[keplercryptids]

[image description: several drawings of TAZ characters, as follows. Taako is a skinny dark-complexioned elf with a long blonde braid over one shoulder that falls past his waist. He’s standing in front of an orange background, wearing red-framed sunglasses, a baggy white T-shirt with the Pepsi logo on the front, bright orange athletic pants and strappy black heels. He’s tilting his sunglasses with his other hand in his pocket, grinning at something out of frame. Merle is a light-skinned dwarf with short gray hair and a long curly beard segmented into two ponytails. He’s standing in front of a light blue background. One of his arms is made of wood, and he’s wearing a backwards baseball cap, blue button-down shirt with the first few buttons undone, shorts with one blue leg and one orange leg, glasses and brown sandals. He’s looking off to the side with a smile.

Magnus is a muscular human with light brown skin, auburn hair pulled into a bun and bushy sideburns. He’s standing in front of a yellow background, wearing a light blue tank with tropical flowers on the front, dark blue swim trunks, and turquoise flipflops. He’s smiling and waving with a large beach ball under one arm. Lup is drawn twice. She’s a thin dark-complexioned elf with wavy, dark brown hair that’s shaved on the side and falls past her shoulder. First she’s standing in front of a purple background, wearing a hooded red robe, pink-framed sunglasses, a short black dress with a plunging neckline and pink strappy heels. She’s looking off to the side with a neutral expression. Next she’s standing in front of a green background, wearing a sheer black blouse over a black bra, white pants with vertical black pinstripes, black pumps and sunglasses atop her head. Her hand is posed as if she’s been examining her fingernails and she’s looking at the viewer with one corner of her mouth upturned.]

me watching monsters inc as a kid: how did it take so long for anyone to figure out that human child laughter not only produced energy like screams, but was more effective, and that children aren’t actually dangerous at all?

me watching monsters inc now: monsters incorporated, a multi-billion dollar corporate giant, stood to make extra profits off a scream shortage because low supply with high demand makes it possible to charge a fortune for a necessary commodity and everyone has no choice but to pay the high prices because they can’t go without electricity. Therefore Monsters Inc, as well as any other major powers that may have existed at the start of the era of using scream energy, fabricated the idea that only screams could generate sustainable energy sources in order to create artificial scarcity, because laugh energy was far easier to obtain and far more efficient, and therefore stood to lower the value of energy due to surplus. They also fabricated the idea that human children were toxic, in order to a) make other monsters too afraid to go near them to do research and possibly discover the secret of laugh energy, and b) to make monsters so afraid of going near them that there is a shortage of scarers, making it harder for rival companies to rise up and create competition. Even in the monster world, capitalism is based on lies, greed and cruelty, and even monster companies have no qualms about using and abusing children to maximize profits.

taz doodles from ig!!!

Kept from our children, lovers, friends

Subject to laws we did not make

This is where separation ends

And souls of the lost will come awake

Enter this Crystal Kingdom

[ID: A poster for the Crystal Kingdom arc drawin in a cartoonish style. Pink crystals grow from the bottom of the image. In the center of the poster is a plain gray stone that is glowing slightly, and a hand enveloped in pink crystal is reaching towards it. In the background, a large piece of pink crystal hangs from the top of the image, inside the crystal is the silhouette of a woman with glowing electric blue eyes. Black tentacles also curl in the background. END ID]

broke: taako and lup explaining memes to a confused merle

woke: merle explaining memes to a confused, and horrified, John Hunger

[interpretivejazz]

ascendant: taako and lup explaining memes to merle, who then based on his understanding explains them to john, the information getting progressively less accurate along the line

Sometimes I think about the fact that Merle tried his hardest to save John and he couldn’t. That John spent his last lucid moments embracing his only friend in all of existence.

Magnus’s house is filled with dozens of bookshelves filled with knick knacks. Each shelf is dedicated to a different person. Merle’s is so full of useless shit he’s got three shelves spread over different bookcases. Carey’s is a timeline of ducks she’s made Magnus for Candlenights, slowly but surely getting better as time goes on. Johann’s holds only his Candlenights mixtape. It helps Magnus, who’s lost so much, to see everything his relationships have given him, physical and not, on display.

Barry and Lup have such an influence on how Kravitz handles bounties cause I just relistened to Crystal kingdom and Kravitz just snuck around trying to fuck over THB and it was like five episodes before he even talked to them and like eight episodes before he told them what his job was.

Hard cut to the san fran live show where they appear in a massive cloud of ravens, skeletal face and booming voice, declaring the will of the raven queen, with i imagine Barry and Lup posing like jessie and james behind him. Much faster and more to the point I’d say.

[asimovsideburns]

The Raven Queen: Kravitz it’s time for your quarterly review. In addition to pardoning three bounties, you’ve also been spending a lot of time, and I quote, “just generally fucking with people” instead of getting to the point and reaping them.

Kravitz: who are you quoting?

Lup, behind the Raven Queen: *waves*

The Raven Queen: from now on, the new policy is that you have to let people know who you are and why you’re killing them, and then get on with it

Lup, silently mouthing: it was supposed to be a compliment

The Raven Queen: however, as a compromise, I’ve given you the power to travel via a giant unkindness of ravens, to suitably intimidate necromancers while maintaining the “aesthetic”

Lup: *gives Kravitz a double thumbs up and a huge grin*

[image description: a drawing of Taako, standing and resting his elbows on the handle of his umbrastaff as its standing upright on the ground, in front of a yellow background. Taako is a skinny dark-complexioned elf with voluminous hair that is gathered into a low ponytail past his waist, is blonde on top and light green at the ends. He has very tall rounded ears and a long, tufted tail dyed the same way his hair is. He’s wearing an oversized blue wizard hat and matching cape, loose-fitting long sleeved purple top, dark denim shorts, and thigh-high white boots. He’s looking to one side with a neutral expression and a large speech bubble next to him says “Taako!”]

Taako possessing the Wonderland mannequins and making them attack their creators was a TASTY POWER MOVE
