Since you’re on that hating Wish train (I’m there with you), I think you might be interested in checking out Jonah Who Two on YouTube bc he’s re-written some of the songs (his “This is the Thanks I Get?!” is really good and way more villainy)
Jokes on you, I ALREADY HAVE!!! >:D

You all know that one part in Well of Ascension where "Oreseur" jokes about eating Hammond like "One is, after all named "Ham"..."
Well that joke doesn't quite work when the book is translated to languages where ham doesn't have any food related meanings. So in the finnish translation the line goes like "I think he'd make a good ham-burger" which I honestly think is way funnier. Seriously hamburger? Are there even hamburgers in universe? Well it's not like impossible but honestly I can't picture it.

The Grimwalker Children’s Rhyme
(Headcanons + a handclapping song for fan works)
Thinking of the Boiling Isles and how Grimwalkers are clearly semi-common knowledge. Except, they seem to be more old legends or folk tales. Then, my baby cousin wanted to play ring around the rosie and ‘london bridge’. They both are dark if you look at the historical context, but without it they just sound like nonsensical silliness.
So, I decided to write my own version of what I think a Grimwalker children’s rhyme/song would look like. Specifically as a hand-clapping game or a jumpeope/hopscotch game. Feel free to use it in any works of your own. Just be sure to credit me — My username on every other site is Icey5105
I’m picturing this as the kids don’t know what a Grimwalker is and no one actually knows the whole process to make a Grimwalker anymore. As for the history, I’m following a head canon I’ve seen before that Grimwalkers used to be primarily to give grieving mothers a way to still have their dead or stillborn babies. Possibly even without the understanding that this isn’t their actual child that’s been revived, but a clone. It used to be a much more common practice before Palistrom started becoming harder to find or maybe they realized that Grimwalkers weren’t actually the same people anymore so they got a bad rep. There were likely some discrimination/judgment over them, because they aren’t witches and if the lack of magic isn’t just a Hunter thing… yeah. They would not be treated fairly.
Anyway, here we are! The Grimwalker Children’s Rhyme:
Grimwalker, Grimwalker,
One two three.
My baby is lost to me.
Grimwalker, Grimwalker,
Four, five, six,
Toss him in with palistrom sticks.
Grimwalker, Grimwalker,
Seven, eight, nine.
Bury him and he’ll be fine.
Grimwalker, Grimwalker,
Clock strikes ten.
Now my baby’s back again.
