share jerigrim thoughts (demand not request <3)

Oh hey Tumblr decided not to notify me of this! How fun!

Anyway, Jerigrim.

There's of course the number of popular dynamics they fulfill, Stormcloud x Sunshine, Socially Awkward x Awkwardly Social, Big and Bulky x Scrawny Beanpoll, "If I don't talk about my problems they'll disappear" x "I do! I'm sad...", "He makes me laugh" etc

But there's also a bit of canon content. Unfortunately, in canon, Yorgrim doesn't actually get too emotionally close to anyone in the party, which I do believe is a coping mechanism. But of those in that party, I do see his relationship with Jericho as one of his strongest, aside from Briggsy, of course. Jericho is one of the first to extend a hand of connection to him, while it's clear the others are a bit offput by his standoffishness and delayed entry to the party.

Jericho is making strides to ensure he's included from as soon as Lockwood Manor, lagging behind to make sure Yorgrim is okay, trying to help him cope with the panic of seeing the horrific crooked spirits. And in turn, Yorgrim warms up to Jericho quickly, easily entertained by his jokes and accepting his awkward attempts at help.

And then there's the part which I point to for a lot of my Briggrim material as well, being Yorgrim's death. Of the four remaining party members, it's clear that Briggsy and Jericho were hit hardest by his demise. It could be chalked up to Jericho not being used to loss, but whenever what happened that night at the crooked house is brought up, it's always Yorgrim's name that comes up first for both of them, despite the fact that Farryn died as well.

Regardless, all of that can validly be seen in a platonic light. So now we move on to headcanons on why it would work.

First of all, look me in the eyes and tell me either of these two men are neurotypical. You can't. Because they are two sides of the same autism coin. They bond over being horrible at social cues and not understanding why civilizations work the way that they do, Jericho provides his optimistic perspective on things Yorgrim initially considers frivolous. Neither of them have any idea how "dating" or "being in love" works but boy oh boy do I enjoy being in this mans company basically 24/7. Jericho is also deeply and horribly touch starved and this very large man is a very good hugger so that's a plus.

They are both so, so sad. The thing is, both of them have very similar traumas. They both see the outsider perspective of each other's backstories and understand the other wasn't truly at fault for the actions of people they were supposed to trust. Yorgrim knows Jericho can't control Virgil, and he can't truly be held solely accountable for the actions of a literal demon possessing his body. Jericho knows that Yorgrim didn't single-handedly murder everyone in his village, and that in reality, he was manipulated by his cheiftain and has been forced to shoulder the burden of blame ever since. Both of them understand that the other is not evil, just a man burdened with a duty they were never given a chance to deny nor understand. But they both harbor so much guilt and self-loathing for the very thing the other can plainly see as out of their control. The parallels are sickening.

I could keep going but I am sick and also exhausted.

poll idea which rarepare (JeanGrumley, Daienie/Dasiy x Queenie, and another Rarepare u like) is the silliest/most likely to happen/gayest (u can pick which one, idc)

Have a good day/night

-@masonlecroux 🪬🗡️

oh this is a fun idea, I'm gonna add a few rare pairs I know that a few friends of mine (and I as well) like :]

Yknow, I knew of the Yorgrim x Briggsy ship, but I didn’t fully get why it was quite a big ship other than Briggsy calling him “Yorgi” almost immediately after meeting him

But during their funeral for Yorgrim, and how Briggsy was one of the most distraught about his death (I mean, they all were, but Briggsy and Jericho were hit especially hard by the death), I think I understand it now. Even just from a silent storytelling standpoint.

guys

guys i need to share my Twin Peaks x Edge of Midnight au. I dont know if anyone in the avantris fandom watches twin peaks so this is probably for a very niche community but I have to share bc im so normal rn

- Marius: just your normal guy in Twin Peaks, except sometimes appears in Cooper’s dreams to tell him clues. Dream Marius knows a lot more than real Marius, but he definitely has unnatural instincts when it comes to the town

- Lethica: a watercolor painter, friends with Josie, is very caring and does her best to help with the investigation. She’s pretty mysterious and sometimes only gives info when she’s asked

- Farryn: lives in a cabin in the woods, friends with the Log Lady, always gives Cooper a homemade charm to protect him. Knows whats going on with the owls and doesn’t like it

- Yorgrim: the guy no one wants to mess with, despite being chill. Can commune with spirits and knows about the Black Lodge but doesn’t wanna talk about it because who the hell does

- Jericho: the town’s performer! Gets along very well with Cooper and despite being a bit paranoid is cheerful in friendly. Except also he’s very possessed but Virgil who knows about Bob and Mike (and maybe who killed Laura) but taunts Cooper endlessly with keeping that info out of reach

- Briggsy: a fisherman who’s friends with Pete and lowkey thinks he’s a pirate. He knows there’s nasty stuff going on in the town but really its non of his business

- William Van Brunt: the town sexyman, has dirt on literally everyone and has ties with Leo and Hank. Despite being an asshole and a flirt and generally unhelpful with the investigation, he’s mostly uninvolved with Laura’s murder other than knowing stuff about Leo and possibly Ben Horne

bunch of legends of avantris doodles i never posted

(minor spoilers for edge of midnight, once upon a witchlight, and icebound) only just started icebound but im having a wonderful time last three images (all in a row) are pure shipping nonsense dont worry about it

[loa-bracket-battle]

You know, I’d like to make a suggestion for a crack pairing poll, but the only crack pair I can think of is Briggsbek and maybe Chuckles x Torbek.

oh I am prepared for this! there's been lots of talk of crackships in the Artist's Box lately, so I have a bunch :]

ADDENDUM TO THE BIT ABOUT CANON CONTENT: That fucking scene where they're escaping the horrible flesh mine and Yorgrim has to carry Jericho out because he's completely exhausted. Yorgrim requesting that Jericho hum a tune because he finds his music soothing and comforting. Yorgrim taking the extra effort to position Jericho in a more dignified manner when they sit down to rest so he's more comfortable. If they aren't gay they at least have a certain distinct bond and you can pry them from my cold dead hands.
