What Cosmere Characters Would Do if They Found a Big Spider in Their House
I don't know if any Cosmere worlds have spiders to get into people's houses, but if they did, here is how the following Cosmere characters would deal with it.
1. Adolin: Immediately goes & gets Shallan
This is not because he's scared, but because he knows that Shallan will want to see the cool giant spider.
Shallan: Wow!! It made such a cool, giant web! Adolin: I thought you'd appreciate that.
2. Tress: Alters her own routine to make sure the spider is comfortable
Moving or killing the spider does not occur to her.
Tress: Oh! We don't use that shower. Tress: That's where Albert the Spider lives.
3. Evi: Considers the spider to be a good omen
Dalinar: Wait...I think I understand, this time. Dalinar: It is a good omen because the spider is a fierce predator with domination over the insect kingdom...right? Evi: No, silly, because she makes a beautiful and intricate web, the little artist! Dalinar: ... Dalinar: ...a web of death, though? Evi: [Pats his arm indulgently]
4. Zane: Overidentifies with the spider
Zane: I too craft my web... Zane: Bring my prey close... Zane: And then CONSUME them! Spider: [Is a spider] Zane: [sighs] Zane: I wish Vin had heard that cool speech.
5. Kaladin: Accidentally squishes the spider while trying to move it outside
Kaladin: ... Syl: ... Kaladin: ... Syl: ... Syl: T-The cup is supposed to have the open side down, Kaladin. Kaladin: I-I didn't MEAN to!
6. Allrianne & Breeze: Keep trying to make the other person deal with it
Allrianne: YOU'RE the man! You have to deal with bugs! Breeze: My love, you have the courage to face down the Lord Ruler himself--I'm sure you can handle a spider. Allrianne: Real men don't make their poor wives deal with the big hairy spider! Breeze: This man is really comfortable where he is, though. [The spider lived in that corner for 3 months]
7. Elend: Moves the spider outside
Elend: My father always squashes bugs when he sees them. Elend: So therefore, I scoop them up into a cup a put them gently outside. Vin: ...The spider is getting buried in ash. Elend: ... Elend: Sometimes actions are symbolic.
8. Susebron: Is intensely fascinated
Susebron (writing): I've never seen one of these animals before. Susebron (writing): I've only read about them in books. Susebron (writing): When will it start communicating by weaving words into its web, or does it only do that for pigs? Siri: ... Siri: I have some disappointing truths to convey.
9. Raboniel: Studies the spider
Raboniel: At first, I had little respect for this creature. Raboniel: But I have been watching her build her home and catch her prey and I have realized that she is keenly intelligent and strategic. Raboniel: Now I ensure that nothing will disturb her work. Raboniel: In return, the spider now keeps my workshop insect free. Raboniel: The respect has--dare I say--grown mutual. Navani: I am deeply uncomfortable. Raboniel: But why?
10. Sebarial: Leaves the spider be
He claims it's because he's just too lazy to move the spider, but actually, he kinda likes it.
Sebarial: ...I wish I could sit there all day until my food literally flies into my web. Palona: ... Palona: Nah, too easy.
