#and darius's Vibes are a fusion of taako and kravitz

[yardsards]

a canonically queer (with a musically-inclined love interest) pointy-eared magic user who has trust issues (influenced partially by their sister (whose name begins with L) who was their best and only friend as a young child) but acts aloof and cocky to hide it, begins begrudgingly giving magic lessons to a heavily neurodivergent-coded human child (who has a special interest in a certain book series and models their life goals around the protagonist of said series) and accidentally grows attached to and trusts that human child wholeheartedly

#eliot posts #toh #the owl house #taz #the adventure zone #taz balance #eda clawthorne #luz noceda #taako taaco #angus mcdonald #as the series went on eda and luz became what the fandom WANTED taako and angus to become #tho eda's vibes are kinda actually closer to lup than taako tbh #darius and hunter ALSO mirror taako and angus #and darius's Vibes are a fusion of taako and kravitz #(and of course plenty of ppl have compared lup and taako to em and ed bc mischievous twins trope) #also i say kravitz is musically inclined bc he wanted to be a conductor but there IS a nonzero chance he meant train conductor #which is infinitely funny to me #anyway if you're a taz fan who hasn't watched toh and got attached to the taako and angus dynamic: #go watch the owl house bc that relationship dynamic is basically the heart/backbone/whatever of the show #and it's just a good show overall with great characters and cool worldbuilding and just so much heart behind its writing #it's a fantasy/comedy/horror cartoon about a young girl who finds a portal to a magic realm and gets taken in by an outlaw witch #and it deconstructs fantasy/YA/isekai tropes but in a loving way rather than a dismissive mocking way #i also recommend the adventure zone: balance to any owl house fan looking for something to get into over the hiatus #i can't point out any specific element that i can say 'if you liked x try y' about. it's just an overall great series #it's a standard 'some comedians recorded themselves playing dungeons and dragons' podcast #(half of it has also been adapted into graphic novels if podcasts aren't your thing and they're in the process of releasing the rest) #about 3 adventurers tasked with tracking down dangerous ancient relics #and it starts off just a bunch of silly jokes but it gets more and more serious as it goes on #and ends up being one of the most touching stories i have ever heard by the end. w themes of love and hope and the power of stories
