sorry your boyfriend died and came back wrong. yeah, due to one of several invasive alien presences on this world, he only remembers fundamental building blocks of his life and character while dead. yeah, exactly, the act of resurrection is what causes him to be wrong. no see he's doing it himself. we've actually been trying to stop him for like a decade at this point

Every drawing I see of Barry bluejeans as a young thin man takes 1.5 years off my life I am so close to death

[anistarrose]

Barry Bluejeans is like if you asked some shady AI to generate a "normal man," and it tried so hard, and it got so close

[umbraastaff]

He's a perfectly normal man. Until you start looking too closely.

[keplercryptids]

[image description: a drawing of Lup and Taako from the chest up. They’re dark-complexioned twin elves. Lup’s hair is light pink and short. Taako’s hair is white and braided. They’re looking in the same direction. Lup has a confused expression on her face, and Taako’s arms are crossed and he’s smirking.]

coach burnsides

[anistarrose]

Image description: digital art of Magnus Burnsides from The Adventure Zone, seen from the shoulders up. He’s a human with brown hair, stubble, and freckled tan skin. He wears a red shirt with a “coach” nametag, a backwards red cap, and orange sunglasses, and he’s blowing a whistle with an intense expression. End description.

Back in THB business babey!!

Lies on the ground. You ever think about Taako’s “fully realized creation” speech in the context of him missing half his own memories. You ever think about how Lup WAS his go-to for honest emotional difficulty and conversation. My sweet my love my darling you are a cracked and pillaged creation missing one of your cornerstones.

also a young lucretia doodle

[keplercryptids]

[image: a doodle of Lucretia from the neck up, who has dark skin and glasses. She’s smiling with closed lips and looks very peaceful. Her white hair is long and in two cinched pigtails on either side of her face.]

Lup and Barry’s duet

I haven’t drawn them since 2018 so I’m really happy I was finally able to do this scene some justice!

hello im HERE and i wanna talk about TAAKITZ

[terezis]

a skeleton? getting seduced by an extraplanar alien in a pointy hat? it’s more likely than u think

[terezis]

actually what i want to talk about is how taako is an alien. he’s an elf but he’s also an alien. yeah. he’s not like the other sun elves on this plane… his teeth are sharper. his eyes do that thing cats’ do when you happen across one in the dark. that’s not normal. he can echolocate. that’s not normal! that’s canon, babey. 

taako echolocates to find something in the quad one day and avi’s like “what the fuck” but this seems very ordinary and mundane to magnus and merle. yeah, they say. all elves can do that, right? avi’s just like what??? n. no???

[terezis]

taako just stands up and screams. oh, tight, there’s his magazine.

across the quad, lucretia, suddenly realizing that elves here do not echolocate, whispers “fuck" very quietly to herself. forgot to put that one in ya books, huh, luce.

[terezis]

the tags on this post are always hilarious, but. gotta say? the idea that kravitz is so old that he thought he blinked and missed the evolution of an entire species is so fucking funny, holy shit

[anistarrose]

to me, the most fascinating (and utterly unintentional) feature of TAZ Balance's narrative structure is the way that on the first listen, Tres Horny Boys are the audience surrogates because they, much like us, have no idea what the fuck is going on, but on all subsequent relistens, then Lucretia, and sometimes Barry, and arguably especially Lup in the umbrella become the new audience stand-ins, because just like us, they are, in fact, painfully aware of what the fuck is going on :)
