[image description: a two-panel comic, starting with Taako and Lup, skinny twin elves with light brown skin and long blond hair. Lup’s hair is hanging loose and Taako’s is braided over one shoulder. Lup is pulling on a pastel green sweater with a large “L” on it, and Taako is wearing a peach-colored sweater with a large “T” on it. In the second frame, Barry appears. He’s a chubby pale-complexioned human with short brown hair and glasses. He’s wearing a peach-colored sweater with a “B” on it and eating a BLT sub. Lup has her arm around Taako’s shoulders and they’re smiling at Barry. In order, their sweaters spell out “BLT.”]
relistening to Taz and I'm really enjoying listening to each arc and relating it to the relevant bird.
like yeah here there be gerblins is about lup it's about you should have thought about that before throwing my dog in the fire, it's about falling in love with Barry Bluejeans, it's about trying to save so many people but failing, it's desperate odds and flying away from a disaster you couldn't avert, it's about being bitten in the back by an earlier decision to trust someone.
murder on the Rockport Limited is about Dav. It's about seeing the truth behind the illusion. it's about a town of people all with the same face. it's about losing the driver and trying to save the vehicle without him. it's about the youngest member of the crew holding a book that catches the truth and stops it reaching its destination. it's about beheading and loss of identity. It's about remembering to get your roommate pringles
petals to the metal is about Merle. It's about don't be chopping on these sweet sweet babies. it's about reaching out to someone you love who has been consumed by a power they can't fully control. it's about dying in the hope they can be saved. it's about racing as fast as you can, with all that you have, in the hope that something can be saved in the end.
crystal kingdom is about taako. it's about loving someone you've lost so much you'd turn the world to crystal to try and save them. it's about Kravitz. its about learning more from thousands of realities to make new and wonderful things. its about walking through your legacy. its about the best sandwich and taako's good out here. its about seven birds being seen, its about the thousands of lives that Boyland touched
the eleventh hour is about Magnus. It's about rustic hospitality. it's about recklessly breaking reality trying to protect people you love. it's about fate and choices you make in life. it is being a small town hero. it is making promises and keeping them. it's about the downfall of a corrupt leader and the people he took down on his way. it's about fallen temples and burnt out buildings. it's about embracing the inevitable and holding the hand of the clock that strikes your doom as the weapon that will save you
the suffering game is about Barry. It's about looping through endless pain again and again in the hopes of reaching a dream. it's about liches and death and love. it's about losing your body and being saved from permanent death by the power of your friends' love. it's about working out how things are working and then pulling them apart to understand them. it's about choosing to lose everything in the hopes that it might let you save something. arms outstretched. trust Barry, love Barry
the stolen century is about Lucretia. it's one hundred years of journals. It's learning world after world and watching them die. It's working to protect those you love by saving the light. It's about running away again and again, and loving only in goodbyes. it's about being alone and dying again and again. It's about bonds growing stronger even as something comes relentlessly to consume them
story and song is about the starblaster flying into, not away from the storm. it's about hear that babe, we're legends. it's about bringing together all the arcs and all the relics into one hope to undo mistakes. it's about the magic in a bardsong. it's about the light of creation being used as a barrier against darkness.
the problem with taz balance is you first listen to it as a naive high schooler like "oh, funny dnd podcast made by those mcelroy guys i see in tumblr memes all the time! and they apparently have gay characters too! let me check this out! haha his name is taco that's so random XD" and nobody could have warned you that a decade later you'll still periodically think about lucretia and her martyr complex and be stricken with the urge to start gnawing your own limbs off
I got inspired by my love for Lucretia and spent today struggling with my terrible microphone and trying to cover Lucretia (Reprise) on my ukulele!
Hey I actually drew something from the new ep for once
[image description: a drawing of Taako surfing atop a black surfboard covered in a bright orange flame pattern. Taako is a fat elf with dark brown skin, lots of golden freckles, and shoulder length blond hair tied in a low ponytail. He’s wearing a green tank top and red shorts. He has a serene smile on his face, and the sky is orange behind him.]
[ID: first image is a digital drawing of Lucretia sitting in a candle lit room. Lucretia is an older human woman with dark skin and short white hair, wearing white leggings, grey socks, and a light blue sweater with a menorah on it. She is sitting curled on a brown loveseat and smiling peacefully down at the open book in her lap. Behind her are shelves filled with numerous books, glowing candles, and other knick knacks including duck shaped bookends, a small statue shaped like the bureau of balance logo, and a small potted plant. More candles are arranged on the end tables on either side of the loveseat, and on one of the tables are a few pieces of chocolate gelt and an empty wrapper. In front of the couch is a coffee table with a stack of books and a steaming mug (no coaster, for shame). second image is a close up of the first. End ID.]
@taz-channukah-event night 1: flames/light
Lucretia taking some time to relax :)
not enough hurt/comfort fanworks about kravitz and lup bonding over the trauma of being trapped in dark places and terribly alone and cut off from the bonds with the forces that sustain their undeath
kravitz thinks he's gone through nothing like lup's experience (even though learning what happened to her makes his own chest hurt in a way that's far more personal than he expected) because he's certainly never been trapped for so long, he has no right to be traumatized, but on the other hand, as soon as lup learns what happened to kravitz when the hunger attacked, she decides the two of them are bonded for life (she does not say this explicitly to kravitz so he just notices her getting almost as cuddly with him as she does with taako and he doesn't complain but he's just like ???)
KEEPING IT GOING!!!!! @LUCRETIAWEEK DAY 5!!!!!!
Thursday, Feb. 28th - forgotten/bonds
Get it? Because it’s cat’s cradle and you stick your hand in it and you get trapped there? but if you do it a second time you can get your hand out without moving it? And it’s shaped like the Bureau of Balance symb–
Spiritual successor to my piece from day 2.
[Image ID: A picture of Lucretia from the Adventure Zone. She is a dark skinned woman with short, curly white hair, facing the viewer dead on. She has her arms outstretched in front of her with the cat’s cradle children’s game looped between her fingers. The strands of yarn that make up the Bureau of Balance symbol are illuminated. End ID.]
[ID from alt: screenshot from The Sims with the name of the Sim edited to Lup, so it reads: "Chased by Death: This trait is a Turn-On for Lup," and "Lactose Intolerant: This trait is a Turn-On for Lup." End ID.]
Garfield the deals warlock: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “voidfish ichor” 😳💊 you’ll be knowing what they don’t want you to know 💯👨💻
Tres horny boys: yeah whatever. i don’t feel shit.
5 minutes later: dude we gotta stop the hunger from eating the universe
The red robe hovering ominously in the corner: Lucretia is lying to you
I have an idea for replacing airplanes. we should built a giant cannon in each major city and load people 20 or 30 at a time into big bullets about the size of a bus then fire them in the general direction of their destination. the bullet can have a big parachute to help it land safely. the advantage of this is that there is no jet fuel required! the disadvantage is almost everything else
“here there be gerblins” is like what if you couldn’t save everyone. “petals to the metal” is like what if the love was there and it couldn’t save everyone but the love was still there. “crystal kingdom” is like what if the love was there and it couldn’t save everyone and it actually made things worse but the love was there. “the eleventh hour” is like what if love started all of this but you couldn’t save everyone (you couldn’t save everyone (you couldn’t save everyone (you couldn’t save everyone (you couldn’t save everyone (you could save everyone))))). “stolen century” is like what if you could try again (what if there was love) (what if you could try again).

[image description: an illustration of Lucretia, in the style of a tarot card. She has dark brown skin and short white hair, and is wearing long blue robes. She’s standing in front of a pile of dozens of books, and she’s holding a white staff in one hand and an open book in the other. There’s a sun directly behind her head. Her eyes are closed and she looks serene. A banner underneath her reads “The High Priestess.”]
[ID: Redrawing of Michaelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam. But Adam has been replaced with a marblesque depiction of low res merle—with a tree arm to cover his privates. The figure of God and his host have been replaced with John Hunger, surrounded by a dark cloud and a swarm of colorful eyes. John reaches out to Merle with one flesh colored hand, while his other arm is progressively over takened by bright colors. End ID]

SO THIS WASN’T A FEVER DREAM
be me. 4 years after drawing this and sitting upright in bed trying to remember if i actually painted merle highchurch adventurezene as a renaissance adam because a flash of the memory struck through my brain and i momentarily couldn’t believe it
Okay fuck it, even if I don't finish it anytime soon or ever, I have 40 chapters of this fic that have been waiting to see the light of day for years and you know what, they're good, so I'm going to share them. Get ready, it's time to find Another Way
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Summary: At the last second, Lucretia doesn't go through with dropping her journals into Fisher's tank. The rest of the crew, their memories intact, agree to erase the Relic Wars from the consciousness of the people of Faerun to buy them some time while they figure out another way, a better way, to defeat the Hunger once and for all.
