This headcanon is just for the "one true god" jokes so it's not that serious

noble bay
#

This is hilarious

I spread this dumb ahh hc everywhere cause im poc but

My dude caspian is literally the face of "evil" light skinsšŸ˜” ]

#

In my heart tritons are filipino and primordial is tagalog

#

(I am filipino but since I live in the Philippines and not in any western country it means I'm technically not POC)

Lizzie only wears gold jewellery because it reminds her of Ava (navy colours include gold in jrwi)

I think one tiem when they were docked, Jay took gillion to like a spaw / bathhouse and he experience fragrant bubble bath luxury and really liked it

#

But he is fishy and is sensitive to some of the oils so he got sick, so now when he's in his barrell he'll add flowers to it for his own mini spa day <3

#

I think Gillion would enjoy hot spring baths

#

I once went to a pool party at a hot spring pool and it was really nice

#

You don't get shocked by the temperature like with normal pools

#

Gillion though would like to actually have a bath to relax in

#

Especially with how sore his muscles would be from fighting

#

Lizzie said ā€œkeep up sunshineā€ to Jay once and no one can convince me that wasnā€™t her pet name for Ava

#

The holy symbol in chips inventory is probably a moon

#

I've thought of him having both ears pierced and the second earring is a small moon earring given to him by Finn when he was a kid

#

Which is what I wear for cosplay

#

I love the fanart that give chip even more piercings but I personally only have the standard ones

torpid gull
#

the moon haunts you

weary shard
#

alternatively, could be a cross for the one true god. i like yours better though

fathom bramble
#

The moon also works for one true god if it's ā˜Ŗļø lol

#

with this headcanon

#

though chip does drink alcohol so

weary shard
#

itā€™s been 2 years now and i still canā€™t get over Eurydi saying ā€œthe one true godā€

fathom bramble
#

oh myg od i totally forgot that

#

I need to go back to the episode

#

I can imagine gillion being offended and going "there are TWO gods and they're both my MOMS"

weary shard
#

ā€œAre you a child of god?ā€ ā€œWhich god are we talking about here?ā€ ā€œThe one TRUE God.ā€ have that shit MEMORIZED

#

Gillion is so fish jesus he even has holes through his hand(s?) from when he was strung up on the hook in the black sea navy fortress

weary shard
#

Jesus definitely had holes through his forearms, Gillion low diffs him

#

Sorry what were we talking about?

fathom bramble

#

speaking of holy symbols it was stated that gillion's paladin spells are cast through the holy symbol on his shield

#

It's not explicitly stated but I assume it was a moon

weary shard
#

Does he still have his clam shell shield? It almost never comes up

fathom bramble
#

It basically never comes up, not even in artwork

#

Even though he rolls one handed attack damage for the sword

weary shard
#

hahaha he does? is 2-handed higher?

fathom bramble
#

Yeah, Chip used two handed when he had destiny's blade for a bit

#

Bizly had to ask charlie how to roll damage for longswords which was when they brought up the one/two handed thing

weary shard
#

That reminded me of the bit where Destinyā€™s blade was ā€œcheatingā€ on Gillion

#

Like Iā€™m imagining D-blade complaining that Chip did more damage

fathom bramble
#

A big part of gillion's damage comes from divine smite tbf

#

I wonder if paladins require their holy symbol for smite or if it's just for casting paladin spells

#

No wait

#

Holy symbol is only for spells that would otherwise require cheap material components

#

So smite can be without the shield

#

I guess gillion's remaining sorcerer spells don't require a spellcasting focus/material components

#

I've played a sorcerer that exclusively used materials and no spellcasting focus because I thought it was funnier

weary shard
#

Still donā€™t fully know the difference between paladin and cleric. Wish I had more chances to play D&D

fathom bramble
#

My group with my cousins has three paladins for some reason sobboy

#

Two of them are new to the game so I had to teach them how paladins work

#

One of them wanted to get their shield upgraded so I told him that he wouldn't have a spellcasting focus until he got his shield back from the smith

weary shard
#

OH btw I have a headcanon that magic use is contagious for lack of better phrasing. Like proximity to magic users or I guess the ocean would influence being able to use magic. Itā€™d explain Chipā€™s random fire magic powers, and Gillion and Jayā€™s magic constantly changing.

fathom bramble
#

Ooh

#

Jay has been leaning more artificer than ranger lately so that type of magic would mostly manifest as her building gadgets that perform the function of a given spell

#

I really love how Runt's spells were flavored in Wonderlust

#

It's so much fun looking at the artificer spell list and thinking of what device would correspond with them

#

Like purify food and drink -> blender that magically eliminates toxins from whatever you put in it

#

Your food is pure as long as you're okay with it being liquid sobboy

fathom bramble
#

Oh my fucking god what if they told gillion that the short and stupid juice was holy water and that's why he had to drink it

#

Aurora has one too

#

But I feel like the genasi tails are more for show than use

#

I imagine it like a lion tale, mostly skin colour wiyh a tuft of hair at the end

#

THta would cook so hard

#

Wait how would holy water workā€¦

#

Underwater

opal frost
#

Shhh donā€™t think about it too much

plush niche
#

I have too

fathom bramble
#

I'm still on team "water genasi are more elemental than animal"

plush niche
#

I second this

#

I see them more as Naiads

opal frost
#

Iā€™m in the middle

#

Like I said itā€™s for show not purpose

#

But tritons have beefy tails to aid swimming

fathom bramble
#

Tritons with gills, sea elves who may or may not have gills (maybe they just have weird lungs that can also process water), and water genasi who can breathe water because in a way they just Are water

#

Proposed alternate ship name for aurora and jay Morningstar

#

Lol

#

Or breakingdawn

noble bay
fathom bramble
#

I think they'd have to be careful with the dosage to avoid cooking him entirely

#

Still breaking my own heart with the "they told him it was holy water" headcanon

noble bay
#

I wanna draw bb gillion noe

fathom bramble
#

I love the idea of baby tritons being like tadpoles

#

Growing arms and legs later on and being taught basic motor skills by their parents when they weave fish nets

noble bay
fathom bramble
#

Gillion got taken by the elders as soon as his limbs were grown enough to start combat training šŸ’”

noble bay
#

Stop it thats mean

#

He jsut a little guy

fathom bramble
#

He WAS just a little guy

#

But he felt safe because he knew uncle odelath who would visit his home all the time since he was hatched

noble bay
#

Imagining Gillion mourning the consept of a version of himself that was supposed to be more competent

fathom bramble
#

Augh

#

I'm also a big fan of 5 ft being average height for tritons and gillion being nerfed to regular height instead of becoming significantly taller than average

#

My triton OCs are also around 5ft tall

noble bay
#

He's onl 5'1 when you arent directly looking at him

#

Could be interpreted as a projection of his chosen on persona actually

#

One*

#

Maybe some day he will stop becoming 5'9 when you look at him and jsut be a proud short king <3

fathom bramble
#

I don't know if I've mentioned this but one of my favorite funny headcanons is that Aurora thinks being gay is the default and is surprised any time that someone is straight

#

That time in 128 when she thought Jay had two moms and then jay had to correct her and say she has a mom and a dad

rare sinew
#

I mean I imagine the druids kinda lived like the air nomads from avatar,
Who gaf about if your gay, love and free peace and knowledge type shit

fathom bramble
#

I usually go with Aurora calling her parents Mommy and Mama

rare sinew
#

Grfgdgd stop donā€™t make me sad

fathom bramble
#

Imagine if aurora thought Chip and Gillion were boyfriends and gets completely thrown off by any mention that Chip had a wife

plush niche
#

Sheā€™s like talking to Jay about how she dealt with being the third wheel and Jay looks at her confused

fathom bramble
#

Gillion believes in UFOs

#

(unidentified floating objects)

#

It's kind of funny because to people in the undersea, anyone from the surface is basically from outer space

weary shard
#

i was talking with someone on tumblr about how potentially there are people in rural parts of the undersea that don't believe in the sun or moon. not like as deities, but like, straight up not thinking they're real

#

also caspian canonically has not been to bubbletrench. soooo he could've been a moon denier

fathom bramble
#

That's so funny

#

Iirc Gillion's immediate family isn't religious which is funny considering that Finn is a cleric

#

And whatever it was that Gillion's dad had going on with Pelagus

#

Actually I think it's easy to deny the existence of the sun and moon if you've never gone close to the surface

#

My headcanon is that undersea society uses a lunar calendar and needs to send someone up to the surface regularly to check on the night sky and maintain the calendar
