So the Ethersea flying Homineim and cloud whales are a reference to Ezekiel’s vision of the chariot, right?

Because glowing bodies surrounded by four creatures, each with four wings that connect them and one limb coming out if the bottom seems really specific.

So I love the “Rainer is the daughter of Barry and Lup” theory

But I feel like maybe Taako and Kravitz make more sense? Because I feel like Barry wouldn’t be the lucha king, Lup would be the lych queen.

Meanwhile, Taako totally would call Kravitz that just to tease him, and Ranier would join in.

Admiral Kraken

[Id: Bust up drawing of Argo Keene, a blue skinned water genasi as an older man.  He has a large beard and hair, and he is wearing a black pirate’s hat. He has a scar over his green and yellow eye. He is wearing a grey jacket with blue tentacle embroidery. There is a black speech bubble with red text that says: “Sink them . ]

So you know how the big bad (we think) is named Gray? And seems to be made of stone?

And all over the school there are little stone guys named Gary?

Is that a thing or am I reading into it? Because Gray and Gary are very similar names.

all I’m saying is that Travis has already foreshadowed a lot with his narration in the first episode (for example, “do not be fooled by appearances” hinting at a number of NPCs with secrets). and at the end of that episode, he mentioned “an older brother” and “a younger brother” without giving us any names whatsoever:

A younger brother furiously scribbles notes in the margins of old tomes while muttering under his breath. An older brother stares into a fire, his eyes expressionless and cold.

he could’ve said something like “the older/younger brother,” implying a singular older brother and singular younger brother. but “an older brother” leaves a convenient, if not downright suspicious, amount of wiggle room…

convenient and suspicious like how the Graduation logo has three banners with Latin representing (roughly) “heroes,” “villains,” and “the rest,” and we already know two Wiggenstaff brothers who are a hero and a sidekick…

we can assume that the yet-unnamed impostor Hieronymous has put on a highly convincing act, right? the type of act that only someone who personally knew the real Hiero for years, and was therefore familiar with all his quirks and mannerisms, could potentially pull off?

and the only plot twist more on-brand for Travis McElroy than “this NPC just really loves his brother who is also a dog” would surely be “these two brother NPCs actually have a secret middle brother,” am I right?

So this is Fitzroy Maplecourt, right?

okay so as many great posts as there about kravitz being annoyed/exhausted by lup and barry’s antics as reapers, i think we’re all forgetting something - kravitz, mr. “uses fake accents to sound more intimidating” and “shows up to reap souls as a crystal golem because apparently using his normal reaper form is just too boring,” is JUST as flashy.

so imagine this: barry is the chill, more reserved reaper. the one who responds to low-level offenses, or if somebody just needs a helping hand in crossing over. meanwhile lup and krav are the ones who respond to high-level necromancers, scythes out, hoods up, guns blazing like “SUP LICHES, WANNA FUCKING PLAY??”

[thevoidfish]

Imagine Lup and Kravitz trying to outdo each other while Barry stands stone faced in the background, long since given up trying to stop them

[burnsides-magnum]

and all the liches they encounter start to fear barry the most, he just sits in the background. They say he’s only used if something REALLY fucked up happens, or to capture a really strong Lich.

Lup and Kravitz are furious, they put all this effort and BAROLD is the one they’re afraid of?!??

i think true mcelroy fan experience is consuming one piece of mcelroy content to distract yourself from how sad consuming another piece of mcelroy content made you

[atazblr]

I’m currently listening to sawbones because I’m relistening to Balance and am at The Suffering Game which seems to real now.

So fair.

[atazblr]

Do you think that the whole everyone-is-stuck-at-home-and-depressed thing is drastic enough that Griffin might finally reveal why Garfield the Deals Warlock was Building His Own Magnus?

Because, like, I think that would help people feel less terrible about the state of the world?

[atazblr]

Do you ever think about how in TAZ Balance, Justin’s character kisses an NPC, and in TAZ Amnesty Travis’s character kisses an NPC

So you might think that leaves Clint out. But MBMBaM does end with “kiss your dad square on the lips.”

[atazblr]

My new headcannon listening to Petals to the Metal again (because quarantine), based on Clints desire to have “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” in the background as the Tres Horny Boys change into their Hammerhead gear:

As the Tres horny Boys are changing, Merle is definitely singing and dancing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. But he cast silence right before that, so there isn’t any sound, just Merle joyously dancing around, making the sleeping Hammerheads sing with him, et cetera. To him, it’s a full music video, but no one can hear anything.

Mods are asleep, post Fitzrain

[ID: Two drawings of Sir Fitzroy Maplecourt, a half elf man with brown skin and auburn hair, and Rainier Michelle, a human woman with tan skin and long platinum blonde hair. In the first image, Fitzroy is leaning forward to receive a kiss on the cheek from Rainier. She is wearing a long black dress with a sparkly sheer top, and a black, wide brimmed hat with a large lavender flower. Sir fitzroy is wearing burgundy and umber period clothing, reminiscent of the 1600th century. In the second image, Fitzroy is leaning forward to kiss Rainer’s hand. Rainier wears a black gown with a deep v neck and puffy sleeves, and a black witch hat with red flowers. Sir Fitzroy wears a black, caped outfit, which is accented with maroon and burgundy. End ID]

When you gotta update your Brand™ so you enlist your friend’s help

[ID: Sir Fitzroy is a half elven man with tan skin, and short auburn hair, and a slight beard. He wears a bright red, double breasted jacket with gold and burgundy accents. He is talking to Rainier, a human woman with tan skin and long blonde hair. She is wearing a purple and black dress with puffy, striped sleeves, and a large black sunhat with a lavender ribbon. She is seated in a burgundy, levitating chair. He rubs the back of his neck as he says to her, “So…I’m a villain now. Very much not the IDEAL situation, but I am resolved to make the best of it.” Rainer puts up and hand and says “Stop. Say no more.” She then smiles and puts up two fingers guns, while saying, “I know just what you need.”

In the next image, Rainer is showing announcing “Ta Da!” while holding her hands towards Sir Fitzroy, who stands confidently in attire that is from head to toe, quite villainous. It is completely black and grey, and rather ornamental. The sleeves are puffy and slit, there is a cape with fur trimming, and the trousers are tied at the knee with bows. In the third image, we see the firblog, a firbolg, Argo Keene, a water genasi man, and Snippers, a pink magical crab, all seated in folding chairs and clapping their hands excitedly. In snipper’s case, he is snapping his claws.
