hey uh quick question what the fuck is going on on the mbmbam wiki

[blueskittlesart]

highlights from travis mcelroy’s wiki page, from the perspective of someone who knows next to nothing about mbmbam and only visited the site because i wanted to know how old he was:

“At some point at a young age, Travis died for five seconds and returned with a dark passenger which compels him towards murder. Then, for as long as he can remember, Travis has been played by Albert Brooks.” 

“His aesthetic is hard to describe, though many have tried. Part goth, part cowboy, part dad, whatever it is, he’s pulling it the fuck off.”

“In Episode 290 it is revealed he has killed and he will kill again, and that his soul is the respite of a dark passenger.”

“Travis can only eat stone, which he does once a year for 48 hours straight, not stopping. The stone provides him enough nutrition to last the year.”

a huge thanks to the mbmbam fandom for absolutely nothing

just in case anyone thought i had calmed down

I’m at the best scene in the entire campaign: the deal in Fantasy Costco. You know, THE deal. If Arms Outstretched is the most defining scene story-wise, the Fantasy Costco bit in LIIV would the most memorable comedic bit.

Merle says he’s still saving up for the Flaming Raging Poisoning Sword of Doom, setting up the entire scene. There is a moment where Griffin off-handedly mentions the Slicer of T'pire Weir Isles (pronounced like tupperware), which can be exchanged for someone’s most valuable item with a high enough persuasion roll.

Magnus takes a while deciding what he wants, giving everyone enough time to forget about both the Sword and the Slicer. Griffin brings out Garfield to get some more of Magnus’s… bodily materials, quietly setting up for the end of The Suffering Game, where he’d presumably die. Meanwhile, Justin has been silent this whole time, buying his time.

Then it’s Taako Time.

He keeps his poker voice while buying both the Slicer and – and Griffin himself brings up, which adds to the comedy of the scene as he fails to notice the trap he’s about to waltz into – Rickle Axage’s Pocket Guide to Adventuring, Third Edition, which gives the whoever reads it a temporary advantage on rolls of a single skill.

I can hear Justin keeping his voice deliberately monotone as he says Taako reads the guide for persuasion.

And then.

Taako: “I have one more transaction I need to conduct.

Garfield: “Okay.”

Taako: “Garfield.”

Garfield: “Yes?”

Taako: “I have something that I think is really gonna interest you.”

*beat*

Griffin McElroy, his very soul trembling with realization: “OH MY GOD.”

This scene cemented Taako as my favourite character in the campaign and TAZ as one of my favourite pieces of fictional media of all time. Nothing tops it. Justin is a genius.

ITS FINALLY DONE. Here is what I’ve been working on for the past few weeks! 

This is a tribute to my favorite podcast ever, TAZ. I recently got up to date with it, and I’m so glad I took the time to listen to it, because it’s one of the most wonderful, funny and utterly heartbreaking things I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. This was a learning experience for me, as I’ve never completed a project this big, or drawn this many characters before.
