This was shared as a "bad" joke but I was so charmed by it I've been thinking about it for days.

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.

A recurring thought I have had about TAZ Balance that I have been ass at trying to articulate, but that I feel like has something to it, is a way that yes, it's a story about the power of bonds and connectedness, it's about how love and bonds and reliance on others end up saving the world... and yet. You know what one of the most crucial lines in the finale is?

"Break the bonds, Merle."

It's what John tries to reveal about how to defeat the Hunger. It's the hint that Lucretia's barrier will have a use, a fundamentally necessary one. Because the Hunger, just as much as the heroes, is also empowered by bonds — but not healthy ones. The Hunger is made of literal billions of people all validating and encouraging each other's despair, all feeding into each other's belief that existence is agonizing. It's like a toxic, mutually destructive friendship on steroids. The Hunger is about how bonds aren't always a universally positive thing, how bonds aren't always a source of salvation. It's about some bonds needing to be severed for anyone involved to ever heal or thrive again. It contextualizes the final battle in Balance as being bonds at their best (Tres Horny Boys, backed by all their friends) versus the Hunger, the embodiment of bonds at their worst, and in the end, the thematic result is a story that depicts bonds and love and connection as a much more neutral force than I think a lot of people (formerly myself) have given it credit for! Which is not remotely incompatible with it being a story about love saving the world, a thing I love about Balance because of the variety of types of love depicted! But I just think the nuance is so underdiscussed and neat.

IT'S HERE! IT'S FINALLY HERE!! @mcelroyfamilystaff

The Adventure Zone: Story and Song Graphic Novel is out in bookstores everywhere today! I can't believe it!! I'm so excited for you to get to read it, and I can't wait to hear what you think.

When we started making these graphic novels, I thought we'd be lucky if we got to make any more than the very first one-- so to have actually been able to complete the entire Balance arc means the world. We would never have made it this far without all of the time and attention and care you've given TAZGN over the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration to get to be a part of! But all comics are ultimately a collaboration between the folks who make them and those who read them. We all put every last ounce of work, heart, and joy into these books that we possibly could, and I can only hope that that shines through. The rest is up to you!

PS: once you've read it, if you have a favorite page, panel, or background detail/interaction, please tell me!! i wanna hear about it!!

relistening to Taz and I'm really enjoying listening to each arc and relating it to the relevant bird.

like yeah here there be gerblins is about lup it's about you should have thought about that before throwing my dog in the fire, it's about falling in love with Barry Bluejeans, it's about trying to save so many people but failing, it's desperate odds and flying away from a disaster you couldn't avert, it's about being bitten in the back by an earlier decision to trust someone.

murder on the Rockport Limited is about Dav. It's about seeing the truth behind the illusion. it's about a town of people all with the same face. it's about losing the driver and trying to save the vehicle without him. it's about the youngest member of the crew holding a book that catches the truth and stops it reaching its destination. it's about beheading and loss of identity. It's about remembering to get your roommate pringles

petals to the metal is about Merle. It's about don't be chopping on these sweet sweet babies. it's about reaching out to someone you love who has been consumed by a power they can't fully control. it's about dying in the hope they can be saved. it's about racing as fast as you can, with all that you have, in the hope that something can be saved in the end.

crystal kingdom is about taako. it's about loving someone you've lost so much you'd turn the world to crystal to try and save them. it's about Kravitz. its about learning more from thousands of realities to make new and wonderful things. its about walking through your legacy. its about the best sandwich and taako's good out here. its about seven birds being seen, its about the thousands of lives that Boyland touched

the eleventh hour is about Magnus. It's about rustic hospitality. it's about recklessly breaking reality trying to protect people you love. it's about fate and choices you make in life. it is being a small town hero. it is making promises and keeping them. it's about the downfall of a corrupt leader and the people he took down on his way. it's about fallen temples and burnt out buildings. it's about embracing the inevitable and holding the hand of the clock that strikes your doom as the weapon that will save you

the suffering game is about Barry. It's about looping through endless pain again and again in the hopes of reaching a dream. it's about liches and death and love. it's about losing your body and being saved from permanent death by the power of your friends' love. it's about working out how things are working and then pulling them apart to understand them. it's about choosing to lose everything in the hopes that it might let you save something. arms outstretched. trust Barry, love Barry

the stolen century is about Lucretia. it's one hundred years of journals. It's learning world after world and watching them die. It's working to protect those you love by saving the light. It's about running away again and again, and loving only in goodbyes. it's about being alone and dying again and again. It's about bonds growing stronger even as something comes relentlessly to consume them

story and song is about the starblaster flying into, not away from the storm. it's about hear that babe, we're legends. it's about bringing together all the arcs and all the relics into one hope to undo mistakes. it's about the magic in a bardsong. it's about the light of creation being used as a barrier against darkness.

Bro absolutely COOKED with this.

If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.

It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.

It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.

This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.
