( SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR PLOTTING IDEAS ! )

— memory ( not his last canon memory ) :

❛ — - sweet sounds of childish innocence spilled from your lips, arms out stretched as your ran around your parents, finger - tips brushing the soft greenery that surrounded the trio. though, it hadn’t lasted long as you heard your father call your name, grabbing your arm, scolding you for being such a distraction. with an apology, you plopped down on the ground, your beige shorts now being rolled between your fingers. nibbling at the inside of your cheek, you parted your chapped lips, almost as if to say something. the simple fear of getting scolded once again held the question in your throat, deflating once again. maybe it was better to just keep your mouth shut, wait until you all went home.

❛ — - the hours passed and passed as the sweat ran down your forehead, silently suffering in the cot provided to you by your parents. god, your parents. don’t wake them, you thought, don’t bother them. light flicked on as a blood - curdling sob ripped from your throat, the pain gathering your chest. . . in your arms. for a moment, you felt like you’d been cared for as your father held you and asked about what you were feeling ; it was just more research wasn’t it ? you were officially part of your dad’s testing . . . a part of his project.

❛ — - with a sharp pain to your abdomen , the chilling sweats stopped , but the pain had just begun as your felt your bones begin to ache . your blood temperature rising beneath sun - kissed skin . blinking awake , you watched as your fingers looked a sickly green color , watching the color run up your arm as if your arm was made out of paper and a child had run through it with a marker . it took the child only a second to sit up, dull nails itching and scratching at the skin on his arms as if the green hue he could simply rip off with enough effort . no , no , no !

( there should be a gif here but i hated all of the ones i made. imagine a scared, sad green boy ! )

❛ — - sharp canine teeth brushed against your soft bottom lip , not understanding any second of what had been happening to you . you didn’t want this , you wanted to go back and run around in the grass . you’d rather be scolded by your parents instead of this . whatever this was . you wanted to be normal. . . not whatever you are now . this monster. . . this BEAST.

— alternate san francisco bay area , titans tower :

— - garfield logan works for the titans group , a group of heroes that help protect california , operating out of san francisco . and as the resident comic relief in the group , seriousness is not something he ever liked . while he grew up with two parents who focused on their science , it never really rubbed of on garfield . at least , not the way they wanted it to . obviously fate had a very different plan for the logan family.

— - around the age of eight , garfield had contracted a very serious illness , sakutia , which is likely to cause death in two hours to everyone and everything but the african green monkey . while it would’ve killed him, his father decided to inject him with and antivenom to make sure he lived. though, as a result, the illness rewrote his genetic code, therefor giving him green skin, green eyes and green hair. along with pointed, elf - like ears and a pair of sharp canine teeth. along with the physical changes, he was able to morph into any animal in the animal kingdom. though, he favors changing into household pets ( dogs, cats, lizards, snakes and the occasional guinea pig / hamster ) .

— - the torment of his father and mother’s abuse ( mostly verbal , scolding him for giving himself a virus he never intended to have , calling him an embarrassment , etc. ) led him to becoming a reclusive person until joining the doom patrol , though , shortly after he’d heard about his parents boating accident which contributed to their death . soon enough , he left the doom patrol and joined the teen titans , changing his reclusive personality to being the comedic value that the titans needed . using jokes and comedy to cope with the death of his parents and the abuse dealt to him at a young age. now a valued member of the titans , garfield logan , ( aka BEAST BOY ) now felt like he had a place to call home . you can read more about him HERE & HERE , since i’m mixing both canons into one .

— alucard, pennsylvania , present day :

— - if you haven’t heard of garfield logan , then you’ve definitely HEARD garfield logan . with a voice that could burst eardrums if you got too close . as the only child and son of a biology professor and an animal biologist , he was was always seen a somewhat of a disappointment through the eyes of his parents. both of them taking turns and asking if he’d decided to go to college yet , if he knew what he wanted to do with his life . and the answer was always no . much to the dismay of his parents . and while it break his heart to have parents that didn’t support you choice to skip school altogether , it was simple to hide behind the veil of slacker friends who enjoyed your jokes . it was easier to fake a smile than it was to give everyone a real frown .

— - garfield lives comfortably on his own , barely making rent for his very run down , one bedroom , open living , studio apartment . working as a dog walker doesn’t as much money as he hoped . but he knows walking the dogs of the more wealthy people in PA would get him the money and tips he needed . not to mention , he’s a sucker for animals .

— - to make a long story short , garfield it quite literally that dumb , skater kid you see telling dumb jokes with his hat on backwards . he’s got a heart of gold and can be a little dumb sometimes . but it’s always with good intent . a total sweetheart , but will rip you to shreds if you mess with someone he loves. is a giant mess and totally not ashamed of it at all . will do everything in his power to make you smile ! just a goofy boy with the best intentions and is here to provide you with some sunshine.

— plot ideas ! :

001. you know what gar needs ? more friends. specifically, a PLATONIC SOULMATE. by that, i mean, someone who has so many things in common, they’re practically the same person. would be sick if they were one of his skater friends, but definitely not necessary. don’t get annoyed with him and love and support the decisions he makes... even if they’re dumb.

002. gar absolutely loves being able to annoy people to no end. he adores being able to make people smile and loves making people angry a little more. so, someone who could get annoyed with his very happy, silly and goofy demeanor would be amazing ! he will constantly tell you childish jokes about poop and tell you to spell ICUP... but, i promise he loves you. and maybe you keep him around because you secretly love it and he makes you smile !

003. please, i need someone to simply despise gar. get mad at him, make him cry, ask him how’s he’s so happy being a failure and not doing something good like his parents. if your muse is kind of an asshole, this is perfect. i just know not everyone is going to like him and i thrive on enemy plots !
