This is our TAZ sideblog. Our favorite arcs are Suffering Game and Crystal Kingdom. Check out our About Us. Follows from @spookyhetero and @clarkentismyalterego. “Taako, you are my heart.”
Relistening to taz balance and realizing that taako stops looking like lup during wonderland when he loses some of his beauty but with lups new body being grown from taakos after story and song, they would be identical again!!!!! thinking about taako being insecure about his face but eventually letting go of the glamor bc he gets to look like his twin!
i'm sure this post has been made before but the "the list of people i trust and things i believe is down to no one and nothing" to "i trust angus mcdonald entirely" journey that taako takes in the span of roughly one in-fiction hour during lunar interlude reunion tour is so important to me. adventuring partners and friends who have saved his bacon more times than he can count? nah fuck em. organization that has protected him and given him a purpose and fresh start? new stone of farspeech who dis. this nerdy ass boy detective? "angus i trust you implicitly and here's the 100% exact truth as we understand it"
you know, not everything has to be a joke. sometimes you can just be honest about your feelings and that's how I see myself, yknow? I may not be the most threatening silhouette but I like to think of myself as somebody who can stand up for— you know it doesnt always have to be "goof goof dildo", okay?! you— I'm travellin' around with the boner squad and I never get to just say what I'm feeling, I have emotions! (cast calm emotion, quick!) It's not just abra-ca-fuck-you and what have you! I HAVE A BEATING HEART! I'M MULTIDIMENSIONAL! I'M A FULLY REALIZED CREATION!
Griffin has not once described Montrose with a cowboy hat nor have I seen any art with him in a cowboy hat yet as i listen to steeplechase i know in my heart and in my head every time i imagine any scene he’s in, Montrose Pretty wears a cowboy hat.
Imagine being a guy with a silly name like Barry Bluejeans, and needing to impart a dire and ominous warning to your friends who don't remember you, so for a variety of reasons, you conceal your identity as Barry Bluejeans and don the appearance of an absolutely terrifying hooded figure. And yet, your friends are still incapable of taking your cryptic monologues seriously without making a dick joke or something, every goddamn time. How would you even manage to stay in character.
In like... episode 3 of balance, during here they be gerblins, Klarg apologizes for not having scones, and Merle goes, "nah i can't anyway, I'm diabetic," and I think he does a nod to blood sugar later in the season.
And yet... where are the diabetic Merle headcanons...? Please if I have missed them send me their way. Because I really like this idea that he's diabetic. (I think probably type 2 diabetic makes most sense because that one is like less ever-present in the way you have to monitor it as compared to type 1.)
When the earth beneath Refuge buckles, scorching heat racing up from the depths, time slows to a crawl between the moment Magnus accepts he will die, and the moment it that happens.
What is it again that you’re supposed to tell people when you’re dying? Oh, geez, there’s just so many options. And he only gets this one shot.
How about “Rosebud”? Or something equally cryptic? No, that would be wasted — no one else will be left standing to appreciate the mystery. And dang, Magnus thinks he could come up with a good one if he just had more time, too —
Maybe “We’ll get ‘em next time”? No. Not that either. He has no idea where that came from. Maybe his brain’s last attempt at a morbid joke.
“You were there for me when I needed a family. Thank you.” Oh, boy. Now, that’s one he can trace the logic behind, due to it being true — and, sappy or not, it’s the last thing his dying words ever really could be. No time left to be embarrassed by it, after all.
Unfortunately, by this point, he has no time left to say it, either.
The ground shatters and erupts around him, flinging him into the air just in time for a huge slab of rubble to slam into him from behind, crushing his chest. The force is so concussive he can’t tell if he’s still falling or already back on the ground when the fire surrounds him, incinerating everything —
But then, he’s back in that white space, for just a single moment outside of the confines of time. And then, he’s lying on his back outside of Refuge again. Alive.
Ah. Time loop. For the time relic, it’s kinda obvious in hindsight.
Good thing Magnus didn’t have time to say what he meant to, then. For him to get all sincere in his dying moments, in everyone’s dying moments, only for him and Merle and Taako to all get up and walk away like nothing happened? That would just be awkward.
