My Latest Hyperfixation is on Wistoria: Wand and Sword, Here's to Hope it doesn't End up too-

2 Days Later: WHERE'S THE FUCKING WILL X ROSTI CONTENT. WYM PEOPLE THINK ROSTI IS A GENDERBENT CLONE OF ELFARIA, THAT'S JUST FUCKING LAME. LET MY GAY ASS BOI WHO (and you cannot convince me otherwise) COURTS WILL LIKE A DRAGON WOULD AND BE HIS OWN FUCKING PERSON

i now have copium for your theory to be true thank you

so! new theory about my current favorite fictional homosexual- Rosty Nowman. we all know by now that he has some kind of connection to Elfie, with the popular theory being that he's a kind of genderbent clone.

I don't like this theory. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, as he is pretty distinctly his own character and person within the series. this theory takes away his agency in the story, and while I can see how him being a mask for Elfie can be appealing to some the idea it might be true leaves me feeling vaguely disappointed. besides---he's already somewhat a victim of the "bury your gays" trope from what I've heard (haven't gotten to that part yet). taking everything else from him would make him feel hollow, as opposed to the mysterious and affectionate queer-coded roommate that I love.

In lieu of this theory I strive to propose an alternate. we all know by now his name is a pun on "frosty the snowman". this is often used as evidence for the previous theory, as (pretty famously) frosty the snowman was a snowman brought to life by magic. I'd like to take the parallels further than that. what if he was a creation of ice and snow, but just like frosty he had a vibrant personality of his own? the ice clones are only the first of twelve spells, and it stands to reason Elfie could have experimented further with creating ice homunculi.

I don't have the time as of now to collect solid evidence, but I feel like this satisfies every part of me against the popular theory and explains many of the same things the popular theory does. Rosty is still his own person, but he could have still been created by Elfie in an attempt to keep Will safe. it would also explain the connections between will and Elfie, at least somewhat.

it also creates an interesting character dynamic---how do you act when you were made as an act of love for another person, meant to keep them safe, happy, and loved? do you feel jealous? do you wish you were your creator when you learn how much your person loves them?

generally, I think this theory is a lot funner. it also makes me imagine Rosty in a Frankenstein costume which I may or may not realize.
