caught up with riptide again. lowkey grateful for the slower upload schedule bc that meant i only had to catch up on three episodes :') and mannnn what episodes!! grizzly is so cool thank you grizzly for sharing your world with us

[gossamer-green]

so uh

may just passed out from exhaustion, right guys?

she cast greater restoration (a 5th level spell that requires diamond dust and can cure a curse) after she'd already run herself ragged running the tavern AND stayed up into the night taking care of gil, so she's just burnt out, right guys?

she just needs to sleep for a day or two and then she'll be back on her feet, right guys?

[gossamer-green]

i am so incredibly proud of jay ferin.

[gossamer-green]

catching up on pd and my heart is actually hurting from joy from the transplant working

[gossamer-green]

but...but...

but what about the power of friendship :((((

[gossamer-green]

hey guys, just caught up with riptide! :D

what :DDDDDDD

[gossamer-green]

Hey, you!

Yes, you!

Do you want a story that has some dark themes AND handles them with care? That'll hurt you in only good ways? Put deep aches in your chest that you'll appreciate? Rip your heart out and stomp it to pieces, and you'll thank it?

One that can also make you double over laughing OR freeze up in fear OR jump for joy?

Want a story that always does it damndest to treat its characters' relationships, flaws, strengths, growth, traumas, and shaky paths towards healing with the utmost respect?

Want a story where the biggest gripe you'll have about the ending is that it was an ending and you'll never get to see that universe or those characters again?

Then check out Just Roll With It (aka JRWI), a powerful DnD podcast featuring slimecicle, @condifiction​, @grizzlyplays​, and bizlychannel!

The main ongoing campaign, Riptide, is about a band of unlikely, oddball pirates, trying to make their own way in the world. They’re actually...pretty bad at the whole “being pirates” thing, to be honest.

You can watch it on the Just Roll With It Youtube channel,

or listen on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, or Podbean!

I say main campaign because they actually run multiple; you can check out the beginnings of the others, too, and they’re actually not all DnD:

Apotheosis is a completed DnD mini-campaign about a trio of godslayers. It’s as sick as it sounds.

Blood in the Bayou is a completed, four-episode Call of Cthulhu mini-series about three friends who reunite in their hometown, unaware of the horrors they’ll soon face. Keeper Slimecicle is Terrifying send help.

Prime Defenders is an ongoing Mutants and Masterminds campaign about a group of young superheroes. The first five episodes of this one are available for free! (But an additional much-beloved character shows up a little later...)

If you like any of what you see/hear from those little bites, you can get the rest (+ even MORE content—for example, an aftershow podcast) on the Just Roll With It Patreon!

if i had a nickel for every time that the dm giving bizly's character a super dangerous item swiftly ended in a disaster for charlie's character, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird and HORRIBLE that it happened TWICE.

so you’re telling me that the elders:

1. since gillion’s childhood, repeatedly ran him through simulations where they presented sleeping oversea enemy soldiers AND their families as evil threats to the undersea who must all be slain

2. since gillion’s childhood, repeatedly ran him through additional simulations where they presented to him an evil enemy—sometimes in the form of a navy soldier—who declared that they would commit more evil if left alive, then expressed disapproval when he did what he’d learned in the enemy camp simulation and focused on taking down the evil before him, never once explaining to him that his ultimate goal should be the wellbeing of his people

3. brought gillion to negotiations with the navy, whom they’d always presented to him as an evil threat to the undersea

4. banished gillion for attacking a naval officer during the negotiations

wtf

the scene of gillion trying to teach chip how to use his newfound magic gets me so emotional, because gil is being the teacher that he himself needed and never had.

gillion, who was given just a single try to succeed before being treated like a failure and whose subsequent unsuccessful attempts were treated as nothing more than a pile of additional disappointments, being patient with chip and encouraging him to keep trying, even though chip wanted to give up after his first failure.

gillion, whose struggles to succeed were met with disapproval and never with attempts to help him, reminding chip that he was capable and catering his guidance to chip’s way of thinking: handing him the stick again because it seemed like it had aided him, asking him how he had done magic back before he'd realised he was doing it, asking how his brain works and telling him to do it in the way that suits that.

gillion, who had been expected to do things in specific and rigid ways, seeing that chip's magic was manifesting in a form other than what he'd planned for and immediately encouraging and nurturing that new manifestation instead.

gillion, who had the terrifying weight of the prophecy forever on his mind while trying to learn, noticing that something else was affecting chip's performance and trying to get to that root issue.

and then gillion, who grew up being basically taught that he could never be enough and who is still struggling with that belief...responding to chip voicing the same belief about himself with, "for who? because it's enough for me. and i know it's enough for everyone else here."

My #1 post of 2022

little gillion in armour too big for him, so much weight—both figurative and literal—on his scrawny shoulders. covered in bruises because he was so early on in his intense training. holding a little frogtopus plush that would eventually be replaced with a real frogtopus in his older sister’s attempt to ease his terrible loneliness.

little jay neat in uniform, still on track to become who her father wanted her to be. clutching tight to her beloved doll, which her father would later destroy for being a distraction from that path.

little chip back when he was all alone, with nothing and no one. visibly malnourished and filthy because he had no one to feed him or help him stay clean. hair long and unkempt because he had no one to cut or detangle it.

please please tell me someone has drawn the yakko “help” screencap as ashe

[gossamer-green]

“chip are you trying to explode me with your brain?” implies that jay recognises the look on chip’s face because he’s tried to explode her with his mind before

[gossamer-green]

cutting back and both between characters in an intense scene and other characters somewhere else in a chill, silly scene is both one of my favourite things and least favourite things. on the one hand, comedic relief whew. on the other hand aaaAAGGHHHH WHAT’S GOIN ON OVER IN THE INTENSE SCENE RN

[gossamer-green]

if i'm right and mark doesn't know about ashe yet i am going to lose it. btw just so you know.

[gossamer-green]

are you seriously telling me i only have a few hours to process All That that happened in pd today before i have to witness the aftermath of the attempt on gillion’s life

[gossamer-green]

the difference between charlie and grizzly:

charlie realises that the nsfw artists are going to have a field day with this session, and he immediately backtracks

grizzly realises this and doubles down fearlessly

[gossamer-green]

“i’m not gonna ask you kids to risk your lives.”

“oh, you don’t need to. i’m sure we’ll end up doin’ it.”

STOP IT I’M GONNA CRYYYY

[gossamer-green]

the trickster using ashe’s voice is gonna haunt me btw
