On the other hand I find wanting a story to be 100% gritty kinda too edgy, sorry. These characters (the good ones anyway) are modeled after human behaviour. No human is 100% serious or sad all the time. Otherwise it's probably a depression.

And writing a always dark and depressing story just tires out readers. Also, you need moments of high to put the low moments into context. If you write a story where nobody is in danger or everyone dies you just stop caring.

I agree with the Y'shtola thing to 100%, though.
I mean, Jesus fucking Christ. I like her but can we please stop with the fake death scenes so we can put them into a teaser trailer?

Lastly, everyone who dislikes G'raha is just a big emotionless meanie. ; ;
