Commissions are once again open! I’d be super grateful if you’d check them out!

My paypal and business email is [email protected]!

A rough concept for Sir Grodus’s uniform!! Just...Just pretend I drew the helmet, ok. 

((Grodus, you mentioned a job before. Would you care to tell us about it?))

“Just a small computer repair business. I did go to school for 6 years studying computer science, after all…. It would be a shame not to use that for something. Granted, this doesn’t require nearly that much knowledge, but…. Considering I still can’t legally leave my own home without permission, I highly doubt I’ll be doing anything better in the near future…..  Though, one day I hope to get back into robotics. As soon as I’m not considered a high threat, I suppose.” 

So what kind of treasure ended up bein' behind the thousand year door?

“There was no treasure. Just immense pain and regret. I would really rather not discuss it.” 

“Actually, there was approxiamately 3 million coins worth of treasure stashed back there, you just missed it because you were too busy trying to kill everyone.” 

“Thanks for your needless input.” 

“Everything you say is a needless input.” 

(( hey, is there any canon mario character you’d like to see me draw that I haven’t yet/haven’t recently? I’m trying to get myself to sketch more and this seems like a nice warm up kinda thing))? 

Least favorite thing: whenever people draw RPG Mario villains and “conveniently” forget Beldam and Grodus 

Are you two still gay for each other? Just checkin'

“BUH HUH HUH! You really think I’d stay with him when he was trying to take over the world, but break up with him sometime after?! That’s stupid! Of COURSE we’re still dating! The couple who attempts world domination together stays together, or something!” 

“Yes, yes, we are still…together.” 

“You chumps need me to give him a smooch to prove it?” 

“I highly doubt that’s necessary, but…” 

how about Merle for the Nintendo sidekick meme?

A teacher for the Star Kids! No one really knows who he is, where he came from, or what’s up with the weird marks on his skin, but it’s not really important, is it? He’s quite good at his job, but he can be a touch strict. 

“In ANY case, I- (WE) are back in business.” 

Grodus, where exactly are you living right now? You're not still on the moon, right???

“No. I am not still on the moon. Someone,who just so happens to live with me, and name starts with a C, blew up the moon base. It’s uninhabitable now. At the moment, I am residing in Riverside.” 

“You probably recall the name from the infamous train station where 2 employees and a passenger of the train died. Well, just past that is a small town. It used to be much larger, but that disaster caused most people to move out. I am around 68% certain the town is haunted, but other than that, it’s fine.” 

“Hello. It would appear to be Halloween, so, please have a good one. Don't do anything reckless, you'll regret it.” 

(( I wanted to do a bigger event, but I don't have time;;; so instead, Grodus will be dressed like Maxie in all asks from now until November 2nd! Exciting! )) 

I wonder what "World-Domination" rehab classes are like.

“Very well. The class is, well… The easiest comparison is anger management classes. Except… Much more, ah, heavily guarded. Mm, this may get a touch lengthy, so I will put the rest under the cut.” 

“For the first year, we were placed under, um, I believe the term is ‘house arrest’? Crump and I were not allowed to leave our home, at all. If we needed anything, such as groceries, we had to write it down and someone would get them for us. Assuming they were approved, that is. Items deemed ‘dangerous’ we could not get. Doctors would be sent to us, as well. The entire year, we only left the house once, because I fainted and required hospitalization. I don’t know how or why Crump was allowed to come with, but he was there when I came to.”

“Ah, I haven’t explained how they did this yet, have I? My apologizes. They put us in these…bracelets… We couldn’t remove them. If we tried to leave the house, they’d blast a terribly loud siren that would incapacitate us, and the signal would be sent to the police. It at least had to courtesy to warn us, first… The only real problem was that their system was glitchier than TEC’s first set of coding… It constantly bugged and registered our home as half the size as it is, if not smaller… This lead to a few days where we couldn’t get to our kitchen, and another few where we couldn’t get to the restroom. Crump and I are not exactly….patient people. I am sure you can imagine how poorly we took being trapped in a few rooms for hours while they fixed it.” 

“Anyway, I was in this for 550 days, which is just a bit over a year and a half. Crump didn’t get his removed until a month after I did. Apparently, he was seen as the bigger threat… That may be somewhat true, but I digress. After the first year, though, we were allowed to leave to go to a few designated places.” 

“They would either send us with undercover officials, or would have a few at whatever place we were in, just in case. I could always recognize them, which I don’t think they had accounted for, but I never really did anything with this information. We worked up the ability to go to more places without extra eyes at the beginning of the second year. We have to fill out forms to get approval first, though, and we’re still heavily watched…. But it’s better. Once we get to 3 years, we won’t have to file out anymore, and I eagerly await that day. It’s been 805 days, so we still have nearly 300 days to go…. Unless we’re exceptionally good, in which case, it may be sooner.” 

“We have a therapist who comes in once a week for 3 hours at a time. We are both expected to keep a sort of diary, and are given extra tasks to do outside if class. This blog is one of mine. At first, we had to see her 5 times a week, but it’s been lowered as we progress. 3 months from now, she’ll come in bimonthly. After we complete this ‘class’, we’ll only be required to see her on a monthly basis. We weren’t given an end date to this, so it may well be the rest of our lives. Suppose that’s what you get for attempted world domination. Hmm. Well, anyway, they can’t let one weak woman come into a home of two, ah, dangerous criminals all by herself, so the house is heavily guarded whenever she comes.” 

“The session always takes place in our computer room, which is upstairs. There is one guard with exceptional hearing placed outside the door. It’s normally a squeek… They come rushing in at the sign of any suspicious noise. Once, Ortwin stood up just a bit too fast, and she came running in… There’s another guard placed outside, by the window. That’s the one I fail to understand the purpose of, because Crump cannot fit out a window, and if I tried to jump, I’d break several bones or have a heart attack. Or both. My health isn’t what it used to bit…. The third is placed right at the front door, of course, and there’s another in a van parked outside. Naturally, they all have walkie talkies, and will come running to each other at the first sign of trouble. That’s…never happened, thankfully. And, also thankfully, we have no neighbors, so no one even has to know about the fuss…” 

“Ah, it seems I’ve rambled on quite a bit here, my apologies, but I hope this is a satisfactory explanation.”

Similarly, a disastrous smoothie incident involving a blender.

(( OH MY GOD ))

(( now this one can’t be true, because he doesn’t like smoothies. )) 

Dropped his watch down the garbage disposal, and was too stubborn to call a plumber.

(( PEEPS OH MY GOD ))

((… Is it bad I think he’d totally do that, though. ))

4, 11, and 40 for Grodus for the character solidifying meme

4. What type of discipline was your character subjected to at home? Strict? Lenient?

His parents were pretty strict… Not to the point of like, you get a B and you’re dead, but they did have high expectations for him. It never really was an issue, he’s always been rather smart, and he kept to himself 97% of the time. On the like, 3 occasions he got a ‘bad’ score on something, they talked to him about it first, to see why. If it was just that he didn’t study enough, they’d make him study more the next time. 

He had a set of chores he had to do every week before he could even think about going anywhere, and he was expected to do anything else if asked, unless it would interfere with schoolwork. School always took priority. 

11. How do they see themselves: as smart, as intelligent, uneducated?

He thinks he’s very intelligent. And he’s not wrong! He used to think he was a lot smarter before TTYD, but uh, that kinda changed him. He still think he’s smart, though. 

40. How is their sense of humor? Do they have one? 

Already answered something very similar to this here!

But yeah, Grodus does not laugh much.
