Sad they covered his ankles ☹️
I think it's funny they nuked grimmer's ankles in the anime for almost every scene
except for when he's beat up. In which they take their time panning up his whole form.
THIS ARE ALL SO REAL AND CANON
(The one abt Grimmer’s sweater made me stand up from my chair and walk in circles in my room rethinking my life choices)
random Tenma headcanons
he did not just walk off a car crash like that idc idc he now has chronic pain bc of it
he did not learn his lesson when he fainted back in volume 1 for not sleeping and eating properly, and it def happened again at least once or twice during the timeskips we get between chapters/arcs. The problem is sort of resolved when he's traveling with Dieter because he needs to make sure the both of them are okay but reverts when he's not with Dieter.
never regains the weight he lost while hunting for Johan. His eating and sleeping habits def get better and he does gain most of it back but not all of it.
kept a sweater of Grimmer's after his death
while them getting back together is out of the question, Tenma and Eva have managed to build some sort of friendship post-canon. Despite their differences, there's some comfort found in them knowing each other for so long, and due to their lifestyles (Tenma always traveling, Eva's... complicated personality) they have very few serious connections with people. So it's nice to count each other as one, even if it's flawed.
Whenever he comes back to Germany to visit Dieter, Nina, Eva, etc. he runs into his old patients sometimes and catches up with them to see how they're doing
Despite being proven innocent, his face was plastered on news papers for years as the main suspect of all those murders. Which leads to uncomfortable, awkward circumstances whenever someone (a passerby, a cashier, a bartender, etc.) recognizes him.
Sends Nina and Dieter letters while working that sometimes include photos taken with his patients, mostly child patients.
Brings the two of them souvenirs whenever he thinks of them or finds something he think they'd like
The only problems he has with long/longer hair is the memories attached to it. While he prefers short hair, having it grow out only poses some mildly tedious problems. But whenever it does grow out he's reminded of how much death and misery surrounded him while on the run, and can't bear to let it grow longer. It also makes him feel unkept even if he were to take good care of it.
Literally!
For some reason I definitely know she was a good and nice person, but the things with him ended up messed because of their child’s death.
Also, I just know she loved him so much and leaving him broke her. But also, the death of their child made her realize that something was wrong with him, and she didn’t know how to help him. And she just choose to leave.
I can’t totally blame her for leaving, her son just have died and her husband didn’t show any emotion and something was wrong with him, and she probably thought Grimmer didn’t love her (which was probably true because of his inability to love and show love at that time, but he did care for her, I know Grimmer wanted to love her)
Maybe their life could be different if he told her the truth about him. She would’ve understand. Or maybe not. We don’t know.
She definitely thought her love towards him was completely unrequited.
*Tolerate it by Taylor Swift starts playing in the background*
i want to know more about Grimmer's ex-wife
I literally have no words Oh MY GOD
He had so much to say
He deserved to LIVE
I have finally managed to translate Grimmers note from Another Monster! Now this translation may not be accurate, but I will leave the German version below it incase you want to try to make a better translation! I do not mind if people ask me to try and translate other things from Monster that are written in German.
(I know the poll is still going but i decided to post it early)
CW for explicit topics!! ヾ(￣□￣;)ﾉ
English version Culture In the East Crushed by the West -Materialism -- The West is Flourishing-- The World Is a Utopia - physical Work Is less - Five-day week - The entertainment industry is on the rise - Free time is important - Free love - A pleasure-oriented life. Leisure is the most important value in life. Fear of free time is increasing. Hedonism as a compulsion. Compulsive sex without love. As an individual, you no longer achieve anything. A generation that kills time. Self-hatred. Boredom. Self-denial. Self-discovery Crimes out of boredom - murder = through lust = serial murders already in the 60s there has been an increasing violence The tendency is suspected. Horrible insight! In the West, more and more murders from lust - murderers by lust debunked - brainwashing - murder with the aim of lust - good Camouflage - the perfect crime executed.

THEY ARE MY MOST BELOVEDS 😭💖
quick little surprise kisses~~ 💕
G-d kept them in different universes because they'd be too powerful as besties.
Create your Monstersona! You need to explain three things. 1. what you're doing in Central Europe in the '90s. 2. your connection to the cast. 3. why your wife left you.
Let's get this started.
Mine is Sylvia, an American photojournalist who's vacationing Prague to find out more about her family, the majority of which was killed in the Holocaust or moved to America. She begins finding evidence that one remaining cousin suppressed evidence of his Jewish background and worked for the Czechoslovakian secret police as a subordinate of someone who did not have any consistent name, but who often went by "Franz Bonaparta." Her wife left her over internalized homophobia. Even though she's not religious she was perpetually delaying marrying her partner on account of commitment issues, a belief that it would be against Halacha (which, again, neither she nor anyone in her immediate family keeps) and a feeling that without legal status the ceremony would be pointless.
