saw Barbie today and I’m glad to report that based on his performance as (and dedication to the role of) Ken, Ryan Gosling would be more than willing to portray Billy from Taz Amnesty in the live action adaptation that exists only in my mind

Your TAZ pc designs are so Shape and your art is So Very Good!! Please feel free to ignore this but I’d love to see your design for Billy or Mr. Indred Mothman Cold :)
HIHIHIII TYSM thats so nice of u to say 🥺 here is an indrid and a couple billys for u tyty
Still years behind, and listening to TAZ. Just finished Amnesty, how was that ending MORE heart-wrenching than the end of Balance?!? The statue of Ned, the final episode of Saturday Night Dead, everyone coming home?!?! Gahhh I'm sobbing on my couch!!!
Pizza!
Billy (Griffin McElroy)
TAZ Amnesty
Ok, I listened to the Balance arc of The Adventure Zone (a BRILLIANT podcast that is a must to listen too! also, SPOILERS) and I finished Amnesty a few weeks ago!! I wanted some time to gather my thoughts. First off, I loved all the characters. Duck Newton, a forest ranger who ran from his destiny (but is it really his destiny?). Ned Fuckin’ Danger Friendly etc. Chicane, a man who owns a cryptid museum and then gets involved with more cryptids then he knows how to handle (who’s status is “brave” which always makes me cry). Aubrey Little, a stage musician who is actually a REAL magician (with a heart of crystal gold) with Dr Harris Bonkers her pet rabbit. Even when I have personal favorites, they are all such fun characters that I still have such a good time! What I really loved was the surprise Sci-Fi arc tho (SERIOUSLY, SPOILERS). I have seen some people say it was tacked on, or didn’t really fit, but I think it was amazing. The whole point you think that something in Sylvain is sending creatures to Earth in an attempt to kill humans, but it’s actually someone from behind the scenes the whole time. They have been trying to cause both worlds to hate one another, but it didn’t happen! Aubrey fell in love with Dani, and with the world of Sylvain! Her character spends more time in Sylvain then anyone. Ned dies for Dani, and does everything in his power to keep the angry mob from Sylvain! Duck saves Billy, who is technically a REAL enemy, and that friendship saved them! He also falls in love with Minerva and they get to do what she couldn’t for her world. We even have Vincent falling in love with Earth movies, Indrid Cold drinking the shit out of eggnog while tries to save people, and Jake Coolice finding friendship with the Hornets (tho it was pre-podcast). There was so much love that exists even when a malevolent force that has killed tens of thousands of worlds tries to tear them apart! Was the story a little bumpy? Sure. The ending will always have a place in my heart even when all the critiques I see about it I can’t really deny. But the McElroy’s have a love for stories filled with love, and I think it’s just as evident in Amnesty as Balance.
Get in, loser. We’re going monster hunting.
(I wanted to draw something that looked like it could be a title card or cover, and also thought the scene where Griffin described them just carting Billy around without a care as really, really funny. I also didn’t remember what color Ned’s car was supposed to be and when I was little my dad had a white Galaxy 500 with red leather interior and it was so choice I colored Ned’s car that way.)
Turns out the blink sharks were actually aliens from a paired planet set up by the light beings from Amnesty but the whole "conflict between worlds" plot got lost amidst the storm caused by the vestiges (maybe they also came from the blink shark world?) The bleached coral people are the forms taken by some of the light beings who spent too long transformed and forgot everything except "portal" which would get them back to their spaceship.
Duck Newton and his buddy Billy 🥺👉👈 just bein buds? I love your art im obsessed
