This ship seems popular so out of curiosity, opinions on Grimm x Hollow?
Oh boy oh lord and here's where I am a disappointment and or fandom party pooper xD
I don't ship them for various reasons. Let me preface this by saying I have nothing against the ship and I can absolutely see why a decent amount of people ship it for the opposing elements, aesthetics, and etc, but it's definitely not to my personal tastes at all.
This is one of the more common canon x canon ships I don't like (along with Pale King x Grimm and Hornet x Grimm) and reasons include but are not limited to the fact I hc Grimm as being the Radiance's Sibling, whom the likelihood of any of the Pale King's offspring + him wanting anything romance related to do with another god trespassing on their territory, much less the direct relative of their most sworn enemy, is slim to none. If anything they'd likely feel threatened by having another higher being show up in the remnants of their home and feeding on the nightmares of their remaining peoples
In addition I think adult Grimm from in game is...an ANCIENT god. Many many years old beyond the pale siblings and I don't really care about the age gap much as both characters are clearly grown adults and ascended gods in their own right but Grimm has a rebirth cycle that pretty much resets him to larval stage physically at the time of the ritual completion. I know some people view Grimmchild, Grimm, and the heart as separate entities and that's fine, but canonly it's said that Grimmchild, Grimm (and possibly NKG/Nightmare heart) are all one and the same. So the whole life cycle/age thing here gets really weird when you go by canon rules for it and take Grimmchild's ascension into the master role into account. I feel like his older current mortal form, which we burn in the ritual, is more of father/grandfather age physically when compared to Hollow, but again that's my personal interpretation and we have no reference for that. Most of this is also why I dislike Hornet x Grimm and avoid it
I do however ADORE when he's portrayed as developing a friendship with the siblings (abit very warily on Hornet's part and sheer terror at first on Hollow's) and or a more fatherly interpretation where he's a voice of reason as a much older higher being with a lot of years of experience and guidance to offer. I imagine this too would likely take a LOT of time to develop especially due to his heritage and status as a foreign higher being, not to mention he uhhh dies when the ritual is completed so
Yes Im boring I'm sorry xD
