Hey, hi guys. Real quick before I continue, spoilers for JWRI Riptide episode 114, but uhhhhh

IS FUCKING DREY A GOD DAMN DOPPELGANGER?!?

Sorry, sorry, but !!!!

Because let me tell you, when listening to Jay's grandma talk on the shell about the Black Sea project, I was extremely confused why the fuck she mentioned her son.

"The machine is stable. My son is stable..."

I originally thought of Jayson. Made sense to me, the guy was really pissed the last time we saw him and I sometimes forget that Drey is also a Ferin, so stable in my mind was mental health wise. Then I was thinking about it, and realized her son's mental health had nothing to do with the project so why the fuck would she mention it in her log. AND THEN my brother (who recommended JRWI to me) that had the "oh shit it's probably Drey" moment and honestly, he's probably fucking right!

Drey, who has memory problems. Drey, who can't use his arms. Drey, WHO HAS BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME!

And with Dopple Gillion, we know that the clone has some of the memories of the other person and the somewhat the same abilities, so it makes sense that we wouldn't know Drey was a fake, if he is a fake.

I still kinda think it might be Jayson. The clones can be somewhat manipulated. If the real Jayson was dead/dying, it would make sense that his mom would just clone her son. The perfect soldier. I mean, the guy had been away from his family for a long time. If he came back weird, no one would notice.

Either which way, Jay's fucking grandma experimented on one of her son's. One of the Ferin boys aren't real.

Jayson & I watched Barbie last night. I thought it was a silly lil movie, one of the ones where you can laugh and cringe about the over the top relatable experiences.

But Jayson CRIED at the end?!?! And then I go online and a LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CRYING?!? And talking about how it hit em in the mommy issues department, or reminded them of the mother-daughter connection?!?!

All this movie taught me is that my job should also be Beach. I think my mother fucked me up in a way different way than some of these Barbie girlies moms did.

He supposed technically his cousins could be allies. At least Nathan looked like he wanted to be here about as much as Nicholas did. Except Nathan wasn’t hiding it nearly as well. 

The younger Chun-Helios boys were fidgeting in their seats while they ate. They were clearly bored, but they were either taught better manners, or too worried about their parent’s opinions to do anything more than kick their feet restlessly. 

Abe looked like he was hanging on to every word that Elaine and Abraham spoke, whether out of interest or nervousness, Nicholas wasn’t sure.

No wait okay jay and may right. Mother and daughter but not just that: its mother and daughter surrounded by empty rooms. A slow funnel out the door to the ocean leaving them alone with their grief.

Drey's gone to be a pirate, but thats fine cause may serves pirates at her bar even if jayson hates it. Jay just wants to know where her uncle went but its fine cause avas still there. But then they hear about the black sea and then they never hear from drey again. (Jayson never told them he found him. Jayson never told them what happened.)

But then ava joins raft and they couldnt be more proud. But now may has less help in the bar but thats okay cause jays getting older and the town loves her and its fine. Theres no one for jay to play with anymore but thats okay cause shes likes to help her mom! May doesnt sleep because her husband doesnt come home at night and her daughters somewhere she cant reach (did may hate the idea of her daughters joining raft? Did she know she could never keep her family from the sea? Is the fate of a Ferin to have their fire doused?). Then they get a letter and ava's never coming home. And Jayson stops visiting all together.

So May loses her brother in law, then her daughter, and finally her husband. Because hes becoming what his family's meant to. A force on the sea, out to kill whoever killed their baby. But may cant deal with her grief, because shes got another little girl whos terrified but shes even more angry. So they hold each other up, in an empty house with a bar that never stops because may is not someone who stops caring and she will care for this place and all it attracts.

And then jay meets a pirate with stories of a man she hadnt heard about in forever and hasnt seen for even longer. And jay gets up and leaves the nest with much hesitancy because she knows then her mother would be alone and as much as jays afraid of something happening while shes gone shes afraid of abandoning the woman who had been left countless times. But mays never anything but selfless, and she knows she could've never kept a ferin from the ocean. So may is left again and jay never stops writing her letters like everyone else did. Because jay never wishes to abandon her mother.

There is something special to me ab may and jay's relationship because they are all they have left anymore. I think the moment of jay yelling and begging for jayson to go home to his wife was probably something she wished for even before she turned on raft. Because the moment her sister died she stopped being a child she became her mothers equal. And i cant imagine how much it pained her that not only had her father left her, for his work, that he tried to kill her and her new family, but that now he was keeping her from her mother who was dying. Who she loves because thats the woman who raised her on her own and loved her with everything she had and now her father refused to check on his wife to the point he thought jay was lying to him trying to leverage may (jay probably couldnt even fathom that because it had never worked before, either of them in pain was never enough to make him stay)

I wonder if may's "he does love you" comes from a place of begging that he had a reason to abandon them. And i think if may dies jay would never forgive her father and i think it would ruin her.

Anyways all this to say i am very normal about the ferins and may and jay and what theyve gone through together.
