THANK THE PEOPLE IN THE RIPTIDE RP SERVER FOR MAKING ME DRAW THESE GAY PEOPLE/lh

Also Im late for Valentines, except Lint, so I made these for that too!

We have mostly Prime Defenders ships and also NAVY SEAL YAYAYYAY

Im honestly really proud of these drawings of the little guys and also it was my first time drawing Lint, Cantrip, and Summer so yeah! Hopefully they are good in everyone else’s eyes

There is just something about Grizzly’s characters that make my brain go BRRRRRRRRR

WE HAVE KIAN, ELENA, AND QUEEN AND I LOVE ALL THREE OF THEM YET THERE ARE SO MANY DETAILS FOR THEM 😭😭😭

For Elena I decided to give them an outfit that I have worn before since I felt like it would be something they’d wear. It’s basically a spirited away sweater that has soot sprites on it with some 1975 (I think) merch and a cool skirt with doc martens. THEY DESERVE THE OUTFIT!!!

Also I hated drawing Kian’s fucking sweater it made my hand cramp up it sucked but I was able to do it!

MERRY NEW YEARS YALL

I GIVE YOU ANGELSTONE AND A SCRUNKLY LOOKING WILLIAM WISP in a way

ALSO also I did draw a few things from the riptide crystmas oneshot too!

I hope yall like the new art :D

TWO POSTS?!?!? IN ONE MONTH?!????? Its more likely than you’d think

For this new year I want to post more in general then just every few months. I havent been as active as I would have liked this year on any of my accounts, and I think I deserve a small apology even though this platform isn’t even that big. So for the new year I have made it my goal to make more art and posts on here and on other platforms too!

Have a happy holiday and I hope y’all had a good year. Maybe next year will bring us something better.

EDIT: HAVE YALL SEEN THE RIPTIDE CHRISTMAS ONESHOT?!?!? MERRY FISHMAS OR CRYSTMAS IG HUZZAAA‼️‼️‼️

Just finished Riptide recently, and now I want to feel something!!!

So if you'd like, could y'all share moments or lines from the campaign that made y'all emotional and maybe even cry?? Episode numbers included would be appreciated <3

she deserves to get a big gun

i am not dead!!! sorry for being inactive

I would work on this more but then I think it would never be finished

being a JRWI and TOH fan right now is so crazy, like it is twice in the past week that I have cried over a fictional bird. that's not a lot but it's really weird that it happened twice

i just think it would be neat if the trio ended up on an island with a false hydra

chip's got -1 to his wisdom saves, so he'd probably be the first to fail the check. it'd be fucking hilarious if he didn't though, because you know he'd see one (1) hint of an eldritch monster and immediately try to force the others off the island

jay and gill both have +1 for wisdom saves, so they might last a little longer than chip. again, either way it'd be funny, because either they'd all be oblivious or jay/chip would be trying to just get everyone back on the boat. i know for a fact that if gillion passed the save it would not make a difference at all. his solution to seeing unholy abominations is just to stab them

and then there's the island's inhabitants. grizzly has a habit of making NPCs that people love, then putting them in bad situations, and a false hydra scenario is perfect for that. imagine meeting the nicest, coolest fucking NPC, then the trio wake up the next day and apparently that person never even existed

also gill's divine sense, that'd be interesting. depending on who fails the wisdom saves and how quickly, it might take him a while to try it. and what would that feel like? just how much of the island would be covered in that evil energy? would he be able to sense when/where people have been erased? or would all that energy have been erased too, and he's just unable to sense anything?

mm i have more thoughts but only so much time. i just think it'd be a cool encounter

Some JRWI fanart, my best work tbh

A EDYN TIDESTRIDER FROM MY FIRST WATERCOLOR PENCIL ART!!!!

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

Hero of the Deep 🌊🐟

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Felt like a crime that I, an avid fish n chips enjoyer, never once drew that nat20 kiss, so. Here you guys go!
