could not stop imagining this post as magnus n fisher . thats his neurodivergent voidfish

[Image description: uncolored digital art of characters from The Adventure Zone, based off a Reddit thread. Magnus is a broad-shouldered human in an IPRE hoodie, while Davenport is a skinny mustached gnome in a fancy jacket, and Lucretia is a skinny human wearing glasses and a robe.

In the first panel, Magnus holds a baby Fisher up to his cheek, squishing them against his face lovingly. Magnus says: "my pet jellyfish, Mike, who is neurodivergent. he is 1 year old today."

With an incredulous expression, Davenport asks: "Where did you get that?" and Magnus, smiling, replies: "ocean." Lucretia pokes Fisher with a pencil and asks: "I have to ask, out of genuine curiosity, how is it determined that a jellyfish is neurodivergent?" Magnus replies: "I filled out an online quiz using his answers." End description.]

Riña a Puñaladas

[Image ID: a digital painting of Oksana Kodira (possessed by Koda) and Amber Gris in a dark room with bleached coral walls with water up to their knees.

Kodira, to the right, is a slim yet visibly muscular middle-aged woman. She has light brown skin and wavy brown hair with gray streaks tied into a partial bun. She is wearing iron armor and a dark battle skirt with red banners. On her forehead is a large, red eye. Right above it, a lure like that of an anglerfish hangs in front of her face, providing light.

Amber, to the left, is a fat, muscular middle aged woman. She has white skin and multiple scars on her arm: a gash on her shoulder and a shark bite on her upper arm. She has dark gray hair with white streaks tied into a short ponytail, as well as hair on her armpits and forearms. Her eyes are dark with a light iris, like that of a great white shark. She’s wearing a tank top and cargo pants.

The two women are standing as if about to strike each other with their fists. Kodira is braced with both fists at her side, glaring furiously at Amber. The latter is covering her face with one arm while the other is coiled back about to strike. She is staring intently at Kodira, her brows furrowed in focus. End description]

"Man I wish the McElroy's had continued Commitment or Dust, I would've loved listening to those! I would've listened to them over and over again!" << says guy who has only ever done relistens of Balance, never finished Amnesty, and never even started listening any of the other campaigns.

I feel like I always fall into this trap with taz where I underestimate Travis's role playing/character creation skills

Like--and bear with me here--I tend to find his characters a little irritating at first, probably bc he usually plays brash, impulsive characters who charge in or speak their mind without thinking, which I find frustrating when it's so clear the right move is to hang back or be subtle about it

But THEN he has a moment that completely redefines the character for me, where they realize that their actions hurt themselves or others, and it makes you understand why they act the way they do, and then they go in some unexpected direction that shows that they're trying to change and do better and take care of themselves and others!!!

Like Magnus taking rogue lessons bc he realized he was going to get himself killed, and you realize that was kind of what he wanted, but he's learned and changed and found (and rediscovered) people he cares about enough to keep fighting for, and to want to be around for them

Or Aubrey being kind of impulsive, and then she asks Janelle to take her magic away, and you realize that she thinks about things a lot more than you thought, and she's gone through so much loss already, and she's so young and she's trying to help but she's so afraid of hurting her friends, and she learns to have a whole different relationship with magic because of that conversation with Janelle

AND STILL when I started ethersea I thought, well okay, I guess I'm just gonna be a little irritated by Devo bc he can't stop going off on people, but then after the bar fight in the marshlands he realizes that throwing his anger around indiscriminately isn't working, even though it's very clear he has a lot to be angry about and he's also just really young and still trying to figure out how to live in a world outside the church. and I just got to the end of The Menagerie arc and his speech to the auctioneer feels like he's learning to channel his anger towards something, into speaking up for himself and other people who get hurt when those in power are so sure they know what's best, and I'm so excited to see how that plays out over the rest of the season

In conclusion I'm sorry Travis I shouldn't have doubted you, truly out here making some of thee characters of all time

taz ethersea is really just like. hey listen. this story is about grief. it’s about anger. it’s about mourning the things you had to leave, but if you hadn’t left you would not have survived them. it’s about hating where you came from but knowing deep down you can never, will never be from anywhere else. it’s about the need to become better than a past you still wish you could go back to. it’s about “we celebrate the burial of the architects of our unjust world” and “I do not want to be only resentment but when I see your face resentment is all that I am” and “I just wanted you to see it once.” it’s about finding a way to become something new in spite of every weeping ache torn into you by the past. it’s about the stubborn and deliberate persistence of life in the face of a hostile environment. ethersea says this story is about hope. it’s about consequences. it’s about effort. most importantly it’s about how nermal’s pile has a sale going on right now don’t miss out on this week’s deals

#it's also about amber gris' hot butch swag but that's self-evident #I don't even need to point that out #anyway. thinks about destructive environments and how they shape you. #thinks about queer narratives of leaving a place you could never survive and becoming something more but still tied to that first place #thinks about climate change and our imminent literal self-destruction #the adventure zone #taz ethersea #the adventure zone ethersea #zoox anthellae #devo la main #amber gris #taz ethersea spoilers #sorta #etal.txt

First image is of Amber Gris and Oksana Kodeira. They are sitting casually at the shoreline of a sandy beach at sunset. On the left is Amber Gris, a short, stocky einarr woman. She has tan skin and scars on her arms and right side of her face. She is wearing an orange and dark teal wetsuit with the top part tied around her waist, An orange harness wraps around her waist and thighs. Her dark, greying hair, is braided to one side, revealing an undercut with a wavy pattern. Oksana is a taller, slimmer einarr woman. She has brown skin and long, curly, salt and pepper hair. She is wearing a blue captain's jacket, over a white blouse and tan breeches. They both look a little beat up, Oksana especially. Oksana looks over at Amber and says, "I think we're in charge."

The second image is of the pair, now viewed from some distance away. More of the ocean is visible, and the surface is illuminated with the lights of tens of tiny blink sharks, swirling around each other. The sky is warm with bright yellows and deep purples. Amber stares at the water in front of her and says, "Oh shit!"

What if we faced the first sunset of a new world, and we came to the dawning realization that we were the gods of that world, and we were childhood best friends?

anyway my trans Devo headcanons:

He got a tonewheel for his birthday when he was 16, and that's where he learned what being queer was from Seldom's broadcasts. He identified as a lesbian pretty strongly for a while, but he always kinda knew that wasn't quite it. He was 17ish when he finally admitted to himself he was trans. (and once he started perceiving himself as a man more often, he realized he was bi -- he just hated the idea of being with a guy as a girl)

He's not a binary/monogender trans guy. BUT he is in heavy denial about it. He'll get there eventually...

Seldom gave him guy's clothes when he came to his school, but they're all very basic and colorless and boring. He was never a big fan of them. He didn't really come into his own with masculine presentation until Nermal's Pile; she lets him try out whatever he wants. He's still kinda feeling things out, but he's way happier and has a lot more fun with it now.

Hair length isn't strongly gendered in Founders' Wake, it’s more tied to practicality. Guidance always kept his at shoulder-length and never let him change it at all. He was growing it out after leaving, but after confronting Orlean in the infinite clam he had a breakdown and chopped it all off. Amber helped him tidy it up and he's kept it short ever since.

There's some sort of magic HRT in Founders Wake, but since magic is rationed he hasn't gotten on it yet. Seldom was helping him with it; he's on a waiting list.

His chest dysphoria used to be a lot worse, he did a lot of unsafe homemade binding back at the parish, which gave him chronic back pain. Seldom convinced him to stop and got him a proper binder. Even that he can't wear too often cuz of his pain. It sucked a lot at first, but he's started to make peace with his chest and his dysphoria isn't quite as bad. He still binds more than he probably should though.

He has a decent amount of bottom dysphoria, he packs pretty much constantly.

The name Damian is the one he first picked out when he was accepting himself, as a replacement for his birth name (not Devotion, the Cern one). But he started to really hate being called Devotion, and Devo was something he could spin as a nickname without raising suspicion. Guidance hated it and told people not to use it, but at least a few people did, so when it came time to pick a new name, he was attached enough to it he went with that instead of Damian Cern (also cuz his relationship with the Cerns is. complicated.)

(The Cerns do call him Damian, but Tolliver had no idea, he isn't exactly a part of family dinner. Last he heard he had some little sister who he’d never met. So when Devo was like "my real name is... Damian Cern" Tolliver's response was a cover for him internally going "what the fuck what the fuck since when do i have a relative named Damian hold on????? did i forget a cousin or something????????? oh my god this is humiliating" Devo does not clarify and Tolliver is too proud to admit to not knowing so it's a good couple weeks after that when he finally learns how exactly theyre related)

TAZ Sapphic Week Day 4: Pirates + Again

You miss out on all the shots you don’t take.

And y’know what? Sometimes it works out!

#taz sapphic week #taz #taz ethersea #amber gris #oksana kodira #oksamber #the adventure zone #the adventure zone ethersea #not colored bc I’m sauuurrr tired this weekend and I still gotta finish the other entries 😭 hope this looks clean enough! #but i do like it. it has the vibes. its chaotic. its them #havent finished Ethersea yet (I’m on the last arc!) but god. their interactions. yall i get it. I. GET. IT. #cant wait for them to alter my brain chemistry once i finish Ethersea bc I have vague spoilers about what happens

[twacn]

OF COURSE Amber, after Koda attempted to manipulate her, made the least productive and most violent choice with a smile on her face, but only before her friends were safe.

OF COURSE Devo would psychically battle Orlean, win by tearing his brain apart (thus killing him) and still add "Take your family with you" to the call. Changing history and risking the security of a whole timeline, just to ensure the worst man in his life got a chance to be better in another life.

OF COURSE Zoox, when given near unlimited access to all the beings he's ever connected to, chose to use his newfound power to create a staircase for Devo and a trapdoor for Amber. Simple things to help them. "What do you want?" "To save my friends."

I just love how this season, the main trio don't always do the right, moral, or even most practical thing, but they always are themselves, and that comes with protecting each other.

All of this to say, I'm not ready for the last episode.

I just realized that a lot of people forgot something really important lore-wise and that’s why people are confused about parts of the finale.

Hominine assassins are called Whispers.

“Great Orators Seldom Whisper.”

“Great Orators Seldom Whisper.”

Orleen did try to warn Guidance. He literally told her Seldom was a trained assassin.

SO DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO FEAR IN THE DARKNESS OF THIS ATMOSPHERE!

[ID: A digital painting of Devo La Main from TAZ Ethersea and a male betta fish in an extremely dark setting, almost reminiscent of an aquarium tank in the dark.

Devo is a young half-elf man with brown skin, dark hair in a partial bun and blue eyes. From his neck, two purple gill covers and frills are shown in a flared position, extending outward. The scales from the frills extend up to his jawline and his cheeks. He is wearing a leather jacket with scale-like patterns.

The betta fish is the same color as Devo’s frills, but with a darker head and lighter fins and tail. Like Devo, his gills are also flared out in aggression.

Both are coldly staring down at the viewer, though Devo looks particularly furious with his eyes widened. There are light blue highlights accenting his figure. End description]

Absolutely loving the direction taz ethersea is taking wherein the young man with magic powers is not central to a prophesy about the end of the world, but the middle aged butch conspiracy theorist lady is

[dinerbrewcoffee]

Hey do you guys think new timeline Devo will slowly forget about the old timeline and Devo in general will start getting confused and mixed up and maybe eventually new Devo “discovers” old timeline or he just gets so confused that he forgets himself and tries to like attack Amber when she gets back eventually because he thinks she’s responsible for that timeline’s Orlean’s death and other jazz
