#the Gromble krumm

[origins-ducktales-story]

ickis enter the monster bathroom....

Ickis: shit shit shit. How i possible grew bat wings

Oblina hears the commotion from the bathroom and exits the room.

Oblina looks at the sound of the commotion, "Ickis? That you in there?" She says, approaching the bathroom door

Ickis hide inside of one of the toilets

Oblina walks up to the toilet Ickis was hiding in, "What the hell are you doing in there?" She asks bewildered

Ickis: why are you asking this?

Oblina crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow, "Well, you're hiding in the freaking toilet and I heard you making all that noise. So, what in the name of Gromble are you doing in there?"

Ickis: not your bussines

Oblina rolls her eyes, "Seriously, why can't you just tell me what's going on in there?"

Ickis: no

Oblina groans and crosses her arms, "Now you're just being difficult"

Ickis: yes

"You're a damn idiot sometimes.." Oblina mutters under her breath, "You do know I'm not just gonna leave without getting answers, right?"

Ickis: i m not going to t-

Oblina sighs and knocks on the toilet door, "Either you come out of that toilet and answer my damn question, or I'm gonna kick your stupid ass"

Ickis: is not your bussines

Oblina groans in frustration, "Of course you have to be difficult. I'm going to count to five, and if you don't come out of that toilet by then, I'm busting that door open"

Ickis flussed the toilet to escape form her warth quietly.

Ickis: i blees the sewer sistem for escape from Oblina s warth.

Ickis fly off

"Hey!" Oblina yells upon noticing Ickis trying to escape.

She quickly exits the room, trying to chase after Ickis

Ickis: ok i should find a place to hide from the cane snake nerd monster

Oblina spots Ickis flying off into the hallway, and quickens her pace and follows him

Oblina: "Hey! Get back here you idiot! You can't just avoid my question like this!"

Ickis: shit

Ickis notices that Oblina is catching up to him, "Oh crap.."

Ickis: Oblina your questions are boring!

Oblina starts running faster, "And your reasons for hiding in the toilet are stupid! Now get your ass back here!"

Ickis:SNAKE MONSTERS CAPABLES TO FIND OUT .

Oblina continues to follow after him, "I'm not gonna stop chasing you until you give me an answer!"

Ickis: NOOO 😫

Oblina runs even faster, "You really should give up, you ain't escaping me!"

Ickis: I love her when she is like this 🤤

Oblina growls in anger as she runs after him, "I'm gonna kick your ass when I catch up to you!"

Ickis: she is damn beautiful

He keeps flying

Oblina continues to chase after him, her eyes glued to him. She runs at full speed, determined to catch up to him

Ickis: Oblina you believe all the time i was a bunny, but wrong

Oblina pants as she runs after him, "Yeah, no kidding! A bunny doesn't have freaking wings!"

Ickis: hehehe .well i m a bat monster and half loomer monster.

Oblina continues to chase after him, "I figured that out already, birdbrain!"

Ickis: she is damn hot!

Oblina runs even faster, her eyes narrowed, "Damn it, Ickis! I'm gonna make you tell me why you were hiding in that toilet!"

Ickis: no

Oblina's eyes widen with anger, "Dammit, Ickis! I'm gonna give you till the count of three, and if you don't give me a straight answer, I'm gonna knock your block off!"

Ickis: crap

Oblina runs even faster, her eyes fixed on him, "One!" she shouts loudly, panting as she chases after him

Ickis: not your bussines

Oblina's voice gets louder, "TWO!" she yells, her footsteps thump on the floor as she chases him

Ickis: she is going to use her coils to catch me

Oblina keeps chasing after him, her eyes fixed on his every movement "THREE!" she says, her voice loud and clear.

Ickis:!!!!

Oblina finally catches up to him, grabbing him in her coils to stop him from moving "Now you're not going anywhere, birdbrain" she says, her breath heavy from sprinting.

Ickis:😑

Oblina huffs, her tail still coiled around him, "Now, are you gonna tell me why you were hiding in that toilet, or do I have to squeeze it out of you?"

Ickis: I GROW BAT WINGS

Oblina's eyes widen, "I can see that, idiot! What I wanna know is why the hell you were hiding in the toilet in the first place!"

Ickis: AVOIDING THE GROMBLE TO FIND OUT OR YOU AN KRUMM TO FIND OUT OUR ALL OUR CLASSMATES AS WELL

Oblina groans, rolling her eyes, "Seriously? You were trying to hide all that just to avoid getting in trouble with Gromble or Krumm or our classmates? That's... the most stupid thing I've ever heard from you"

Ickis: SURE LIKE THEY WILL SAY " TAKE THAT FAKE WINGS FROM YOUR BACK YOU CAN T FLY

Oblina groans, "You could've just said that you grew wings to avoid people being weirded out, but no, you had to make a big friggin deal out of it by running and hiding, and running off so I had to chase you, and... and..." Oblina's voice trails off, her face turning slightly flushed

Ickis: 🤨

Oblina's face goes a little red and she scowls at him, "Stop looking at me like that, dumbass"

Ickis: you're flushing

Oblina's face goes even more red and she glares at him, "Shut up! It's just hot in here, okay?"

Ickis: don t lie, you re having a squish

Oblina's face goes redder and she crosses her arms, "W-what? What the hell are you talking about? I do not have an a squish!" She says defensively.

Ickis:are you sure of that 😏

Oblina's face goes from blushing slightly to turning tomato red, "Y-yeah! I'm sure! I don't have a damn squish!" she stutters as she looks to the side

Ickis: don t lie,

Oblina's face flushes and she looks away, "I'm n-not lying! I don't have a stupid squish" she stutters, her heart beating faster.

Ickis: you are not stoping staring at me 😏

Oblina's face blushes furiously as he points that out, "I-I'm not staring at you! I was just.... just trying to make sure you don't fly off again!"

Ickis: yeah sure 😏

Oblina's face turns even hotter as she hears his tone, "S-shut up! I don't have an squish on you! Not at all!"

Ickis: well i do have one on you

Oblina's face turns completely beet red and she suddenly averts her gaze, "Y-you do? R-really?" she stutters, her heart racing even faster.

Ickis: yes...

Then he hides in his wings

Oblina stands in front of him, her face still flushed and her heart beating rapidly, "You.. Y-you actually have a-" She stumbles over her words, still processing what he told her.

Ickis nod

Oblina's face continues to burn with heat, her heart still beating like a drum, "Is.. is that why you were hiding in the toilet? Because you didn't want me to find out?"

Ickis: Oblina, i m reckless and for you i m stupid.

Oblina takes a small step closer to him, her face still flushed, "You are stupid, I'll give you that" she mutters, her tone soft, "But... why? Why are you so stupid for me?"

Ickis: well the times i cause trouble because i m a low at scaring humans.

Remember the times you laugh with the entire class after in the viewfounder i m called a bunny.

Oblina smiles faintly and nods, "Those were fun times. And I still call you a bunny" she says, still stepping closer to him, "But why would you cause trouble just to make me and others laugh. You could've gotten in so much trouble with Gromble"

Ickis: yes like the time i lost the monster manual

Oblina snickers, remembering that incident, "Yeah, that was hilarious"

ickis:😑

Oblina rolls her eyes and pokes him gently, "Don't give me that face. It was funny to see Gromble getting pissed because you lost his manual again!"

Ickis: sure and me sent to the Snorch was the most exciting thing 😑

Oblina looks at him with mock sympathy, "Oh, poor little bonsty. Getting in trouble with a monster as grumpy as the Snorch. How terrible" she says with a hint of sarcasm in her voice

ickis: I m not a bonsty!!

Oblina smirks, "Could've fooled me" she teases, "You're being so pouty right now, it's cute"

ickis:I' m not cute

Oblina rolls her eyes, "Yes you are. You're cute and dorky and silly and the goofiest monster I know"

ickis: shit

Oblina smiles faintly, "What? Are you shy because I called you cute?" she teases, her tone slightly sing-song

Ickis: we re lucky nobody is here.

Oblina looks around, noticing that they're alone right now, "Yeah, we are" she says, still smirking, "No Krumm, no Gromble, no classmates. Just you and me. Completely alone"

the footsteps were heard it was the Gromble walking towards them.

[lorbanery]

Okay, are you ready? I'm about to make my first fandom post in a long time.

When we talk about alternatives to Harry Potter, lots of folks like to throw out different book series that are generally based around young people attending some kind of supernatural school or camp that has a similar setup but isn't quite the same vibe.

I would like to recommend a TV series that is not just similar to Harry Potter, I would legitimately accuse Jowling Rowling of plagiarizing it ... except that it's not very well-remembered even among Americans of the right age. At least I don't see a lot of people talk about it when we wax poetic about '90s Nicktoons.

I am, of course, talking about Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.

So let me set the scene for you. A young boy arrives to his first year at a supernatural boarding school where students learn all about their particular supernatural arts and associated culture.

Our protagonist, Icarus, is nervous about it because you see his father is famous within the culture and as he starts meeting his fellow classmates he realizes that there's an expectation that he'll be top of the class and all the supernatural arts they'll be learning will come easily to him. Even the faculty has high expectations for him.

But then everyone's surprised and kind of disappointed to find out that actually? He's just a normal student like the rest of them, and worse he doesn't actually know much about the more esoteric parts of the culture.

Luckily he has two really good friends who help him through the ensuing school-based shenanigans: A terrifyingly talented and extremely intelligent girl, Oblina, who has studied the culture and history extensively and knows literally everything.

And a goofy ginger, Krumm, whose dad is also kind of a legend in the culture who's always around to cheer our protagonist up, be best bros, find effective if inelegant solutions to their problems, and occasionally be a little jealous of the attention our protagonist gets.

Though of course even his friends can't protect him from the faculty member, The Gromble, who seems to have it out for our protagonist (but secretly very much cares about all of his students, believes our protagonist will be great just like his father one day, and occasionally risks his life to save them).

Or from the one school bully, Zimbo, who's the mean teacher's pet and is relatively intelligent and has a much less intelligent friend, The Snorch, who does all the physical bullying, usually at the behest of the faculty.

And, of course, there's an outsider antagonist, Simon, who threatens their very way of life and is particularly obsessed with our protagonist.

But the trio manage to fight him off at every turn, sometimes even enlisting the help of the rest of the school.

Over the course of the series, the trio and their neverending cast of classmates learn how to hone each of their unique skills all while making sure not to let normal people know they exist because ... reasons, and not going into the dangerous forbidden areas. At least not without faculty permission.

They even travel by toilet.

There are a few different streaming services that carry Aaahh!!! Real Monsters and I really strongly encourage anyone who wants something not only has a lot of the same vibes of early Harry Potter but a lot of the actual literal plot and world-building elements to check it out.

*pulls out long list* ahem…

Prism’s ever-so-growing list of A!RM headcanons!

(I have sorted the headcanons by character)

Who knows? This list may reveal some lore of my novelized fan-revival!

(Also, some of this stuff is part of the revival’s revised-and-modernized-timeline)

General

“Teenage” monsters range from the ages of 80 to 100 (preteens go from 70 to 80)

Once a monster reaches the age of 100, they are declared an adult

To calculate a monster’s age if they were human, divide their age by 5.5!

Ickis

Ickis is transfem nonbinary, and uses they/them pronouns

Ickis has two fathers, Slickis (Dad), and Horikku (Pop), the former’s ethnicity is Bahamian, while the latter’s is Mexican. This makes Ickis Afro-Latina

Ickis is autistic, and was diagnosed during the 90’s, or when they were in their preteen stages

Ickis can speak some Spanish (thanks to their parents), although it sounds a bit broken

Oblina

Oblina is lesbian

Oblina was born in New Orleans, and only moved to NYC after Hurricane Katrina destroyed her old home

Oblina’s home in NYC originally belonged to her Nana Corrika, who had passed away prior to the beginning of the series

Krumm

Krumm has social anxiety, and only functions well around people he knows and trusts

Krumm likes to keep ideas of his own fantasy world in a sketchbook

Despite claiming he’s asexual, Krumm really wants to find someone to love

The Gromble

The Gromble is a closeted homosexual

The Gromble is secretly autistic, his special interest(s) being shoes and fashion

The Gromble was born near London during the late seventeenth century, and later moved to America due to a teacher shortage in NYC during the civil war

Relating to the above headcanon, The Gromble initially went to college to become a psychologist

Other Academy Students

Dizzle secretly likes 60’s and 70’s human music

Ocka is MTF transgender

Simon

Simon used to live with their parents until they kicked him out of their home after “going crazy over monster hunting”

Do you have any A!RM headcanons?

[plokster]

Last year I binged Ahhh! Real Monsters and made this. Meant to finish it but never got the motivation

[origins-ducktales-story]

Part 4 from my au

Ickis lay inside his bed.

Oblina and Krumm make sure Ickis is comfortable in bed, adjusting the blankets and making sure he has everything he needs

.

Oblina (concerned): get plenty of rest,Ickis. We’ll check on you frequently and bring you anything you need.

Ickis: you Don t need to be caring about me honey,you just had enough of the class lessons also scaring asigments.

Oblina shakes her head,her expression filled with concern.

Oblina: We’re your friends,Ickis. Of course we’re going to worry about you. And your health is more important than than anything than class or scaring humans. So just focus on resting and getting better,okay

Ickis: you are going to date a monster who is reckless.

Oblina raises an eyebrow and looks at Ickis with playful smile.

Oblina: what’s that supposed to mean Ickis

Are you calling yourself reckless

Ickis: I m calling myself a reckless honey

Oblina laughs softly and shakes her head.

Oblina:oh,Ickis. You’re not reckless, you’re just young and adventurous. But sometimes that curiosity can lead you into tricky situations. We just don’t want you getting hurt, that’s all.

Ickis: you worry to much and is not good for you because you will missing studies or worst being snorched

Oblina looks slightly sheepish as she nods.

.

Oblina: you re right, I m worrying to much. But it’s only because I care about you Ickis. We both do. It’s hard not to be concerned when one of our friends gets hurt.

Krumm pipes up,trying to lighten the mood after eating a bug.

Krumm(cheerfully): and don’t worry about us missing study,Ickis. We can catch up easily.

It was night time the three friends are sleeping.

~Flashback~

Ickis was a younger monster before he attended the monster academy and meeting Oblina and Krumm, his maternal uncle Scraw take him to show the red sewers the dangerous place where no monster do not return alive.

As Ickis follows his maternal uncle Scraw into the red sewers,an eerie atmosphere fills the air. The red walls and dim lighting cast a menacing glow. Scraw holds a kind of a lantern, providing some light in the encroaching darkness.

Scraw: do you know why this sewers are red.

Young Ickis shakes his head,staring ahead the red walls with wide eyes.

Ickis(curious): no,uncle Scraw. I don’t know why the sewers are red. Can you tell me.

Ickis s eyes widen wit a mix of fear and intrigue.

Ickis(nervous):so other monsters have gone in here and never come back

That sounds dangerous,Uncle Scraw.

He made a nervous sounds,glancing around the dimly lit environment.

Young Ickis face lights up with curiosity at the mention of his mother involvement.

Ickis(excitement):you mean,my mother discovered the sewers that’s amazing tell me more,uncle Scraw . Why did she find it so scary

He hangs onto every word,his imagination running wild with the possibilities of the mysterious red sewer

Scraw: well my older sister Diamond was dating your father,Slickis the great student from our generation,Diamond was wondering where was her lover and she find him enter the red sewer,something that her feels it’s dangerous she entered inside and saving your father out of that place.

Young Ickis eyes sparkle with fascination as Scraw delves deeper into the story of his parents adventure.

Ickis(eagerly): so, my mother,Diamond,saved my father from this sewers that’s incredible

What happened in here to scare her so much, Uncle Scraw did they encounter a monster or something even worse.

Ickis hangs on every word,enthralled by the tale of his parents bravery and the mysteries of the red sewers

Scraw: they found a dead monster inside those sewers it was,the Gromble s father,yes our master is the Gromble but he didn’t t know that his father died in.

Young Ickis gasped,his eyes wide with both amazement and simpathy.

Ickis(quietly): they found the Gromble s father and he died in here

That’s tragic. How did he die uncle Scraw.

His young mind processes the gravity of the situation, filled with a mix of curiosity and sorrow Mr.Gromble s father.

Scraw: well a monster hunter shoot inside the red sewer and hit Gromble s father and he died from an infection from his wounds.

Young Ickis covers his mouth with his hands,his eyes filled with a mix of shock, sadness, and horror.

Ickis(whispers): oh no,that’s horrible. The Gromble s father was shot by a monster hunter and died from infection. Poor Mr. Gromble,that must have been so hard on him.

Ickis s expression turns solemn as he ponders the weight of the story

Scraw: is getting late and I don’t want your mother wondering where you was.

Ickis nods,understanding that it’s time to return home.

Ickis( determined): you’re right uncle Scraw. Mom will be worried if I stay out to late. But thank you for taking me on this adventure today. It was both scary and exciting. I’ll never forget it.

With a mix of. Gratitude and excitement, Ickis waves farewell to Scraw as he prepares to head back home.

Flashback ends~

Ickis sheed a tiny tear…

Ickis: thank you uncle Scraw for your advise…

Sleeps back again.

Oblina,who had been listening intently to the story,gently wipes away Ickis s tear,her eyes filled with empathy and support.

Oblina(softly): it’s okay, Ickis. Your uncle words were wise. Now get some rest and let your body heal. You ll feel better soon, I promise.

She gently adjusts his blanket,making sure he s comfortable and warm

She brushes a comforting hand through his cheek offering him the reassurance he needs.

To be continued.

Watched 2 Ahhh! Real Monsterss to see who this Oblina character is [in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl]

--The teacher won’t let them scare on Halloween; that really bites.  I guess he’s their dadbysitter as well as their teacher

--Maybe her fellows will be in the sequel; they seem like such good friends [so far?], even sleeping in the same room

--Ickis sounds like Buster Bunny, which reminds me--Tiny Toons was gonna get a reboot soon too

[incorrect90snicktoonquotes]

The Gromble: I daresay that Oblina has discovered the smelliest object in the known universe!

Krumm: Ooh, name it after me!
