Crosies Disease

**Crosies Disease**, more commonly known simply as **Crosies**, is a nonfatal disease spread by kissing, similar to **Herpes**. There are no known side effects of Crosies, aside from eternal shame. All strains of Crosies originate from Gerard Canonico. There are nine main strains of Crosies:

1. **Direct Crosies** **Disease**. This strain of Crosies can only be contracted by kissing Gerard Canonico or others who have kissed him or other Crosies victims in the past. It can only move forwards through victims. Notable victims include Grammy Award winner **Taylor Swift**, as well as 6-time Tony Award winner **Audra McDonald**. Direct Crosies has mainly infected the Broadway casts of **Spring Awakening** and **Dear Evan Hansen**, as well as the touring casts of both shows and **Next to Normal**. Direct Crosies is also present within the Wesley Taylor webseries **It Could Be Worse** and **Indoor Boys**, as well as the TV series **Glee**, **The Real O'Neals**, and **Rise**.
2. **Indirect Crosies Disease**. This strain of Crosies can be contracted by any exchange of saliva with a Crosies victim. This can include sharing drinks or kissing an infected surface. Indirect Crosies in its purest form can only move forwards through victims. Indirect Crosies is common within family members, friends, or castmates of Direct Crosies victims.
3. **Reverse Crosies Disease**. This strain of Crosies is able to mutate and infect anyone who has kissed someone who later kissed Gerard Canonico or another Direct Crosies victim. It is primarily spread directly, but it can spread indirectly as well. Examples include actress **Aubrey Plaza**, who dated future Direct Crosies victim **John Gallagher Jr.** in her youth. This strain of Crosies is particularly dangerous and infects most anyone with potential links to the disease and its victims.
4. **Combination Type Crosies Disease**. Many complicated strains of Crosies can be categorized as Combination Type Crosies Disease, such as comedian **Pete Davidson**'s Direct-Indirect-Reverse-Direct Crosies Disease. This name is used to describe any combinations of any of the above diseases. It is important to note that any Direct Crosies victim does not fall under this label even if they do have Indirect or Reverse Crosies, as these labels only apply to those who do not have Direct Crosies.
5. **Crowsies Disease**. This disease is contracted by drinking **Cro(w)sies Juice**, and is not contagious except through sharing juice. It is possible for a Crosies victim of any kind to also carry Crowsies disease if they drink this juice. Notable victims include **Alex Wyse** and **Daniel Durant**. This disease does have the possibility of turning the Cro(w)sies Juice drinker into a mow's or a homestuck.
6. **Crowsers Disease**. This disease is contracted by being a member of the **Looks So Crowded In Those Trousers** Twitter group chat for any period of time. It is not contagious. Notable victims include **Jacob Sartorius** and **SafeAuto Car Insurance**.
7. **Crowseritis**. This disease is contracted by having a conversation with any victim of Crowsers Disease. It is not contagious.
8. **Crowseritis Contagious Type**. This disease is similar to Crowseritis, in that it is originally contracted by having a conversation with a Crowsers victim. However, this disease is contagious and anyone infected with Crowseritis will spread the disease by having a conversation with someone. There are no differences in Crowseritis and Crowseritis Contagious Type aside from the severity of the disease. Those directly infected by Crowseritis will suffer more long-term effects than those who have never spoken directly with a Crowsers victim.
9. **Crowseritis Reverse Contagious Type**. This disease is similar to Reverse Crosies in that anyone who has previously had a conversation with a Crowseritis Contagious Type victim will be infected as soon as the victim is initially infected. This disease unfortunately affects a majority of the world's population.
