Young/Adult

Who would win in a fistfight: a guy in a wheelchair or a child? Is it ever morally justified to lie? Is aluminum foil worth more than gold? All these questions and more will be answered in our nicest Mistborn episode yet.

Young comes out in favour of monarchism, Adult desperately tries to avoid getting into politics while reviewing a chapter that's entirely about politics, and we both accuse ska of being criminals just for trying to make a living.

[Content notes: brief discussion of rape and forced pregnancy.] A character runs out of paper to write on (is this the key to everything?), Vin doesn't understand hypotheticals, and we wonder why dry academic discussion might seem low-stakes.

Young yawns at the dialogue, Adult defends eating rotten meat, and we conflate being a Mistborn to being a dog. Note: the Mistborn subreddit is currently protesting Reddit's policy changes, so this episode won't be posted there for a few days.
