on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.
Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.
Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.
Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.
There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.
I was playing Book 6 and I got to that part where Idia was saying what he discovered about Grim and then I was asking myself,
What are the things we know about Grim? Did we find something now? And now with Book 8 coming I'm even more curious about his lore and involvement in the story ( I don't think we saw Grim eating Malleus' blot stone ... yet )
We actually didn't learn anything new about Grim in book 7. Here's what we do know about Grim right now:
Birthday, age, and homeland are unknown.
He is 70 cm tall.
He's considered a first year student in Class A, seat 9.
He can breathe fire, though he tends to lack precision and his magic is sometimes described as "crude" by other characters.
He started the Gastronomy Club. Grim generally enjoys eating, with his favorite food being canned tuna and not disliking anything in particular (seeing as he'll eat even blot stones). His best subject is also listed as "eating".
His pet peeve is taking notes; he is not depicted as particularly studious.
His talent is escaping.
His best subject is Animal Linguistics.
He has a close relationship with Yuu, Ace, and Deuce--especially Yuu. Grim seems to be anxious when the topic of Yuu going home and leaving him alone in Twisted Wonderland comes up.
Crowley calls Grim a "direbeast", but it's not certain what Grim actually is. He does, however, take offense to being called a tanuki (or weasel, in EN).
He likes attention.
His dream is to be a world-class mage someday!
He is unable to recall memories of his family or his past, but reports the following: "I remember wakin' up hungry and alone. It was real cold. I was waitin' out there for someone to come get me for ages. What happened after that again? It's all so foggy..."
Idia confirms in book 6 that even though Grim doesn't seem powerful, there is complex ancient magic layered over each other. This makes it difficult to track blot accumulation. There seems to be "thousand year old" ancient sorcery involved.
Idia theorizes that Grim possesses a curse or a blessing similar to his own family's.
And while we haven't seen Grim eating Malleus's blot stone on screen, there's still definitely ominous implications! The current popular theory seems to posit Grim as a sorcerer's apprentice from long ago.
YES!! HE GOT A CARDBOARD CUTOUT!!!
Want to share the 70cm Grim cardboard stand-up I had drawn for the event in Hong Kong!
He is so cute๐ญ๐ฉต I got so excited when I saw the stand-up in person!!!!!
There was a poll about your favorite event in Twisted Wonderland, and the result is Ghost Marriage! I got so happy because that's my favorite event too! I put extra effort into this and hope everyone can see how great Grim is๐ฅน
Everyone took pictures with him yesterday, and I was smiling like a proud mother...
I realized I can be bought with food.
Someone I like, but found annoying handed me an uneaten hot pizza for free and all sins are forgive. It was stuffed crust.
That's it, that's their friendship
: GET HIS GAY ASS SUA ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐!!!
: Here is my original post on the dead bird app, I drew them cause I wanted to quote tweet a funny post about Sua and Ivan โ (โ ย โ ;ย ย โ ใฎโ ย โ โ ย โ ;โ ย โ )โ .
As much as I love it, there is several hoops on fire I have to convince someone to jump through in order to read it.
Funniest fandoms are where the fans are like, "I'm obsessed with this. I don't recommend it even slightly."
He has a face that only an Isekai person could love.
I love my ugly, hideous, bad-looking, unsightly, and ugly cat raccoon son ๐
Everyone but Shang Qinghua can see it
I love this design!

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
