So, I know you've talked about how Jevil and Grillby's relationship is strained, but does Grillby ever warm up to him? In your fight comic, Jevils been shown to comfort Grillby, in small ways anyhow, lending him his cape and letting him mourn. You've stated how Jevil sympathizes with him. Does grillby ever do anything back? Does he ever comfort Jevil or help take care of him in any way?
Yes! Grillby did eventually warm up to him, although it took a while. And their relationship wasn't perfect after this event. There were still times afterwards where Grillby was in a low and hated Jevil all over again.. But this was the start.
The start to Grillby realizing that hating Jevil and being mean to him doesn't make him feel any better. And no matter how much he hates Jevil, its not gonna bring back what he lost. Its also getting harder and harder to hate Jevil anyways. He protects their group with all his might. And even with a horrible wound on his leg and exhaustion pulling at his soul.. he still stays up late to keep the fire going and guard the group.
And despite how mean Grillby has been, Jevil still treats him with the same care he does everyone else. Still sharing the same amount of food, still protecting him with all his might. Grillby doesn't understand why he does it. He doesn't know why Jevil would care about him despite how mean he's been. Why would Jevil be kind to him? Maybe that confusion is why that "thank you" made him light up so much. Its feels.. good, to be thanked. It feels good to be kind. Being kind feels much better than hating someone endlessly.
There is a LOT of Iron Man merch out there. One day, Stark Industries comes out with a line of Iron Man themed night lights that look like arc reactors. The marketing? "For kids who are scared of the dark: Iron Man will protect you."
In completely unrelated news, a whole bunch of child abusers across the country have recently been arrested as a result of anonymous tips to local authorities.
Bonus:
It's an open secret at some point. Teens who are being abused start buying the night lights. Hell, adults start buying them. Charities pop up to cover the cost for anyone who needs it. Kids who are newly safe often send their night lights on to others ("I'm not scared of the dark anymore," they say).
Even with all of this, nobody snitches to the media or government. They all know grown-ups tend to complicate and ruin precious things.
It helps that the night lights clearly can distinguish between different types of situations. Kids whose parents need mental health or addiction support suddenly find they're being contacted by free services that actually help. If ICE is a concern, the people knocking on the door are not cops but immigrant rights activists. Kids who are hungry get food. Families who need housing support coincidentally find it.
"Iron Man will protect you," indeed.
This fic idea was inspired by this post from @fotibrit!!
My piece for the Todomomo Seasons Zine from last year!
Todomomo carving out pumpkins for pumpkin soup most likely, maybe pumpking cake or muffins? We always get a lot of pumpkins from my grandma + we don’t celebrate halloween so pumpkins always mean it’s food time for me >:D
Autumn is my fav season so I’m happy I could draw something autumn-y for this zine<3
Bunny and I went to Sharks practice yesterday and I brought a film camera to take photos which was VERY disturbing to the zoo animals, but I'm hopeful at least one of the 12 photos I took of David Quinn yelling comes out well. I used to do a ton of film photography in high school but this was pre-Youtube, pre-smartphone, and pre-adult income so it was a lot of trial and error via Walgreens, and then I went to college and someone gave me a digital camera, so I just stopped doing it entirely. But I need a hobby that doesn't involve fanfiction in any way, so my mom and I dug up my dad's old film camera. I trialed it on some Sharks and some Cudas and some plants in the backyard today and took it to the most hole in the wall film developer I've ever encountered. I'm very curious how they will turn out. I figured I should get one roll out from under my belt just to adjust to how the camera works again. It's been interesting trying to remember how to frame photos on an SLR after over a decade of using a smartphone almost exclusively for photography. Like retraining my creative eye.
Unfortunately jokes on me because while Bunny and I were observing a very sparse optional practice for the Cuda, I caught a very tender moment between Akim Aliu and perma-injured housewife Anthony Vincent, so if that one single shot does turn out, I will be acting up.
