:(

Now I wish there were more side quests with Arthur and Miss Grimmshaw

arthur morgans a mama's boy n an eldest daughter, i will stand on this hill, even if i am alone in this.

[skiplo-wave]

You are truly right

Arthur easily could but his loyalty with Dutch makes sense. But what was stopping John or fuck it Miss Grimmshaw

I hate Micah but a DLC ( not me wanting more rdr content lol) would be interesting

Cause only reason Dutch likes Micah is cause Micah be kissing his ass. Everyone else especially Hosea and Dutch challenge Dutch to think but more about next plan.

Only ONLY reason everyone didn’t jump Micah is because of Dutch. Dad said this musty rat is family so fuck it he stays..>:/

Another Tundra Grimm who’s the mother of Gridley, Grier, Grimmshaw, and Grishka (future kid who isn’t in these drawings); her name’s Griswalda! Also her beloved husband, Elliot!

Griswalda

She’s a Tundra Grimm. She’s mostly a stay-at-home mom, but she is also a hunter for her family.

She’s 37 years old, she's a woman, and she's asexual. 

She's a very gruff and stubborn bug. She's antisocial, can be cold at times, and is very cautious. 

She's like this because of past experiences with mortal bugs aka the ones responsible for both her scars.

She has a fear of crowds of people, people in general, and harpoons. She's getting better with her fear of people and crowds though. 

Despite this she is very warm and caring towards those she loves aka her husband and her kids. She loves them with all her being.

She loves sweets, her favourite being Pretza's cookies. She also loves Elliot and Torngasak's cooking in general. 

Her hobbies include painting, knitting, reading, watching tv, and listening to the radio.

When her kids are away, she usually volunteers at an orphanage.

Elliot

He's a diving beetle. He's a fisherman and also a sculptor. 

He's 36, he's a man, and he's bisexual.

He's sensitive, affectionate, caring, and extremely patient. He's an all around sweetie.

He fell for Griswalda hard because she saved his life. After the first time he got saved, he went to try and meet her again, and almost died again. Luckily she saved him again.

She became his muse for a LONG while, so he has a lot of sculptures of her.

He loves his wife and kids with all his heart. He does all he can to see them smile.

He can be a bit of a worrywart but that's mostly due to losing his family in one day.

Their Story

Childhood:

Griswalda grew up in a cave with her elderly father for the first 13 years of her life. Her childhood was good until an attack she had around 5 years old which ultimately scarred her for life. She was almost killed, but her dad luckily saved her. Thanks to his diligence and care for her, she survived. She was left with both a scar on her abdomen and her soul. She grew to both fear and hate mortal bugs who did this to her. Once again, her dad set her straight and while her fear and hatred weren’t fully gone, she at least had an idea of what bugs she could trust, like her 3 childhood friends and adoptive uncle Torngasak.

When her dad died when she was 13, she was supposed to go live with her uncle Torngasak, a tough, but caring bee. Unfortunately she was grieving and not thinking straight and ended up hiding throughout the wilds of Bonalinet Tundra. Around 17, she was going to go to her uncle but an encounter with the hunter scared her back into hiding again. She managed to stay hidden from the hunter for many years and she became some sort of urban legend among a couple of towns in Bonalinet.

--

Elliot grew up in a very full house. He lived with his parents, his older brother and his several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Pretty much everyone in his family grew up to be a fisher, but Elliot had his own interests. He loved sculpting very much. His mom worried about him getting by, but his dad wanted to nurture his boy's passion. So they agreed to let him sculpt and join in contests all while still training him to fish.

When he was 18 he moved out with a girlfriend and was more or less able to keep himself afloat. Things went badly with this girlfriend as she was abusing him (physically, emotionally, and psychologically). It was so bad to the point where he could barely go see his loved ones and when he would get to go, she had to be present. With the help of his close friends they got him out of that relationship and back on his feet. They helped him get his own little house in Wanet and he's been living there since.

Pre-Coma

Elliot met Griswalda purely by chance as she saved him from dying in a snowstorm. He fell for her HARD after that encounter and went out in a storm to find her again. He almost died at the hands of one of the bigger snow beasts in the tundra, but luckily she saved him again. When he expressed how he felt to her, it freaked her out and she ran away. He went home disappointed and heartbroken, but didn't want to overstep boundaries.

After some thought, she decided to visit him as he left his mitten in the cave. Griswalda was very uneasy and cold towards him at first. Over time and several visits, she warmed up to him and began trusting him. After visiting for about 2 years, she finally asked to live with him and he of course said yes. They began dating officially after this. 

A couple years later, when she felt safe enough, she decided to have kids. She didn't tell Elliot at first, but when he got the news he was ecstatic. They were very excited to spend their life together and were getting ready to have a baby. Unfortunately, the hunter, who was seeking her out ,finally found her. Not wanting Elliot to get harmed she left, without Elliot ever getting to officially marry her. Elliot was heartbroken to see her go and prayed that she’d return.

In her encounter with the hunter she defeated him, but not without taking fatal damage. She gave her eggs to a fisherman who was passing by and "died". Her not returning, led Elliot to believe she was dead, as were their kids. He fell into a bad depression, to the point where his friends took him in for a year or so to make sure he was ok. It wasn't until 5-6 years when he began finally getting his life back together.

Post-Coma

Almost 10 years after her death, Gridley and Grier sought him out. He almost attacked them thinking they were affiliated with the hunter who killed her. He was overjoyed to see that they were alive and well, that something of hers was still living. Pol immediately invited Elliot to go live with them as it'd be good for the twins to know at least one of their birth parents. He was ultimately hesitant, but agreed as he wanted to give them all the love he had.

Several months after living with the twins and their adoptive parents, Griswalda comes back from the dead with a few of her memories. She remembered Elliot's warmth and love, fighting the hunter, and giving her eggs to Pol. Nothing else. After a bit of tension between her and Elliot, they worked things out. Over time, she regained her memories. She rekindled her relationship with Elliot and began getting to know her kids. She also meets the other grimms and is quite happy to know she wasn’t the only one left.

Later on, Griswalda had another child, this time with Elliot. Their mixed child was named after her father, Grimmshaw. They're all living a relatively happy life. Griswalda finally gets the big family she dreamt of while Elliot got a second chance at life and love with both his kids and wife returning. She's still adjusting to all the lifestyle changes and all the new people in her life, but she's making strides with her fear of mortal bugs and towns. Also in the distant future, she has one more mixed kid with Elliot, who they named Grishka and they adopt a Vessel, who they name Snowflake.

Despite being the smallest, Mmilde is the most ferocious. Gret has potential for ferocity. Grimmshaw is too meek for that.

Griswalda’s kids surprising her with a huge cake! Happy (late) Mother’s Day!

Some more grimms, known as the Tundra Grimms. Gridley and Grier are these twins’ names.

Gridley

He's a Tundra Grimm. 

He's 10 years old and he's a boy.

He’s gentle, curious, a bit too trusting of others, somewhat passive, and a general sweetie.

He’s blind so he used to rely on Grier a lot for things. Recently, he’s been learning to become much more independent and assertive, so he’s been making strides. He still needs help from time to time though.

He’s blind due to a fall his mom had while he was still and egg in the womb.

He loves listening to stories, music, playing with his siblings, cuddling, and sniffing things.

Grier

She's a Tundra Grimm. 

She's 10 years old, she's a girl, and she's a lesbian.

She’s rowdy, stubborn, protective of her brother, and very tomboyish.

As a child she was quite unhappy until her cenn, Pol, figured out what was wrong. Turns out she was trans, so they helped her with transitioning, with her name change and all that. Having gone through a similar experience themself, Pol was eager to do all they could to make their kid happy.

She’s been a lot happier since then, although, her rowdiness and willingness to fight has remained unchanged.

Their Story

They abruptly came into the world after their mother, Griswalda, went into labour after a dire fight. Knowing she’d not be able to make it, she gave Gridley and Grier’s eggs to the first person passing by, aka Pol, a 19 year old fisherman. After giving them the eggs, she promptly “died”. Pol of course freaked out and headed home. At first Pol and their roommate, Johnny, considered their options, but in the end, they kept the kids considering it was a woman’s dying wish.

Gridley and Grier lived a relatively normal life. Going to school, learning to fish as most tundra dwelling bugs do, the works. All was fine until one day, Gridley suddenly got kidnapped. Grier, being as impulsive as she is, of course went after her brother. The two of them ended up in Castham Farmlands in. Lourmere Fields, where Griva and Grizelda saved Gridley along with other kids. Grier arrived a couple of days later and was just about ready to throw hands until she saw her brother safe.

With the help of Grimm and Grimmhilda, the tundra twins were returned home to their parents. Not too long after, they find out one of their birth parents are still around and end up finding a diving beetle named Elliot. He knew their mother and recognized them as his kids right off the bat. Pol and Johnny were quick to get him to move in so he could be a part of the twins' lives. The more they heard about their mom from Elliot, the more they wished for her to be here. 

Eventually, Griswalda, their mom, comes back from the dead with some serious amnesia save for remembering her eggs and her husband. After some work and time, she too became a part of their lives. The twins were very happy to have all 4 of their parents around, that's for sure. When Grimmshaw, their younger sibling comes into the picture, they welcome them with open arms. They have a full house, but a happy house. 

Info about Tundra Grimms

They're the fattest and fluffiest of all the grimms. 

They live in tundras and occasionally high in the mountains. 

They're the most physically strong out of the grimms. 

They have both fat and fur to keep them warm. Their bellies are covered in thick soft fur, as well as the inside of their cloaks. The outside of their cloaks are waterproof.

They eat the most out of the grimms. They rely on both flames and normal food to survive. 

They use both fire magic as well as ice and snow based magic. This includes freezing things or shooting snow/ice. 

Their flames are usually white or a pale blue.

Various doodles of Griswalda and her family.

Page 1 has Griswalda:

hugging Elliot (her diving beetle husband)

listening to the radio

hugging her kids

and listening to Elliot while she eats her favourite cookies

Page 2 is various doodles of Grimmshaw, their 3rd child. They’re a mix of grimm and diving beetle. They won’t have as much fat and fur as their siblings and mom, so they have to wear snow gear. They hate that.

Page 3 is about the placement of Griswalda’s scars. The one on the left is from a childhood experience. The one following is around the time where she “died”. She’s ok now.

Page 4 has Griswalda chilling with her babies. All she ever wanted was a simple life with a huge family. She finally has that.

Something cute and fluffy of a family who love each other so much!
