sorry
A few of TAZ Dust NPCS I love dearly: Michael, Isabella Slate, and Dylan Mathis
Sorry, there are two pictures left, I’ll post those next!!
This is for the @thecandlenightszone Candlenights exchange. It’s for @ace_o_hearts_ on instagram and @molly_hats on ao3. I have neither of those, so hopefully it still gets to you! Joyous Candlenights!
You asked for Dust content, so I made a short comic to the song “My Silver Lining” by the First Aid Kit. I thought the song went well with the arc, and wanted to use it for this. It’s basically about Errol and Dylan, and how their stories connect in a way. It took a while, but I did have a lot of fun creating it.
There’s a Travis cameo, btw...I’m hope it’s not hard to find!

Dylan Mathis is a tall, lanky teenager with stubble and bright eyes who carries a grief much greater than what should be expected of him.
It’s a grief that’ll swell within him and mix with tearful rejoice when Jeremiah Blackwell materializes in front of him to tell him, smiling through ghostly tears: ‘it’ll be alright, it’s okay’ and disappear suddenly from sight to be felt instead and kiss him softly on the brow.
It’s a grief that’ll beat whitin him as a slow, swollen heart for years and years; maybe it’ll never truly disseapear but he’ll pull through - young Dylan Mathis with his loyal heart and fierce depths - and it’ll subside and leave more space for fond remembering and quiet laughs
He’ll get to hold Anne close and see his own sorrow mirrored in hers, steady himself against her and hold her steady when the night gets darker. He’ll hold in a breath when she unknowingly echoes her late husband ‘it’s okay, you’re okay’
They’ll be right. Dylan Mathis will be okay. He’ll grow as find himself laughing without being left with a bitter taste on his tongue. He’ll forgive himself, fumbling and careful though nothing needs forgiving.
He’ll love again, fall in love again, and be scared to death at first before realizing there’s nothing to fear. He’ll thrive, even if it seems far off at first.
just relistened to Dust and had the most galaxy brain idea of all time
Dylan Mathis/Jake Coolice
Abigail: My son is a good boy.
Errol: Mhmm, sure.
Errol, like an episode later: Dylan is valid!
so, i have long held the belief that there are no cis/straight characters in the adventure zone. i decided that i wanted to compile some proof. if i put together everything that implies an lgbt character it would be like 3 hours long, so instead i put together everything that actually confirms it, either by directly stating or by giving a relationship with another character. put in chronological order bc that was the easiest way to figure out. here it is. enjoy.
transcript:
Griffin: I definitely fucked up in that like, the Bury Your Gays trope with the Ram and Raven, Hurley and Sloane, at the end of the Petals to the Metal arc. When I was writing it, I was like, “Oh it’s the first romance of the show, I’ll give it a tragic ending,” without knowing that there was this whole fucking, like, that’s how most gay and lesbian relationships in media end, is with tragic endings. Which I didn’t realize and so like, I’ve stepped in it a lot, in that regard.
Justin: In my mind, when I was doing the character and had Taako’s story in my head, Taako was a gay guy.
Johann: That’s like [Boyland’s] 400 kids and wives and husbands and stuff. That’s… god, that’s rough.
Griffin: I’m trying to stick with the they pronoun for Roswell, I keep fucking that up.
Griffin: One thing I want to make clear, we’re gonna learn a lot more about Lup in this session, and pretty much on through the rest of the campaign, but I wanted to say as long as we’re talking about your backstory that the two of you are twins, and that Lup was assigned male at birth, but at a fairly young age she transitioned and identified as a female elf, and as, you know, as Lup. Which I only mention because like, talking about your backstory and having a difficult childhood or whatever, I don’t really- it’s your call, but I don’t really want that backstory to be like, you had a traumatic childhood because of your identities, because I think that would be shitty, but rather just like, it’s a tough world. Justin: I feel it was more scrappy. I feel like it was more like, “well, we’re gonna look out for each other, and that’s it.” We’re on each other’s team, and we’re looking out for each other. I don’t think it had as much to do with our identities. So we’re clear, and so I’m clear not to misgender Lup, can we make the assumption that the things we are talking about probably took place after she transitioned, so if I’m referring to Lup, as she- Griffin: Yeah. Yeah, that is her pronoun.
Taako: You’re right, there has been a terrible loss that you should know about. Justin: And I drop the camouflage spell that I’ve been maintaining. Griffin (softly): Oh, God. Taako: I just wanted to be honest. I didn’t want to catfish you or anything. [laughing and clapping] This is Taako today. I had a bad run-in while I was saving the world, again, and this is what I really look like. I just wanted you to know that, in case it changes anything, for you, personally, I thought you should know, now. Kravitz [Griffin]: [He says,] Taako, I was crazy about you, before some weird light told me a story about your 100-year journey through existence, where you were fighting for a century to save the world. [He says,] I love you, Taako, and at this point I think everyone in reality is going to love you after hearing your story, and… nothing’s gonna change that.
Griffin: The day of Carey and Killian’s wedding was full of laughing, and dancing, and feasting, and loving.
Dylan Mathis: I loved Jeremiah Blackwell. And, he loved Anne. And when they got married, do you- Mr. Ryehouse, do you know- have you ever, in a moment, been the most happy and saddest you’ve ever been, in your whole life?
Griffin: This is a question from Katya, who says, “I have a very important question to Travis about Aubrey Little: Is she a lesbian?” Travis: So, I based Aubrey on four people, right? She’s named after Aubrey Plaza, and she is pierced and tattooed like my friends Verona, Tybee, and Kate. And so, all four of those people are bisexual. So it was just kind of in my head, it wasn’t really a decision I made but as I was picturing Aubrey, and basing her off those four people, she just was bisexual. So to answer your question Katya, she is bisexual, like all four of those people.
