Warning: Admin is back on their headcanon bullshit

So, I bash Gruff a lot for being a terrible guardian to Gallus.

And…. Yeah, he absolutely is.

But I actually want to be nice to the decaying old buzzard for a change and paint him in a somewhat more sympathetic light.

Because… I do genuinely believe he cares about Gallus.

Now, unfortunately, just caring is not enough to be a good guardian. It is a skill, and you need to be competent at it. And Gruff just… isn’t. He is, in no way, shape, or form, emotionally, mentally, or even physically capable of keeping up with the demands of providing for a child. Much less a hormone addled teenager. To say nothing of Griffonstone’s lack of infrastructure giving absolutely no benefit to that particular issue.

But… seriously think about that. When Twilight opened her school’s doors to all the other races of the world, she didn’t pick and choose the first set of those non-pony students who would serve as a proof of concept to the idea. These kids, essentially unofficial representatives of their homelands, were chosen by the leaders of those races at Twilight’s open invitation.

And Gruff chose Gallus. A homeless orphan.

Now, Gruff is a character who’s been portrayed before as being wistful for Griffonstone’s golden age. He knows Griffonstone is on a downward spiral, and he hates it.

So, here’s his chance to send a representative, however unofficial, to cull favor for the griffon’s from Equestria’s public, a great chance at getting a foothold to barter for economic aid.

And he sends a kid who is, on a purely practical level, completely politically worthless to Gruff.

Because I think, on some level, Gruff knows he’s a terrible guardian and he knows Gallus deserves better than him. The greatest kindness Gruff could do for him is send him somewhere where others are far more willing to be kind.

Because he genuinely wanted the best for Gallus, and he was smart enough to know that ‘the best for Gallus’… wasn’t him.

Since it's the season...how would the Spider-villains react to a hanging mistletoe? 🎄

Also, I absolutely love your Mysterio he's everything dramatic wrapped up in a fancy cape ❤️

Lol sorry for the length of this:

---

Sandlady keeps trying to put some mistletoe on Rhino's horn during the season whenever she's wearing the suit. She is intent on getting it up there so she has all the reason to ask that question. Alex is very much aware of this, though, and having fun making her try and get the mistletoe on her horn. Hehehe. Two can play that game.

Rhino 100% tables the turn and before Sandlady even has a chance, she's already holding the mistletoe and leaning down with a smile. Instant OHKO for Sandlady.

Electra.. Poor Max can't play the kissing game, not anymore even if she wanted to. She does like the aesthetic of the little berries tho and can appreciate the concept. She's just never been one to do it. She does, however, quite enjoy playfully helping or tricking others who are playing the game with someone else. She's nothing if not a little mischievous~

Otto actively tries to deny the game, stating that they're hung up purely for decoration only. All the while he gets bashful and rushes through the doorways, highly aware of their placements. It's really cute. It's ok, Doc, I feel the same way about them. (Gonna get him to stand under one long enough and see what happens... for science. Yeah.)

Beck. BECK. He would try to claim they're too juvenile, but you know he'd try and get a kiss under the mistletoe somehow anyway. Spends the night trying to be sly and subtle, unknowingly playing a game of chase, but if you ask me, I think he's enjoying it. (..I'm the gingerbread sloth, Beck, you can't catch me sndngnrmsbf 🙈)

Ah, Mason. He would see one hanging up in his house tear it down and beat Beck with it before promptly apologizing profusely to his granddaughter who was the one who actually put it up there. He'd buy Beck a drink to make it up after. He's a bit too old to really be partaking in that tradition.. too busy, too. But he may kiss his granddaughter on the head tho, humor it a bit for her. Her happiness is a priority when he isn't busy with work, especially on holidays like this.

Montana puts mistletoe on his hat every year and hangs some in his bar. You catch him under the mistletoe and he'll show you why he's called "Shocker" (I'M SORRY SJSJFJJSF I COULDN'T RESIST)

For Chameleon? It may not even exist. You mention it to him and he'll go on a weird eccentric spiel about it and without a doubt spoil the mood.. but most who know of him (and even himself) would question why you or anyone would want to do that with him of all people?

Kingpin would be delighted! ..If only you could get it high enough to have him under it. Alas, he is just.. too tall. you’ll either have to ask him to lift you up or climb him like Mt.Everest and claim your kiss at the peak.

--

Special bonus for the Vulture fans specifically, come get ur food and ur old man úwù 💕:

Adrian would entirely ignore it, he feels he's getting too old for it, who would want to to play that silly little tradition game with and old buzzard like him?

Buuutt.. if coaxed and encouraged enough.. he may.. humor the one asking for it. Give them a little peck, with a hand on their cheek or chin. He'd wait till the others left, first, before giving in to the asker's little desire.

The Christian soldier in America

Worked to save the venom in his bloodstream

Because it was put there by God

Predestined by the Almighty

And he was a God-fearing man

Worried about being struck down

So he laid in pain on the ground

Howling obscenities

Waiting to die

Praying through gritted teeth

That the angels would carry him to the kingdom

And not drop him on the way

As he struggled and writhed like a stuck pig

The way he always did

When good folks tried to drag him up from the Hell of his own making

All while he'd come out swinging

Clawing and screaming

He'd yell, "A self-made man can never do any sinning!

So let me down,

I can walk by myself

All the way to the Kingdom of Heaven!

I could waltz right up between the Father and the Son,

Be considered the Second."

So arrogant was the pious one

He who would bash the shepherd's brains in to feed the wolves

Considered the most wonderful amongst mongrels

But now sat as the feast

Poison and all

He was the king of all carrion

A crown of ribs

Jewels poking through skin

His last words lingering in stale air

Blasphemous idolatry

When merciful God, manifesting all of his forgiveness, sent a cloud overhead

A gathering of black wings

Descending on the broken man

Snakebite and all

Covering him like a funeral shroud

Devouring him reverently

If you listened in silence, you could even hear them hoarsely squawking The Lord's Prayer

Until there was nothing left

Except silence and thankfulness

Blessed are the buzzards

As holy are the healers

Back from a Sweden birding bash for my friend Magnus's 50th birthday. We jammed in on the best Honey Buzzard day for Falsterbo this millennium. Nice to see the full spectrum of variation: dark and pale morphs, males and females, adults and juveniles. Such good birds.
