The Last Chapter | Just Roll With It  

I will accept the break, but ONLY if the first episode back starts with Chip and Gillion says “man, that sure was one long hallway, it feels like we were walking down it for months.”

best part of the episode was when chip went "This really was our riptide! I feel a song coming on, hit it gill!" and they all got sturdy with it

I mean they GOTTA plug Alphonze into the artificial leviathan..

I like to imagine that Gillion represents the Moon and the Sea, Jay represents the Sun and the Sky, and Chip represents the Earth and the Land

I came here going “uh oh angst” AND GILLION WAS READING DARK PUCKERED HOLE INSTEAD

Holiday Break and Hiatus Info Summary: The JRWI crew will be going on a break for the holidays. This will be so they can spend time with their families and friends without having to worry about spoon feeding us content. They will be back on the 13th of January. Riptide will be going on a hiatus for no more than 6 months. This is so Grizzly can flesh out the story and plan an ending for Riptide that is satisfactory. No other campaign will be affected by this hiatus. Your defenders will still be primed, your vampires will still be sucking. NO, Riptide is NOT ending any time soon. Based on what Grizzly said in the interview in the 5 years of JRWI video (recommend watching btw), we still have roughly another year (maybe more maybe less idk). Yes, we will be getting a campaign to fill the dark puckered hole that Riptide will leave. Bizly said something about a campaign that he will be running that is steampunk themed with an underground city and shit. If you want more info, go to the end of the video after the patreon shoutouts. I am so excited for this campaign, I’m actually shitting myself. Anyways, that’s all on that. Happy holidays, my fellow JRWI enjoyers. ❤️

Charlie reading gay pirate smut is something I DID NOT NEED

You know it’s a Riptide episode when we are met with the most crushing gut-wrenching realization and our captains have the most heartfelt moment that definitely didn’t make me cry and then immediately afterwards are met with the most violent reading of old man yaoi smut ever known to man The best Christmas gift of an episode I could ever ask for

If my heart was a Dark Puckered Hole, then this episode filled it.

i like that gillion now reads with confidence, gained over reading 69 chapters of graphic, unholy chapters

Chip screaming in anguish over the last chapter of Dark Puckered Hole, but then being really invested in what happens to the characters is the funniest shit ever. Way to go Grizzly, give this man a Pulizer

Nothing will ever top the pain I felt while gillion was reading through dark puckered hole chapter 69

At first I was so worried about the title and thumbnail but turns out I should be more afraid of the dark puckered hole. 😔

time update! as of #115, Riptide (including the rolled's) is at an astonishing 250 hours and 16 minutes!

As a patreon viewer this episode is so hard that I feel like I dont need another episode for 6 months

While I am sad that we aren’t gonna have jrwi for a while, I’m very happy that the boys and Grizzly are going on a break. You all deserve it, and we as fans will be patiently waiting for whenever you come back

The last chapter of Dark Puckered Hole starts at 1:07:24 and ends at 1:17:00 for anyone who cares

Crying, pissing, transitioning, vomiting, screaming, screeching, all at the same time. 10/10, amazing would lose my voice to again.

I'm terrified to know what finn would do if he found the elusive crawfish

ok, so i just realized, if they find Philipe, and let him kill DoppelGilly, would he be chill...?

First riptide episode to actually make me tear up. Good luck non patrons lmao this episode is a trip

Last episode before the hiatus and I've heard the warnings I am so terrified

JAYS GOLDEN EYE FINALLY MADE IT INTO THE THUMBNAIL LFG

15:12 so this is totally a hollow knight reference, right? “Higher beings, these words are for you alone”

I don’t believe the 6 month wait is for grizz to write riptide. It’s to finish 50 shades of Fins his new gay erotica novel.

Possibly one of my fav riptide episodes yet and also cried a lot Also they're so sick for this thumbnail

***(kind minor) Spoiler for Apotheosis*** I remember when in Apotheosis, when Peter and Rumi hooked up, they were awkward and didn't really get into detail about what happened... I miss that.

The excerpt really checked off all the worst diction. orbs, swimming in eyes, tongues fought/battle for dominance, growl, arched his back

Cant believe Jay is the ultimate lost hybrid princess!!!!

As a patreon viewer good luck guys 😭😭😭

I thought "The Last Chapter" was reffering to the team splitting up..... AND NOT OLD MAN YAOI

I look forward to watch "All is Ferin Love and War" in 6 months

49:30 “despite everything, it’s still you.” Moment

I started watching this after all of the videos had already been out for a couple months, and I didn’t see any recent Riptide uploads, so I assumed the campaign was over, and I kept getting closer and closer to this episode, thinking it the last, like “this can’t be the end, they still have so much more they still need to do to fulfill the story!” and I can officially say I am SO glad that I ABSOLUTELY misinterpreted the title and place in the playlist

alphonze soul chip + doppel gillion husk = aplhonze problem solved

This was the scariest notification. I was genuinely readying myself for grizzly to say “and that's where our story ends. That's where we’ll end the campaign.” My relief--

The plant is Caspian because it has to be. - The most notable crewmates are Lizzie, Marshall John, Caspian. If it's not any of these three, the betrayal won't hurt as much because the story did not develop other crewmates for viewers to be emotionally invested. - It's Lizzie's crew, it's not gonna be herself. - It's not Marshall John because that is Grizzly's first self insert. also, it mimics Jay's story too much. - Caspian joined after a someone in Lizzie's crew died. - his background is a mystery, besides being part of a tribe in the outskirts, "born and lived by the tides as they carry us where it goes". - Caspian's mother died, sister left, father fell into depression. Caspian left. Family was also impoverished. With the lack of family and financial stability, Caspian likely sought to find purpose or work and seize opportunities. like being a spy. - he left 10-15 years ago at the age of 16-18, plenty of time to be trained. - Caspian does not dream of returning home at all, unlike Gillion (initially). - Caspian seems to have bonded quickly with Lizzie, despite being a newer member of the crew - Caspian fulfilled a ridiculous request, again demonstrating extreme dedication to Lizzie ("you know for that woman I'd floated for four more and then after that I think I would I would rather die") - "we have to unite against the Navy" unity, you say? - Caspian was suddenly fully attentive at the name Finn Tidestrider. Unless Lizzie and Finn were really close, this raises suspicion, considering how Jay and Gillion didn't react like that for other former Black Rose pirates, like Rufus. If it was Lizzie hearing that name, it'd make more sense. - I was suspicious of Caspian lending his sword to Gillion when I watched the ep on July 18, 2023, I will remember this

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR "WELCOME HOME" THE FIRST FEW TIMES I LISTENED TO THAT PART, THAT IS CRAZY

This episode was a HOLE lotta fun

Dude.. at 1:48:28 when Bizly said, "pull it out," (referring to the compass) everyone in chat just started talking about Chip "pulling it out" and "whipping it out." NOW.. I'd like to remind everyone this wasn't the only moment where Bizly/Chip is "whipping it out." At the end of 100th episode, there was a bit (starting at 3:27:38) which Bizly was aiming for Kira to get Gryffon and at one point he said (at 3:28:02): "It's the beginning of summer. It's the beginning of whirlwind of whoop ass on Kira. I'm telling you now, I'm going to whip it out. Ima-" I will NEVER let go of Bizly saying that, because Chip "whipping it out" on Kira has to be the most vile and hilarious shit I've ever heard.

1:29:44 hearing goobleck was something else made me chuckle

I can’t wait for the possible bebo campaign Also Grizzly can take as much time as he needs as long as we have fan art we will be okay!

For about 3 months before this episode came out I wasn't keeping up with the new videos. When I noticed that no more episodes were coming out for a while I assumed that this was the final episode of riptide given the episode was called the final chapter. I put off catching up with the series because of the fear that it was over. Then recently I had a dream remembering all of the great events in the campaign which invigorated me to finish the series. Only to watch this episode and realise that the title was refereing to the final chapter of The Dark Puckered Hole

This episode is so fucking good there are so many good character moments and most importantly DARK PUCKERED HOLE RETURNS!

Crying in the club rn Hey Grizz what the fuck do you mean “Welcome home”???? HEY GRIZZ-

This show hurts me ALSO I HAVE A GOOD TIME DURING HIATUS!! SPOLIERS!! Jay and chips relationship has felt like it’s changed so much during the series, and this being basically the first time they split up destroyed me mentally/pos

Back here again. It’s just now occurring to me that we’re probably approaching the finale.

6 months on this cliffhanger???? AGHHHH Take a well deserved break guys, we love the content and we love Riptide 🥳

This went from such an upsetting episode like actually gutting, to the most funny, like shaking kind of laughing funny

GUYS IM SCARED WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOOD LUCK??? Literally petrified of what’s about to happen..

In case you forgot that this was a comedy podcast, enjoy the absolute LUNACY of this episode.

After nearly a year and a half starting from episode one, I finally made it.. I’m sad to see it’s on hiatus. I can’t wait for it to come back.

wdym the last chapter..// I’ve heard the warnings I’m so worried I’m devastated, can’t believe riptides ending in like 1 or 2 years. Been here since the first campaign, but I started really watching around ep 10-12 of riptide. Changed my life genuinely, thank you everyone.

Yea I sobbed HARDDDDD These silly pirates mean the world to me. Though I’m sad we won’t see em for a while, I think this is a beautiful note to “end” on. I hope everyone on the JRWI team enjoys their break! Take all the kind rest you need, and prioritize yourself. Happy Holidays, all!

6 MONTHS WITHOUT MY PIRATES, OH GOD

I've spent the last year and a half getting caught up on the show, and at last, here I am.

The way I cried tears of joy when the Cumagoon had the come again pun oh my GOD my year is made

gee, i hope nothing happens this episode that would cause a divide 😁

Okay but, hear me out, what if Jay somehow encounters Filipe?

Cool, now I weep for two seperate reasons.

I dont know why but somehow this episode feels so perfect It has all the character development and even feels nostalgic We have the funsies and the sadness The dread and excitement And it slowly starts feeling like we're approaching the end of an arc, of an era Which is sad but very nice And i cannot believe this is where we're left off for around 6 months But i fully understand and support a creative writing break to really give this project what it deserves. I will wait to the ends of the earth for riptide. Forever. And always. Ps: Never leave Gillion and Chip alone /hj

personal theory of mine that the military is raising child soldiers that are from the undersea. The only undersea characters that are above sea and are of high importance that we can trust are gillion(banished by undersea) and peepaw(one of the undersea's greatest schollars). We know of gillion's sister who was talking to Grandma ferin and Caspeian who was originally part of black beards crew (we dont know his full backstory as to why he is there, we only know he is from a small unknown part of the under sea.) We also know the undersea were having conversations with the military. Pepaw and gillion have good reason to be out of the undersea, but we have no clue how Caspeian and gillion's sister left(we know undersea people dont leave because of how people reacted to seeing gillion in allport). Caspeian could also have been the reason the navy managed to find black beard and kill him. This also means lizzy has been blaming herself for nothing and that the true person to blame was the person who was next to her(also, caspeian is way too good at magic and fighting when compared to gillion who trained from birth in the undersea so he could be millitary trained.)this also gives lizzy's backstory and her bad relationship with Jay to be fixed even a little bit more We could also argue that gillion's sister may be a tool used by the military to control gillion who is the apparent chosen hero of the world. We could also say they are clones using the technology from the old navy base Or mind control because grizzly briefly mentioned a machine that made gillion feel like he wanted use any frustration he had to swear loyalty with the military(which might mean gillion could also betray chip and Jay like some kind of sleeper agent.) Also it doesn't make much sense how caspeian knew about edyn and introduced her almost out of nowhere. *Sorry for any Grammer and spelling mistake I don't speak English fluently and auto correct will kill me*

A LOT of people on Patreon and of course, Chip and Jay think that the perpetrator is Caspian, did we forget that Rudith is also on their ship? We don't know much about him and haven't learned much since La Alma!

Dark Puckered Hole is simultaneously the best and worst written thing I’ve ever had the displeasure of listening to, beautiful.

Sobbing at the little "i love you"s

Since Gill lost his skin, but then he healed it. Does that mean he's all scabs now?

Bro this episode made me cry have fun non-patreon viewers

After the first one, I actually skipped and saved myself from the evil, hellish words of the Dark Puckered Hole book

i'm not even caught up (only on ep40) but this is terrifying GODO LUCK

So nice of Charlie to join us from the void today

I am usually a podcast listener. I had to come to the video version to see live dark puckered hole reactions

Bro there are so many plot twist and so much whiplash in this ep i might as well be doing pirouettes!

This Found-Family trope got me crying.... Again ... *Edit* made it to the end of the video and I got 2 things: 1) God bless the bois, may they take these next months to relax and have fun. Keep them safe, happy, healthy, and find peace and joy in the fantastic work they do. AMEN! 2) GET YOURSELF A FRIEND LIKE BIZLY!

This episode was so silly!!!1!!1!1!!!! Nothing sad Definitely:333

Cried for this one guys…good luck… see yall when the hiatus is done ❤❤

15:11 Higher beings, these words are for you.

Hey Jrwi gang, im just writing to wish yall a good break! Gods know you all have earned it. You all work super hard to give us all our blurbos and i thank you from the bottom of my heart. This podcast has made me laugh, cry, and yell so many times i have lost count. My only problem with it is that i didnt check it out sooner. So again please take it easy and enjoy your break!

spolier yeah you heard that right, the name was just dark puckered hole reference. its not the last episode, you have been fucking played.

Oh boy I can't wait to watch this totally wholesom episode of Riptide! Nothing will cause anything bad to happen!

I literally will be listening to the last minute of this every week 😭😭😭😭

Bro, when it said the last chapter, I got so scared, but I’m glad it didn’t mean what I thought, cause that chapter of DPH was so GOOD!!

Grizzly, bruh! I do not believe for a second that this is your first time doing erotic literature! If you wrote that chapter in about 40 minutes then you have some form of prior experience! This episode was absolutely fire, love the way that the story has been playing out and it's so interesting to see how things will go with the crew split up to accomplish two different time sensitive goals. High Roller and damn proud of it! Looking forward to the return from hiatus!

“We are the light” “We are the flame” **darkest dungeon battle music plays in the background** Hmmmmmmmmmm🤔🤔🤔

They should find a way to put Finn's Soul into the Doppel Gillion husk.

fellow asexuals how we feeling about chapter 69 of the dreaded Dark Puckered Hole

I love this but I swear if I find out that gillian needed 1 extra point to turn John and we were wrong the whole time

man i haven’t been this scared to watch a riptide vid since 98# all for dark pucker hole T_T thank god that’s over

the 6 month hiatus is going to kill me but i know it will be worth the wait im so excited for the coming episodes

Grizzly is the best dm/writer I have ever witnessed and the dark puckered hole is that reason

1:05:15 the way i memorized this entire bit word for word is actually insane

hey what do you mean the last chapter *_hey what do you mean the last chapter_* I swear that better be reffering to dark puckered hole but im scared of what the patron viewers are saying

Im gonna be listening to this one so many times over the break. Yall deserve as much time as you need to make this into a story you are proud to tell. I know its gonna be worth it.

Just finished this episode yesterday, FUCK what a ride! Might be one of my favourites in a bit

Merry Christmas everyone!! :D i hope everyone enjoys this lovely fluffy silly episode where nothing bad happens. And i hope the council enjoys their 2 week adieu!

i am all caught up now. took me like 2 months ish maybe a bit more of just binging between lectures. and this has been a rollercoaster of just awesomeness I can't wait for another 1 - 2 years of this story, its got me hooked man.

I’ve waited to watch this till Christmas, i sure hope it doesn’t destroy me emotionally :D

i regret listening to this episode in math class. somehow... every time gill reads the damn book im in math class

I salute you going into this one non patreon viewers

SPOILERS IF YET TO WATCH)) Am I the only one who thinks the traitor is marchel john, like it'd be devastating yes, but caspian has been with lizzie since black beard I think and rudith has lived on an island that doesn't favor navy then on a ship that doesn't favor navy, and eydn.. well I don't think edyn is even on lizzie's ship or crew, just an ally. So dispite everything, in my head, this only leaves john. I mean yeah sure he got imprisoned and attacked a navy an admiral but like, weren't people undercover so hidden that not even other people undercover knew. And didn't he say he already got the idea of becoming a pirate from lizzie before gillion, and since the head admiral apparently could "pay a visit to jay if she wanted", so they were watched, that could have easly been cause Caspian's calls could be easly communicated to john, or maybe something else idk, I'm just rambling, but that's my theory and we have a few months to debate.

Idea: get chip to be duplicated on that "deserted'' navy base (probably duplicated with a bone or something) boom new chip body, persuade him to draw from the deck until he gets that card that made the clone Gillian soulless (if the body gets damaged or something keep getting duplicates), boom uninhabited Chip body, give the duplicated chip the mind reading band and give Chip the other one, get dupli-chip to follow chips commands somehow, pilot the dupli-chip until they can put chip's actual consciousness into it, boom chips normal again.
