#TAAKO I CANT FUCKIN BELIEVE THIS

[emobatsy]

the boy have each others farstone numbers im screaming

[ceilingfan5]

for the au thing i don’t know if it counts but i want more facts about the teacher au

you’re INDULGING ME I KNOW THIS but im gonna LET YOU bc i CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THIS AU

LET’S GO

1. taako never intended to be a teacher, he just sort of fell into it bc of a job he had in college, and then he started subbing and he was like. oh shit. oh. oh man. i could do this. and SWITCHED HIS DEGREE AT LIKE THE LAST MINUTE AND HAD TO DO A LOT MORE SCHOOL but he was SO MUCH FUCKING HAPPIER

2. part of the reason he got into it tho is that he was considered a “challenging kid” and he has So Many complaints about his teachers throughout the years. of which there were many bc he and lup got shifted around so fucking much, which didnt help with him being an absolute little shit who just needed someone to notice he needed support

3. he had a whole ass identity crisis when he student taught, and he was so scared, like. am i gonna fuck these kids up?? am i going to ruin their tiny little futures??? he actually started in middle school and went younger when he Had To Get Out of a job and he was like fuck it it’s only one year, i can find another school when this year is over if i have to BUT HE FUCKING LOVED IT!!!!! THESE TINY PEOPLE ADORE HIM!!! AAAH

4. he loves teaching them big words he loves teaching them weird shit to say to their parents he loves wearing weird shit to school he loves getting drawings he loves watching the lightbulbs come on he loves watching them learn to read he loves completely abandoning the lesson plan and doing a whole day on a weird question he loves saying batshit nonsense and backing it up he loves getting down with them and playing aaahh

5. also in this au kravitz works at a casino!!! ive done kravitz as a high school teacher in the past but i thought this would be fun also. he has a lot of fun with it and it’s both nice and hard that he works later in the day. like in the minific he could bring taako lunch!!! but then it’s hard that sometimes taako has to go to bed without him. it’s a tradeoff. he works in guest satisfaction and gets lots of gifts from his high rollers and fucking loves to treat taako and take him out to nice restaurants and stuff!!! idk how they met in this one but it was something stupid and theyve been head over heels ever since. everyone was like. oh my god thats not going to work. but it DID so THERE!!!! krav loves to listen to taako gush or complain about his kids and his day and hes so supportive and full of love fuck i love them so much guys

PLOT TWIST! YOU THOUGHT I WAS DONE BUT IM FUCKING NOT!!!!!!! @herbgerblin mentioned taako with tiny WIZARD STUDENTS can you IMAGINE!!!! FUCK!!!! SAME AU BUT MAGICER 1. they all have tiny wizard hats and lil safety star wands and taako complains every year that that shit is on the supply list but then they show up on day one all excited and vibrating and he has to try really hard not to cry about it

2. he still teaches fucking math and reading and science and art and shit FUCK a certain particular series. education rules. also i care so fuckin much about this listen i have an original story about a teacher in a super power universe and shes a villain but you probably didnt want to hear about that youre here for taz but if you want to press that button you’re fuckin in for it pal (ailem i know you personally love that particular thing and i love you) but THIS IS ABOUT TAZ

3. GOD that would be so stressful ALSO having to teach magic?? jesus when is there time for intervention?? FUCK! but LISTEN!!!!  teaching 25 little tiny kids cantrips and shit!!! oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! draw a picture of your handsome teacher with mage hand everybody!!! no! handsomer!!!!!!!! jamie you’re doing perfectly sweetie

4. this could have gone in the top half and would have made more sense but first draft only draft amirite BUT taako’s so fucking good with the “challenging students” bc he GETS them and especially in this au tweest he’s so good at calming a kid whos like. getting overwhelmed and having like a magic storm and like other teachers might be like god i cant believe i had to deal with another tantrum today and taakos meanwhile like sat on the floor with the kid and calmed them down and reminded them he’s there and made them laugh and cool down

sidenote listen maybe they arent all wizards. or dnd wizards. sit down. let’s talk about the class system. i have a lot of thoughts actually. what do you MEAN you want me to move on

5. IMAGINE MAGIC PROJECT BASED LEARNING!!!! FUCK!!! IMAGINE LETTING THE KIDS LOOSE ON THE PLAYGROUND TO PLAY MAGIC TAG BUT HE STARTS AS IT!!!!!!!!! IMAGINE A KID WHO STRUGGLES W READING FINDING THEIR FOOTING IN MAGIC AND TAAKO BEING SO FUCKING PROUD AND USING IT AS A WINDOW TO GET THEM TO LIKE STORIES!!!!!!! IMAGINE 

okay im calm.

[acetrek]

please enjoy Ango’s Adventures in Not That Wonderland (not that one either)

The boy has been walking for a long time.

Forever, maybe.

The forest is bright around him, with giggles in the undergrowth. There was a wide, clear path at some point, but the boy has left it. He was curious about this forest and its vivid greens and reds, like a forest written about in a book by someone who has never been to a real forest. The dreamer’s forest, he thinks.

There is a crash in the undergrowth, and some irritable cursing.

The boy cannot stop, but he doesn’t speed up. The crash will follow him or it won’t.

It does, and soon there is a dove flying beside him.

“Hey, pumpkin,” the dove says.

“Hello,” the boy replies. The dove keeps pace with him as he continues, hovering at his side.

“Wow, what a walk in the woods. I see now why I never, ever go hiking in my spare time,” the dove says. The boy shrugs.

“I think it’s nice.”

The undergrowth is thick, but it parts for him. The dove has to fly close in order to avoid being hit.

“Yeah, love the fuckin’…weedy deathtrap,” the dove says. “Hey, I should make a fantasy vape trick called that. Mag–Maggie would think that’s real cool.”

“I didn’t know birds could vape,” the boy says politely. The dove lights down on his shoulder as he ducks under a low branch before taking off again.

“Not usually a bird, kiddo. That one’s on you,” it says.

“You can ride on my shoulder,” the boy offers. “I don’t mind.”

The bird ruffles its feathers mid-flight. “How about fucking no,” it says. “You shouldn’t offer that.”

It flaps in the boy’s face. “Actually, what the fuck’s with the dove thing anyway? You couldn’t see me as a, as a fuckin’ T-Rex? A mongoose? Something cool? All a bird can do is fly, I can already do that, I’m magic.”

“Sorry,” the boy says.

“Shouldn’t say that here, either. Be careful what you offer, sweetheart,” the dove says. It preens the boy’s hair. “Debts here are a bad idea.”

“I’ll get my student loans somewhere else,” says the boy. The dove snorts, and it occurs to him, distantly, that that isn’t something doves are usually known to do.

“You’ve got the smartest, richest people in the world lining up to give you a free education, kiddo, that’s not gonna be an issue.” It flies ahead for a moment and gets hit by a branch.

“Seriously, fuck this place,” it complains. “You should go home. Less stupid trees, and the ones we do have are attached to our stupid friends.”

The boy looks around him. The trees don’t look stupid to him. They look very friendly.

“You can go if you want,” he says. “I’m walking here.”

“Bada bing, bada boom,” the dove mutters, but it makes no move to leave.

Boy and dove keep walking in silence, before the boy remembers his manners. He’d never thought he would forget those.

“It’s nice to meet you,” he says. “What’s you name? Mine is–”

“Nope!” the bird interrupts. “No names until we’re home. It’s no good here, this isn’t a naming space.”

The boy is grateful, because now that it’s come up, he can’t seem to think of a name. It’s a slippery thought and it keeps getting away from him.

The dove seems to take pity on him.

“You can call me T…erry…miah,” it says. “Uh, yeah. Terry…miah. Terrymiah. That’s a name, and it’s for me.”

The boy frowns. “That doesn’t sound like a real name,” he says.

The dove gives the impression of a shrug. “That’s ‘cause it ain’t. You want a real name, you’ll have to find it yourself.”

“You can’t give it to me?” the boy asks.

“No,” says the dove. There is a beat of silence.

“I think Justin would be a better fake name,” the boy says.

“That’s my fake train name,” says the dove. “This is my fake dove name. Get it together An–gst machine. Angst machine.”

“What’s your real human name?” asks the boy.

“I think that one’s also Justin. I’m not a real human.”

“Fantasy human?” the boy guesses. He kind of likes this game.

“Not that, either. It’s not a good idea to give out too much identifying information right now.” The dove bats his shoulder with a wing. “We gotta get where we’re going.”

“Where are we going?” the boy asks.

“Depends on you. I vote home with a cozy fire to burn these fuckers right up and a nice meal. Can you eat fairies?” It stares into the undergrowth and the giggling fades. The forest seems darker with it gone.

“You don’t have to be rude,” says the boy. “My grandpa–”

He stops. Talking, not walking. He keeps on walking.

“Sorry, what?” he asks.

The dove follows. “You were telling me about your grandpa,” it says, softer than before.

The boy shakes his head. “I don’t think I have a family,” he says. “I don’t remember anyone who misses me. No one has called me home. I’ve been walking for an awfully long time. If someone loved me, wouldn’t they come visit me?”

The dove shakes its head.

“Look, kiddo, I can’t force you to believe you have or don’t have a family,” it says. “Like, I could tell you there are people who would fight extraplanar malevolent entities that scare the shit out of them specifically because they don’t want your home to die or you in it, but it goes in one ear and out the other if you don’t wanna believe it. And I know you can’t remember shit right now, and that–that sucks. It kinda trumps everything. One minute you’re telling your brother-in-law not to give up and the next your entire identity is ‘from TV!’ and that sucks.”

It clears its throat. “Not, uh. Not that that specific example has anything to do with anything. I just, uh, literally anyone would be better at this, fuck. But, uh, I have a family that’s looking for a little boy, if you’re in the market,” it says, almost shyly.

“You have a family who would want me?” the boy asks. He has a feeling, a vague, fleeting impression, that he shouldn’t be wanted. That he has never been wanted, and this forest is the only place that will love him.

“Yeah, I got one in mind,” the dove says. “It’s big. And loud. And everyone would get you the same edition of the same dumb book and you’d have like thirty copies of Caleb Cleveland: Kid Cop Volume fuckity whatever, but only mine would be signed, so that one’s better.”

“I don’t know how to be family with a dove. Like, with biology. Don’t you only live like, five years?” the boy asks. He is intrigued by Caleb Cleveland, though. “Are the books good?”

The dove snorts. “Trust me, bubeleh, I’ve already long outlived what I’m supposed to, I got another few centuries in ol’, uh…Terrymiah…yet. And the books’re great, if you’re into nerd shit like that. My husband does shitty voices for all the characters.”

“I think you could do some voices too,” says the boy.

“Yeah, but mine are the fucking bomb. I own those characters,” the dove says.

The boy has a sneaking suspicion that he does not, in fact, own those characters. He has an inkling that Terrymiah the dove is a big liar.

“What about the story? Is it like a mystery?” The boy likes the idea of a mystery. A cool little puzzle to solve with his dads and moms and assorted aunts and uncles. He hopes it’s a really big family.

“Well there’s, uh, in this last one there’s a diamond heist,” the dove says. “I did a way cooler one a while ago, but this one’s okay too. Caleb has to find out who did it, only there’s these two gangs having a war and its messing up all the evidence. But it turns out, they’re having a war over diamonds! And Caleb’s gotta find out, see, are these the same diamonds? Were they sold off after the heist or are the gangs involved? And his mom wants him to help decorate for Candlenights but he’s gotta find all these diamonds, you know, catching crooks and solving clues, and–”

“And he has to hide the diamonds in the decorations!” Angus cheers.

“Wh–yeah!” the dove says. “He does! ‘cause he keeps finding ‘em and his police dude is MIA and shit!”

“That’s such a good book,” Angus says. “Can we read it again?”

“Absolutely,” the dove agrees. “Can’t believe I came all this way and it was Caleb fuckin’ Cleveland to–but yeah. Just as soon as we get home, okay, pumpkin? And after, like, a nap. Spell slots.”

“Spell slots?” Angus asks. The dove isn’t carrying a wand.

“Don’t worry about it. I got some more in me yet. Is that a clearing?” the dove hovers a little ahead, right in front of Angus’s face. He pushes it to the side, and it’s definitely suspect how it’s hovering just there and not falling or straining at all.

As he thinks it, the dove falls to the earth.

“Sir!” he says, kneeling next to it. “Are you–did I hurt you? I didn’t mean to, I just wanted to see the clearing, I’m so–”

The dove rolls awkwardly until it finds its feet and shakes off its feathers, all wounded pride and apparently not at all wounded physically for the fall.

“Now you realize how fucking doves work,” it mutters.

“Sorry, sir,” Angus says, chastened. The dove hits him with a wing.

“Don’t even, it’s this place. You’re a little boy and all. We should keep going, though. Not a good idea to stay in one place.” It flaps its wings once, twice, but doesn’t gain any air.

“Do you need a lift, sir?” Angus asks. Come to think of it, he’s not sure why this dove is a sir.

“Fuck you, I can fucking fly,” it says. Angus decides to ignore it and put it on his shoulder again.

“I’m gonna imaginary shit on your imaginary shirt,” it threatens. Angus shrugs.

“Okay, sir,” he says. He feels like there are a lot of things his new friend says that he can safely ignore. “Why are there so many things that aren’t a good idea here?”

The dove begins smoothing its ruffled feathers. “You aren’t from here,” it explains. “I’m descended from this kind of place, distantly, but you aren’t. It’s why it messes with your head, and anything that stumbles across us here will have a home field advantage.”

That doesn’t sound good.

“How do we get home?” Angus asks. He stumbles a bit as he enters a brightly-lit clearing.

“How indeed,” says a new voice, a light that dances in the clearing. “Do you want to go home, little one? Truly?”

Angus feels dizzy, almost, staring directly into dazzling light. It’s beautiful. Like nothing he’s ever seen.

Taako attacks it.

“You get the fuck away from my magic boy, you half-corporeal light show!” he says, beating it with wings and talons, and then he isn’t a dove anymore, he’s a bear standing between the fae and Angus.

With a powerful swipe of his claws, he dispels it. Dead or gone, Angus isn’t sure.

“Really, kiddo?” Taako turns around. “Is this an I’Morko thing? Mama bear thing? I refuse to be part of it, if so.”

He turns into a dragon. Smaller than an adult dragon really should be, maybe horse-sized, but he seems to be the correct size for Taako, Angus thinks.

Taako shakes his head and stretches his wings out, giving them a hard flap.

“Now this is more like it!” he says. “Seriously, though, now that one of ‘em’s found you, we really gotta go. Clearing’s a good sign but we’re not out of the woods yet.”

He lowers his long neck to look closely at Angus.

“Actually. You carried me a bit, right? There’s a debt there. How about I carry you some, too?” he proposes.

“You told me not to do debts,” Angus says.

Taako snorts flame that doesn’t hurt. “Either way. I can’t carry you out of the woods, I can only help you on your way.”

Angus thinks hard. That seems important.

“Why are you here, anyway? And not home with your husband or your big family?” he asks.

Taako shrugs his massive shoulders, and Angus hops on his back. It seems more efficient that way, he thinks. And he gets this feeling he can trust Taako.

He’s also riding a dragon, and that is really, really cool.

Taako shoots through the woods, breathing fire at any obstructions, and then ice once Angus realizes that he’s a silver dragon and really shouldn’t be able to use fire.

“Hubby’s not really able to visit here,” he says. “This is a plane without death. Same goes for most everyone else, really. Either they’d forget like you did or they’re not allowed. Politics, mostly.”

“Why can I make you into other things?” Angus presses.

“‘cause fuck the Feywild, that’s why,” Taako says. He does not seem inclined to comment further.

Angus chews his lip. There’s one other thing he really needs to know.

He hunches over Taako. He’s very warm, and then he realizes that dragons are cold-blooded and Taako is an ice dragon and he is comfortable cool. There is something familiar and safe about the chill, he thinks.

He gathers his courage from that.

“If I go home, can I stay with you?” he asks. His final question, he promises himself. He won’t be a bother if the answer is no. He’ll be fine.

“We’ve already got the bedroom set up, be a hell of a waste if you weren’t there to use it,” Taako says, slowing to a trot.

“That’s okay, I–really?” Angus asks. “Just for me?”

Taako shrugs. “You know it, kiddo. You got other places to stay, but mine is rad and I don’t know why you’d live anywhere else.”

There’s light filtering in through the trees and they’re beginning to thin out again.

Angus clutches Taako’s back.

“Is that gonna be another one?” he asks, hiding as best he can in the mane Taako develops. Taako nudges him with his tail.

“I’ll be damned,” he says. “I didn’t think we could get here while I was carrying you. We’re almost home.”

Angus clutches tighter.

“What if your husband doesn’t like me? Will you put me back because you like him better?” he asks.

“Fuck no, I’ll kick his ass,” Taako says. “He loves you, you do nerd shit together and he thinks you’re the hot shit.”

Angus isn’t convinced.

“What about your big family? That’s a lot of people. What if they don’t like me?” he insists.

“Kick their asses too. I like you,” Taako tells him plainly. “An–Ango, I won’t let anything bad happen to you. Nothing’s gonna hurt you while I’m around.”

And just like that, he trots out of the woods, and they’re in their yard, in their home back in Neverwinter. Mister Kravitz is pacing the length of the house, and Miss Lup is barbecuing hot dogs.

“–even worry about ‘em, Angus is clever as hell. He’ll be saving Taako’s disaster ass, I’m calling it now,” she says. Mister Kravitz says something too low to hear, turns in his pacing, and spots them.

“Taako! Angus!” he calls. Angus reaches past Taako’s shoulders, and falls right out of his piggyback. He hadn’t even noticed Taako returning to elf form.

(”Oh, the labor,” Taako groans, and Lup conjures a mage hand to hit him over the head).

“Mister Kravitz!” he calls, and Mister Kravitz picks his up and holds him close and spins him, even colder than usual but brimming with affection.

“You scared us, Angus, don’t ever do that again,” he reprimands. “You could have been gone! Kaput! I never would have found you! Don’t wander off like that!”

Taako drapes himself over both of them. “Aw, don’t worry about it, Bone Daddy. All’s well that ends well.” His eyes are dark with worry, though. “How ‘bout it, kiddo? Lingering memory loss, disorientation, sense of unreality? You know who you are?”

“Yes, sir,” Angus confirms. “I’m Angus McDonald, Boy Detective! Did you tell Miss Lucretia I was trapped in the Feywild? I was supposed to meet her for lunch, but I think I’m late.”

Kravitz combs his fingers through his hair. “Three days late, in fact. She’s inside with everyone else. And you, love, need to get back to your body,” he says to Taako, who now that Angus looks at him is looking remarkably incorporeal.

“You didn’t take me out of my body, did you?” Angus asks worriedly. He feels his hands. They seem solid.

“Naw, kiddo, you’re all here,” Taako says, swiping a hand through him to show it. “Can’t even touch you now that we’re not in the Feywild. Merle’ll do his shitty cleric thing to be sure, but you’re fine.”

“And nothing bad is going to happen to me while you’re around,” Angus says. Taako groans and mutters about embarrassment and his brand and swears an oath of vengeance.

Angus remembers what he said, though, as Kravitz carries him inside and the exhaustion hits. Apparently walking for three days straight takes it out of you.

He repeats it to himself as he falls asleep.

I like you. I won’t let anything bad happen to you. Nothing’s gonna hurt you while I’m around.

He believes it.

NAME OF YOUR MUSE: magnus burnsides

ONE PICTURE YOU LIKE BEST OF YOUR MUSE’S FC:

TWO HEADCANONS YOU HAVE FOR YOUR MUSE THAT YOU NEVER TOLD ANYONE:

1. magnus will always blame himself for what happened to julia and, on that same note, not taking the chalice, not fixing what he had caused, not taking julia’s place or w/e came as a Price for that. he’s glad that he didn’t, and he knows what would’ve happened if he had and logically that like. it’s good he didn’t ? and like !!!!!! he knowwwws it wasn’t what julia would have wanted but. it’s what magnus wanted ? and he can’t help but feel almost,,,, guilty for not taking the chance to fix it. 

2. i might’ve talked abt this before but magnus has to. prove himself a lot. not even to other ppl just. to himself ? and it’s. honestly why that like. after julia he,,,,, became an Adventurer like. full time or w/e hgnfgn he has to prove that he is worthy of being here and worthy of the bureau and his friends and just. being alive ? and that’s so morbid but like. it’s honestly the only way he views himself like... if he’s not ? doing something good for others or good for the world like,, what purpose does he serve ?

THREE THINGS THAT YOUR MUSE LIKES DOING IN THEIR FREE TIME:

1. carpentry. he likes carving and putting things together and it’s so. relaxing and familiar & he gets lost in it for hours. it always reminds him of home and of ravens roost and julia and it’s just. very therapeutic and comforting & something that he just. default resorts to when he’s bored or chillin or w/e 

2. training ! magnus is a very. restless dude ? and gets bored very easily and training is always very unpredictable ( at least. when he’s training w/ killian & carey & noelle nfjnjn ) and it’s something different every time and it’s good for just. expelling his Emotions n letting stuff out n shit gnjfjmkf he very much loves like. the pain ? that comes w/ exercising honestly again it’s. very relaxing for him and something he knows how to do very well 

3. reading hngnjf.,,,, again he has. such a low attention span so he can’t always. focus on a book for that long ? and usually always just. skips to reading the dialogue between charas but it’s. kinda a comfort thing ? and something to do when he just,,, chills

SEVEN PEOPLE THAT YOUR MUSE LOVES / LIKES:

1. JULIA.   that’s ? his wife ???? ngnjfjmkm g od not to be emo or anything but jesus christ mag loves julia so much and so entirely and she. made him into a better person and made ! him ! good ! she taught him how to be better ! everything he is today is bc of julia ! what the fUCK im crying in the club rn !

2. TAAKO.   honestly like. whether we’re talking platonic or romantic, taako means,,,, the world to magnus ? he’s someone he’s grown so so close to in the past year ( and,,, the past century if we wna get Deep ) and honestly just. trusts him so entirely and he would literally do anything for him uuum im crying again

3. MERLE.   merle’s his fuckening DAD hgnfjmkmfn okay like !!! mag pokes fun @ merle n stuff but like. they’re so close !!!! and in a way he like. almost does see merle as a parental figure ? just. someone older and ( admittedly ) wiser and who, for all the Bullshit he makes them put up with, mag can always count on ? he would literally take a fantasy Bullet for taako and merle and that’s literally canon so. jot that down

4. ANGUS.   magnus absolutely,,,, adores ango gnnjfnj at first he wasn’t so keen and was kinda. mean 2 him like the rest of them but he’s like his lil brother / son at this point ? he just wants the best for ango and is a Proud Dad always um im weeping ?

5. LUCRETIA.   i’ve already written a whole Thing abt how important their friendship is to me so like. just to delve into the bob friendship for a moment can i just.... magnus probably looks up to lucretia so much ? i don’t want to say like a mother bc she’s like. i mean she’s technically his age, but she’s def someone he can count on to be there for him and she’s prob such ? a role model to him and just. seeing everything she does for the bob and how much she cares about this organization and the work they’re doing and believes so wholeheartedly in them and this mission & i think mag would admire her so greatly for that

6. LUP.   they’ve interacted like. twice and maybe it’s my Absolute Love for lup coming out but lIKE.... they’re just. so similar ? in my onion like.. mainly personality wise and in that like. in the best way, they bring out the absolute Worse in one another ? mag is always all rushing in and destroying things and never careful and always loud and while lup prob isn’t,,, necessarily always like that, magnus can 100% bring out that side of her and just. egg lup on & rile her up and they both have.. Zero Chill n when they get together they’re the fucking ! worst ! jnfmkfmf g od idk but their friendship is literally god tier i adore them 

7. BARRY.   magnus fucking. died side by side w/ this dude without like. a second thought u think he wouldn’t like or trust barry after that..... miss me w/ that ( also ummmmmmm sidenote but if travis / griffin don’t expand on that friendship....... 🔫🔫 )

TWO THINGS YOUR MUSE REGRETS:

1. julia. again, magnus will always, always blame himself for what happened to her. like. he left. for a chair. he should’ve been smarter, he should’ve seen it coming, but he didn’t and he left her & ravensroost alone for a fuckin chair. & like. even though he knows it was the right thing to do, the rebellion was him ? & kalen was him. if he’d killed him when he got the chance, if he hadn’t left julia alone, if he hadn’t brought about the rebellion ( no matter how much good it did, because it didn’t even matter in the end anyway ), julia would still be alive ? it was his fault and his mistake and julia never should’ve had to pay for that and he’ll literally never forgive himself uuuuuuh anYWAYS  

2. this kinda. goes hand in hand w/ the last one and is more,,, of a Concept than a direct thing but magnus just. he hurts for everyone he cant save ? sometimes it’s easier for him if it comes down to strangers or his friends ( in which case the choice is obvious & easy ) but like. with ravens roost or phandalin or fuckin. the trust or forsake thing in wonderland or every planet they hadn’t managed to save from the hunger it just,,,,, wrecks him and he takes it so hard because like ? protecting ppl is his fucking deal. it’s,,, what he does best ? who even is he if he can’t do that ?

A PHOBIA YOUR MUSE HAS:

1. it’s not really a phobia i don’t think but mag is scared shitless of spiders. he gets so so panicky and like. shaky ? n cant rly breathe when they’re in his proximity and he always has to calm down for like. an hour after he sees one aaaa,,, me 2 mag  :/

If still accepting au's for the 5 things, then how about an AU where Lup is an alien who crash-lands on Earth and gets captured by the government?

lots of potential here considering that they’re fuckin aliens in canon and that doesn’t go anywhere like HONESTLY. IMAGINE,

send me an u and i’ll write five things about it!

1. lup is an alien so taako is also an alien and he comes looking for her and he’s distraught he’s never been without her before and can you imagine what theyre DOING TO HER

2. lup is captured by the govt and meets barry, a scientist who Did Not Sign Up For This but also REALLY WANTS TO KNOW and half of him is like FUCK YOU I TOLD YOU ALIENS ARE REAL and OH MY GOD ALIENS ARE REAL SHES A PERSON WE CANT DO THIS and he works to free her

3. meanwhile taako is fighting desperately to find her and gets in with KRAVITZ who is basically fox mulder i mean. honestly. really. what did you expect. and just the fucking sheer comedy of a believer and a skeptic that is secretly an alien and the blossoming romance under the pressure of finding his sister CHEFS KISS

4. and then they break into a secure govt agency and shit goes to hell in a handbasket and there are ALARMS and TENDER LONGING LOOKS and MORAL DILEMMAS

5. and they get out fine and all live in an apartment together and then it’s a sitcom about these two incredibly normal but also bizarre science nerds and their alien lovers bc that’s the domestic wild shit that im into

[funsizedshark]

taz thoughts, under the cut bc spoilers

im on ep 52 and ready to Scream

the fuckin plot twists are murdering me????? like what the fuck??? the eleventh hour messed me up

all the offers to the three of them from the temporal chalice were Painful (magnus’ especially, WHAT THE FUCK?? WHAT THE FUCK) but like. i was so fuckin proud of my boys i just [clutches chest]

the time loop thing was amazing???? griffin is a Damn Good DM holy fuck

i love lady istus. i would kill for lady istus but she wouldnt want me to

also?? ALSO?? when she went “you’re going to be amazing” i had to actually sit down and gasp and like. yall. i can already tell the final episodes of this podcast are going to fuckin destroy me emotionally

i love all the characters so much. so much i cant believe how invested i am in all of them

the story. oh boy the story is so fucking interesting I AM LITERALLY ON THE EDGE OF MY FUCKIN SEAT BC I CANT BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT IS??? boy the red robe stuff is honestly fucking with my head i have so many questions

like: what the fuck is up with taako’s umbrella?? by now all i understand is that it seems to be sentient? and connected to whoever lup is bc it wrote their name on the wall during one of the lunar interludes when angus was having his magic lesson

also “lup” could have honestly been anything else and at first i thought it stood for smth? like an acronym or whatever but then the red robe mentioned them in the eleventh hour and it was definitely a name

WHICH BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER THING RE: THE RED ROBE

what. the fuck. is going on with the red robe. why would they trust you buddy youve been a creep this whole time

BUT PLOT FUCKIN TWIST! PLOT BARREL ROLL MAGNUS WAS A RED ROBE??????? WHATS UP WITH THAT GOD

honestly one of the most interesting things so far is a) the long periods of static in all of their memories before the adventure started (DURING WHICH APPARENTLY MAGNUS WAS A RED ROBE???) and b) magnus’ interaction with the void fish during the lunar interlude

ALSO THE DIRECTOR OH MY GOD i. idk but i get the feeling shes involved in some way in the static?? good or bad??? shes such an interesting character though omg

to move on to nicer things: angus mcdonald deserves the world and i am ready to give it to him on a silver platter!!! HES SUCH A GOOD BOY!!!

i would also die for kravitz

i love him

i cant believe taako succesfully talked the grim reaper into going on a date with him and it worked!! and theyre gonna see each other again!!!

k thats it for now but theres less than 20 eps left so once im done im making another post bc i just Know theres gonna be tears involved. i already teared up a couple of times its def gonna happen

[skattig]

Taako make-up test! I tried to do some masculine contouring but you cant see it ;w; But I never use makeup so I guess it’s a relative succes haha.

I didn’t really get to test my entire cosplay so I hope tomorrow’s gonna be alright!

Last pic: “Magnus tried to eat this stone. Again. Can you fuckin believe it.”

[fictionkinfessionsarchived]
