[a drawing of lup from the adventure zone. facing away from the viewer, she looks over her shoulder grimly, carrying the umbrastaff by her side. her red cloak flows behind her. she stands on a cliff edge, surrounded by dead grass, cast in smoky red light.]
back soon. ✉️
the thing that gets me about Balance. the thing that just makes me weep. is how we meet The Director, the Big Good, and then we meet the Red Robe, the Big Bad — and it would be so easy, of course, for that to be all there was to them. it would be even easier, easier in the sense of the plot twist being so obligatory, for the truth of the matter to be reversed — The Director is the secret villain, the Red Robe was good the whole time. but in the end, the truth we uncover is neither: they’re just both good.
their schism is real. the mistakes made by both sides are real. but they both have nothing but love for our heroes, love they’ve been waiting so long for a chance to show again. all they’ve ever done, either of them, is try to save the world as best they can, however they believe will make the fewest suffer. people are fundamentally good, and The Director and the Red Robe are Big Entities, but Lucretia and Barry are just people. and people are fundamentally good. I fucking love these characters and I fucking love this subversion and I fucking love TAZ Balance
i barely post on tumblr… have some of the boy :]
[id: the first image depicts a fullbody drawing of angus mcdonald form the adventure zone, who is wearing shorts and a blue vest top. there is also two small sketches of angus mcdonald, one of him laughing, and one of him scribbling in a notebook.
the second image is a sketch depicting taako and angus mcdonald. angus says “sir, why does mr kravitz call you babygirl” and taako replies “how about we stop talking for a little while.”, looking frustrated. end id.]
Before Bruno Madrigal I was already obsessed with a reclussed prophet, bringer of doom, and with glowing eyes.
Here is the full redrawn comic! I'll post the old version from 2018 in a reblog for very dramatic comparison
[ID: A 4-page comic rendered in a somewhat sketchy style. It is mostly in grayscale with red elements.
Page 1: The first panel shows a skeleton in a red robe with a red umbrella held in its hand. White text reads, "Let's go in the garden." The next panel, which is alongside the first, is nearly identical, except that a hand is now reaching out to grasp the umbrella handle. Text reads, "you'll find something waiting." Below is a horizontal panel showing Taako, a thin elf with dark skin, freckles, and lighter, wavy hair partially in a side braid. He wears a wizard hat with a glowing star hanging from the tip. He is holding up the umbrella and looking at it in surprise. Text reads, "right there, where you left it." Finally, in the fourth panel, Taako's expression has turned to confusion. Across from him is the white silhouette of another elf with long, blowing hair and a similar facial structure. Text reads, "lying upside-down."
Page 2: There are three horizontal panels in different shades of gray. The first shows Lucretia from the chest up, facing forward. She is a dark-skinned young woman with dark skin and short, textured white hair and wears a red robe. She smiles shyly as she holds a book to her chest. Her eyes are scratched out in black. White text reads, "when you finally find it." The second panel shows Lucretia as an older woman with a shaved head, dark robes, and a serious expression. She holds a light wooden staff with a glowing light at the top. Text reads, "you'll see how it's faded." Finally, the third panel shows black, full-body silhouettes of Magnus, Merle, Taako, and Lucretia in profile. The first three walk as a group as Lucretia hangs back. Text reads, "the underside is lighter when you turn it around."
Page 3: The page is divided vertically, with half being light gray and half being black. The gray side shows a gauntlet, a monocle, a bunched-up sash, crystals, a chalice, and a bell, all rendered in white. Black text reads, "Everything stays right where you left it." On the black side, rendered in white lineart, is a jellyfish with a galaxy-like swirl and stars inside its bell. White text reads, "Everything stays but it still changes."
Page 4: At the top of the page is a carved wooden duck among a large amount of white space, as if falling through it. The duck is partly painted red. Black text reads, "Ever so slightly, daily and nightly." At the bottom of the page are two panels with completely black backgrounds. In the first, there is a figure in a hooded red robe in profile. White text reads, "in little ways." In the second panel, the figure has turned toward the viewer, showing only white, glowing eyes where the face should be. The text reads, "everything stays." End ID.]
I haven’t posted on here in a while but here, a comic!!
The IPRE didn’t let just ANYONE on the starblaster. Nah. They had to be scientists!
[ID: Digital comic featuring Angus and Taako, seen as line drawings. First panel: Taako holds a mixing bowl and a whisk at a counter; he glances down at Angus, who is seen in profile. Angus holds a sheet of paper and says “Taako, can you try to help me with homework?” Second panel: Taako smiles and says “Oooh, Boy Wonder needs help with school? Sure, kid. What’re we talkin’? 4th grade math? 3rd grade?” Third panel: The viewer looks down at Angus. He holds up the paper and says “It’s statistical physics. Thermodynamics.“
Next panel: Taako rubs his arm; his eyes are wide and his brows are raised. Next: Taako’s brows are knit; he says “What’s the question?” Next panel: Angus holds up the paper, showing the problem to the viewer and Taako. “This one!” he says. “ The workspace has eraser marks. Next panel: Taako stares down at the paper and says “Hmm."
Next: He hands the paper back, brows raised, and says "The answer is -77 kJ.” Last panel: Taako turns back to the counter, waving a hand. Angus looks down at the paper and says “You…yeah. That’s right? How did you actually know that?” Taako says “I’m an astrophysicist, bubelah.” /ID]
Leon learns to regret ever letting him into his office Taako regrets nothing ever (based on that post which is probably buried in my likes and will never be found.)

see ya fantasy cowboys <3
[ID: Digital drawing of Taako, Magnus, and Merle, seen sitting around a campfire talking. Taako leans back on one hand and gestures with the other, smirking. Magnus, in the middle, rests his arms on his thighs. Merle raises a brow at Taako and grins. Behind them is a starry night sky and circular smoke; the stars spell out “Thank you for everything.” /ID]
headcanon: when barry first “met” taako in here there be gerblins, he had a little crush, but then when he died he realized why
A good character arc: going from “planning to die in heroic action” to “planning to die in bed, surrounded by their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”
god this tweet……
being a fan of a polarizing female character is hard because whenever you say “yeah i really like her–” someone cuts you off with “i have violent fantasies about killing her”
every time i see someone saying they ‘can’t’ ship w/w pairings bcos so many fictional women/relationships between women are underdeveloped I think about that time Sir Percival was introduced on Merlin, had 1 line of dialogue and Big Beefy Arms, and a Percival/Arthur shipping fandom sprang up overnight, and I just, sigh. :/
the witcher fandom has 2 popular m/m ships based on characters who have never actually interacted on screen but people can’t get invested in Yen/Triss bcos their relationship was underdeveloped which is like, OK.
me, watching people pick a random (usually white) guy that had one line of dialogue and pair him with the main (also usually white) guy while also saying that other forms of shipping are underdeveloped: sure….
ok it took the better part of two years but I did finally finish that moschicane fic where they bring boyd back from the dead
or at least, the bit where they kill the mimic...
thinking about going off the rails and becoming one of those people fixated on an undeveloped character to the point where their projections and headcanons have made them into an unrecognizable fully fleshed out entity
this is unironic btw i think these people are braver and more creative than any mainstream creator and they’re the backbone of every fandom
