Good evening
Im here to show you all how normal I can be about comics I read (not normal)
Today, I will talk about Im the Grim Reaper, comic made by @/Graveweaver! (here in tumblr)
And this essay will contain reasons why you should vote for Scarlet, Chase and Brook in the @friends-to-lovers-tournament. So even if you dont read all this text because its way too long, please DO IT. FOR ME.
Disclaimer: The following paper will be based in my headcanon of the three of them being a little polycule. Therefore, although it will describe actual content from the comics, they will be as unreliable as I can be <3
Disclairmer 2: This will contain SPOILERS, and even though I will be mentioning which chapters the spoilers are from when I show screencaps, I recommend stopping to read the comic if you think it sounds interesting, for you to not get spoiled too much.
NOW LETS START
So to put you all in context (tbh you can skip this all because I wrote a bit too much), the story goes about what Satan calls Grim Reapers, which are human souls he chose to work for him, sending sinners to hell by killing them. Reapers, however, are not regular humans, as their bodies are 'meat puppets' Satan made to put their souls into, along with demons that give them their reaper powers.
Our protagonist, Scarlet, reacted to being told she was sent to hell as anyone would: 'WHAT DID I DO', accompanied by multiple other questions like why she couldnt remember her past. Because of this, her past becomes a goal to achieve, wanting to discover what she could have done and why.
In the process, she encounters a detective (?) who, recognizing her appearance because of Scarlet's corpse, started suspecting she might be related to the mistery of her death. Which was true, although he didnt expect in which way tbh. -> they teamed up, decided to fuck around and find out
Then later on, investigating some of Scarlets memories, they ended up encountering the city's mafia. Which, funnily enough, had a reaper with them. Why? Because the reaper was way too entertained posting stuff in their blog he didnt want to go find sinners (canon).
Now, were reapers ever against each other? Not really? They have the same boss. So Chase, as the tumblr sexyman he is (<- questionable), convinced Brook of joining them and kill sinners who actually had done bad crimes.
Are you still there? I know I might be boring yall by just telling you the context, but I swear its important to understand (?)
But my point with this post is show you how over time, they start showing how much they care of each other on their own ways, Chase x Scarlet having the advantage because of them becoming closer before Brook joins. Having a confession (?) and everything. But even then they didnt dump Brook at all 🤩
[Spoilers of episodes 47 and 55-57]
Up to this point, not only do the three of them live under the same roof (because Brook and Scarlet were homeless), but bond over their shared circumstance of being partners in crime (literally).
And because there are lots of fights in the comic (?) we can also see the extent at which they would go for each other. Including, but not limited to, sacrificing themselves (because comic readers are destined to suffer) 🥳.
But how much did they sacrifice themselves may you be asking? Well, if Im remembering correctly... Scarlet might have died about 3 times? I might be confusing some with the times she just got brutally hurt or severely traumatized, but lets say its around that number: just to save Chase and Brook <3 (different occasions). She even LET GO of her PAST to save them, which she wanted to know so bad before, to know herself better. She's honestly both impressive and scary by how much she could do for those she cares lol. In Brook's case, he almost gets doomed for eternity to save Scarlet, and im pretty sure he didnt escape fully from that (but hey, Scarlet is fine <3). And Chase... 👁👁 situations happened. Lets be honest tho, Chase was an emo child, like, what he did had to be dramatic as fuck 💔, otherwise it wouldnt have felt like a Chase thing. He was a theater kid, im sure. He is a Batman kinnie. That should tell you enough.
BUT EVEN AFTER ALL THEY'VE GONE THROUGH. EVEN AFTER EACH OF THEM SCREWING UP AT LEAST ONCE. EACH TIME, THEY DO FORGIVE EACH OTHER.
And hear me out, because im not crazy. THIS PEOPLE. They, who live thanks to drama and edgyness. Are you telling me it wouldnt be fucking easy for them to just explode out of anger and break up, and like, get to be enemies or something.
NOT. EVEN. ONCE. HAVE THEY ABANDONED EACH OTHER.
JUST
LOOK
[Spoilers of episode 70, 80 and 110]

Anyways :3
Even if they dont win is ok, but if you got to this point read the webtoon its really good 👍
Thank you for coming to my ted talk
(vote for Scarlet, Chase and Brook....)

I restarted reading I’m the Grim Reaper again after like 3 years and you’re telling me that CHASE IS FUCKING DEAD????? I DID NOT BINGE READ 110 EPISODES ON ONE DAY JUST FOR HIM TO FUCKING DIE!!!! The thumbnails were fucking clickbait and here I was thinking Zero is actually Chase but nope he’s dead! CHASE WHAT THE FUCK YOU DONT CONFESS YOUR LOVE TO SOMEONE AND THEN FUCKING DIE!!! WHAT THE HELL MAN???
Dr. Ivanov ✨M.D.✨ Brook never change. Him going to judah’s lair and literally being tortured and maimed and told that no one was coming for him? If judah has no haters then I’m dead. Like the poor boy was shaking and sobbing and worst of all Brook believed him!!! Scarlet telling him that she wasn’t gonna leave him was so heartwarming and then she does leave him and that hurt.
Scarlet, poor thing went though so much like after getting out of the ninth circle she’s already traumatized and then judah screws with her even more, SHES TREMBLING WHEN JUDAH TELLS HER FO TAKE OFF HER SHIRT!! And then she finally remembers her mom and she has the pictures and the fucker BURNS THE HOUSE TO THE GROUND?????
All in all I am not okay my brain is scrambled and I have yet to process everything.

I’m the grim reaper
Scarlet: If I die, my funeral is going to be the biggest party ever and you're all invited
Chase : If?
Brook: Great, the only party I've ever been invited to and they might not even die.
Scarlet: If Chase and I were drowning, who would you save?
Brook: You two can't swim?
Chase : It's a hypothetical question, Brook! who would you save?
Brook: my time and effort.
Scarlet: Who thinks I can fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?
Chase : You're a hazard to society
Brook: And a coward. DO TWENTY.
Scarlet: What if mayonnaise came in cans?
Brook: Well, that would such because you can't microwave metal.
Chase : Good morning to everyone except these two people.

I was sketching ITGR characters today!
I wanted to redraw some panels, but then I realized I was too lazy to look for exact comic pages to use as reference 😕 So the only panel redraw is with Brook
____
Me: Chase is my favorite character. Protect at all costs 🥺
Meanwhile, Chase in my drawing: *looks like he's dying inside*
(Well, tell me he wasn't for the half of webtoon...💀)
