this is all i could think when they said his name
something something chip knows celestial and is undead. something something fallen angel boy
FALLEN ANGEL BOY IM FUCKING WEEPING
Thinking about everything settling for a minute and Gillion looks at Chip and something flashes in his eyes, something that Chip can’t name. It’s like grief, but it’s also something that Chip is afraid of. He remembers suddenly that Gillion is trained to kill Undead.
Gillion takes a stumbling step forward towards Chip and instead of doing something logical, like backing away because he understands that Gillion might try to kill him, he meets Gillion in the middle. And Gillion collapses into him. And Gillion is crying. Because his best friend is now one of the things he was trained to kill on sight.
And Chip reaches for something in the back of his mind, something to calm Gillion. He starts to sing. He sings a lullaby in Celestial and Gillion is shuddering with how hard he’s crying.
The voice of an angel, an angels song, yet coming from a now unholy throat.
There's an interesting metaphor in Troy being portrayed as both an awful, irritating guy (accusing people of cheating because they beat him, trying to start rumours about people with "jax shit my pants", treats his only friend like his personal clown) and also excluded by airheart (not allowed in the winner's lounge, bad relationship with his father, etc). He's human trash, both because he fucking sucks, and because he's been discarded.
And then he falls down the literal trash hole, into a world where all trash is valued and important, where it's all sorted and put to use wherever it's strengths are needed. Nothing goes to waste. And presumably here, Troy will find a little group of friends, real friends, who will value him without letting him walk all over them.
One man's trash is another man's treasure
Charlie replied to Crumb on twitter!

A cropped screenshot of a tweet by crumb @/cuptoast with a reply by Slimecicle @/Slimecicle.
Crumb’s tweet reads “i drew pony sonas for me and my friends!” Attached is a drawing of Crumb, Charlie, Snifferish, Poodwattle and Sneegsnag as ponies from My Little Pony.
Crumb is an Earth Pony with a yellow coat and a Cutie mark of Crumb’s little cat sona. Its Head and tail are covered in shadow.
Charlie is a cream coloured Earth Pony with a short curly brown mane. He’s wearing glasses and has a cutie mark of his Slimecicle logo. Additionally, he’s wearing cardboard wings and a horn to give the impression of being an Alicorn. He’s blowing an angry raspberry at Crumb.
Sniff is a very fluffy more orange cream coloured Earth Pony. Their ears end in heart shaped tufts and they have a mushroom Cutie Mark. Poodwattle is a light grey Pegasus with a blond mane pulled up in a sort of half ponytail. Their Cutie Mark is obscured by their wings. Sniff and Pood are looking at each other and have a little heart floating between them.
Sneeg is a white and blue Unicorn with a face shrouded in shadow and a dark blue Ace of Spades Cutie Mark. His magic glow is blue.
Charlie’s reply reads “Please redraw me I am not an earth pony I am not I do not eat mud I do not love rocks where is my MAGIC HORN where are my MAJESTIC WINGS this is fucking bullshit discord I’m howling at the moon I can change you can change me change me make me huge and shoot lasers and have a force field and make my pony stamp Jesus Christ or Autobots or something crumb on man”.

me trying to act like idc about jrwi riptide episode 116 so it comes out faster
about 3 weeks ago i was at riptide ep 55, now i'm at ep 90. where did all the time go?
Are we sure, are we REALLY sure Charlie Slimecicle was not replaced by some evil doppelganger or something because look me in my eyes
Look me in my eyes and tell me this is the same person
A part of me dies every time a piece of media has world building that would cause incredibly complex social issues and would need systematic reform to change the oppression and solve conflict but the author doesn't know how to write complex issues like that so instead they make the protagonist kill the Big Bad Guy who is the root of all evil and suddenly everything is okay even though nothing has changed.
I can’t wait until my sense of taste is back. This cup of tea tastes like hot water. :(
