at least once a month i think about how the first campaign of the adventure zone started with dick jokes and the nuclear annihilation of an entire town and ended almost three years later with me sobbing openly at 2am over a piece of media that mentally and emotionally changed me as a person

I have this very minor but dearly headcanon that in Taako's childhood, Garyl was initially his stuffed animal/wisecracking imaginary friend who he blamed all his troublemaking mischief on, like Calvin and Hobbes style. except years later, Taako learned Phantom Steed and immediately proceed to make Garyl real (and just as willing as ever to cause problems on purpose)

This weekend I completed Harold, the bulbulgoose.

Described in Steeplechase Ep 34 as “sort of a weaselly type creature with wings on its back. And this is a bulbul goose”, with the additional clarification of “a bulbul is a songbird that is called a bulbul, and a mongoose is a mongoose. And it is a hybrid of a mongoose and a bulbul.”

The references I used were a banded mongoose and a redwhiskered bulbul.

TAZ vs Dracula has been carrying me all January it is so good

[taz-metamals]

average travis player character: some sort of guy with backstory happenings of various levels of tragedy

average clint player character: old man with a mischievous streak (always on the verge of death)

average griffin player character: lil guy with impostor syndrome and trying SO hard

average justin player character: the weirdest person anyone has ever heard of, ever

Extremely rough first stab at the Taz Vs. Dracula lineup bc I love them all so so much already and don’t have the time to finish a lineup of characters for fun rn 🥲

Close up sketches, design notes and surprise drac under the break:

Travis’ characters are always the hardest for me to design idk why, but I made him very western inspired with some vampire hunting flair. Lady Agatha Thistle’s breed was one I hadn’t heard of before but I love a good blood hound. I always end up making Travis’s chapters warm toned, they’re all very red/orange coded to me. (Beef would be the exception I think he’s very pink and blue in my mind)

Clint always makes the sweetest roundest characters I love designing his. I wish we had a cannon spelling because there’s so many directions you can go with “Filo” also his characters are usually green or green adjacent to me. I cant wait to see him bust out more booger potions

Justin never misses with a character and I cling onto every single one he makes so quickly and violently it’s getting embarrassing. I like the idea that she would still dress extremely fancy and posh even tho her new body should be in some battle ready armor. Also I made her blue since she is a Frankenstein’s monster and most likely wouldn’t have the blood flow to have a human color. Plus I love the monster high color palettes so I’m referencing a little bit. Justin has very cool coded characters to me, lots of blue and purple and forest greens.

Probably not sticking with this Dracula design but I want him to love a bit more silly and slick, I think having him be lanky and shorter will pair him very well against our rough and rowdy boys

still believe that one of the greatest bits of all time was on January 6th, 2021 when. well. you know. and twitter was understandably an echo chamber of panic and fear and Justin McElroy just tweeted a selfie with a filter that was like “have a delicious national spaghetti day” followed by 3 tweets that were like “fuck. i’m sorry. i don’t know how to delete scheduled posts” and as i type this two years later i’m laughing

[taz-metamals]

god a stoned real-time reaction to the wonka movie is more than I could’ve ever asked for for the first episode of twenty fungalore he heard your wish. we are so fucking back
