Congratulations & A Big Thanks to Jessica Rydill!

Those of you who watched my video on Jason Josephson-Storm’s The Myth of Disenchantment know that Jason kindly sent me a complimentary copy of his book as an award for the next winner of the FH Patreon prize draw. The draw has now come to an end, and I’m happy to announce FH supporter Jessica Rydill as the winner (since I’m self-isolating, Jessica thankfully agreed that I order another copy and…

@thatapostateboy replied to your post “Is there a ship name for Ryder/Gil yet??”

Gilder is the most common one I’ve seen but I don’t know if it’s the one that everyone’s agreed on because I’ve seen a few different variations

@marianzinner replied to your post “Is there a ship name for Ryder/Gil yet??”

Gilder is the most common one, but i like Rydil better i’ve seen that one too

Thank you! I’m probably gonna go with Gilder for now - I just needed to know so I know what ship name to tag some fics with once they’re finished. Rydil sounds cute too! ^^

4, 8, 16, 32 for ship asks... i dont know what ships you have yet so do for whivhever ship is your very favorite

I’ll do em for Ryder/Gil since I don’t talk about it enough

4. Which one spoils the other more and do they ever get competitive to show the other more love?

I would say Gil wins at spoiling because he wakes up early enough to make Ryder breakfast/coffee and do other little things for him whereas unless Ryder has something important to do in the morning he’ll sleep past noon every day. But they definitely do get competitive, especially when they’re out together. I think Ryder just knows he’s the slacker and sometimes needs to step up his game and fight to be the spoiler rather than the spoilee even if he knows Gil’s okay with it.

8. How does one comfort the other when the other is in distress/having a panic attack/crying                For Ryder, closeness/touching. He has a hard time talking when he’s distressed and words don’t really do it for him. Just the reaching out and contact and knowing he’s not alone that comes with a hug or an arm around him goes a long way, and Gil learned it pretty fast.As for Gil, listening, and staying calm, and offering solutions. If that isn’t working then a hand on his back or shoulder– he gets antsy if you get too touchy feely when he’s upset. Gil’s distress can be loud and he goes on tangents about the problem at hand, and he isn’t censored about it at all. (This is pure headcanon and never really shown in-game and I think Gil is generally really good at keeping his cool in almost all situations but if he did lose it I think it would be large and hectic and full of words and sputtering explanations of the issues he’s facing and why he’s not doing so hot.)16. Does one have an interest the other think is weird but wants to listen to it regardless                

Ryder with Gil’s extensive love for poker for sure. He doesn’t get it at all and he’s terrible at it and never wants to play it unless Gil says he can cheat, but he loves hearing Gil’s weird analyses and real-life applications he gets out of poke and what not. Especially when Gil’s a little drunk. Ryder thinks it’s completely weird and doesn’t buy a word but also that it’s friggin adorable.

It evens out when Ryder starts oversharing about SAM and AI and how he’s pissed that his career was destroyed because of the milky way’s laws. Gil often implies that Ryder is too passionate and would probably bow willingly before a robot overlord.32. Which one is better at cooking than the other and makes most the dinners               

Ryder can cook but I think Gil can too? I’m not sure… they’re both average at best I would assume and they can make mid-level meals and probably argue about which one of them is better or worse at cooking and eventually move to nit-picking each other’s dishes and “this is fine I guess you tried but wait til tomorrow’s dinner when /I’m/ doing the cooking.”Thanks for the ask this stuff is so fun~!
