Happy Fourth of July to Phillip Graves and ShadCo, painfully American as they are.
Graves is currently shifting into his final form: Grillmaster Graves. He has stars n stripes shorts, shirt, and flip flops, and brings out his white hat with a RWB hat band for the occasion.
He also has an apron on that says "My meat is always smoking hot."
The hat, the apron, the American flag flip-flops, the dumb flag shades. Like he's trying to put as many RWB trinkets on him. Of course under request from his Shadows, who happily donate these cringy accessories. Somehow, the man is still hot.
@youngbishopleshy I'm so glad you asked!!!!
Nik is living it up, he loves a party, he loves Graves' cooking, and he gets very good at cornhole very quickly. He also ends up decked out in RWB before the day is even half-gone, bc the Shadowlings (children of ShadCo members) find him endlessly entertaining and keep giving them to him. His only complaint is that it is Too Damn Hot in Texas.
Price is somewhere between hell and purgatory. He also loves Graves' cooking, but he's less immune to cringe than Nik. He sees Graves AND Nik getting covered in stars n stripes and is having a crisis of nationality bc HOW DO THEY LOOK GOOD IN THAT MESS??? (he's just too far gone, he doesn't realize) I imagine he's less keen on fireworks too. Maybe he can enjoy them once Nik finds earplugs or something for him. He also thinks it's Too Damn Hot in Texas.
Now all I can imagine is Graves, bless himself to death, only in his jeans, no shirt, covered in the glitters of his country, and two WHITE, SPARKLING stars right on his chest. Cowboy hat included, obviously.
An amazing image 😂 Also you get back here with these tags, they're glorious:
