Dani taz, Carmen Sandiego, and Mary Sage

I apologize in advance for how long this post is going to be ;;-;;

Dani

favorite thing about them I think she’s fun! Who wouldn’t love an artist who’s also into plants, a wlw, living a hotel and also a cryptid vampire creature?

least favorite thing about them Honestly, she got so little development, I wish we got to see so much more of that. Like how long has she been at Amnesty Lodge?? Why did she get exiled from Sylvain?? What’s her favourite food?? there are so many unanswered questions

favorite line “Aubrey you feel like home” makes me SO SOFT!

brOTP Jake Coolice bayybeeee!!! Also Barclay for some weird kitchen antics. Also Thacker! Also Mama!!! So many friends. I might have the incorrect interpretation of that Brotp is or I just might want Dani to be very loved

OTP Aubrey of course

nOTP Literally anyone else

random headcanon I think I say this literally any chance I can get but her nickname is Dandelion and only people she’s very close to can call her that! unpopular opinion uhhh.. here’s one that only might get me a callout post. At the moment, looking at canon content exclusively, Dani’s only real purpose seemed to be a prize for Aubrey. I really wish Griffin had some really rad lore to give her and I extra wish we would’ve gotten it song i associate with them Dog Days are Over by Florence + The Machine. Also, unfortunately, Riptide by Vance Joy for whatever reason. No thoughts, head song the ukulele's equivalent to Wonderwall I guess

favorite picture of them Okay I have one piece from @/kyllu as my desktop background and it’s a drawing of Aubrey and Dani having a sleepover and Aubrey has illuminated the room with a fireball. It’s so pretty and I have such vivid memories of the first time seeing it because I was in an airport waiting for my flight home and I genuinely started crying looking at it. Also from the Davenport blog 2020 April Fool’s goof, Dani sitting on top of the roof with the caption “Tonight’s Dani misses home” is also VERY up there.

Carmen

favorite thing about them I love older Carmens too but there is really something fun about the 2019 version actively rebelling against the way she was raised and who raised her just so she can fight for what’s right. And she’s very strong and was able to make that decision and escape all on her own! Having three “teams” in the show rather than just the two “good guys” vs “bad guys” is something I enjoy

least favorite thing about them hmmm I genuinely cannot think of anything. I am very neutral about my opinions of Carmen specifically

favorite line ”Player, I made it. I’m off the island. I need to know where on earth I am” brOTP I *LOVE* the way her and Player’s friendship is portrayed and I can not get enough of it. They’ve been friends for over 4 years!! They call each other “Player” and “red” because that’s what they're comfortable with, no need to change it. They have a bit of an age gap but they’re still really close and they support each other so much. Geography special interest buddies. Amazing friends, respect each other’s boundaries.

OTP As much as I enjoy Carmivy I am actively opinionless

nOTP (ignoring a lot of BAD takes I see on instagram) If I see the words re//d//c.rackle one more time I am quitting

random headcanon I don’t remember how or why but one time my mom brought up the idea that Carmen has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and I probably think about it every day of my life now. It’s not based on much because my mom hasn’t watched the show but -shrug- Oh also Carmen’s hot drink of choice is hot cocoa

unpopular opinion Player and Carmen have absolutely no reason to meet up in person, do not force them to and overstep pre-established boundaries. Also, the headcanon that she and Player are siblings simply because they are both brown people who have a close bond fucking sucks.

song i associate with them I am bad at music favorite picture of them I’m pretty sure this doesn’t actually count but there’s this one shirt we made in a TKO game that is an image of Carmen and the caption is “carsvenm sidjsnem” and I cry laughing looking at it to this day and my biggest regret in life is not being able to buy it because the shop page got corrupted before we could save the link

Mary Sage

favorite thing about them Clint just really WENT FOR IT while making Mary. The concept of her parents owning a Bible Amusement Park, the fact she’s HIDING in said park, the anger, the betrayal, being abused and used as a living weapon by the dgf, she has the highest swear ratio in all of Commitment, the fact she is I think only once depicted standing on level ground with the PCs (almost every mention of her location is her being on top of a platform of some kind because she likes to be tall and dramatic) it’s *chef’s kiss* Let her learn how to trust people again.

least favorite thing about them WE DID NOT GET HER FOR LONG ENOUGH CLINTON. Also knowing deep down that if Commitment season 2 ever does happen the first thing that will happen is leaving Mary in the middle of nowhere never to be seen again :(

favorite line “nn-where d’ya want to go?” sticks out a lot “Everybody wants to hurt Space Cadet!” “And Mary begins to scream” “You… Shithead! You were gonna make me kill thousands of people!“

brOTP Remy! Remy! Remy! You don’t just unload your dramatic backstory on a person you met 5 minutes ago like that and just.... abandon them. They’d be pure chaos together, unstoppable.

OTP Nadiya uwu

nOTP Anyone else

random headcanon Mary finds a lot of comfort in hiding in small spaces. I was going to credit this to being caused by Halleluland but that makes zero sense if anything Halleluland would be a wide-open space. But small spaces are easy to keep track of, hide away from prying eyes and control everything that’s going on with-in them. Absolutely would steal all the available pillows just so she could sit comfy in a closet or something also she’s bilingual in French because rich kid in Lousiana

unpopular opinion uhhhhhhhh no idea. I don’t think a lot of people really gave Mary a chance

song i associate with them Dirty Imbicile by The Happy Fits

favorite picture of them The one everyone (read: 3 people) in a discord server used as their icon for a couple months because we all thought it was funny (and it was). It was cropped from a comic panel of Mary seeing Kardala for the first time which was drawn by @/ 1010lilfoot

no checking for typos we die like men

daybreak - a taz amnesty fanfic

Genre: angst

Wordcount: 1,579

Characters: Aubrey, Janelle, Ned, Duck, Dr Harris Bonkers

Setting: sometime during the whole mimic thing

Content warnings: none that I can think of

Summary: Aubrey makes a tough decision, leaving the rest of the Pine Guard in the dark.

Aubrey doesn’t tell the others what she plans to do. She doesn’t tell them anything, actually, only leaves a hastily scribbled note by the door of the Lodge:

Gone to see Janelle. Back by daybreak.

- Aubrey

She keeps it light and deliberately vague, enough for any of the Pine Guard to interpret but not enough to raise suspicion if someone like Agent Stern were to come across it first. Janelle could be anyone – her friend, her cousin, her girlfriend. It’s unlikely that his first thought would be that Janelle is her magical mentor, a being from another world who’s helping her master her own mysterious magical powers and her connection to a planet that isn’t her own. And if Ned or Duck read the note, their first thought is likely to align with her feigned cheerfulness rather than with her true intentions.

Aubrey sets the pen down on top of the note, brushing her fingertips against the paper as she lets out a soft sigh. She wonders if Mama will read between the lines, or maybe Dani, if either of them will read the last line correctly. Not back by daybreak, but if I’m not back by daybreak, I’m not coming back.

“Don’t give me that look,” Aubrey admonishes gently, bending down to farewell her truest friend. Dr Harris Bonkers blinks, his gaze disapproving, but his demeanor changes as Aubrey pulls out a small packet from the pocket of her jacket. “Got you your favorite.”

She holds out her hand and Dr Harris Bonkers eagerly grabs the marshmallow resting on her palm. She’s not sure when she realized that her rabbit had a sweet tooth, but it had come in handy when training him to help with her act. There’s not much he wouldn’t do for a sweet treat, and a strawberry marshmallow will be more than enough to allow her to leave. She ruffles his fur, straightens up, and leaves the rest of the packet on top of the note. If Dani finds it, she’ll know.

Then, feigning confidence in the hopes that it will mask her ever-increasing fear, Aubrey walks away from the place that had been her home for the past few months, and toward a world that was never supposed to be hers.

When she reaches Sylvain, Janelle is waiting for her as planned. Her eyes are troubled but there’s a glint in them that Aubrey can’t ignore, a soft shimmer of hope that cements her certainty that she’s doing the right thing. The rest of the Pine Guard probably wouldn’t see it that way, but they’d been unable to come up with a better plan as they watched the quell gain power and Sylvain fade ever further from what she was.

Janelle reaches for her and then pulls back, remembering herself. “You don’t have to do this, Aubrey,” she says quietly.

Aubrey smiles, appreciating her mentor’s tact and concern. “I know.”

“This – It isn’t your fight. You could walk away and -”

“I know.”

A long moment passes, and then Janelle reaches forward, resting a reassuring hand on Aubrey’s shoulder. “You’re a good person, Aubrey Little.”

The weight of Janelle’s hand, a steadying presence, grounds Aubrey, reminding her of the significance of the situation. Unable to respond to such praise, Aubrey simply smiles, trying to push away the cold pit of fear in her stomach. She’s doing the right thing, and that’s all that matters. “We should go.”

Janelle leads her to the crystal, each step bringing Aubrey closer to reliving memory that’s burned into her mind like a brand. As the courtyard comes into sight the memories become more forceful, demanding her attention. Death, looming on the horizon – distance, drifting from safety and from life itself – drowning in the depths of something she can’t understand –

“I would like it to stop, please.” Aubrey’s words as always are polite, but there’s a firmness in them now that resonates with her magic, and the memories fade. She’s not sure what kind of spell it would count as – healing? Memory manipulation? Mind control? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that she has to follow through.

They stop in front of the crystal, which is still surrounded by the flowers that Aubrey had brought forth the last time she was here. The sight of them fills her with an emotion she can’t name, though some come close – hiraeth, toska, onism – and the pull of the crystal is so inexorable that Aubrey isn’t even aware of the moment she starts moving toward it. She comes back to herself when Janelle blocks her path, holding up a hand in warning.

“Are you sure you want to go through with this, Aubrey?” she asks one last time. “We have time. Not much, but it – it’s enough. You don’t have to save our world. It’s not your responsibility.”

But it is, in a way that Aubrey can neither explain nor understand. It feels like everything that’s happened so far has led her to this moment, guiding her steps toward this crystal, this garden of her creation, this alien world that almost feels like home. Janelle seems to sense her determination and lowers her hand, but doesn’t move out of her way.

“There’s no other choice,” Aubrey murmurs. “Either I do this – I let the crystal take whatever energy – or lifeforce, whatever you want to call it – it needs from me, or the mimic will keep luring other people here to take it from them.”

“You do realize that it may not be sufficient,” Janelle says carefully. “You’re strong, Aubrey, but you’re not invincible. You have a finite amount of energy, and if the crystal takes too much from you -”

“Then at least it buys you a little more time.” Aubrey avoids stating the obvious, but it weighs heavy on her mind. If the crystal requires more energy than she has, then she might pay for it with her life. But she knew that going into this endeavor, and she’s not going to change her mind now.

Janelle doesn’t say it either, but she lowers her head, as if paying pre-emptive respects. Then she raises her eyes, steels herself, and steps out of the way. Aubrey dips her head in acknowledgement, gathering her courage for only a moment before she moves forward. If she’s right, doing this will save Sylvain. And if she’s wrong, it might still be enough to stave off the quell until the Pine Guard can find a better solution. Either way, she did what she had to do. She just hopes the others can understand that.

This time it feels like the crystal welcomes her, reaching for her as much as she reaches for it, and as her hand makes contact with the glimmering surface the world seems to shatter and the flowers beneath her feet catch her as she falls.

Duck is already there when Ned arrives, standing by the window with his helmet under one arm and Dr Harris Bonkers hopping around his feet. They both look over as Ned enters, and heavy silence settles over the room as the newcomer gauges the mood.

“Rough day?” Ned asks with a nervous chuckle, closing the door behind him to block out the darkness beyond. Although he’d promised he’d be here before dawn so they could start the next hunt, he’s cutting it pretty fine. The sun will start to rise in a few minutes, and if he’d been late again he’d never hear the end of it. But something tells him that’s about to be the least of his concerns.

The Lodge is bathed in soft warm light, golden like a smaller sun, but the room is cold and Duck’s expression is dark. Without a word Duck hands over a piece of paper, which Ned scans with a sinking heart. By the time he reaches the final word – her name, just her name – he’s let go of the paper and it flutters to the floor. He knows what the note means, he knows why Aubrey left, and he knows now why Duck is in such a strange mood.

“Daybreak, huh?” Ned says, heading for one of the chairs by the window. He sinks into it heavily, pushing the one opposite him further out to invite Duck to join him. After a moment he does, easing into the chair as if the weight of the world is on his shoulders.

“Daybreak,” Duck confirms. Dr Harris Bonkers hops over to him then, and Duck scoops him up without thinking, letting the oversized rabbit settle on his lap. His warm weight is reassuring, but not enough to allay his growing fears.

Together they sit in silence, and they wait for the sun to rise.

I was able to listen to all of the TAZ Commitment Arc at work and I have to say Remmy was my favorite because he was silly and goofy but he still had small moments of like intelligence but in a real goofy way. Kardala would be my second favorite because she was just real fun to listen too and it was enjoyable to see the difference between her and Irene who is my third favorite because she was an overall sweet lady. Nadiya was cool but I was so used to Travis playing that goofy and kind hearted rowdy boi Magnus that it was hard to really enjoy Nadiya. As a character she was interesting especially because she was, as Travis described, a polar opposite of Magnus. On another note for Clint’s first time DMing he did pretty decent and seemed like he had alot of fun with it and I liked the story even if it was short! It got all National treasury towards the end which was kinda neat. I can’t wait to start the TAZ Amnesty Arc tomorrow. I think Griffin is back to DMing for that one. I’d love to see Justin DM for the next Arc and I would really love to see Travis bring TAZ [K]nights to the itunes podcast because I really miss my girl Troth and i’ve only listened the two TAZ [K]nights episodes that are available outside of the MFD page thingy or whatever and I am really curious on if they continued that Arc. (Hmmm I might have to go back and re-listen to it because i’m not sure if it was an actually completed Arc like these short ones are...)

Entry #5 - Saturday, March 31, 2018

:P how’s it goin

So what has happened, I’ve been having half days and those were cool, I’m still working with Insert in my lab group in bio and I’ve been really hating his fucking guts

In gym, Natalie has been telling me about everything but sex her and her boyfriend have been having and it’s been grossing me out verily, but I’m happy that she’s happy. Also the fact that she’s talking to me might clear up the fact she might have started hating me, idk

On Sunday I saw Love Simon with my sister because planning with friends is fucking hard. It was an amazing movie and it had so much thought and care put into it and it was just amazing and yeah, I don’t want to go into too much for spoilers for both the book and movie but it was amazing. Then on Monday I saw it again with my friends and english honors class, which was also cool except I have two aquantinances that came along.

One her name is Parrot because she’s annoying like one. The only way to explain her is cringe and gay. She goes out of her way every single day to remind every single person she ever talks to that she is gay, then she is a huge FNAF, Bendy, Overwatch, DDLC, etc. fan and she just bogs so much shit down that people once found enjoyable. She went crazy inviting non-English Honors people to the movie when we first got allowed to. She always gets into other people’s business even though she isn’t part of the conversation. So when she invited all these people she invited the next person

Her name is Sam. She’s that kind of person who thinks hurting people is the way to make friends. News flash it isn’t. In the past she has broken my Jughead beanie so I had to get a new one, and been just overall kinda very abusive. So Parrot invited her and because Parrot was late to the book talk before we saw the movie etc. I was stuck with Sam, and I couldn’t go over to my rfiends who probably were glad not to have me over there as I was only close with two of them and slightly close with the rest. Then she just stuck with me and Kate and Ruby for the rest of the day. It was somewhat fun, when ***SPOILERS*** Simon and Brahm first kissed, I started the applause and the entire theater applauded it was awesome.

What else has happened, I had tons of tests and stuff because spring break is coming up, they were eh. My history teacher had us write a very last minute essay on a topic form the 20s, I chose early movies so I hope I did good.

Passover has started and I’m already dreading not being able to eat things because my mom forces it upon me when I can eat whatever i want because

A) My dad is christian so i can just say I’m taking part in his religion

B) I’m actually an atheist so I don’t think any of the God shit for this holiday is real

My cousin drew me further into Fortnite, it is still an okay game but eh I don’t care much for it

Oh also on Thursday, Emma lost her dongle for her phone so I tired looking for an extra dongle but I didn’t have one but I did have the apple brand headphones that had the lighting cabe end already so I gave those to her and she tried to hug me, I just stood still, I feel kinda bad and that i should apologize but I can’t find a good time. She did put on her story a pic of the headphones with “I love my friends thank you C” (my name obviously blurred out) so yeah that felt good-ish.

Greg’s been getting suicidal and depressed again and even though we all say that he belongs and that he is our close friend, he still thinks it’s all bullshit and stuff. But sometimes I don’t feel as bad like when he sends a sentence long text and then ‘tries to delete it’ when it is obvious he sent the “accidental” message on purpose

I was excited about the announcement for Season 2 of TAZ, which is Griffin’s Amnesty arc so yeah.

Oh also there’s these new accounts for confessions and advice for our school so me and Sistine are trying to figure out who runs the account like a murder mystery

Anyways, Easter is tomorrow and i can’t wait to go to the car shwo like we do every year :P

Happy Holidays I guess,

Sincerely,

#fuck life #fuck school #feelings suck #love simon #taz #the zone cast #thezonecast #fuck fortnite #why #why am i like this #idk what else to tag #:P
