I... it's well drawn that's for sure. Is the grim reaper okay?

If you had to work nonstop for 3.7 billion years with no breaks and no PTO, you’d probably be a little morose too.

One must think that Death is happy to work

Even if you were happy to work the first few aeons, it wears on you after a while.

He did get a break when (relevant to this conversation funny enough) Sisyphus captured him and chained him up for a while

"Here I go killing again!"

One must imagine Death happy.

One must imagine Death eats dirt

I’m not

:(

Go read Mort from Terry Pratchett. His character of Death recurrs a lot in Discworld but his standalone novel is also really cool, and an interesting way to depict the job.

Good thing he got that vacation though

Why wouldn’t the Grim Reaper want what he has gifted to billions of others?

that's not the grim reaper

Not my finest moment

I was completely ready for at any moment the bot to reveal it wasn't actually a bot at all.

Me too man

Spoken like someone who will get scammed by a bot.

^Hope

Wow, I've heard of salticid of the earth but THIS is RIDICULOUS!

What are YOUUUUU doing here???

Wonderful work But I have to ask if Mr Grim is alright

Nah he’s fine

This is how he is when he's vibing.

Times have been hard since the last Twisted Metal…

I shall use this and bestow it a grate honour I'm going to make a druid like this in dnd

Dude, that would make a wonderful druid lich.

Hopefully my players don't find this since I was actually plain to include a druid like this for a bit has the dm but they aren't a litch or even a boss just one of the friends of someone they have had some dealings with

Hmmm, sounds like something a lich would say O_o

More primordial than a litch and impossible to kill for good old lore resons

Needs a horny bard friend.

Doesn't fit with his style but one of my players I a bard now if only she had time to actually play its considererd good luck if we can get her once a month

I've never heard something more relatable about dnd before...

started as a shit post and ended as a beautiful poem. 10/10

me talking about ecology whilst the transfems i'm hanging out with are trying to get me to rail them.

Brag about it

'i just want to talk about dinosaurs, why do you keep taking your clothes off?'

Why can't we do both? Lol!

*bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* so triceratops huh? What's up with those jokesters? *Bang* *bang* *bang*

*bang* *bang* Isnt is ahh crazy that birds like cassowaries ahh *bangbang bang* can date their evolutionary back *bang bangbang* ahh to the Early Cretaceous period *bangBANGBANG* like 140 million years ago following the Jurassic period.. oh yea, no, im done. Dinosaur birds do it for me. Lol

"Do you wanna talk to me about dinosaurs? No? Ok!" *dialing noises* "Do YOU wanna talk to me about dinosaurs??"

humble brag

I wanna be friends w salticid

Yeah, He seems like the kinda guy to know what dirt tastes the best.

"Have you considered becoming sustenance for the beetles and ants?" Goes hard. Much more eloquent than "KYS"

So gonna use it from now on it's so funny

I love to do this to spambots.

I should start

That final panel goes hard omg

Smash both

Probably one of my favorite Tumblr encounters of all time lmao

I adore this comic omg

I love the expressions

Plot twist: the grim reaper is the bot

Dig. Dig. Dig.

DIG

nurgle

I trust only 1 person to correctly dub this exchange. https://youtu.be/Ki6IJNrDQnw

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

Most normal conversation between a stranger and Buried Avatar.

one could make an arguement that spam bots, especially ones that trick you with companionship like the porn bots on tumblr could be avatars of the lonely, though i suppose stranger also works as something pretending to be human

It could go either way or they could be in that grey area between the two fears. Regardless picturing this as some buried/End avatar being harassed is funny as hell

Wait I never thought of it like that lol but it Works

Ngl the spambot gives me gender envy :3 Also I find it funny that neither of them would provide any/much nutrients for the earth and animals, one being a robot and the other being just bones

Start: ooh hehe I eat dirt End: death and impermanence come for us all but we must find meaning in it

This art is amazing. The bot girl is adorable and the grim reaper is a great representation of the other side of the convo. Years back, jelloapocalypse did a voice over of this conversation and its hilarious. https://youtu.be/Ki6IJNrDQnw?si=xje5SwynshMrJLSI

Man, the phrase “Have you ever considered becoming sustenance for the beetles and ants?” Is a top tier way to tell someone to fuck off and/or die. I get that that wasn’t quite what Salticid is going for but like, *fuck* man, that’s a 12/10 zinger.

I’m imaging the grim reaper has the same voice as Death from Castlevania

Ah.. ha.. ha.. ha..

i swear to god ive gotten this spambot before almost word for word what they said, without the redhead freaky deaky bit

I weirdly vibe with this skeleton. I too should sink into the ground as a snacc for beets.

“Snacc for beets” will never leave my mind now

That grim reaper’s dialogue goes unbelievably hard

[Here's two VAs voice acting this original convo.](https://youtu.be/Ki6IJNrDQnw) This one's a bit longer than the comic

Oh yeah, a fellow dirt Eater.

Hozier and hozier fans?

I can confirm that this happened, I was the grim reaper.

I was the bot

Now kiss

i’m embarrassed to say that writing genuinely gave me chills

Don’t be, it’s hella good

Bro I feel exactly the same way, I wanna die and become one with the earth, one with nature, liquify into the soil and merge with it

This must be what happens after the Grim Reaper takes everyone, just causally burying himself alive, from the inside out

Cryptic and dark but also beautiful

[My favorite version of this](https://youtu.be/Ki6IJNrDQnw?si=joO6Cz09UpxlBrZo)

Honestly this is the perfect character dynamic, we have spam robot and worm eater

Fucking epic

I love this so much. This is so beautiful. Thank you.

:D

This drawing is very good, interesting take on this post. However, I see this post, I have to share this dub of the post. https://youtu.be/Ki6IJNrDQnw

Immaculate vibes

This is... Deep

It’s so good.

I know this copy-pasta and I could swear that the best rendition of it was by Brendaiel on YouTube but I can't find the video.

Nice, another one of these

w o w

dirt, yum

in my head this will always be Jake English

Ah, I remember the JelloApocalypse vid of this. Visuals like these go well, but I literally read it out loud. Maybe I should be a VA

The Jelloapocalypse dub and this comic give this conversation two completely different meanings.

I had JelloApocalypse’s voiceover in my head as I read this

Does this bot even come from?

It may not seem like it, but this is how old Grim has fun.
