“An Idiot” by PhemieC. Track art by the super talented moggettt!
~Spoilers for The Adventure Zone, Story and Song arc~
A new TAZ fansong, from Taako’s POV, set during Ep 67. It’s interesting how Taako’s entire arc (and early “simple idiot wizard” characterization) could be re-contextualized in light of The Stolen Century and the loss of the memory of his sister. Yeah... Ouch. Download at Soundcloud source. <3

I have lived a hundred lives and I have died a dozen times but the reaper hasn't caught me yet though his scythe is often at my neck
and I have learned a trick or two though I've forgotten quite a few and might have told a hundred lies twice as many half as true
Oh I have been an idiot missing some key ingredient and waiting as I fail to rise never guessing what it meant
I lived adrift on luck and looks 'till hungry hearts struck hard and took and made afraid of what I'd done my skills were nil, my friends were none
I could not trust my empty mind these stolen holes of space and time the faces, newly strange, I'd find none of them resembling mine
Oh I have been an idiot missing some key ingredient and waiting as I fail to rise never asking what it meant
I barely cared, and rarely tried to find some reason I should fight but in my hand and at my side you, my heart, my arm did guide
for I had been your long lost twin closer than a second skin and now I am alone again wiser than I've never been
Oh I have been an idiot missing some key ingredient but now I know how I will rise oh how on earth could I forget? knowing you has made me wise now I am not an idiot!
