Finn Tidestrider and Grimm thoughts because old man yaoi has been on my mind

Imagine early on, more than a decade ago, the black rose pirates landing on noctis, maybe for a goal maybe as a result of them travelling and finding new islands for their map.

Imagine them, similar to the riptide pirates finding out about the murder mystery, maybe it start as a ball that day, a masquerade. Imagine Grimm mingling with his guests back then, unaffected by the madness of his sorcery yet, and meeting finn tidestrider, a triton behind the mask, still learning about the ways of the oversea, with incredible charm and fascinating tales of the undersea and the reefsearching he was a part of. Imagine the afterparty after the murder mystery where Grimm invites the black rose pirates for talking about their adventures, to learn about more of the world and lands and items he wouldn't know of. Them sharing drinks and tales and maybe Grimm telling them about a relic or something on a nearby island to send them off to get that for him in exchange of coin. Maybe he tempts finn to stay back while they get that, tempting him with books and knowledge he's collected over the years at his library.

Maybe over these few days, finn and Grimm grow closer, from teaching finn more about the world and at night about himself.

Them working together, merging spells, trying to layer them, figuring out ways to combine different types of spells during the daytime and spending nights in each other's arms.

And alas comes the day when the black rose pirates return and notice there's a spark between them. Although it is basically a goodbye forever, considering how pirates lives are, it's a memory both of them would cherish

Imagine this. On the day grimm dies, after more than a decade he feels the familiar presence of finn, a sense of the magic they both once made and perfected... Imagine the yearning he must have felt with the overtones of the madness caused by the very same magic that was part of one of his highly cherished memories

"If the rest of my life was meant for this moment, then I wouldn't have changed a thing. My heart was a dark puckered hole, and you have filled it." Is such a raw fucking line to come from a book about a dnd character's grandfather fucking raw.

/// general riptide spoilers ???

just got to ep 93 of riptide on my relisten (when finn wakes up) and i can’t stop thinking about how during the feywild arc, when celestine was assessing the magic involved in apple’s transmutation spell, necromancy was one of the types listed.

when gillion finally gets through to the unconscious finn using the bracelets, finn keeps talking about his spell, asking if it worked, if it protected his crew. it’s clear that the spell finn had been casting (over the course of 100 years supposedly) was incredibly important, and likely the reason he ended up trapped as a bird. clearly finn had some knowledge of what may happen, considering he started preparing so far in advance. it might be part of the reason he left the undersea in the first place. but after waking up, with the spell’s resulting mental deterioration, he can’t provide the answers he may have once had.

(something about the spell feels very reminiscent of a deal. finn trading his knowledge and intellect, whether he did so intentionally. something he dedicated his life to. him being able to protect his crew, to a certain extent. and when he finally gets to see that his spell worked (?) he might not fully remember it’s significance. might not remember what he wanted. why he made that choice.)

during my relisten, i’ve really taken note that whenever any of the black rose crew are talking about the hole in the sea and what they remember, there’s some pretty big gaps in memory. they all recall falling unconscious at one point or another, and waking up somewhere else. drey struggles to remember a lot after being in the block so long. finn’s memory is waning, either from age or the effects of his spell. and initially, when chip talks about that day, he’s confident in what he remembers, and doesn’t seem to dwell much about losing consciousness and how he eventually ended up at skullslice port.

but when finn wakes up, and chip gets the third part of the map tattooed on his back, everyone’s confused. why wouldn’t it be on arlin, like they’d thought? why now?

drey says something along the lines of “why chip, though? he wasn’t even down there with us. you weren’t there, right chip?”

and chip doesn’t say anything.

i think the reason there’s so many gaps in memory is that maybe none of the black rose pirates made it out. maybe there’s a reason necromancy was involved in finn’s spell.

(THESE ARE THE RAMBLINGS OF A MADMAN BTW I DO NOT CLAIM TO HAVE A THEORY AND I MIGHT HAVE COMPLETELY MISREMEMBERED SHIT BUT I AM FULL OF SO MANY THOUGHTS)

JRWItober Day - 19 Black Rose

i intended for Drey and Finn to be more prominent but I loved this idea way too much man ;;

[razberrypuck]

one universal trait the tidestriders share is that they are fucking HORRIFYING when angry and/or incredibly passionate about something. this is only explicitly canon to finn and gillion but I know in my heart edyn and her parents are the same (heavy emphasis on edyn.) they're all also autistic but that's besides the point
