Profile picture on his channel and Twitter

**Grill Burns** is the show host of the Grill Channel and a supporting character in the On the Hill series. It is strongly implied that he is homosexual and either already in or heading into a relationship with Chill, but Grill does not put a label on their relationship and just refers to him as "My boy." He is one of Brew's roommates and is currently helping out on Brew's channel. He is known to read and reply to tweets on his Twitter. He also has a shop.

## Appearance

Grill has spiky, light blonde hair cut into some sort of pixie cut and has noticeably thick eyebrows that arch at the top. In a Brew episode, it was revealed that he had green eyes. His body is fit & muscular with skinny legs, with his chest is covered in tattoos. One in Chill's name with a heart on it. Another is a realistic Ryan Reynolds face with a signature. One is the word "Beyond." Another is the word "Yeet" over a line over a star. The last one is Loaf's face. He is shown to grow beard stubble on several occasions. There's a scar on his left arm above the elbow. His height varies in episodes.

His original outfit consisted of a cinnabar red sweater with a blood red & salmon pink fanny pack slung over his right shoulder, and track pants the color of dried blood with a pink stripe running down the sides. His salmon pink boots with blood red soles were seemingly held together by a single strip of Velcro & worn over light purple socks. His nightwear consists of a sea foam colored and teal robe over a red t-shirt along with pink plaid boxers with red stripes.

His newest outfit consists of a dark red headband, a bright red sleeveless sweatshirt with a white t-shirt underneath, and olive green cargo pants. His shoes are salmon/light red climbing boots with dark red laces and soles. On Halloween of 2021 he switched to cyan & yellow socks. Grill has occasionally been seen with a soul patch style beard. He is shown to grow beard stubble in the morning. He wears glasses, a bathrobe, & pink plaid boxers at night when he's editing his own videos instead of Chill.

As a child, Grill had a bowl haircut & overalls, & was a little shorter than Chill. In Jr. high or high school he went through a Goth or Emo phase with longer hair with blue tips, a cat tail clip on his pants, red plaid shirt, & a lip ring in an Emo fashion. In a high school swim team photo, he's sporting an asymmetric bowl cut with a soul patch.

## Personality

Grill is a classic textbook Tsundere, which is a term mostly used in anime and refers to a character archetype who tries to hide feelings of affection behind aggression. He is known to be one of the loudest and most opinionated characters in the series but is very squeamish & easily grossed-out. He is shown to have quite the temper and has an extremely chaotic personality, but works hard to keep his anger in check with the help of Chill. His demeanor of being a tsundere has been acknowledged in-universe, between a book Chill owns & listed as a side effect of drinking YEET.

Grill typically responds to things with indiscreet rage and rarely thinks before he acts. That being said, he is able to take other's feelings into consideration and isn't afraid to stand up for and to them. He can sometimes come off as insensitive from the way he shares his thoughts to others, but he usually doesn't do so with ill-intent, like when he was roasting tweets that defended abusive cat owners or attacked 13-year-olds.

He tends to have a contradictory nature, as he would make fun of topics that he finds stupid or silly but would defend something equally mundane to the very extreme, or try to cash in on the very thing he's complaining about. He also seems to be a bit lazy and is prone to give up if he finds tasks frustrating. He has been shown frequently use malapropisms & the occasional spoonerism when speaking, he also spells & pronounces "snake" as "psnaic." He seems to believe everything he hears at face value, but once implied to Brew that he liked his audience to think he was gullible for a bit of fun, so it's hard to say if he likes to troll his & Brew's audiences, or if he genuinely believes that giraffes aren't real, Magnapinna squid are time travelers, all crustaceans have psychic abilities, & that eels can shoot lasers from their eyes.

He is a bit of a hypocrite, thinking Brew needs an intervention over his love of coffee when he himself can't go without several cans of YEET a day. He's also forgetful, dismissive, & a procrastinator. He frequently misremembers people's names & uses improper terms.

He is very antiauthoritarian. He thinks smoking looks cool, but doesn't do it himself. He hates vaping, but doesn't think it should be banned. He doesn't think the government or popular public opinion should tell people what they can & can't do with their bodies, & he has no problem insulting teachers to their face. Thinks Ebenezer Scrooge & The Grinch had the right ideas about Christmas.

Like Brew, he doesn't seem to sleep much, for he does his YouTube videos around 2-3am. His YouTube rants can go on for about 2 hours. His free time revolves around PC games & Twitter, but he also craves human interaction, though he will vehemently deny it.

Grill seems to dislike most things, but being a Tsundere, he often pretends to dislike things he secretly enjoys.

## Fires

Grill is a pyromaniac, & enjoys tossing lit pieces of paper in the trash. Often times burning trash bins would be knocked over on their sides with the carpet & wall burning. His flaming tweets would fly right past his punching bag, leaving viewers wondering if one would ever land on it & catch fire, but it ironically ended up getting singed by Lance after having too many electronics plugged in under Grill's desk. It is unknown exactly how many times he has nearly burned down Brew's house, though many of the kitchen fires were started by Chill. Brew got back at them unintentionally by burning down their Minecraft house. One of his largest house fire started when he was trying to roast Brew's coffee beans, despite not drinking coffee, & then dousing it with YEET which made it worse. Another was when he tried to put out a fire by setting it on fire. He's been seen running around the house with a homemade Molotov Cocktail, & he threatened to remove a tick on his arm by setting it on fire.

## Relationships

**Chill:** Chill is Grill's best friend and roommate, who he refers to as "his boy". In fact, they seem to be more than just friends. It has been implied that the two of them are gay for one another and are currently in or heading towards a romantic relationship. Chill is one of the only people Grill finds "tolerable" and can be protective if someone upsets him. In turn, Chill tries to encourage Grill to control his temper and make more friends. Despite their relationship, Chill is not spared from Grill's vitriol. He still acts rude and sometimes even insulting towards Chill, who usually lets these remarks roll off his shoulder. In turn, Chill on rare occasion can throw some shade at Grill as well. Despite their drastic differences in personality, the two usually get along well and are rarely seen without the other. Despite their closeness, Grill was annoyed to find Chill playing Minecraft using a Grill skin, calling it identity theft.

**Jack:** Jack is one of Grill's classmates at Hillmark Academy. Though Jack sees Grill as a friend, his optimistic attitude serves as an endless source of annoyance to Grill. Due to this, Grill stubbornly refuses to refer to Jack as a friend. However, Grill does slowly seem to be warming up to Jack, showing a real friendship might bloom between them.

**Brew:** Brew's relationship with Grill can vary between parental & brotherly, with a bit of friendly rivalry between two Youtubers. Though the two didn't interact much at first, they did seem to have mostly friendly relations with each other, though Grill never hesitates to take a shot at Brew, such as calling Brew "uncool". After Grill and Chill's home is burned down, Brew opens his home for them to stay. There they seem to have grown closer as friends, though they tend to get on each others nerves; Brew with his puns, gross-out images, & disturbing trivia, which Grill hates, & Grill by loudly & frequently interrupting Brew when he speaks. He finds Brew to be a killjoy when on his show.

**Spill:** Casual acquaintances who don't seem to get along particularly well. When they first met, Grill could barely remember her name, and in general, his demeanor seems to annoy her. When Grill called her to ask if she wanted to hang out with him, she answered "No" before he could finish his sentence, and promptly hung up on him. His phone's ID photo of her is the back of her head.

**Braydon:** Grill & Braydon have something of an unspoken rivalry, between Lance's class assignments & the group snarking on his Twitter account to promote their YouTube channel. Braydon was Grill's first suspect in the framing of Chill.

**Brett:** Grill was passive-aggressively annoyed that Brett opened a restaurant directly next to his Waffle House in Minecraft that was stealing all his customers. So he planned to burn it down the exact same way Brew burned down his house. It is unknown if Chill managed to stop him.

**Howard:** He once made a heartfelt apology video to Howard for breaking him, but accidentally sent it to Jack. He also tried to steal Howards jewels. He referred to Howard as their "Protagonist" & said that deep down he & Howard are the same. He told Howard he loved his coffee, but Howard shot him down.

**Loaf:** Grill's rescue cat who spends most of its time sleeping on top of his computer. Appearing frequently on Grill's Show & never seen on Brew Solves or On The Hill. Loaf was rescued from a weird house/makeshift office he took a virtual tour of via magic wand tool.

**Charles:** While Lifehack has made an attempt at being Grill's friend, Grill has not returned the favor. He also had a dream episode of his show where Lifehack ruined his interview with Ryan Reynolds & implied that Grill was Goth/Emo, which made Grill very mad. He also denied being friends with Lifehack in a tweet.

**Quiz:** Grill feels a bit off about her, seeing her as something of a Rule 63 Brew who just brings more puns & gross facts into the house, but he's getting used to her. He gave her a can of YEET, but both she & Brew agreed it was poison. Grill has taken a liking to scaring & annoying her, with things like fake ghosts, ideas about being trapped inside a maze of underground catacombs, & making cracking sounds by popping all his joints.

**Lance:** He hates Lance's class & dislikes Lance, complaining about him frequently. He's not afraid to insult him right to his face in school, & was not at all pleased to find that while he was on vacation, Lance had broken in to his office & was living under his desk with several utilities plugged in. One of them caught on fire & burned down their house.

**xXDied-DeathXx:** They're on good terms & helped each other rescue Brew & Quiz from Lifehack's wrath in Minecraft.

**Mordecai:** Aka Morty. A baby zombie Chill adopted initially as a pet & then as a son. It took Grill awhile to warm up to it. Grill now, along with Chill, treats Morty as if their son.

## Office

He's had two offices in two houses, but they are nearly identical. Has a receipt printer he uses specifically for printing out Tweets. It converts internet to paper, & paper to internet. He has a red & white scanner/printer with video compatible paper. Chill is confused by them. He has a punching bag near his desk with singe marks from the house fire. Among the books & games on his office shelf include parodies of Halo 3 Anne of Green Gables. Shrek, Modern Warfare, DOTA, Snakes & Ladders, & possibly League of Legends. He has a silver TV with built-in VCR & an orange & yellow joypad that seems to be based on an Xbox controller. There is a lava lamp on a stool & a YouTube award for 66.6 subs. The walls in his old office were pink stripes & the new office is a pale lilac purple. There's a mini fridge under the printer, a cat bed on the book case, & a large box with a baseball bat & a yoga mat.

## Gaming

* Has a Red Eyes Black Persian Kitty Cat Sunshine Land card, which is a Yu-Gi-Oh reference.
* Collects wool in Minecraft by punching sheep instead of sheering them. Thinks Brew burning down his Minecraft house is worse than his own house fires because he didn't build the house.
* He wanted to get kicked off the Among Us game so he could go back to playing Star Wars Squadrons.
* He wished that Van Van, a JoJo parody character from "I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator" had been the protagonist, & that he was playing "Van Van the Man Man: A Very Manly Dating Simulator" instead.
* He wanted to test if the PS5 & Xbox Series X was faster, so he dropped them off a building at the same time.
* He likes the PS5 because it looks like Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh.
* Thinks Solid Snake can't be trusted because his pants are skin tight.
* Wants Bugsnax.
* Thinks the PS5 is superior to the Xbox Series X is almost every possible way, but is only ever seen playing PC games with Xbox controller.
* Thinks the Xbox Series X is a giant fridge that huffs smoke, abut also told Brew he knew it was fake, possibly to save face after being informed.
* It is implied that he & Chill purged their server of villages, making emeralds scarce. It could also have been Lifehack, as he's the only one on the server who has emeralds.
* Thinks Sonic 64 was the very first video game in 1992. The N64 came out in 1996 & had no Sonic games, but fan-made ROM hacks of this game do exist, & in the 90s, some ROM hacks were actually transferred to cartridges & sold, & physical copies or original & bootleg games continue to be sold on dead consoles to retro gamers to this day.
* Owns a Kittycat Sunshine Lands plushie.
* Won't buy microtransactions in games. Prefers to grind for success instead.
* Plays an obscure mobile game called Frag Pro Shooter.

## Reading Mean Tweets and BURNING Them

There's a lot to unpack in this double length episode. Grill's acapella debut album includes quotes like "Epstein didn't kill himself" & "this album f\*\*king slaps." This album is most likely a parody of "Strong Bad Sings" from Homestar Runner. It also contains some color effects that are either making fun of image ghosting on vintage TVs or suggests you should be wearing retro 3D glasses while watching. Grill skipped Halloween to go on a mission to steal Kevin's dakimakura & toss it in the garbage in a duffle bag with a few of his own things. He was about to set it on fire when he was attacked by one of the Hazmat guys Brew sent after him when he was all doped up on Chill's lo-fi beats. Someone sends him a nonsensical video of a guy dabbing to "row row row your boat" & he responds with a story about his father abandoning him in the city during a parade to get some cigarettes & never coming back, a reference to My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade." Under his desk, Lance is cooking tuna & butter in a coffee pot, based on the 5 Minute Crafts video Grill sent to traumatize Brew. Lance's coffee pot, which used to belong to brew, caught on fire & burned the house down. Chill & Grill move in with Brew.

In this episode, you can see the top of his Loaf tattoo while he's singing Disco Inferno, but it looks like chest hair, but it's missing entirely when he's singing Firework.
