So.. Like. Song for an insane!Grian or evil-watcher!grian au..?
Just-
‘Insane’ by Black Gryph0n and Baasik. (It’s a Hazbin Hotel song)
Like, the start is pretty much Scar introducing the evil boi.
‘Dearly beloved for your entertainment, it’s my pleasure to hell’s Hermitcraft’s latest arrival ’
The start could be Grian’s intro to Hermitcraft S6, although he is instead tricking the Hermits into thinking he’s innocent and lost. (Totally not a Watcher or heavily unstable individual)
‘Hello it’s nice to meet you! Can you tell me where I am?’
‘I don’t know how I got here. But I think I’m starting to understand’
‘I don’t belong among the angels. And baby that’s fine with me’ - Watchers?? He broke away or is trying to convince the hermits that he’s good? Or he’s accepting that he has twisted morals in terms of just simply being insane?
He could be explaining things to Scar, especially if they’re in league. With Scar being the one introducing him, and the one he gets linked to in Double life.
‘The thing I did up there were highschool’ YHS/TS - Casually being a murderer whilst a teenager. He almost definitely would have gone insane after that kind of childhood.
Saying that people just got in his way. (Maybe Evo and the Watchers?)
‘I promise honey I can feel your pain’ - Double life Desert Duo. Do I need to say more?
‘Haven’t been the same since I expired’ - End of TS (endless void) or EVO (casual kidnapping) or even just the end of Third Life when he was the last one standing.
All of these could have easily driven C!Grian to insanity/hunger for power.
‘And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire’ - He controls and enjoys the life games in this AU. He uses his Watcher powers to be entertained by the suffering of the other players.
Him talking about recognising someone as a previous old pal - could be so many different people. Sam? Taurtis? Mumbo? Scar? The EVO gang? All of them??
‘Tell me do you demons players bleed?’ - AU Grian is obsessed over the Life games and all his other death inspired or causing games. (TAG, Demise, etc)
a lot of people use yhs as just a source of angst for grian, and yeah it's AWESOME for that, theres so much more you can do with it. the comedy of 'oh yeah i killed a mob boss and stuffed him in a dumpster'. the shock factors. TAURTIS i love him and he deserves to be more than a Love Interest. theres so much more depth to yhs besides just being the same ol' angst fuel for poowr widdle griam.
also a lot of times grian is depicted too much of a pussy. canon grian is ANGRY he PUNCHES he as teeth for a REASON. the first day on yhs he beat up sam. actually im pretty sure he did that in his first episode of tokyo soul too. grian likes threating people with guns. hes not a soft boi HE HAS TEETH
okay rant over im not actually angry lmao. anyways! nice blog you got here, i will be taking my leave.
I love DND SO SO MUCH because I started a new campaign today and as it was an impulsive ‘I wanna DM’ from my youngest bro we just used characters we like as our PCs.
So the party consists of:
Strix… (I can’t remember the rest) who has one string arm (inspired by Ginny Di) for the funnies as our rouge, Luz Noceda as our wizard/druid, King Clawthorne as our barbarian, Grian as our artificer (and since we dunno how they work and don’t have the book he’s just a wizard but instead of spells every long rest he gets one of each ‘explosive’ item, it’s TOTALYYYY balanced dw XDD), Virgil Sanders as our warlock and ‘Skeleman With Magic Powers Purple’ as our other druid.
And in this session we’ve (some highlights):
Fought a bunch of monsters (one having a attack that happens each round of you can hear it so Mary Poppins started shout-singing supercalifragalisticexpalidocius [I’m in charge of music {and notetaking} so of course I put it on loop extra loud XDD] so it didn’t effect us).
Kings (player not DM this time- he’s the ‘forever DM’ of our group [just me and my 2 bros]) made King a custom race for Sting (King and Skele are DMPCs as Sting wanted to have some PCs to help him with getting out of his comfort zone) which comes with the spell thunder wave AKA thunder-WEHH.
Convinced a giant squid in a language it doesn’t understand to not fight cuz fighting bad and now it’s our ally and Luz is controlling water to keep it alive until we find it an ocean.
And visited a tavern where:
Mary Poppins bought 10 penguins to start a band with.
Strix got a gf and bought a house for them plus bought lots of alcohol cuz there’s always gotta be an alcoholic PC.
And lastly Luz and Grian started a small bakery called ‘Grian’s Grains y Spain’ (Luz is involved bc I couldn’t afford it with only Grian’s GP so they split the cost and ownership) where they’ve employed one Amity Blight (who will start off disliking her bosses and of course end up in a relationship with Luz).
Due to being a YHS/TS veteran and forcing myself to rewatch Tokyo Soul, I have to unfortunately remind everyone that Taurtis is vocally into Monster fucking. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.
