Re-listened to TAZ Balance recently and I’m still in awe that Griffin McElroy somehow managed to introduce a “long-lost twin of protagonist who had selective amnesia about them” character so late in the story, so successfully that she not only featured in some of the most thrilling and emotional moments of the series, but immediately became wildly popular and caused most of the fanbase to spontaneously develop crushes on her

one of my (many) favorite things about Barry being a dick when he’s first introduced is that like. He is totally a fridged wife guy. He’s a fighter and a bodyguard for hire. He’s brooding and shitty and traumatized and ~too damaged to make friends~ (and then dies horribly oops). HIS WIFE IS LITERALLY DEAD. but like he also. Isn’t that. He’s literally called The Lover. He blushes when he drops his glasses and the woman he likes gives them back to him. He’s lactose intolerant. He doesn’t know how to swim until Taako teaches him. He makes hot chocolate for Lup while she schemes. His wife is also not dead !!!! (I mean, she is but how much does death rly mean in taz? plus they’re not even technically married but how much does marriage rly mean in taz?) He’s basically that one post about an angsty dude and everybody assumes his wife died tragically but then u find out she’s actually fine and he just rly missed her and is actually pretty normal when she’s around. I know I’m not saying anything about him that has not been said before but sometimes I just. I’m struck by him

I am kinda obsessed with the specific kinds of angst that can be generated from stolen century death
Lup opening her eyes at the start of a new cycle to find Taako by her side blinking in confusion because he didnt even hear the power word kill coming a week into the last cycle. Taako who didnt even realize he was gone until he was back but Lup is looking at him like hes a ghost
Magnus taking a bite from a monster throwing himself in the way of Taako and managing to kill it before he collapsed and bled out in Taako's arms
Years of narrow escape where it's just merle and one person he managed to heal in time holed up in the ship because it's not safe out at night and the days here are terribly short, the way he and Lucretia would leave the other's spots at the table untouched until they were back
Davenport who is responsible for all of them and most of them are So Young and hes so tired of burying them
Idk man it's just a really facinating type of grief

there's gotta be cycles where their robes get destroyed and they had to make use of the scraps right

I feel like the Taaco twins' senses of personal style developed because every time Lup wanted to jump into the middle of some stupid shit, she'd hand Taako all of her accessories for safekeeping and he'd just... Put them on.
They wear matching outfits not to be some kind of weird twin stereotype but because Taako needs to be prepared to wear anything Lup has on at a moment's notice.
Pretty soon they'd have arguments about who owns any single piece of jewelry because Lup swears she bought it for herself but it's been an essential part of Taako's wardrobe for 50 years.
So by the time they get to Faerun at the end of the Stolen Century, Lup looks like she walked out of a streetwear fashion magazine except that her only accessories are a jacket and MAYBE a pair of sunglasses, and Taako jangles when he walks under the weight of all his jewelry.

All I'm saying is that if I was a powerful wizard, I would make dresses enchanted to change with the color of the sky
