loves blood. 1000 wolf years old (5000 human years.) *imprints on you* my mothers name is shadow and my father is dead. i can smell emotion, particularly rage as i am attuned to it. my coat is actually not a color perceivable to the human eye, but it appears as black to the human eye because you can’t see how it is how cool it is.

They left behind the soldier

✿✿✿ The angel slayed the brother Laying him to rest But, they left behind the soldier

An ally's blade turned against him The weight of a hero placed on his shoulders A rapture laying waste to their world Leaving them panicked and lost And so, they left behind the soldier

And when they rebuilt His heart stayed on the battlefield With his brother, his general The world was rebuilt, but they left him stranded They left behind the soldier ✿✿✿

The time has finally come, @girlsonlytreehouse !!!

Today I shall share with you the fruits of my work. But first, allow me to take you on a journey I myself have been through while counting all of this shit down.

First things first, I decided to count the rolls in the context of the characters rather than the people playing them, simply because the luck of the actual people could not be measured accurately if I only take Riptide into consideration (and also I thought it would be more fun). The guys have several different campaigns, some that I do not have access to, so I've decided to seperate all their Riptide rolls into characters they play instead, cause then we can clearly see which character is the luckiest. But ofc if you want this to be attributed differently, the data remains unchanged, so that way you all can interpret the results however you wanted and still have all the info you need on hand.

Another issue were the advantage/disadvantage rolls. When a character rolls at advantage, they roll twice and the only roll that counts is the one that was higher, while the other is discarded and the opposite goes for disadvantage. So for example if you roll at Disadvantage and you roll a nat 20 and a 2, that nat 20 technically doesn't matter. Despite that I decided to count each adv/disadv roll anyway, because despite the fact that it does not count, it was still physically ROLLED, which means it contributes to the character's overall pool of luck. I tried to separate them at first so you guys can make your own decision whether to add them or not, but in the end I decided against it cause it was insanely hard to keep up with. There were just too many and too often, which led me to believe that it was fair enough to count everything as long as they actually rolled a dice.

Which brings me to the last complication, which is of course Gillion's Prophetic Screwup. At the beginning of the campaign Gillion was able to exchange anything that he actually rolled into a nat 20, and in return the DM can change any roll he does afterwards into a nat 1. That way there was supposed to be an equal number of wild unrolled nat 20's and nat 1's to balance Gillion out back to 0, but it didn't turn out this way. In more cases than not, Grizzly would either forget or fail to find a good place to screw Gillion over, so the ability bacame much too unbalanced. So they changed it somwhere in the middle of Edison Kingdom Arc. From then on, if Gill rolled anything from 1-10 it would automatically become a nat 1, and if he rolled from 11-20, that'd be a nat 20 instead. Either way these rolls had nothing to do with luck, as he wasn't actually rolling anything, thus I decided not to count these 'artificial' nat 20's/1's. However I did keep track of them nonetheless and I'll still give you the number of those, just separately, and from then on you guys can make your own decision on whether or not you wish to count it.

OOOFFF ALRIGHT.

Without further ado, here are the nat 20's results (up to ep106):

Gillion: 52

Chip: 58

Jay: 55

Goobleck: 8

Surprised? Yeah I was as well. First things first I never expected this to be this close. And never in my right mind could I possibly predict that it would he CHIP of all people to have the highest score here. But I've seen it with my own eyes. And tell you what. Jay had this in the bag for most of the damn series. She would consistently roll good and always when you need a good roll the most. There were times when she would have such a massive lead it was unthinkable she could loose it. But then she would just kinda...stop rolling good for a bit and allow the other two to catch up. It just wasn't as visble if you don't pay much attention, but I thought it to be cute. It's as she was waiting for them <3 But she was still mostly leading. It was only the current arc that made Chip surpass her. After his terrible luck in Feywilde, he bounced back so strongly right after, that he managed to jump in front of the luck queen herself.

And now I bet you're curious about the other side of the coin. Give it up for natural 1's!:

Gillion: 55

Chip: 53

Jay: 52

Goobleck: 1

You see, I kind of expected it to be Gill, but I need you guys to know that this wasn't the case at all times. Jay? Yes. If there is one thing that's consistent is that she had the lowest amount of natural 1s at all times almost, but the person that was suffering from nat 1 curse for a long while was Chip. In the Feywilde Arc he would be so far ahead of everyone, that I was genuinely sure that there is no way anyone catches up to him. But then he popped off in the next arc with nat 20's and Gillion? Oh my gosh, Gillion didn't disappoint. I've never seen a man fail this much let me tell you XD He ended up with the least nat 20's as well, but I thought the difference would be much higher until he didn't roll 4 fucking nat 20s in ep 100 and then this double nat 20 attack roll in the Black Sea whduihdius AND HE CAUGHT UP AS WELL, more or less.

Idunno, maybe this is just how luck works, but it truly seems that the trio shares their successes and burdens almost equally. They support each other and in return fate has their backs as well. Honestly I couldn't have hoped for better results. Also can we give shout out to Goobleck, the true MVP? He's been on the show only for a while but look at this nat1 - nat20 ratio!!! Go goop man goo!!!

So now for the additional stuff that I also counted just for fun:

*Prophethic screwup nats:

Before the rules changed Gillion replaced 8 of his rolls into natural 20s, and in return Grizzly replaced 3 of his rolls into natural 1s.

After the rules changed he only got high enough number for 4 nat 20s, and a low enough number for 7 nat 1s.

So that together makes additional 12 nat 20s and 10 nat 1s from the prophetic screwup alone. I don't think they should be added, but the numbers are there so feel free to do whatever you want with them :)

Downs and death saves:

Throughout the campaign Gillion went down 14 times and rolled 8 death saves.

Chip went down 6 times and rolled 4 death saves.

Jay went down 4 times and rolled 3 death saves.

No shocker here, Gillion dies a lot XD

Knights:

In their journey Gillion knighted 4 people: Julien Booker, Clorton, Garrieth and Duke.

Corruption score:

Thus far each character has the following amount of corruption points (Black Sea):

Gillion: 0

Chip: 2

Jay: 3

Queen: 1

Gryffon: 2 (i think, unsure abt that one, may edit later XD)

Earl: 1

That is all I have for now. I may be clinically insane :)

Good day to everyone and I hope you found this data interesting. Take care <3

Thinking about the Feywild arc again, (or the Gilli-gone arc as l've seen some people call it.)

I'm seeing a bunch of art come up again of Chip like cradling Destiny's Blade or being guided by Gillion and

ARGEHRG I REMEMBERED I HAVE THIS CLIP

My thoughts down here :0

I don't know how often we've seen Chip cry in Riptide, but this was so raw and heartbroken it HURTS so bad.

Chip blames himself first and foremost, because that's all he's always done. Everyone he's ever cared for he's lost without fail, and now he's losing Gillion all the same.

He should've seen this coming right? This is how it always goes. It's the same feeling of fault and guilt that leads him to consider leaving the crew later on.

“Gillion’s not here. Jay, Gillion’s not here.”

Without Gillion, Chip doesn’t know what to do.

The fact that Gillion just isn’t there upsets him enough. It doesn’t take long for Chip to panic and assume the worst, and he just misses him. Gillion isn’t there, and Chip has no idea where he is. He can only hope he’s alive.

It’s the same situation he’s found himself in his entire life, searching desperately for the family he lost with no leads or trace. Yet, he’s still willing to go to the ends of the earth to find them and he knows damn well he’s prepared to do the same for Gillion Tidestrider.

Then there’s the storm. Chip rows into the eye of the storm with Jay and is prepared to get STRUCK. BY. FUCKING! LIGHTNING! for GILLION. TIDESTRIDER. We already know this man is way too self-sacrificial but WAAAADGSHSHSH.

Mind you, Chip’s already physically and emotionally exhausted, but he still puts his life on the line to avoid risking Gillion’s life. He doesn’t even hesitate or consider as Jay tries to talk him out of it.

Honestly, I imagine it was Gillion who inspired him to do that. If the roles were reversed, Gillion would tear the world apart. Once Gillion makes up his mind, he’s not going back on it, and there’s no way Chip is going back on this. He’s gonna save Gillion, in the Gillion way.

It hurts seeing Chip of all people, with such little loved ones and so many families he’s lost, family is so so important to him. Gillion is so important to him. The poor guy can’t bear to lose again.

They mean so much to me asgshsfg,,

Thinking about an AU in which Jay, Chip and Gill meet much later in their life. When the things they used to believe become much more deeply rooted within them and they never get to see the other side. Chip, never betraying Price and sailing underneath him, maybe even working as bounty hunter in Reuben's little organization. Jay staying in the tavern and then training to become a Navy solider despite her father's protests. Gillion never getting banished and effectively becoming the Undersea's perfect weapon so alarmingly close in behavior to the evil version of himself he saw during his second trial in the pearl.

I imagine Jay allying herself with Reuben's bounty hunters, under Navy's orders of course, and being forced to work with Chip in one way or another. And at some point they get roped into something much much bigger, when that one fishgirl that has been working with the Navy for a while turns out to be affiliated with pirates as well, and after being found out she begs Jay and Chip to help her save her brother, who is being manipulated by the Undersea to make a devastating decision against his will, to fulfill a prophesy that may as well doom them all.

And in time they do just that. They work together, they get Gill out, they meet all over again, once more saving each other from the futures other people planned for them. I just think it would be neat.

Because I do genuinely think that no matter what happens or could have happened, these three would alway end up meeting. Cause the only destiny that will ever matter in this universe is that they belong with each other.

#THE ONLY DESTINY IN THE WORLD IS THAT THEY BELONG WITH EACHOTHER #this line took me out #doubled over in the break room

Hey. Hey anyone think about how before they went to the black sea what Chip most desired was for Gillion to see his sister again before they left. Hey anyone else think about that. About how what he most desired was something for Gillion. Just me?
