the goober.
,, yeah hes kinda just,,,, there.
With all this jrwi art I got to know who is your favorite character so far? :)
oh godddd this is tough..... i mean. i'm very clearly biased towards non human characters so gillion is definitely up there... plus he's so autistic coded and a bit of a himbo.... and he's a fish and i really like fishes............. but like, chip has a very interesting story and he's developing and showing his emotions in very interesting ways, and i feel for him. he's a bastard and a clown but he's charming and caring... and jay is so cool and interesting because she seems like the only voice of reason in the group but then she does something crazy insane and you realize that she's as unhinged as the other two if not more.... and she also has some intriguing things in her backstory and im sad it doesn't get mentioned as often as chip's u_u
so um. i like them all so much and they're like "frequently bought together. do not separate", in a sense that their chemistry and interactions are so endearing and wholesome and heartbreaking sometimes that if you remove one of them it shatters the whole thing. and as much as i enjoy story and plot I wish we could get more moments of them just goofing around on the ship or at least talking to each other normally and not about their new destination.... so i can't really pick a favorite
also yes its totally Gillion Tidestrider
thinking about him (spoilers for jrwi)
thinking about how in atleast 2 scenarios chip has blamed himself more then needed, first with ollie ("i took him from his home") then with gillion ("i gave him the card") and each time he tried to put on a confident face but really it ate away at him inside.
thinking about how gillion is constantly taking on responsibility and chip canonically sees gillion as inspiration (humble beginnings, bizly says the inspo from the future is from gillion tidestrider) and its not like he only takes some blame but usually its all the blame because gillion knows how to acknowledge his faults somewhat.
thinking about how chip takes promises ever so seriously (ie, not even doing simple lies after promising gill that he wouldnt) yet hes such an example of "change doesnt happen overnight" and how he acts can be directly or indirectly related to past adventures and/or trauma (probably even how he copes is atleast somewhat connected to the guy he killed under price).
thinking about how chip grew up looking up to arlin and seeing what a great example of pirates the black rose were and trying to be something atleast somewhat great and feeling like he failed when hes the only one on deck with somewhat an idea of what a pirate is.
thinking about how chip would lie to protect his friends yes but became a lying machine to protect himself before and hid his intents because while he can absolutely trust his crew his instinct is too not because he got used to being on his own and putting himself first and now hes around people (mostly gill) who put themselves before him to help protect him.
thinking about how easily gillion made friends with people on islands and eventually it rubbed onto chip too (ie: gryffin, felipe, etc) as he unlearned the idea that hes alone in a cruel world that only exists to make him suffer and theres a light in everyones life that makes it even just slightly better, no matter the background (main example is gill again).
thinking about how much gillion is willing to sacrifice for his friends and when felipe wanted to stab him every night, it was chip who tried to talk sense into gill because he cares for gillion and (most likely) was worried that felipe may be lying about healing and may full on kill him.
and all these thoughts (and more) make me feel so much when they found the empty rowboat with nothing but ashes and a fiendish smell and gillion starts blaming himself so chip grabs his shoulders and says "its not your fault, you werent the one who made him grab the card" because somewhere in my heart it feels like maybe chip isnt just talking to gill but to the part of himself that keeps on trying to hold onto every wrong hes done, every sin that keeps him up at night, every lie that is amplified in his skull, that he deserves forgiveness and not everything in the world lays on his shoulders.
and with these thoughts, one more comes to mind: chip and gillion are so similar in backgrounds and morals and thats why theyre the ones that break each others walls and misunderstand each other and fight because they probably dont even fucking see it.
it’s your motherfucking DESTINY BABYYYY!!!!!
doodled my favorite moment from ep 53 bc fuck. ouch. shit hurted.
Jay Ferin has so much T-Girl swag send tweet
how is this guy the sneaky one when he literally looks like this
Going crazy of the idea that as time passes Chip begins to forget what he's supposed to look like. He's constantly using the bandana to cover up the rot and eventually he's going to begin forgetting what he looked like before.
It starts small, at first. He forgets a mole, or two but then it gets bigger. He forgets where the scars are supposed to sit on his face, how many teeth a person is supposed to have - what colour his eyes are.
How long until he forgets what he looks like entirely?
How long until Gill or Jay look at him and realise they don't recognise him anymore?
i really love chip and jay...
he is so scrungly
