I'm a gay guy who was in a bad relationship (idk if it was abuse, bc it was mostly online and mostly ok till things broke bad, but it was shitty all the same) and I am suspicious of taazed shippers BC often it's ppl who think that paranoia and abuse is somehow more interesting than like healthy canon relationships. Like, fuck, if you want the constant worry that they might show up and thinking what you could have done differently so things wouldn't break bad so much, here, take mine
(gay bad relationship anon) also the whole "it was taako's fault the entire time" thing? Reminds me a lot of what I went through and how me not doing something for my bf would make The Worst™ so yeah fuck those guys
i 100% understand, like? i feel the same way and like?? taako literally hasnt brought him up like everrr outside of what happened in the chalice, like, the thing is we got the last straw, we didnt get the rest of the story, it was said that taako repeatedly told sazed he wasnt comfortable with him cohosting and like, i feel if they were in a relationship, it wouldve been mentioned outside of sazed thinking highly of taako, and like... he tried to fucking kill taako, i dont buy for A Second that he was aiming for the audience, theres no way he couldve predicted that taako wouldnt taste test the food and people insisting that its unclear i just.. dont get like you dont.. you dont do that sazed was most likely an adult and yknow people do bad things in dnd of course, its dnd, but backstory is a whole nother thing, it isnt in-the-moment, its something you can sit down and think “yes i am absolutely certain this is what i want to happen” and i do not doubt that griffin intended it to come across as sazed trying to kill taako
of course some taazed shippers will come back with “but kravitz tried to kill taako too!!” theres.. a difference, kravitz is employed by a powerful goddess, from her and kravitzs point of view, taako did things (die several times) that went against the laws of nature and they had to fix that by killing him, which is in no way comparable to sazed trying to kill taako out of jealousy
