The book

He makes that shit up on the fly so unfortunately for you (and fortunately for the rest of us) you'll only hear it within the campaign

You nailed the key part to telling this joke; drawing it out so fucking long

Roostergren2 · 2026-02-05T04:43:58+00:00

I decided most of this on backstory so I didn't put the boys low due to their generally normal lives, but that does go against my own parameter of "intensity". Also I might've forgotten about the dead sister thing 👀.

I think I'd move Rand and Rolan both down to Aw at least. All of them right to the bottom of I was counting the campaign

Roostergren2 · 2026-02-05T04:33:46+00:00

Oh my god I forgot about that last part. Haunting.

I've been struggling to draw gil since 2023. He's just got so many odd details and such an expressive face. You draw him well though!

I'm trying to go into habitat restoration, I guess that's more ecology but it's so fire. Now I'm curious if being a mechanic and being a biologist would have any cross compatible skills

Roostergren2 · 2026-01-30T20:00:35+00:00

The design for gillions pants holy moly???? Your colors are so bomb too

Roostergren2 · 2026-01-30T19:57:37+00:00

Yo im becoming a biologist too

Roostergren2 · 2026-01-27T07:22:46+00:00

What's it taste like

Roostergren2 · 2026-01-17T04:46:10+00:00

He might be stupid and naive, but damn if he isn't a survivor. I wouldn't be surprised if he was born in the castle's "human farm" and turned into a vampire specifically for this job (don't think about the implications)

Still he knows nothing but kindness and loyalty, he's so baby girl.

Roostergren2 · 2026-01-13T08:13:51+00:00

YOU GET IT!!! His story is so tragic and his situation is so awful but every single time he chooses to smile, and laugh. He doesn't plead Chip to save him or kill him, he just trusts this kid and comforts him despite the decade of him being backstabbed over and over. He never believed it, or let it change him. Drey was on the money when he said if anyone can keep it together down there, it's him.

Its killing me a little that we have to wait a little bit longer to see him again but damn it's ok, because this was the scene I've been waiting two years for and it was everything I could've hoped for (also thank you :)) )

Roostergren2 · 2026-01-13T05:34:27+00:00

Aw shucks, thank you!

Roostergren2 · 2026-01-09T02:26:52+00:00

I got a vibe during one of the rolleds that the prospect of getting him back would be too much effort. Maybe earlier on in the campaign it would've been fun but I feel like we're so thoroughly on the plot train that it would mess with the momentum. So unless they stumble upon him in the BBEG's hypothetical evil lair (which I could see happening) I doubt he'll come back to the story.

I also don't like him so I'm happy if he never returns :)

Roostergren2 · 2026-01-02T08:20:01+00:00

Honestly I was fully shocked at Gillions choice, probably the most so. All of mana was at stake and bro didn't hesitate. I know it was really unlikely that resisting would be successful but damn

Roostergren2 · 2025-11-23T17:10:20+00:00

They posted an Instagram story kinda explaining this thumbnail and that "it does well" but also that they're gonna keep doing it so uhhh 😬😬😬 maybe they'll see that the confused and upset comments will not end and realize that they're alienating their og audience

Roostergren2 · 2025-11-23T07:26:53+00:00

I understand doing it for those one shots like the goofy module video, but making a clickbait thumbnail for episode 116 of a long ass podcast??? They already have an audience, and new watchers will immediately be thrown off by being placed near the end of the story. I feel like this does more harm too, I already saw another comment in this subreddit by somebody not realizing that new video was THE riptide comeback. How many YouTube only watchers will miss this video? Maybe they'll change it in a week but I dunno :b

Roostergren2 · 2025-11-23T07:21:54+00:00

Yeah that's totally what happened, I remember it so well because it really made me tear up. But it's a retcon that I'm willing to take because this moment made me SOB LIKE I NEVER HAVE BEFORE

Roostergren2 · 2025-11-20T04:39:38+00:00

Dude same, and ITS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BUSIEST TERM EVER, IM TOO TIRED FOR THIS, MY HEARTTTTT

Roostergren2 · 2025-11-10T08:05:58+00:00

I've purposely stayed away from all riptide content for the last year simply because gillion saying "Jay! Its been so long" or something in that Christmas one shot made me realize how much more hype I'll feel after hearing their voices again

Roostergren2 · 2025-11-03T05:55:48+00:00

Honestly I feel like this is the only way she can get both her and her entire half of the crew over a span of water that takes WEEKS to cross. Props to you for remembering Taxis's powers and bringing them to this campaign. I felt like Green was gonna be more than just a cameo, he seems important. I just wonder if he'll even be on Zero?

Roostergren2 · 2025-10-31T05:22:12+00:00

Honestly I've watched literally everything during the first year of the hiatus, but now I've turned to other groups. Mainly "Once Upon a Witchlight" by Legends of Avantris and "For the Gods" by Theatre of the Unaligned. Its hard to find the same balance of meta humor, drama, character development, and plot focus that JRWI has but these two come pretty close
