#i hate this creature so bad

[twisted-wonderland-but-gayer]

Oh! I dont usually see Grim dislike/hate. Can I ask why you don't like him? I think there's def room for improvement for him, but I cant find it in me to truely hate him since he reminds me of a character I really like. (Puppycat from Bee and Puppycat)

He's just such wasted potential.

Look I'm into flawed characters, but I don't like stagnant asshole characters that are in the majority of a media. Grim has barely improved since the start of the game.

He's rude, obnoxious, continues to actively cause you problems and throws you under the bus quite often (I mean look at the most recent Crewels SSR card– he tries to blame you for his mistakes and yet still gets you in trouble).

In every event he's the same. Be annoying, make a few dumb/rude remarks abt the culture, "I'm hungrryyy". I think in one event I've counted him talking abt food abt 35 times? Like I don't mind the trope of "monster creature loves food" but that's all he is and doesn't have half the endearing traits. He never shuts up about himself. He's so boring/generic. How is Morgana better than him

He still seldom shows affection for you. Like you barely get to semi bond when talking about his past. This was the only main scene we had to get attached to him before book 6. Seriously throughout every book he's just been overly cocky, rude, annoying, and suddenly you care only about him and not the fact that several people were kidnapped and the school was trashed and that the world is ending.

I thought he would have a huge change of heart after book 6 and his moment of him crying— which honestly didn't move me cause he didn't do anything for us to get attached to in canon. You really have to make up your own headcanons and theories to really make him "good". He's also your buddy but it seems he aknowedges as much as the rest of the cast

He didn't even have a change of heart as he immediately went back to being him. Sure there was that scene in book 7 where he says he's gonna protect you and calls out for you but it's like... cool you had several years to develop and we have maybe 4 scenes of you being an actual character and not some plot device/instigator.

The other thing too is how he is in school. He wants so badly to be a good mage and be the best in NRC but doesn't actively do anything to achieve that. He continues to never study and slack off (which fucks Yuu over cause they're 1/2 a student).

By all means, I'm not saying he can't be annoyed at what being a mage entails or a hypocrite (flaws are important). But he's been one for years and hasn't changed a bit. He still has shown very little improvement for someone who claims to sorta care about his "henchhuman" he certainly continues to impact their grades and school life. (Plus consider yuu not being from this world and all the extra effort they have to put in for a -C, its implied in the book). I wouldn't be surprised if he hurt Yuus pockets a lot too with his selfish appetite.

The main issue I have with him overall is the lack of consequences for him. He almost set everyone on fire? OK. He apparently scratched yuu very bad and that's that. No scene where you confront him about it or the rocks that he eats that you continuously warn him about. You can argue book 6 was the punishment but it didn't seem like it. He'll cause so many issues and get a slap on the wrist for it.

I think the best thing to do right now is to have Yuu snap at him so he improves. Fuck up their friendship. Make him realize he has been bad and actually have him change. A dramatic friend breakup. It would be the only way for Grim to change quickly rn with how long it's been

Have Yuu become a full student and watch him fall apart as Yuu doesn't need to rely on him and they're able to get their As in peace as Grim gets his Fs. Let them get angry. Seriously I'm so mentally ill over the concept of Yuu in general esp in game Yuu and all the ways to make them foils to characters or have them be angst fuel.

I want to like Grim. I love found family. But he just doesn't deserve that currently. He just sucks.

Do do understand why people like him. But I'm not one of them with the state he's in. I'm sorry I don't feel bad at all.

As someone who hates purely toxic, no good, manipulative jerks with zero redemptive qualities I need Thanos in a way that is concerning to all my previous views and values

Not me checking my tumblr today and realizing people like my fic. Givin' ALL of you a lil forehead smooch.

...you know, as someone with previously almost zero social media footprint, I'd always figured that I'd feel indifferent to engagement if I ever did post.

Turns out, I'm not actually that special!

Every like and reblog is a little treat for my dumb lizard brain. Every comment in a reblog or tags got my kickin' my feet, grinning like an idiot. A little morsel of dopamine to my fucked brain.

As sincerely as my ass is capable, thank you to those that leave comments; it warms my heart. If I could thank you individually without feeling like a total weirdo, I would. It makes me way more motivated to make me stuff if y'all like it. Just be patient with me. I'm slow, but I will continue!

My greatest writing aspiration is to give even one person the feeling that I've got from fics in the past.

A rare, little thrill. Butterflies. That niche fic that feels like it was written with you in mind. A fic that makes your day better, makes your heart race. The fic that you go back to for escapism. Daydream about being in.

Even if it's not exactly everyone's taste, I hope it's good enough that it remains enjoyable to even those who don't fully relate with the reader or vibe with everything.

Can you share some of your favorite bat facts? I wanna add more to my lil arsenal of cool random facts. :]

Of course! Apologies for the late response, I saw this at like 1am four days ago, forgot everything I knew about bats, and then fell asleep and only remembered I even got this ask today. Anyways! Some bat facts :)

Common Vampire bats are some of my absolute favourites, mostly because of their ability to run on the ground! They can gallop with their forelimbs and take off from the ground by leaping into the air and catapulting themselves with their wings, which is speculated to be how Pterodactyls took off as well! Most bats cannot take off from the ground, and must be elevated to take flight, so this is pretty cool. Makes sense too, since they mostly feed from the ankles of large mammals and so need ground maneuverability!

Here's a video of a vamp taking off, and here's a video of one walking around! I think their skittery movements and lil' faces are just the CUTEST, but I know I'm probably in the minority there. Also there's a large dish of blood in the second video, so fair warning there!

All three true Vampire bats have evolved special grooves in their mouths in order to act as a gutter of sorts to funnel the blood into their mouths, but the exact arrangement differs between them. The Hairy-Legged Vampire bat has a groove along the roof of the mouth, whereas the White-Winged and Common Vampire bats have lingual grooves under the tounge! Speaking of White-Winged Vampire bats, they're the only bats in the world with 22 teeth, for some reason (likely no reason since the molars are vestigial), AND they have scent glands in their mouths that might be used to deter predators. Pretty cool stuff!

Finally, all three species of true Vampire Bats are cute as hell. Look at these lil' guys!!

cutely draws my enigmatic well-meaning cringefail daughter (to make up for taking years to get to her reveal in spider's thread and turning against her/hating her when I finally did get to it bc i got so self-conscious over having ocs prominent in the fic that i resented her presence in the very story i made her for) instead of working on the fic. or sleeping

Self indulgent rambling here but I THINK that Lucanis and Cora are the perfect blend of highsociety/homey for each other and it happened completely by accident.

The second you demonize the character, the second you remove the nuance that it needs to be handled with. The second you say the character is a monster, the second you remove the accountability that the subtext held, you destroy the point of the character. No one is 100% good, or 100% evil. Terrible people have done good things. Good people have done something bad in their past. If you say that the character is 100% evil, then you remove the plot point of human nature. Humans cannot be 100% good or evil. Humans change, adapt, they’re irrational. Removing a characters humanity removes their accountability. It removes their ability to show something real. Their ability to spread a message.

i don’t mind if people hate characters like aiden and romeo honestly … tis their business and they, especially romeo, have done some deplorable things!!! but. the uptake of ‘they’re unfeeling monsters’ ‘they’re sociopaths’ ‘they’re inhuman’ sentiments about two characters that are very obviously mentally ill does indeed rub me the worng way lol. i do not think you have to like or forgive characters to show them an ounce of compassion and to avoid oddly ableist sentiments … and also i just find those opinions to be such a gross misread of aiden’s and romeo’s characters. i’d argue that they felt too much and that’s what landed them in hot waters ; their too sensitive feelings and their inability to control themselves and learn healthy coping mechanisms.

maybe i wouldn’t have such a problem with this if it weren’t for some of the horrible sentiments i see about petra’s whole deal in s2 as well. so many people loathe her for … having a fear of abandonment and acting irrationally? struggling to find herself and keep jesse at the same time, so she thus resorts to lying and living a double life to try and have it all and nothing? this is never to excuse the things petra says or how much she hurts people, although to see her obvious struggles with love, self worth, and losing people be met with apathy and simple ‘get over it’s is a bit baffling. it is almost like everyone in mcsm must be lukas, who notoriously represses his emotions and doesn’t share them … which, honestly, isn’t healthy either. but lukas’s rough emotional state is more palatable than petra’s. it is easier because it’s non intrusive. it’s accepted, frankly.

anyway! this is a jumble of thoughts. but oh well. i just … the way some people treat aiden, romeo, and petra is really tragic to see lol. the fact that ships with aiden and romeo are considered ‘toxic’ immediately no matter if it’s post canon and post redemption … it’s as if they are incapable of love and healthy relationships and making better choices, and thus, having better lives. for a game as oddly compassionate as mcsm i am very 😔 about it all. and, as someone with a cluster b disorder and various mental illnesses that don’t show in good and accepted ways, it kinda paints a picture that isn’t exactly friendly.
