speaking of “grendel is gay” — please, just say gay. don’t call him queer or mlm or “achillean” or whatever if you’re referring to him and him alone. he is canonically homosexual, he is a gay male, and labeling him under a term inclusive to bi/pan people is potentially misleading or deceptive, as it does not address his sexuality with enough definence as to waive the idea that he may also like women, somehow — he doesn’t. he is not someone who loves men additionally or ambiguously, he is someone who loves men Exclusively, and Yes, specification matters, Thank You Very Much.
