#GROGILDAN

[snowspeeders]

thinking about my old oomf from twitter who was a staunch fjolly and grogildan and i still think they were the strongest soldier out of all of us

[daggersandarrows]

no thoughts head empty only vax/grog collaring ceremony

[totally-correct-cr-quotes]

Vax: You know, just the other day someone asked who was the most beautiful person in the whole world. You know what I said?

Keyleth: What did you say?

Vax: I said... [sees Grog gesturing outside the window] Grog?

Keyleth: Grog?

Vax: No! No, that's not what I was going to say!

Keyleth: Vax, you're not making any sense...

Vax: I mean, sure, he's handsome, he's rugged, but- I have to go.

God akskaksm the size difference between Vax and Grog would make for some,,,, interesting moments lmao

I’m not saying this is why I shipped them, but I’m also not NOT saying it.

[gobliiine]

so I wouldn’t say that I actively ship grog and vax

however the prank war and vax’s general sluttiness combined really give me the flavor of the drunk girl at a party hanging on the quarterback’s arm like “let’s compare hand sizes haha”

I wonder how much quiet bisexual suffering Vax goes through in Vox Machina

CR Relationship Week: Day 3

Grog and Vax’ildan + Soulmark AU

It’s difficult trying to get a good look at the handprint on his back. Scanlan’s mansion is equipped with dozens of mirrors at least, so it’s not too hard to find one in a quiet, empty room. A heavy weight comes off with the deathwalker’s ward. Bare to the waist, Vax puts his back to the mirror and tries to look over his shoulder. 

The handprint is still there, the same deep color as Grog’s tattoos. Not the pale, barely there gray of his mother’s words. Still there. Still alive. Seeing the breath come back to the goliath’s chest before was one thing, but this makes it real. 

He slumps down, sitting with his back pressed to the wall. Almost absently, he traces the words on the inside of his bicep. The black letters look no different than they did a day before, he’s not sure why he expects them too. 

The door opens suddenly and surprisingly quietly given the massive form that steps into the room. For a moment, Grog and Vax both just stare at each other. Grog’s brow furrows. “What’re you doin’ on the floor?”

He doesn’t have a good answer for that, so he turns it back on him. “What are you doing just barging in on people?”

“Thought this was the way to the trainin’ room. Must’ve got turned around,” Grog says, scratching his head. “Swear this place’s different everytime Scanlan poofs it up.”

Grog turns to go and Vax is on his feet without thinking. “Wait.”

Stopping, Grog turns back to look at him, decidedly unimpressed. Vax approaches almost cautiously. There’s no new scars on Grog’s form. It sees wrong somehow, there’s no evidence it happened, no proof that he was just gone. 

“Don’t hit me for this, big man,” he says, the only warning he gives before wrapping his arms around Grog’s middle and burying his face in a massive (warm, living, moving) chest.

There’s some vague unhappy noises that rumble in Grog’s chest, but, to Vax’s immense surprise, he’s not forced away. After a moment there’s a sigh and a large hand awkwardly pats his head. “Don’t go gettin’ all mushy on me. ‘m fine now. Could’ve at least gotten dressed first, you’re makin’ this weird.”

“Am not,” Vax says, or tries to. It comes out a little muffled and he can almost hear Grog roll his eyes. Pulling back a little, he fixes a stern expression on his face and jabs a finger into Grog’s chest. “Don’t you do that again, alright?”

“Yeah, yeah, no more talkin’ swords, I get the idea.”

“Not that. The dying bit, you’re not allowed to do that again.” 

Grog opens his mouth, probably to protest and say something about the dragons or whatever, but Vax cuts him off. “I mean it, Grog. Never again, you hear me?”

It looks like Grog’s still about to argue for a moment before his shoulders slump ever so slightly. “Alright. No more dyin’.” 

“Good.”

Vax isn’t sure where to go from there. Grog solves the problem for him and pushes him away by the shoulders (surprisingly gently). But he doesn’t leave. Instead he holds out one hand. “That goes for you too. No dyin’.”

It takes a second for it to click and then a little smile slides onto Vax’s face as he nods. “That’s a deal, big man.”

“Then shake on it.”

“I’d rather kiss on it.”

“Wha--” And that’s all Grog gets out before Vax jumps up and plants one on him before darting around him and down the hallway, grinning madly. He’s pretty sure he’s going to get a pummeling for that later, but for now, things feel almost right again. And he can live with that.

[fyeahgrogildan]

grogildan

Thank you. Mm yes, my one true love~

when or if I started shipping it.

Gosh, I dunno. Probably around the first time I watched the fight with Earthbreaker Groon. Back then it was kind of a jokey thing, like haha what if, but then the feels got real and here I am

my thoughts:

Okay, okay, I know it’s not gonna be canon, like I get that. But it would be great okay? I love their dynamic, and just every new interaction makes me love it more (spoilers: but that talk in the most recent episode made me tear up, it was so great) It’s a fun ship, and I’m in too deep now

What makes me happy about them:

Man just, every interaction is gold. They’re sooooo different, and that’s caused some friction (which was fun in other ways) but I feel like they’ve kinda turned a corner and they’re in a good spot now. They’re solid bros if nothing else, although I love that there’s just little jokes about something more~*~ in there (I will take what I can get, give me every lil tease of Grog’ildan pls) I also just love both of them on their own so much. Vax’s a disaster, and I have a thing for trash children with father issues, so he’s pretty much my type just to begin with. And Grog is my favorite forever. I’m so proud of him okay. He’s come so far and grown so much and I’m just gonna go cry about my giant son for a while k bye

What makes me sad about them:

There’s like happy sads for the emotional moments, but I mean other than the fact that it’s literally never gonna happen, I’m pretty much okay. It makes me sad that it’s an underrated ship, but I could say that about pretty much all my cr rarepairs tbh

Things done in fanfic that annoys me:

There’s like six fanfics for them, I don’t get to be annoyed by anything

Things I look for in fanfic:

... I look for them. That’s it. Please. Where are they. 

My kinks:

More fics. Pls. 

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

Vaxilmore was my first Vax ship and I’m never letting go (I know it’s not canon, I’m dead inside) so Gilmore is first choice for Vax, but I also ship him with Pike, Percy, Kash, and Keyleth, so that’s not too bad

It’s new and also probably not gonna be serious, but I’m kinda into Grog and Kerrek. Honestly, I just want my boys to be happy with whoever they end up with

My happily ever after for them:

Canon - One smooch. That’s all I need. Just one.

Non-Canon - Ending up together and ALIVE and all their friends alive just living in their keep and getting a chance to rest for once pls

[sphinxofgrease]
