#GH Duzer

[anicdraws]

Finally, after all this time, I’ve visualized what I think Duzer GravedaleHigh’s older sisters might look like.

On the left is Stheno, the oldest of the three, who basically had to become the one in charge of the family because of reasons. She did not want to have to raise her youngest sister, but here she is, providing for all of them. Her looks could be lethal, in a manner of speaking, being the more harsh out of the two eldest siblings.

On the right is Eurie, short for Euryale, the middle child. She was allowed to be more of a “free spirit” in the “taking charge” department, since she had yet to fully become an adult when things happened (as in, Stheno’s older than her). She’s pretty vocal about her opinions on things, namely support of one thing or the other. And by that, I mean that she can be so loud.

Duzer doesn’t exactly look forward to going home for the holidays... Either one could be out working, or either one could be at home.

(These are just my first passes of the two. Most likely, they’ll be refined at a later date.)

For that character thing; how about Vinnie, Reggie, and Blanache from Gravedale high? They’re my favourites.

More GH characters! Yes! Thank you!

Vinnie

First impression: Eyyyyy

Impression now: He’s great, especially since there’s a little more to him than one would think at first.

Favorite moment: The one where he got over his temporary fear of flying to save Reggie.

Idea for a story: A story set in the future focusing on what he’s doing with his life as an adult monster.

Unpopular opinion: I love him and Reggie, but I really wish what little fanfic there is would focus on more than just those two.

Favorite relationship: Vinnie and Reggie.

Favorite headcanon: He’s a vam-bi-re. (I’m sorry.)

Reggie

First impression: I already love this dork.

Impression now: This dork is my son.

Favorite moment: The one where he tries to step in for Vinnie when the latter was challenged to a game of Fly or Splat.

Idea for a story: A story set in the future where he’s an adult working for NASA. Also where he and Vinnie are absolutely husbands.

Unpopular opinion: See above unpopular opinion.

Favorite relationship: Vinnie and Reggie. I really couldn’t help it after the one episode where Vinnie is temporarily afraid of flying.

Favorite headcanon: He’s a gay werewolf who adores is bi vampire bf.

Blanche

First impression: I really hoped that there was more to her than just “she likes shopping and this one other kid in class”…

Impression now: …and there is! She’s honestly great.

Favorite moment: She has quite a few, but one of them for me is probably in the episode where it’s shown that she’s really good at making gumbo.

Idea for a story: Again, one focusing on what she does with her life after graduating high school (probably involving either her cooking or sewing skills, or maybe both).

Unpopular opinion: See above unpopular opinion. Just… please, fandom. LGBT+ vampires and werewolves are great, but why stop with them when we could have even more LGBT+ monsters from this show.

Favorite relationship: J.P./Blanche/Duzer OT3.

Favorite headcanon: She’s a bi and polyam zombie

How would you revamp Duzer's character? Also what would you revamp about GH in general? 🎃

I’d try to make her more likeable. Like she’s still a jerk cuz that’s her character, but she’s a jerk that actually learns her lessons and becomes less of a jerk overtime. For instance, instead of her actively trying to steal Billy Headstone til the very end, she remembers that she’s doing this for Cleo and comes clean about the deal with him.

As for the rest of the show, I’d do the same for the other characters in regards to giving them more dimension. And I’d make the kids feel more like delinquents outside of them just being mildly annoying and lazy, at least at first before character development sets in.

I never noticed that Duzer’s parents didn’t appear in the show...what do you think they’re like? For that matter, what do you think everyone’s relationships with their folks are like. It must be hard, it seems like Gravedale high is a type of boarding school after all

Oh jeeze, uh… I don’t really know where to start with this. I guess by pointing out that in addition to the Monster AU @animatedc9000 and I made I also have an Animated Monster AU that’s a crossover with Gravedale High, Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School, Monster in my Pocket (the cancelled Hanna-Barbera TV show that only aired one episode), and Mad Monster Party/Mad Mad Mad Monsters?

I point this out because I’ve kinda just blurred my headcanons for the show with what I’ve started doing for this AU and in said AU I’ve kinda… made Medusa from Monster in my Pocket Duzer’s mom? And considering that Medusa was in that show’s Super Monster Jail (not what it was called but that’s basically what it is), I’ve kinda made it so that Duzer barely knows her and has mostly been cared for by her two nearly-grown-up sisters (that Cait came up with) since whoever her dad is has been out of the picture for a while? For a long time she doesn’t talk about her home life much with anyone, not even Cleo, but it’s… not good. Some of what’s been going on with her at home does eventually come to light and some of her class volunteer to have her stay with them instead from time to time up until she’s ready to live on her own.

As for the other kids…

In the show Frankentyke was embarrassed about having a human creator for a dad but by the end he was more than willing to accept him, so I imagine he and his human dad have a good relationship, unlike that of the “dad” he and Gill tried to make, which was fairly shallow. His human dad doesn’t talk about his first son/Frankentyke’s brother Big Frankie much though since he’s realized that Frankie’s a goddamn creep and not in the good way.

Sid’s parents have a… strange relationship. Not that they’re particularly bad to him (they’ve had quite the influence on the way he is) or each other (they’ve hit it off well since they met while auditioning for a high school talent show as impressionists), it’s just that they’ve been considering seeing other people while still being together? They’re not really sure how to bring that up with Sid though, who’s having his own journey in self-discovery on who and what he likes.

Gill comes from a line of reasonably wealthy southern US monsters (well, on his dad’s side anyway; his mother’s from Peru), and his parents are pretty chill, both with Gill and in general.

Vinnie’s a stubborn kid, but the truth is he cares a lot about his mom.

Blanche’s parents doted on her a lot while she was growing up.

Since Cleo’s parents were nowhere to be seen in the episode with the parents either, I’ve kinda assumed that they’re not exactly great parents either… Not the same level of bad as Duzer’s mom, more like neglectful.

Reggie’s mom is more mild-mannered while his dad is more of the strict parent.

J.P. can’t complain much about his dad; he’s rich and lets him do what he wants.

Thank you for asking! Sorry if this isn’t exactly the best answer, the show doesn’t have that much to work with and I’ve spent more time focusing on the kids than the parents, but I hope this was kinda helpful maybe?

Vinnie: Okay, if anyone asks who we are: I’m the leader, Duzer’s my number two, Gill’s our combat strength, Reggie’s our intelligence and Sid is our Canary.

Sid: Canary?

Vinnie: We send you in first, and if you die we know the room is dangerous.

Sid: Gee, thanks.

I’ve been thinking about Gravedale High a lot. More specifically, I’ve been thinking about what small design additions or changes that could be made to the main nine students to show the passage of time. (You know, in a hypothetical following season of the show.)

Duzer gets a lavender vest that fits her aesthetic.
