Here are all the moments before Chapter 3 where Jack's eyes have turned green - each in different situations because I wanted to show there's more than just one catalyst for him to go Slayer.
IN ORDER, it's happened when he has been...
Hella Mad
Hella Injured
Hella Dead
and Hella scared
Of course, there are other triggers for him to go Slayer, they all just haven't happened in comic yet.
So keep an eye out for Jack's eyes whenever shit hits the fan!
It's important to remember the Sun and Moon and Grimfather care about the mortals (and immortals) on Lore and in Beanstalked and turning that care off is a struggle for them to do.
They are gods (and one questionable being) that love to watch what everyone is up to as well as figuring out weird little ways to step in without being known as they help the less fortunate.
Luna is the most blunt with just blatantly steeping in like with Jack and giving him magic beans but the Sun and Grimfather tend to be more subtle.
Of course there is a bias against the cold hearted and cruel but they tell themselves they can't smite them down.
They may lead some person they know who can cut said person down to size in their direction though.
They want life on the planet they made together to be happy unlike Earth and break what rules we may expect for gods to maintain that joy.
I mainly wrote them that way because I have no interest anymore really in writing another story about another pantheon of gods who look down upon mortals. It's cool if others enjoy it since there is some fun to be had but I prefer the perspective of godly beings viewing their creations, not as play things, but as their responsibilities.
Little lives that, while short, are simply trying their best in a world that has become a little darker and a little more dangerous.
On some level, they view them as inspiring. To be, in their eyes, a mere moment in their endless time, but to leave an impact that lasts forever.
The power to face nearly impossible obstacles and still make it out at the end.
The Sun and Moon are the gods of Lore that care about the world they salvaged from Earth.
Luna loves to walk amongst them and experience their lives up close in the guise of one. Witnessing how they've changed the world given to them to be more inhabitable or convenient.
Sol loves to be the one who wakes everything up and watch how everyone spends their days as he helps things grow while bringing light to the dark and safety to those scared of it.
Grimfather cares about every soul that he meets, both living and dead and those in between. He hates when people fear death, knowing that the living teach it to be cold and terrible when he knows the truth.
He also cares about the souls that manage to avoid it. Those that come close but make it by the skin of their teeth. If you cheat death well enough, you might even impress him.
I just care a lot about gods actually CARING.

Me: *dead*
Rocky: Beanstalked and Glitter and Guilt got updated!
Me: I WILL LIVE
This is the most specific ass meme I've ever made and it only makes sense if you've been keeping up with Beanstalked
Funny unhinged and early things that have happened in my webcomics SO FAR:
🌱Jack having his first death
💖 Sweetheart pulling a gun on someone (the monster of the week specifically)
Grimfather has officially showed up in Beanstalked so I can finally share this drawing of him.
He is basically the grim reaper of Lore (Earth has a different reaper). He wears the skull of the first creature to die on Lore, which is a dragon.
I've had someone ask if Grimfather was married to a god of life...
But the answer is no. Grimfather isn't married. And Lore's pantheon of deities, while it has the potential to grow because I mean...I'm developing these stories as I go so anything could happen, really only has Luna and Sol. Some add Grimfather to the list, some don't. I just put him as a sort of "Otherworldly being" categorey.
Grimfather also isn't really...OUR Grim Reaper. So he doesn't abide by the same exact rules we'd expect of him.
For each world I have, there is a grim reaper and Grimfather is Lore's. That's because Lore was literally created by Luna and Sol and, the second someone died on that specific world, death immediately showed up. Earth has it's own reaper, who I have to redesign, but he also isn't married to a god of life.
The closest to a "God of Life" I have in my story verse right now is Mother Nature, for Earth specifically, and Luna and Sol for Lore.
And Mother Nature is just kinda vibing at her own beat while Luna and Sol are married themselves.
Grimfather is basically the single dad who refers to all Lore residents as his children because the only people who are in the same generation as him, which are Luna and Sol. And even then, he doesn't know for certain if he is older or the same age.
Grimfather knows a lot about his role in the universe but not much about himself, kinda like a grandpa who recalls memories of the good times but can't recall specific stuff about himself.
