#chip jrwi is so coded okay

[thatseadog]

What if I latinofied chip what would you do

[boygirlctommy]

me, normal, listing to jrwi riptide: now where can i put cbench into here?

[s0lar-ch3ri]

this is me omg i love you op i need this carnally (platonic joking)

im gonna add onto this obvi but yeah

chip is not someone to want to kill. hurt? yeah, thats defencive most times, but chip didnt like murder. but when oliver went down? no hesitation, kills the goblin. not to mention part of chips arc of changing was where what could be considered the biggest conciquence of his actions being the whole compass with ollie and shit. when faced with the most powerful man theyve met? chip immediately thinks about ollie. ollie is the only riptide pirate not to go into the black sea ebcause the captains care way too much about him to risk shit

jay letting olllie help her with making thigns. jay being the one to find ollie in the firsrt place after the battle. jay bweing the only one whos had parents and such probably the best idea on how children actually work (ARLIN DOES NOT COUNT, THAT MAN IS A PIRATE AND THE BLACK ROSE IS PROBABKY LIKE AS UNSAFE IF NOT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN). fucking "miss jay" im gonna squeeze yopu ollie your too cute

gillion literally gets beat up like first thing with ollie wearing the belt and just like is impressed by his strength. gillion loves doing thigns with oliver becayse of his strength and i swear it has to be because its like his way of telling him "hey, your able to throw around the heaviest and strongest riptide captain with ease, your strong and you need to knw it". ollie (from what i feel like) takes on gillions heroicness. i mean, gillion is kinda the one who started chips changing arc, and hes an actual hero. yet, gillion was outcasted for nothing, and theres a lot he doesnt understand still, which is kinda like ollie (who was just bullied for no reason). look i cant explain how bad i am for the gillion ollie friendship family duo whatever. theres also fucking puddle, you know, gillions "son". whys his name puddle? ollie picked it. who got to ride puddle first thing? chip and ollie. who got so emotionally attached to puddle? ollie. why was gillion able to talk to puddle? ollie translated for him. im insane on them

(its also a funny funny idea that since hebrew is the same thing as celestial and puddle being not understood sounding like regular horses, that horses just speak hebrew. and chip makes holy horse noises when he speaks celestial. or ollie does horse noises celestial and chip does holy noises celestial [VICE VERSA IS SO FUNNY TOO LMAO])

yeah i love ollie and gillion and goobleck <- has made a comparison post for ollie and gillion and has written

thinking about ollie now btw.

thinking about him and chip, first of all. thinking about how chip saw this little kid and he saw himself, and so he desperately began to scramble to be everything he needed as a kid that he never got. chip ended up getting caught between 'do cool shit to impress him' and 'keep him safe'. and you can practically see and mark the exact moment where it teetered over into 'keep him safe'. chip's found people that make him want to be a better person and it's so gahgdjhkjwehtjk to think about.

thinking about chip chastising ollie for cursing despite ollie picking up every bit of it from chip.

thinking about ollie calling for chip when things go awry.

thinking about chip just taking the time to check on ollie every time he gets the opportunity.

thinking about ollie clinging onto him and begging not to go home just yet because of the adventures chip's brought him on.

and thinking about the way it haunts chip to hear it because he so desperately wants ollie safe and the albatross isn't always safe. ollie shouldn't be as violent and rowdy as he is at 12 or 10 or 9 or whatever his canon age is.

thinking about ollie and gillion. thinking about gillion being this massive immovable force, this strong warrior in the eyes of a child. thinking about how gillion likely doesn't know how to act around ollie at first because he was never socialized around other kids growing up. but he and ollie actually have so much in common and their friendship is so fucking precious too.

thinking about ollie telling gillion about his journal before he tells chpi and jay.

THINKING ABOUT THE BATTLE THE 2ND TIME THEY WERE IN ALLPORT. thinking about gillion very clearly prioritizing ollie's safety; telling kuba kenta (paraphrased) 'youre going to let him run back to the ship and youre not gonna fucking hurt him' and preparing to use magic or some other spell to protect ollie.

thinking about ollie probably asking to hold gillion's sword. gill's probably like 'hell yeah, but only the worthy can support its weight!' and he lets ollie hold it but magically or however tf holds some of the weight himself so that ollie can actually keep it upright.

THINKING ABOUT OLLIE AND JAY OH MY GOD. thinking about how ollie calls her 'miss jay' which is just fucking adorable. thinking about how he seems to think she's the coolest one on the albatross,, thinking about how he's probably enthralled by jay's inventions and the things she tinkers together.

thinking about how, after jay got her 'wings' (the magical tattoo that allowed her to cast flight), the first thing she did was fly ollie around.

thinking about her trying to be a good role model for ollie because she's like 'well the other two are kind of idiots but i think i can do this right at least'.

thinking about her watching ollie talk about his mother and thinking about her own mother, her own family, and just silently whispering a prayer to the stars, please let this boy's family be good (and as far as i know, his family is good).

guys does anyone else see chip jrwi as super autistic coded or is that just me

mostly the entire duel with him and gillion really reminded me of some of my personal experiences with misreading social cues and like

chip seeing arlin and stuff make fun of his crew and pull pranks and going “oh so this is okay!!” but then getting confused when gill got mad cuz he genuinely doesn’t know what he did was harmful to him because he thought “well arlin did it so that’s what ur supposed to do with your crew!”

idk just thinking about autism x autism fish n chips tbh

[m0nochromem0use]

one person said i should so i’m going theatre kid on main here’s the musicals i associate with jrwi campaigns

riptide: anastasia. chip just Is dmitry idk what to tell you. my petersburg is the first song on my chibo playlist. also please imagine with me: pre ep 53 jay and still. imagine with me and sob

prime defenders: the easy answer is be more chill but anyone who’s followed me for more than a month can see my actual answer coming from a mile away because it’s nerdy prudes must die. listen to the summoning and tell me that isn’t ashe and the trickster. you literally can’t. also mid s2 ghostknife is SOOOOO if i loved you and closer to the finale they are so cool as i think i am reprise. alternative answer is the lighting thief because i think about dakota and good kid so so much

apotheosis: okay weird pick for this one. the bifrost incident by the mechanisms. which isn’t technically a musical but i think it fits well, i’m pretty sure i’ve talked about rumi and odin and peter and loki on here before? but thanatos is also very thor. ooo you wanna listen to this weird little steampunk space band sooooo bad

blood in the bayou: sorry for two starkid musicals on this list but like. i have no answer other than the guy who didn’t like musical. like otherworldly goop infecting and replacing people and they become part of a hivemind? how could i not. becky and kian singing join us and die. rolan singing let it out. come on. oh also bonus crazytown from 35mm is the rand song ever

the suckening: natasha pierre and the great comet of 1812. you have to hear me out on this one okay shilo is SO natasha rostova coded. also edward twilight is anatole kuragin coded but that’s much more cursed so i think about it less. arthur has the same depressed old man energy as pierre

[s0lar-ch3ri]

theory time!

so reasoning as to why i cant reblog the other one is just cause it doesnt allow videos when i reblog now which sucks but whatever so yeah! its a jrwi theory again, and whatever future info i have was 99% gathered from the wiki (the remaining one percent might not even show up in this theory so ye), and of course theres spoilers for the black rose one shot AND riptide pirates (dont have any exsct eps, all i can say is im at ep 101 now so anything before that is kinda fair game)

for the original theory post

k so we gonna put that one clip (scroll message, about a minute long) and talk about it, def mention all the connections gill would have with the black sea, shit like that

apologies for the buggy clip, just needed to add this and when i recorded i was in school aka just recorded like this for less risk, lets talk about the message though.

"a map that is a guide and a key passed around the hands of destiny, it leads to chaos infinity beneath the seas, the garden giant, the nameless prince, the unborn kings, all await to be inevitably free"

i think in my og theory post i talked on how gill was very connected to the black sea imo so how does all this tie in? lets do some quick lil notes first

ok so the scroll of legend lore has been held onto by gillion, the one closest to destiny's ties, and has not been used until now

chaos infinity while refering to the black sea could also be an undersea thing, what with the leviathins (nobody else remember how the pearl shard gillion has came from one? and how the pearl was never supposed to even see the light of day probs let alone be in some cat mans evil base? just me?)

while i wanna say aster mythborne aeiliana shes not real here so she cant be garden giant

BUT we do have a known leviathin(? could just be a dragon turtle) named duke who has plant shit and is controlled by a gollieth

nameless prince is everso chip coded but we looking all across our board here so yeah

it could apply that the "nameless prince" could refer to someone "unnamed" who holds power like that prince from edison kingdom or smth

it could also reference marshal jon, who's canon first name has been forgotten and canon last name is jon

unborn kings? honestly while i dont think chip's bit of mpreg is apart of this i think the lady inspiring it (aka aslana's mom) has some relations to this whole thing

we all read "kings" btw so theres probs multiple yall

would goobleck count? he is goobleck he must apply someway

non-literal one again? maybe their monsters or smth

wait to be free. huh. gee, i wonder, will the door nightmare with arlin come into play here. thatd be so fun. yeah. ahahaha im losing myself

okay okay maybe its not all clear and i honestly have had this as a draft for too long (as shown below)

BUT ill reblog this later cause ill really just be using text and images and shit

whats the basic idea? this is def where the oath from the sword comes into play (murdering destiny), with the whole "the black sea twists you" thing we may get hints of killion or even dark gillion again, the thign about it being a "key" might imply like a 'this means that' type deal rather then being actually a key, the chaos isnt really referring to the black sea but the state of the undersea in general (lost champion becomign criminal, ally shit gone, oversea war, etc), unnamed prince is either someone we havent met yet or someone who we dont expect to have a return (ie: were deemed before as not really lore relevant), and the unborn kings are monsters, oh and the garden giant isnt arlin but something related to the duke! THIS HAS TO CONNECT TO THE LEVIATHINS FR

some details/info about gill/things related to gill so i write this better:

"You promise to slay all evil before thee, crack corruption that takes hold of this world, strike swiftly enough to split the seas, and even if the thread of fate poses an obstacle against us, we shall sever it"

A hero born of moonlight, storm and sea. / They shall rise or fall to bring unity. / They will be tested or bested by evil’s hand. / By their choice one will remain: sea or land.

[enderspawn]

fuck it, jrwi riptide wizard101 school placements + in-depth reasoning below cut ^_^

GILLION

GILLION

SO ^-^ i placed gillion as a storm wizard with the secondary school of ice. part bc its the main types of magic he's used in canon, but also bc i feel like they're the most fitting

storm magic is ALL about high risk high reward. they have the lowest base HP and the lowest accuracy at only 70%, but they get the max fucking deeps. SO much damage dude. which feels fitting for gillion who also tends to go all in with combat even at great (usually personal) risk. they work best, at least early on, with a team to help make up for their low accuracy +general risky gameplay generally at the benefit of the whole group. plus, storm is like. half lightning themed half just ocean themed.

ice is only an average damage and accuracy school tbh, but where they excel is as the tank. they have access to tower shield, the best shield spell in the whole game which reduces damage by 50% AND they get the max base hp out of any school. which, again, works with gill bc he functions a LOT as the party tank + defender

its a fun contrast of him being made up of the glass canon and tank schools, but i chose storm as his best part bc i felt it fit better but also bc he was raised as a weapon to attack: he CHOSE to become a shield to defend. (also bc uh. i think gill only has a tiny bit more HP than jay, he mainly tanks so much bc his high AC and bc he's very reckless jfklsdjk)

EDIT: ALSO!!! I FUCKIN FORGOT STORM IS LOWEST ACCURACY AND MOST PRONE TO FIZZLES!!!!! SO LITERALLY THE CLASS MOST LIKELY TO FAIL JUST LIKE GILLION BEING A FUCKIN PROPHETIC SCREWUP

JAY

HHOUHOUHOUHH THIS ONE OKAY

so. controversial opinion, but jay is a balance wizard with fire as her secondary. I KNOW. IN CANON shes more fire coded, but within w101 terms i feel like balance fits WAY better

so balance is a kinda middle school. average damage, alright accuracy, etc. its unique quirk tho is that it's the buff/debuff school. and that doesn't mean relegated support either: balance base damage isnt much to write home about, but w all the traps and blades it can hit like a TRUCK (much like how jay can hit like a truck w her colossus slayer + hunters mark)

BUT, to do that damage it needs TIME. time to place all the traps and blades and build up pips (ESP if they're casting judgement). so they have to be deliberate and slower in their actions and use time to prepare, which i feel like is a fun way to show how jay is usually more (in theory) strategic in her fighting and how she's more reluctant to jump into battle. its equivalent to her having to take an action/bonus action to cast hunters mark, you use time in battle to give yourself an advantage when the time is right to strike.

but also..... balance in w101, thematically, is about duality. and duality is a MAJOR theme for jay in riptide, w the duality of being both navy and a pirate and having to balance those two sides of herself. her story is inherently ABOUT balance, so i feel like you HAVE to put her in that.

fire magic's main quirk is higher end damage + good chunk of AOE and damage over time spells. which, from my own experience, is actually a pretty shitty school to pair w balance bc it means you cant place traps half the time but shhhhhhhhhhh JFKDSLJ. honestly, the fire quirk doesn't have much connections within the gameplay front, mainly its thematic and taken from riptide itself. which is another reason for balance to be her main, bc it has more meaning

CHIP

chip...... i struggle with. no school in particular calls out to me for him. on my first post, i said myth wizard w life secondary. myth was part bc the fake name he came up with (Felix Lionsgold) FELT like a myth wizard name, part bc it just fit, but im not too sure tbh?

the life one i feel more confident on. life school's gimmick is healing, they get up to 7 healing spells and they can heal anyone (while most schools can only heal self without investing into life). funnily enough, chip is the one pc who CANT heal tho.

i feel like life works tho bc 1. symbolic due to the fact that chip has been LIVING for so long when like. mans shouldve died like 4 times. but despite all he goes through, he picks himself back up and keeps going. in this case, the heal spells are more for self-sustaining than support 2. life directly counters death magic, which i think is a neat way to work in chip's aversion to killing and death-- he LITERALLY is against it (and does more damage to it).

but...... despite it fitting best, i just cant see chip as a life wizard. for sure life as his SECOND SCHOOL, but not as his main. its too many healing spells +support, non-flashy damage, etc. he doesnt feel like a life wizard to me (and my main IS a life wizard, i know how it can play + clean up battles).

myth..... myth's gimmick is summoning, then later stun spells and some multihit attacks that can help get rid of shields (but dont work well w traps). it's pretty versatile and evolving over time which is a good description for many rogues. i think the stun and multihit can work w how he's a crafty lil rogue bitch whos good at going in for chip (heh) damage + how he can nope tf out of combat before the other person can hit him back-- stunning them in this case. but beyond that.... not much

the other school i considered for him is storm, but purely for aesthetic reasons-- gameplay wise, i actually think its a VERY poor fit for him. 1. i DO think arlin would be a storm wizard, so chip being storm could be a motif to arlin. 2, storm as mentioned is the water/ocean class and hes a pirate

...... thats all i got for storm. other than them both being squishy bitches, i got nothing.

despite my unsurity, i think i am gonna stick w myth + life for chip.

....actually, yeah, i REALLY fuck w that and you know why? myth and storm are opposite schools. they both do more damage to the other type-- its a fun foil between chip and gill, esp w ep 15 in mind. they're quite literally opposites.

and life is his secondary to be able to not only keep himself up but help others when he can (bc despite his outward selfishness, he cares a lot abt the ppl around him). neither school is uber flashy or cool, both are mid to low damage, but they're reliable and they're adaptable

[jrwiyuri]

Okay okay okay rant time rant time caused so many thoughts for episode 32 of jrwi so probably don’t read this unless you watched it- (a lot of these are going to be about chip but I just have a lot of emotions around him okaY?)

Loved the little bit where jay and gill were just making random teleport noises. Idk it was just fun and I enjoyed it :))

The good game high fives </3 (I remember being in soccer and having to do this)

Chip giving pretzel a snack and pretzel trusting chip again :’)

Chip trying to take the cat literally just so he can fuck with Gill

Oh god he has the fucking love potion now what dumbass idea is he going to try and fail with this thing?? (as funny as fish and chips would be I have 100% belief that it won’t happen and he’s going to try to like seduce a fucking enemy or some shit;;)

Oh yeah yeah chip fiddling with a coin :)))

Gill can’t whisper. That totally won’t backfire at all (I’m actually pretty sure he’s whispered before tho so lol it probably won’t ever backfire)

Captain Lizzie my absolute beloved <3

I have very mixed feelings about the whole war thing becuase on one hand it’s literally fucking war holy shit BUT on the other hand there’s a lot about pirating they don’t know and I have a feeling this is a lot more severe than we think- considering they killed whatever a fucking “pirate lord” is. (also gillion home might be fucking attacked?!!?!!!)

Side note I REALLY hope we learn more about pirating because knowing that grizzly had an actual pirate code written down plus this shit with pirate lords n stuff had me exited 👀 (god I love pirates and world building so much it’s so fuckin cool hell yes)

Chip really fucked with me emotionally when he lashed out tho fr like god chip yes you go protect ur friends from war bexause you care about them so deeply fucking hell ues *sobs* I shouldn’t have called u a bastard you are so based sir <3

Jay not wanting to go to war cause she would hurt her family wtf man 🧍‍♂️

Gill and moister man (I forgot his name I’m so sorry) doing some drunk spell casting with a little bit of trauma showing up!~ (haha funnies but also oh god aw fuck shit-)

But also seriously Gill wtf you said some stuff that I couldn’t quite understand but I feel like it’s new information and I WILL be going back to listen to it more 🔪🔪

Drunk chip trying to do a hand standing and jsut falling down like some dumbass, god I love him he’s an idiot <3

Jay being really sad and not wanting Gill to go to war wtf :(( (it was funny because haha drunk blabbering but also sHIT man jay really caring about Gill and not wanting him to leave and also possibly get hurt or even die man *sobs*)

Chip stopping jays sadnes by just fucking mocking gillion, what a fantastic group of friends LMAO

Them just in general being drunk idiots. I think they should drink more and I think earl should be their bartender (he gets a promotion finally <3)

Garfield the cat beating the shut out of some Vikings in an alleyway, interesting
