Grim And Gnarly - Tumblr Posts
They Lived, Bitch ⚡️
A little doodle of Grim and Gnarly from my Mask AU where they’re brought back to life with the miracle of SCIENCE, and are still total assholes.
expressed this sentiment before but I like when there’s 2 bad guys and they’re shaped like this
for examples
AQUATIC SMILING AND FROWNING FRIENDS
It's Pimxolotl and Sharklie and Swordfish Gnarlie and Piranha-anglerfish Grim and ah
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.
*Laugh track ensues. Roll credits* 😁👏😁👏
this is how frowning friends ended to me
Not sure if I would change anything about it.
smiling friends alignment chart
this is totally accurate
Animal friends!! 😁
mixing 2 interests together goes so hard
The left photo initially drew Pim and Charlie way smaller and then my work friend drew Grim and Gnarly that same weekend. Then this week I redrew Pim and Charlie (I feel like I don't draw Pim enough). Bonus drawing: Charlie with disembodied hands for some reason, finally eating the Salty deluxe burger he wanted to lol.
Nice. Would have also called them Gromit and Skippy.
day 7
posters alone
fun fact - these are (technically?) their canon full names. the voice actors for the German dub of SF are credited under these names. no idea if this was something cut from the original and accidentally added or something the German creditors just made up for fun.
Alright. Is this true? Because I don't even think the helium thing was true. I thought that helium is a renewable source wasn't it?
Yooooooo wut?? I was thinking how James kinda looked like Desmond 🤔
I’m expanding on this because it’s funny
I can see myself being Gnarly, showing ((important videos)) to my friends at 3am. Sometimes you need to see a dancing bean.
important video.
Edited from my threads post (not extremely serious but feel free to read): You know when Zach Hadel says "cry about it"? Well actually, I wish I fucking could my dude. Lithium is one hell of a drug. And I wish for a great cry.
Edit for Tumblr:

And for that matter... Can we talk about how many of us liking smiling friends are or were sjws to an extent? Like I know I even get some fatigue with that. Like yeah, not everyone who's female is a woman, not everyone who's male is a man, yeah. Nonbinary people exist. But I don't actually have many comment on whether or not Smiling Friends is a problematic show. Sure, they do a lot of tongue in cheek humor that just rubs me the wrong way sometimes. Especially season 1. I don't think adult swim is going to take it off the air anytime soon. The point of great humor is not for shock value alone, it has got to make sense. Like enchanted forest episode for example. The sexual/romantic tension between Mip and Charlie is real for sure. Don't get me wrong, Mip was a terrible being. But was it because he's gay, or just being a stalker creepazoid? I'd like to think the later. Being a creep. But I know that they said in the dvd commentary that Charlie loves Pim, because he saw Pim in Mip? Okay? But then, why not just have Charlie being with Pim? Unless that's a later plot point in season 3 or even onward. But let's talk about that scene again. Even if Mip and Charlie are flirting seriously, this can also be seen as funny at the same time too. I'm not sure what it is about it? Maybe the settup leading up to it? Hard to say. But maybe because this scene is supposed to be serious... And just IS funny BECAUSE it is serious... Idk maybe that's just part of the charm in these jokes.
Another thing is Frowning Friends. I love their dynamic so much. They proudly declare their love to each other. And this could be seen as platonic too, but I may think otherwise. Then at the end, Grim declares how he wants to "eradicate all Puerto Ricans from the planet"... Woah. Ffs like it did get me a small chuckle but like WTF. Dude, even after processing that, Mr Boss tries to kill Grim and he strongly expressed how he doesn't want to die. This causes confusion among the audience and then Mr Boss tells Grim how he made him jealous. Grim and Gnarly smile and start dancing. And then the kicker. They get shot with arrows by the Renaissance men, Mr Boss unharmed. Now, I don't know if I must reiterate my point again but ... Were they killed because they could possibly be gay? Or we're they killed because they were obviously Nazis and terrible people?? Am I just supposed to pretend like I'm not seeing a pattern here? Gay and awful people deserve death, yes. But just being gay isn't an issue. I feel like this just put smoke into my head but into a good sort of way somehow. Idk i don't think I'll do posts like this all the time but feel free to reblog or comment anything you feel needs to be added. Idk what I'll tag this as yet lol.
Yea. I speak for the bugs. I think Mr Boss would be a spider tho? Idk, I know spider's NOT bugs lol.
ok so hear me out on this
My goodness. It's perfect.
