tiny tiny ramble about the fake grumps under the cuuuuuuut
the grumps in my gta au are complete pacifists. its like. look to your right, you have fake ah wrecking everything because THEY CAN, and on the left you have fakehaus causing problems because their heist got a bit out of control. both cause millions of dollars in damages, both cause causalities and injuries and theres always at least ten ambulances on scene for both.
then, theres the grumps. arin hanson is no murderous criminal. hes not destructive. his crew is efficient and successful, without even using real guns. they all carry bb guns and water pistols painted to look real, and they dont even rush in threatening people. they get what they want on their own with smiles and pleasant conversation and being nice. they broken someones leg once on accident and barry sent them an apology card with a plate of homemade snickerdoodles. everyone knows them by name but doesnt spit it with venom like kovic or ramsey. theyre the grumps, the ones that rob banks and pocket maybe 1% of what they get and donate the rest of charities and animal shelters. the ones who are at the top of the crime ladder, and have 0 deaths to their names, their hands are clean of blood.
no one knows how they do it. no one wants to test them, either. because who knows if their smiles and laughter are masks for the sinister side inside of them. who knows what happens if someone crosses them and something goes wrong.
they have an aura of fear around them, because no one wants to find out what happens when you say no.
