Description Copied from my Tumblr:

(Legacy lesson (I will make this as short as possible, you will not regret reading.) Some of this is based of estimation from context, Please read all of this as I am promising you will see it is so worth it.  )

People in this fandom tend to think Grievous legit is just some empty character with no emotion, personality, heart break, or hey hell the most obvious GRIEF. This is clearly not true but since a lot of the muns here do not put a second thought to this character (I mean the jedi, padawan, good-guy rpers who do not really think of Grievous much) I decided to sketch everyone up a little doodle of his transformation from  Qymaen jai Sheelal toGrievous witch was a much longer and painful transformation than one shuttle crash and a medical procedure.


Qymaen  was not even considered Grievous until a female confidate passed. You must keep in mind Grievous’ home world (Kalee) Was legit always (I mean as in daily, not always as in centuries. or for a portion of Grievous’ life)  at war with the Huk’ who practically invaded and started it all up themselves by pushing the Kaleesh around from their dept. Qymaen was actually a skilled tactic worrier (duh) so keep in mind his life was more than likely 80% war. Given this you can take from context clues that whatever friends he has made in battle? he most likely watched them die by the Huks hand. so this is not a character that just lost his body, I’d say this is a character that lost his humanity. His ability to feel empathy lacks probably because he is sick of seeing his loved ones be hacked down or blown to bits. 

I will make up a good scenario that more than likely happened to him. 

I am saying, put yourself in this characters shoes, Imagine waking up to the sounds of war, grabbing your weapon only to exit your housing unit or tent to see a young Kaleesh scout return. Panicking this scout has news of an invasion by the Huk, who plan on invading your camp and are literally moments away. As you rush to alert the other Kaleesh the ambushing begins, You try to fight of the huk wile the scout fires off an explosive to warn the others. Now imagine watching your people, your friends, become victims of man slaughter. You watch and can’t do anything about it because you are busy fighting for your own life. 

( Keep in mind the republic stepped in AND TOOK THE HUKS’ SIDE without asking any questions or learning the Huk where in the wrong. so there is where Grievous’ hate for jedi came from. )

and that could have just been considered the norm. Grievous was not some spoiled rich man with an easy going life who just decided “Up let me be a cyborg jut for the lulz” (at least not until the moron who made clone wars on Cartoon network decided not to do any fucking research (he should get hit by a car man ) Grievous was actually forced to be on his toes and alert. He was at war with another species and if you don’t know anything about war- 
it is mindbogglingly anxiety educed. may I include PTSD can be most caused by war? or battle? War is not something for a soft person to be involved in. Grievous had to lack empathy for the Huk in order to survive, and stay alert and think outside the box for attack plans.


Okay now imagine that after a few victories over the huk you are promoted, eventually you find yourself ordered to carry out a mission. You enter your star ship with your men and take off. wile on your way you are over an ocean, pondering your plans, thinking about someone back home or even too exhausted to stay alert. Your attention is caught by a loud explosion shaking you from your thoughts. and your ship crashes into said ocean. When you wake up you are in a medical tube, half of your body gone. A man is standing in front of you telling you the republic shot your ship down, the republic killed your men, the republic caused your body to become this demolished, o where you could not even fight much less live longer. But this man also proposes a deal, if you would allow him to give you a new body, and fight for the Separatists, he will pay off the Kaleeshs’ dept entirely. Your people can finally be free.  

A cold numb like cyborg is what you become. You are made mostly of metal. Your warm skin is replaced by cold metal plates, And you are told all of this was because of the jedi. 


So now you know, Grievous is not just some asshole who is going after Jedi just because, and he didn’t become a cyborg for the lulz. He lost so much. More than you have ever lost, and yet is somehow able to keep himself going. But By fueling himself with undying hatred. He is not just some cold lifeless cyborg. Grievous is actually a man who has been torn down, and stripped of everything he has had but his tittle of a good worrier. Keep this in mind next time you see a re run of the clone wars and go “wow the guy who made this did a good jib, grievous is jst a reckless moron” because it is not true  ad this character is HIGHLY under rated, .>. ))

Oh no I am enjoying myself as well, I tend to fly on canon things and fill in any empty gaps in his story with a little of what, again from context clues, more than likely happened due to war. And even then I do not enforce that.

As for /fucking/ Ahsoka LOL NO I think they just shoved a sue oc down or throats entirely. I mean ANIKAN was the padawan learning, even by episode III he was learning ( not so much of jedi tactic but he obviously had room to learn as he slipped from the ways of the force)
Really The cartoon would have been WAY better if Anikan was the main focus, watching him spiral into the wrong path secretly wold have taught children how to spot signs of someone becoming a victim of mental illnesses. 
Along with that, I would not even care about the little screen time Grievous got (I gave up with Anikan yo) Really there was just SO much they could have done but decided "lol no shove this little brat in the show)
Could have been like Anikan and Obi wan. I am not mad because Ahsoka is new, I am mad because she just made no since to me, she seemed like a fuckn' moron to me. But I can not say too much about her as I just gave up and watched all Grievous' screen time and ignored the rest of the series after a wile.

As for animation, that was probably it, probably cost a TON to animate him. So it would have made a huge set back for them at the time, sadly.

And the  2003 Cartoon was an advantage to ALL the characters, even obi wan was amazing in it. 

Grievous was amazingly portrayed in III though, keep in mind his chest was rapured after Mace crushed it, so his ability to fight was limited. still there is a few things with the obi wan fight that could have been tweeked.
Also it seems one thing they did wrong, was Grievous' intellect was died down. In reality if he was in that condition about to fight Obi wan? no, he would have high tailed out of there before obi wan even arrived knowing he was i no condition to fight him. But it seems that was sacrificed due to the fact that Grievous was not in the OT or even mentioned there, also they probably saw him as useless to the story line once he was injured.

That would of been a better use of the show, i hate to believe that they just created a sue and wanted her to be main focus but it's probably true. And I tend to just watch the episodes with Grievous in them anymore too.  The only ones I really like that are ahsoka heavy are the last few episodes of season 5, and it's only because I'm really into animation and I think the animation in those episodes is gorgeous. Just the colors and how the mouths move and the rain that one time rly gets me good and I just rly appreciate it haha. 

Speaking of the CGI show have you seen any of the lost stories or whatever? they were just the story reels, because honestly they might be one of my favorite things. Not only does grievous appear in like, 2 of them, btu he looks scary as hell, like a mix between clone wars grievous and ep. III grievous and the basic facial expressions they tried to show are priceless.

Yeah honestly the 2003 cartoon was good all together, there wasn't a whole lot of dialog for them to make the show boring or mess it up somehow, it was just a bunch of short stories. I also love the animation for that show, when they worked really hard to make things nice it was gorgeous and you didn't even care when it's obvious that a particular background thing was drawn in 2 minutes because it's funny and it is mostly used when they really want you to focus on the main character in the shot.

Oh no I loved how Grievous was in III, I just wished I could of seen some of the crazy action in the cartoon in glorious CGI haha.

Well the reason they killed Grievous was because that was what ended the war, and then they just killed off the rest of the separatists that could of made it so the war wasn't ended with anakin because it was a cheap way out. But I think maybe Grievous was running, something that is a recurring theme with Grievous is that he underestimates his enemy, as far as was known at the time with the cartoon and everything was that Obi Wan hadn't ever fought grievous face to face really, unless I'm forgetting something. Grievous had run from that first fight on the invisible hand by smashing the transparisteel window with the electrostaff avoiding fighting all together. Then on Utapau he was on his wheel bike while Obi Wan was chasing him. The platform the Grievous died on also had his personal ship, 'The Soulless One'. Maybe he was actually trying to escape Obi Wan but since Obi Wan was able to keep up with him he had to fight him. Then when Obi Wan of hanging on the ledge Grievous underestimated him once again and thought he was just an easy kill in the situation he was in at that moment. Sadly this Underestimating lead to his demise.

I wish they hadn't of killed him, but that's mostly because he's my favorite character haha!

I loved him in the comics omg

but yes they could have made it to where instead of fighting obi wan off, he knocked him back and took the opertonity to get away. 

Sorry for the hella short reply, I am exhausted.

Which Comics are you talking about? I've only been able to get my hands on the comic where there's those kids who manage to somehow get away by pure luck and the one about his backstory. I haven't been able to read the 2003 style comics, obsession, or the new Darth Maul one that came out with him in it.

And no I understand if you're exhausted haha
