Assorted Gnarly and Grim headcanons based on Me and Mel's ponytown rps
"Hell, I'd watch the world burn with him if its warmth makes him happy"
~ Gnarlie talking about Grim
- Grim and Gnarly met through Omegle with the topic about being dark comedy-
- Grim and Gnarly are the results of being undiagnosed mentally ill individuals living in a non-accomodating, hostile world, left to their own accord and the only positive engagement they received are from doomer types of people regurgitating nihilistic harmful takes, it's not even funny it's stomach-churning.
- Grim is just Pim but received 10x more backlash and humiliation by the world because he have more difficult personality traits. Pim does not seem to be suffering because he is good at masking. Reading about the client reviews of Smiling Friends online makes him bitter and made Pim his personal rival (derived from the line "Smiling Friends, we finally met at last"). Despite not knowing him personally, he is intent on showing his so called truth. (Grim to Pim is Trixie to Twilight Sparkle to me ARE Y'ALL SEEING THE VISION???)
- Gnarly is just Charlie but apathetic and the self-serving tendencies is heightened. Constantly observed disappointments whenever he tries to do something proactive. He associated trying equals to useless effort. The only time he does not regret stepping up to something is when he calls out and threathens to hurt the people that was beating up Grim.
- Grim dropped out of school at that one messiest day where the bullying and beatings he take is just taken too far. Gnarlie was there on time, from the fact they agreed they'll finally meet up physically that day.
- Gnarly is a facts hoarder, even way before Frowning Friends is established. He knows so many niche scientific and environmental facts, both the uplifting and disappointing ones.
- Grim wants to write his name into the history as someone like a revolutionary figure. But like, he doesnt see any other way than Frowning Friends because the only thing he thinks he is good at is disappointing and making people frown.
- Gnarly is a Reddit lurker and Grim is a 4Chan frequenter. Both are enjoyers of Newgrounds.
- Gnarly is unabashedly romantic and literate whenever he have the opportunity to to Grim. Inversely that, his insults are really well thought out and directly targeted against other people whenever he claps back.
- Grim is so lacking at verbal affirmations outside of Gnarlie. From that he assumes he's never going to amount to anything that of worth and the pain of that (terribly false) association makes him want other people to not experience the hurt and so pioneers Frowning Friends under the guise of telling the truth, when what is it really is unnecessary negativity that propagates the echo chamber of stagnation. That's not any better.
- Watch him crumble actually when he received the barest minimum of compliment from Mr. Boss. That moment does not just show Mr. M's skill of being a great Smiling Friend worker, it is a signifier that Grim is just a misdirected soul who does need positive reinforcement and better circle of mindset to surround himself with.
- Grim will have his dick guillotined online if he ever admits he actually hates being negative and edgy and actually seeks for something wholesome (hehe Create Unknown podcast with Michael and Zach reference)
- On that same vein of thought, Grim could not for the life of him stomach liveleak videos. It's only Gnarly who like watches it (mostly through the r/50-50 he does not actively seeks it). Grim is even queasy from any audios similar to it that's why Gnarlie only does his browsing when he's on his own.
- Gnarly and Grim only found solace and solidarity through each other the way the two exchanges vents and affirmations nightly. They have attempted to connect with any other people only to receive ineffective, unhelpful responses that does not reciprocate any weight. They are heavily flawed individuals that can see each other's scars with no judgements.
