#JAY FERIN IS AWESOME

[micahdoesmusic]

YES!!! JAY FERIN HAS COOL DYNAMICS AND CHARACTERS TOO!! Most notably, my favourite being Chip and Jay as you said!! (this will get spoilery sorry)

I love fnc don’t get me wrong, I love the build of their relationship and yada yada (they mean so much to me) but LOOK AT THESE GUYS!!!

It’s no different to fnc, we get to watch their bond change and develop as their characters do!! Watching them go from the awkward banter and lies to just actually opening up and being real with each-other every now and then? CHEF’S KISS

LET’S LOOK AT THE EPISODES #53 VS #81‼️‼️

These two AWESOME fucking scenes contrast eachother in the same beautiful way each of Chip & Gill’s fights did. I need to talk about this NOW!!!

EPISODE #53 - Not Ferin Well (timestamp: 53:46)

The iconic scene, where Jay is commanded to shoot Gill and leave behind her crew but she instead defies her father. It’s obviously a HUGE step in her character development, but we also see something unusual in Chip. This is also pretty much one of the first times they’ve been genuinely honest with each-other.

Jay feels like a burden and a traitor, and Chip fights against that.

Jay: “I was just using you. … It meant nothing to me.”

Chip: “I don’t believe that.” …

Jay: “You don’t mean that.”

Chip: “Of course I do.”

Jay: “You guys don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve to deal with my family because of me.”

I don’t know how much time they spent together before they came across Gill, maybe the time as a crew before The Block was enough, but it’s so clear how well Chip and Jay read each-other from his immediate push back.

Jay lies to his face in an effort to spare him for her problems, but Chip sees through, and he’s clearly not willing to let her go. Maybe he’s sarcastic about it, but Chip knows she cares and he makes it clear he cares just the same. We all know Chip sucks at feelings talk, but in the moment he says completely what he feels.

Even after The Block, this scene changes their relationship so much. Of course, we still have the playful sibling banter, but they communicate much better than they used to!!

(come onn,, that’s just as heartwarming as fnc)

EPISODE #81 - All Falls Apart (timestamp: 01:02:08)

Just after the Feywild arc when Gillion is gone, Chip blames himself for all of it, he misses Gillion, he’s putting all this weight on himself and Jay sees that. You know what she does? She looks out for her fucking brother!!!

Jay: “Chip, do you really blame yourself for everything that happened?”

She just asks him about it, and this time Chip doesn’t even try to change the subject or push away. He just let’s it spill and he talks. It takes trust to just let loose like that.

Chip: “Do you remember what you said to me? How you were using me, from the beginning? Well, maybe I was using you too.”

Direct callback to Episode #53 already! (thanks Bizly)

Maybe Chip walked away after their conversation, maybe he wasn’t as ready to talk as he seemed, maybe he denied Jay’s arguments as much as he could, BUT I know Jay’s reassurance would have helped to change Chip’s mind about leaving as Gillion’s talk did.

He’s fucking scared, that’s okay, but Jay understands because she was never ready either.

Jay tries to tell Chip all he’s good for, that he’s enough because fuck she’s been through the same thing and he’s the one who helped her see clearly. Chip feels like he’s letting everyone down, and Jay knows that’s it’s okay. And you know who reminded her of that? Yeah! Chip JustRollWithIt!!!! CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT BABYYY

They’re both sharing similar pains. Their past, who they used to be, what they lost, who they’re supposed to be, who they’re letting down, the promises they broke. (It’s a common Riptide Pirates theme; not being who you’re supposed to be. (i’ll write a whole seperate post about this okay)) They understand each-other.

It’s an interesting contrast between each scene; both in turns try to fight for each-others individuality and self-worth but there’s such a difference in tone and trust. (Maybe someone could word this better?? gods help-)

But seriously, what’s not to love? It’s found family and they LOVE EACH-OTHERR AND THEY CAAAREEE!!!!! Devour it. Think about it more. THINK ABOUT IT NOW!!!

***I also haven’t paid muuuch attention to Jay and Gill’s relationship, but they’re totally girl best-friends okay. They have girls nights, they have late talks, they gossip and they comfort each-other. IT’S REAL!!!

I think we as a fandom can give Jay more love, even if you still are really invested in fnc. I personally think it’s so funny that you can have this dramatic (b)romance heartwarming growth of friendship and trust between Chip and Gil, who started out as nearly thematic opposites of each other, but still absolutely adore Jay Ferin being the one that for some reason is deemed the “most normal” out of the three.

The second you look behind the bastard and the fish and their thematic tension, you have a mad scientist, sharpshooter, combat powerhouse, “the only one that gets bitches,” and she’s still has as many completely heart wrenching moments as the other two.

That and I am a sucker for found family sibling dynamics and you can’t take Chip and Jay as a combo away from me.

[triplefishbutevil]

jay ferin awesome kickflip

[lanladesu]

jay ferin you’re so cool and awesome

[carrierofpretzel]

My silly hcs for Jay Ferin. half this shit is non canon compliant but idgaf.

Some minor spoilers

So remember the clip where Grizzly thought Jay was like 6’2? yeah well thats still how it is in my heart.

She had at one point revealed that she thought Edyn was cute but never brings it up again and I’d love to think its because she sees how weird Chip is at times abr Edyn and she doesn’t want to do the same.

She definitely wanted to infiltrate pirate ships ever since she was young cause she thought it would be awesome to be a hero but she just slowly realized the navys vision of pirates isn’t always true which then led to her trying ro side with them in the first Jayson fight.

She occasionally will see her dress from the murder mystery and think of Anastasia and wonder if she meant well or not.

She seems like she’d have a migraine disorder, I can’t explain why but she just does.

I feel like as a kid she may have occasionally had fantasies of slaying beasts and adventuring more akin to how pirates do and she was afraid to confess that scared her family would hate her for it.

for reading all that complimentary Condifiction phot

[jrwiconfessions]

These condi neg bitches being real quiet about Rolan and Emizel. Anyways I will give these guys credit with Vyncent, as much as I love him there really has been a big struggle for him to find his footing with motivation and it really wasn't helped with the fauna arc or the time him and Charlie pulled the "the heroes aren't actually good" thing that Charlie admitted he was bullshitting. If they took that more seriously it really could've added a lot to Vyncent (and William) as a character but they sorta let it go. There was also a lot of potential with him having magic that was ultimately snuffed out because it wasn't actually on his character sheet, and while I think the sword was cool it was for the most part a nearly useless thing outside of a couple of occasions.

What I will not give these guys though is Jay Ferin she's a fucking awesome character outside of grizzly tying NPCs to her. The reason why she's pushed to the side is cuz fandoms do tend to be misogynistic especially when it comes to "female character that's tied to gay ship". Anyways before episode 53 it makes sense for her to not show all her cards and allow herself to be more easily looked over because she's a fucking spy but she's still a multidimensional character during that because you can see as she starts caring for the crew. Y'all are just really shitting on condi when Charlie and Bizly both also had their riptide guys be "one dimensional" at the start of riptide they just got a kickstart by having their multidimensional break on episode 15. Hell even Dakota could fall into this especially season 1. You guys are just mean

Also like I said you guys are being really quiet about Rolan and Emizel who in my humble opinion are top tier.

Anyways I love you condi condifiction

?

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY HII ANONNN

this is such an awesome fucking ask to get. ouguohigohoh i’m about to RAMBLE

plspls let me know if the post doesn’t minimize so i can add a “read more” thing i don’t wanna clog peoples dashes

I’ve really only watched PD and Riptide so. take these ^__^ (SPOILERS UP TO RIPTIDE EP109 AND UP TO PD S2 EP19)

Riptide:

- Chip tried to teach Gillion sign language, but he was very confused at first. He didn’t get it because signing “sun” didn’t make a literal sun, etc. He even thought they were magic spells/incantations at one point. Eventually, though, Gill finally understood them— most prominently, the sign for “I love you”. He signed it to Jay during that moment in ep 53, and Chip found the slightest bit of strength during that moment in 109 to curl two fingers in and sign “I love you” to his crew, with what he thought was the last of his strength.

- Mae (May?) Ferin has very curly hair, which was brown but greyed with age. Jay got the vibrant orange hair from her father, but in my brain she has the curls from her mother, and to me that symbolizes how she strikes a balance between being a Ferin and being her own person, following what her mother wants for her (which is just to be happy).

^^^(Ava Ferin had the same hair as her father. She was the spitting image of what a navy captain was meant to be. She was like a mini Jayson growing up.)

- All the Ferins have wings. That’s it. Jayson’s, Jay’s, Ava’s, etc. are white, slightly blue-ish feathers. Drey’s wings are brown and black. His wings are pretty out of shape now, he can’t really fly anymore, but he can still lift them enough to put them over Jay’s, or Ollie’s, or Finn’s shoulders, and it’s like a blanket. He does it to Earl sometimes just because Earl hates it lmao

- Gillion has very long hair and prides himself on all the ways he can braid it into the traditional styles of the Undersea. It’s a slightly different way of braiding than on the oversea, though, so he taught his way of braiding to Jay, who taught her way of braiding to him. They also taught Ollie. who does Drey’s hair for him and occasionally Chip’s if he can be convinced.

- Hair is also a very sacred thing in the Undersea— one only cuts their hair when they have lost a battle, and so long hair is very respectable. When Gill first was exiled to the Oversea, his hip-length hair got cut very short, up to his chin. It grew out gradually over the campaign, but he tried to cut it after the events of 53, only being convinced not to by Jay when she fully understood why he was doing it. Gillion prides himself very much on his hair.

- Jay is dyslexic. In the Feywild, during that one segment, she lost the ability to read because the magic was preying on one of her insecurities, in a sense. Dyslexic Jay the headcanon i truth most.

- Chip has mild apraxia. It’s real to me.

- Also all of albatrio has/had speech impediments cause I said so. Gillion has rhotacism, Jay has a stutter, and Chip had a lisp growing up which still slips out occasionally.

-Joke headcanon that slowly became real to me: Gillion did Chip’s top surgery in ep 15

Prime Defenders:

- MORE SPEECH IMPEDIMENT HEADCANONS CAUSE I LOVE PROJECTING !! Dakota has a lisp/stutter, and Ashe has a general speech disruption. Ashe also has selective mutism ^__^

- To me, Summer and Cantrip had an enemies to lovers sideplot in early to mid season 2. I think Doug probably mentioned how when he was a villain, he worked with this girl Cantrip, who was Ruby’s sister, and Summer got curious and was like “damn. I wonder where she is now” and sought her out to try and talk to her. And literally their early dynamic was Jade going “kys” and Summer being like “i can fix her!!!”

- Xavier and Jade are mlm wlw hostility. Summer and Doug are mlm wlw hostility. Not reaaaally a headcanon but i had to say it.

- William’s family was very religious growing up. He also came from one of those small, Southern hunting towns and so he has the accent and everything (moomin infected my brain with this one <3).

- The PD season 1 finale took place a few days before Halloween, and the four of them had matching costumes planned out together but never did get to wear them.

- Also, to me, the greyscale arc takes place on or very close to Christmas.

- Dakota didn’t really celebrate his birthday nor Christmas for many years because of how lonely those holidays got for him— he didn’t really get a very good birthday/xmas after the events of the Resurgence. However, Tide didn’t know this and got him a birthday gift once, and Dakota ugly cried while hugging him.

- Shockwave was transmasc. He means the world to me. (Also why Tide is such a good hashtag ally)

- Dakota is very scared of spiders for no apparent reason. Whenever they show up he jumps up onto a table or onto Ashe’s back and tries to fight it off with a broom. Ashe is the one who has to take care of it.

- Gender straight up Isn’t Real on Fauna. Vyncent is literally genderless but nobody asked him when he got to Prime so he literally just went along with being he/him’d and didn’t really mind. (this one’s from arachnid lmao)

- Doug and Summer are queerplatonic that’s it that’s the post

- Ashe is a natural blonde, just like Mark, but bleaches their hair. Everyone was fucking shocked to find out about this

- Lightspeed and Wordsmith are also mlm/wlw hostility. real and canon to me

this is literally just the first ones off the top of my head i have so many but i’ve been writing this post for nearly an hour so i think i’ll cut it off here ^__^
