WELL. i mean. there’s something to be said with how antsy grian gets as the series goes on. how he gets more and more driven by kills. how he ups the ante constantly even at the risk of him or his allies’ safety. i just think that bloodlust is a problem for ALL of the participants but imagine that slowly growing hunger, the way his lethargy fades intoxicatingly at the feeling of his sword crunching through someone else’s spine? like fuck yeah. it’s the best

today martyn said that (in his canon) the watchers have been purposefully trying to keep grian from being boogey and he also said that grian, as a watcher, also feeds on the fear of the players. therefore it can be concluded that by depriving grian of the boogey curse the watchers are trying to starve him and keep down his power levels in this essay i will,

#it also explains his tendency towards DramaTM #if you keep rerolling the boogey nobody can ever feel safe around anyone else #plus it’s also super interesting that the watchers can’t be starved off without also starving grian #it means they can’t get rid of him because he feeds them when he feeds himself #but he can’t get them out because he’s too hungry and because to do so would mean death for himself #it’s a VERY VERY fun connection to me and if you base it on grian being a watcher by accident or involuntarily #like he seems to be in martyn’s lore #it’s so much fun. maybe he wanted to break free of the watchers and join the game for the power #maybe he thought he could break them out if they feared him enough #or maybe he just wanted out impulsively and ended up withering away #so many directions you could go with it #this is probably incoherent bUT IF YOU MAKE SOMETHING WITH IT PLEASE TAG ME #I LOVE THE CONCEPT I WANNA SEE #grian #watching waiting #limited life
