im curious, what do you consider ooc for grian? i agree w you completely but i would like to know 👁👁

ohoho *takes a BIG sip of my 5 hour energy and slams it on my bedside stool*

okay, so i HOPE this doesnt become a big old rant, because i really should sleep, but, the thing people misunderstand about him MOST, which therefore sort of branches into most other mischaracterizations i see with his character, is that he's not an asshole.

he's also not not an asshole.

here's what i mean: grian's moral compass is looser than a door without hinges, but his honor, and the honor of others, holds priority. in season 8 during the boatem prank war with big eyes, he aptly called his policy, "prank hard, clean up harder."

for the more innocuous offenses he commits, like pranks, and minor amounts murder, he will almost always feel bad and offer to help clean up if he feels like what he did is "too much." "too much" is dependent on circumstance, but most often it includes permanent loss of valubles- like armor, large amounts of resources, and hard to obtain items- which he will attempt to replace or make up for with helping the unfortunate recipient of his ill-fated prank with chores. "too much" also includes griefing and base editing whether it be accidental or on purpose- most notable examples being in season 7 when keralis discovered the "removing stuff from keralis' base" challenge, and rebuilding part of scar's base in season 8 after accidentally getting it blown up. if he feels like it's even partially his fault, he'll almost always offer to help fix the mess, even if he does complain about it the entire way though.

so he likes to fuck with people- he doesnt like permanent damage. that doesnt mean he doesnt occasionally want to cause permanent damage, such as in the life series, but he also often needs a reason to cause damage like losing lives or permadeath.

renchanting trap? scar wasn't doing his job properly as the only red life. tnt base trap? home no longer safe, revenge for pizza. killing jimmy and mumbo in last life? they provoked him and were reaping the consequences. killing bigb and ren in double life? they provoked him by (to his knowledge) being the cause of scar's death as a yellow life. no matter what death grian has personally called in the life series, either before or after it took place, you can find an instance of grian saying why he felt he needed to do it. and if the death is accidental, or accidental collateral damage, he tries to make up for it with his time and energy. (like with the physical objects.)

i see a lot of fics on ao3 with the tag "grian is an asshole in this one, sorry", and i dont normally read those, because those just leave a bad taste in my mouth- but i also see a lot of fics unintentionally write grian as more of a jerk because they forget he abides by honor. its not that grian isnt a murderer, its that he needs a reason to do it- or he'll excuse it after the fact with a reason. its not that grian isnt reckless with other people's lives, its that if he realizes the damage he causes is permanent he balks at doing it. its not that grian isnt an asshole, its that he likes to piss off people but wouldn't dream of purposefully damaging his friendships. grian, as a character, is defined by his willingness to push boundaries and his hesitance to cross the line. and far too often, people forget these two coexisting facts, and write grian as only being one or the other.

again, this is all mostly opinion and writing advice, and ive read fics where grian was ooc that i still enjoyed. but also sometimes you just look at a fandom and you're like "wow youre so valid but youre also wrong!" and occasionally i do be feeling that. in the end what matters is that the fic was fun to write, and the rant resulting from that is also fun to write. goodnight all,

this was supposed to be a tribute to scar and grian's relationship throughout the events of 3rd life, if you want my rambling, here u go:

What i wanted to highlight was actually the NEGATIVE aspects of scar and grian's relationship. Despite offering to become Scar's indentured servant of his own volition, it is often forgotten that Grian was against Scar almost every step of the way. Grian often dismisses Scar's ideas or doesn't take them seriously. Grian sabotaged Scar's friendship coupons things and actively warned their competitors that Scar was scamming them. Grian, despite everything they've been through, was wary of red life!Scar.

Yet, seemingly despite himself, Grian seems to value Scar's life equally to- and perhaps even more than- his own. The way Grian reacts to Scar getting injured or killed is visceral, real, and apparently involuntary. Yet Scar hardly sees the same Grian we see. Scar didn't see the fond way Grian looked at him chasing down an innocent bunny in the desert; didn't hear his guttural scream of anguish as he died. Scar sees the Grian that think's he's a helpless dumbass more than he sees the Grian that is loyal to him despite his own nature.

Yet again, seemingly despite Scar's own will, he was the one who offered to lay down his life for Grian. Only at the very end did we see that he truly did recognize the care behind each action.

I am forever grateful that I was there during the airing of 3rd Life because I truly feel that this was truly the point where Scar and Grian's relationship evolved into something much closer than before, for both the content creators and the characters'.

As for the characters in particular, however you want to interpret their relationship, they truly grew to become partners in every sense of the word, and It was a true kindness that we got to bear witness to it.

Potential of scar being the winner if he manages to still be alive even for a moment after grian hits the ground

i dont think my heart can handle it if they win again but at the same time their storyline has been so solid if this happens im gonna jump off a bridge/pos

Personal headcanon: Fatal scars remain after respawn

context: this

more under the cut, beware of the warnings!

tw// VERY graphic description of injury and death

In a world like that, beating someone to death is considered cruelty of the highest order, as if the person respawns, their body would be covered in permanent bruises that will never heal (c!tommy enjoyers ignore this haha)

As such Grian tries to give Scar a quick and relatively painless death by snapping his neck, not knowing that people don't die immediately after a broken neck.

When you break someone's neck, the snapped synapses will paralyze the person, which is what causes them to stop moving, whilst the actual death comes from the lack of oxygen that occurs after their airways are blocked. In the meanwhile, the broken bones cause swelling around the throat.

TLDR: imagine Scar being accompanied by the sounds of Grian sobbing as he leaves the material plane.

a semi-comprehensive list on elemental reactions in genshin impact

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Not included is the freeze reaction, which is hydro and cryo in any order. When frozen opponents are hit by a heavy attack (claymore attacks, plunge attacks, and geo attacks), it will produce a shatter reaction, dealing physical damage.

All reaction damage will increase based on the caster's elemental mastery. in the case of crystallize, elemental mastery will instead increase the damage absorption strength of the shield.

A swirl reaction may produce another reaction, and the damage dealt will be based on the elemental mastery of the character that dealt the swirl reaction.

Free PDFs of The Journey to the West

I have updated my blog with better PDFs of the 2012 revised edition of The Journey to the West. The four volume series was translated and heavily annotated by Prof. Anthony C. Yu (1938–2015). This is considered THE most accurate English translation of the tale to date.
