#krampus rotg

[frosted-night]

Back at it again with the rare late night thought. Spirits being opposite/having opposite natures and being each other's "shadow" are two different experiences.

Jack wouldn't immediately hate a Summer spirit, nor would he loathe a fire elemental but perhaps it also depends on a spirit's personality. Perhaps they see their natural opposite as an annoyance but it pales to their "shadow".

A spirit's "shadow" is everything they are not. Their center, their core being is completely mirrored by the other. For example, Sandy and Pitch are shadows of each other beyond just nightmare and dreams. They are each; tall and short, talkative and quiet. It's a quiet rivalry that goes beyond their work. The two mirror and complete the other in a balanced sense.

A more cooperative example is Nicholas St North and Krampus. In the past they were like Sandman and The Boogeyman but the balance they brought as each other's shadow grew to be necessary for the their survival. They are an example of a codependent shadow dynamic. They keep the status quo while not ending the life of one another.

Not every spirit has their own shadow spirit but it can lead to interesting results when one does. They could find balance and develop something more akin to a silent alliance or a relationship, perhaps they drift apart or in the worst case scenario it ends in murder for dominance of their sphere of influence.

Being an opposite doesn't immediately make the two spirits enemies..but the same cant be said for shadows.

So since William Joyce confirmed that Krampus does exist in the rotg universe, how do you think he should be portrayed if they ever made an rotg sequel? Personally I think he should be written jus like death in pib, an unstoppable force of nature villian. Or maybe seen as a villian at first, but then slowly as seen as some mysterious anti-hero. I’d like to see the movie explore north and Krampus’ relationship and how they met. Maybe there should be a movie short on who Krampus was before he became the Christmas demon.

From my understanding, Krampus was initially a creepy demon bound to serve the church, scaring or kidnapping children for the sake of obedience. This can be interpreted in many different ways for modern age, and also for a potential Rise of the Guardians sequel. Krampus could be a complex good guy, scaring children for fun but also because he knows a lot of them are brats who need a reminder to mind their manners. Krampus could also be a bad guy, chained and forced to terrify children for the sake of making sure they don't end up like him.

Maybe he's neither good nor evil and just hates bad kids.

Either way, I think North would be uneasy around Krampus.

In my head, I see Krampus as a carefree charismatic guy that took it upon himself to scare kids into submission, but North never asked him to. North often scolds him for doing it, insisting coal is a fine punishment, that kids don't need scaring, and his wonderful magical toys would be enough to change their minds into being good. Krampus disagrees and thinks North a sweet man, but naive.

Pitch and Krampus would probably hold respect for each other, but Pitch is probably annoyed Krampus piggybacks off North's belief since he comes hand in hand with the holiday. Krampus probably knows this and takes advantage; maybe he even snaps back cheekily at Pitch, saying Pitch stole Sandy's dreams and became the Nightmare King where before he was just the boogeyman so he too his piggybacking without realizing it. Pitch would be embarrassed and insist it's different. (Perhaps there's a small rivalry between him and Pitch)

Krampus knows he makes North and the other Guardians uncomfortable, but he doesn't care. If anything, he relishes their awkward fumbling and distaste for him. Krampus would be really physically friendly with people, very touchy, and because of that, Jack probably wouldn't like him. Krampus would act too friendly with Jack, thinking they're both pranksters keeping kids in line, but Krampus has Jack all wrong.

Something like that, maybe?

[famdomnerd123]

So because tumblr won't allow me to ask @frosted-night a question, I'll just post this and hope he reblogs. Some people think Krampus is the son of Hel, the norse goddess of death. Krampus may be related to a fucking norse god, making him more op than both pitch and mim. What do you think is North's reaction when he found out that Krampus' mother is Hel? Oh and if krampus isn't related to hel whatsoever, how did krampus get people to think he's Hel's son?

[bubblebooming]

Concept's

making some concept designs for rise of the guardians, you all probably know what I'm talking about, but like...what if like...Krampus?? I'm mostly doing this for the fanfiction I'm working on right now, but I wanted someone to step in for a particular scene with jack who was kinda new to him, obviously, there isn't a wide range of characters and with the storyline, I was like 'oh right, he's staying with nick, so let's put in Krampus!' and I just had this incessant need to design him before I write him. and of course...like always...I made it gay. Nicholas now has his own personal tw!nk :)

there is a version of him without the hood, he has long hair, horns, goat-like ears, whatever, I hate the drawing itself not the design (even tho it was literally the first drawing out of all the concepts) soo here ig

i was trying my best to keep with the overall style of the film.

[safyresky]

I'm going BONKERS and can't focus on SHIT this week so plz enjoy this list of wip ideas that I have that Will Not Let Me Rest and Focus on CS

AU in which Winter and Blaise disappear and Jack becomes the legal guardian of an INCREDIBLY angry 1400 year old Jacqueline and 300 year old Fino and Fiera who seem to be stuck in their terrible two hundreds STILL and are on FIRE and have a penchant for blowing shit up all. the. time.

Smile Shot in which Jack and Jacqueline have to chase a piece of fractured time that is hell bent on killing them for some reason through multiple timelines to defeat it, and get stuck with their younger, pre-day of darkness selves 👀👀👀

A series in which the youngest Diteline kid, Robyn, makes a funky cool friend and they go on all sorts of magical adventures that get them both into heaps of trouble. The friend is 100% human. Robyn can set things on fire. Shenanigans ensue. Diteline are acting Cupid and Jack Frost at this point, for maximum shenanigans

AU in which Jack isn't the BAD guy but is INCREDIBLY chaotic. Why? Because in this AU, in fact, the WHOLE REASON I want it to exist, is because I want to see a version of tsc3 in which Jack sees Santa's loosing sight of what's important and decideds "hey, let me help him by forcing him to use the escape clause, taking his place, so he can learn a Valuable Life Lesson about family in a very Dickens-esque way. This results in a scene where Jack explains this plan to Jacqueline after enacting it (so he's Santa) and Jacqueline just stands there, hands on her hips, absolutely furious like, "YOU THOUGHT W H A T?" (tho it does end with Jacqueline being like do u think it'll work. And Jack being like I know it will. And Jacqueline being like FINE. UGH. WHY are you LIKE THIS but agreeing to help nontheless)

Story based on when I thought the series was going to be called "Clause for Celebration" in which, to find a replacement Santa, Scott has a Santa-Lympics where the Legends pick a champion to claim the title of Santa Claus. Unfortunately, he learns too late that he can't pick Charlie. Jack also can't pick Charlie bc he gets BANNED from picking a champion COMPLETELY by the dude who is making sure it's all "fair" (most likely a mischievous evil fairy). Jack finds a loophole--Legates are technically Legendary and by those rules, can pick a Champion if they'd like to. Charlie is a school teacher and is upset about the Santa-Lympics bc he cannot participate. Danielle also teaches and knows about the Santa thing and is encouraging him to do it anyway. She's made friends with the quirky new librarian, Ms. Winters, who has these AMAZING fantasy stories during story time, and tells Charlie to ask her and pretend it's a story. She'd dig it. Ms. Winters does, in fact, dig it, and tells him he should volunteer anyway and maybe someone will sponsor him in a very hunger games-esque way because surely, there are more Legendary figures than just the ones he knows, right? So he does. Guess. guess who sponsors him. GUESS. Shenanigans ensue. Krampus is the BBEG. Diteline get eaten by Krampus. Jacquie commits atrocities. Charlie defeats Krampus. It's great. This one's too developed for my own good, holy hell.

RotG Crossover where the Legates get sucked into the Guardians universe bc of a dumb Pitch plot. Toothiana thinks Myles is the cutest thing! Jack is sus of Jacqueline. North thinks Charlie is v tiny and funny for a Santa. Charlie really wants a Yeti. Xander is super excited to interact with someone who knows SSL (sand sign language). Our Jack pops into the universe to bring back Jacqueline (and the others too, I GUESS) without telling the rest of the Council. When he finally finds his sister a scene ensues where Pitch is like, "YOU'RE Jack Frost. and YOU'RE Jack Frost (points to Jacqueline). ARE THERE ANY OTHER JACK FROSTS I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?" and our Jack goes "Hi." Pitch whips around and gets socked in the face by him. Shenanigans and angst ensue, the latter especially on the rotg side of things >:)

[cornerofhell]

I know that we have the pre-existing holiday characters (and adjacent stuff like the sandman and tooth fairy) what are some characters you think would be interesting to see....rotg-ified i guess

OOOOOH HOO HO HO

Krampus (I have to see just how creepy they could make it like they did Pitch)

Mother Earth (The beauty on Tooth shows me they'd definitely be able to pull it off)

Father Time (Maybe related to Sandy? Sands of time?)

[big4girl]

I just thought of a random Christmas thing for Rise of the Guardians. What if Krampus is a thing, but he's not as bad as they make him out to be. Like he just pulls pranks on bad kids and those pranks have lessons on what they did wrong. However, this doesn't mean he isn't some you want to mess with. It's precisely why, Pitch is actually afraid of him.

That’s interesting! I don’t know much about Krampus but I think he’d be an interesting villain in the rotg universe. I think him and Pitch would probably get along well because of the fear factor in both their stories, however Pitch is probably more nuanced than Krampus would be.

[rosettastarlight]

I know the Rise of the Guardians Fandom is dead, but since it's almost Christmas...

Since Pitch exists as the Boogeyman and is basically the bad counterpart of Sandman, does this mean Krampus exists too in their universe? Because this makes me wonder if there are others who represent the opposite of the Guardians powers and their "center". Except unlike Pitch, they don't cause trouble because they know and understand their purpose and they don't necessarily want to hurt children, but they know they have to be the bad guys in the story so children can appreciate the good the Guardians bring about.

Basically think of the phrase of how sometimes fear is your friend. Sometimes every now and then fear is necessary, even if no one likes it. Good and bad must balance each other out, and if they ever were to include an idea like this, much like how Jack's lesson was to teach how to believe and how to remember to have fun every now and then, theirs is that sometimes the bad are needed as well to remind people the importance of joy when you've been sad, wonder when you've been uninspired, and hope when you've lost it, and to treasure memories when they start to fade, to remember to have fun if you've had to grow up too fast and had to be serious.

Too Much, My Love

Fandom: Rise of the Guardians Pairing: Jack Frost/Pitch Black, Nicholas St. North/Krampus Tags: Humor, Fluff, The Talk, Embarrassment, Anxiety, Mild Angst, Krampus has better things to do than this, But North asked nicely so Rating: T Words: 2,545 Summary: North has some tips for Jack on how to date the enemy.

The thing is, Jack hadn't meant for anyone to know.

For @rotgbingo 2021: Dating The Boss On AO3 Here.

For @cynical-bonehead, who gave me the original idea to do this <3

“Jack.”

North’s warm, heavy hand settled on Jack’s shoulder and instantly filled the Guardian with dread. Normally his touch was a comfort, but combined with the tone of his voice and just that one word, his name… Jack pressed his lips together and fought the urge to run.

Whatever it was, North would be kind.

“Yes?”

“We must talk,” North said, sliding his hand down Jack’s back and steering him up the stairs toward the workshop. “It is time.”

This did not bode well. ...Actually, this bode perfectly neutral. Every time North took Jack to the workshop, it was for some serious topic of conversation delivered in North’s particular brand of intense, but it usually worked out okay for Jack. It would just be, you know, intense.

Jack took a breath and reminded himself that he hadn’t done anything to annoy North in at least a month and the man’s patience was near infinite so Jack had no reason to be concerned now.

Jack’s entire self pep-talk flew right out the window, along with his sense of how the world worked, when North opened the door to reveal who would be with them for today’s lecture.

He was tall. So tall. Distinctly reddish in hue, with a standing posture that filled Jack with foreboding just from the shape of it. North’s workshop was the absolute last place Jack expected to find Krampus.

How did he even get in here with horns that big?

North calmly closed the door behind them, and it never occured to Jack that Krampus might not have been invited. The only spirit, to Jack’s knowledge, to make it past the yetis was Pitch, and although Jack didn’t doubt Krampus could get in if he tried, the idea that he would choose to do it stealthily and wait patiently for them to discover him was not on brand.

Also, North didn’t immediately start yelling. That was a huge hint.

Krampus smiled and Jack took a step back. It was only half-voluntary.

“Hello Jackson.”

Wait. Jack’s brows came together and he took his step forward again. “That’s not my name”

Krampus’s whole face tilted, and Jack regretted his step all over again. “Are you sure?”

“...I was two seconds ago.”

“Jack!” North’s voice caught his attention and the tone was so relaxed and friendly that despite the horror in the corner, he felt his muscles loosen out of the knots they’d worked themselves into. “This is what we must talk about.”

Jack was so confused. “Is Krampus joining the Guardians?”

That was definitely a no, because both North and Krampus burst into laughter and Jack felt really stupid for the whole minute it took them to catch their breath.

“Then what?” he asked, irritation creeping up his shoulders at the fact he had to ask at all. Why was North leaving him to guess? More importantly, if North was bringing him here for a talk, why did it feel like Jack was being left out of a big joke?

“No no no,” North said with a shake of his head. His hand landed on Jack’s shoulder again, and this time it felt comforting and inclusive and instantly lowered Jack’s hackles down from high alert. “Is a good joke, Jack. Krampus is not Guardian. He is husband!”

Jack stared up at North, his brain refusing to comprehend. The room sort of darkened at the edges and Jack heard but didn’t really feel the crack in his voice when he asked, “What?”

North moved away from Jack and stood next to Krampus on the other side of the room. It helped—Jack suddenly felt like he could breathe again—but also hurt—what was North doing with a terrifying Anti-Santa spirit all the way over there?—and left Jack more uncertain than he’d been even when he outright rejected the words coming out of North’s mouth.

“We are husbands!” North said again, and at least Jack felt like he heard him this time. “This is how I know, and why I must be who talks to you.”

Jack… just did not understand. “About what?”

North looked at him with concerned eyes in a determinedly jovial face. Great, now they were both confused. “Pitch Black of course!”

Jack was always cold, so he was usually numb to it. Now, the unnatural chill of shock and fear dropped hard over his shoulders and settled heavily in his stomach. "What?"

North reached for Jack with one large hand, but they were standing too far away for him to reach. His smile dimmed as concern took a stronger hold of his features. "Jack? Are you alright?"

"Yeah, of course," he said on instinct. Why wouldn't he be alright? He couldn't feel his hands or feet right now and the workshop was looking a little gray around the edges, but Jack was fine.

North came closer still. He obviously didn't believe Jack. Jack wasn't sure Jack believed Jack. "You look pale."

"That's normal," Jack insisted. Which, it was, so… "Why do we need to talk about Pitch?"

North nodded, back bent in the sort of crouch one assumed when trying to convince a wild animal that you weren't dangerous. "You and him are dating, no?"

The chill flashed to heat in a bare second. Jack's entire head felt hot. "What? No. What?"

"It is okay," North assured, lips pulling into a tentative, calming smile. "I understand. You see? Because I am dating malicious spirit, too!"

Jack needed to sit down. There was a tabletop behind him. Jack sat on that.

He felt it when his hand knocked over a prototype toy plane on its way to his staff, and Jack considered that a good sign even if he didn't react to pick it up again. He leaned on his staff instead, and focused on breathing.

How did North know? They had been so careful, only meeting in deserted places or enclosed spaces. There should have been no way to find out. If North knew, did that mean…

Jack's head shot up. "Who else knows?"

"No one!" North said too quickly. Then, "probably Sandy."

Jack felt betrayal for all of two seconds before he realized Sandy could read dreams and… okay, yeah, that checked out.

"Who knows about you?" It felt fair to ask.

North nodded shortly. "Sandy."

Seemed legit.

Jack felt himself calming now that the initial shock had passed. North wasn't accusing him of anything. He really did seem to want nothing more than to talk about it.

"Okay…" The problem was, Jack still didn't know what there was to talk about. "So?"

"So!" North said with a flourish. Clearly he'd gotten his confidence back. "I want you to know you can talk to me!"

"About?"

"Pitch!" North leaned forward like he was telling Jack a secret, but the volume of his voice made secrets impossible. "Bad guys can be frustrating."

"Tell me about it," Jack deadpanned.

"Is that what I am?" Krampus said, instantly reminding Jack that he was actually going to be here for this whole conversation. "A bad guy?"

North grinned at him. Krampus might as well have been the only person in the room, by the way North was looking at him. Jack got the impression this was a running joke between them. "The baddest."

This was a side of North Jack hadn’t seen before. But why would he? This was North’s private life, and although Jack knew he was important to North, he wasn’t this kind of important to him.

Wait a second.

Jack’s hand landed hard on the tabletop in indignation. “I thought I was top of the naughty list?”

Krampus snorted a laugh and it was the most unsettling sound Jack had heard in a long time, but North’s eyes were back on Jack and his hand was waving dismissively in the air. “Different kind of naughty, Jack.”

“Augh!” Jack pressed both hands to his ears, then his eyes (which did nothing), then his ears again. “Is this how every kid feels when they think about their parents having sex?!”

Instead of the exhausted sort of patience Jack expected from such a display of childishness, North’s eyes grew large and wet with adoration. “You think of me like parent?”

Jack paused his dramatics to really look at North. Did the big guy really not know? Jack’s hands fell away from his ears as he said, “Yeah. Of course.”

The next thing he knew, North had Jack in a tight hug that was all warmth and excitement, with no room in between for things like doubt or air to breathe. Jack’s staff was somewhere on the floorboards behind him, but Jack’s feet weren’t on the ground to help him find it. Jack focused on holding onto North instead, and on the fact that North apparently hadn’t known the role Jack imagined for him in Jack’s life.

“I did not think you wanted parent, Jack,” North said without putting him down. His arms loosened a little, but that was as far away as North was letting him get for now. “Three hundred years is a little old for coddling,” he teased.

Jack laughed. He could admit the situation was a little strange, but they were spirits. They couldn’t help that. “You’ve still been around longer,” he pointed out.

North nodded in that sagely way he did and set Jack down on his perch. “Even better that I be the one to talk to you, then.”

Jack was going to wholly ignore that for as long as he could, because parental talks with their children about dating were never not horribly embarrassing for the kids. He leaned around North’s bulk to look Krampus dead in the eyes.

“I’m calling you Krampapa now.”

It was only fair. He was married to Jack’s dad, right? That’s how that worked.

Krampus didn’t look even mildly upset, which sort of mildly upset Jack, actually. He lifted his horned head in a regal yet foreboding way and simply said, “Acceptable.”

...Man really knew how to take the fun out of things, didn’t he? Jack was going to have to try harder.

After all, they were like family now.

North was beaming at the pair of them, and that made Jack feel better about everything instantly.

“About Pitch—”

Well, there went that.

A sudden cold wind in the workshop shut them up, and while Jack looked around to find the source, he noticed Krampus staring at a very specific spot, like he already knew what was coming. He probably did.

“Now,” a voice echoed hollowly off the wooden walls at the same moment that the lights dimmed in the workshop, and Jack knew instantly who it was. How could he not? “Why did you ask me here, Krampu—”

Pitch Black stopped short barely a second after materializing and stared with wide eyes at his audience full of Guardians.

He whirled on Krampus. “Is this a trap?!”

Unfortunately, Jack’s tone dead, “Yes,” coincided exactly with North’s empathic, “No!”

Pitch sized them up. Krampus wasn’t giving anything away, so Pitch had to make due with the easier targets in the room. Jack figured his defensive posture, curled half-behind North on the worktop, probably gave everything away.

He turned back to Krampus. “What is the meaning of this?”

“That I love my husband very much,” Krampus answered without missing a beat. His voice carried the boredom of a thousand years and the experience of just as long. “And that I would do anything for him, including subject myself to this.”

North was beaming again.

Pitch met Jack’s gaze.

“Explain.”

Jack pressed his lips together. Pitch wasn’t going to like this. “North is giving me The Talk.”

Pitch visibly winced and glared at Krampus. “And you brought me here for this?”

“Of course!” North boomed, arms thrown wide in the air in celebration. “It cannot be just one! Dating good guys can be frustrating, too!”

Krampus was nodding, but it looked like he was nodding to himself. “Some days.”

Pitch’s lip was pulling up into a snarl. The last thing Jack wanted was for him to lash out and make his relationship with the other Guardians even worse, so he slid down from the table and held his hands out placatingly. “Look, it’s okay. They mean well. Alright?”

Pitch didn’t look convinced, but the way North set a comforting and supportive hand on Jack’s shoulder and Krampus outright stared him down seemed to keep his behavior in check for now. He was going to be so grumpy later.

If Pitch managed to behave for this whole thing, Jack would owe him so many cuddles.

North seemed to take Pitch’s lack of retort as consent, because he slapped Jack on the back and loudly proclaimed, “First things first!”

He turned to face Jack and held his shoulders with both hands. “I have noticed in meetings. You react when Pitch Black is said. You should not.”

The hot feeling was returning to Jack’s face. His ears felt particularly on fire this time. “Am I really that obvious?”

North shrugged one shoulder, swaying his head back and forth as if to say ‘not really.’ However, Krampus behind him nodded resolutely. “Yes.”

North gave his husband a look. “Only if you know what to look for.” He smiled reassuringly at Jack and patted his shoulder. “I think Tooth and Bunny think it is to do with Tooth Palace and Easter Incident.”

Jack didn’t feel reassured at all.

“And you!” North said, spinning dramatically toward Pitch. “Work stays at work! You must let Jack be Guardian.” With a theatrical whirl, North turned on Jack. “And you must let him be Boogeyman!”

Pitch was taken aback. It was written all over his face. “But all you ever do is try to stop me.”

North’s hands came up in a very cut and dry sort of gesture, one hand slicing into the other with every word. “Work stays at work!” Then he pointed at Pitch. “When Jack is Guardian, he stops you. When Jack is boyfriend,” North lowered his hand and shrugged, “he does what he wants.”

“What about when I’m both?” Jack couldn’t help but ask.

North’s gaze softened immediately. “Dangerous to think, Jack. You want him to be happy, yes? Then you must let him be who he is.”

That was incredibly profound and Jack honestly hadn’t even considered it before. The shock he was feeling was written all over Pitch’s face when Jack locked eyes with him across the room. Jack did want him to be happy, and they had been working on compromises, but… overall, yeah. North’s words made sense.

"And now about making love!"

"Nope," Pitch said. The assembled group almost hadn't heard him though, because he’d dropped through the floor so fast.

That was his cue. Jack turned on his heel and took the opportunity to yeet himself through the open workshop window. "I'm out."

Left behind, North stared in stunned silence at the place where Jack had been. He eventually turned to Krampus, clearly confused. "Did I say something?"

Krampus took his own time to stare at his partner. North could be dangerously oblivious. It would be annoying if it were not so adorable. He patted North's hair comfortingly.

"Too much, My Love. Too much."

[frosted-night]

I’ve seen your posts about Krampus and I was wondering what were the other guardians’ when they found out North was friends with him? Was Sandy jealous that North actually has a good darker counterpart? One that doesn’t treat North like shit.

Heehee interesting notion!

Sandy would have found out on his own then go right to North like 'dude what the fuck I thought you two were fighting???'

Then North points out just how many evil xmas/yule entities exist then regale how Krampus strived to be North's main rival. Poor Sandy can tell right away its some enemies to rivals to lovers shit and find it funny how North doesn't quite see it yet.

Sandy would be envious yes, because North and Krampus found a way to coexist peacefully since they have to balance each other. He'd wish such a thing was possible with Pitch and ask North for advice. If that didn't work he'd probably go to Krampus himself.

It gives Sandy hope that one day him and Pitch could be each other's shadow in peace/coexistence. However, until that day a tiny bit of envy tugs at him while he watches the Christmas/Yule spirits.

[goldenslumbersketchbook]

here’s a random thought

What if north was actually responsible for Krampus finding out his center was greed? Like imagine if north told Krampus about his adventures as the bandit king, and Krampus was inspired by that and got the bright idea to rob a bank

what do you think north and the other guardians would react to that?

poor north, now he has to put Krampus on a leash after that

Not just inspired by North, but what about a fae who uses cash to gain children’s spare bones. 🦷

the force of nature villian x the heroic outlaw

So remember how in Sinbad: Legend of the 7 Seas we had Eris, the force of nature villian, and Sinbad, the heroic outlaw, having a pretty interesting relationship.

Then years later, we have Death, the force of nature villian, and Puss in Boots, the heroic outlaw, having a pretty interesting relationship.

Dream works should gives us a mini-series about what North and Krampus’ relationship is like and how they met. Obviously because North used to be the bandit king before he became Santa Claus and I think Krampus should be portrayed as a force of nature villian, but only at first though. I still think if they ever made an rotg tv series or sequel, Krampus should be portrayed as an anti-hero for the most part.

Omfg, I totally see Eris, Death, and Krampus talking about their heroic outlaws and sipping cups of coffee together. I also see North, Sinbad, and Puss going on crazy adventures together and then sipping cups of beer while talking about their force of nature villians.
