hi<3 meme redraw of this

[i.d. A twitter user with an icon of taako dressed as jenna marbles in early 2000's accessories has posted two photos with the caption "gona delete". The first image is of taako taking a mirror selfie. He has a bowlcut and is throwing up a peace sign. Taako wears a wizard hat and hoodie. The second image is a closeup of taako's haircut with a pink heart filter. He winks at the camera while the words "bowl cut bitch" cover part of his face. Another user with a kravitz icon, also dressed in early 2000's accessories, replies "well hurry up" end i.d.]

Drawing my favorite guy

I think more people should give Kravtiz wings. In my head he is a bird

[Image description: digital art of Kravitz from The Adventure Zone, seen from the waist up. He's a slim Black man with long dreadlocks in a partial bun, medium-dark brown skin with a red undertone, and large dark purple wings folded behind him. 

He's dressed formally, and a book floats above one of his open palms, as he speaks with a haughty expression. The background is white, with several purple shapes behind Kravitz. End description.]

Watching TAZ Imbalance, I was charmed by the idea of Kravitz falling in love with the pomeranian

[probablyscreamingintothevoid]

i am currently relistening to TAZ Balance, because the newest graphic novel just came out a couple weeks ago, and I wanted to relisten and reread at the same time.

the eleventh hour graphic novel was beautiful. it was some of the best art work from the series (in my personal opinion). but I am so excited to see the suffering games arc in graphic novel form.

there are so many moments in the suffering game arc that are beautiful, but seeing what the McElroys decide to do with the arms outstretched scene is going to be amazing

i have watched so many fan made variations of the scene. and I just really look forward to what they decide to do with the characters in that moment.

they have a way of adding layers to the characters in the graphic novels, expressing emotion that is almost lost in an audio medium when it's just three bothers and their dad making so many goofs. but they're really trying.

i am excited to see how they choose to portray all the characters, their reactions.

The panic as magnus gets knocked out of his body, seeing his friends still in this horrible place next to horrible monsters

taako making an impulse choice to separate his soul from his body to go bring his friend back because even back in Phandalin the thought of losing this big ruff boi terrified him in ways he couldn't understand

merle digging deep and finding his magic even after his deity didn't answer his call, using divine power to grab his friends on a different plane of existence because he lost his family once and he isn't going to let it happen again

kravtiz fighting for his life, trying to break free from the thing that is attacking his home, seeing Taako and Magnus being taken back to the plane they belong in.

i just can't wait

it's gonna be great

[voidfishling]

“You, Taako Taaco, are a liar.”

Taako looks up at the Grand Auditor with all his abject terror frozen into flippant contempt.

The Auditor sneers, leaning forward on his throne. “There isn’t so much as a wisp of necromancy clinging to your being.”

With a wry sort of smile Taako looks the human up and down. “Some of us have hidden depths, my man.” He just needs to buy time. Enough time for Magnus and Lucretia to destroy the lab with the regeneration pod and for Davenport and Merle to hide Barry and Lup somewhere far, far away. Somewhere where the Auditor’s reapers won’t find them. Out of the city, if they can manage to get over the wall.

The Auditor rises from his seat, the raven feathers on his cloak ruffling with the sudden movement. “Your sister died,” he growls. “I have read the reports. She died exactly three months ago and yet-” He taps at the hourglass with Lup’s name on it, still full of glistening sand streaming merrily downward. “Here she is.” His pale eyes spark furiously. “And you’re trying to tell me that you – a little fool of a transmuting cook – singlehandedly brought her back from the dead?”

Taako’s insides twist. No one is getting their hands on his stupid litch sister. No one is laying a finger on his stupid necromancer brother. No one. They can do with him whatever they want. “Ya,” he sneers. “That’s what I’ve been telling you, right? You p—”

“No. He didn’t.”

The blood freezes in Taako’s veins. He knows that voice.

Kravitz is standing to attention in the doorway to the interrogation chamber. He is looking at the Auditor with restrained respect and Taako feels as if someone just stuck a knife between his ribs. Kravitz. The only Reaper that was willing to listen to them. The only Reaper that had responded to their heretic claim that they did not believe the Grand Auditor still operated on the mandate of the Raven Queen with a harrowed “you’re right”. The only Reaper they had trusted enough to tell him that they had not been able to find any devotee of the Goddess of Death that had been able to truly commune with their Queen for years, and who had answered this with a grey-faced “I know.”

And now he’s here, bowing to that two-faced, stupidly dressed, tyrant like none of it ever happened.

The Auditor grins, his shoulders broadening with triumph, until Kravitz suddenly continues:

“I did.”

Taako does not manage to keep a straight face, which is a bloody rookie mistake, but it doesn’t matter. The Auditor isn’t looking at him, he’s gawking at Kravitz.

“You what?”

Kravitz stands in front of him, unflinching. “We all get three passes, he says tensely. “Three opportunities to sow instead of reap.”

Even through his bewilderment Taako feels a stab of fury. Of course. Of course they are allowed to toy with the rules of life and death.

“I have never made use of it,” Kravitz continues, his dark eyes fixed on the Auditor with a strange sort of force. “Bringing back Lup Taaco is my first invocation of the privilege.”

All of the Auditor’s features seem to bulging out at once with anger. “And on what grounds do you expect to justify this invocation?” he spits.

Taako just catches Kravitz’ eyes darting in his direction with a look of frantic, desperate apology.

“Personal gain,” he replies, sounding far calmer than what Taako just saw in him. “I thought bringing back the sister was as good a way as any to court the brother.”

A single split second Taako floats in a void of shock, and then he breaks out his most self-satisfied smile. “And a good thing too, I wouldn’t have settled for anything less.” He smoothly sidles up to Kravitz and links his arm with his. “A handsome face alone is not enough to get a crack at all this, you know.”

The Auditor is spluttering, all but choking on his objections, and Taako knows why. The Auditor doesn’t possess anything even close to the magical prowess that his reapers do. That’s what he employs them for. That’s why they get privileges. He needs them. Kravitz – Taako has to begrudgingly admit – has made a pretty brilliant move here.

Well, no use half-assing things. That’s absolutely not the Taaco way. Unless it’s boring responsibilities, of course, but pretending to be the Grim Reaper’s new flame does not – whatever else it might turn out to be – boring. So Taako deliberately leans his head against Kravitz’ shoulder, idly blowing one of the raven feathers adorning his dreads out of his face. “You could have told me about the ‘reapers get a free pass’ thing, babe. I’ve been behaving like a major doofus in front of your boss there.”

For a horrified moment it feels like Kravitz is actually going to freeze up, but then he suddenly pulls him a little closer and hums:

“My apologies, I really wasn’t expecting you to give yourself up like this.” He glances at the Auditor. “But I’m sure His Honour will forgive you, now we’ve explained the situation.”

Taako doesn’t have a reply to that, mostly because Kravitz just did something weird and purr-like with his voice that he’s never heard before and that’s currently stuck in his chest somewhere. But if he’s going to keep this thing up long enough to get his family out of trouble, he had better get used to that. And as for that furious, helpless look on the Auditor’s face, he could definitely get used to that.

taako: depression says No Interaction kravitz: >:) taako: fuck you there is only one bitch i will interact with rn Tags are referencing this post! [Image description: A four panel comic featuring Taako and Kravitz from The Adventure Zone: Balance podcast, preceeded by screencaps of several Tumblr tags. The tags read: “This is EXACTLY my shit holy fuck. These two dramatic icons mean everything to me. Like he is still pissed at her but the look on her face at seeing Susan’s bullshit is priceless to him. Taako needed his wine and complaining person and Lucretia is the best for that. IncredIble. I live for post S&S Taako and Lucretia just vaguely being dicks to each other in an effort to reform their bond. They are strained, they are family, they can’t stand each other, they are friends. They contain multitudes. Yes! They should be close!“ There is an additional comment that says, “Hope you don’t mind me adding ID for the tags,” and a handwritten response from the artist reads, “V smart! Thank you, I forgot!” There is a further standalone comment that reads, “Team bonding. That’s actually why Krav invites Susan over all the time,” and the artist has responded, “OP your mind!!!” In the first panel of the comic, Taako is curled up in a chair reading a book. He looks tired. Kravitz is behind the chair petting his hair and saying, “You look like you’ve been here all day, love!” Taako responds, “Mmm. Didn’t feel like going out.” The second panel is a closeup of Kravitz’s expression, unimpressed. He asks, “You haven’t moved?” and Taako replies, “Nope.” He then asks, “Have you talked to anybody?” and Taako only says, “Mm.” In the third panel, Kravitz is leaning against a wall in the next room with his arms folded and one leg propped up. He has his Advneture Zune out and is saying, “Hello Susan. Taako and I were wondering if you’d like to come for dinner,” into it. Taako in the backround has laid his head on the arm of the chair and his ear has perked up. In the final panel Taako is angrily snatching his own Adventure Zune off the floor and dialing; a computerized voice coming out of it reads, “Calling Lucretia.” Taako looks extremely perturbed and is muttering, “Motherfucker.” End ID.}

45 (the human bones can be forgiven but if they load the dishwasher wrong one more time) w taakitz :O?? -ise

Prompt from this prompt list here! <- Still accepting! (But may take a while to get to it)

Also, I am really really sorry it took so long to finish this one 😭

~

It's early afternoon by the time Taako comes home from his visit to his Amazing School of Magic, and though he spent all morning performing for his students, answering their questions, and, of course, giving out free autographs, he finds himself with enough energy and motivation to do something other than crash on the couch and watch The Great Faerûnian Bake Off. It's a good thing too, he muses, as he drops his keys down on the kitchen counter and surveys the room and the rooms beyond the kitchen. The house isn't a total disaster; just a little messy. There's a few things scattered across the kitchen counters and some dishes left in the sink, and the living room has some blankets and pillows thrown around the room. All of it is covered in cat fur, he's sure. He's been meaning to do some deep cleaning too, so maybe this is the day to do it.

Taako checks and refills Tiny Taco's water fountain before he jogs upstairs to his bedroom. He stops on the stairs for a few moments as the cat himself slinks up to him and rubs his face against his leg, purring. Taako bends down and pets him for a few seconds before he laughs and says, “I missed you too, pumpkin, but I need to go change so I can start cleaning.”

Tiny Taco blinks up at him and meows.

Taako sighs. “Fine, but I can't hold you for very long,” he relents before scooping the cat up into his arms and continuing on.

Tiny Taco's ears perk up when they enter the bedroom, and he leaps out of Taako's arms and runs up to his cat tree before climbing it and laying down on the top platform. Taako waves at him before he opens his closet and rifles through his clothes to find a less decorative outfit. Something suitable for cleaning. He finds one of Magnus' old shirts that he thinks he actually got back when they were running from the Hunger. He slides it off the hanger and gets a better look at it. It's a souvenir t-shirt for an amusemet park that they went to back in cycle 43 if he remembers correctly. No idea how it ended up in his closet after...

It doesn't matter, he decides, as he closes the closet and digs out a pair of Kravitz's sweatpants out of the dresser. It's his now. That's how it has always worked, and it'll serve him well in preventing chemicals getting on his better shirts.

After he changes outfits and rebraids his hair, Taako gets to work picking things up from the floor and the counters and putting them away. He throws the blankets and pillows from the living room into the washer, and uses the time waiting for the laundry to be done to vacuum the carpet and the couch. By the time the timer for the dryer goes off, he's wiped down the dining room table and chairs and cleaned up most of the guest bathroom. He finishes what he's doing there before he grabs the blankets and pillows and brings them to the living room where he places the pillows back on the couch and folds the blankets. Once the blankets have been folded, he carefully carries them in a stack to the upstairs hall closet and opens the door.

It is in this moment that Taako remembers why the blankets were in the living room in the first place.

He should not have opened the closet door.

That's his last thought before a huge pile of bleached humanoid bones and skeletons slam into him and knock him to the floor. The stack of blankets fly out of his hands and unfold on top of him, covering his head and chest in a big pile of warm fabric as bones continue to pile on top of the rest of him and the blankets. After the pile of bones settles, he lays there for a few moments longer before slowly pushing the blankets up and off of his face. He can feel bones being disrupted and falling to the sides of him as he shoves the blankets away from him, and as soon as he gets free from the blankets, a human skull knocks him on the forehead before rolling down next to his ear. He looks over to stare at it, and the skull stares back with its empty eye sockets.

“I need to talk to him about this, this is getting ridculous,” Taako mutters before fighting his way to a sitting position. He doesn't necessarily mind that Kravitz has been collecting skeletons from raids on wayward souls that have been borrowing them after their escape from the Astral Plane. Trying to find where they belong is hard when they're found nowhere near any identifiable graveyards. But they need to find some other place to put them for now while Kravitz works this out. He wants his closet space back.

After about fifteen minutes of struggling and cursing, Taako manages to shove all of the skeletons back into the closet and slam the door closed behind them. He keeps his back up against it for a few seconds and sighs before moving on to fold the blankets again and carrying them back down stairs to lay them back on the couch for the time being. He stands there staring at the blankets on the couch with his hands on his hips. His energy is waning, but he thinks he has enough to put the few remaining dishes in the sink into the dishwasher. Then when Kravitz, Lup, and Barry get home, he can enlist them to show Kravitz how to clean the oven and stove if they're not too exhausted.

Taako turns on his heel and walks into the kitchen. He turns the water on in the sink and opens the dishwasher, but he quickly turns off the water again as he swears in irritation. He pulls out the bottom rack and looks it over more closely before roughly pulling back the top rack. Kravtiz must have been the one to fill up the dishwasher last. Taako's wooden spoons are laying in the top rack, the bowls and plates are all out of order, some of the knives in his brand new knife set that shouldn't be in there in the first place are blade up in the cutlery rack, and Lup's favorite mugs that also shouldn't be in the dishwasher are spread out along the top rack. It's the worst use of space Taako has ever seen, and he is so glad that he found this before it got ran and destroyed a quarter of the dishes in there.

He takes a second to breathe and calm down. He's just trying to help. He hasn't had to do the dishes in at least over a century, so he has to be patient. He can show him how to fill the dishwasher again, and maybe this time he will get it. Because as much as he loves that man, if Kravitz ruins his knives and wooden spoons, he's going to strangle him.

Not that it would do much, but the sentiment would be clear.

Taako breathes in... then out. In... Out... In... Out... Then he turns the water back on again and rescues his spoons and Lup's mugs first before he finishes sorting out the rest of that mess.

-

“Hey, babe! We're home!” Kravitz's voice rings out as Taako hears the front door slam behind him.

Taako gets up from the couch, and as he approaches the front hallway, Lup stomps past him and starts heading up the stairs. “I'm going to be in the bath for the next hour and a half. Don't call for me unless the house is burning down.”

“That bad huh?” Taako calls after her, but he doesn't get a response.

Barry walks up to him next, and he's covered head to toe in blood. Taako can't tell if it's his blood or other people's blood, but either way, Barry looks too exhausted to do much about it himself. He stops to look at him for a few moments before he sighs and says, “Remember the city that worshipped that super powerful necromancer back in cycle 55 and had a whole army of zombies at their disposal?”

Taako shivers involuntarily. That was one of the cycles that he died during while trying to get the Light out of the necromancer's tower. Being eaten by zombies is definitely not the most elegant way to go.

“Imagine that, but instead of a city, it's a still pretty sizable cult, but also instead of facing off against a dragonborn necromancer, it's a dracolich,” Barry says.

“Complete with zombies?”

“Complete with zombies,” Barry affirms as he nods his head gravely. Then he trudges past him and walks up the stairs too.

Taako sighs and rubs a hand down his face. Shit. How is he going to get through to Kravitz the importance of a well loaded dishwasher if he just came back from a really hard and exhausting mission?

He's broken out of his thoughts as Kravitz finally makes his way past the front hall and up to where he's standing. He also looks a lot worse for wear with his clothes torn and blood caking his hair and body. He looks exhausted, but he still manages to give Taako a dazzling smile as he says, “Hey, babe. I'd give you a hug and a kiss, but I don't think you want to get blood all over you.”

Taako grins back. “Decidedly not. Um, I know you just got back from a super hard job, but when you get all cleaned up and everything, I need to talk to you about something.”

Kravitz frowns worriedly. “Is everything okay?”

Taako sighs. “Yeah, everything's fine, I was just doing some cleaning earlier, and– I guess I need to talk to you about two things because, babe, I know having an excess number of skeletons comes with the territory of dating the Grim Reaper, but I'd really like my closet space back.” Kravitz laughs, and Taako laughs a little too before his smile fades again. “The thing I really need to talk to you about though–” He takes a deep breath. “–Thank you for loading the dishwasher, I really appreciate it and that you're trying to help around the house–”

Kravitz's face falls. “I did it wrong again, didn't I?”

Taako tries to give him a patient and reassuring smile. “Yeah, but I know you're trying your best, so I'm going to show you how to load it again, and if you want, it might help if you write it down, so you'll have something to reference when you do it next time.”

Kravitz smiles a little again. “That's a good idea. I'll be sure to grab a pen and paper on my way back down after showering.”

“Thank you.”

Kravitz blows him a kiss, and Taako smiles bigger and blows a kiss back. Then he watches his boyfriend walk upstairs with his heart full of love. He's going to get it this time, he's sure of it. He's going to master the art of proper dishwasher procedure, and Taako isn't going to have to worry about rescuing his non-dishwasher safe dishes ever again.

He hopes.
