jrwi riptide 109 spoilers also a little gorey???/////

listen i love the fanon design of chip with the hole in his chest, but i am always thinking about how in canon, chip’s heart is ripped out through his mouth. for reference, the human heart is roughly the size of two fists held together.

the fucking pain of something that size being torn from its home in your chest and dragged through your throat and out of your mouth would be fucking unimaginable.

just thinking about the anatomical implications of that, even though it was done through magical means. your heart’s being ripped from its place in the ribcage, and it’s not like theres an easy entrance to the throat from there. it would need to be dragged through the lungs surrounding it and rip its way into the esophagus. i wouldn’t be surprised if something that size traveling up your throat could have enough force to snap your neck. and after the lungs and esophagus and trachea and all the surrounding tissue and blood vessels and arteries have been fucking mangled, the heart has to come out of your mouth. the size of your two fists held together. probably with enough force to shatter your jaw and knock out your teeth. and even after it’s done, after your heart’s been stolen, all that viscera had to come with it.

and thankfully, with how captain widow’s magic works, chip does not die, but becomes undead. after she’s eaten his heart. after he gains the effects of a long rest, and he seems to be alright aside from the obvious issue at hand.

but he felt every second of it, and that’s not something you can just forget.

(obviously the actual canon description of this event is NOT as gorey as this post so it doesn’t all line up but please just let me LIVE i love when things are fucked up and gross)

// JRWI RIPTIDE SPOILERS ~ 115

thinking about how chip didn’t really die for anything. like captain widow chose him to make a point, to show off the fight was impossible. he truly had absolutely no agency in the matter but did he ever? or is it just like him to be played with by a more powerful force like he’s some kind of toy?

first the hole in the sea then everything with price and niklaus,, chip very often follows the path in front of him wether he realises he is or not

all of the riptide pirates fight for freedom against their destiny- be it a literal Destiny or just the path that had been laid out for them, but chip just can’t seem to escape his. he was always destined to return to the hole in the sea and not even him dying could stop that.

where gillion and jay know what they are trying to move away from,, chip doesn’t even remember the part of his past he is running from,, and has no choice in the fact he has to move towards it

RIPTIDE SHIP NAMES THAT I USE!

Note: I don't ship Niklaus with any of them, but I really really like the names, so I keep them. if the ship name is pink then that means i actually ship it/love it amen (aka it prolly is a rarepair developed by a mutual that i fell in love with). some of these i may not ship and plenty of these can be taken as platonic only! these are just ship/duo names for characters (using & means i see it only as platonic/familial/a duo/trio name with no romance elements at all.

JRWI Riptide Theory

Spoilers about Queen's character and the events of episodes 109-110, specifically the ep 110 rolled below the cut

So, I'm listening to the Just Rolled With It about Riptide episode 110, and the detail about how Chip could potentially forget who he is (if he fails an intelligence saving throw badly enough) intrigued me: the boys asked if it was possible that Captain Widow's crew had forgotten who they were, and Grizzly said that it was possible.

Which got me thinking--Grizzly also said that not all of them had potentially forgotten, but that some of them had, and I realized immediately another character we've met that has a connection to Captain Widow and amnesia: Queen.

I don't think this is possible, but I feel like there's a very small chance that Queen was a part of Widow's crew and had their heart stolen, and then their undead body forgot who they were and that's why they have amnesia.

Captain Widow had seven hearts, and when she took Chip's, it was the eighth. Niklaus had Widow's heart in his hand, so I don't think her own heart was actually inside of her, which would make the original seven belong to Widow's crew. Widow has six crew members: the woman Gillion fought in the dungeons (1), the clockwork sorcerer (2), the minotaur (3), the gluttonous tortle (4), the violist (5), and the chain-angel (6).

That still leaves one heart, and I think the seventh heart belongs to Queen--who, notably, remembered something specific when fighting against the violist on Widow's crew.

Obviously, there are holes in this theory:

Queen does not have complete amnesia, and demonstrates the ability to recover memories of their backstory--also, Grizzly said the undead memory loss caused a person to forget everything about themselves, including their ability to talk, and Queen seems like they can speak perfectly fine (the "lalala-ing" is more of a quirk than anything else, I think). Grizzly hasn't said whether or not undead-amnesia can be recovered from, so it's entirely possible that Queen forgot themselves and is now only just starting to remember who they are/were.

Also, Gillion has done multiple divine senses around Queen and none of them have revealed that Queen was undead. This is the biggest hole in this theory, and really the only way I can think of to work around this is that maybe Queen managed to find a way back from being undead--maybe they found another heart, and so they're not undead anymore but Widow still has their original heart.

I think that's all I've got right now! I don't think I'm 100% right, but I think I'm definitely onto something, so let me know if you've got additional information, whether it helps to prove or disprove this :) There is a pretty good chance I will come back and add onto this later as more information is revealed, so stay tuned!

riptide wonders that encase my head (and a theory on how MAYBE we get chibo back)

okay, the title in itself is a spoiler, but i just gotta be dramatic okay? its honestly just me pointing out shit in riptide i noticed (which i miss shit so if i got smth wrong pls tell me)

this all started from a convo about nico de angelo with my non jrwi friend btw so yeah

so, by actual account, chip is dead right? well, my non jrwi friend (@arcadianxanadus) brings up a fun idea: magically hes considered alive.

we know jack shit on how captain widows revival magic works, so lemme give you my theory notes now

captain widows magic seems to only take that full effect (murder i mean) when the victim is unconscious, im doubting it even works on someone awake as i dont recall any needed checks for those (could have to do a rewatch of jrwi oh well)

once the heart is removed from captain widow by any means, the person it belonged to dies, meaning something inside captain widow keeps that shit thumping yet also allows a connection to remain between the owner and the heart

captain widows body allows the hearts to move arround, and i dont think she has her own

grizzly mentioned in one ep that he was translating some monsters over to enemies

(mentioned by non jrwi friend!) captain widow seems to be opposite magically of the black sea. widows victims end up dead yet magically the brain is tricked into believing the body is alive so they "come back" from the dead, while those affected by corruption have the mindset of a zombie or undead but are very much alive

now for a couple questions which relate to captain widow:

(mentioned by non jrwi friend!) can captain widows magic be reversed with the opposite process? would the same process work?

can chip even be revived if captain widows magic is the only reason he is alive? what happens if he is (somehow gets a new heart), then they remove chips old heart, would chip die too?

can captain widows process even be reversed at all?

does captain widow have any connection to victims of the black sea or the corruption?

what is this womans biology like? how is any of her feats done?

(mentioned by non jrwi friend!) could captain widow give chip back his heart?

with this came questions about the black sea and mana, so accompanied by roses world map, heres my questions and notes on this shit:

the only known sorcerer onboard the midnight rose that we know of (one whos been shown to have very strong magic) that could have helped rose with what he wanted is finn

adding to the last note, yes nk is an option, but why wouldnt rose go for his loyal crew member, one who swore an oath to help him and shit?

the tidestriders have been shown to be very resistant to corruption (only reason finn struggling cause he old)

the black sea has 2 crescent shaped islands, and the viridis sea has 1 creacent shaped landmass (apon closer inspection, the royale blue ocean also has 2 crescent shaped islands, one of which being jays home land and the other being desire island)

considering how liquidus is located in a hole in the northern sea (dont wanna struggle to spell viridis), the holes can naturally occur (why else does nobody fucking question it), so the irregular part must be how it corrupted the sea

could there have been undersea people in the sakura ocean? did they get corrupted by the sea?

what actually happens if you get all corruption points?

would goobleck be affected by the goop of the sea? could he just absorb it?

is niklaus's deal actually active with chip still? would any of their deals stay active if they got corrupted?

theres a g mart in every sea. how the fuck did the black sea one get there the map literally says its the black sea already

(i forgot who mentioned it, ill go hunting after i post this) if chips dead, does the memory he lost come back? or since by magical rule hes alive it doesnt work like that?

there are ways out of the black sea! its not just cause "black rose built different", GRYFFON CANONICALLY IS FROM THE BLACK SEA.

we actually dont know much on the undersea. gillion isnt a reliable source because he didnt get to see it much, finn isnt a good source either cause his age and magic are affecting his memory, leaving edyn whod be the best source...except for the fact that shes nowhere to be found and would probably run before any questions could be asked.

any additional questions and notes are encouraged to be addedon, but now for my theory on this all...

chip can be revived by maybe a couple of 3 ways:

chip is brought to zero hp again and captain widow gives back his heart

chip is brought to max hp and captain widow gives back his heart

(for me the most likely thought) chip gets fully corrupted and (maybe needed) fails the check to remember shit

i have the most trust in the first part of theory 3. since each magic has opposite effects, maybe itll force chip back to life, thus reviving him? im hoping chip doesnt try it though, aster forbid im fucking wrong and we just lose chibo

the second part of theory 3 is there cahse (cause) maybe chip has to be fall to rise again? the only way to get up is to fall til you cant no more type shit. maybe if chip loses himself to the sea, all the magic going on will fucking return him to normal? look, im trying to be positive, and in the bleek dark trauma hole its fuckin hard

so yeah maybe grizzly plays will have mercy and even take my ideas to consideration but please. i cant handle my boy being haunted for so long
