An ask to help you get ur mind off things; what's your favorite bit of lore regarding winter people, like regarding anything?

Aw you guys are such angels, I can never thank you all enough. Now…hmmm 🤔

A gorey one…or two:

1. Some winterbeings prefer to make ice spikes on their tongues during meals, these are analogous to the texture of a big cats tongue

which in real life can lick a persons flesh to the bone.

2. I’ve never really talked about how winterbeings *ahem* dispose of their bodily waste, I do have a concrete answer but I’m not now either lol. Part of that process is the nature of their stomach acid. Their insides are immune to it but otherwise it’s basically the kind of acid you see in flesh melting body horror movies. If you’re ever holding a fussy winterbeing baby that just ate you should set them down or you may not have a face in a few seconds.

Others:

The uncanny nature of frostbitten means that winterbeing babies generally are drawn more to other things of that nature that would frighten human children. This is a double edged sword; on one hand this means they get themselves into danger sooner and easier than human children, on the other hand even the most compassionate winterbeings have trouble being fully comfortable around warmer (emotionally) species, especially in their expressions and body language.

This doesn’t mean they can’t be warm of course. The hallmark of a winterbeing family is game of thrones-esque mind games but also genuine loyalty to each other, not to mention they love parties! Obviously there’s the hedonism and greed but they genuinely do just go all out and have fun when it comes to special occasions. Anything is a special occasion to them really. Their raucous partying has been known to cause some pretty intense blizzards!

Based on this meme: 7c7c0ca90cb3789131059bf80ebd60a9b16fc9dd

You may notice upon first glance that these aren't her babies! As you know over the period of many many years, through winterbeings having kids, turning their partners into frostbitten, breeding with humans, etc. the species grows far beyond the family. 

Refer to: The North Pole It's not the only place there are winterbeing communities and they have their own buildings for specialized purposes like any other species, this one specifically takes place in a winterbeing maternity ward which is MUCH more luxurious than most species. Motherhood is highly praised and valued, partially because of the influence of Suzy herself since...you know she's one third of the reason their species exists at all. In these wards they keep the snowbabies and frostbitten babies seperate as it would be very easy for the snowbabies to hurt them, as they're stronger and have yet matured to a level where they can see the frostbitten babies as their equals and not food. Suzy is comfortable in her pjs as she comes to visit very often to help out the nurses and new mothers.....mostly to just play with the winterbeing babies though (her hatred of other people's children doesn't apply to winterbeings, they may not see her as closely related but she does.)

I may or may not have gotten slightly attatched to one of these babies.

Winterbeings

Food

To reiterate context snowciety as i like to call it isnt a thing until like decades into the future, so its a given that many humans from many different cultures have been turned into frostbitten.

That being said they'll often recreate many different kinds of dishes only with cannibalistic substitutions.

Though there are also many unique examples

This is only for Winterbeings who prefer their food to be cooked, raw is actually much more beneficial but cooked food isn't harmful. Many will just devour a body bones and all.

Winterbeings get no nutrients from regular human food like vegtables. Animal products can extend energy in an emergency but its a bit like making your dog go vegan, maybe they can survive but they won't be healthy or happy whatsoever

There are groups of Winterbeings who want to be as ethical as possible and despite having no choice but to eat humans want to treat them with respect.

These communities often live intermingled with humans and act as protection and compansionship in exchange for the corpses of those who have passed from natural causes. They'll even leave things like the bones, hair, and teeth for compost and so the families can have keepsakes.

Medical

Being a doctor to winterbeings is quite interesting. You'll note that (as of now) every ailment is either reasonably treatable at home

Or DEADLY AND HORRIFIC

Being immortal and nearly indestructable means that, luckily, many diseases were discovered from trial and error experimentations. When you're part of a species that eats bugs and flesh and....garbage for fun, in addition to brutal bloodsport, any non-self afflicated pain is taken very seriously.

Gardens

this is gonna be a short one for...obvious reasons

The "native" population of Winterbeings is located in Marie Byrd Land on the continent of Antarctia meaning that gardens are esentially impossible there.

However, there are some options. For those living on the antarctic islands or pennisula nearby can enjoy the small green pleasures of hairgrass, lichens and pearlwort. The latter being favored and common for wedding bouquets.

Traditional Clothes and Items

These fuckers make the most useless winter clothes you'll ever wear in your life. They really enjoy the aesthtetics of fur lined coats, pants, and boots but the fuctionality of these would be a detriment to their own survival. So these are often made from very thin and breathable material.

On the other hand, for those living in places where it gets hot, Frostbitten at least have to dress even less in the summer months. This can be difficult for those who have integrated into more conservative socieites and some chose to go into a hiberntation like period of hiding during the summer.

On the other hand Winterbeings are incredible weapon makers. Since 50% of their species is inhumanly large, along with the fact theres a lot of power behind their swings, weapons being proportional and well made is a necessity.

There are also weapons made to compliment a winterbeing's special ability. For example a snowperson with the power of Ice infusion might have a weapon thats made to inject poison, giving them an extra danger in battle.

The disability that both Typhon and his Aunt Jane have has been named! 

So I wanted to draw him to show how his chronic illness affects him and explore a bit of the disability rep in this verse. His ability of ice teleportation can help some but since his disability weakens all frozen solid aspects of his body he can't use it very often without becoming fatigued. Typhon still loves to explore as he gets older, walking, touching, smelling....tasting, although he's grown out of licking rocks. His family isn't the type to coddle and treat someone with his condition like glass (at least now that Jane's all grown up) so he's been taught how to defend himself the best that he can. Growing up he did see the wild and rambunctious things his cousins and aunts and uncles would do, he'd wonder if he'd ever find his own place, he especially wondered if Pop pop (Jack) and Grandpa (Santa) were disappointed with him when it became clear he might not be able to do the things they could. Nowadays though he enjoys riding on their shoulders and using his winter-strengthened crutches to break mailboxes.

It's probably not the safest idea but what his mommies don't know won't hurt em, raise your kids and spoil your grandkids as they say. The way he felt free during these times, the wind in his hair and the breeze soothing his wounds, got him thinking as he grew into his teen years. The supernatural world is vast and large but still underground for the most part, none of the family would ever get the chance to do things like drive....but they physically could. It took a lot of convincing and the help of his least responsible cousins but he’s cemented a modus operandi for himself. 

The key of the whole operation is human ableism. Even with the purple dead skin and dripping green liquid all humans see is some poor soul whose life must be oh so terribly awful! He waits on the side of the road for some abled savior's to whinge and wince at his condition enough to see stopping for him as a good idea.  Sometimes they’ll talk over him and jump to conclusions so he just goes right along with it until they take him to where he wants to go, he makes up a different story for why he looks the way he does every single time but it always has that “I was born with glass bones and paper skin” energy. Typhon will ask them to take him to an address that’s meant to be some kind of medical or houseless center but really leads to an empty parking lot. When the humans ask questions he struggles to get out and fakes tears to up the pity factor, making them get out after him to console him, at which point his cousins come out of the woods. Getting a whole car full of humans to take home for dinner makes their parents all very happy! The real fun part -and the whole reason Typhon came up with this plot- is taking the vehicle for a joy ride, he doesn't need a license when the whole point is running over people and crashing in a blaze of glory! 

He honestly scares his cousins a bit (not because of his face, because he screams and whoops while running over old people) at times but he's the best getaway driver mutant killer winterbeings could ask for.

New lore addition

I realized that snowpeople babies wouldn't be able to use pacifiers because they're born with their sharp teeth Suzys solution: ground beef molded around the nipple of the pacifier and frozen for when one needs to quickly comfort a fussy mutant killer baby 🥰

[frostcorpsclub]

Since Suzy can have kids she like? has a period right? I know she's a corpse but that seems like an important part of reproduction

Yeah I mean I guess she'd have to. Winterbeings don't have other *bodily secretions* besides sweat, semen and well blood but they expel waste in other ways.

I think Frostbitten afabs would have regular human menstruation while afab Snowpeople, since they're all hermpahroditic and being afab really only refers to which secondary sex characteristics/hormones their bodies lean towards having more of, would just have the hormonal aspects of a period.

All that aside imagine how fucking funny this is in context.

Josephine, 10: Daddy when I woke up my tummy was cramping and there was blood all over my bed, what's going on? :(

Jack, no clue what he's supposed to steal for this:

[frostcorpsclub]

Pleeeaaasse I need more disgusting headcannons about your OCs, I love shit like that sm (⁠●⁠♡⁠∀⁠♡⁠)

ANON WHO ARE YOU LET ME KISS YOU PLEASE

Suzy overeats a LOT, frostbitten are ravenous so they often keep eating long past being full. This usually leads to her throwing up which she happily laps right back up!

2. I've mentioned this before but Snowpeople will use their long tongues to um...get their food back if a Frostbitten steals their kill, whether agressively or their partner playfully taking a bite.

3. Winterbeings smell really really bad the moment they come close to even slightly melting levels of heat. Ice absorbs odors and they're surrounded with the stench of death and all the things that happen around corpses. There are probably Winterbeings out there who can make you pass out by breathing in your face like a fucking cartoon.

Had this random thought while listening to music in the shower, you know that "drawing it girls trend" on TikTok? Ophelia, Lola, Sharona, etc.
