#ffo!grabber

So, first off, his victims. He skipped Robin. Instead of Robin, he got Finney. He kidnapped and killed all the other boys, though. So it was (leaving the camp kids out of this): Griffin, Vance, Billy, Bruce, Finney.

Why has he kept Finney? Glad you asked!

He's trying to start a harem of teenage boys, duh. Finney's the first of many!!1!1!1!

(For obvious reasons this is a joke.)

He kept Finney because.. well, I don't really have a particular reason. I can tell you where that idea/situation came from with how i'm writing him, though!

This version of the Grabber decides to get the.. uh, in his words, first "heated" interaction out of the way before killing the victims. If he likes it? Apparently you get kept and join his harem!! that's what happened with finn. freaky,

(Again, a joke, blame @gr4bber. I meant, if he likes it, he keeps the victim.On the occasion.)

He kept Finney because he was cooperative (for reasons that are heavy spoilers). Mostly unwilling, but still cooperative.

Vance was a no-go because he fought.

Griffin was a no-go because he bit.

etc. etc. the list goes on. feel free to fill in the blanks.

We also need to talk about time. Before bringing Finney upstairs, he kept him in the basement for a few months. Keeping Finney was his first go at keeping any of the boys he took, so he was cautious. And maybe there was someone else upstairs, but we'll get to that. Down in the basement, he had a sort of routine. Go downstairs, have his temporary fill, then leave the boy there to do whatever he did in the basement.

His character! How he acts with people (mainly Finney). He likes to stay "on top" of the situation or problem. Something happens that's his fault? Goddamnit Finney, why're you such a fuck up? (I'm so sorry).

He is. for lack of better words. literally always turned the fuck on by person from his basement. It's why he mainly leaves Finn in almost nothing. It's rare that Finn's ever in something more than a shirt or maybe just something you'd wear under everything. Every time he's dressed, he's going out or seeing other people (such as "Basement Boy"). Back to Al's obsessed bullshit! Very in the mood for absolutely no reason. I hate it!! Finn moves his finger to tap something? Oh my god, I knew you were in a mood!

Thus he is very touchy. In a bad way, of course, the "relationship" is in no way properly consensual + Finney has what's probably Stockholm syndrome (don't quote me on that). Almost constantly, though, he's holding a hand, talking to Finn, asking for or giving kisses, etc. Finney stands up? Suddenly he's being felt the fuck up. It's gross and I think i feel sick .. anyway

oh also. when he gets mad—the way i write "mad" ffo grabber is he blames a lot of whatever made him mad on whoever's around or he just snaps at tiny things when irritated. So, like, the scene in uh.. ch.5. finney didn't really do anything horrible, he just didn't answer and walked away, and he blew up. He also tends to, like, be dramatic when mad. Exaggerating things. "You always manage to fuck up, huh?!"

"Faith and religion hadn't brought her much so far, but she could hope it would if she kept trying."

"But, even so, he tried to stay gentle. He wanted to be a better dad, after all."

"That it meant he was loved, adored, cherished. The best thing to happen to anyone, and the best thing to stay with a specific someone."

"And, as usual, he, of course, voiced this discomfort—one of the few he knew he could voice."

"He didn't have to respond—he knew what would probably happen, even if he did decide to say no. The disgusting man who kidnapped him would do whatever he wanted anyway. He always did. It wouldn't be different now, so what was the point?"

"The boy, meanwhile, suddenly lost his chipper attitude and his chattiness and went over to the man, grabbing a hold of his hand and arm in a way that didn't seem too father-son, more uncomfortably intimate to him, at least, as the man shook a can."

"If it was, he was ruined, tainted. He was a mess—and not a good mess. And he needed to be fixed, put back in his place."

"With his friend's hand still on his cheek, he leaned in to do what was asked, but didn't get too far. These moments never got to be truly comforting or normal."

"Unlike most mornings, Albert Shaw was brought back into the world of the conscious and awake with no teenage boy half-dressed, or entirely undressed, sleeping in bed beside him, under the warm sheets. Instead, the bed was cold, empty on the other side, much unlike the usual morning where it was warm with his favorite boy, who would usually be exhausted from their previous fun."

"All of a sudden, his head was fuzzy. Full of cotton, it felt, as he took a weak step forward. His legs protested at the attempt, and he swayed after the small step before he tipped forward."

"There was a silence that filled the room. An uncomfortable silence, one that was awkward and made him want to let the tears fall, or maybe run. Instead, though, he just frantically shook his head, taking a few steps back. He didn't know how he felt right now, apart from terrified. He didn't know how he felt about this boy, either. Maybe he hated him."

"Stuck with a man whose name he never learned despite learning the man’s body, it's most all he remembers, save for bits and pieces."

"His “couple days” quickly turned into a few. Which then turned into ten. Then that turned into a month. Then, that turned into a month and a half."

"He looked weirdly uncomfortable—the same sort of uncomfortable their dad would always look."

"“Maybe that's why you're so weird. Your own house freaks you out.”"

"But, no, he liked to think he was merciful; he wouldn't let him do that, oh, no."
