Hello TAZ nation

I come with a bunch of sketches, I have been relistening to TAZ Balance as one does every 2 years so I’ve been working on my designs so I can draw my pictures, so have some Merle, Magnus and Julia, and some kravitz, only a sliver of taako because he’s actually been the hardest to figure out so far

Image description: warm-toned digital art of Angus, Magnus, and Julia from The Adventure Zone.

Angus is a skinny human boy with dark brown skin and curly hair, while Magnus is a muscular human with light skin and short brown hair. Julia has a muscular build and light brown skin, with curly hair in a bun. They're all wearing casual clothes and shorts.

Magnus holds Angus in his arms and Angus holds onto Magnus's shoulders, asking: "Can we get ice cream?"

Julia, who stands next to them, doesn't look up from the map she's holding as she replies: "Not until after lunch," and Magnus tells Angus: "Julia says not until after lunch." End description.

None of those lines seemed to be about you or me.

“You keep saying it matters, but you never say why and I don’t know if you expect me to just trust you on this one or what, but Taako don’t play that way. Make me care about your paper.”

(Monologue taken from Chapter 10 of Bury the Lead by @marywhal: Fourth Estate)

I genuinely believe that Bury the Lead is my favourite TAZ fanfic, and it’s not in small part due to passages like these. Allison has somehow found the perfect way to marry the heart and humour of the original podcast (including the live show which inspired this story to begin with) with genuinely thought provoking commentary that’s applicable to our own world. There’s a multitude of perspectives and growth in dynamics, and the entire world of Neverwinter Highschool seems to breathe and grow and live in all the best ways a story should.

I’ve cosplayed from BTL before, but was waiting to cosplay Lucretia specifically before posting any photos to Tumblr. She’s such an integral character to Balance as a whole, not to mention how important she is to me in a more selfish sense.

If you’re itching to return to those TAZ Balance feelings, I cannot recommend Bury the Lead enough. I revisit it as a story just about every year, and recommend it to just about every fan I’ve gotten to talk to about TAZ.

Below are some more of my BTL specific cosplays! You can find me and my cosplays on TikTok , Instagram, and pretty much anywhere else on the internet using the name cinnominbubble!

This bit from The Adventure Zone: Balance has me thinking about Haymitch and Lenore Dove so much and I am fully weeping.
