JRWI: Riptide spoilers for basically like everything since episode #114 cause Iām gonna be talking about a specific thing with Jay, Chipās current arc, our girly AURORA BABYYYYYYY
So we agree that Chip, Jay, and Gillion are like basically on their way to being demigods right? Itās actually outright stated that Jay is a demigoddess because she and the rest of the Ferin family are descendants of Aster in 114 and Gillion calls her a demigod in 115. Anyways THATāS NOT MY POINT. I canāt wait to find out what Aurora Primrose basically becomes the demigod of in Riptide because whatever it is itās gonna tie in a theme CENTRAL TO HER CHARACTER.
Gillion, Chosen One of the Moon: Evolution, change like the phases of the moon. Heās always trying his best to hold onto the past, to refuse the idea that any change has occurred within him; heās terrified of who heāll become if he forgets his past and keeps moving onto the next phase of the lunar cycle so to speak.
Jay, demigoddess of the Sun: Perseverance, an eternal flame burning bright to help others grow. Sheāll be there no matter what, there to help the people around her. She might be the only Ferin who sees their connection to the sun as a form of resoluteness instead of it being OUTLASTING. The rest of the Ferins seem to think that because the sun will outlast all life in the world, itās a reason for them to conquer because they ARE the sun, thereās little pieces of the sunās fiery near-immortality within all of them, but Jay seems way more in-touch with the fact that it represents helping others grow with steadfastness and warmth, itāll always rise the next day, and so will Jay because she has too much to fight for to let the sun set permanently. It will rise again, and Jay will get back up.
Chip, Champion of Death: Rebirth, renewal through destruction that somehow seems to follow him endlessly. Death follows him like a curse and it almost wiped him out entirely in the Black Sea. The bride of death ripped out his heart and ate it and the father of desire (desire daddy lol) gave him a new one that revitalized him⦠and came with a purpose, a cost. All gifts from Niklaus do, after all. Heās a new person with this new heart, but it took him almost being gone to get it. Even just early-campaign Chip, gathering a Ferin and a Tidestrider at his sides, was trying to rebirth the Black Rose Pirates which INFAMOUSLY ended in tragedy. If the Black Rose Pirates never sank, the Riptide Pirates would never have sailed. Renewal through destruction.
So Iāve been wondering what Auroraās ādomainā, so to speak, would be. If Jay and Gillionās godly connections are opposites (Sun vs Moon), why not Chip and Auroraās? If Chip is Death, itās my theory or at least hope that Aurora is Life.
I mean like think about it, sheās a Druid. Druids are fundamentally tied to nature, to the life around her. Since her fear of uncertainty seems so core to her character I feel that could also be pointing her towards being some sort of demigod of life because life is INHERENTLY UNPREDICTABLE. Even them fearing what they are is core to their characters, Chip is the Champion of Death and heās afraid to kill, Jay is a demigoddess of the Sun and she canāt withstand the heat even in her own dreams, and Gillion is the Chosen One of the Moon, afraid to start waning when heās forced himself to stay at Full Moon for so long. AURORA READS THE SAME BOOKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSE SHE KNOWS WHAT THEYāRE GONNA SAY NEXT. WHAT IF AURORA IS GONNA BECOME A DEMIGOD OF LIFE CAUSE SHEāS AFRAID OF LIVING. IT KEEPS MOVING IT KEEPS GOING ITāS UTTERLY UNPREDICTABLE AND WONāT WAIT FOR HER TO MAKE A DECISION AND THATāS SOMETHING SHEāS EITHER GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN FAST OR RECKON WITH ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. Also insert here some kind of reference to the ice freezing her and her family being a way to preserve life.
Idk if theyāve talked about anything like this in the rolled yet but yeah thatās my thinking. Aurora Primrose, (insert cool title here) of Life when?? And even if itās not life I just hope she gets to be some kinda cool thing to go with a Chosen One, a demigoddess, and a Champion :p
