the fact that The Suffering Game starts with Magnus breaking into moon jail to learn that Pringles got possessed by a lich, then reaches its emotional climax six episodes later when Magnus is possessed by another lich who serves as a direct character foil to the former one, is a parallel that would be so clever and deliberate in any other piece of media, but. because it happened in The Adventure Zone, the action of "breaking into moon jail to talk to Pringles" was. in fact. literally, and quite clearly, the last thing that Griffin had ever been expecting Travis to kick off the arc with

hey everyone! it's been a while, huh? I got to animate one of the last shots for the Tazanimated project from a few years back!

it was TONS of fun revisiting old favs <3

compared to the first shot I did all the way back in 2017, I've learned a lot since then, so I'm happy I was able to do this!

you can watch the entire project here:

joy is found in the explosive laughter that occurs seconds after Justin McElroy processes the Absolute Bullshit that just came out of one of his brothers’ mouths

and then, while still laughing, he says something like “you dumb motherfucker” and then keeps laughing

Hi! i remade an old post of mine complaining about mischaracterization and other harmful things in the taz graphic novel into a doc! it mostly focuses on taako’s whole deal in it bc i feel like he got the worst end of the stick, but i’ll be adding and changing to this as more books come out! i’d appreciate if you’d read it and support those who also speak out against how just shitty the graphic novel is, thank you!!

The Taako Problem in the Graphic Novels

Preface I’m making this doc because I want to start pointing out weird mischaracterization and mishaps in the taz graphic novels. If anyone

Hey, McElroys, are you fucking tools or are you gonna own up to this? How much do you need to fuck up and hurt people before we decide you can't be trusted?

Oh, and how much more are you gonna HAND your fans over to untrustworthy companies? Loanshark companies and $100 to fan artists for work that appears in your bestseller books? Really?

"But they made it up to the fan artists--" Yeah, maybe they shouldn't have had to be TOLD by OUTSIDE SOURCES what had happened. Maybe, idk, they should have been more involved from the start.

They did post a link and credit with a tag to the designer on twitter, and said that they properly credited and linked in the actual episodes where they're playing it, they just forgot in TTAZZ today. Definitely should have talked about the creator and how to get it in the episode, no question, but it’s not true that they didn’t put it anywhere.

Check the time stamps, the TheZoneCast twitter didn't post about it until an HOUR after Lara's tweet (hers was at 11:05 AM EDT, theirs at 12:16 PM EDT). Can't blame her for not seeing into the future.

More to the point, they should've made it blatantly clear from the jump. At this point the podcast isn't some mom-and-pop thing, it's a straight up, employee-having business. They called it an "oversight", which might be fair if this was their first rodeo. It's not their first rodeo, and with the ongoing pile of issues they've created and then steadfastly ignored or made weak apologies for, it's forming a pattern.

GOD THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM LOOKS SO JARRING SIDE BY SIDE...

they look like theyre not even supposed to be in the same media.. imagine how much better this would be if taako looked like an actual person instead of a caricature 🤔🤔

what gets me about “kiss my ass you sanctimonious bastard” is that a lot of fanon has portrayed it as this grand moment with like, merle yelling it heroically. but to me it was a resignation. it was merle giving up on a guy he hoped he could reach. it’s a moment of “yeah well. i was hoping this could work out. i’d hoped we could be friends. but there’s nothing i can do here bc you’re choosing to be an asshole and refuse to come out of your own black hole of negativity that you built yourself here.” it’s a moment of acknowledging that this person you wanted to help is bringing you both down with their wilfully toxic behavior and though it’s a pity, you have to cut your losses and get out of that fucked-up one-sided friendship. and that’s way more poignant to me than yet another heroic yelling moment
