5, 9, 20 And 25 For Grimmer And (Umataro) Tenma! ^_^

5, 9, 20 and 25 for Grimmer and (Umataro) Tenma! ^_^

(I love the need to specify the Tenma that comes with liking Monster and Astro Boy KJSJKSJK)

Grimmer:

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Hmmm I had to think a bit since I didn't have any song associated to him already - but I think Lysergide Daydream by Will Wood REALLY fits him!

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

Oh he seems like a lovely roomate! I'm very talkative and I like to hears other talk as well so I think we could get along!

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

I think I'll go with Tenma here. They seem like they would be very comfortable around each other, with Grimmer filling the silence and Tenma hearing him talk, and Tenma having the sensibility necessary to help Grimmer better understand his emotions. I do ship those men and I think they'd grow a strong friendship before start dating!

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Started Monster hyped to see him because of you. When he showed up, I was like 🥺🥺🥺🥺 this for the whole episode, seeing him being so kind and gentle and nice. Now... oh I still think he's so kind and gentle and nice, even moreso because of how that kindness had to grow from rocks and dried land. He's SUCH and interesting character, my favorite character in Monster, and I want only the best for him.

(Umataro) Tenma:

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Bro tbh I think all of Will Wood's discography fits him perfectly 💀 but the first that comes to mind is Against the Kitchen Floor, especially in a post-2003 sense Bonus: Science Ashbury Heights and you're to blame. That song fits him PERFECTLY. Bonus bonus: Phantasmagoria Ashbury Heights, I think it resonates a lot with his phase of grieving for Tobio and regretting creating Astro

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

I believe we would murder each other. And I will refrain from any comments that might suggest I'm extremely attracted to this man

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

This would be easier to answer if that wreck of a man didn't hate everyone but hmm. I think he could have a really strong relationship to Shadow, since Shadow quite literally knows him from the inside out. He has nothing to hide, so he can just be honest and open to him. And since he's changing for the better, I think Shadow would be willing to listen. I can see them making projects together and studying the heart of humans and robots, sharing their perspectives as such. And maybe Shadow could open up to him too as he developed his own sense of self but Tenma is still his blueprint. ...Wow, now I want to write about these two. Anyway, I think Tenma's closest friend since forever was always Ochan but since they're also dating I wanted to answer with someone else.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Now that's a funny one, bc I spent 49 episodes of 2003 strictly thinking "oh he's a great antagonist, I can definitely see him having some sort of redemption but I don't think he'll ever go back to Astro and Ochan's life." Then episode 50 happenned and boom. Now I want him to have a 200k words redemption arc actually. Everyone needs to be a happy family. Like I FELT the clown makeup materializing in my face but what can I do man. That hug destroyed me

.

Atom the Beginning redraw thingie bc I'm not entirely sure how to feel abt this anime's existence yet BUT. I do love Ochan and Tenma interacting 😭😭😭😭

I want them to be HAPPY I want ONLY good things for them

Here's Atlas for an AU I'm cooking up! (feat Astro for height ref and bc he's precious.) Atlas is 14 and Astro is 12 in here.

Still thinking about his story but I wanted to mix the 80's and 03 versions. He's almost as advanced as Astro, but doesn't look perfectly human.

And Atlas has an Earth on his back because he's!!! Atlas!!! Carrying the world on his back!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh. So I’ve been loving your astro boy and monster art so much… and I was randomly going through some old liked youtube videos tonight. And I stumbled on a professor layton AU animatic that I loved when it was uploaded like 3 years ago… and I realized the uploader was you! I just thought that was an awesome coincidence and I wanted to compliment your work! ❤️

aaaaaaa thank you!!!!! That animatic was probably my biggest visual arts project to this day and it makes me happy that people still appear here to talk about it sometimes! thanks for the ask my friend :,D

…It would be a while before he could fully re-introduce himself to the world that was being built around him. A world built by Ochanomizu and Atom. However loudly the robot-fearing minority might bark, they couldn't hold a candle to the bright future those two promised.

-> Fanart for @good-wine-and-cheese 's AMAZING fic, The Indomitable Human Soul! I love this paragraph and how it captures Tenma's silent admiration for Ochanomizu and Astro!
