I’ve reread Se Bruler once again for the eighth time maybe, and I just want to take a moment to appreciate the writer. I remember back when there was only three chapters and I’ve loved it since. What pushed you to write for Mr Grillbae?
Aw thank you so much! That’s very kind of you ❤ I was obsessed with Undertale back in those days; I watched every playthrough, listened to the music on repeat, and read so many fanfics it probably ruined my sleeping schedule for a long, long time 😅.
Grillby was a character that was very open for interpretation, and from the very first playthrough I watched he already struck me like a quiet, kind gentleman that would treat people right - but also as someone who barely opens up to others. As a bartender he would no doubt have to listen to other people’s stories and I figured he would just want to be there to listen and offer his quiet support without joining in himself. That sounded like a perfect way to start a romance! Someone who he slowly opens up to, who he can actually talk to and who listens to him instead of the other way around. So that’s where I started brainstorming for a fanfic!
I just love those personalities: caring, sweet, a good listener, and also a bit closed off and shy.
Thank you for the lovely ask, @sweetasvinegar, and I’m sorry for how long it took to respond. I hope you have a lovely day!! Please feel free to ask anything else, I enjoy talking about these kinds of things 😁
