I apologize if my voice sounds bad i hate using the mic oh my god

Franchise: “The Adventure Zone” - The McElroy Family Music: “The Ancient Magus Bride Main Theme” - Junichi Matsumoto Poem: “Do Not Stand at my Grave and Weep” - Mary Elizabeth Frye

And Big Mega inspiration from this beautiful comic by @kaylabarart

It’s done! I’m done! I first heard this music about two years ago and thought it would pair great with the featured poem, but it was only after getting into the Adventure zone did I have a clear idea for an animatic. My goal for this project was to be a short, simple thing do be done in a week with 80 frames. I ended up making over 170. Which is great, but also exhausting! have at thee!

Been working on this for WAY too long considering what a simple piece it is...but I'm finally finished!

Some sad TAZ for you all

*on a date*

babe….when im with you……shrimp heaven really *is* now……

[hcourageous]

yes yes yes the “not all exits are made equal” speech and the “seven birds speech” but lets take a moment to appreciate “there’s inspiration in a bard’s song”

and high above we see the starblaster streaking through the sky, up and away from the moon base, for the first time flying into–not away from–the storm

and as its occupants brace themselves for the final battle ahead, they are surrounded by the void fish’s light, and their hearts are stirred by the familiar music they suddenly hear

see there is magic in a bard’s song, they call it inspiration and it tells the listener what they need to hear right when they need to hear it

and right now you hear it too, the message in the music heard round the world you hear johann’s voice telling

you’re going to have to fight and

you’re gonna win

barry: taako please

taako: barold, youre the most powerful necromancer in this entire plane of existence, youre dating the hottest and raddest lady in all of everything ever, youre effectively immortal in multiple ways, you play a baller piano, you speak more languages than fantasy duolingo, youve saved multiple universes and outrun the personification of nothingness and despair, youve invented about thirty new spells in the last few years alone, and fifteen cycles ago you twisted your very soul into a magical bonfire of love and pure arcane energy, and youre telling cha'boy you cant order chicken nuggets at a fantasy mcdonalds from an angsty teen cashier

barry: taako its scary

[dent-de-leon]

this is so incredibly sweet i love this little bit of introspective Taako being soft for his team,, this is such blessed content,,

one of my favorite d&d podcasts is doing a one-shot based on the friday the 13th movies. except the DM hasn’t told any of the players that it’s based on friday the 13th. he has them convinced it’s based on a sex-comedy coming-of-age film they’ve never heard of (that he made up). which is so fucking genius. because the characters in a slasher flick don’t know they’re in a slasher flick, why should the players? if you’re going for genre accuracy, make your players think they’re acting out animal house or something, or else they’ll end up weirdly genre savvy. it’s perfect. 

and like, throughout the whole session, to keep the players convinced that the fake not-horror movie is real, the DM keeps mentioning weird, specific details about the fake movie, like, “oh yeah, didn’t i mention? your character is played by crispin glover before he was famous” or “so in the actual movie, you got lost and had a nice scene in an orchard, but so-and-so succeeded on his navigation roll”

and this has the players lulled into a false sense of security for the most part. but over the course of the game they get more and more suspicious of all the weird, doom-harbinging horror-movie details the DM keeps sprinkling in. every once in a while a player will be like, “okay so these identical hitchhiking twins are hot, right? wait, why are they speaking in unison” 

it’s so genius. the DM introduces a small child who creates and collects ultra-realistic, cinema-quality latex monster masks, and none of the players even bat an eye. they don’t clock this creepy horror movie child at all. they’re too busy trying to hit on his older sister, just like their characters would be. 

at one point one of the players gets weirdly, genuinely angry, and is like, “WHY DO I CARE??? so this old couple is talking about a tragedy at the local hospital, SO WHAT????? aren’t i just supposed to want to get laid right now?! why did you put this in the story, man?!?! was this couple even in the original movie? i don’t know, because you won’t let us look it up on IMDB, even! what is going on?!” and i know it’s an auditory medium, but fuck, i could SMELL the shit-eating grin the DM must’ve had on. that’s so fucking awesome

[onwardmotley]

#the DM even gave them homebrewed game mechanics based on love and sex so that they’d be distracted by their characters’ personal goals#which is so perfect for a slasher game. why else would your players be distracted by a trashy sex scene #theyre TRYING TO WIN. and to win. they have to have sex with so-and-so #and it keeps them distracted the whole time before the reveal bc a lot of their actions towards each other affect their relationship stats #it’s just. so fuckin funny. i had to pause the podcast multiple times to shout ‘YOU FUCKING LIAR’ at the ceiling. it was so funny #The Film Reroll is the name of the show btw if u wanna check it out or w/e

i’ve had this going through my head for a week and i had to physically get it out of myself to make it stop

[thosegoodboys]

[Audio description: part of the song “U Can’t Touch This” by Mc Hammer, except instead of the words “can’t touch this” it plays Griffin and Justin saying “come fuck this” from their spore playthrough. It syncs up perfectly.]

[blueskittlesart]

hey uh quick question what the fuck is going on on the mbmbam wiki

[blueskittlesart]

highlights from travis mcelroy’s wiki page, from the perspective of someone who knows next to nothing about mbmbam and only visited the site because i wanted to know how old he was:

“At some point at a young age, Travis died for five seconds and returned with a dark passenger which compels him towards murder. Then, for as long as he can remember, Travis has been played by Albert Brooks.” 

“His aesthetic is hard to describe, though many have tried. Part goth, part cowboy, part dad, whatever it is, he’s pulling it the fuck off.”

“In Episode 290 it is revealed he has killed and he will kill again, and that his soul is the respite of a dark passenger.”

“Travis can only eat stone, which he does once a year for 48 hours straight, not stopping. The stone provides him enough nutrition to last the year.”

the amount of brotherly contempt in “the same blastoise” is very relatable 

[wariowaretrans]

PLEASE listen to this

[wariowaretrans]

I have never understood the phrase “dripping with malice” until I heard griffin say “the same blastoise”

[fair-and-claire]

I know I’ve reblogged this before but if you haven’t heard it, *please* listen to it. This is one of my favorite MBMBAM clips and I reference it on the regular

[erinye]
