The tales of Percival Grimsby are designed with an adult audience in mind and are deeply rooted in satire. The creators of the Runiverse, a diverse collective of authors, wish to express unequivocally that discrimination in any form is abhorrent and utterly rejected by our values. The character of Percival Grimsby is intentionally flawed and his actions and viewpoints are exaggerated for satirical purposes. They do not reflect the opinions or beliefs of the authors or the community surrounding the Runiverse. This narrative is a mirror to the absurdity of prejudice, meant to provoke thought and discussion on the topics it touches. Reader discretion is advised, as some themes and language may be offensive or disturbing.
The Runiverse is a rich tapestry of tales, drawing from a multitude of genres and influences, aiming to explore the complexities of morality, identity, and redemption. It is our hope that through satire, we can illuminate the darker aspects of our nature and, in doing so, find a path to understanding and empathy. Thank you for engaging with our world.
Talib was choking the chicken, in his grandparent's basement, when he found a hidden scroll: The Adventures of Percival Grimsby. It read:
Allow me to tell you a story. This is the story of the man who ate 146 Palestinian apricots. In the dimly lit streets of London, where shadows danced with the eerie glow of gas lamps, there lived a man whose appetite knew no bounds. His name was Percival Grimsby, and his insatiable hunger led him down a path shrouded in mystery and danger. It was whispered among the cobblestone alleys that Percival had once devoured an entire orchard of Palestinian apricots in a single sitting—a feat so extraordinary that it had become legend in the bustling metropolis.
As the fog rolled in from the Thames, enveloping the city in a cloak of uncertainty, whispers spread like wildfire through the taverns and parlors. Tales of Percival's gluttony grew more extravagant with each retelling, and soon, his name was synonymous with both awe and dread. Yet, lurking beneath the surface of his fame, there lingered a sinister truth—a truth that would shake the very foundation of society and unveil the darkest secrets hidden within the heart of Victorian England.
