hey guys watch this

Image description: a gray-toned digital sketch of Magnus Burnsides and the Voidfish, both from the Adventure Zone. Magnus is a young human man, he has medium-dark skin and dark curly hair. He has a black eye on his left eye, and a pale bandage on the same cheek.

In his arms is the Voidfish, a pillow-sized creature that resembles a white-spotted jellyfish. It is dark in tone with white spots resembling stars, and multiple of its tendrils end in white balls, resembling faerie lights.

Magnus is shown on his knees, holding the Voidfish in a tight embrace. He is smiling tearfully and his eyes are closed. The Voidfish reaches up with one tendril to wipe a tear from his face. End description

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.]

I've been listening through TAZ: Balance and I have Blupjeans brainrot.... I'm still figuring out designs these were just some doodles while I was on the phone ✨

#taz #taz balance #taz: balance #lup #barry bluejeans #taz lup #taz barry #fanart #taz balance spoilers #the adventure zone #blupjeans #i love them ur honor #unsure about lups colors.... and i might want barry to have darker hair #i was trying to go off of the graphic novel designs (taako for lup obvs) but. #the stolen century #my art

[anistarrose]

consider: demiromantic blupjeans who make rings for each other out of their own dry and bleached-white bones because they're little freaks (affectionate), but also because of the added symbolism of aro-spec white rings. consider demi blupjeans where the time they spent falling for each other is just as important and meaningful to them as their love itself

#taz #taz balance #taz balance spoilers #blupjeans #lup taaco #barry bluejeans #sometimes i forget this isn't like. a popular headcanon for them #because like? the way they didn't catch feelings for each other until cycles deep into the century? #the way they spent even more decades not knowing what to *do* with those feelings #in a way consistent with people who might not have *had* those feelings before? #i'm kinda obsessed with it. i'm kinda obsessed with the way the stolen century changed everything for them by giving them time #NOT in a way like “not being able to fall in love would be a tragedy” #but in the way that it gave them time to *realize* something about themselves that they probably wouldn't have otherwise #aspec taz

Some people out here pretending Blupjeans was one sided Bluejeans Pining™️ until Legato but Griffin said Lup’s moment of realization was SOON AFTER HIS, coming to her in CYCLE 17!!!! MY GIRL IS 30 YEARS DEEP in this fantastic and beautiful love by the time they walk up on that stage

IT REACHED INEVITABILITY

Taako when asked why he's in this career, Episode 50: "Because I'm worried no one else will have me"."

Griffin, Episode 66: "What home is good enough for Taako? The answer was: there isn't one. Everyone in the world deserved to be around you, Taako, to see what you do, what you're capable of. And you deserve it too, Taako, to be recognized, to be admired by every living person you ever encounter. "

I feel like we don’t talk enough about the fact that taako canonically stole a bunch of inspirational quotes from celebrities from his homeworld (who had all at this point been consumed by the Hunger) and thus inspired So Many Art Students to get their shit together. Specifically thinking about that one guy who was like “I gotta change some things. About ME.” and then we never hear from them again. I hope all those art students are thriving.

Thinking about the beach year tonight. So much of stolen century is beautiful and intense and the stated point of the beach year is to get a break but. It’s still in the middle of the century you know? The players and the characters and the audience are ALL still feeling the weight of everything around it the whole time, and because of that it becomes so much more than a fun break. Like there’s goofiness and joy for sure but it’s still so steeped in the intensity and sadness and we end up with this stunningly realistic experience of the moment of calm in the midst of a terrible storm. At the end of it there’s going to be another year, right? And they know that and we know that. 

#taz #the adventure zone #taz balance #taz balance spoilers #my stuff #It's also such a lesson in the value of having character time in a dnd game #especially one thats also a story #it adds so much to the overall arc of the stolen century and to everyones characters over the whole podcast #to get to see what they do in this moment of reprieve #anyway im wildly in love with the beach year dont mind me

Something about the inherent anger in optimism.

[Id: A fully rendered digital drawing of Merle Highchurch from The Adventure Zone.

He is a fat, Black dwarf man with long, wavy gray hair and a full beard. He has a nicked ear and a small scar on his shoulder as well as otter-like whiskers and a protruding fang.

He is sitting in an office chair, his elbows resting on a table. He is glaring at an off-screen character (John), pointing down at the table as if to emphasize a point. A text queue underneath him says: “- You can apologize to me and tell me you were wrong”. End description.]

Thinking abt the seven birds speech again in relation to the forgotten decade again because like. The vast majority of their titles describe them in the stolen century but are broken in the decade after. The twins are separated, Barry loses his lover, Magnus fails to protect Julia and Raven's Roost, Merle abandons the peaceful beach and his family. There are still remnants, in how they act, particularly with Barry being driven by his love and gestures such as Merle attempting to make peace with Gundren Rockseeker, but broadly their titles don't fit as well as they used to.

This is with the glaring exception of Lucretia and Davenport.

Lucretia was always the journal-keeper, but lonely? You could argue her title is split in two; she used to be just the journal-keeper where she no longer is, and she is now lonely like she didn't used to be.

Meanwhile, Davenport's title of wordless one is only applicable to his voidfished self.

I don't know where I'm going with this, but it's interesting. I think there's something vital in that it's coming from Maureen, who had the most contact with Lucretia. Did she ever see those lonely journals? Hear stories of the twins and the lover and the protector and the peacemaker? See Davenport without words in the BoB? There's something there.

When you were away on missions, she worried. When you came home, she rejoiced. She tried her hardest not to show it, not to give herself away. With each meal, each Candlenights gift exchanged, the nights spent walking the Bureau’s campus, the trips to the spa— she fought back a smile that you came to treasure during your one hundred year journey. A radiant smile, full of joy and relief.

It’s the same smile you just saw, moments ago, when Magnus burst into the dome, alive again, a mannequin no longer. Her friends were here again. In her hour of greatest need. But that smile is gone now. The Hunger’s here, again. You’ve escaped it a hundred times, but no more. This is it.

This is it!
