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.

upon leaving seamart clorten immediately got lost again and just kinda floated island to island. at some point he ran into la alma while grocery shopping and after discovering they both knew the riptide crew they decided to stick together for a bit (clorten hoped having la alma guide/sail would make them less lost. it does not. his helplessness knows no bounds)

eventually the two sail up upon dooke and meet duke dukem who invites them to live w him (bc like dooke is chill but all the living plants and shit are kind of annoying and he doesnt like them and hes going a BIT mad here alone). they just like shrug and accept it.

after like a month together tastrius washes up on their shore, like full family guy death pose covered in seaweed (dooke picked him up and put him there). duke is like "hey dude welcome to my island. whats up." and tastrius gives this big long and elegant story abt how hes cursed to live forever and he's been drifting in the sea currents but at least he could finally set his crew to rest and after theres this heavy pause and duke is like. "cool wanna join my town theres 3 of us" and tastruis just goes "....yes".
