Grimm and Bafi

[grimmandbafi]

New intro post!

(hey guys! I've changed up the blog a bit because this blog was always kind of a yume shipping blog and a way to get used to interacting with people so yeah now I'm gonna fully embrace that side of it!)

so Hi! I'm a sharing yume-shipper with Grimm (from hollow knight) so if you're a nonsharing yume-shipper feel free to block me!

This blog is run by @sorendosethings (that's me!)

and my ship tag is #BafixGrimm

Base lore for there story and character!

Grimm is Grimm, immortal being, vessel for the nightmare heart, harvests fear from dieing kingdoms, you get it, he's living his life with Bafi and intends to do so for, well forever

Bafi is an archivist first and foremost, but he is also a god of secrets, among his collection is scrolls upon scrolls of secrets. If you're keeping something from somebody, Bafi knows it, but he has no interest in using this power for personal gain, he's got things to do!

At some point while waiting on Grimm, Bafi became infected/infused with lifeblood because of his intense yearning and sadness and now constantly cries lifeblood.

[grimmandbafi]

a last resort, a hail mary as it were. i pray this works

[grimmandbafi]

It's one of bafi's bad days. There getting more frequent now.

I'll be searching the library for a 3rd time....

Third times the charm.... right?

-Grimm

[grimmandbafi]

i look away for 2 seconds and one of you is suddenly cosplaying as a follower of nurgle

what the fuck happened here

I apologize for my previous outbursts. A lot has been going on for me...

I know not what the others have been doing, I've been......preoccupied..... with my partner, there very sick. And I've been taking care of them.

I just don't know what to do....

-Grimm

[grimmandbafi]

He says he doesn't want me to worry.....

How am I supposed to just sit and watch this happen to him...

[grimmandbafi]

(He's fine guys! Trust he's totally normal and cool! He could do a marathon right now!)

[grimmandbafi]

NOTHINGS, FUCKING WORKING!!

EVERY MEDICINE

EVERY REMEDY

EVER RITUAL

NOTHING!

AND HE'S GETTING WEAKER EVERY DAY!!

.....

I can do nothing but watch as he becomes frail...

He won't die....

But he'll wish he could....

[grimmandbafi]

Our business in hallownest is done, we’ll be departing in the morning.

Next stop: pharloom

[grimmandbafi]

You should flip a coin. If it’s heads, Bafi has to hug Grimm. If it’s tails, Grimm has to get hugged by Bafi. I wonder what the result will be!

He's a big hugger

[grimmandbafi]

My tears have not stopped flowing....

I know he is worried over this,

Hopefully it stops but it's been so long,

it's like an infection.

[grimmandbafi]

(ooc) (great day in my tomodachi life world!)

[grimmandbafi]

Here you are. You are the one that the other spoke of, and just like him, you are not a mere impersonator. I must admit, I am quite impressed. Your flame burns bright.

//OOC//

I love the way you draw Grimm. It makes my eyes feel loved. I gotta work on making him have more emotion in my drawings.

Ah, glade to see more have found there way to me, pleased to meet you.

-Grimm

(ooc) ( thank you!!! i really appreciate that!)

[actualmastergrimm]

Yes. Well met. I am curious of our differences. The other one of us had quite the surprise for me.

[grimmandbafi]

Yes, that one is quite out there. I can't say I have many surprises in me, though I guess I wouldn't know if I did haha.

-Grimm

[actualmastergrimm]

You are right. It is not as if any one of us is a standard. I do wonder, however, are you the heart, taking form in the waking world? Or are you holding it within you, serving it?

[grimmandbafi]

Very interesting question, I'm a vessel for the heart, born of it, and made as a container for it to be housed, I suppose that is the most coherent way of putting it. I suppose it would be different for you, I had not considered that before

-Grimm

[actualmastergrimm]

Hm. It is different. You see, I am no container. I am the contained. If you do not mind me asking, why does your heart create life to use as a vessel, rather than create a lifeless puppet for a body as I did?

[grimmandbafi]

Convenience, the heart can carry out what it needs to do in the nightmare realm and I can continue the work in the waking world, killing two birds, two heads are better than one etc. it simply made more sense to the heart.

-Grimm

[actualmastergrimm]

I see. That would certainly ease the amount of responsibilities you must tend to. My work never ends… But never mind that! I do so love talking about performing. Tell me about your shows.

[grimmandbafi]

Ah yes, preforming. Truth be told, I've had to put a pause on my shows more recently, I still plan them for my troupe, but I've not been in one for a little while. I have a plan to return to it soon with a grand entrance unlike anything they've ever seen, but some personal matters needed tending to, matters of a new troupe member, and got a little carried away. But anyway, i to am very curious about your shows as well.

-Grimm

[actualmastergrimm]

We perform many kinds: plays, music, theatrical magic, circus routines, to name a few. I do enjoy bringing down a volunteer from the audience for a stunt! If you find as much joy in performing as I do, I hope your return to the stage comes soon.

[grimmandbafi]

Thank you, I do hope so to, my grand return shall be a spectral, a dance to be specific.

I must ask, who do you keep for company? I'm quite curious in the differences.

-Grimm

[actualmastergrimm]

My kin, of course, but also those we recruit. I value my friendship with them very much. Most prefer I do not spout their names to others. They have been through a lot. Who wouldn’t mind… Hmm… Divine. She is quite the eccentric bug, but she knows what she cares about.

[grimmandbafi]

I'm very much the same, companionship is very important, and I do appreciate the simplicity of anonymity though my swain would not say the same.

-Grimm

(ooc) (sorry for the late reblog! ive had a busy day!)

[actualmastergrimm]

Your swain, hm? I envy you. I do not have time for relationships of that kind. You are a fortunate bug in that regard. Shall I meet them too?

//OOC//

Don’t worry about it! Life does life stuff and we get busy sometimes!

[grimmandbafi]

Well I see no reason to not introduce you, let me fetch him

*Grimm leaves the room and returns a few moments later with a tall lanky moth in a blue cloak*

this is Bafi

Hello, pleased to meet you! *Bafi reaches out his hand*

[actualmastergrimm]

“You as well, Bafi.” Grimm shakes Bafi’s hand. “I am Grimm. Of course, I am a quite different Grimm from your partner here.”

[grimmandbafi]

Yes I thought as much, he's told me of the others out there with his likeness. Such a fascinating thing might I say, I would study it if I could but its beyond anything I know of haha!

[actualmastergrimm]

“It is beyond all of us, I believe. Fortunately, I see no reason for conflict. But enough about that. Tell me about yourselves! Just at a glance, you two do seem truly right for each other.”

[grimmandbafi]

Ah! you're too kind! Well he and I have known each other a long time, we had communicated through letters for most of it!

Yes those years were particularly hard I will admit

would not recommend

[actualmastergrimm]

“Yes. Distance is another factor that discourages me from seeking a partner of my own, but perhaps…”

Grimm becomes lost in thought. There are many reasons he tells himself that he can’t have a partner, but seeing these two together reignites the long lost desire for one.

“…Perhaps it is time I set such factors aside.”

[grimmandbafi]

awh! I think you should go for it! It's hard at times, yes, but It's worth it to find someone who gets you.

I had my doubts about such relationships a long, long time ago as well, but there are many benefits as I've seen.

[actualmastergrimm]

Grimm gives a small bow in thanks.

“Thank you for your encouragement, my friends. I will keep my mind more open to it for now. I presume the two of you met during the troupe’s travels?”

[grimmandbafi]

Oh! Yes! We met in my old home kingdom, it had long been abandoned, but old abandoned things are my job, so I stuck around, until he came along, and I just couldn't resist his charm I guess.

I had been curious about him for a while at that point. The only bug in an abandoned kingdom, I just couldn't stop thinking about it...

[actualmastergrimm]

“Hm, there is usually multiple bugs remaining when my troupe arrives at a fallen kingdom. I cannot recall the last time there was exactly one.”

He turns to Bafi.

“You say that ‘old abandoned things’ is your job. What exactly does that mean?”

[grimmandbafi]

Well, I'm an archivist, I preserve things, and I had wanted to preserve that kingdom, but all things have a timer on them and its time was just about up by the time my Grimm got there.

[actualmastergrimm]

Grimm listens with intrigue.

“An archivist! Wonderful! It seems your occupation works very harmoniously with your troupe’s travel destinations.”

[grimmandbafi]

Yes it's very good for me! You know, When we first met Grimm thought I wouldn't want to leave with them! I couldn't believe it! Going to dieing kingdoms ripe for the picking! Who could imagine something better!

[actualmastergrimm]

“I could not bring myself to ask someone to join us, to leave their life behind to join mine. We only take in those who need us.”

Saying that reminds Grimm the work waiting for him. It fills him with uneasiness.

“Hm, I should return to them soon…”

[grimmandbafi]

Well we sure don’t wanna keep you!

No rest for the wicked as they say

Dont be a stranger! And good luck!

[grimmandbafi]

Here you are. You are the one that the other spoke of, and just like him, you are not a mere impersonator. I must admit, I am quite impressed. Your flame burns bright.
