Tbh we give a lot of shit for the mischaracterization of Garroth in mystreet and while I definitely think there is merit to that idea because of how VASTLY different he is from his diaries self, but I actually enjoy it. Mainly because, I like the idea that given the chance, Garroth is a light hearted silly guy, who doesn’t have to have his walls up 24/7. The idea that Garroth, not threatened by war or marriage, military and lordship, is just a happy go lucky idiot— allowed to be who he wants to be. If things were different, and life was kinder to Diaries Garroth, he’d be the same guy he is in Mystreet.
Mystreet Garroth is totally different because he has a totally different life from Diaries Garroth. While I don’t think anyone was really disputing that or anything, I rarely see anyone saying this, but it’s something that routinely rots my brain.
