(my brother just got to the grave sand episode and I remembered I had never gotten around to posting these!)
@bifacialler and @meganiac had some posts about grave sand physically affecting the changelings - and there is definitely concept art of Nomura with 4 arms to pull from - so I’m jumping on that idea.
AU where grave sand isn’t dropped after a single episode and comes back for the final battle. It makes them bigger, stronger, and generally more like the trolls they would have been if the hadn’t been corrupted. For this AU Strickler only gets his wings in this form(which is kind of a better limitation than just ‘he didn’t feel like using them until like the third to last episode?)
Called my pawpaw a lazy sack of shit for not bearing fruit this year.
So this year my pawpaw did bear fruit- one tiny little fruit that I watched grow partway, then promptly rot and fall off the branch without ever coming near ripening.
First time in my life I’ve ever been flipped off by a tree.
