After being friends with Grian for so long, and then getting used by him (in a sense), does everyone get a form of whiplash when the void patrol find Grian? Like hermitcraft and Scott and Martyn and so on reunite with Grian and realise that this entire time they've known him he's been suffering and suicidal?

Theres definitely a lot of varied reactions to Grian's situation. I dont feel like i can accurately generalize any one type of reaction though, since everyone has such different and complex feelings-- but i do think its safe to say everyone at least pauses at learning Grian's been starving this entire time.

I think its also safe to say theres a bit of universal weight there in that pausing. Thats a real scary thing to just discover, yknow?? Even the people who are still furious at him are gonna at least feel a fraction of that weight, although what they do with those feelings is definitely going to differ from person to person

#shouting speaks #asks #grian #watcher grian #hermitcraft #traffic series #hunger au #some people are going to be more sympathetic than others #hence my word choice of ''weight'' and not ''horror''#i try to choose my words carefully bc like. i want to kinda honor that?? if that makes sense???#smth really big for me in hunger au is respecting each characters' feelings in the narrative #and not punishing or demonizing them #we're getting the story from grian's pov yeah but as a narrator i am doing my best to be objective in my portrayals #idk smth smth im seeing all sides of the story and while im conveying it thru grian's pov #which means an inherent level of subjectivity #i can still indicate in certain ways that each person's individual feelings deserve respect #idk i think a lot #txt
