OK SO I HAVE A GRUB. AND BEFORE ANY OF YOU START, YES, HE’S FUCKING ADORABLE. I KNOW. I HAVE EYES. HE’S GOT GAMZEE’S HORNS AND HAIR, MY TEETH, AND SOMEHOW THE COLOR OF THE INSIDE OF A FUCKING BANANA. HIS BLOOD IS THAT SAME WEIRD YELLOW COLOR, TOO, BECAUSE APPARENTLY THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU THROW A MUTANT BLOOD INTO THE MIX. HIS TEMPERATURE IS ALSO ABSOLUTELY FUCKED. HE’S COLD. NOT ‘OH, HIS LITTLE HANDS ARE A BIT CHILLY’ COLD. I MEAN COLD AS A CORPSE. I’M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO WRAP HIM UP, CUDDLE HIM, OR GIVE HIM A WARM BATH JUST TO GET HIM BACK TO A TEMPERATURE THAT DOESN’T MAKE ME THINK I’M GOING TO HAVE TO START SCREAMING FOR A MEDIC. WHICH, OF COURSE, HE LOVES. THE SECOND HE GETS INTO WARM WATER, HE STARTS MAKING THESE LITTLE CHIRPS AND HONKS AND GETS THIS LITTLE GLEAM IN HIS EYES. AND I SWEAR TO GOG, IT’S THE EXACT SAME LOOK GAMZEE GETS WHEN HE’S ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING THAT’S GOING TO MAKE ME QUESTION EVERY DECISION I’VE EVER MADE. SO THAT’S FUCKING GREAT. I’VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER I’M ACTUALLY CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF HIM. HE’S SO SMALL, AND THERE’S SO MUCH THAT CAN GO WRONG WHEN YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT CAN’T EXACTLY TELL YOU WHAT IT NEEDS YET. BUT I’M FIGURING IT OUT. I’M LEARNING HIS LITTLE SOUNDS. I KNOW WHICH ONES MEAN HE’S HUNGRY, WHICH ONES MEAN HE WANTS TO BE HELD, AND WHICH ONES MEAN HE’S PROBABLY ABOUT TO GET INTO SOMETHING HE SHOULDN’T. I’M STILL WORRIED. PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL BE. BUT I’M STARTING TO THINK MAYBE THAT’S NOT ENTIRELY A BAD THING. MAYBE IT JUST MEANS I CARE. …AND, YEAH. I’VE GOTTEN PRETTY FUCKING ATTACHED. IF HE MAKES ONE OF THOSE LITTLE HONKS AT ME, I’M GETTING UP TO SEE WHAT HE WANTS. WHICH IS FINE. HE’S MY GRUB. I LOVE HIM. I’M PROBABLY GOING TO REGRET POSTING THIS LATER, BUT WHATEVER.
YEAH. JUST KEEP A BUNCH OF BANDAGES ON HAND AND BLANKETS TO KEEP YOUR CLAWS FROM MEETING HIS OR HER BODY TILL AT LEAST ONE MONTH. THEY ARE LIKE SUPER DELICATE AT FIRST AND GROW HARDER SKIN AS THEY GET OLDER. ITS LIKE IT NEEDS TO DRY OUT A LITTLE. BUT ALSO KNOW THEY CAN TAKE MORE OF A “BEATING” THAN YOU MIGHT THINK. THERES A LOT OF SQUISH THERE FOR A REASON.
8=l < This is good information, thank you 8=l < I'll keep it in mind 8=l < And human terminology does have a way of creeping into the vocabulary doesn't it
weird but cute.
YEAH TELL ME ABOUT IT. STRIDER HAS HAD ME WRAPPED AROUND HIS LITTLE FINGER FOR GOG KNOWS HOW LONG AND BECAUSE OF IT I KEEP ENDING UP SLIPPING IN THE HUMANS WEIRD LEXICON OF TERMINOLOGY.
“WEIRD BUT CUTE”,HUH? …YEAH. THAT’S MY GRUB. HE’S A LITTLE FUCKING WEIRDO, BUT HE’S MY LITTLE FUCKING WEIRDO. AND, OBVIOUSLY, HE’S CUTE. I’VE BEEN SAYING THAT. …NOT THAT I’M SAYING IT AGAIN BECAUSE YOU AGREED WITH ME OR ANYTHING. BUT YOU’RE RIGHT. HE’S FUCKING ADORABLE. LOOK AT HIM. I MADE THAT. WELL—OBVIOUSLY I DIDN’T MAKE HIM BY MYSELF, THAT WOULD BE FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE, BUT— YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I’M A LUSUS NOW. I’M ALLOWED TO BE PROUD.
never said you weren't allowed to. you'll do ok. i don't know shit about this so i don't got any suggestions. just don't let it chew on cables or something. glad you're doing fine i guess even if you're not mine.
SORRY. KIND OF CRAZY PROTECTIVE RIGHT NOW. I DIDN’T MEAN TO COME OFF SOUNDING LIKE AN ASSHOLE THERE. AND THANKS.. ALSO WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NOT YOURS? WHAT EVEN IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR ME?
mine as in you from our timeline. we met a couple times during the game and it's been a while.
YEAH I REMEMBER MEETING YOU A FEW TIMES IN MY TIMELINE TOO BUT I DIDNT KNOW IF YOU HAD SOME SORT OF DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP WITH ME THERE. IF YOUR VERSION OF ME IS ANYTHING LIKE ME THEN HES PROBABLY ALIVE, IN PAIN BUT ALIVE.
good. if you can take a stab from me then your grub is gonna be fine.
