and so the absence of something is also its presence and so taako goes through life believing he is incurably alone and so he believes no one could ever love him for who he is and so centuries with his sister are lost but he still knows how to scrap for food. he's still hustling people at bars. hes still holding his umbrella. the love is still there

thinking about how tres horny boys, at the beginning of the crystal kingdom when asked to pick colors for their null suits, all picked shades of red. burgundy, burnt umber, cinnamon
merle (well, clint) asked for burnt umber to be funny without even realizing what color it was
it's hardly a joke, it's hardly touched on, though i'm sure it's more obvious in the graphic novel. but to me it was more shocking than their jokes about living for hundreds of years, of always having their memories, of never forgetting barry bluejeans
they were red because they were always going to be red. because they were red for a hundred years.

“Magnus, do you even know the definition of a puppy?!”
Uh, obviously? These are all puppies, Taako...”
What do you mean these aren’t puppies? I wanted to add more animals but I couldn't fit them in without making this drawing a confusing jumbled mess

I FUCKIN FIGURED IT OUT! Y'ALL ARE IN FOR IT NOW
I have the fucking RADDEST AU idea but I cannot think of who the antagonist will be??? The antagonist role in the original just doesn't fit any of the Balance antags HHUHGHHDHDD
Like, do I make up a character instead? Do I bend the original story even further to fit in a canon character? I'm stressed

I love lup so much i wrote a song about her beat THAT barry bluejeans
[audio description: a song on guitar and vocals about Lup Taaco from The Adventure Zone. The lyrics to the song are lower down on the post. The cover art is a drawing of Lup from the waist to the neck. She is surrounded by smoke and burning embers, and she is holding the Phoenix Fire Gauntlet to her heart. It’s glowing brightly.]
Lyrics:
Lived on the run and on the open road
But I knew that I was never alone
Spent so much time with my other half
But no one’s here for my now inside this fucking staff
6 friends, 9 lives, a hundred ways to die
Flying away from shadows in the sky
Come undone, put us back where we came from
No one said dying made all the pain numb
Who are we now?
Who were we then?
We die, come back, and try again
A glow like fire comes from a light
Break off a piece, hide it out of sight
Burning away my skin
I fear I’m wearing thin
A fire burns,
Consuming all,
Who could resist its thrall
The walls are bleak and covered in ash
Curtains all burnt into a looming black
One light, one hope, one voice
Your life, your hand, your choice
A metal glove,
Brings smoke above
Born from my ire, a phoenix fire
