Grinchman

This is my latest story,  it features a grinch tf and is sort of a homage to the first Darkman movie especially near the end.  I hope you like it.

------------

Scientist Nathan Forester had always had a facination with monsters, the supernatural and the paranormal.




He had a group of monsters in his bedroom closet who served as his loyal guardians. His monster gang often fought off the enemies that he himself was too busy to deal with personally.



Of course monsters weren't the only thing Nathan liked, he also liked science, movies, animation and comics. His favourite movie stars were Bruce Campbell and Jim Carrey.



He loved all of Jim Carrey's movies but his particular favourite was The Grinch, as he had been facinated by the mysterious green, furry species known as Grinches and he himself had dreamed of becoming one for a long time.



Now to some it seemed crazy even bat shit insane that he would want to be a grinch like the one from the movie, in fact he had been ridiculed for this by practically all of his enemies including Rents the man who ran the website Slapstick Anarchy, Habermann and his cronies at Metokur.org and even Encyclopedia Dramatica.



But he paid no attention to them, as he was too busy doing some important research, he had done some extensive research on grinches and was working on a formula make himself become more grinch-like.





"It's almost finished." He exclaimed.



"It's lovely, Doc. But what does it do?" His friend Andria Kilgor asked.



"That's a good question Andria, and here is your answer. You see i have been facinated by grinches for a long time and have always dreamed of being one." He replied.



"That's great." She responded.



"You mean you don't think it's crazy or in the least bit insane?" He exclaimed.



"Of course not, it's wonderful. I never believe anything Rents, Habermann or Encyclopedia Dramatica says about you." She told him. "You're a charming, talented, wonderful man."



"Why thank you." He responded, smiling.



"You're quite welcome." She told him.



And with that Andria left as Nathan continued his work.



Nathan held the formula in his hand, and after just the right amount of grinch DNA to it, he took some sips of it.



After drinking it he found himself taking on more grinch-like characteristics each night, he became stronger, faster and increasingly stealthier and more grinch-like.



One night Andria found him in the lair, he was start to look more grinch-like by the second.



"Nathan!" She cried. "Is that you?"



"Yes, it is." He responded, his voice sounding deeper and more bestial.



"I want to take a look." She said. "You perfect the formula, it worked. It doesn't matter what they say about you."



He turned around, revealing that he was indeed becoming more grinch-like in appearance, green fur was growing on his hands and all over him, his feet had grown more grinch-like and had black claws on his toenails similar to the black clawed grinch-like nails he had on his hands, his hair was starting to turn a dark greenish colour and his eyes were glowing, eyebrows becoming similar to the grinch's eyebrows.



"Andria. Don't you think I told myself that? The formula worked, i'm finally getting to become more grinch-like, it's a dream come true for me. I love it, and i'm sure you would love me like this too inside and out. After I finished taking a few sips of the formula..i began to change. Now I have to conceal my identity" He told her, in a deeper more bestial voice. "But a funny thing happened, i'm slowly changing into an actual grinch - I can live with that, but i don't think anyone else can."



As Nathan walked out of the lair, Andria followed him and tried to comfort him. He left the lair.



"Nathan! Nathan!" She cried.



"Nathan is gone." He responded in a deeper more bestial voice, as he spoke he was starting to look more grinch-like, he was taller, wider, his ears were now pointed and covered with green fur, his facial features becoming slightly grinch-like as his nose began to push out into a more Grinch fashion, black, homid and great for tracking down enemies or sniffing for food, a grinch-like muzzle forming on his face.



And with that he rushed off at superhuman speed and disappeared into the crowd.



Andria ran through the crowd trying to find him, but to no avail, she couldn't find him anywhere.



"Nathan! Nathan!" She called out. "Nathan!"



She looked around some more but alas she could not find him for he had disappeared into the crowd.



"I am a man and I am a grinch. I am everywhere, and nowhere." He said in a deeper more bestial voice. "Call me....Grinchman".



He gave one last farewell glance towards Andria, his eyes glowing an eerie yellowish colour as his grinch-like muzzle finished forming.



And with that he slunk off into the night, and Andria sobbed because she knew she probably wouldn't see him again. But he did visit her from time to time, mainly at night.





The end

My grinchy origin

Yes,  it is a true I am a grinch.  I transform at night though. So does my father,  his human form resembles Bruce Campbell - i've only seen him in that form,  i have not yet seen him in his grinch form yet.


You see, my father Jack is quite a grouchy man – in fact he’s actually a grinch himself.  He and mother met in the street.




On the day she thought he was going to ask her for her hand in marriage, he told her his secret instead, that he is a grinch, existing for many years, roaming the earth, always unhappy, grumpy, and doing bad things out of anger. He saw her and knew it was her he was looking for all these years and his heart filled with love. And the two got married and lived happily for 4 years.



But there was a slight problem, being that grinches are notoriously grinchy – their aura affects those around them, and with two grinches life would become unbearably grumpy for both of them, A few years later after he told her he was a grinch, she told him she was pregnant with me.



Gradually the people around them grew more angry, until it was almost impossible to live. On that day, he decided to leave. When mom asked how she’d ever see him again. Just as he left he said…”My son will find me when the time comes” , as he turned green and disappeared into the night.



And that’s what happened.

Gargoyles

Today we are going to tell you about the epic cartoon series Gargoyles. It was a Disney cartoon like no other, it was darker and edgier and was unique. Many of it was based on Scottish mythology and shakespearian plays.




Gargoyles used to air on Disney Channel during the 90's and this was way before Disney became a hum drum teen bop network. You can get the first season of this epic show on dvd now, and hopefully some day Disney will release more seasons of it on dvd as well.



These creatures do indeed exist - in fact some can be sighted in places like St Augustine - but do not worry, these creatures do not attack people it is not their nature.



This show was parodied in Freakazoid as a segment titled Lawn Gnomes.



Our friends in stone are often called grotesques as this is said to be the correct term for these guys.



The Manhattan Clan of gargoyles are actually rather friendly despite their rather menacing appearances. They're the good guys.


If you ever get the chance to, you can watch episodes of the show on Youtube.

Gargoyles are stone by day and warriors by night.



From 1994 - 2009 there was often a Gargoyles fan event called the Gathering. The last one took place near the end of August last year. They have stopped doing these now for some reason, you can find out more about these here:

My brother and I often went to these big Gargoyle gatherings especially in 2007 and 2008 - we also went to last year's one.
