Gilian headcanon? Theory?

I was just relistening to episode 54 of riptide and there is this one scene when Jocat's character is getting everyone's introductions and they introduce Gillian as fish, as usual, and he goes something like "ah triton", showing that he actually knows what he's talking about.

The thing is that Gillians reaction, his "yeh" doesn't just seem confirmational, but also surprised? And releaved? It sounds like he wasn't expecting someone to actually know what he was.

My THOUGHT is that, even though he doesn't mind to much, he was always kinda disappointed that his crew always just summarized and categorized him as "fish". It something i notice chip do alot and Gil always goes along with it but he never seems to enthusiastic about it?

Overall he has a very different culture and life experience as the other two and he seems very excited every time someone actually shows interest into his people and way of like, an example being when Chip actually asked him about the titans in the Dugon episode.

So i think that when JoCat's character actually KNOWS what Gillion is that he feel relieved and happy that he isn't just "fish" to him.

Grian's wings headcanon

I jave seen many depictions of grians wings and how they function so I thought I would share my idea. (It is probably not original)

So first off, the wings aren't always showing like other hermits elytra designs. They may be kept out more often then other hermits but they are put away alot when not in use. ( unlike most hermits where wings are something added on, Grian's wings are there originally there then hidden)

Secondly, the type of wing changes based on the season or setting. Season 6 (I think) is when they would be parrot wings and so on. Currently in season 10 I think they are some type of gull or sea bord. I personally like seagull because they are the true pesky bird. The wings at a base stage are white.

My idea that connects this to lore is that Grian had 3 sets of wings as a watcher and when he escaped and went to hermit craft, he lost the 3 sets of purple tinted watcher wings, and only had 1 set of white wings.

I like to think that his wings are always out during the life series as he is closer to the watchers and what not so he can't hide them. (I mostly just think it looks really cool)

I go back and forward between ear wings and bird feet, but I usually just imagine wings with nothing else.

These are just my thouaght, I love all of the many ideas the Fandom has, there are some really pretty, cute, and creative ideas that are quite different and I think that is what makes the Fandom so awsome.

Gillian Tidestrider and The Tick

So, I have been a fan of JRWI for awhile and Gillian has always been my favorite in riptide. Awhile after I started listening to jrwi, I discovered and watched the TV show The Tick, and I immediately thought "woah, this is totally an inspiration for Gillian Tidestrider. Charlie must have based him off of this guy". I then went on the internet scavenging for any connections or comments made about this and I found nothing. I can't find any body else who is talking about this so I don't know if I'm right or, maybe it's just a big coincidence? Idk, I wanna find out if I'm crazy or not.

Dead boy detective theory

This has already probably been said before but im going to say it again.

I think there is 2 possible reasons Edwin is always disguised as a girl.

Charles is the one that is making the disguises. I like the idea from another theory that Charles actually likes Edwin but it's just never been something that was on the table for him or he never thought deep into. Him making Edwin disguised as a girl could have been a subconscious way of making it more reasonable or possible.

2. Edwin decides the disguises for himself. This could also be another subconscious way of making his feelings attainable. He does seem standoffish of the idea of being gay, so perhaps that was a way to comfort himself.

Perhaps I missed something from the show and they already explained it but these were my silly little thoughts on the matter.
