#watcher Grian

[ohnonotthehorrors]

"I have so many ideas!" The villain declares, the lonesome, the framed. "We need- we need a Game!"

"It's always a game." His companion hums.

"No- No! A real game! Like a show, a game show! With Prizes and challenges and questions!"

It was just awful that he hadn’t gotten a chance to use any of his plans last time. And they were good plans! (Well. Half of them. At Least).

“We need animals.” He decides, unprompted. A panda reserve flashes through his mind, a bee on a leash, dogs and horses and camels and the creepers he keeps up his sleeve. Rolling a green egg over his knuckles like a magic trick. “All sorts! All of them!”

“I’d like to eat things.” Rotting lips pull over bleached white teeth, and she smiles sharp and wicked “I’ve always wondered what flint tastes like.”

“Oh! Oh! And we should have powers! Hot-Guy!”

“And zombies”

“Music! We need music!”

“Something with time…”

(For a moment the jester’s crown is a witches hat. White and pristine.)

“Are you getting all that?”

The loyal and the traitor, the revenge takers, the chaos makers, the goddess of death and god of trickery. (The witch of time. The first of winners and first of deaths). They turn to the Watcher between them.

“Sure, sure. ‘Course.” Grian’s determined scribbling trails off, “But have you considered: Snails.”

He flips his clipboard around to reveal a wobbly rendition of a snail. A cheerful bow tie around it’s neck. Scar claps politely

Can I... talk about the theory that winners help craft the next game?

Because, and I really can not say this enough, it puts So Much into perspective.

Everything starts out Normal. Three lives, simple, cut and dry, there hasn't been a winner yet. No one to help craft the game. (And there's something to be said about how simple it really was. Not even a real expectation of the world becoming pvp or combative. No idea of the war to come)

Then Grian wins. The green killer, the man who vowed his first life to the one whose life he took. The next game the boogie man is born. A mechanic that allows and, in fact, demands, a green kill. People can trade lives back and forth, currency and debt wrapped up in one. (can we still be friends? Said the red partner. A life time later and reds are hostile, alone. Maybe it's an answer: No. Not anymore)

Scott wins this time. He refuses to play the game. He will not kill his team, he will love and he will do so fiercely and with all of himself. The next game people are attached through to their very souls. Every bit of damage to one soul is done to its twin. There is no boogeyman. (There is no way for a widow to be left without their love)

Pearl wins and she wins a blood bath. Spent the game draped in red, only wolves for company. Sitting in her tower, shivering in ice, maybe she wanted it to end. To see where it would. Limited life rewards you for killing, limited life has a clock tick tick ticking down, you always no how long you have. A curse yes, but a blessing too.

Now It's Martyn's turn.

And what a turn it is.

Keep your secrets, says the disloyal man, keep them well. Everything hurts, everything Matters, says the man fracturing with every loss. (What if we could love each other without hurting? Says The Hand, who never wanted to be coated in blood)

More importantly, Martyn has always seen the watchers below the surface. Now, they're right here in front of him. Something that could almost... be rebelled against, no? Something that someone else could finally point to and say: hey, hey isn't that familiar?

A watcher at the window

He’s slowly lost control through the seasons and I think that’s cool :)

(Slay The Watcher route 8 p35)

Mumbo: ...how? It's metal.

The Narrator: That's what I would like to know as well... unfortunately we do not have the time to discover the whys or hows.

Mumbo: Can you take this out of my hand?

The Narrator: Fine, the knife slips out from the flash of your hand and the wound begins to re-stitch itself as it does so.

Mumbo: ... Thanks. Well, time to go look at what's going.

Scar: Are you... sure? What if he's like extra dangerous or something now?

The Narrator: That's...not how The Watcher works.

Mumbo: Well, guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

The Narrator: You step through the door and begin making your way downstairs.

[kaos-lyrikourai]

He watches, intently, carefully, until the end of the line

Mother Spore And Their Beloved Mayor

[God damnit, Grian's outfit was fucking hard to draw. lmao- If it isn't clear from my designs and art style I love drawing big baggy sleeves. lol]

I think I forget to mention in my character sheet for Grian but he has a dripping purple heart over his actual heart. It's a Watcher ranking thing.

[kazoothing]

About dang time I made some art

I've got a lot more to draw so I'm going to be hear a while

[artza3w]

*sighs dramatically with one of those long leaf stick thingys that are in western movies* desert duo aye... havent heard that name in a while (Im lying-)

[garloc-zoup]

Grian and LL!Scar!!! :3

[ryotheraccoon]

Someone said grian was like a black widow and i rlly liked that so uhh new grian design just dropped 🤑

[very-annoyed-crow]

If mumbo has half of grian's soul, does that make him half watcher?

[averagegrianfan]

Ooo you wanna follow the watchers so badddd oooooo

[thedistortionshallways]

If I had a nickel for every time I've been in a fandom with higher being(s) called watchers that are often shown with eye imagery I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[verifyemailmyass]

Sooo, thought.

Hermitcraft x TheUmbrellaAcademy (TUA)

pearlescentMoon pisses off the watchers so they lock her memories and send her to a long dead world with only one survivor in order to force a narrative on her. Grian eventually finds her, Martyn brings back her memories.

Then TUA find out there are other worlds, through hijinks figure out how to get to the hub. MCC Is playing at the hub and pearl is competing.

Plot twist shinyduo are married in this au. Angst ensues

Mumbo: Hey Griannnn! We're back!

The Narrator: The sounds coming from the basement stop suddenly.

Grian: How interesting, you are back. It's been a while.

Scar: ... He didn't sound like this last time, threatening sure but not... this.

The Narrator: It is trying to scare you away, don't fall for it.

Voice of the Chocolate Chip: Hmmm, sounds suspicious.

The Narrator: It's not.

Voice of the Suspicious: It is.

The Narrator: ... I'm not having this discussion with you. And stop changing your title.

Voice of the D:< : No.

Grian: Well, get down. Last time that fight ended in a tie and that was such a disappointing end.
