Chip James - Tumblr Posts
When Chip tends to distance himself too much, Gillion never gives himself enough space. And every time one of them leans too hard into his own bad habits, the other one is here to bring back the balance.
Chip turns away from people when he needs them most. When he messes up or has a hard time with something, he hides and alienates himself. He stews in his own emotions and unable to process them properly, he spirals until he builds a terrible and completely false image of himself that he gets consumed by, allowing no one to get close enough to help him see himself more clearly. He begans thinking of himself as a problem, as a person unfit of being loved or cared for and someone who will eventually lose everything he gained, often chosing to leave himself in order to spare himself an inevitable heartbreak of being chased away, that he always thinks is coming. And by doing so, he fails to see how much he is loved, needed and appreciated. He refuses to let himself see. The distance grows. But there is always someone who chases after him. Gillion. No matter how far Chip may try to run, Gillion will always be there to catch up to him, to close the distance he creates. To bring him back from the dark cloud he traps himself within and force him to see what everyone else see in him. A person so dear and precious to all of his friends' hearts. And it turns out Chip can see it most clearly, when he catches a glimpse of himself inside of Gillion's eyes.
Gillion, never focuses on himself. He never spares the time to truly know his heart, and so he never grasps what it means to give himself space to stop and foucus on what he's feeling. Even when his heart races with panic, when his wounds are too great to ignore and when he feels himself slipping closer and closer to an inevitable break in his psyche, he attempts to scramble and squeeze himself between the problems of others to snuff out his own tears that threaten to spill, to push it all back inside. Gillion himself always decides to move on from terrible things that happen to him, completely neglecting the fact that neither his mind or his body had the time to recover. But every time he does that to himself, there is someone who will always notice. Chip. Chip, who for some reason keeps reminding Gillion to breathe, when he forgets to. Chip, who reminds him to go to sleep or to sit down, and only when Gillion listens and does just that, he realizes that his legs nearly give out underneath him. Chip, who grabs his hand and stops him when he rushes off too fast. And Gillion doesn't really understand why he does it and why it seems to be helping him so much. He doesn't truly get it, nor does he know how Chip always seems to know when he needs it. But Gillion doesn't have to understand to be grateful for it. And he is. Despite it all, he always is.
If
If anybody wants to do a chip jrwi animation for this..? (I'm gonna try but I actually suck at drawing positions lol)
Twisted! Chip has been drawn!
Chip, or as I like to call him, Mr No-Morality, is, as his nickname suggests, pretty much apathetic to everything. Everything he does is for a laugh. To him, life is a game and he's in charge.
In this au instead of doing his best to continue on and find Arlin, Chip just kind of accepted life. He's a lot like Price in this au, but less openly evil, and more just looking to prank someone. Although, prank is a bit of a tame word for the things he does. He knows that life is cruel and intends to make sure that everyone knows that. He doesn't need to plan ahead to know that whoever got in his way will regret it.
Chip is somewhat more mature in this au, if only to save his own skin. He still left Price and burned down the place, but this time it was more because he wanted to go on his own and decided to leave a message of "Don't fuck with me". This time his great journey wasn't to find someone, he just intends on fucking with people as much as possible. He can still do magic, but it's no longer fire based, instead his spells and swords are more targeted towards the necrotic side of things (not that he can raise the dead, he's not THAT good at magic).
Art for the first chapter of my fic, The Woods. It's a modern fae au where Chip and Jay go into the woods and meet Gillion, a fae.
