ouaw ep 45 spoilers - talking about Kremy's spirituality

something about Kremy saying "And I believe in the Baron, that's why made the deals I did. Because when I die I want to have a good time too." absolutely shattered me.

I'm projecting here but why is that sentiment all too familiar? That nasty feeling you sometimes get when you're really struggling and that maybe once you're on the other side it'll all be better, struggles gone, a reward for all you've been through. Out of all the party members and generally out of everything, I never thought to consider Kremy as a genuinely religious/spiritual but it makes sense. "When I die I want to have a good time too" is so heartbreaking, just thinking what is behind that, how much he must have and still is struggling, how difficult things are for him and yet he has these beliefs, he has, deep down, compassion for himself and so refuses to abandon hope. He believes in himself, that he'll do good enough, that him trying his best will grant him the grace of being a part of the Baron's eternal celebration.

Like I never thought I'd see religious trauma in Kremy, which in hindsight is really stupid because it genuinely is right there in his backstory and Garou and you just need to stop to consider it and yeah,,,,

*intense projecting* but I was raised rather strictly christian, I have a lot of luggage from that, but I've found my path and calling in being pagan, norse pagan exactly, and the way Kremy spoke about the Baron somehow really resonated with me and my beliefs of Valhalla. And also wanting to fight with and for Odin once Ragnarok comes, which others may consider idk gruesome or sth, it's not an eternal bliss like in others religions, and so the element of Kremy talking about how being turned into swap spirits or sth maybe isn't the worst, reminded me of that as well.

Idk his story to the statue really gave me a lot to think about. Also I feel like we (in the fandom space from what I've seen) don't talk at all about Kremy's spiritual side?? I think we should, I think it's such an important and interesting part of his character!!

yeah anyways, to finish this, once again, wow I can't fckn belief me and Kremy Lecroux are literally the same person like it stopped being funny. /gen /pos

Oh yeah another ouaw doodle dump 🗣️🗣️

Ft some gender swapped Gideon and kremys (kremy is wearing a wig I swear im not stupid Ik she wouldn’t be able to grow hair 🙏🙏)

In many instances, people who have experienced a long-standing trauma find safety in similarly hostile environments. The familiarity is comfort. They know what to predict and expect, even if it is a bad thing that they are expecting.

This was put to words by a talented author

This book is meant to help me stop getting distracted and give me a schedule and yet hear I am doodling the gang on the front. I’m doing really well, thank you.

Do you all think that Kremy "left his small town because he felt he was destined for greater things and began to discover and embrace his queer identity in the process" Lecroux would enjoy Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan

I love you Gideon Coal

[lunalikestowriteanddraw]

Actually yknow what, Kremy calling Gideon “Gideon Nathaniel Coal” whenever he’s pissed and going Annoyed Housewife Mode made me consider something

1) How did Kremy learn Gideon’s middle name? Like, sure, it might’ve just come up in conversation, but like…would it? How many times do you introduce yourself to someone using your full legal name? I imagine it’s almost never, not in a casual sense.

2) Did Gideon even HAVE a middle name beforehand? I mean, not everyone does, and I doubt his Pa would’ve thought up a middle name. If the answer is no, then either;

A: Gideon chose to give himself a middle name to remember his Pa (idk if we ever got an actual name for his Pa or not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case)

Or

B: the infinitely funnier option, which is that Kremy just chose a random ass middle name to use for Gideon the first time this has happened (bc based on Gideons reaction on the first time we heard Kremy use Gids full name, this is probably not the first time Jremy has done this), and ir just kinda stuck

POCKET SIZED KREMY??????

Idk just the imagery of Kremy using Gideon for warmth

Like yeah okay we’ve all thought of this cause duh alligator man and fire man go good together blah blah

But the imagery of Kremy slinking out of his tent on a cold night out in the woods. He and Gideon have been traveling together for a good while now; started just as the weather was wearing off from winter, the warmth coming back into the world. They’ve been traveling together for so long the weathers turning bitter.

Their fire had long since been extinguished and the wind whips around their makeshift campsite. Even despite the trees, the cold air rushes through like waves, chilling Kremy’s already cold blood to ice. No matter how deeply he burrows into his tent, swathed in his blankets, he can’t seem to retain any of his heat.

I just I magine him pulling his thickest blanket tighter around himself as the wind beats against his shivering body, looking towards the second tent in the small clearing. Debating with himself; “Would he even be okay with this?” “It’s just for warmth.. He’s a god damn walkin’ heater, it only makes sense…” “But he didn’t sign up for THIS-“

Another wash of icy wind sweeps through, making Kremy flinch and pull the blanket just the smallest bit closer. He concludes as he walks to Gideons tent that, Gideon in fact DID sign up for this when they created their contract. Gideon is Kremy’s bodyguard, and in return Kremy feeds Gideon and gives him a percentage of whatever cons he helps Kremy pull off. Kremy can’t feed and pay him if he freezes to death in his tent overnight.

Imagine Kremy creeping towards the tent, seeing a soft glow emanating from inside. He can see from a crack in the tent flap the embers in Gideons hair and beard. Even in his sleep Gideon burns hot. Opening the tent flap is like opening the door to a stove; hot air rushing out at him due to the colder air outside. The warmth blankets Kremy and he can’t even begin to think about stopping the sigh that leaves him.

I imagine Gideon as a light sleeper. He never slept well while he was held on the train; hell he couldn’t even sleep laying down without his arms being hung in the air thanks to the chains attached to the car walls.. But he could and did sleep on the train. The constant noise and rattle of the cars, the sound of the fire he constantly stoked, the voices and laughter of those awful hobgoblins, the trains blaring whistle.. it was all his lullaby for years. Despite how horrible those years on the train had been, the first night he tried to sleep off of it, he laid awake in bed until sunrise.

Gideon couldn’t hear a thing over the sounds of the train. There really wasn’t much else to hear expect for the sounds stated above. There wasn’t much else to worry about. But outside of the train and it’s constant noise… there was so much more. Gideon knew what to expect from the train.

The sigh wakes Gideon from his sleep. His eyes pop open, immediately alert as he quickly scans around his tent. It takes nothing more than a second for Gideon to spot Kremy and relax the tension that flooded into his shoulders.

“Krem? Ever’thin’ ‘lright?” He’d ask, his voice thick with sleep as he moves to sit up in his bedroll.

Kremy would hesitate to open his mouth a moment, having forgotten to actually come up with what to say to Gideon. He could just be upfront and explain that he’s cold… But making up some long winded excuse that doesn’t involve looking weak willed has always been Kremy’s go to.

When he does actually open his mouth to start on the second option, another blast of cold air hits and makes Kremy shiver hard, eyes squinting against the torrent of sharp winds. He ducks deeper into his blanket cocoon, anything he could have said blown away with the wind.

Gideon watches this and immediately gets the picture here. Gideon can be.. a dense man. He’s not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer ya know. But he cares for Kremy. Kremy’s done so much for him over the time they’ve been together.. He’s given Gideon some kind of purpose. He’s given Gideon a sense of belonging. He’s given Gideon a constant companion… He gave Gideon that little comb, the first thing anyone has ever given to him of their free will.

The least Gideon can give back is some warmth.

“Geez, man, get in here and close that behind ya, would ya? Lettin’ all the heat out.” Gideon would say, moving to lay back down again while shuffling to the side to allow Kremy into the warm spot that had been beneath Gideon.

Kremy blinks once, twice.. Unsure. A smaller gust beats at his back, forcing Kremy into the heat of Gideons tent. He quickly secures the tent flaps closed before he practically dives into the warmth Gideon has offered.

Kremy curls up on the warm patch of tent ground Gideon had just been on moments before while Gideon is radiating heat to Kremy’s back that he can feel even through his blanket burrito. Kremy closes his eyes, more than content with the way these events have gone.

That is until he feels Gideons hand on the blanket. Kremy’s eyes pop open again as he hears Gideon speak,

“Share. You’ll get warmer faster and stay warm.”

He feels Gideon pull one side of the blanket out from under him, moving to pull it over himself before he shuffles back closer to his original spot. He’s practically pressed against Kremy’s back, hardly an inch separating them. Kremy stiffens up like a board, waiting with almost bated breath to see what comes next… But Gideon just settles behind Kremy, not touching him but just a hairsbreadth away from it…

“Can’t have you freezin’ on me now…” Kremy hears Gideon mutter behind him.

“Yeah… who would feed ya if I did?”

hey chat what if clementine was real

quick clarification!! there's a running gag in ouaw that torbek is in a supposedly failed ish relationship with a cardboard cutout so i was like 'hey what if she was real and not made of cardboard and they were happy' because dammit he deserves it

[scrawnyghstts]

I'm on ep 39 of ouaw and I'd like to offer you Gideon holding Kremy back from feeding Frost to the shadow magic, because Frosty said that Kremy should just buy a new hat rather than get his back from the hag

AND JUST A SHOT OF THE ENTIRE PARTY TOO LMAO THIS IS PERFECT

Frosty is giggling, Gricko looking at Frost like "oh holy sht no way he said that" and Torbek's absolutely terrified (oohh frostyyy why would you sayyy thattt!!)
