History Webcomic / Grant

* MuggingTheMonster: Grant gets mugged, and eventually stabbed. However, one of the muggers gets a broken nose in the scuffle.* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The titular Grant is quite unlike the classic portrayal of werewolves in many ways: First, he has learned to satisfy his HorrorHunger without injuring his meal. Also Grant has the ability to transform into his werewolf form at will, and can even only partially transform himself if he so wishes (such as just his arms, hands, or chest) -- the story even goes out of its way to show that the moon has absolutely no bearing on Grant's transformations whatsoever. It should also be noted that Grant retains his personality, having full control of himself in his werewolf form, instead of becoming feral / animalistic. Furthermore, although Grant ''does'' have a weakness to silver, it's nowhere near as lethal to him as it normally tends to be for werewolves in general.

* SaltAndPepper: White Grant paired with black Randy as a RuleOfSexy. Though this becomes [[InvertedTrope inverted]] when Grant changes into his wolf form with his black fur that makes Randy the lighter one by comparison -- more like Dark Chocolate And Milk Chocolate.

* MuggingTheMonster: Grant gets mugged, and eventually stabbed. However, one of the muggers gets a broken nose in the scuffle.
* NiceShoes: Grant gets a pair of steel-clawed combat boots from Bent that eventually become part of his signature ensemble.

* ClusterFBomb: The moment after Grant reveals to Randy that he's a {{Werewolf}}:

--> '''Wolf Grant:''' "So I'm still your boyfriend?"
--> '''Randy:''' "Look, Grant. I'm gonna need some time. This is kind of a big deal. You can't expect me to just.."
--> ''(Scene switches to 11:34 with Grant and Randy in bed having sex.)''

''Grant'' is an ongoing [[HomoeroticSubtext gay]] {{Werewolf}} WebComic by Creator/CaptainGerBear. It is the backstory of his signature werewolf character, Grant, starting with the character's childhood, having been abandoned at birth and raised in an orphanage. The story continues as Grant, in his early teens, is finally adopted by a kindly couple. As a young adult, Grant strikes out on his own and finds himself treading an oftentimes difficult road of self-discovery -- dealing with his werewolf nature, exploring his attraction to other men, and experiencing the joys of love [[spoiler:and the agonizing pain of loss]].

--> '''Bert:''' "I'm [[SoProudOfYou real proud of you]] Grant. I can't wait to get to know your boy."
--> '''Grant:''' "Thanks, Dad."
--> '''Bert:''' "So, you boys [[UnusualEuphemism beat cheeks]] yet or what?"
--> '''Grant:''' "Dad! What the hell?!"

*** The previous "Ambiguously Bi" part of this trope is officially jossed as [[WordOfGod Word of God]] has since revealed that Bert is in fact entirely straight. A likely explanation for the above conversation is that Bert was just being playfully crass, ribbing Grant about his love life -- or perhaps Bert simply has [[AutismInMedia no filter]].

* [[AmbiguouslyGay Ambiguously Bi]][=/=]AmazinglyEmbarrassingParent: Grant's dad Bert, much to Grant's embarrassment. After Grant's adoptive parents figure out that Grant and Randy are a couple:

* BigBeautifulMan: A few examples, but especially Grant in his wolf form. One reader commented that wolf Grant's stomach was "imminently [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=zerbert zerbertable]]". Also, Grant's adoptive dad.

* RealMenWearPink: When Grant and Randy go out on a date at a carnival, Randy wears a pink polo shirt. Bent sports a pair of pink camouflage cargo pants and dyes his hair the same color. Also in a bonus Flash dress-up game that is canonical to the comic, there are several outfits that Grant can wear that are pink (and even somewhat girly).

* ExplicitContent: Well, [[AvertedTrope almost]]. Though this comic is most decidedly NotSafeForWork, it tends to avoid explicit depictions of sex or MaleFrontalNudity. It is more R-rated than NC-17-rated.

* [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Friendly Neighborhood Werewolf]]: Emphasis on friendly.

* TheCameo: Generally, if someone has drawn fanart of Grant, they may expect a cameo of their own character in one of the future pages. There have been a few cameos already (example below in CarnivoreConfusion and HorrorHunger).

Also Grant has the ability to transform into his werewolf form at will, and can even only partially transform himself if he so wishes (such as just his arms, hands, or chest) -- the story even goes out of its way to show that the moon has absolutely no bearing on Grant's transformations.

Furthermore, although Grant ''does'' have a weakness to silver, it's nowhere near as lethal to him as it normally tends to be for werewolves in general.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The titular Grant is unlike ordinary werewolves in that he has learned to satisfy his HorrorHunger without injuring his meal. Also Grant has the ability to transform into his werewolf form at will and half transform only parts of his body such as his arms, hands or chest.

* MaleFrontalNudity: Despite [=CaptainGerBear's=] early declaration that the audience would never actually see Grant's genitalia, he eventually relented, depicting Grant in full-frontal nudity on the "epilogue" of page 63 (alongside Bent). We're also treated to a stark naked Apex on a bonus splash page at the current end of the comic.

So far ''Grant'' is 66 pages long, with [[ScheduleSlip extremely irregular updates]] (sometimes going ''years'' between new pages), but has already accumulated a modest fandom. It can be read from [[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/98025/ the first page here,]] [[http://captaingerbear.deviantart.com/#/art/Grant-01-125689766?hf=1 here,]] [[http://grant.the-comic.org/archive/ and here.]] . All NSFW pages require site membership and enabling of mature content to view, so '''this page may have links to NSFW content if you've already got an account'''. It should be noted that while ''Grant'' has a hard R-rating and presents a number of sexy moments it is ''not'' outright pornography. The creator has even gone on record saying that his goal for the comic is to tell a good, mature story -- the eroticism is an afterthought.

* TheBear: Modern-day Grant certainly qualifies, and Grant's dad Bert, while not [[AmbiguouslyGay certainly bi]] ([[WordOfGod he's not]]), has the body type. Later on we meet Bent and some of his coworkers at the Alcatraz gay bar, most of whom fit this trope as well.

* MaleFrontalNudity: Despite [=CaptainGerBear's=] early declaration that the audience would never actually see Grant's genitalia, he eventually relented, depicting Grant in full-frontal nudity on page 63 (alongside Bent).
