be horrified to know she became current me, but that’s because I imagine it’d be quite horrible to a child learning and growing to no longer get to wonder who you’ll be when you grow up, and I think if she and I just like met somehow, she’d think I was a cool adult. Like one of those teachers you get to banter with a little.
