i still cannot believe you of all people were the one who created grony

(With reference to this post there.)

Now, let's give credit where credit is due – I merely proposed the idea. The artists and writers who took that idea and ran with it are the ones who properly "created" the phenomenon; @iguanamouth and @epochnexus' fanart (the latter then going by @altadude) and @randomslasher's memetic banana bread monologue are what really set the flame alight!

apparently tumblr doesn't like it when I add a poll to a post from 2015 so I made a new one

Did someone say Tony The Tiger and The Grinch but make it a romance book cover? No? That was me?

If fandom puritans can’t handle two middle aged men looking at each other for longer than five seconds they are absolutely not prepared to learn about Grony

forgot to put this here

SO we know that Tony the Tiger and the Grinch are divorced because the same man who sang "you're a mean one Mr Grinch" is also the voice actor of Tony the Tiger. In this song he states he would not want to touch the Grinch with a 39 and a half foot pole. (This will be relevant later) Now the Grinch lives among the Whos, and in Horton hears a who, we learn that Whos are so small that their planet is a speck of dust on a dandelion. This means that a dandelion is equivalent to an entire universe for the Whos. A dandelion is very small and compared to 39 and a half feet it would be millions upon millions of universes. From this we can take that the divorce between the Grinch and Tony the Tiger was so messy that Tony wouldn't even want to be billions of universes away because it would be too close.

yeah so you guys know that tony the tiger x the grinch fanfic that went insanely viral?

yeah.

i was just rereading that absolute rollercoaster of a post about the person who submitted it as a school assignment at a catholic school (omg i still can’t get over that 😂) so now i’m imagining a new Christmas tradition (if you celebrate Christmas) where we all read that fanfic in place of the night before christmas, but like in a children’s book form.

i am essentially saying that i want someone (be it myself or someone else with way too much time on their hands) to make a fully illustrated, rhyming Christmas picture book based on that fanfic that would then become a bestseller and, for a small number of people, a Christmas eve tradition.

anyway. i sincerely apologize for the potential distress this concept has caused for you on this random monday. thank you for coming to my grinch x tony the tiger crack fic christmas tradition ted talk.
