[spl-central]

I’m rewatching Detective Conan again and low-key wish Kaitou Kid was also a victim of APTX 4869

[spl-central]

[spl-central]

"Oh..."

"... freak out!"

Fun fact!

What he says and the way Dexter says it is most likely a reference to this song.

[spl-central]

>B/

(i'm sorry his little expressions can be so. screenshottable sometimes. i think dexter was missed potential like oh my gosh his little looks are so funny to me)

[spl-central]

wrong body

[spl-central]

So this is what happened right

[spl-central]

rooms that would make sense if the buyer got all of the items at a flea market. separately

… this fellow. 

CLEAN UP your FUCKING ROOM. 

What the hell even is that poster– he has a block with the number 2 on it? TONKA TRUCK? IS THAT A PLANT? CACTOS? WHAT IS THE FUCKING BOATRD? what the fuck is with his lamp– is that the only light source in this room? how does he access the bulletin board does he just stand on his desk

IS THIS WHERE THE ROOM IS IN RELATION TO THE REST OF THE HOUSE? WHERE'S THE OTHER WINDOW– THE OTHER ROOM BY IT(???)

I would say I guess that makes sense but going by that size that would mean it's tiny and for all intents and purposes it looks fairly average sized. 

Anyway first show appearance of Dexter!!1!11!!!!

Again… I do wish there was more… done with Dexter. Not like, oh more depth no I just wish they like– like I said earlier, did more of a bit than just the nerd thing. I think they needed him to be a little more… a little more… 

He needed to be a little more Charlie Day from Always Sunny. i will not elaborate on this,

[spl-central]

HOOLY SHIT the noise that came out of my mouth when i saw this..... and i didn't even realize it was you at first !!!!! HOLY SHIT THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!1 he looks amazing. properly scornful at those sibilants. ugggghhh this is amazing i have no words for it....

read arc of a scythe rn its amazing :prayer hands: and FOLLOW THIS ARTIST their work is so good...

fandomtober day THIRTEEEEEN (yes i missed 5 days in a row, exams are fun) today is AOAS!!! I really had no idea what to do for this one because theres so many moments in AOAS i'd love to draw, but I settled on doing greyson because @spl-central compiled a REALLY great post with all of greysons character descriptors, and I owe it to spl to finally draw him! I will do a proper greyson ref sheet eventually, but I have so many projects I'm doing simultaneously that it'll probably be awhile until i get to it :,)

ANYWAYS READ SCYTHE RN ITS SO GOOD

[spl-central]

I'll gather Greyson's stuff, and will hopefully remember to come back to this to do more characters. He both has a lot of descriptors, and not that many. Whatever. I'll be covering all three of his …iterations, I guess you could say. As he's mainly involved in the last two books of the original trilogy, I'll quote/source those books using either "TH" for "Thunderhead" or "TT" for The Toll." Here we go.

GENERAL:

Greyson Timothy Tolliver is 18 years old upon his first appearance into the series. Although he's apparently 6 months older than Citra, he looks younger [TH 105]. (Of course, this all changes after Endura, and then he's 20 or 21 when Citra is still 18, but... You catch my drift.)

We don't get an official pre- or post- dye hair color for him. What we do know about his hair, however, is this:

When going by Slayd he dyed it "obsidian-void" black. This is so dark it appears to absorb light [TH 168].

He shaved it off per curate Mendoza's request upon being given religious sanctuary [TH 295].

It's longer (enough) again in TT -- he's mentioned having bedhead a few times. His hair was also long enough to be blown around in the wind before he shaved it.

So yeah. No official hair color for him. At least none that I could find.

Onto his eyes! Funnily enough, these are given the most elaboration as to what they look like. Literally no other physical trait he has gets described or mentioned as often as his eyes do. I find it hilarious. Anyways. As far as I can tell, I don't think he gets any pigment-shifters (fairly certain these are a real thing within AOAS and if not then they're an Unwound thing and for that I'm sorry) injected to change his eye color. I'll go off of the assumption that he kept his eyes normal.

Citra mentions that his eyes are "dark" [TH 286].

Citra calls his eyes "desperate" twice after his car-splat, and then later doe-innocent after researching his profile.

Purity, nearing the end of their first date, likens his eyes to those of a "puppy-dog's."

When masquerading as Slayd, his dark dye job and his pseudo horns (more on these later) make his eyes "seem deep set in inscrutable shadow" [TH 168].

Citra comments on his eyes as Slayd. "And his eyes. An odd cross between a deer in headlights and a wolverine about to attack" [TH 275].

After some experience as The Toll, Citra comments that "his gaze so direct as to be invasive" [TT 436].

As the Toll, his eyes occasionally convince people to follow him. "…Convincing, when all else fails," according to The Thunderhead [TT 445]. Jeri commented on this. I'm also fairly certain that one of his consultations as The Toll has the Tonist who's seeking guidance mention his eyes. I could be wrong.

In terms of his general appearance, there's a few scattered mentions here and there. He's been remarked to have a relatively thin build a few times over both books, and more than one character comments on this when comparing the real Toll to the version of him they had in their heads. Most everyone expected him to be some 'crazed and wizened old man with a crazy beard.' They all remark on the fact that he's… not that, and that he looks really, really mundane.

When he's Slayd, his frame stays the same. Citra and Constantine can still recognize him. Along with the vanta-black hair he rocks, however, he also has miniature horn-like protrusions. He refers to them as "artificial horns" on page 168 of TH. They're metal inserts underneath his skin at both his left and right temples, making it look like he's growing small horns. He's apparently recognizable enough, though, despite all this. Or maybe it's just Scythe intuition?

"His hair, his clothes, and those baby horns at his temples might have fooled someone else, but his slim build and body language gave him away. And his eyes. An odd cross between a deer in headlights and a wolverine about to attack. The kid lived in a constant state of fight or flight." -Citra [TH 275]

According to himself, the combination of the hair and the horns (+ the way the two make his eyes look) make[s] him look "otherworldly and vaguely diabolical" [TH 168 (?)].

As The Toll, Greyson appears most often wearing a "long, rough-woven purple tunic, covered by an intricately embroidered scapular that drape[s] over his shoulders like a scarf and flow[s] neatly to the ground." [TT 132]. This sound pattern is, of course, a snippet of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," pointed out to us (and Greyson himself) by Sister Astrid. [TT 148]

His ideal version of casual-wear seems to be jeans and a T-shirt [TT 250].

He wears satin pajamas and slippers upon his midnight treks in The Cloisters [TT 256 & 259].

He appears and acts a bit more confident and mature in "The Toll" : "His jaw seemed harder, his gait more confident, and his gaze so direct as to be invasive" [TT 436].

He has a habit of cocking his head to one side when listening to The Thunderhead speak to him via his earpiece.

And that's kind of, like, it. He's mentioned as relatively boring before Shit Goes Down a couple of times. There are, of course, head canons of Greyson with grey hair and whatnot, but for all we know he could very well have brown hair or blonde hair before he decided to dye it as Slayd. His eyes are ...probably brown? Since it'd be hard to have "dark" blue eyes, but maybe in AOAS you can customize your baby and his parents decided to give him the mystical Tumblr Violet eyes, just darker or something.

He's not really mentioned as really tall or short? Again, most everything about him is gonna be average. Kindof vaugely sortof most of the point of his character. That's all I could find?? I have read "Gleanings" and there's no Greyson appearances. So, uh. If you still need this... enjoy.

Question for Scythe fans: Anybody have specific page numbers for character descriptions? This question applies to Scythe, Thunderhead, Toll and Gleanings (although if you talk about Gleanings, pls keep it spoiler free- i havent read it yet!)

I ask this because I'm trying to make a drawing of each notable character from the series. I'll do less notable characters too if I don't lose motivation, lol.

On my drawings I want to cite the pages where their descriptions are included, but unfortunately, I didn't mark the pages as I was reading. I'm trying to go through the book right now, but it's mostly skim reading since I don't want to reread the ENTIRE book. Any help finding descriptions would be greatly appreciated!!

[spl-central]

If you think about it, looking at Greyson's character arc as an average person with no single clue about the entire book series feels like you're reading a Florida Man news headline. Like what do you mean a fake Jesus Christ just stabbed a legal serial killer in the eye??? AND WITH A FUCKING FORK!?!?
