Thinking bout Chip Jrwi

This has spiraled from ramblings to character analysis to whatever it has turned into. I rewatched episodes too JUST to make sure I had the right information and plot points in mind cause I want to make sure I’m not making a fool of myself in front of all of Jrwiblr.. ANYWAYS! This is a lengthy read. Total words being 1318 under the cut. Yeah, I’d say the hyperfixation is hyperfixating for sure. Chip Jrwi you are my blorbo atm and you mean everything to me <3

Do you guys think that before they went to the Black Sea, before they left Canella, before they left the town of Zero that Chip looked at his crew, his friends, and his family and wondered if he should stop? Yeah, he lost his old family years ago, and he wanted to do everything in his power to bring them back, to do something about it that his 9-year-old self couldn’t. But do you ever stop and think that maybe he’s realized that he has a family now, a new one and that he’s afraid to lose it to the Black Sea as well? But they’ve come so far now, they found Drey and Finn, hell Finn had been with them the entire time!! They’ve come so far now, and they’re expecting him to want to keep going, to find Arlin, and maybe even some of the other crew they lost as well. I think about it a lot, maybe too much at this point.

Back in the Feywild when Chip could’ve reached out to anyone, he could’ve talked with Arlin again, but he didn’t. He didn’t because he saw something in his nightmares in Liquidis while being cured of his curse. He saw Arlin, covered and surrounded by this black ichor, and he talked to him again. He saw Arlin, the man who took him in when he had nowhere to go, and he had looked at him with so much rage and hatred.. and he had attacked Chip. This would honestly terrify me if I were in Chip’s place. The person who showed me all the care in the world suddenly turned and attacked me? And saying that this has happened before? In a nightmare situation that felt so real, Chip knew it was real… I’d be terrified to find him if he thinks I’m gonna kill him, he’d be fighting for his life too, I’m sure. The Black Sea has affected Arlin too, I don’t think they’ll be able to convince him that they aren’t going to kill him unless somehow Drey and Finn can get through to him, but it seems highly unlikely.

I think if Chip feels this way at all, maybe not like all I’ve written exactly, I think he feels immensely guilty. He doesn’t want Arlin to be trapped in the hole in the sea, but he’s also immensely terrified as to what he’s going to find once he gets to him. He doesn’t want the person he’s looked up to for so long, the person he’s risked his and his friends' lives for, to hate him. But I also feel that somewhere in his heart (or lack of one), Chip doesn’t blame Arlin for hating him, cause he’s starting to hate himself for getting his new family dragged down into this hole in the sea as well.

Yes, they all chose to come with him to the Black Sea, but if anything happens to them, Chip will forever blame himself for it. Hell, he lost his heart and he has no one other than himself to blame. Jay almost lost her leg (did she? They haven’t made it clear if she did) and I feel that Chip blames himself for that too. Yes, they helped save everyone on the island, but Gods is Chip scared he’s going to lose his family again. Being on this ocean reminds him of when he was just a scared little kid, but now he can do something about it. He’s trying but he’s still so fucking scared.

Speaking of his heart- he’s trying to hold onto himself. He’s an undead now, and by meta the mechanics of it are roughhhhh. I rambled a bit on another post about one of my characters named Amani, an opal Tiefling whom Chip is starting to remind me of- not exactly but they both have had their hearts taken!! Doing the checks to see if he loses a part of himself terrifies me each and every time and I know there’s going to be more, we can only hope the dice are in Bizly’s favor as we do not know when Chip will be able to get his heart back. It could be months from now, years maybe. I dread the session they head back to Zero and Chip is still undead. I dread Chip reuniting with Ollie. I don’t think Chip wants Ollie to see him that way, he can hide it with the bandana as much as he wants, but the stench of rotten flesh will give it away. Ollie told him to come back alive! Chip wasn’t able to keep that promise. It kills me to think that Chip dies at 19. Yeah he wasn’t a kid, but he was still so young- yeah he might come back once getting his heart but how much of his humanity will he have lost? How much life experience would he have gained in this undead state? He hasn’t even had the time to grieve the loss of himself with everything that's been going on, and I am really hoping with the next episode of Riptide we get to see some of his thoughts on being undead. Yes, he’s made jokes about it! But I feel he still hasn’t fully processed it all and once he finally does it's going to be PAINFUL.

He’s grown so much from this journey with Jay and Gillion, he was using them at the start, to get back his family. I mean I could be wrong here, but it certainly feels like it at the start of everything anyway. Along the way though, he started opening up a bit and he realized that while sailing and learning about the whereabouts of his family he’s lost, he’s made a new family. And it’s become precious to him. It shows how he has grown during the fights he had with Gillion, the first fight they had dealing with Chip lying and pranking him, wounding Gill’s pride. They resolved it after communicating and getting to know each other better. The second fight was initiated by Chip himself because he knew he was in the wrong and that he had hurt his friend by keeping the fact that Edyn was working with the Navy a secret. He remembered how much lying had hurt Gill, and as much as he didn’t want to tell him at the time, he wanted to protect Gillion from the truth of his sister potentially doing something dangerous behind his and his friends' backs. There hadn’t been much time in between Gillion escaping the pearl and the time that he found out about Edyn, and Chip had tried not to think about it but those damned bracelets (WHICH I WISH THEY WOULD USE MORE?? WHERE DID THEY GO-) outed him on those thoughts. He stayed up ALL NIGHT just to build the arena, just to show Gillion he was sorry and that he needed to fix it, he wanted to fix things between them both. He goes on and on about how Gillion’s actions helped him change for the better, about how he cares about him, and that he never meant to hurt him. Of course, this ends in them battling again, them starting the fight and Jay ending it like the girlboss she is, but this battle was never out of malice or anger, it is light-hearted and fun, and it shows that they’ve all grown stronger together.

I love Chip Jrwi, I am so happy that he got a second third chance at a family- He deserves it and the world. I totally will be coming back to this at some point but this is all I have to say for now! Feel free to reply/reblog to this with ur thoughts, or even send me an ask bout it cause I would love to continue talking about this boy!

This is my art account but I really want to talk about this and most my JRWI stuff is here so here’s a ramble about Chip’s character:

You know I’m planning on doing a storyboard on episode 41 of riptide and I’m just listening to the audio over and over and the bit where Ollie goes

“Yeah my mother would not recognize me.”

Chip so broken, so barely holding on by a thread, so shaky just goes

“Yeah—no—I, uh...”

The way he’s wracked with guilt over all of this stuff and after listening to him talk about Arlin and being on the Black Rose Ship merely seconds before, part of my brain latched onto something that I don’t think Bizly intended but...

Man hearing Ollie talk about his mother who he hasn’t seen in so long and how she wouldn’t recognize what he looks like now. Can’t help but imagine Chip thinking about what Arlin would think of him now or if he would even recognize him.

Chip then thinking about how his only familial member also went fucking missing and he is still looking for him to this day. He’s able to sympathize so much more with Ollie’s mother, a woman he has never even met than Ollie in that moment and he pulls him into a hug because he calls this boy his son, he is wracked with guilt for doing what he did to him (I could get into how the compass being trusted to Ollie is like the coin being trusted to Chip when he was younger but I’m not gonna do that rn).

Chip is so critically aware in that moment of how much of a screw up he is. He realizes that he is not the type of person that people look up like he did with Arlin, at least in his own eyes. He is not nearly close to the image in his head of what it means to be a pirate and it’s clear from his interactions with Lizzie but Ollie just goes far enough to show it.

But the one line from that episode that HAUNTS ME that I’ve seen maybe one person talk about:

“I’m not a good captain I’m barely even a good person!”

This scene is such a good pivotal moment for Chip’s character and I haven’t said anything about it because I wanted to see how Bizly was gonna handle Chip from that point forward and so far I love it.

Chip is surrounded by Jay, a navy girl that he helped escape her shitty familial situation to help rebel against the navy and everything. She tags along with things he does for certain but also calls him out on his bullshit behavior which is something he brushes off most the time but also he goes back to Jay to almost have her call him out on his bullshit, seeing how far he can push until she tells him to quit it or just even better, stops caring about what he’s doing.

Then there’s Gillion Tidestrider, the pinnacle of goodness and heroics. Gil has challenged Chip from the start in a lot of different ways but definitely ideologically. They are always butting heads on what boundaries to cross and what not to, the way they handle enemies is the clearest definition of this. His good natured fishman who literally almost killed him wasn’t enough to have him take a look at his behavior completely though.

It takes this child being affected by HIS actions and recklessness, EXCLUSIVELY to finally say something he knew for a long time out loud.

But moving forward I love that Chip has been trying to play into more good things because deep down he IS A GOOD PERSON! He doesn’t like killing people, when thieving it is to ensure the least amount of damage to those less fortunate, he wants to help people who are hurt or sick. He is a good person at the end of the day but he FINALLY wants to try to lean into it.

The scene of him on the ship checking in on the sick in episode 42 I think it is melts my heart because he tries he really tries, when they make it to the city of steam and he immediately talks about stealing from the rich in order to help the orphanage because DUH chip is gonna care about kids. It makes me so happy that Chip is just being himself after seeing Elizabeth after so long and potentially irreversibly messing up Ollie.

I just appreciate the way Chip’s character is growing and how he’s getting better at being a captain and friend to Gil and Jay. All of the characters are coming to their own, Jay’s decisiveness is great too in recent sessions and Gillion kind of leaning into more mischievous activities are amazing things to see!!

Anyway I very much appreciate the growth and rp these boys are providing!

More trying to give distraction with bitb: what scene like… shocked you the most? For me it was definitely either Rolan’s bug thing or Kian’s stockbroker reveal they were both just. Yeah.

(Also. I. I dont know if this is annoying to ask feel free to ignore it but i am kinda interested to know if you wanna tell me do you have a favorite part from my fics so far 👉👈)

Thank you <3 and Rolan being a bug and Kian being a stockbroker were definitely shock moments for me, but I think the fact that the brain similarity wasn’t even a red herring, it was just bizly making a connecting from nothing. Gosh, what else was a shock, lol sorry this is so stream of consciousness right now, but hmm. I think the fact that Rand was the only one to survive. Most of the campaign was spoiled for me but I didn’t know Rand survived and god just the fact that he could never escape Galloway kills me

ITS NOT ANNOYING AT ALL OMG I GET TO GUSH ABOUT YOUR FICS IM SO EXCITED!

1. I love Rand’s hallucinations and him not trusting reality especially after everything that happened in Galloway

2. Rand noticing Kian being Too Still and not acting like himself and being able to easily tell when she’s lying, chefs kiss I love that fact and I love how Rand is so attentive to that fact

3. Rolan being bug. Ok, just everything about that is amazing. The bug talking in his mind constantly and worriedly chattering about missing the hive and queen but it slowly shifting and being calmed with the help of Kian and Rand is so amazing I adore it

4. Kian trying so hard to act like everything is fine while slowly breaking apart kills me. They’re just trying their hardest to be ok and to help the others and it breaks me a bit. I love it. She’s just such a good people person and able to read the others so well and knows what to say, but doesn’t know the first step to help herself. He’s just everything to me, I love him

5. Kian’s forceful dissociation when music plays is such a nice touch and call back to everything with Becky, it’s perfect

6. Rolan being able to shift to a more human appearance is such a cool detail and aspect for him I really really like it

7. Maybe it’s just because I relate too much to Rand and understand him too well, but the way you write him is amazing. He just tries so hard but his anger and paranoia just gets in the way and I love how Kian knows how to navigate it and not give into that while Rolan is also frustrated and does give into the petty fights

8. Rand’s hallucination of Rachel, that was so well done and I love it

9. Just god so much is so good and so well written I love your collection, it’s amazing
