[proboblynotstriaght]

Day 4 of Loa-tober and I get to write about my fav and project all my gender issues on him <3

I've really enjoyed doing these and I hope to be able to keep up for at least most of the October month, although expect lowered quality work on Sundays because holy shit do I have a lot to do this Sunday.

Day 4 : Fave (Kremy) vague spoilers for Guys night

Kremy never really cared about his body when he was a child, back when he was called something different, something no one remembered anymore.

His father had wanted a perfect little daughter who would be obedient and wear new dresses and would one day be the perfect house wife to man that would be hand picked by the man of the house.

And then he left and never looked back.

|||||||||| blinked confusedly at her Memaw “is that why papa left?” She asked “Because I don’t like wearing dresses?”

His Memaw laughed, even as young she was she could tell that Memaw was bitter about it “Your Pappy left us because we were poor” She spit “He was poor and he couldn’t handle that, the coward” The old woman gently pet the soft scales on |||||||||| head “his leaving ain’t have nothin' to do with you cher”

||||||||||'s Mama wasn't home all that often. too busy holding down two jobs in order to make ends meet to raise her kids proper. But when she was home she loved dressing |||||||||| up in cute dresses. Kremy remembered excitedly dressing up in a pink, frilly dress, with glitter and everything. |||||||||| loved playing dress-up in these pretty clothes.

"Don't you think you look pretty ||||||||||?" Her Mother asked. |||||||||| nodded and beamed at the reflection in the cracked old mirror. "Your Pappy bought this dress for you y'know" |||||||||| shifted. The older woman's tone had changed, it was almost-bitter and mostly-wistful. |||||||||| didn't like it. She started trying to wriggle out of the dress.

"Let's talk a walk outside ||||||||||, show off your fancy pink dress" All of a sudden, |||||||||| panicked. He could feel every stitch and seam of the dress rubbing uncomfortably against his scales chafing them. His Mom grabbed his arm as he squirmed, trying to get out.

"What's wrong ||||||||||, are you ready to go outside?" It wasn't really a question as |||||||||| was suddenly being dragged towards the door.

"NO!" She cried. "I don' I don' wanna go out- outside" For |||||||||| it was just dress-up just a game. Not something to actually go outside in. In a pink dress that wasn't made for lizardfolk that had a connection to his father that left. "I don' like the dress, I don't- I don't wanna-" He cried as his mother continued to drag him towards the door.

"Oh shut up!" his Mama yelled "You liked the dress a minute ago! Why don't you like it now!" She shot |||||||||| a withering gaze "God your just like your father" |||||||||| was confused, she thought her mom still loved her dad, that's why |||||||||| was dressed in the clothes that he bought so long ago. "Maybe if you just wore your dress like a good little girl your father would still be here!"

Memaw always smelled of what she was cooking. She loved to cook big hearty stews and stir frys, and of course her amazing gumbo. |||||||||| dryed her tears in his Memaw's apron and took in all the smells.

"I don' wanna be like my father" |||||||||| whispered into fabric.

"You, ain't nothing like your father" His Memaw pulled |||||||||| into her lap

"But, but Mama said that he left- he left because I wasn' girly enough"

His Memaw got a faraway look in her eye, "Your Mama is still caught in the past, she doesn't want to blame herself so she blames you" His Memaw looked back down at ||||||||||. "Would you like to hear a story cher?"

|||||||||| perked up, tears now forgotten. Memaw always told the best stories "Yes!" he squealed "Yes please Memaw!"

"Alright, alright, settle down, and let me tell you the story of a little boy in a town called Agwe, except the town wasn't called Agwe yet, and that little boy didn't want to be a boy at all..."

And ||||||||||'s Memaw told her story of how she was born in the wrong body, "I made a deal with the Good Baron cher, and no one knows who I once was"

|||||||||| was silent for a little while. "Memaw..." |||||||||| hesitated, "I don't think I want to be a girl"

"An' you don't hafta be a one hun, when your older you can make a deal just like I did and you can give yourself a name that's actually yours, not one that your good-for-nothin' father gave you"

-------

Kremy twirled around in his red dress "Whaddado fellas!" He stumbled a little bit, he drunk a lot of alcohol. "How do I look?" He grined

"You look like a woman you just got murdered!" Gid laughed, "Ya got fake blood all over ya!"

Kremy laughed a twirled around in the mirror a bit more, and readjusted the silicone breast that was, to Gid’s credit, covered in incredibly tacky fake blood. Even now wearing a dress was just a game to him, but now it went by a different name, Drag.

Kremy made a deal with the Good Baron just like his Memaw before him, and while his life was messy and hard he was living as himself, in a name he really picked for himself.

Kremy was a man who was free.

After transitioning Kremy successfully gaslit his whole hometown into thinking he was born a man, including his mother and father

[finnbin]

ok who the fuck was going to warn me about episode 46 because what the fuck oh my god

art and spoilers for once upon a witchlight beyond!!

Frost's biggest fear in the carnival ride was OUTLIVING ALL HIS FRIENDS AND BEING LEFT ALONE and that literally happened to him what the fuck I'm not okay

bonus fluff :)

[wordy-little-witch]

Once upon a witchlight incorrect quotes hours let's GOOOOOO

This is a mix of an incorrect quites generator and my own brain being silly so take this with a grain of salt and/or kill me(/hj)

Frost: I like your new pants!

Torbek: Thanks, Torbek got them for 50% off!

Gricko: I bet we’d all like them better if they were 100% off. *winks*

Torbek: The store can’t just give away clothes for free.

Kremy: Thats’s… not what he meant, Torbek-

Torbek: Torbek doesn't have anything against stealing, but that’s a terrible way to run a business, guys-

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gideon: Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse.."

Frost: how am I supposed to live, laugh, love in these conditions

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Kremy: I'm a nice person, but I'm about to start throwing rocks at people.

Gideon: only one of those statements are true

Frost: I'll gather the rocks.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gricko: How would you like your coffee?

Torbek: As dark and as bitter as Torbek's soul.

Gricko, shouting to Kremy by the coffee pot: I need one vanilla latte with extra cream and sugar!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Torbek: PLEASE EXPLAIN TO TORBEK WHAT UPSEXY IS!

Gricko: Could you rephrase the question, in like, two words maybe? :D

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Torbek, texting Kremy: I’m a theif.

Kremy: Thief.

Torbek: Theif.

Kremy: I before E except after C.

Torbek: Thceif.

Kremy: NO.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Torbek: *is wearing silk pants* How does this look?

Gricko: Like its slips on and off really easily.

Torbek:

Gricko: No, I didn't mean it like that-

Gideon: We know what you meant.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Frost: *on the phone with Gricko* I can’t talk right now, I’m doing hot girl shit.

Gricko: You’re pulling Oreos apart and saving off the frosting to make a mega Oreo, aren’t you.

Frost: Maybe.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Torbek: *walks into the room*

Kremy: They’re covered in blood again. Why is it they’re always covered in blood?

Gricko: Well, it looks like it’s their own blood this time.

Torbek: Torbek's tube cracked :(

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gideon: Yeah, a partner sounds nice, but a supreme enemy you can make out with in secret sometimes sounds a lot more hardcore.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gricko: Why are your tongues purple?

Torbek: Torbek and Frost had slushies. Torbek had a blue one.

Frost: I had a red one.

Gricko: oh.

Gricko:

Gricko: OH.

Twig:

Twig: You drank each others slushies?

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Torbek: Torbek can't take this anymore, someone needs to take Torbek out!

Gricko: In a dating type of way, or an assassination type of way?

Torbek: Torbek don't know, surprise Torbek!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gideon: Thank you all for coming.

Torbek, wearing a hospital gown: When Torbek heard mister Gideon couldn't get laid, Torbek dropped everything and came straight here.

Gideon: Well, I couldn't imagine anyone else being part of the "Fuck Gideon Task Force".

Kremy: we're literally all right here-

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Torbek: This food is too hot... Torbek can't eat it.

Gideon: You’re hot, and I still eat you.

Everyone at the table: *silence*

Kremy: SERIOUSLY?!

Frost: One dinner... I just want ONE DINNER!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Torbek: Heyyyy, Torbek is going to take a shower. Does anyone wanna come too?

Literally any of the guys: Torbek. If we ever say no to that question, you need to obliterate us, because we’ve obviously gone crazy.

Torbek: this got very intense very quickly and Torbek doesn't know how to handle that.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gideon: As main top in this relationship, I think we should-

Kremy+Frost: whooooaaa! Hey! Not cool, man!!! We do that too!!!!

Gricko: I don't care one way or another but I'm fine either side :DD

Torbek: Torbek can't believe you're all pulling rank on Torbek :'(

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gideon: I sleep with a gun under my pillow.

Gricko: I sleep with a knife.

Kremy: Both of you are pathetic.

Gideon: Oh yeah? What do you sleep with?

Kremy: Torbek.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

[Pre-poly, after ep 19]

Torbek: Hey guys...? Have you seen Torbek's penis??

Kremy: your- your what now??

Torbek: Torbek's penis!!

Gideon: I have heard a lot of wild ass things come outta your mouth, Turkey boy, but this'un is... yeesh

Torbek: Torbek's penis is gone. Torbek... thinks he had it last night? Maybe? But Torbek was very tired so... Torbek doesn't know :(

Gricko: I did find a silicone packer with rainbow glitter stars-?

Torbek: THANK YOU, GRICKO, TORBEK'S PENIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO TORBEK'S STRENUOUS GRIP ON MENTAL WELLNESS!!!!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Torbek: Torbek is here, Torbek is queer, and Torbek's chronic joint pain is moderate to severe *flicks sunglasses down*

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gideon: wait- oh holy shit guys! Y'all listen up!!

Kremy: what the fuck are you doing, Gid-?

Gideon: Kremy. Krem. Boss. Listen.

Kremy: I'm listening, what??

Gideon: if Torbek is trans-

Kremy: he is.

Gideon: yeah, but if Torbek called someone daddy-

Kremy: *confused lizardfolk noises*

Gideon: would that make them.... trans-parent? :D

Kremy:

Gideon:

Gricko: *falls from a rafter overhead, crying with laughter*

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Frost: Here's two facts about me.

Frost: 1. I hate people.

Frost: 2. I like my people, against my better judgement

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gricko: I’m quick at math.

Frost: Ok, what’s 38 times 76?

Gricko: 24.

Frost: That wasn’t even close.

Gricko: But it was quick.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gideon: You know, it’s fine to admit you were wrong.

Kremy: *Sipping their drink after accidentally adding salt* I just like the way it tastes.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gideon: Frost likes to say ‘you can be part of the problem or part of the solution,’ but I happen to believe you can be both.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Torbek: Holy shit, Mister Gideon, do you know what this means?!

Gideon: Kid, whenever you start doing this, nobody knows what you mean.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Gideon: If you put a milkshake in one yard and crack open a cold one in another yard, which yard would the boys go to?

Kremy: Schrödinger's boys.

Gricko: FUCK!

Torbek: What about cracking open a cold milkshake?

Frost: As we all know, the milkshake brings the boys to the yard. The presence of the boys is a prerequisite for the cracking open of a cold one, but cold ones do not have any inherent boy-attracting abilities. Milkshakes, however, do.

Frost: All else being equal, the boys would proceed to the milkshake yard. While it is possible to announce the presence of cold ones in the hope of attracting some boys, the pull of the milkshake is much more powerful by comparison.

Gideon: ...

Gricko: ...

Kremy: ...

Torbek: ...

Frost: Mind you, all of this nonsense hinges on whether or not the boys are back in town.

[girlkissergideon]

ive been inspired

i could share this in trans only spaces but no one would get it but ppl here will

i csn hesr these in his voice

[vaguely-concerned]

I think the most defining thing about kremy as a person is that he desperately wants to be a man with a mustache -- while being physically, biologically incapable of producing hair follicles lol. like no wonder he takes to drag so much, that's basically most of what he's already doing with his outward identity! and the physical aspect of that is smaller, I feel, than what he's got going on psychologically. he's someone who doesn't want to be -- can't be? -- who and what he is, and who can't be what he wants to be because what he wants to be doesn't really exist, so he lives his life somewhere on the border between them. the almiraj might be no mirage, but the perfectly clever and charming and utterly untouchable version of kremy that kremy would like to be -- instead of the vulnerable neurotic mess of longing and fear and striving for control he clearly actually is -- absolutely is, I'm afraid. it's just a shadow on the wall with nothing real to cast it.

(all of this also goes into the many Gender and trans readings of him too, of course! men will say they’re fighting demons and the demons are trying to live up to a very specific brand of toxic masculinity they've sort of invented for themselves lol)  

the one deep down entrenched assumption we see kremy make again and again especially interpersonally is that if he's open with who he really is and what he feels or thinks at any given time, he would be revealed as fundamentally unacceptable and at best discarded and abandoned, at worst endangered. (it's literally spelled out with the cyclops in the witchlight carnival, but you see him go through this process all the time through the rest of the story too! being unable to lie or dissemble was a catastrophic event in this dude’s inner landscape. I’m sure that means nothing) and because he is also frequently kind of awful this assumption may not be entirely off base some of the time lol (deeply affectionate), but I think it comes from a much deeper place than that. kremy is ashamed of where he's from and who he's been -- that dirt poor wide-eyed kid from the swamp who saw all the fancy gentlemen in town and Wanted. wanted to be that, wanted to have that power, probably some confused sexuality want mixed up with it all as well for spice. wanted more than anything, perhaps, to BE something, because next to that he feels like nothing. which means abandoning the earnest kid who guilelessly loved unicorns and his meemaw and cooking without meaning to impress anyone and silly soft things in the swamp he came from while he went off to the big city and modeled himself after men like garou. (and his relationship with garou surely also had some effects on just how shifty he's become at intimacy too, aside from the building a facade of it all, that might be some secondary damage that was not his fault nor in his control at all)

even when he's acting seemingly shamelessly, he is fundamentally a shame-based psychology, is what I'm trying to get at. the only times he lets his thoughts and emotions out into the world unfiltered is when he's brought to a point of frustration where he throws up his hands and abandons manipulation or subtle machinations as an interpersonal tactic -- see: the several times he argues something with frost or gricko and then finally admits 'I literally don't actually care about this! you guys figure it out and deal with this if it matters so much to you I'm going to bed ffs' haha. his depression shines through when he’s too tired to hide it, especially in the later episodes. every open emotion is an admission he really didn't want to make and thinks is tactically disadvantageous for him. (and sometimes when he's being really for real he'll even admit to being worse than people gave him credit for, like when he admits he suspected mr. witch and mr. light were capable of doing something really really bad to torbek and handed him over anyway. kremy being that blunt and open is like. remarkable and also a sign that he's actually taking it seriously, for all that he's also revealing himself to be even more of an asshole than previously suspected lmao. that's not nothing, for kremy. BUT at the same time he is also the person who cried to see a unicorn broken and abused, and who saw something in gideon upon meeting him that no one else did or cared to at that time and offered him genuine companionship and support — as the story goes on he’s starting to admit to more things about himself, the bad and the good.)

all of which of course also is why he's having such a hard time being honest with gideon about how he feels (and the sheer immensity with which he feels it too, probably) -- that's incredibly vulnerable for a person who’s built himself up around the idea of never being vulnerable. ('i'm just a shadow, nothing you do can really touch or hurt me.') And yet if there’s peace and redemption to be found for kremy, if only within his own soul, between these versions of himself, I feel that discovering and accepting his own capacity for loving someone else so much that it transcends all selfishness or fear would be integral to it. (he loves gideon. So much it makes me a bit dizzy you guys)

[crustycrackhead]

I’m thinking, lizardfolk to non-lizardfolk, they look the same aside from like wearing gendered clothes and also SIZE. I’m thinking alligatorkin, like Kremy Lecroux, males are HUGE compared to females… Kremy is like so femme girly pop core to other gators with how small he is. Runt of the litter core, also trans to me if god was kind.

Kremy can be trans in all the ways: trans masc, trans femme, trans… also genderfluid… he would be so fun during Mardi Gras and also at the gay club.

Also like would Kremy bellow? Or would feel that too barbaric for him lol, thinking “people bellow for ME”

Kremy… he would’ve been a great 1930’s lesbian

[loa-bracket-battle]

not really related to the polls, but do you have any fun queer headcanons? always looking for more to steal

YES I have so many

genderfluid Kremy, uses any pronouns but usually sticks with he/him cause it's just "easier"

big fan of he/him butch lesbian Gideon (with top surgery)

either agender or bigender Jornir, he's also oriented aroace

Torbek is transfem, she just doesn't know it yet

Shepherd is transmasc

so is Pyke, and he's also somewhere on the aro spectrum

actually, every Andy character is trans

Briggsy is ace and pretty neutral about gender, but doesn't really use a label for it

Lethica is also trans

every campaign is a polycule, and those in each that aren't explicitly together are in QPRs

Bitsy is trans, Hazel and Peggy are lesbians, and all 3 of them are together

[zuccinniii]

ME??

writing Gideon x Kremy x Torbek fluff with transgender Torbek experiencing his period- now no longer having to deal with it himself, having two partners who only wish for his comfort and security to support and help him through this?

No way, only crazy people would do that.

(It's coming out soon)

((This ship is never going to leave my brain, also trans Torbek supremacy))

[sillykitty9000]

Gricko wears a standard binder and uses it safely

Frost wears his dysphoria hoodie

Gideon is a sports bra warrior

Torbek uses the most unhealthy binding techniques you've ever seen

Kremy is an alligator

[ouaw-facts-i-just-made-up]

When it comes to gender dysphoria, the Krew all have it in varying levels.

Gideon is straight up just chill. Like he prefers and enjoys being a man but he almost exclusively feels euphoria, or lack there of, rather than dysphoria. Yeah, his body is a man's body because he is a man. He has men's tits because he is a man who has tits. So on, so forth.

Kremy meanwhile has experienced dysphoria in the way that he wants to be a masculine person who sometimes dresses feminine, rather than a feminine person who sometimes dresses masculine. He worried he was actually just a cis woman for a while after he transitioned but then someone referred to him as a woman Once and he got very upset about that.

As mentioned in a previous post, Frost Does Not Care. He doesn't have dysphoria. He doesn't have euphoria. He thinks this is because he is simply better at focusing on what's important, and The Gender will be experienced when there's nothing better to do. He Is Wrong.

Gricko has the amount of dysphoria that a lot of people assume comes with being trans. Hates being referred to as a woman, dressing more fem (will still do it for the bit but it's not part of his identity like it is for Kremy), all that stuff. He got all the transitioning done already though so now he can be your average middle aged father, as many trans men aspire to be. Although, he doesn't really care if he's referred to gender neutrally. Anything other than she/her triggers no dysphoria.

Torbek, no matter what way you assume he transitions, is like of you made gender dysphoria a person. Honestly, he may have sucked up all the others dysphoria to keep for himself. Someone get this bugbear some help.

[meraarts]

Toying with the idea of writing a little trans!kremy fic

[goosecastle41]

Kremy and Gideon are T4T because Gideon is a trans man and Kremy had his egg broken due to all the drag he wore at the Witchlight Carnival

[that-darn-clown]

I have to get up at 6 but the ouaw gang has me in a chokehold. Please... save me trans kremy...

[chaoticcutiewhirl]

I love how Kremy is Nonbinary and Ace colored

And Gideon gets to ge an honorable Lesbian

Aro Extended Frost hehehe

And Torbek is like very muted trans... Transfemme "Gorebek"... speaking of to rant:

Edge of Midnight spoilers ahead [29+] (as well as Beneath Dark Wings [33+])

Jericho still handles the idea of plurality so much better tho like omg the contrast is Jericho is the Host and Anxiety holder, Zurn gets to be the gatekeeper and protector and perhaps the original trauma holder and either way has Exomemories, and after Yorgrim's death you get a split into what may be true Raum, an anger and trauma holder, pr it could be a remant of Pazuzu, a factive introject of sorts in being a reforming from the demonic remants. Either way, Jericho has a lot less of the stereotypes of plurality while still being plural coded making Edge of Midnight a fucking amazing piece of plural representation. Case and point when the party came out of the barrows with Jericho and Zurn switching to handle a stressful situation, Zurn knows he has the repetoire and general demeanor to be of help and not be panicking, so he forces himself to the front to protect Jericho. The morally grey to good alligned high general from his last appearence in BDW returns fully to wrote his wrongs and overall this arc shows this but Zurn is more Zurn now than he is Raum and the Taroka card reading has Jericho mention something else, I assume the demonic essence Raum had, a split.

In contrast Torbek was originally implied to be schizophrenic coded, touching the subject lightly but never deeply. And then his reintroduction occured... "Gorebek" came into being and this is treated like as Plurality in the sense of media that bears into the stereotypes of creating violent alters and borderline goes more into demonic possession as a trope than Jericho does with Virgil/Raum who is coded as plural in an amazing light. I know the Witchlight party is supposed to be a less morally upstanding group while EOM has mostly moral greys given their genres, but given what goes on with Torbek it is disappointing.

It has been 4 months since we realized we were plural, and 3 of us in the body love Legends of Avantris, but plurality altered our perspective heavily. Torbek no longer feels like sweetly pathetic boy and more so midtier effort idea of something that Andy is still figuring out. Meanwhile Jericho feels much closer to home and if Mikey decides to have a session frame where the scarecrow system were to be too blurry to tell who is fromting, I will scream because Micheal Gilder is a master storyteller

Carnivale Lecroux colourpicked pride flags :) free to use

i dont think gideon is a lesbian thats just the only flag i could make from his colours but he does love women so for this month he can be an honorary lesbian

i also couldn't find transparent pngs of Frost Gid or Kremy so i made them myself, theyre below the cut and also free to use
