lucretia: it is pride month, reclaimers. you know what that means

taako: what

taako: do you want us to reclaim, like. gay slurs

taako: what

[demoncatdoesart]

I mean takko is “kinda faggy”

ok guys whatever you do dont think about merle on the mushroom planet giving hope to a hopeless people he'll never see again just because he wants them to feel strong. and staying with them as the hunger descends and DO NOT think about them singing as a congregation while merle promises them that no matter what happens theres gonna be a future for them because thats what faith is about DONT THINK ABOUT IT. DONT THINK ABOUT how he brought music to these people and how theyre saved by the church he built them and he refuses to leave them alone inside even as hes pulled aboard the starblaster by the universe and DO NOT. IN ANY FUCKING WAY. THINK ABOUT HOW he did all this knowing in a year it could have been for nothing and he didnt care because he just wanted to bring them hope, and its only because he chose to bring them hope regardless that it was not for nothing. DONT THINK ABOUT IT

im relistening to taz balance and this might be old news but i haven't seen this brought up before

in the cave where they find the umbrastaff, clint is trying out character voices and does one as he says he's going to check out the staff, to which justin replies (as taako) "no, that won't do"

and then when lup is freed at the very end of the campaign, griffin narrates her thinking "no, that won't do" wrt merle getting the umbrastaff

i have no idea if this was intentional on griffin's part, but in either case, its such a wild bit of narrative through-line. each twin using the exact same phrase ("no, that won't do") at almost the same time about the same character

[demoncatdoesart]

Griffin is the master of accidental perfect foreshadowing and it never ceases to amaze me

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

barry bluejeans lich voice: actually the color red has more positive connotations than negative ones, it's called color theory and

[theadventurezoneoftruth]

The Blupjeans duet didn't even get accepted by the mountain in the GN... they don't even remember the music which they spent a year working on and which helped them get together... they did them so dirty 😔

[demoncatdoesart]

Between this and not including “are you my friend?” It just does NOT hit the same as the audio medium

realest comment on all youtube

[zombee]

merle highchurch is character of all time. chooses to be a priest like some people choose to be accountants but becomes his god's favorite anyway. fucks plants. absentee father who makes it right but knows the hurt will never go away. jealous of a ten year old. relentlessly pesters man who cuts his arm off to save his life simply because he swung the axe. doesn't hesitate to say no when he's offered a fix for that. plays chess with the embodiment of cosmic horror homicidal nihilism. chooses joy. chooses joy. CHOOSES JOY!!!!!

a while ago I read an omegaverse fic where part of the premise was that the guy had like, abnormally long and intense heats, which as you can imagine was used for horny reasons. but it was a fairly grounded omegaverse setting as far as it goes, and I could not stop thinking "he has pornworld endometriosis and needs to see an ΩBGYN"

pippin and merry: wow we sure have gotten tall from this awesome magic beer! this is great!

the sam and frodo subplot:

we are never going to be free until it literally doesnt matter whether a person is ugly or not

the amazing digital circus is a show about empathy and what it does to you if you go too long without a support system so the show starts with sympathizing with Pomni (the most empathetic person, easy), ep2 is empathizing with an NPC in a game (no flaws), ep3 is empathizing with a man who has dementia, ep4 is empathizing with someone who annoys you when they're unmasking, ep5 is asking you to empathize with a rich white woman and so on....

so it all works up to the empathy boss - a bush era edgelord millenial trans girl who thinks she's Max from Sam & Max and is inherently unworthy of love

and some people failed the empathy test

[deadsh33p]

Exactly the show is not asking you to forgive her the show is asking to empathize with her those are different things
