My headcanons fallowing jimmy’s last episode
The entire time jimmy has been 15 and hit puberty very late just at the end that is why he jumped at the chance to have a mentor
also explains his rivalry with Joel in Greek myths gods are rather immature something about having enough power to do what ever you want with no consequences makes gods act like hormonal teens
I think this jimmy is evo Jimmy
Jimmy was a 14 year old freshman and grian was 19 a senior that was held back a year
It has been a year since evo ended so grian is 20 and Jimmy is 15 which makes his later bullying of Jimmy hilarious because he’s a young adult picking on a teenager
He is the old sheriffs son I know the time is off because the old sheriffs said he was down there for thirty years but the only reason he knew that that was because he added 10 years for each chicken that died but chickens live 5-10 years so what if all the three chickens only lived 5 years each that would put him in there for 15 years
Just after his youngest son was born
I think the sheriff might have suspected it due to his repeated statements that Jimmy is tiny and has wings like a fairy because jimmy’s mom is a fae
The sheriff and jimmy’s mom met in the town because that area was always a hotspot for fae activity
The reason the sheriff didn’t leave his wife even though he didn’t want to be married is because she was a fae and was scared he would be cursed if he angered her and that is also why he started drinking
Monster high au grian
In my monster high au I have 2 ideas for Grian
He can be a ghost that can turn invisible so he can spy on people with out them knowing and prank them like the time he was invisible and messed with mumbo
or he’s a genie that gets a kick out of twisting people’s wishes not in a dangerous cruel malicious way but in a prankster malicious compliance way also being trapped in a tiny lamp unable to interact with others is the aus equivalent to his time as a watcher
Badboys soul eater au
Joel is a small short range hunting knife. a brutal close quarters weapon that always results in The users hands getting bloodied but etho wields him like a ninja would a throwing knife because he looks like kakashi who is a ninja. somehow this actually works out for them
Jimmy is a chain whip with a lantern that has a flame in it that loudly explodes everything it touches as a result every person that has ever partnered with him has run for the hills the moment they realized how dangerous it is to control and others that already know dread having to work with such a destructive weapon. even his friends don’t want the potential catastrophe that could result except for tango who loves explosions and thinks the chains give him a fabulous aesthetic
Grian is a bow and arrow not just the bow but also the arrows if scar shoots an arrow as far as he can then grian will be able to tell him where it landed and what is happening in the area. The bow materializes a new arrow when ever an arrow has been shot so scar can shoot multiple arrows that land in many different locations but Grian can’t be everywhere at once so he can only choose to be present at one location so when ever he transfers his consciousness to a single arrow he has to leave scar unattended as you can imagine he doesn’t like doing this
My Headcanons for watcher lore
So there are watchers listeners and speakers and the three have the same power level so the watchers are not stronger than the others they have the same abilities the difference is how they respond and how they apply their power
Watchers abuse their powers for selfish purposes they will not restrain themselves and because they don’t feel the need to care about consequences they show their ludicrous strength more freely and do to that are seen as more powerful by everyone that knows about them
Listeners try to do something to stop the games and free the players that is what they use their powers for but they tread carefully they will be hesitant to do something to drastic they wait and listen for the right moment to act unlike the other two they put effort into being Subtle
Speakers are what happens when a listener gets to invested and it becomes personal they lose patience and they get desperate they can’t hold their tongues anymore so instead of listening to reason they get reckless
The watchers are apathetic and selfish only caring about their own entertainment and survival not giving a thought to the players wellbeing unless it messes with them
The listeners are realist and sympathetic when they saw the suffering they wanted to help but they don’t let it get to personal they help because it’s the right thing to do
The speakers are emotional and empathetic they are listeners that grew attached to the players they feel responsible for and when the players they love are hurt one to many times they lash out throwing caution out the window which is why there’s so few
They aren’t different creatures they are the same just at different stages of processing the fact that they are no longer human and have god like power
Power corrupts and combined with peer pressure from already existing watchers it’s no wonder the watchers have larger numbers
The color changes based on their temperament
The watchers are purple
The listeners are green
The speakers are orange
There’s not an immediate chance in color it works like a mood ring
Take Grian he is more watcher than listener and speaker but because he has attachments and empathy and only keeps his watcher title because he uses his powers for entertaining pranks his color is magenta just leaning a tad bit more purple though he is steadily been moving towards red (his two colors that he is associated with are red and purple)
On one of the many misadventure the bad boys had while they were traveling jimmy was taken by a cyclops. Joel wanted to run in and send the cyclops back to Tartarus on the spot but grian didn’t feel like dying that day and thought that it would be a better idea for him to distract the cyclops. so it was decided when the cyclops was busy with grian joel could sneak past and grab jimmy so they could all leave without being maimed.
And So it began grian put on a dress and for the rest of the rescue mission told Joel to only refer to him as Ariana Griande (he didn’t need to do this)
The two separated joel snuck towards jimmy while Ariana Griande taunted the cyclops into following him somewhere else but unfortunately Ariana Griande ran into a wall literally
Fortunately there happened to be a hunter of Artemis nearby named Pearl. She helped the demigod by killing the cyclops that had cornered him. after the bad boys regrouped and things calmed down they got to talking she was a bit behind the times and didn’t get the reference so she tried to recruit Ariana Griande but when she found out the truth she backed off
they left on good terms and it was during this enlightening conversation that the bad boys found out why they were being hunted by monsters nobody else could see and that they were demigods
please tell me more of your bad boys demigod au ???? its so good :D
maybe how they first met or smth???
I have not worked out how they met but I have thought of the ages they were when it happened
Jimmy and joel met first like in cannon they were the first bad boys
Irl Jimmy is 26 Joel is 29 and grian is also 29 in the au they are aged down but have the same age gap
Jimmy was 7 and joel was 10 and both of them had recently ran away when they ran into each other and decided to stick together
Grian joined them a year later when he and joel were 11 and jimmy was 8
Grian actually ran away at 9 years old and didn’t start traveling with them until he was 11 which means he was on his own for 2 years before joining the bad boys and as a result knows what he’s doing more than the other two
Bad boys pjo au
Jimmy is a child of poseidon and Lizzie is a child of Neptune because seablings. they have the same mortal mother like Jason and Thalia. they were separated at a young age similar to s1 empires canon but lizzie still remembers Jimmy while jimmy does not remember Lizzie because he was so young when they were split. There mom was good she loved them but they never new her because she got sick and died not long after jimmy was born. Lizzie felt responsible for her brother and when she got older she became aware of the monsters. She pieced together a theory she thought that the monsters were targeting her and while that was true she didn’t realize that they were after jimmy as well and she left to protect him
Grian is a very mischievous child of Hermes. when his dad left his mom she broke down and became depressed these feelings led her to join a sketchy cult. grian was raised in this very restrictive environment but at a young age he knew he wanted get out and travel. as a child of Hermes he couldn’t stand to be stuck in one place for so long. like many Hermes kids he was a prankster and he got into a whole lot of trouble when ever he’d put his devious plans in place. He doesn’t hate his mom or dad but he tries not too think of them and tries to pretend they don’t exist. He ran away when he was super young and has never looked back
Joel is a son of Demeter his father was a farmer until he happened across a whole lot of money and he moved them to the city. his father spoiled him with their new found wealth making it so joel grew to have a very expensive taste but Joel still missed the plants and nature so he started painting beautiful landscapes. like his father joel has a tendency to let power go to his head. Eventually the money ran out and they became homeless. Joel’s father kept spending money they didn’t have sending them into debt and joel grew to resent his dad. Like his mother joel has very extreme emotional reactions and when he or someone he likes is wronged he takes revenge. weather it’s pranks or competitions joel doesn’t do things in half’s
like Thalia Luke and Annabeth they ran away young and found each other before making it to camp
Like the flock in cannon they named them selves
grian called himself pesky because that’s what the scientists called him do to him being the most difficult to control
Pearl was fade or shadow or something if anyone has a suggestion for it please share anyway it didn’t last long before she decided to change it to pearl but the reason for her original name was because when ever the scientists would talk about her power they would mention how she would blend into the background
Jimmy was canary because they didn’t have anything to really say about his personality and power because he was like 5 or something he didn’t have fleshed out a personality yet and even though he was the youngest which did cause him to be difficult he wasn’t as difficult as grian and he also didn’t have powers yet so the others called him by the bird the scientist said when they talked about his wings
martyn was similar there wasn’t anything that stood out other then what bird he was so his family called him wood because he has the wings of a wood pecker
after they escaped they chose new names that would allow them to blend in for and help keep the scientists from finding them
pearls the only one that kept her name it was passable as a name a normal girl would have at birth the reason she’s named pearl was because one of her only happy memories that didn’t involve her siblings in the lab was when she asked this janitor lady about some jewelry she was wearing and the lady told her about where she got it she probably got it as a gift and it wasn’t even a real pearl but that janitor gave her proof that there was a world outside the lab filled with gift giving people like the janitor
In the maximum ride au The bird that grians wings are from is a parrot so his power is to mimic others words but only exact words and tones and speech habits
he could also mimic sounds which he uses more frequently because it is more useful and because the noise from a siren or bell doesn’t have emotions or different sounds that people can second guess
Maximum ride au
grian Jimmy Martyn and pearl are the flock they are escaped avian lab experiments the only blood siblings are grian and pearl

I’m the bad guy from wander over yonder
I love the bad boys and how they tell everyone that they’re bad boys but end up coming across as trying to hard and i already have ideas to start I’m imagining them as going over the top with the bad boy image they what so they dress in over the top edgy bad boy clothes
Joel street punk/rocker wearing a leather jacket with a lot of spikes and pockets also cool sunglasses “given” to him by bdubs which bdubs got from gems sun cult also baggy pants that are just jimmys that he unnecessarily knifed in front of him for fun saying it was for style
Inspiration Danny from grease and Sam from Danny phantom
Jimmy pastel goth/scene kid he dyed his hair neon blue because I saw a picture of him with blue hair and he asked Scott for the teal dye he wears fingerless gloves that he cut himself he’s very proud of that and skinny jeans which are just Joel’s but they don’t fit and on his fist are truly a absurd number of bracelets
Inspiration Neighthan Rot from monster high and avril lavigne
Grian he chose Victorian goth/steam punk but he didn’t feel like going out of his way so he got some suspenders and a ruffled shirt also stole scars top hat and some inventor goggles he swiped from a hermit because there is no shortage of mad scientist types on hermit craft and he called it a day
Inspiration Entrapta from she ra Ciel Phantomhive from black butler
Manifesting a resistance to form against the permit office forcing Grian to realize he’s become what he’s always hated
I felt like I couldn't call myself a Desertduo artist until I drew the Perching Pose everybody draws them in >>> went 110% overboard and made this lmao. I love drawing Grian as a monstrous abomination muahaha
(did i do this is one minute? What no shush.)
You cannot convince me that Grian wouldn’t wear this shirt

I DIDN’T REALIZE THAT I DIDN’T POST THIS
this is so fucking good. this. THIS IS P U R E GRIAN VIBES like. it’s just. it’s so, completely unhinged. this radiates Watcher Grian vibes. I just.
IMAGINE HIM USING IT AS A SLEEP SHIRT. AND ONE OF THE HERMITS COMING INTO HIS BASE AND HE JUST STUMBLES UP AND HE’S JUST THERE. IN THAT SHIRT.
[ID: two images both contain loosely rendered hands on a grey background. Image 1: Grian and Scars hands. Grians hand is drawn as if reaching out in anguish, while scar has a thumbs up. They both have a green string tied in a bowline knot. Text reads “Grian and Scar: bowline knot. Relatively secure under tension but tends to slip and come undone when not baring a load. Cannot be tied or untied under tension.” — Image 2: ren and BigB. Their hands are drawn as if about to high five, and ren’s hand is more like a big paw. Both have a green string tied in a basic overhand knot. Text reads “ren and bigb: overhand knot but like, really tight. Incredibly simple, but effective. Just the most basic knot out there”. End ID]
thoughts on soulmates, knot typing metaphors, and design. and also like, some hands i guess.
Here’s the original post explaining the concept
“scar, i think we’re soulmates & you’re too busy chasing fairies!”

hello trafficblr i have an Offering
shakes like a rabid dog, i can't stop drawing them
Grian swoops down from a tree, two squirrels in his talons (not much by way of food but they aren’t eating Scar’s stupid pandas so it will have to do for now), and hits the ground next to Scar with a thud. He looks up. Scar’s eyes are wide.
“You’ve seen me hunt before,” Grian says, shaking out his bloodied talons with a chime.
“You still have it,” Scar says.
“What?” Grian says.
“Around your ankle,” Scar says.
“…it’s not like I can take it off,” Grian says, as though he doesn’t have hands with which he could unlace the leather. But it feels—wrong. He’d never removed them. The bells being a warning for those he approached unexpectedly was a bonus, anyway, and it’s not like many people knew enough about falconry, Scar, or the strange hazy place they’d both gotten to in the desert where Grian’s head had blurred further into predator than usual to understand what it meant. In the Southlands, in fact, he’d been mostly teased for it, though Mumbo had given him considering looks the whole time.
“Huh,” Scar says.
“Honestly, did you not notice?”
“I followed the sound,” Scar says, “when I heard it. But even if it stopped me from losing track you, it’s not like it can make a falcon come back if you can’t give it a reason to or catch it,” Scar says, a little bitterly. “I just thought you’d get… I don’t know. You still have it.”
“I still have it,” Grian says. “I—”
“Don’t say sorry for things you aren’t.”
“You’re right,” Grian says.
“I’d forgotten how sharp your eyes are sometimes. Hunting.”
Grian looks at Scar for a long while and almost says he’d forgotten how it felt to have a home he was meant to be returning to after. He doesn’t. He huffs. “You’ll see it more. This isn’t enough food yet.”
“Hunt away,” Scar murmurs.
Grian he opens his wings again to soar into the trees. He hears the bells chiming, and it sounds like a red string, for whatever that means. He can feel Scar watch him as he goes.
“No going after any Jellies!” Scar shouts, and Grian rolls his eyes. He won’t. He wouldn’t. The bells are loud in his ears. He wouldn’t.
Creeper Scar is back and stronger than ever!! >:D 💥
@theminecraftbee hey dude, so i read this little thing of yours and i got SO Plagued By Images i did this :D
People were asking for a proper highlight during Cleo's stream so, here you go. Scare and Grian be absolute "dicks" to Cleo.
Hello, I'm sick and came to you with a weird concept. Let It Go but with Grian after his demise
