!ep 114 riptide spoilers under the cut!
One of the best moments in the episode for me was when Destiny's Blade materialised in Gillion's hand and spoke the words, "Chip is about to die."
I swear, I could feel time stop for Gillion. It felt like I was watching a movie or an anime, where there's a brief half second of breathless tension, where the camera pans in really close to the character. And then he /bolts/. There's no hesitation, he instinctively races to save Chip, burning up all his energy and resources just to reach him.
Even as he himself is in no condition to be saving anyone - a foot already at death's door - he bursts through and manages to somehow rescue him, all without keeling over.
I have a soft spot for all the Riptide pirates, but Gillion Tidestrider has my whole fucking heart. Yes, his terribly militarized upbringing has so much to do with how he acts, but this moment had nothing to do with him being a weapon for destruction. Gillion 'The One' Tidestrider didn't put himself in grave danger out of a sense of duty or honour. He materialised in that room because he saw someone he cared for almost bite the dust (again). He was willing to throw his whole life away, not recklessly, not to fulfill some vague prophecy, but because he wanted his best friend to live on to achieve what they'd fought so long and so hard for.
Gillion Tidestrider is a product of his environment, fighting and striving so hard to be a hero because that's what he was always meant to do. And yet, no prophecy or divine calling could make him fight as fiercely or as desperately as when he fights for the people he loves.

The one true way of keeping the riptide pirates from going somewhere is to put a “no shirt, no shoes, no service” sign in front of it. What’s Chip going to do?? Sheath his freshly tatted titties?? You think Gill is going to cage those horrifying webbed dogs???? Absolutely not. The only thing that can stop the riptide pirates is a reasonable dress code. The only one immune is Jay
