The Grinch (Love at First Glance)

*"Can I be honest with you? I do have kind of a secret. I like strong men, because... As a child, I never really had this, so I don't know if it's a Mommy issue or a Daddy issue, but... I like being held, and cradled and, you know, being told "everything's gonna be okay". I guess you can call it a mommy-kink."*
―The Grinch to Devin[src]
The **Grinch** was a selfish being who provoked hatred towards Christmas, to the point he decided to steal the holiday. While stealing people's presents, The Grinch had a change of heart size, causing him to return everything he stole. Sometime later, The Grinch went out on a blind date with Devin Rodriguez at a romantic restaurant in Paris. While he bonded closely with Devin during their date, The Grinch revealed to him that he had a mommy-kink. Unfortunately, Devin became disgusted with The Grinch and insulted him, blowing their relationship and causing The Grinch to become so upset, to the point that he threw a tantrum, before leaving his date behind.

## History

### Stealing Christmas

*"You save the world? I didn't save it, technically, I did steal it at one point, but I did save Christmas."
"W-wait, you stole it?"
"It's kind of a convoluted story, yeah-"
"Oh, but then you gave it back?"
"Yeah, it was kind of a petty thing, but I did give it back."*
―The Grinch and Devin[src]
When The Grinch was born, his parents didn't show up to his birth, so he spent most of his time alone in Whoville, provoking hatred towards Christmas. With his heart being two sizes too small, The Grinch got tired putting up with Christmas, so he decided to steal it. Pretending to be Santa Claus, The Grinch managed to steal multiple presents, which he planned to take back to the Grinch's Hideout. These plans, however, were changed when The Grinch's heart suddenly grew three sizes, prompting him to return everything he stole. Because his heart grew three sizes, The Grinch's ribs couldn't handle this change, leading him to go to hospital to have wires inserted into his body. The Grinch didn't enjoy this.

### Blind Date with Devin

*"You know, I... I wasn't really expecting this but, I am Gay, so, I guess it... works."
"I wasn't expecting a bundle of diet green pubes."
"We just sat the fuck down! Why are you immediately doing this?"*
―The Grinch and Devin[src]

The Grinch went to a romantic restaurant rooftop in Paris to have a blind date with someone, who turned out to be Devin. Upon meeting him at their table, The Grinch claimed that he wasn't really expecting this, but he commented that he was Gay, so he guess it worked. Devin however, began to judge The Grinch by his looks, saying he wasn't expected to be paired up with "a bundle of diet green pubes". Upset with Devin, The Grinch told his date that they just sat down, wondering why he was immediately criticizing him. Just then, the two were interrupted by the Waiter, who asked if he could get some drinks for the two. The Grinch told the Waiter that Devin liked a bottle of water. The Grinch then read from the menu, but due to his poor English, he pronounced Ginger ale as 'Genger Alee'. The Waiter rudely corrected The Grinch, causing him to question why the Waiter was treating him like this. The Waiter then left to collect the two their drinks, but the moment he was out of sight, The Grinch and Devin started to criticize the Waiter, with The Grinch believing him to be a dick.

### Eating Green Eggs and Ham

*"We didn't order this! What the fuck is this, is this- **THIS IS GREEN EGGS AND HAM**. Did they give us poison!?"*
―The Grinch to Devin[src]

The Grinch apologized to Devin for his poor English, saying that he wasn't from Paris, but rather Whoville. Curious, Devin asked The Grinch what Whoville was like, so The Grinch described it to be a 'weird' place. The two were interrupted by the return of the Waiter, who gave them a plate of Green Eggs and Ham instead of the drinks that they ordered. As the Waiter began to leave, The Grinch told him to come back and correct his mistake, but the Waiter said no and ran off. Looking back at the food that he and Devin were given, The Grinch realized that the dish was Green Eggs and Ham, much to his confusion. The Grinch then questioned if the Waiter had given them poison, as he and Devin refused to consume the Green Eggs and Ham. Just then, The Grinch decided to take a bite out of the Green Eggs and Ham.

Much to his surprise, he realized that the food wasn't actually that bad. The Grinch then gave the plate to Devin, who took a bit out of the Green Eggs and Ham himself. Devin complimented on the 'steak', but The Grinch told him this was ham. Devin disagreed with The Grinch, saying that ham was technically just a pork steak, but this led The Grinch to question if he ever went to school. The Grinch started suggesting that Devin was homeless because of the dirt on his face, with Devin confessing that he didn't have a mother. The Grinch related to him, mentioning that his parents never showed up to his birth. The Grinch and Devin started to see some ground relationship as they both shared the leftover Green Eggs and Ham with each other.

### Discussions with Devin

*"You know, honestly, I kinda take back what I said, you're not so bad, and I think you're kinda, uhh... cute! You look like you're strong. I would like a strong guy."
"I'm pretty strong, strong enough to take down giant robots."
"Ah, you take down robots?"
"Yeah..."
"You're... you're smile is really cute."*
―The Grinch and Devin[src]

Continuing to talk with The Grinch, Devin asked him what he liked, and The Grinch told Devin that he liked a lot of Republican views. Unfortunately, their romantic dinner was interrupted by the Waiter once more. Upset that the Waiter farted in their faces as he bypassed their table, both The Grinch and Devin said 'Fuck you!!' in unison. The Grinch then told the Waiter to go kill himself, which he did, by jumping off the rooftop's balcony. Going back to their conversation, The Grinch gave Devin a random question, asking him what he did for a living. Devin told The Grinch he didn't really do anything, but mentioned that he kind of saved the world, much to The Grinch's surprise.

The Grinch then mentioned of the time he stole Christmas, but technically saved it in the end, describing it to be a really convoluted story. Devin believed that The Grinch's heart grew three sizes that day, with The Grinch confirming his theory to be true, saying that it did. The Grinch then told Devin that his ribs couldn't handle the size change and that he had to go to the hospital to have wires inserted, but Devin became disgusted by this, calling The Grinch a rug in the process. Offended, The Grinch asked Devin if he liked rugs, but Devin told him he didn't.

The Grinch then asked what Devin did like. Devin told The Grinch that he liked muscular women, and The Grinch told him that he could shave his fur to look like on if he wanted. Devin took this idea into consideration, as The Grinch started to take back what he said about Devin before, mentioning that he wasn't as bad as he previously thought. The Grinch then confessed that he thought Devin was kinda cute. Resting his head on his hands, The Grinch placed bets on how strong Devin was. Devin claimed that he was pretty strong, strong enough to take down giant robots, pleasing The Grinch as he commented on Devin's cute smile.

### Romantic Dinner Ruined

*"OH, FUCK! WE HAD A NICE THING! I THOUGHT WE HAD A THING GOING, YOU FUCKING QUEER!"
"You look like a c\*\* artifact!"
"OH, FUCK YOU! ALRIGHT!? WE HAD A NICE THING GOING, AND YOU RUINED IT! I DON'T KNOW HOW I'LL BE ABLE TO LOVE EVER AGAIN, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS I FELT TRUE LOVE! I FELT THAT IN MY HEART, I HAD BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH! I THOUGHT YOU WERE ABLE TO HOLD ME, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GORGEOUS, BUT I SEE NOW YOU'RE A CYNICAL PIECE OF SHIT! YOU'RE PROBABLY A LIBERAL AS WELL!"*
―Devin and The Grinch[src]

Comfortable with Devin's presence, The Grinch decided to share with him a personal secret of his. The Grinch told Devin that he liked strong men because of him having a desire to be held, cradled, and be told that "everything is gonna be okay", describing it to be a mommy-kink. Unfortunately, Devin thought of The Grinch's mommy-kink to be weird, much to his concern. That's when Devin started to reveal to The Grinch a rundown of everything wrong with him, describing The Grinch to be ugly, stinky, moldy, crusty, rusty, dusty, and musty.

Overwhelmingly upset, The Grinch started to yell at Devin, who continued to insult The Grinch by calling him a c\*\* artifact. The Grinch started going on a rant about how they had a nice thing going, but that Devin completely ruined everything. The Grinch started to doubt that he would ever be able to love again, and took back everything nice he ever said in regards to Devin, now seeing him as a cynical piece of shit, and suggested that he was probably a liberal as well. Devin then told The Grinch that he was left-handed, which upset The Grinch even more. The Grinch then violently bashed his head on their table, and left Devin behind, taking his Ginger ale drink with him.

### Universe 1225 Variant

*"ALL YOU DO IS HURT ME, YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON. THERE WAS A TIME, IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE WHERE I WAS REALLY OVER YOU AND YOU MADE FUN OF MY MOMMY-KINK. YOU MADE FUN OF IT. AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF YOU! AND ABOVE ALL, YOU'RE A FUCKING... FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!!!!"*
―The Grinch to Knollad[src]
Because of his Hive Mind, The Grinch of Universe 1225 would learn of the moment where Devin made fun of his mommy-kink, causing him to become upset. This version of The Grinch later mentioned the event to Knollad, who he believed to be Devin due to his similar looks.
