okay i'm doing a taz balance relisten and i know griffin didn't have so much planned out at the first arc but in retrospective it's SOOOO good. i'm most of the way through "gerblins" btw

taako being the only one perceptive enough to notice the skeleton outside the vault and taking a moment before telling his comrades about it. merle trying to grasp the umbrella and being thrown backwards "as if it has rejected you". taako being able to claim it. merle sensing that it contains Every school of magic within in (such an impossible-sounding feat!) bc it was crafted by such a powerful arcanist. the skeleton looking up at taako when he takes the umbrella, as if to give consent, before crumbling into dust

it's just. knowing that was lup's body, knowing lup is in the umbrella, in retrospect it just fits so nicely into the way their rolls went. it called out to taako, and taako answered, bc he didn't know it but that was his twin in there, his other half, the person he loves most in the world who was stolen from him

#The Adventure Zone #I LOVE the final Lunar Interlude where they figure everything out #And everyone wants to just move on but Taako is just. Refusing #Bc he can't trust the Director anymore! He's angry! He digs his heels in bc she made him forget HIS SISTER!#Justin plays Taako (even pre-Stolen Century IIRC?) as having loved Lup SO MUCH #That he's willing to fuck over everything in his current vicinity. Bc how DARE she #Maybe it is after SC. Even so. Most of the podcast had 0 Lup but now he KNOWS.#He's always gotten more into character than the others. I love those moments where the love comes through #Magnus and Julia or the 'choose joy' speech. The love is so real
