Hello and welcome to this Pod Together 2024 project. The writer is FandomIsOhana and the podficcer is me, eafay70.
This pod together is not sponsored by Chickie and Petes (although this writer wishes it was). However the writer does recommend if you ever visit Philly (and I think the Jersey Shore) you should try their crab fries. Anyhow back to your regularly scheduled content.
Warning the writer is not drunk, just probably sleep-deprived and also highly distracted. The podficcer is also not drunk, but is sleep-deprived at time of recording and probably still is sleep-deprived whenever you are listening to this. Literally, whenever.
Before we start writing i just want to say holy fuck Eafay why the fuck did you make me sign up for this. Just kidding, in all seriousness she is freaking talented and I love her work. Also warning this story is all over the place so
I think that a Gritty cult would be a great idea.
Also Deadpool and Gritty would totally be besties 5ever lol uwu. Anyhow now I am picturing a catgirl Gritty or like a Gritty with flower crowns. It is unfair that Gritty was not around for that era of Tumblr.
There should be a drunk history about Gritty!
Okay so I don’t know how this would work but there should be like a White Collar Au where someone from The Islanders forged a fake Gritty suit so they have to investigate so Neal pretends to be an Ice Dancer and Peter pretends to be Sparky for a game.
Can I be serious for a moment? Okay thank you. I really like Gritty because he shows that even the oddest of creatures can be loved and supported and I think that is just beautiful. I think he could be a protector of sorts to all the misfits and outcasts of the world. Fighting for truth, justice and Cheesesteaks. His cape of course would be the liberty bell. He’s always open to hearing the things you love. His vehicle of choice is a Zamboni.
I don’t know if it’s happened yet but I want a dance party hosted and DJed by Gritty.
Unrelated but I think Oscar The Grouch/Gritty would be a great ship
Imagine Gritty officiating a wedding.
I think Gritty would be a bard in DND. Because he’s a performer and chaotic as hell.
I wonder what Gritty’s humansona would be
I want to see a drag king or queen use Gritty as an inspiration for their look
The writer has been working on organizing their Lights of Broadway (trademark) trading cards instead of writing. In their defense the cards are highly addicting. Similarly, the podficcer has been procrastinating on editing this podfic by watching the Olympics and soccer friendlies.
Another beloved character that Gritty would be friends with is definitely Stitch.
In an unrelated note if you ever have the chance to visit Philly you should come to a game; no one in the US does sports quite like Philly fans. From what the podficcer understands, this doesn't just apply to Gritty's team. It also applies to Gritty's housemate's team, aka the 76ers in reference to Franklin; Gritty's neighbor's team, aka the Eagles in reference to Swoop; and Gritty's other neighbor's team, this time referring to the one with a mother and a bunch of friends. This refers to the Phillies and the Phanatic and the Phanatic's mother, Phoebe, and the Galapagos Gang. The podficcer knows quite a bit about Philly's mascots, sorry not sorry.
Spoiler alert the monster under your bed is actually Gritty!!
Going back to Deadpool if there ever was a Gritty movie I would want Ryan Reynolds to voice it
I’m picturing that one song from the Muppets but with Gritty. I think it’s called Mahna Mahna? Yep, that's exactly what it's called. [podficcer sings the song] So, yeah, that, but by Gritty. Presumably squeakier. I don't actually know.
I want a Chuck Tingle novel about Gritty
Also a Shia Labeouf parody about Gritty
Do I have time to write, yes I do; but do I, no I do not. I’m probably playing Solitaire, going on Wikipedia, scrolling through tik tok or something else like that. I’m sorry but also not at the same time. Similarly: Does the podficcer set her own working schedule? Pretty much. Does this mean she could totally schedule in as much podficcing time as she wanted? Yeah, I guess. Does she do that? No. Does she feel bad about it? Sometimes.
Today’s letter is F for… Flyers!!! Wait you thought it was going to be fuck, well some people need to get their heads out of the gutter, geez the audacity of some of you.
And now a segment of random words that come to my head: Apple, pineapple, your mom, copacabana, motherfucker, avengers assemble, Peco Power Play. I don’t know what this was. It was a stupid idea okay byeeeeeeeeeeee love you all no homo. Podficcer's actually fine with homo or anything else.
Gritty's never gonna give you up
Gritty's never gonna to let you down
Gritty's never gonna run around and desert you
When Gritty was a young boy his father took him into the city to see a marching band
I LOVE GRITTY SO MUCH BRO I JUST WANT TO CRY ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE GRITTY EXCEPT I DON'T THINK GRITTY WOULD WANT ME TO CRY ABOUT IT
I’m now picturing Gritty holding out a boombox like that one movie I am too lazy to google. Podficcer looked it up. Movie is called "Say Anything..." Podficcer has never seen it.
Do you think Gritty has a fat ass or is just super thin? That is holy hell one of the weirdest things I have ever written ever. I am so sorry you had to see that sentence with your own two eyes and have to hear it with your own two ears. I owe you some compensation or whatever the word is.
I want a questionable food collaboration with Gritty but I am not sure what it would be. Maybe Cheese Wiz?
I think it would be cool if Gritty made Stan Lee style cameos in movies
And now some false advertising about Gritty brought to you by the writer realizing they are running out of time to write this and know they fucked up: Gritty can cure all sickness and diseases just by looking at you. Gritty can make your depression go away just by giving you a hug (okay I lied this one might be half true). Gritty is wanted in over 25 or so countries for various unspeakable crimes he has committed.
His fur is so big because it’s filled with secrets (yes I made a mean girls reference, yes I am wearing pink, and yes it is Wednesday when I write this deal with it). Yes, the podficcer deliberately wore pink when recording. No, the podficcer didn't record on a Wednesday. Yes, the podficcer regrets that decision for the sake of this line.
Gritty is secretly the ruler of the whole entire planet and we must bow down to him or face terrible consequences.
Okay now I just have to Eafay thank you so so so much for putting up with me throughout all of this, you are amazing and I could not have done any of this without you.
I am really sorry that this is not the fic you all expected but I have not had that many writing spoons lately but I still wanted to sign up for something like this so I am really happy Eafay was very flexible with me throughout all of this. Eafay says, thank you for writing something that was so much fun! I have no regrets. Thank you to everyone who's listened. Bye-bye!
