Just Roll With It Gillion - Tumblr Posts
me every time I have a flashback to the time I got my assistant principal into jrwi
Drew a bit more in the same style of my grizz pc art, I think I’ll do the whole group
gillion tidestrider is such a disney princess. Im listening to the cinderella musical because thats something i have to learn now and its just so gillion coded and then ill think back to that “i know its today” animatic and i love that for him its just so fun
cursed Gillion moment
Charlie has said this so much throughout the campaign that I decided to take matters into my own hands
(transparent image on the bottom)
I constantly have it in my mind that Gillion is three years older than Chip. Gillion, yes, Gillion mother fucking Tidestrider, is the oldest of the albatrio.
It's funny on a base level, Gillion is oldest yet the others need to babysit him. Gillion is the oldest but he knows the least. Haha.
It's less funny if you think about Chip being 8 years old, happy with the black rose pirates and then Gillion. Gillion who is eleven and training to be a weapon for others.
It's less funny if you think about Jay, 12 and spending time with her mom and sister. Gillion, 13, who can't remember his mom and almost expects his sister's hugs to hurt because the only contact he gets is hit over the head for failing again.
Chip, 14, Jay, 16, able to act out and cause trouble, because they're teenagers, why not goof around? And then Gillion, who's 17 and told to be an adult and act like it. But he can't change how he acts, because being mature has always been the standard expectation, he doesn't know how to be an adult when that's already what he's been his whole life.
Chip, 18 and he is scared to kill someone because killing is bad. Jay, 20 and her sister is dead and she is heartbroken. Gill, 21 and he is already used to killing, and he never sees his sister anyways, and he ruins his life. He ruins his life doing wha he thought was right, doing what they taught him to do.
Gillion is three years older than Chip, a year older than Jay. And it seems insignificant until you think about those years being stolen from him. It took Gillion 22 years to be free. Chip was free off and on, he had a childhood, Jay was never held back, she had a childhood.
Gillion didn't.
So guys... Gillion Tidestrider. But, hear me out, Gay Jokes by Rio Romeo.
And Now I will analyze each verse and tell you why this song IS ABOUT Gillion
Bro NEVER confronts his feelings, he constantly invalidates his own emotions in favor of other's. The only time he speaks up is when prompted, and then PUSHED.
Its just the truth, he keeps being funny despite genuinely being banished. Like dude, that's FUCKED up, it's not your responsibility to make people feel better about WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.
I imagine that in this context 'being gay' is more like being a person, his life was wrecked because he has fucking emotions and thoughts and acted on them. And in this case his 'mother' is probably more like the elders or the undersea in general because he got banished. And No, he WILL NOT recover, his life fucking sucked.
This is just so him saying that he got banished to Chip and Jay. His head feels 'underground' because he was fucking PANICKING. "The joke is gone" they know he's not officially the champion anymore, they know he lied. But they don't care that he got banished, why would they? Gill is their friend, that doesn't change anything. And Gillion is more comfortable, able to be open to them.
His childhood WASN'T a childhood, and every joke or reference he makes simply highlights that. I think in this context the 'you' is us, the viewers. We laugh at the joke, and then realize what the fuck he actually just said and take in how horrible it actually is.
That's what Gillion does. He makes light of bad situations, on the surface for others, but also to try and hide and ignore his past trauma. 'It may not be so funny to you all, But know I am having quite a fucking ball' to me this feels more like behind Gillion, as in it being Charlie. We are all horrified at how horrible Gillion's life was and Charlie always grins whenever we bring it up.
He is traumatized, and I fucking love it. Can you tell?
Hey can we talk about Jayson telling Gillion "your gods are dead"? Cuz ummmm.
That wasn't a fucking lie. Clearly they can kill leviathans. And it's probably more than one.
We know that they haven't gotten to all of them, as Pelagus is still around, or a least very recently still around. And there's probably a few leviathans that are sleeping/growing at the bottom of the ocean, like how Dugon is.
Pelagus is probably being chased, seeing as it seems like one of the more trackable leviathans, what with the storm following it. But the storm probably also helps it, as it generally makes it much harder to sail in.
But like, either way, the navy are killing what are considered as gods. Using them to artificially design leviathans.
What about Gillion? He's presumably a leviathan (a very young one at that). He's a very powerful leviathan.
One that they cloned. Might I say.
However, it is was made clear that DoppelGilly is not divine. Like, at all.
I know Gillion radiates divinity, due to the prophecy. But surely it's also because he is literally a leviathan's kid.
DoppelGilly didn't radiate any divinity. Meaning that the navy probably couldn't replicate that amount of power and godliness. Sure, he got enough to do magic and shit like that. But nothing divine.
But they still have the ability to clone Gillion. Surely they wouldn't limit themselves to one clone. What if they die? What if they're found out? What if they're faulty? They'll need a replacement.
So if the can continue to clone Gillion. The might be able to get closer and closer to true divinity.
And they'll continue killing leviathans until Gillion is the only true leviathan left.
(Or I'm completely wrong. Y'know, could be the case)
This is the dumbest, silliest little art style ever and I love it (/pos)
I wanted to give Edyn and Gill actual designs, and I sck at clothes, especially with a more complex art style. So I made them little guys. Art block can't vanquish the silly.
(The colours are so much better irl. I promise Gillion's hair is actually green)
Content Warning: I've drawn the scene from 114 where Gill was fucking hung by his hands from hooks. It's not detailed, but still a bit ick. So, y'know, be careful.
They hung him for his crimes
Kinda homophobic, ngl (/j)
I've wanted to draw him hanging from the hooks, and I think I succeeded. It's hard when his blood is blue. We manage though.
All I want is for him to be happy with his lesbian moms, is that so much to ask?
More seriously I wanted to design Lunadeyis and Aster, and while Aster's design will most likely change (I'm not the biggest fan of how I drew her here) I am very happy with Luna. And also Gillion is cute.
All I wanted to do was draw Gillion, now there's an elaborate au built around it.
Say hello to the Twisted AU. It's like normal riptide but everything is more twisted. It's technically a villain au, but not really.
In this AU Gillion's upbringing lead to him being egotistical and kinda narcissistic. He's still hero of the undersea and all that jazz, but think like selfish celebrity, Yeah, he'll donate to charity, so long as he's still rich and gets the spotlight.
In this au Gillion is much more selfish, helping people until it inconveniences him. He's obsessed with his appearance and uses magic much more targeted towards charming and controlling people, so that others do his dirty work for him. He's also much more sadistic, drawing out deaths to get the full bloody glory of it and hurting people for the hell of it. On the flip side, he hates getting hurt. Not because of the pain, but because the blood might stain his clothes. He still has that oath against lying, but he's much more willing to stretch that oath to its limits. It's not lying if he's acting. It's not lying if he doesn't say anything.
Don't be fooled though, he isn't the only messed up one in the au. Gonna have to do Jay and Chip next.
My friend told me to quote "Give him a little top hat please"
So here's Twisted Gillion with a top hat
