OKAY so the whole aesthetic of the event was based around the hermit tarot card right. ena and kanade were the upright hermit (representing introspection and self discovery) while mafuyu and mizuki were reversed hermit (representing isolation and avoidance), as seen in the lower mv. card-wise, mizuki was specifically given the title of reverse hermit since the whole event focused on their reluctance to tell their secret to the rest of the band while ena was the hermit searcher as the one to reach out to mizuki and let them know they’re supported.

applying this framework to the riptide pirates, imo jay and gillion are represented by the reverse hermit while chip is upright. jay & gill spend much of riptide withdrawn and secretive while held back by the burdens of their past, oftentimes hiding from them like with jay being unable to tell her grandmother about her status as a pirate. chip, meanwhile, is the person that reached out to them and sees through the front they put up (i.e “I don’t believe that” in the block).

Therefore:

• In a jrwi version of prosekai, this would be a Jay and Chip centric event.

• Jay would have Mizuki’s card, paralleling the whole “big secret” + Jay is currently the most burdened by her big character conflict. They’re also both transfem ^-^

• Chip would have Ena’s card, being the one to offer Jay unconditional support while giving her the space to self reflect like Ena does with Mizuki in the event.

• Gillion would have Mafuyu’s card as the fellow reverse hermit.

• Bonus, I think it’d be fun if Niklaus had Meiko’s card (called scales of justice) bc I think the scales are fun symbolism

I have deranged thoughts about riptide pirates versions of the nightcord cards from the lower one’s eyes event does anyone want to hear them (rhetorical question you will hear them)
