riptide triton hc: whale fall festivals

Charlie and Grizzly have spoken a bit about how the Undersea gods aren’t like, typical celestial godly figures but moreso just really big and really ancient creatures. We can also assume that they can in theory die.

Charlie mentioned in the Jonah Scott Rolled (#68 ~16 minutes in) that the Trench is loosely based off of a whale fall, so if an Undersea god was to die, would the population hold a celebration? This is getting really into headcanon territory, but I like to think that if an ancient god were to die, the power they accumulated goes back to the sea. The population may hold a celebration of life kind of festival, and maybe Gillion would’ve been expected to hold some kind of ceremony. Full circle moment.

#welcome back to rice thinking about fish people #also i think the term ‘gods’ might just be a loose translation on the undersea’s understanding of the word rather than something literal-#-for how we understand the term #like how maybe Aster and Lunadeyis are gods of certain concepts and the undersea creatures like Leviathans are just really powerful-#-and ancient creatures #with a level of conscience thought #also charlie and grizzly i want primordial as a language to have more of a plot impact #it’s one of the original languages of the undersea i want TRANSLATION ISSUES #jrwi riptide #riptide rambles
