Captain Ava & Captain Lizzie

literally cannot wait until we get more development on this plot bc it’s so so good

also I got around to listening to the Black Rose One-shot and Lizzie was originally blonde??? ik her design was changed a lot during the campaign in general but I’m deciding to play around with that info—I’m thinking she started dying it after joining Shadowbeard’s crew

anyways thoughts I had about Ava/the Ferin’s while designing her (possible spoilers or maybe just incoherent rambling):

gave her a rifle bc I feel like she’d have sharpshooting capabilities on par with Drey, but a pistol just didn’t seem appropriate for her. but I also see her favoring close-range attacks so she also gets a big knife as a treat

I think it’s mentioned in an episode how Jay looks more like their mother, May, so personally I think Ava resembles Jayson much more with certain aspects (specifically height, nose shape, eye color, hair ‘style’— Jay got his more square-ish face shape and broad build; they both have the same eye shape)

expanding on that fiery hair ‘style’ thing— I’m thinking that’s smthn that just kinda comes with the Ferin abilities and I’m thinking those powers need to be unlocked in a way?? there’s no other reason I can think of as to why Jayson has the flaming hair and specific magic skills while Jay doesn’t, so I’m thinking Ava may have been more in-tune with/naturally drawn towards the Ferin magic (esp since we see her using that golden form during the animatic sequence in ep101) while Jay become more influenced by May’s magic (since I think she spent the most time with her esp after Ava’s death). maybe Jay and Drey suppress their Ferin abilities (Drey def intentionally, Jay maybe a bit unintentionally?) and it could kinda explain why Jay has special blood: she’s a mix of two [supposedly] powerful magical heritages

I also have this thought that Ava may have unlocked these powers earlier than most of the Ferin’s, resulting in a fate similar to Gillion’s where she was regarded with pride for this yet constantly pressured and trained into becoming a weapon for the Navy (perhaps by request of Grandma Fey, who seems to be a very controlling character and could be the reason Jayson acts so cold and ruthless). and when she failed to uphold their beliefs that’s when The Order was given (maybe they found out about her & Lizzie???)

BUT in comparison to Jayson who absorbed himself in his work, and Gillion who was forcibly separated from his family, Ava was able to visit home often and had May and Jay to lean on as a support system. that connection alone could’ve helped separate the brutality and violence of her work in the Navy from her actual personality—the one that she became admired for and the one Lizzie was drawn to. it could also be speculated that she had the same ideas as Kira and Jay: that she could make the Navy better from the inside (obv this would be more difficult if she was held to high expectations, but she could’ve been on her way to making it work)

speaking of Jay—I think I remember a moment where someone explains how Jayson didn’t want her to join the Navy at all, and I always thought this was odd considering how it was moreso pointed towards her rather than Ava (as well as the fact that the Ferin’s ostracize those who don’t join, like Drey). this would coincide with my theory that Ava was expected to join bc of ‘unlocking’ her powers early, so maybe Jayson didn’t want Jay joining due to the fact that she hadn’t tapped into her Ferin powers yet, but Jay being Jay decided to enlist anyways and eventually gained a different motivation for her involvement than the rest of the clan [thanks to Kira & Ava]. or there was another thing at play. idk kinda just throwing smthn at the wall with this one bc that little comment stood out to me and I can’t remember if it even happened lol

also do we think the whole ‘sun nightmare’ is like,,, a test to unlock those abilities?? we know Jay and Drey opted to jump into it which kinda resulted in some magic golden eye phenomena (which we’ve seen in action once by Drey), but the issue here is when Jay rejected the heat the first time it just resulted in pain. so what would’ve been the option that leads the Ferin bloodline to become so powerful? do they choose to combat the sun?? do they conjure up heat of their own until they overpower it??? so many questions

gaaahhh I can’t wait until they’re out of the Black Sea so we can delve into this more bc I’m tired of feelin like this:

Ava Ferin

[for those that don't know, she is in fact not a child, it's just that the only canon art of her is when she was young hksfdhj]

"Not a single cis molecule in that woman's body. She's soooo MTF she/they and we love that for them" - Submitted For Transfem Swag "okay so brace yourself because i'm having thoughts. first of all, gotta address it, canon she/they pronouns so already a lil swag. and now for the thoughts. they kept an entire part of her life hidden from her family (including jay, who they loved so so much). she didn't tell anyone about lizzie. they also went against the family grain (much like jay) but in a more subtle way, with small rebellions like wanting to change the navy from within. also she's admired by characters like cedric (that one young navy recruit who i may end up submitting separately because idk he's got some vibes) and i think that's pretty swaggy of them. also fire hair is pretty epic. maybe this is more why they're a cool and swaggy character but i promise there's some transgendery stuff going on there" - Submitted For Nonbinary Swag

I cannot get Lizzie’s and Jays fight out of my head from ep 101. Thinking about how if/when they see each other again they just hug (probably wouldn’t be from Lizzie’s side, jay would go up and hug her) because they’re both Hurting and Jay sees that now. I’m thinking bout how they would tell each other their favorite stories about Ava, jay telling Lizzie about how much she looked up to her and Lizzie quietly muttering the same. Thinking about how if lizzie and Ava thought about running away and leaving everything behind to just be people and not their roles, to be happy and together and not stuck in the constant battles against each other.

I’m just thinking and thinking man, these tragic sapphics have my heart and I wish I could word things better cause man! I wanna write about em.

finally watched riptide 101 and i have some fucking THOUGHTS about ava ferin's death man. theres just so much to consider here! did her admiral have her killed on purpose, or was it overkill trying to get rid of shadowbeard? did they know she would be caught in the crossfire? did they care? was ava's death on purpose, done in such a way that R.A.F.T would have an excuse to outlaw piracy for good? a 'noble sacrifice' for a better cause? i am losing my mind over here.

had a Riptide concept that’s been eating away at my brain and now I gotta share it–

the Ferin lineage does boat burning (“viking style”) funerals for their family members, with a line of the Navy’s finest archers and the arrows ignited by those who have the fiery powers (which we can currently assume is most of them besides 2 that we know of)

now whatever you do, don’t imagine Ava Ferin lying at rest in a wooden boat drifting just off the coastline of Featherbrook island, surrounded by flowers and mementos of her life, adorned in her formal uniform or favorite dress and decorated with some of her Navy accolades. don’t imagine Jay Ferin, almost 20 years old, standing cliffside as part of the elite archery line, trembling as she nocks her arrow. her father, who hasn’t spoken a word in days after bringing home the news, mournfully preparing a flame to light the arrow’s point. her mother, with grief filled eyes fixed on Ava’s vessel the entire time, placing a reassuring hand on the shoulder.

don’t imagine Jay having to take one final breath before drawing back her bow, trying her hardest to keep her aim steady as her eyes begin to water, the flame of her arrow the only thing she could make out for a moment before providing the command to shoot with a shaky voice. don’t imagine Jay’s eyes staying trained on her arrow as it falls alongside her own tears, expertly landing just above Ava’s head, it’s fire the first to ignite the deceased captain’s floating pyre before the rest join, then flames rising to light the night as the sun sets.

The Ferin family looks on in silence for some time, but Jay is the only one who stays until Ava’s fire has been completely burned out.

#I like to think about angst in my spare time #near the end of writing this part of me was like ‘what if Jay has seen Ava as part of the archery line at one point’ #like fairly recently too #so it all just hurts her more #god why does the Ferin family have to be so tragic #just roll with it #just roll with it podcast #just roll with it riptide #jrwi #jrwi podcast #jrwi riptide #jrwi jay #jrwi jay ferin #jrwi ava #jrwi ava ferin

I got sad thinking about Ava Ferin and Lizzie so I will now subject everyone else to my thoughts;

“In A Crowd of Thousands” from the Anastasia Musical, but with Lizzie as Dimitri and Ava as Anastasia

imagine you're jay ferin. you're told ever since it happened that your sister was killed by pirates. and you believe it, because why wouldn't you. it aligns with everything else you've ever been taught about pirates.

the years pass and you join a pirate crew to find who did it. and they're nice, you discover. they're not like what you were taught at all. and you meet other pirates and somehow you agree with their cause. but there's still at least one of them out there that killed your sister, and you're ready to make them pay.

your second encounter with your father occurs and you're trying to convince him that not all pirates are bad, just as you've learnt, and then the grandberries arrive and he sees lizzie and caspian and asks you why you've sided with your sister's killers. you know he doesn't mean it generally.

so it was lizzie, you now know. which is already conflicting in itself because you were becoming friends and you thought you knew her. but it's fine. you go to confront her and chip says to be understanding, which of course he would because that's essentially his sister. then surely he'd understand your rage.

you barge in and confront her and she's crying. you're not sure why but then she says she loved your sister. and that. well that hardly matters if she killed them. she accuses the navy. raft. and in doing so practically blames your own family for the death of your sister. you've got these two narratives: your family blaming your friend, your friend blaming your family. i think i can understand why jay's so angry and confused
