JRWI tings :P

//Riptide Campaign :')

Uhhhh,, poly pirates and Gillion has a little moment where he remembers polyamory is looked down upon, yk? idk i need a better reason for them to be all cute and shit rather than just saying i am sad give me fluff-

ANYWAY. 

I've had this idea for a while? I'd like to think that with Gillion learning more about the overseas, he's learning things that in the Undersea may seem more extreme to his overseas friends,, so to be safe, when saying endearments, he says them in his home tongue (I used Aquan since it was considered a dialect of Primordial, which is what Gillion is described to speak..!!), so he says super sweet shit in Aquan and just leaves whoever he said it to be all super confused-

Idk I think it's cute.  (I'll add the translations at the end of the fic..! So enjoy being confused for the time being along with Chip and Jay >:) )

I did a stupid amount of research before I found a genuine translator so. That was upsetting but also v interesting ;') Idek if its a good one, it just mixes up the alphabet that we know but honestly idk what I was expecting so we're just going with it! :'D

I know absolutely nothing about b o a t s or ships. At all. I'm just using how the JRWI crew describe The Albatross and where the crew go for different things (in episode 15 Chip went to the lower deck from the main deck to his hammock - so their sleeping arrangements to me are on the second deck. yk?) Anyways what I'm trying to say is I apologise in advance for not knowing fancy names for things. 

Also,, n o this hasn't been in my drafts for a week because I'm not happy with it, shut up. :') I fear the ending is kinda rushed, but at the same time I wanted to finish this and just publish it so I can stop staring at it ^^;; 

TW// absolutely none. Cry from fluff with me. Just happy idiots. That's it that's the fic. Yes, this is poly pirates because I just want them to be soft and happy and they love each other in this essay I will-

Gillion's time overseas had been... insightful. That was definitely a way to describe it. He had learned during his few months around Chip, Jay and others they'd come across, that his traditions and anything related to his home or people seemed 'extreme' to those who were not from his home. So... everyone. But as of late, the triton had learned of a way around that! Usually, if it wasn't about traditions or ceremonies of his people, the way he spoke seemed strange to his friends. So he supposed if he had wanted to say something to them and was unsure if it was more intense than he understood, then he'd say it in his native language. 

When he had first thought of this idea, Gillion worried if it was considered deceptive, though through much consideration, and consulting in Pretzel's insight, it was more to save him and whoever he conversed with any discomfort with how Gillion said things. So he'd like to think it was more thoughtful than deceptive. Besides, if anyone asked what he had said or why he had switched to Primordial, then he'd happily explain. This way, Gillion finally felt he'd be able to express his affections towards Chip and Jay more freely.

Gillion had come up with that plan a week or so ago. And he hadn't had to really implement the plan into his daily life as much as he had thought. The three had become so busy with having found Drey in The Block along with Marshall John. Everything was so hectic, especially with Jay and Chip having found a relative and a dear friend after so many years of not knowing of his state... Though this morning seemed to be different. 

Jay had always seemed to have nightmares (or he supposed they were more night terrors, as Jay had called them) ever since Gillion had known her. Many times he'd have woken up in the middle of the night to the sound of the hatch closing behind the redhead as she left to go to the top deck, or even just waking up to Chip comforting her. Gillion had always left Chip to comfort Jay. He seemed much more familiar with it, and Gillion feared he'd worsen her condition if he suddenly burst out of his barrel to comfort her. But there was something he could always help Jay with...
