Gideon Coal - Tumblr Posts
*talking on the phone*
Kremy: Remember how I said that Gideon and I were gonna have a calm night out for once?
Frost: Yeah…
Kremy: Well, we’re in jail.
Frost: *hangs up*
Bitzy: Pyke, say you’re sorry to Gideon.
Pyke: Oh, I won’t do that. Apologizing is for the weak and wrong, which is why Gideon should do it to me, because they are weak, and wrong.

My poor attempt at a montage to the best worst dnd bugbear of all. Every image is a poor copy of the shots from the gorgeous animations complied into one 2010's wallpaper inspired montage to the man himself
When all your recommended shorts are of Mace absolutely losing his mind:

When all your recommended shorts are of Mace absolutely losing his mind:


"They called me a 'work horse'"
(Just a little angst idea I might turn into something later)
Maybe this is 3:30 AM brain, but nobody ever talks about how Mace from LOA pulls some of the biggest power moves (whether that be accidental or intentional)(spoilers for Icebound and Once Upon a Witchlight):
Gideon's entire character backstory is one power move, because yeah trauma that occasionally gets mentioned and affects his motives, but he literally took the chains that imprisoned him, upgraded them, and then slaughtered his captors with them. And he still wears them to this day and uses them to kill and control people!
Also his entire interaction Lorna and pulling the move with her tea kettle, right in front of her, while his husband tries to charisma check his way out of the situation, dude. (Kept vague on purpose, but if you know you know)
Also Taishen, he baby, but he also looked at an eldritch being that is far older and far more powerful than him and any of his friends, that has done absolute unspeakable things, with most of his friends on the verge of death, and tried to defeat it with a 4th level spell he had never used before and w o n.
Dudes, this man rolls absolutely terribly, and still manages to pull of these power moves and I love him for it.
I like how Gideon is all suave and confident and very flirty with women, but as soon as you put a very pretty man in front of him, he suddenly melts into a pile of goo
You can't tell me that Gideon Coal, Gideon Coal, does not have single, piercing, tattoo, and/or some type of scar somewhere on him. Maybe this is just my personal headcanon of him having a branding scar talking, but that man could not have come from that train completely unscathed, I don't care how strong he is.
Also you can't tell me that he did not at least pierce his own ears and makes his own earings out of scrap metal he's found (and possibly makes Kremy a ring or two from time to time, but that's neither here nor there). Tattoos, I think he would get them, but I also think he has accidentally burned away a majority if not all of them because he got angry, his skin hot too hot, and the ink burned/boiled away. So that one I will accept not being there more easily. But that man has to have something, and I won't be convinced otherwise
Gricko is a "The glass is half full" kind of guy.
Frost is a "It doesn't matter how much water is in the glass, what matters is how well the water is filtered. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people die from diseases that they contracted due to poorly filtered water" kind of guy.
Gideon hears that and decides to drink the glass of water anyways because he is a "My stomach is literal fire, any actual diseases will just burn away" kind of guy.
Twig is the "Don't be a little b*tch Gideon, drink the water" kind of gal.
Kremy is secretly worried for his husband but is also the "What the hell, Gid?? We could've sold that glass to a buncha scientists and made an easy electrum piece or two" kind of guy.
And Torbek is depressed because that was his glass of water.
Also there is no "glass half empty" kind of person, because (affectionately speaking) nothing can ever be that simple with these chucklef*cks
Gideon clown murder manslaughter counter:
(Will edit as the campaign continues and I'll try to keep an accurate lore list)(spoilers obviously)
Current count: 5
1. Chuckles - Gideon punched him and he laughed until he died, and then was fed to the pigs
2. Klutzy - Gideon launched a soy based alternative meatball and it killed Klutzy on impact
3. Bozo - Gideon wore a hand puppet but the man had a felt allergy or possibly was stabbed by the real sword the puppet had (probably the allergy)
4. Thacko - During the reception of Gideon and Kremy's wedding he had the groom's dessert which was peanutbutter pie. Thacko was deathly allergic to peanuts and was slowly suffocating to death for an hour which only Gricko could hear because someone played the cha cha slide during it
5. Unnamed court jester of Downfall - Gideon launched a ceramic pot with plant people in it out a window and it hit him square in the head. Gideon does not know of his death yet

Man, Gideon be looking a little weird nowadays

Never forget the fact that Gideon writes in a journal every day before bed. Also never forget the fact that he will instantly forget all the tragedies of his day when writing in the journal and only write about the positive stuff. Say it with me now, we love a man who tries to see the good in a difficult situation.
The thing is I don't think Gideon is aware hes in love with Kremy. That man is oblivious to everything even his own feelings. He didn't have a normal childhood and never figured out how to discern his romantic feelings. As far as Gideon's aware he and Kremy are just super close.
Kremy knows tho he's just king of #repression
Fifi Nyx! (I can't spell it 😭)

Strong Queen!
I said i'd do it and i did!
