I FINISHED 118, I HAVE SO MANY FUCKING THOUGHTS, SO LET'S JUST GET INTO THIS SHIT
SPOILERS BELOW CUT, YOU KNOW THE DRILL, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE DONE THIS
1. Charlie appearing out of nowhere behind Condi to promote the merch was fucking hilarious, as well as hearing him commentate in the background, especially when Jay and Caspian were talking about Gil's last name and you can just hear Charlie say, "Fuck you!" It was great
2. THE JAZZ PIRATES ARE HERE, CAPTAIN DRAKE SAW JAY, TIWKDJEOFJEFIEJ I've missed them
3. Grizzly mentioned a secret at the beginning that he didn't want to share unless Condi rolled a nat 20, which he didn't. I'll mention what I'm pretty sure the secret was later :3
4. There are a bunch of crews at the hideout, here are the crews: Grandberry Pirates (Capt. Elizabeth Lafayette), Jazz Pirates (Capt. Jasmine Drake), Soaring Rex Pirates (Capt. Violet Rex), Locked In Pirates (Capt. Locke), Excellent Pirates (Capt. Bill & Ted), The Expeditioners (Capt. Gustave), The Many Merry Pirates (Capt. Robin Hood) (omfg, like from the book, holy shit), and The Gold Band Pirates (Capt. Sciel)
5. JOHNNNNNNNN!! Someone needs to yell it b/c Gillion isn't here lol. He has a pet mole with 2 eye patches and the mole has been named Doppy and I love it and I will cry if Doppy ends up not being okay
6. Captain Monsoon trying to comfort Jay about her grandma was very sweet, but I also don't trust him one tiny bit. ALSO, CEDRIC MENTIONED, WE HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN FOREVER. Also Captain Monsoon is a germaphobe and I think that that's cringe, especially since he's working in the Navy-
7. Faye Ferin... holy shit, where do I even START?? She's tall af and also partially a dragon??? H U H??? Idfk, but I don't trust her either. ALSO, SHE LOOKS YOUNG BUT IS, LIKE, 80, THAT'S SUS AS HELL
8. Jay calling Chip scrawny and Grizzly saying how he wished Bizly was here to hear that, just- Chip and Jay are sibling coded, your honor. I miss them TwT
9. Faye mentioned that she couldn't contact Jay at all, which APPARENTLY INCLUDES DIVINATION AND THANK FUCK FOR CELESTINE'S BRACELET-
10. Faye knows about Niklaus and he has been 100% confirmed to be Captain Hendrix. She also knows that he made deals with the crew (except for Jay, who lied lol).
11. Jay's eye is connected to someone called Solar Mother. She could be Aster (the Sun Goddess) and apparently Jayson also has a connection to her, same with Ava, who was apparently the closest to reaching Faye's power level
12. THE MONSTER FROM EPISODE 114 THAT ATTACKED THE CREW IS CURRENTLY TRYING TO BE CONTROLLED BY FAYE, WHAT THE FUCK- THAT'S SUS AS SHIT
13. I'm very curious about what Captain Monsoon told Faye, but I'm guessing that it has to do with Lizzie and her crew breaking into the Bastion, since Faye came back with a much more serious attitude
14. JAY'S PIN HAS A FUCKING WIRE IN IT, WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE IS WHAT THE SECRET WAS. HOLY SHIT, I WAS GENUINELY NOT EXPECTING THAT. Which means that Jayson's pin, which is still with the crew, also has a wire in it and that means Faye can probably hear them too. At least, I think they still have the pin. All I remember is that Gil used it in 108 and that's it lol (if they don't have Jayson's pin anymore, please lemme know-). Also, all of the Ferins who passed have their pins in there, including Ava's pin. Wait, does Drey's have a wire in it as well? Does he know about it? I don't think he does because he would've told Jay about it. I'm also curious if May (Jay's mom) has a pin, which I don't think she does. And did Faye make the pins or did she have someone else make them? I have so many thoughts about the pins, holy shit-
15. The vanity in Faye's office is used for Divination, as Jay discovers. Also, I wonder why her reflection shifts to Ava's? I'm very curious about that, hehe
16. Jayson wants to take time off because his wife isn't doing well, I cryyyyyy. I'm curious about whether her magic was connected to the tree that Gil and Green spoke to in episode 110 or if it's something else entirely. And I hope that Jay's mom is okay if that is the case. Also, I think it's strange that he didn't bring up the events of episode 100 at all, but I'm glad he didn't
17. I wonder what would have happened if Jay had chosen to become a Vice Admiral. Because I'm wondering if Faye would've kept her end of the bargain or would've forced Jay to kill her best friends... just something I'm thinking about
18. I FUCKING KNEW IT, I FUCKING KNEW THAT FAYE KILLED AVA, HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT. PLUS, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP AND THE DIRECTION THAT THE COMPASS POINTED IN FOR JAY WHEN SHE FIRST USED IT, IT POINTS DIRECTLY TO THE SOLSTICE STRONGHOLD. I'm going fucking crazy, I haven't been right about a theory since A!Aimsey being a God and that was over a year ago, jfksnfdkjfwkfjwkfjwjdj- I'M ON A FUCKING STREAK!!
19. I wanted Jay to break that fucking pin so badly and I'm SO HAPPY SHE DID!! Because, to me, it has always symbolized that she still feels a strong connection with her family who are in the Navy. But the moment she broke it, she broke those chains that stopped her from fighting against the Navy, fighting against her family. And I think that's beautiful. The eagle has spread her feathers and she shall fly away from the nest that she had been in her whole life. (Damn, sick ass line, me-). Also, "I've spent my entire life proud of my family, looking up to Ava, my dad, you, and just being proud of who I am, of being a Ferin. They say you can't choose your family. I've always thought I got so, so lucky. But for God's sake, I'm a pirate. Why do I have to follow those rules? I have chosen my family. And I choose them." I just, I'm so so happy for Jay
20. Okay, I hate Faye Ferin with all of my heart, but her saying "Solar Mother, help me. I wish my son didn't birth such tainted women," is such a badass line, fjejfjejdnek. It's so cool
21. LIZZIE'S MIDDLE NAME IS CHEYENNE, LIKE THE CHEF FROM THE BLACK ROSE WHO SHE WASHED ASHORE WITH, OMFG I SOB
22. My reaction to finding out that Meteor Swarm does 40d6 damage if you fail the Dex save:
Sibling J (@/ just-your-average-lenjoyer) looked it up and I freaked tf out, deadass
23. Now, I obviously know that this was entirely based on chance, but I find it interesting that the total amount of damage that Lizzie took from Meteor Swarm being 143 very interesting, because, in case you didn't know, 143 often means "I love you," 1 being for the number of letters in I, 4 for the number of letters in love, and 3 for the number of letters in you. Just something to think about! BECAUSE AGAIN, IT WAS ENTIRELY UP TO CHANCE, AND IT COULD'VE BEEN ANY NUMBER-
24. THE SIDE-EYE THAT CONDI GAVE TO GRIZZLY WHEN HE BROUGHT UP THE CORRUPTED DECK OF MANY THINGS, HOLY SHIT. I'm also extremely curious if the Deck of Many Things being corrupted by the Black Sea will affect the results of whatever card you pull negatively. Just something I thought about and told my siblings.
25. I wonder what Lizzie's reaction will be when she finds out that Faye killed Ava. Especially since Lizzie didn't know who gave the order to have Ava killed and she was so frustrated about it too, so I wonder how angry she'll be when she finds out
26. PETER. THE FEMME VOICE WHO FROZE THE WATER IS HERE. Holy shit, I really really hope we'll learn who it is soon. Also, I'm even more curious about how they froze the water in the Black Sea AND in the Viridis Sea at the same time, because that would require a LOT of magic. Holy shit, if it's fucking Lunadeyis, I will LOSE MY MIND-
27. Something something, PistolWhip community is healing, something something
28. Jay believing that all of this was entirely her fault and just wanting it to be over, just- Jay, my beloved, why must you ALSO BE RELATABLE??? I ALREADY HEAVILY RELATE TO BOTH GILLION TIDESTRIDER AND CHIP, SO ISTFG IF YOU ALSO BECOME RELATABLE I WILL LOSE. MY. SHIT
29. Grizzly drawing the pin into Condi's notebook the day before and putting "THE PIN?" by it the day before the current session is the most INSANE SUBTLE FORSHADOWING EVER AND I WANT TO SEE EDITS OF THE SUBTLE FORSHADOWING MEME WITH THAT, P L E A S E
30. Before the water froze, I believe either a Navy ship or the Grandberry Pirates's ship blew up and I don't know how to feel about that, I'm just hoping that John and the mole are both okay!
And yeah! Those are all of my thoughts! Holy shit, someone hire me so I can fucking watch episode 119 because I don't want to wait 2 weeks for it sofsofjwkfwjcjwdjsk. Thank you for reading, I shall now curl up into a little ball and be sad because I have to wait. I KNEW THIS EPISODE WOULD BREAK MY HEART, IT HAD "FERIN" IN THE TITLE AND THAT MEANS THAT EVERYTHING'S GOING TO GO TO SHIT, IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!
