sorry, not a ship ask, but

but i need grollow fic recs, PLEAsE- (ps, i've read your fics and its *CHEFFS KISS* 👌👌👌💖💖✨✨)

AAAAAA thank you SO MUCH I appreciate that!!

Shade and Shell by @xensilverquill For What Has Been Done by wormhourdeluxe (E rating but this is jsdbkjgsg AMAZING)

any of @demonicintegrity's works that feature them, found here

THIS IS WHERE I'D PUT NIGHTFALL, IF IT WAS WRITTEN, @voidichor

I'm interested in this one but it's short so far: Carved by Flame by Glittering_Galaxy_Cat.

And the first Grollow fic I ever read was lived like you told me how, look at me now by ctdogma and he's a homie and I genuinely think he's god tier so

I am sure there are other ones but these are all good to get you started! It's been a while since I've seen much Grollow content. We're starving. Borlaaq's got a TON of Grollow stuff if you don't mind E rating as well.

If I think of any others I'll definitely share. I've basically just gone "HELP, SHIP DEAD, I WILL MAKE THE CONTENT I NEED TO SEE" adsgsdg

#asks: answered #reappearanceofsomeone #thank you #sincerely #i am always glad to know people appreciate my grollow content #also i love love love your artwork!!! #big fan #:> <3 welcome to content drought hell

[reveks]

For the salty ask game, 4, 22 and 9, please :3

Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?*

I have a few, with the major ones being Pale Nightmare, Grollow, and basically any Radiance ship (this is due to my own personal hc of Radi being aro). I don't mind if others, especially mutuals (cause I know a few of them are fond of Grollow) like them, but I just don't want them shoved in my face

Most disliked character(s)? Why?

Pale King is an obvious answer for an obvious reason, so besides that. If I'm being honest, I'm not too fond of Hollow? I don't know why; I never write them outside of when I'm required to. Hornet, too, is sorta eh. I think @ashyronfire summed it up perfectly: "I don't like Hornet and I have yet to see a fanfic that can make her interesting to me, beyond just "God you're so emotionally repressed." I just find her boring because her character archetype feels familiar", like. Yeah, a lot of her fan stuff is just that and it's really repetitive. Here's hoping Silksong will change that

Popular character you hate?

I don't hate him but the next closest answer besides the ones listed above is actually. Quirrel. Again, don't hate him, but I don't see the appeal that everyone else does. To me, he's just a guy. Even when shipped (and I only ship him with one bug), it's like ehhhh. He never interested me, and even three(?) years later, he still doesn't

what's a ship you like that most people don't / what's a ship you hate that most people like / what's your favorite headcanon of grollow / what songs remind you of grollow / what kind of dates do you think grollow would go on

Gonna put most of these under a readmore in case it gets too long! <3 - What’s a ship you like that most people don’t - Honestly... Hm... for HK I’d say Grollow fits cause it’s honestly one of the few ships I’ve seen where people said they don’t ship it at all. I guess another one would be Bretta/Myla or Bretta/Cloth. Not cause I’m aware people don’t like those ships, but cause they’re so rare that I feel like most people don’t think about them at all. I don’t think I’ve actually seen content at all for either of those now that I think about it 🤔 In general though, a big one would be the Bihanzo (Bi-Han/Hanzo) ship from Mortal Kombat. Like I get why people don’t like it - they both canonically despise each other and also Bi-Han is kinda undead and extremely evil right now but that’s cause Hanzo legit murdered him plus Subscorp is way more popular, but like... Idk normally I don’t at all like ships where two people canonically hate each other but this ship is my exception to that.

- What’s a ship you hate that most people like - GOD. Okay honestly, Hollow Knight related it’s PK/Grimm. I legit only like that ship if it’s specifically PK/NKG, if he’s being shipped with Troupe Master Grimm then I’m not into it at all. I headcanon NKG to be a separate “parent” like entity from Grimm, which is the only way I can ever ship a PK/Grimm ship. I don’t know if it’s cause I’m way too attached to Grollow and thus shipping Grimm with Hollow’s father throws me off or what, but I don’t vibe with PK/Grimm at all. PK/NKG however is Choice and you love to see it. Another one is Grimm/Brumm, but I don’t feel as much animosity towards it as I do PK/Grimm, so I’m not sure if that really counts. I don’t feel too much negative emotions to it in general, it’s just a “I am Looking Away” ship to me. Also gonna throw in Herrah/Grimm and Hollow/Quirrel even though not a lot of people actively ship those from what I’ve seen but I honestly legit hate these ships. Like I mostly just strongly dislike Hollow/Quirrel, but I literally actually hate Herrah/Grimm a lot. I don’t hate people who ship it of course, I just hate the ship itself. It has so much negative appeal to me it’s wild. Going back to my Mortal Kombat example, I genuinely hate Subscorp as well even though it’s literally the most popular ship in the series. Like I know Kuai Liang and Hanzo both had an “enemies to friends” arc, and I love that, but I honestly just... can not get into a ship where someone gets romantically involved with the man that killed his brother. I know NRS’ shitty writing says that Kuai hates his undead evil brother now, but we all know that that isn’t true. There is no logical way that he would ever get into a romantic relationship with the man he hated for literal decades because he murdered the only family Kuai has ever had. Not only do I feel like that would that go against his character, but it would also be a massive disservice to Bi-Han himself. Like imagine dying (twice) and coming back to see that not only has your younger brother taken your title, but he’s also dating the person who wrongfully killed you. That’s so fucking shitty, it doesn’t even matter if Kuai and Hanzo had become friends and Kuai had forgiven him. I feel like most people ship them just cause they’ve been rivals since the very beginning and don’t see just how “eh” the ship actually is. Like Bi-Han and Hanzo both canonically killed each other and yet I still like their ship so much more than Kuai Liang and Hanzo’s JKJSDJKSD. (Wow this section got long kljsdjkdssd I don’t even know if any MK fans follow me at all) - What’s your favorite headcanon of [pairing]? - HMMMM OH GOD MY BRAIN WENT BLANK LKJDSKJLSD. I really like the thought of Grimm teaching Hollow how to dance. It started off as building up Hollow’s strength and stamina as they recover, but then it turned into a cute and fun bonding activity between the two of them. Speaking of that, I really like the headcanon of Grimm helping them recover after the events of Hollow Knight. It starts off as him putting forth a wholesome helpful hand to the family of the little vessel that helped him, and then slowly,,, slowly,,, they fall in lov,,,, - What song(s) remind you of [pairing]? - OOO I actually have an entire Grollow playlist on Spotify LKJSDKJLSD. My top 3 songs for them are: Everything I Wanted - Billie Eilish Papermoon (English cover) - Caleb Hyles Pink In The Night - Mitski - What kind of dates do you think [pairing] would go on? - DREAM DATES. Grimm can control nightmares, and so sometimes he’ll enter Hollow’s sleeby noggin and he’ll chance the scene into something else entirely. He can’t physically take them far away (I mean he could, but Hollow wouldn’t want to leave Hallownest or stay away from their family for too long) so he’ll go in their dreams and take them on a cute date in a kingdom that he’s visited before. He can conjure up literally anything he can imagine, so a lot of the dates are very unique and fun for them. And completely safe! Since it is in a dream. Whenever he and his troupe have to leave for a bit, the best way for both of them to stay in contact is love letters and Grimm visiting their dreams! send me some ship asks!

Ship it

What made you ship it? You sdlkfjdfdksj I was ambivalent to uninterested on the idea of this pairing for a while after I got into Hollow Knight, but hearing you talk about it really made them grow on me. While I also enjoy these two in other dynamics together or not interacting at all, the ship is just really pleasant to think about.

What are your favorite things about the ship? I feel like their dynamic together is interesting. The contrast of the warmth of nightmare flames vs the cold emptiness of void, the fact that they’re both vessels and yet have completely different experiences with this similar role, and also that they have comparable fighting styles. There’s a lot of parallels to be made between the two, and it’s a fun potential relationship to explore.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? I think my only major unpopular opinion is that from some fan content I’ve seen there’s definitely a vibe of,,, parts of the fandom putting these two together as a ship because they want to fit it into a very bl-esque mold. Which is. kind of :/ because Hollow isn’t male or masc-coded, so I kind of distrust a lot of content involving this pairing unless I know that the person creating the content is coming at it with those lenses.

[grollow]

Uh hi, hello there! Sorry to bother but you're the only person I can ask this since your username is named after the ship (that and I've seen your works around and seen you mentioned by countless artists/writers so to me, you're like a higher being in HK Community so by default, you have most answers)

So why's Grollow such a popular ship? I've seen like 10 fanarts of it passed by my dashboard every time I'm here. Can you tell me what's going on rn? Is an event going on with this ship? Was there a confirmation from Team Cherry these two had a thing? Is this HK people's way of coping while they wait for Silksong? All fanfic/arts of it is amazing, don't get me wrong but I've recently got into HK so I'm not sure if I like it yet nor even any ships at all in general besides canon plus that hc of Grimm and Radi being twins makes me confused on why Hollow would be with somebody who's sister tormented them for so long. Makes it so overwhelming, you know?

Sorry if this offends you in any way. I don't mean to do that. I just want to know what's been going on and why's it so popular is all. Again apologies for being rude if I am

Hi Anon!

Gotta admit, this is the first time someone’s ever called me a Higher Being in anything, hahaha. Especially since I’m not only not the origin of this ship (I got the username from my sweet friend @sundimus who let me have it) and I’m also relatively new to the fandom. I think I’m just very loudly outspoken. I don’t usually get into ship discourse, but this sounds like it’s coming from a place with good intentions, so I’ll reply to you with my genuine opinions!

So before I go into explaining why I like Grollow, I will preface with this answer: shipping is a highly subjective topic. In any fandom, bluntly. Sometimes people pick “I like these two because they have similar names” and sometimes people go “I like them because I think they’d be pretty together” etc. Shipping in every single fandom will always be based in large on people’s own personal headcanons and aesthetics. And for everyone who picks a ship not explicitly confirmed in canon, it’s for whatever reason they want, and for the most part I am very ‘ship and let ship’ while avoiding whatever I personally am not interested in.

(FTR, I also think this is an attitude most people should adopt. You don’t have to like what I like. I don’t have to like what you like. What you write or draw is absolutely none of my business. You like sparkle? Draw sparkle.)

Toward that end, I am not here to convince you to like Grollow, nor am I here to imply that disliking it is wrong. It is not a canon ship. There is nothing in canon to indicate that Grimm and Hollow have ever met. It’s not confirmed by Team Cherry, and I don’t think shipping is a ‘coping’ mechanism for waiting for Silksong. I think why people ship things vary anywhere from ‘they’d be cute’ to ‘I saw artwork I liked of them’ to ‘this particular fanfic’s dynamics made me love them.’ And that’s true for ANY non canon pairing! And all of them are valid reasons. Hell “I ship this because my friend does” is even valid. Shipping is such a subjective thing that people can and should do what makes them happy and stay in their own lane, really.

I’m a big fan of the old fandom term ‘YMMV’ (Your mileage may vary). There are some ships I really don’t like. There are some I straight up do not understand. And there are others, like Grollow, that I stand in the corner yelling from the rooftop about. As long as ship is tagged correctly, I am very “if you see something you don’t like but it was tagged, that’s on you. The blacklist exists for a reason.”

Sorry if this kinda sounds a little mean, I don’t intend it to. I just see a lot of people being shamed for liking pairings (And I have personally been shamed for liking Grollow – not by you, but there’s been a few anons I’ve ignored) and I don’t agree with, or support that. I want to make that clear.

So with all that out of the way, time to talk about my * favorites * ~

There are a LOT of reasons that I think Grimm and Hollow work. To start with the most superficial one: they are palette matches. Grimm’s color schemes are red and black, Hollow’s are pale blue and white. They complement each other very well. They also have similar movesets canonically. Ever seen the video from Fireb0rn of the mod where they’re fighting together in the Colosseum? Where their AI practically works together? It’s delightful. It’s undoubtedly unintentional by the developers, but it’s absolutely wonderful and gives me life.

From a lore reason, I will say that I have not, and will never, headcanoned Hollow as the type to blame Grimm for something that his sister (Bc I also subscribe to “they’re siblings your honor”) did. My personal headcanons aside for Hollow, blaming Grimm for the Radiance is something that seems wildly unfair – and since Hollow is a blorbo that is mostly a blank slate in canon, I say they’d never do that.

(I’d like to point out though – so many people ship them with moth OCs. The same argument could be made there. If they’d blame Grimm for Radi, why not her moths who are indirectly responsible for her never dying properly? The answer is because none of us want to believe Hollow is the type to hold a grudge over that against uninvolved people.)

Grimm is literally the antithesis to both the Radiance and to the Pale King in terms of what he stands for. They run from and fear death to varying degrees. Grimm embraces it. He welcomes it. From death he is reborn, and so instead of running from it, he runs towards it. He’s a Higher Being who directly involves himself with mortals instead of staying aloof. He uses a mortal vessel (just like the vessels were created to hold Radi, his own are created to hold him) but everything in canon suggests that, at the very least, this is an agreement, not forced. You CAN argue that he’s forcing Grimmchild into this ritual and that it’s bad – Brumm/the Banishment ending certainly implies that – but I’ve never subscribed to it because every other character’s dialogue disagrees with that. I’ve personally always took it to be ‘Grimmchild and Grimm 100% agree to this.’

In this regard: They are cinematic foils. Grimm, who dies to be reborn, a willing vessel for the Nightmare flame, who chooses this existence. Hollow, who cannot die despite trying, a ‘willing’ (if very heavily forced into it) vessel for the Radiance, who clearly does not want this existence and is doing it out of a sense of duty—to their father, to Hallownest, to whatever motivation you decide to chose for Hollow here.

Canon is very loosey-goosey in personalities. The beauty of environmental storytelling is that we can fill in a lot. And as the above: I’ve filled in that they are foils. That’s where my mind took it.

So how do these people who are veritable opposites meet, how can they become romantically attached?

I took one look at the Radiance and went ‘abusive.’ I have my own interpretations of her, but the easiest explanation without this becoming entirely about her is one of Grimm’s lines from my own fanfic: “Those with similar scars recognize them in others.” [1]

Abusers are people first and foremost. The Radiance, in my headcanons, is very abusive to everyone in her life. That includes Grimm. I do not see them as loving siblings, because her nature is very self-absorbed; she clearly, canonically, does not see other peoples emotions. Do I think she intended to hurt Grimm? Probably not. But I do believe that she was abusive, because someone who was willing to wipe out Hallownest to try and maintain control would not simply be that way overnight, and only at one specific enemy. People like that… they’re like that to everyone. It’s not an if they abuse you. It’s a when they do it.  

Starting to see where I’m going with this? I believe that the Radiance was cruel to Grimm – and that he’d see very similar traits to himself in Hollow.

I also believe that if you headcanon that Hollow can dream – before, after, during the imprisonment – there’s no way in hell they did not have Nightmares. The most common interpretation in fandom is after imprisonment with the belief that the seals would’ve kept Grimm out (a theory I subscribe to) but it’s clear that Hollow could dream when Radi was sealed within them. For this ship to work, most people say that they can continue to dream after. And nightmares would naturally bring them to Grimm’s realm. I personally subscribe to the belief that he would absolutely interfere to help them, because as I said: I believe he has similar scars, and he’d want to help.

A very common fandom interpretation is ‘Hollow is afraid of Grimm’ and I think that’s very valid. They probably would be at first. He’s a dream god. That’s frightening to them after what they’ve been through. For this ship to work, both of them have to be willing to work through that. Which circles to my next point of: this ship only ever works if its written with them becoming friends first. Friendship based on patience, understanding, and respect, as well as healing. Hollow straight out of the egg, in my opinion, ain’t crawlin’ into anyone’s bed. You’d be lucky if they even wanted to crawl into their own. Pretty sure they just want to sit and remain still until a new order comes. Poor traumatized thing. In every interpretation of this pairing that I’ve liked, Grimm has been working with Hollow to work through their pain, from a place of genuine understanding and empathy from what they’ve experienced. [2]

As for how this friendship becomes ship? The Author Is Demi, my friend, and I headcanon both of them to be as well. Any good romantic relationship should, in my opinion, have a very strong foundation based in friendship, in genuine fondness for one another. And it is COMPLETELY OKAY to leave their relationship here, if you’re ‘hey I support aroace’ or even just think that’s all that it needs to be. But me? I’ve always looked at Hollow as someone who loves too much, loves too deeply, pours their whole heart into something. It’s a hard heart, riddled with scars, from people who have mistreated it throughout their life, but their base nature is someone who does nothing halfway. You get everything or you get nothing.

So of course I headcanon them as a romantic, who wants someone to love and accept them unconditionally, who wants someone who sees their scars and rather than wanting to fix them, wants to complement them. Of course I headcanon them as someone who, below their façade of feeling nothing, wants to be complete, wants to belong, and wants to be good enough when all their life, they’ve been told that what they are is wrong, isn’t okay, isn’t right. And Grimm, who is old enough to understand that and may even have similar history depending on how he’s written, is perfectly suited to do all of those things. To be that person. Because, personally? I believe he wants all the same things. Someone to accept him as he is. Someone who is not afraid of death. Someone who isn’t intimidated by the Ritual. Someone who will stay.

In short: They’re cute, your honor.

At the end of the day, it’s all about what you think fits with the characters. Some people write them as never getting along. Some people write them as just friends. Some people write them as straight enemies. Since they never meet in canon, it’s an open sandbox. This is the castle I’m choosing to build. You can, and should, build whatever one you like.

Obligatory: queer platonic relationships are ALSO valid, if you wanna take that spin on it. My q key is being a jerk to me so I was avoiding that word in this massive reply dskdksgj but it's still very valid

But if my soap box has brought you onto team Grollow, or at least opened your mind to the possibility, I’d be happy to recommend some of my favorite fics. If it hasn’t, I hope I’ve at least clarified things for you, anon. Thanks for your question!

[1] White and Gray, chapter 33: The Last Laugh is Mine

[2] Yes, I know, my most popular Grollow fic doesn’t wildly play with this. Shades of Black does. Living Dead was more ‘for fun,’ less ‘I feel the need to explain this ship.’

Hi, I'm Rhysa.

You may have known me as Ashe, which I still answer to.

And this is a multi-fandom blog where I sometimes share my own original content (usually writing). I am autistic, queer, nonbinary (they/them only, please) and opinionated. I'm also an adult. This blog is primarily SFW, but there may be some suggestive posts. If you are a minor, please consider that before following me (I won't take offense, promise). There won't be anything blatant, but I do reblog kink-positive things.

Primary Fandoms

Hollow Knight

FromSoft titles (especially Bloodborne and Dark Souls III, but sometimes Elden Ring and the other Dark Souls titles)

Ender Lilies

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker (there will be spoilers here)

I am a horror fan so you may also see random horror-related things or strangely passionate outbursts about vampires in fiction. I will not apologize. 

Mentioning Bloodborne to me is literally always a trap, I will become the most annoying person you know if you ask me about the Moon Presence.

I literally never shut up about Grimm from Hollow Knight.

Spare Me And You The Trouble

I am not here to get into shipping arguments with you or anyone else. If you REALLY want my opinions, you can send me asks off-anonymous and I'll answer you candidly in private. I am not interested in discourse of this nature (I am too old and tired please).

Also, if you are thinking about sending me some ask complaining that I ship Grollow, save us both the trouble and don't. I'm probably going to not answer.

But if you want to know why, I wrote a long answer here.

Writing Tags

My main tag for writing is #ashe writes. You can find my more popular fics under #w&g, #red sky, #do not go gently, #ld, and #butterfly effect. Other stuff is probably randomly tagged because I am very bad at remembering the tagging system. Sorry.

Asks are always open and I’m a chatty weirdo usually, so feel free to send anything you feel like that isn’t drama-related. If I am open for prompts, I will usually post something. Otherwise, you can probably assume that I am not (sorry).

Deepest apologies to the people who follow me hoping for regular FromSoft stuff but are just subjected to the constant bug train; it will continue to happen.

Stares into ur eyes knowingly and asks the numbers EIGHT AND NINETEEN 👁👁👁

You. Saw. Nothing.

You Saw Nothing

It never happened

8. If you had to write an entire story without either action or dialogue, which would you choose and how would it go?

I would 100% cut all action and go with pure dialogue, and I'd write it in letter format, which is essentially just all dialogue anyway. I'm a HUGE fan of writing dialogue and I'm great at it. Journal entries, letters, etc, are my comfort zone. This would be really easy for me.

I've been trying to convince @voidichor to write a Grollow fic with me this way. Ahahaha

19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?

Oh, uh. I started writing when I was 8-9ish, because I was hospitalized for (incorrectly diagnosed mental illness). There was a horror writing club at the psych ward that I was in, run by a much older boy. We weren't allowed most toys but they gave us composite notebooks and pencils, and so a lot of us would write little short stories that were pretty much a dumpster fire, but I realized I loved doing it. I loved it. I loved it so much that I kept doing it even when I came out of the hospital. That segued into roleplaying which was The Worst Decision That I Ever Made and is not at all for me anymore (personal drama related to it, I do not play well with others), and I think did a number on my writing skill, that I am only beginning to recover from.

As far as where I am now, I think I am in a good place surprisingly. The best thing I could've done for myself was start writing longform - it gives me a really relaxing way of writing without feeling like I have to meet anyone else's approval. I've been working on a mostly-original content thing (shared universe with Xanthe) that has been genuinely providing me nothing but joy and healing me. I still love working on my fanfics, too, and the reception to them has been largely good and motivating. I don't see myself ever pursuing anything more serious than this is something to do for fun, but yanno, there's nothing wrong with that, either. :>

BRAINROT GREEN LIGHT

Fkdhkghd ask box or dm, the eternal question

But the brainrot is mostly connected to the fact that I've got an au with the same premise as Radiant Vessel and!! Your art and earlier lore share got my own gears turning!!

(The differences are pretty much that my Hollow doesn't take over Hallownest and that the relationship with Radi is, unfortunately, romantic fkdhgkhd)

(It all ends in grollow :3c similar brainrot go brrrr the tall bugs should be happy together)

(I'm literally always hovering this close to infodumping about that one poor Hollow, but the recent lil comic you did reminded me of them so much, the interaction with Hornet. Chef's kiss. So good. I love all stuff Radi & Hollow, the fucked up of it is so hhhhhhhhhhng I want more of it)

Either is fine!! Up to u

Ooooo do they get in a sort of toxic relationship?? Since its gonna end up in grollow I assume theres gonna be like a big fallout between the two of them. Tbh I'm not a big fan of Hollow n Radi being involved romantically but I am interested in ur concept

Also!! Glad u like my silly things aaaaaa, I'll try to provide more eventually!

#bubba speaks

[bubba-draws]

What fandoms are you in? And what ships from them?

Oh! Glad u ask! I'm into many of them (mostly animanga/videogames), so the list is kinda big, but the ones I keep rotating in my brain are Jojo's Bizarre adventure, Demon slayer, Chainsaw man, Touhou, Pokemon, Hollow Knight and Stardew Valley! It's mostly boiled down to "if you give me enough world building material to make ocs then *I will*" (On this note, I used to be a big BNHA fan at the beginning of the series, no longer one though, but I have over 100 ocs from that time lmao)

As for ships! The rarepair/less popular ones I made art for are Gionara (jjba) rengiyuu (demon slayer) and nowadays grollow (hollow knight), shout out to ItaJun from jujutsu kaisen

If u want an entire detailed list of ships I like.... That's gonna be a long ass post HAKFHSKFHSJFJ

Edit: can't fucking believe I forgot Undertale/Deltarune oh my god

#for someone who is demi i sure do love grabbing two (or more) characters like dolls and making them kiss #bubba speaks #a pattern ive noticed when it comes to fav rareships is usually they are opposites in personality/colors/themes but ywt they compliment- #each other so nicely #ive got brainworms yall #oh and one of them gotta die early/late into the series too #its not on purpose is just my favorites always die for some reason :/

[sundimus]

for the ship asks!: what is your absolute favorite ship? favorite AU ideas for grollow? is there a ship that you used to ship, but don’t anymore?

- what is your absolute favorite ship? - Honestly, Grollow kldjsjklds. Like, I really like ships like Sayonika, Karabita, Bireena, Laurie/Kate (Laurie the character not Laurie the me), and McHanzo (back when I was into Overwatch jkdskds) just to name a few, but Hollow Knight has been my most major hyperfixation that I’ve had in a while so I’ve latched onto Grollow the most out of all of them. A ship that could rival it is Violentine from the Walking Dead games by Telltale but, while the entire series is etched into my memory cause I’ve been super into since it came out in 2012, I would need to replay it in order to get back the same feelings I had for it. It’s kinda left my mind this year a bit. - Favorite AU ideas for [pairing]? - OOO I’m in LOVE with soulmate aus! It’s my favorite kind of au, ngl. Specifically, I feel like reincarnation aus would work well with Grollow. Like they keep finding each other over many many years and many many different universe. That’s so sweet. Another au I like for them is an Arranged Marriage au that me and my partner came up with. I actually don’t particularly like arranged marriage aus in general, but if it’s written really well then I can vibe with it. Another one that has interesting potential is Grimm taking Pure Vessel away from their fate and they join his troupe 🤔 Trying to save them from their inevitable suffering. - Is there a ship that you used to ship, but don’t anymore? - Grimm/Brumm actually! Like I liked the appeal of it at first and I’ve seen really cute fan content for it, but over time as I thought more about the ship itself my mind changed and I was slowly like “Hm... Nah, this ship isn’t for me.” Not that it’s bad or anything, but I simply don’t care for it anymore. send me some ship asks!

#there's actually one ship i have that rivals both grollow and violentine #but i would literally actually risk getting sent death threats and anon hate bc of the fandom it's in #if i were to say it #thanks for the ask!!! #luminesnake
