#groundsy the groundskeeper

[addmagnus]

me, awakening in a cold sweat at 2 AM:

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO GROUNDSY

[anistarrose]

I’ve decided Groundsy is the mortal traitor who helped Gray break into Higglemas’s office. No evidence, I just think it would be fucking hilarious if every character with a G name was evil

[fitzroycontent]

Hey what if groundsy is Fitzroy’s mysterious benefactor

[asteriskemily]

Please tell what’s in groundsy’s hut

[hyperfixiationstation]

Every plotline/random detail/ character arc not yet resolved in TAZ Graduation:

1. What is in Groundsy the Groundskeeper’s hut?

2. Rainer's Crush on Fitzroy. 

3. Destroying Capitalism.

4. The EverWarm Cookie

5. Fitzroy’s magic

6. The letter about the Commodore that was brought up at the end of the tribunal.

7. The Firbolg being told to go and visit his clan when his father was dying.

Things I would personally like more closure on (but its not like super necessary or anything):

1. Argo’s revenge quest

2. The themes of change and how they relate to the story

3. Jackle

4. Argo’s personal insecurities

5. Actually just everyone PC’s character arc.

6. How the multiverse connects to everything.

7. The Unbroken Chain in general (seeing as they were pretty interested in Fitzroy’s magic and the Godscar Chasm in general.)

8. The conversation between Argo and Fitzroy (it sort of already happened in episode 21 but I would like a little more closure.)

9. I would also just like to see more of the warforged in general, since we only got to see like one scene with it.

Please add on to this post if you think of any that I missed!

do you have groundsy theories? or althea?

Hmmm... We’ve only see Groundsy, what? twice? so there’s not much to go off on what might be in his hut... but there’s definitely something. As for Althea...  I don’t trust her because I don’t trust the Heroic Oversight Guild. Festo said that they weren’t sure whether she would put her job or the students first, afterall. I think HOG is more of a “low profile, let’s not cause a panic here” sort of organization. Their job is to make sure the public isn’t aware of any flaws in the system. However, I will say that I trust Althea as an individual? If she ends up getting frustrated with HOG’s lack of attention to the situation and quits or something, I would be willing to call her an ally! I think Althea is torn between her job, which requires her to stay quiet, and her wanting to help the Thundermen. I really want her to choose the second option, but if she ends up going with the first then she’s going on my list of NPCs I refuse to trust. Not as bad as Jackal rn, but we’ll have to see.

this is the only thing i can think of when i hear Groundsy the Groundskeeper

[i.d. brother francis from good omens]

[marshedmallow19]

i know we’re well into Many Things but

i’m still curious about groundy’s fucking hut

[classicsnail]

Groundsy the Groundskeeper doesn't have any big secret hiding in his hut, he just has a collection of porcelain cat figurines that he is VERY protective of.

[duck-newton]

groundsy is the final boss

[papyskellington]

Groundsy, but he's PS1 Hagrid. Thank you for your consideration.

[anistarrose]

-Groundsy had already stopped making cart trips from school to town on the night the Thundermen returned from the Apple Fiasco, meaning Groundsy was likely on campus (yet had no alibi) when Higglemas’s office got broken into. (In fact, the light of his hut was on when the Thundermen snuck onto campus with the apple, so we know he was up late that night.) 

-Of all the school staff/faculty, Groundsy has been the most proactive about keeping people away from the Unknown Forest, where they could presumably discover the demon infestation if they were to poke around.

-Gray has tried to misdirect the Thundermen in the past, specifically by instructing the chain devil to take the blame for the strange occurrences at school.

What if there’s nothing secret or private hidden in Groundsy’s hut? What if Gray hired Groundsy to act as sketchy as humanly possible, diverting suspicion towards a random meaningless red herring and away from the demon prince who’s hiding in plain sight as he prepares for war?

[self-righteous-god]

Groundsy the Groundskeeper is Travis McElroy in a shitty disguise

[anarcho-bard]

Omg its hagrid

[itsmxbee]

Garfield the Deals Warlock and Groundsy the Groundskeeper both fill me with a sense of unnameable terror.
