*looks over at the pyrite (fool’s gold) in my rock collection in iron deficient* should I…?

forcing reading fool’s gold (for the 2nd time) with my friend to cure our trauma :3 (trust me bro your fic can cure anything i swear DO NOT look that up just trust me)

I looked it up….

And you’re right

Caspian and Lizzie simps, come get y’all juice

Also, thanks tigers for telling me that I was about to draw the wrong design for Lizzie 😅 that would’ve been bad.

Basically Spoiler section without spoilers is that I feel Gill is gradually falling in love with Chip, and doesn’t really notice it until events in 108 happened :)

Then again, my own interpretation with the bias of wanting my gay little pirates to hold hands :3

i wanna preface this by saying i love fish and chips and im insane about it and oughhh if you are a Certified FnC Person this may hurt you but then again, your delusions may also shield you.

the Nat 20 kiss has only been interpreted as romantic so far (at least as far as I've seen) but I think we really need to consider how little Gillion knows about Oversea culture as a general rule. We see a lot in the early episodes (and even in some recent ones) that Gillion doesn't fully understand the way humans go about their relationships. He knows there's romance of course, but his knowledge of how they show affection seems to be pretty limited. At the point in the story when the crew was at the Isle of Ire, Gillion probably hadn't seen much of Oversea relationships, especially considering how most of the Riptide crew's time was spent sailing in isolation. All Gillion knew going into the sanctuary was that the door required an act of true love, not specifically the romantic kind. I think it's pretty clear that the co-captains loved each other a lot at that point in the story, at least platonically, and I think the Roll for Genuity really could have just been how genuinely they loved each other, in any way (up for interpretation obviously). Obviously Gillion has seen people kiss before, and most likely understood it as an act of affection, but not necessarily as romantic. Gillion very well could have kissed Chip with genuine love, simply thinking that it was a simple form of affection, like hugging. Chip obviously also loves Gill, but he wasn't the one who initiated the kiss (it's not clear whether he kissed back or not) so we can't be sure if Chip's love for Gill is platonic or romantic.

holy shit did that even make sense??? im so sorry yall it was just on my mind lol

It’s to the point that you’re making ME wanna kiss that sad little pathetic man

Like, my friends who don’t even watch jrwi and have only seen the official art of chip/my art of him are like “damn, he fine.”

Like, i was talking about him to one of my friends and they couldn’t remember who he was, so I showed them the pic, and- this dude. Who is on the side of autism where he doesn’t get sarcasm very well, so it’s obvious he genuinely meant it. Deadass went:

“Oh yeah, the hot one.”

Like JDHDHDHHD WHAT-

I’m still sad Chip lost the kissing bracket btw

I wanna smooch him so bad that it’s starting to become an issue

ITS TIME FOR 109

AHAHAHAHAH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It’s honestly funny to me that tigers and I keep falling out of fandoms but then either by pure coincidence or the other drags us in, we regain a shared special interest

idk it just feels so good when you realize a fandom friend has become ur friend friend—y’know? like instead of only talking about ur common interest u start branching out and talking to each other about your lives, your other hobbies, and it’s even cooler to remain close if one or both of you lose interest in the fandom you met in. your bond, no longer dependent on the mutual love you had for some thing—now lies upon the kinship you’ve built. i think that’s beautiful
