Tw Trauma Mention - Blog Posts

Dream does not need to be or act traumatised by his experience in prison in order for it to be wrong.

Grima Propaganda! (Because I deeply appreciate this messed up villain)

The Fell Dragon Grima, the dark deity bent on eradicating humanity, the bringer of the zombie apocalypse, and a lot of fans’ blorbo.

When you first meet them in Fire Emblem Awakening, they’re the Big Bad villain with little actual characterization, but that didn’t stop the fandom from loving them, and they got more lore and characterization in DLC and other games in the franchise. There is soo much Murder Dragon Romanticization in the fandom and it seems to be running on sheer swag and charisma. It’s also true that canon is enough of a mess that you could make the case they’re much less evil than it seems… or maybe that’s the fandom talking. There are Tumblr folk who celebrate “Grimas” every year. Grima should absolutely be a Tumblr Sexyman: he’s the villain certain people love, dark and mysterious and eldritch and full of issues and trauma. The fan fiction this character has spawned includes some of my favorite fanworks.

Their (unwilling?) vessel is none other than the amnesiac player character Robin, who was born into an evil cult for the purpose of bringing their dark god back to life. Robin and Grima are so interconnected that the death of one means the death of the other (a great source of angst, at least until Robin is revived by the power of friendship). A lot of people headcanon that Grima and Robin are actually the same entity, and the varying interpretations of Grima and Robin and how they’re connected are such fun.

Grima is also:

-an artificial being whose creator tried to kill them

-a dragon monstrosity with six eyes and six wings that’s so huge the final battle is held on top of their back

-referred to with mostly he/him but kinda inconsistent pronouns in game, probably some genderfuckery here

-I headcanon Grima is Above Gender

-parent to a Very Traumatized child (or several)

-a GIGANTIC effing DRAGON with six eyes and six wings

-I keep wanting to add more but I can’t let my brain be consumed any further

Some lighter, more positive System stuff, if you saw our last post. We would love to get more support for this cool mystery System!

My Headmate and I made fanart/propaganda for Contestant 44, the System with white hair and trauma! Above is a little sketch of their body/default look.

Then we drew how some of their headmates might dress- the first two are based on our System!

Vote for 44, they have so much potential!!
