#THESE R GOOD BLESS U TAZ!!!!!!!!!!

[ikesenmotonari]

OK LAST ONE cause I dont want you to get annoyed with me spamming your inbox. (Though, in my defense, you told me to!) How old were you when you started making OCs? Is there a parallel universe somewhere where all of the OCs youve ever made exist together? -Taz 4/4

OKAY OKAY OKAY uhhh well! avery, lou and melody are actually from a completely separate universe (which i happily call louniverse) where humans live with elementalists! they’re really just superpowered human beings to keep it simple. uh, think of avatar: the last airbender meets my hero academia. though i’ve had this concept for almost a decade!

since then i’ve evolved it, changed characters, added new ones... the people i’ve shared this world with and stuck with me up to now are very close friends of mine and i’m really happy that we bonded over one silly little rp group many years ago, heehee. elemental academy and its lovely shenanigans reigns supreme as always in the back of my mind :’D it’s definitely a concept that’s been through a lot and aahhh i am my own worst critic

i actually have a full folder of google docs on this. i loved worldbuilding. i’m.. i’m actually still rping this

BUT YEAH THESE ASKS WERE GREAT THANK U!!!! pls feel free to poke me with a stick and tell me to talk about my ocs and i shall do the same

TAZ Grad Ep 27

The boys are in front of the Godscar chasm  (This is spooky right off the bat lets see where this goes)

FUCK Argo rolled a 1 and is being strongly affected by the chasm he grabs onto Fitz’ shoulder for balance (Maplekeen shippers come get yall juice.)

T h e m u s i c (I will lose my mind as soon as this album is out good lord)

Argo is seeing himself attacking his boys? (Holy shit where is this going?)

IT WAS A FUCKING DREAM THANK FUCKING GOD (This better not be one of those things like Duck had in Amnesty I’ll fight.)

Griffin being pissed that he rolled a nat 20 on perception in a fucking dream and declaring that he’s withholding that until a more opportune time.

Uh oh…. Where are Firbolg and Fitz?

awe they left him a note! It’s okay!

GRAY BETTER BACK OFF IM ALREADY PISSED IM NOT EVEN 6 MIN INTO THE EPISODE AND IM ALREADY DONE. THIS MOTHER FUCKER NEEDS TO DIE AND QUICK. s t o p h u r t i n g a r g o 2 0 2 0

”That’s just dad’s inner monologue” that’s… awe come on “sorry my son came in here and said that bullshit” “awe Henry come on man” “being a bad son is genetic it seems” (Pure gold I love this family)

Sabor saying he was “somewhere else for a second” (does not give me the best vibes ngl…. Sabor’s p sus)

Justin’s new podcast law around Sabor and Firbolg. (Tbh I was a big fan of the slow arduous talking scenes but I will live I suppose…)

Sabor…………………… why are you so sus rn. Ur just tired. Stop being cryptic p l e a s e.

”I have been giving this much thought” “hell yes.”

FESTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE MUSIC CAME ON AND I BECAME INSTANTLY FERAL HOLY CRAP FESTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (I have been waiting for their return omfg)

”Would you like to party with the fairy’s?” “I need some sort of survival guarantee that I’ll make it through the evening” (This is an extremely viable request)

“Snippers don’t be like that…” “It’s okay I’m flattered!” (I need subtitles for Snippers p l e a s e)

“But this Lil guy is my familiar. He’s not the source of my magical powers, as far as I know… that would be a pretty late season twist.” “DAMNIT GRIFFIN YOU FIGURED IT OUT! All magic in Nua flows through snippers”

FESTO AND GORDY HAVE PARTIED TOGETHER WHAT A DUO (I need fanart of them STAT)

damnit they haven’t partied with Chaos

OH SHIT they don’t know about Fitzroy’s connection with Chaos

oop this is…. Oop. “if your source of magic is external you should not have been able to access it within the crypt.”

 “I also have a habit of delighting people” “HM!”

He lovingly refers to them as his “Boys”

“that wasn’t Argo that was your dad” “CLINT?! THE POWERFUL WIZARD!?” (Clint is truly a multidimensional and plane hopping wizard. We stan)

“we need a name for this multiverse that Clint Travels through” “How about the Clinterous” “TRAVIS. Honestly Travis! Are you fucking kidding me?!” (I………… why Travis… why)

Thank god they all use the restroom before they leave

Argo was literally stabbing in his sleep….?

Firbolg’s first pair of shorts! ‘N he enjoys them. V v happy with this

This means that Gray is actively in Argo’s mind, twisting what he hears! That’s dogshit he needs to stop (s t o p h u r t i n g a r g o 2 0 2 0)

Firbolg has yet to tell them about his dad’s passing and Fitz’ respects that. Argo on the other hand goes ahead and pries in on it.

(Fits their characters tbh)

“Are we just not going to class anymore?” “It’s all Virtual” (I had to stop and laugh for a good minute bc of the delivery by Justin. It got me)

Hero is in front of the Chasm… bb are you ok...

Fitz’ whistling to get Hero’s attention… (Fitz… he’s not a Dog anymore bud…)

Hero has been working up the courage to explore the Chasms! (Pls take him with you)

“you were a dog for a long time you think that you’d be used to people cleaning up your mess” it gets a smile out of hero AND Firby starts to dance! (I need all of the Firby cosplayers to make a TikTok with this and I need all artists to draw this stat. I need the dopamine p l e a s e)

“He does this any time he makes a slam dunk of a joke we just have to let him finish”

God I love when they back up for a min and do some good ol table talk

”I’m talking as a human being Justin Mcelroy father of two.”

“If you guys win a demon war? It’s at least an A-” “what would it take to get the A+?” “You could bring me a fruit basket” (The absolute Corruption… lmao)

Niceee Hero is gonna go work with Althea this is gonna be great.

Yes griffin giving that perception check NO CLINT WITH THAT FUCKING NAT 1 (Clint needs new dice that are blessed please)

Fitz sees Argo take out his blade and sees a look in his eyes. Firby sees it too. (aaaaaand I was right it was one of those “Duck” scenarios ….. damnit)

Firby uses thorn whip around Argo’s wrist and he doesn’t fight it. ( :(  )

Fitz insists that he goes into Argo’s mind to see what’s going on and Argo agrees but as Fitz gets near him he puts up a fight… (This is getting quite concerning)

FIRBOLG CASTS HOLD PERSON. HOLY SHIT. BRO. (I did not know he could do that… damn alright…)

Clint your VA is so good I adore you so much. (I just need to tell him that he is doing an amazing job. Pulling at my heartstrings constantly)

Maplekeen shippers come get your angst (I don’t ship it myself but I cannot imagine what the tags are gonna look like after this bc damn…)

CLINT YOU NEED TO FUCKING GET RID OF THAT D20 DUDE

Gray is in Argo’s mindscape. Mother FUCKER.

Fitz casts Thunderwave at Gray on-site and a Lil to cocky like Gray puts up a hand to block it but underestimates Fitz and goes flying about 10ft back (This is… mmmmm yes I’m very comfortable with the energy we’ve created in the studio today)

“Stop fucking cheating!” (YO HE CURSED REALLY WELL!!!!!! He’s learning!)

YEAH! THAT’S RIGHT MOTHER FUCKER BE SURPRISED BY FITZ AND RUN AWAY YOU COWARD (God I hate this dude)

“Festo wouldn’t do anything to hurt me” *silence* (Sus)

The portal in the Chasm... ever-growing… Opalescent being with white eyes...

ORDER?!

I’m very intrigued. I enjoy how Fitz is annoyed instead of angry most of the time. It really brings into perspective that this is kinda a useless war that doesn’t need to happen. That also the Warforged from the last episode was onto something with the question of “why six months?).

[yea-im-smokin-pot]

this is boring but...STARKID SHOW RANKING

12. ani: a parody

ok so lemme explain, i love every starkid show, and i love ani. but i feel like its one of those shows where its like, some things are kinda better than this, yknow? also jar jar binks is one of the best characters in this musical.

11. firebringer

i literally perform this all the time in my room, but i feel like the writing on this isnt the bEeeSt? idk honestly. i love the female representation and im gay for lauren lopez, but this musical is not my absolute favorite.

10. holy musical b@man

i absolutely love the costumes, and i really dont wanna put it this low but iDk this is hard as fuuuuck. the writing is amazing, and by that i mean THE PUNS AND JOKES. they literally made the calendar man call batman and robin “april fools” and he also said “get ready to MARCH into your deaths” like WHAT. also jeff blim’s acting and timing is absolutely perfect.

9. me and my dick

i...fucking love this show? its one of the funniest shows if you’re into sex humor. joey’s heart is one of the best characters and boy am i a lesbian for ms. cooter. i absolutely love the production quality, its worse than a very potter musical somehow. i love how the quality of it has “5th grade sex ed” vibes. yknow?

8. a very potter sequel

oh boy am i gonna get hated for this. a very potter sequel is usually the favorite among the trilogy. ok in the harry potter trilogy, its not my absolute favorite, and it doesnt give the same vibe yknow??? but as a starkid show itself its really funny and the choreography is spectacular. thank james tolbert for that.

7. a very potter senior year

bro this one just HITS DIFFERENT YKNOW? if you ignore the fact that they have scripts on stage and that it seems rushed, then its really beautiful. i was watching it last night and i heard senior year play and i started SOBBING. the fact that it was the end of the trilogy was so sad. also, avpsy was supposed to be the last starkid show which makes it even sadder. the songs in this show are just so much better. for example, tonight this school is mine, sidekick, i was. THEYRE ALL B O P S ! joey richter’s vocals improved soo much and he deserved that solo.

6. twisted

DYLAN FREAKING SAUNDERS, GET THIS MAN ON BROADWAY. i love the character and emotion he put into ja’far. if i believed gets me every time, a tearjerker if i do say so myself. joe walker as prince achmed was the best choice honestly, now he’s one of my dream roles. also, jeff blim’s aladdin???? GOLDEN. thst scene where you find out he murdered his parents and he goes through this whole dialogue between his other identity is hilarious. the comedy is beautiful.

5. black friday

i might get attacked for putting this at number 5. but still, KENDALL NICOLE YAKSHE IS A FUCKING BLESSING. she’s only 13 and shes already top notch at acting. and honestly, i love mariah, i do, but im glad she didnt play lex. i loved angela’s version of her. also, IM SO HAPPY WE FINALLY HAVE AN ALTO. I CAN ACTUALLY SING TO BLACK FRIDAY AND CALIFORM.I.A. also, KIM WHALEN!!!!! HER VOCALS IN TAKE ME BACK ARE FUCKING ASTONISHING. robert manion is a BLESSING and jeff blim looks sosososo happy in this.

4. a very potter musical

i fucking love this musical. draco? a dream role. voldemort? mood. the songs? amazing. hotel? trivago. no but honestly, the reason why i like this musical so much is the nostalgia. whenever i listen to it just tear up a bit yknow? also this musical got me into glee so 😗✌️. also i feel like snape (joe moses) is so under appreciated in all three musicals??? like he’s so fucking funny. the music in this show is so good. also, quirrellmort??? beautiful.

3. the guy who didnt like musicals

and now, the musical that got me into starkid, this mess. ah yes, it was a hot july day. i was performing in a play, but oh shit i had strep!!! so i missed our last dress rehearsal :( but if it wasnt for that, i probably wouldn’t even know what starkid is. i remember trying to watch this musical when it first came out, but for some reason i had a fear of jeff blim so i turned it off. but i watched it and was like “DAYUM” also, robert manion’s hip wiggles are really fucking hot for some reason. i found this musical really funny and im really into comedy. the opening number? golden. the ending is where its at though, INEVITABLE. jon matteson has a really nice voice. and mariah rose faith, A GODDESS!!!! i had been watching mariah’s (@linguinismansion) covers ever since i got into theatre. i loved her dead girl walking cover and her world burn cover. (and now shes in mean girls!! wooo!) im also 90% sure mariah is why im a lesbian so...thanks...i guess?? anyway i love this show and its chaotic cast

2. trail to oregon

you guys are probably very confused as to why this is second. I TOLD YALL I LIKED COMEDY. jeff blim’s writing is fucking amazing. the music? godly. cornwallis? sexy. for some reason when i first watched this i found jeff blim sexy??? dont ask??? but its really hilarious and it honestly is just my family taking a road trip. c h a o t i c. the son is my dream role and if i ever play him then i want my name to be onion. dont ask. but i love the plot and music so much. also joey richter’s constant quick changes in independence are impressive as fuck!!! also he’s so good at every role in this musical. 11/10

1. starship

this might be a shocker since i never talk about it or have never used it in any of my posts. but every time i watch this musical, i cry. i fucking love status quo and joey richter has come so far in singing and theatre. he’s honestly so fucking good. status quo is the best starkid song, there i said it. also, im such a fucking lesbian for taz. her spanish accent, wow im gay. and dont get me started on dylan, the arm structure that you need to hold up pincer’s puppet, damn. he had his arms up for like 12 minutes!!! kick it up a notch is one of the best villain songs in all of starkid. also, brian holden is just fucking...making me question my sexuality, i dont know why but junior is cute as shit. it might be the hair i dont know. starship needs more recognition in the starkid fandom. im not saying it’s underrated like how ani and me and my dick are, but its very rare that you hear that this show is someone’s favorite. this musical is so fucking good and the music is just mWa! s p e c t a c u l a r.

[ghosty-schnibibit]

very late (both in terms of date and time) ttazz liveblog before graduation comes out later today! 

the main reasons i put off listening to the ttazz for as long as i did:

was in the middle of a balance relisten, specifically in the middle of eleventh hour, and didn't want to break my flow there (iirc i was right before That Episode and i didn’t want the mood whiplash of going from ttazz to the emotional gut punch of the chalice)

still getting over amnesty in general because d a m n, this was my first season with taz from beginning to end that hit me hard, i needed some decompression time

i'm always a little terrified to listen to ttazz eps because i've been here for a long ass time and have seen interactions between fans and creaters go bad fast and am always quietly worried for our good good brothers even though most of the fandom is relatively chill

but graduation begins today so! i felt like i needed to get it over and done with. going into this with my only spoiler being that sternclay is canon, let's do this!

OH SHIT! new ttazz music! :D

kill me with emotions more like

or clint could be pollution a la g’omens

YES PLEASE I HAD TO GOOGLE HIM

... is there some reverb on justin's audio? he's echoing

i literally only saw ferris buller for the first time a year ago and i cannot remember wayne newton being in it

whomst???

yes please i am so curious

aww, that's fun

... so the ending was likely originally going to be duck taking over as mothman??? i'm so mad

YES PLEASE EXPLAIN GRIFFIN I WAS SO CONFUSED ABOUT THIS

g i v e  m e  t h e  l o r e  g r i f f i n

oh my god that is so good, holy shit

oh right, the npc who was a ghost that i couldn't stop picturing as owl from winnie the pooh because of his voice lmao

oh dang griffin and trav's audios are echoing too, this is super distracting

i would agree with that honestly, i feel like it was more like a tv season-esque build than an epic

... mood, and also why i think it hit everyone so hard that ned died

same, i love bad liar duck so much

the audience struggled with it too for a bit there lol

it has been so fuckin long since i listened to the first few eps of amnesty, i legit do not remember what aubrey's original voice sounded like

"how did we come to ned chicane?" damn trav

i always made a connection between suffering game and the shifter arc in my head but i didn't want to compare the two seasons unjustly, i feel better now that griffin's made it more implicit

who is clinking a spoon against a porcelain cup

"i'm checking slack, fuck you guys" pfff

that is literally how you brought barry back griffin

i need someone to write an au where aubrey touched thacker and got quelled earlier in the timeline, holy shit

dang, i could have guessed it was planned... i guess a lot of this arc's foreshadowing came in the form of "the boys all picked red null suits" moments where random things all added up

... wait, didn't duck kill the tree abomination? i need to relisten to amnesty so bad, i honestly cannot remember, i think that arc’s finale came out while i was in the middle of finals

ilu griffin

we could have had a "you earned love, but you didn't earn LOVE" moment??? g r i f f i n

YES, give me those great parallels trav

i have literally never seen a national lampoon movie guys

i thought it was!!! dang :(

honestly i wish pigeon had gotten more screen time between the arcs, she was really a wasted character imho

i love danbry so much :')

i'm only familiar with brian blessed as hamlet sr.'s ghost lmao

YEEEAH, STERNCLAY! :D

...

i maintain that she fell off a pudding fruit tree lol

oh fuck i am somehow even more happy thacker did that knowing that now holy shit

nice, time for some graduation hype!

tiny heist? i don't remember hearing anything about this :0

i am so fucking excited to see these maps trav, holy shit

i! cannot! wait! for! travis! dming!

oh my god i do the same thing with all my ocs, i have an entire publisher doc with all their info written out too

i'm so damn exited! holy shit!!!

nice one griff lmao

alrighty, that's the end of amnesty! i can't wait to see what trav has in store for us, and i'll still be here livebloging along with it for the foreseeable future ^u^

p.s.: thank you guys so much for all the love on my recent post!!! i didn't expect so many people to enjoy me venting my emotionsTM over suffering game lol

[doforlove]

podcast post nobody asked for

life is hard podcasts r good and these boys got me through 2017 so heres a post dedicated to them

The Adventure Zone/ My Brother My Brother and Me

taz is a dnd let’s play podcast and even if u kno nothing abt dnd going into it (like i did) its still funny as fuck and youll probably be into dnd by the end of it. It starts out with 3 brothers and their dad shitting around in dnd and turns into a beautiful heart wrenching story by the end.  the story telling is sooo touching, the music is great, and the McElroys r just a blessing its impossible to not like.

mbmbam ends ur hatred of mondays bc every week u get an hour of the McElroys answering the weirdest yahoo questions on the internet and its the funniest thing in the world. 

if u arent listening to both of these yet wyd

Welcome to Nightvale

another classic everyones heard of i dont have anything new to say its just a weird, funny, and emotional radio show for a fake town where every possible conspiracy theory is true. again if u arent listening yet wyd

Wolf 359

space gays. 

but seriously its abt a crew sent to space to monitor the wolf 359 star and they find out their mission is fucked up and shady. incredible story and some of my favorite characters ever, the writing, directing, music and acting are all so stunning please listen to it

The Bright Sessions

I binged this whole show in 2 days. Its abt ppl with superhuman abilities going to therapy. if ur gay and u like psychology and/or superheroes u need to listen to this oh my god

Alice Isn’t Dead

made by nightvale presents its abt a poc truck driving lesbian with anxiety searching for her missing wife while being hunted down by supernatural beings what more can i say

Shmanners

Travis and Teresa McElroy talking abt etiquette and history and just being rlly cute together its 100/10 

Wonderful

its literally just Griffin and Rachel McElroy talking abt the thing they love + listener submissions its so so so nice to listen to 

(also all the fiction podcasts here have lgbt and poc rep!)

[bosstoaster]

Dude you play DnD? What do you play?

I do, but usually I’m less ‘playing’ and ‘herding cats’, since I DM.  But it’s a lot of fun!  I love DMing because it’s all the worldbuilding part of writing without every having to come up with a plot - just a hook and let the players fill in the meat, ahaha.

When I do play, it’s almost always as a Warlock, because I adore them.  I have a halfling warlock named Kerry who has a pact with the Raven Queen (bless you, unearthed arcana).  There’s also a tabaxi hexblade named Storm whose sword holds the still-determined soul of a paladin trying to force him to complete Good Works, but who really just wants to keep his twin sister out of trouble.  

I’ve calmed down on the constant DnD reblogs, outside of Critical Role and TAZ, because I now have a sideblog for keeping my stuff. At least two of my players keep up with this Tumblr so I’ve got to be careful not to spoil anything I want to be a big reveal.  But I still talk about it a lot, ahaha.

I also have spent h o u r s making up characters for Team Voltron, assuming that Matt was DMing and just helped them make PCs/stats based on themselves.  So that’s a thing.

[incendiarysongbird]

Good Things About the Taz Austin Live Show

- a n g u s - god bless Griffin McElroy for this -"Magnus! It's just another day of high school!" -Brody -The setup of the classroom/ practice building is literally just Persona. Griffin. This is Persona. And I love it. -Magnus, taking out the entire Hammerhead Gang -"I'm a big believer in talking to my plants." "FUCK YOU. I QUIT. I'm out! Is Taako in the building? TAAKO HAS LEFT THE BUILDING. Taako's smoking with the cool kids." -"DON'T FUCK THIS PLANT." -the entire botany scene omg -R e n -partners with Ren on making a HA M SANDW H I CH -Rick getting bullied by his students -"Clear eyes. Full sports. Have fun." "GUYS. ITS BASKETBALL A LITTLE BIT MAYBE." -TEEN WOLF FUCK -"Taako, you've got a J in this class." - Boom shacka lacka -Griffin talking about RBI (Runs Batted In) in regard to football?? -Clint, remembering he has Turn Undead -the very calm "It's Brody." -"I drink protein shakes everyday which is why I am how I am, and I hate the way they taste." -Honestly, high school Angus is probably a stud but I really don't want to think about that because he's our sweet baby boy detective -ANGUS CASTING SHATTER FOR THE AESTHETIC -"if you get dunked on in the dream, you get dunked on in real life."

1/3: A very good evening to you all 😊 Couple of weeks ago, ahead of the #StankinOnWETNESSday series, I asked the absolutely beautiful Ms. @lvdy_.taz if she could bless me with some S U P E R W E T S T A N K I L I C I O U S N E S S by making it #StankyWithLipGlossOn 💦💦 She promised me she'd deliver and OH MY GAWD she most certainly did 😍💖👌 From a STANKCREDIBLE side-view, just take a look at how her nose RUTHLESSLY CLAMPS on her upper lip - #Stank 🔥 #Stank 🔥 #Stank 🔥 Oh Niya, I love how effortless this is for you 💝 #Melanin 🍫 #AllThatSTANK 💞

[ghosty-schnibibit]

almost on time taz liveblog! woohoo! ^u^

i'm going to be dead straight with you guys, i procrastinated listening to the new ep until about 11 pm where i am because i couldn’t bring myself to jump straight into it after waking up this morning from having some weird ass dreams that involved, among other things, a creepy labyrinth-esque nightmare realm with a tilda swinton lookalike fae queen trapping me there until i solved her puzzles. it was just... yeah. just yeah.  

anyway, let's do this shit

starting off with the creepy stern quote from the experimental arc... ominous as hell, i am intrigued

oh that's not great

i love you sarah lmao

"yeah i mean we had a good run" duck my sweet boy

[ghosty-schnibibit]

LATE TAZ LIVEBLOG BUT HOLY SHIT I’M FREAKING OUT

fun fact, i listened to the first 15 minutes or so of the episode yesterday afternoon and then had to leave it there because my dad was picking me up to go home for the weekend and then taking me and my mom to go to the new norfolk ikea. i've managed to avoid spoilers but i did see one non-spolier  reaction from someone on my dash that was, quote-unquote, "I'M FUCKING SHAKING" so i'm still extremely nervous :)))

i know i say this literally every time but the description combined with the previously on has me so fuckin concerned

yay! my favorite son gets to go first! :D

“it's a cliffbar” ilu clint

clifford hanger

chomper fish

isn't there a map of kepler they're working off of?

10 miles is like a fifteen minute drive, pretty chill

oh great, can't wait to see how duck tries to explain this lmao

"i like this person immediately" me too trav me too

duck are you just assuming she knows you're a ranger or...?

b e a r a b o u t s

i fucking love you duck newton, holy shit

YEAH, GO DUCK! :D

"i can't either" poor griffin lmao

we are indeed! also wondering what happened to the whole heathcliff artifact gathering quest since there hasn’t been one this arc :P

"explain homestuck to me" JUSTIN ILU SO MUCH

i love these good brothers

god i love this woman, she has no name yet i love her so much

"i've got the only weapon i need... hidin' like a chicken shit" bless you duck newton 

1988... so thirty years before if this is still set in 2018? that’s definitely significant

oh damn, it does look really cool :o

some secure building then lmao

duck you don't need to keep up the bear lie oh my god

welp, we have our ren of the arc lol

aww duck my sweet stoner boy

"yes" trav ilu

abandoned buildings are super creepy and i love them

ilu clint omg

wainscoting??? oh its those line thingies, okay

i was gonna say, maybe use the magic thing 

wasn’t he the aliens guy?

aww, eugine is a sweety

"eugine's no narc" bless

clint is on his game this season and i love it

nice! good travis rolls

she has???

oh nooo, spooky dead boyd music :(

our lady of bank

WELL THAT'S NOT GOOD, THAT'S VERY NOT GOOD

another lovely middle name for ned

do not make this poor boy into another leon omg

dang, they’re having some great rolls today, this makes up for all the failures last week and then some

there are two different characters named dani??? fair enough considering there were like ten different jerry’s in balance 

i've missed griffin's johann voice lmao

not liking the fact that this confirms the idea that the abomination shifted into ned to kill boyd :)))

"kind of a rust" ...so another red robe

oh his name’s denny, okay

yup, that confirms it!

yay! happy birthday griffin :D

duck there is no need to lie here

hmmm... so whatever this beam is it came from the abomination then?

this character is so good, i've forgotten her name already but i love her

g o o g a b i t e s 

that's super fucking cool!!!

OH SHIT IT'S MINERVA

well that is very suspicious :/

aubrey you do not have a good track record for grabbing shit

"hard move time" YIKES

RUN AWAY AUBREY RUN AWAY

i have never heard detritus pronounced that way before omg

AUBREY'S GOING TO FUCKING DIE

THAT'S VERY VERY BAD, GRIFFIN DO NOT KILL MY GIRL PLEASE

NICE! :D

well this a fun mental image

... so it’s tracking the pine guard? this is bad

if it’s stolen stern’s files then it’s been inside the lodge... i have a feeling our suspicions that the dani ned ran into while stealing shade tree wasn’t the real dani might be correct 

aubrey you dipshit you are hurt, you are going to die if you don't get healed, don't take on this thing right now

AUBREY PLEASE DO NOT DIE

OH NO, BAD MUSIC, BAD BAD BAD, I AM INSTANTLY ANXIOUS

so it put all of ned's things back??? ... oh no, oooooh no

THIS ARC IS NOT GOING TO END WELL HOLY SHIT

i'm willing to bet those hand prints are going to match up to ned

"like a golden corral" brutal 

ned don't answer t- god dammit ned >:|

clint you are a national treasure

eww, eww eww eww :(

"we're not gonna go to fantasy costco, give him the $35 dollars!" bless you justin 

NED THERE IS A DEAD MAN YOU ARE AT RISK OF BEING FRAMED FOR MURDERING NOW IS NO TIME TO GOOF

BEGONE KNAVE

bless you for giving us ned's thought process there clint

OH NO, OH NO, THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD, NO NO NO

FUCK GRIFFIN THIS IS GOOD PRODUCTION VALUE BUT I'M SCARED AS SHIT RIGHT NOW

THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD BUT I AM FUCKING TERRIFIED BEYOND BELIEF, THIS IS SO BAD, THIS IS SO VERY BAD

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY IT'S ALL GONE TO SHIT

[ghosty-schnibibit]

SO HOW ABOUT THAT NEW TAZ EP

full disclosure, the back third of this liveblog is pretty much pure capslock, i just got done listening to this on two hours of sleep after having written an entire ass medieval history essay in one night along with my final in my shakespeare class at nine am today, i had a lot of emotions and just went full karkat on that shit

WE'RE PRETTY NERVOUS TOO GRIFFIN

oh no, poor justin lol

"the memes for ned have been pretty hot lately" YA DON'T SAY GRIFFY

ned you dipshit i love you

ned's been practicing his cantrips lmao

loving ned's instincts to go back to his partners

p r o f e s s o r  f i l e s

oooooh boy this is really not great, maybe don't go where everyone will probably want to kill you ned :|

G L U E Y

WAIT WHAT???

THIS IS NOT DANI, THIS IS NOT DANI

oh thank good ned has caught on

YEP DANI WASN'T DANI IN THE LODGE EITHER, CALLED IT

OH JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THIS IS TERRIFYING

oh nice, go strategy ned!

ned as the weird uncle is a good character summation

god bless you travis for putting this much thought into this

1. pendant, 2. confusion, 3. anger

i love you my impulsive daughter so much

"it fits you perfectly" i... i am legit tearing up, holy shit, god damn griffin

huh. that's interesting. i'm gonna go on a quick little theory tangent: i think that the flamebright pendent is a missing chunk of sylvain, specifically the chunk that had the last remnants of sylvain, the entity, within it. aubrey's mom mentioned that she was wearing it when she gave birth to aubrey, right? i think the reason there's no magic in the pendant now was because it was all transferred into aubrey when she was born. she's a reincarnation of sylvain. that's my theory and i'm sticking to it.

JAKE! YAY JAKE!

"i'm sorry to cuss" JAKE MY PRECIOUS BABY BOY

are they going to barricade the lodge?

THAT'S NOT GREAT

oh jake you sweet little angel i love you

"I CAN'T REMEMBER UNLESS I'M IN THE DAMN CAR JAKE" if that is not the biggest mood i don’t know what is

correct! very good!

frasier dad energy

JOHN MULANEY

justin has so many fun stories

i love you griffin lol

i don't think its a test there rachel

NICE! go duck! :D

VERY BAD MUSIC, VERY GOOD BUT VERY BAD MUSIC

OH HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS TERRIFYING

OH GOD IT'S THE FUCKING BLOB FROM INSIDE

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'M SO SCARED RIGHT NOW OH MY FUCKING GOD

PLEASE TELL ME DUCK AT LEAST HAS BEACON ON HIM

OH HOLY FUCK NO, HELP FARGO LADY PLEASE

i love duck so much and i am so fucking scared for him

"that worked well" god i want to listen to that mbmbam bit now

burgley :D

god that's some beautiful visuals griffin

oh no, i knew this moment was coming and i'm still not prepared

i have not felt this much emotion since the balance finale and i'm shaking

oh my god travis this is some stellar emotion

... holy shit, clint mcelroy, that was the most heart-wrenching vocal performance i have ever witnessed in my life and i'm crying for ned, holy fucking shit 

"what did you do?" i am f l o o r e d

aww boyd :'(

this level of complexity to ned as being pushed into escalating gigs he isn't comfortable with by boyd is making me so sad, i can really get all the "you ruined my life" talk from ned now

god this entire scene is just... god this is so sad

oh my god ned that is so dumb looking holy shit

... was he legit trying to warn her dad about boyd?

don't discourage this griffin i love this, i love getting ned's inner thoughts

the mental image of little eighteen y/o aubrey just grabbing a tennis racket and going to face a murderer is just... oh you poor baby :’(

"gotta be true to ned" damn clint you are so good this season

OH MY GOD NO NED DO NOT

holy shit i do not feel bad about boyd being murdered by the abomination anymore, what a monster, goddamn

jesus christ clint these rolls are so bad

"well congratulations" love the sarcasm there griffy

... he's going to hit her isn't he

where's the mom where's the mom where's the mom

OH SHIT

OH MY GOD AUBREY HOLY SHIT

JESUS THIS IS NOT GOOD, THIS IS VERY NOT GOOD

oh god ned

aubrey i'm s o b b i n g

jesus christ i was not emotionally prepared for this episode, god damn

YEP! YEP IT IS!!! I'M GONNA GO MAKE THAT TEA BECAUSE I'M VERY UPSET!!!!!

i'm so hype for rockport limited but i'm so upset still

oh dang i'll have graduated by then :o

"THAT'S ABOUT ZILCHO" I LOVE YOU DUCK YOU BRILLIANT BOY

YES USE THE LUCK TO SAVE FARGO LADY

OH NO OH NO OH NO

god i fucking love you justin mcelroy

NICE! THANK YOU DICE GODS FOR SPARRING MY BOY!!!

i love duck and i love his dynamic with literally every character he interacts with

OH NO NOT THE SPOOKY MUSIC AGAIN

LEO NO HOLY FUCKING SHIT

... is ned going to leave kepler??? oh my god

OH NOPE THAT'S THE ABOMINATION NOISE

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO TERRIBLE OH MY GOD, THIS EPISODE IS SO BODY HORROR HEAVY

"WHAT DID YOU TAKE FROM ME" IT'S LOSING ITS FORM BECAUSE OF THE THING NED STOLE AT THE HOTEL, THAT'S WHY IT'S DYING, OH MY GOD, HOW DID I NOT MAKE THAT CONNECTION BEFORE

EVERYTHING YOU'RE DESCRIBING IS HORRIFYING GRIFFIN HOLY SHIT

JESUS CHRIST THAT SUDDEN VOICE CHANGE GRIFFIN

i am so worried about ned 

"it doesn't make sense to the spider when you step on it" JESUS CHRIST GRIFFIN

... i am not liking the way he just paused there. i am not liking the way he's acting like he knows what's going to happen. reeeally not liking the implication that maybe indrid is linked to this somehow

NICE, NICE, NICE, GO NED! GO NED! GO NED!

YEEEEEAH, GO NED!!!!!

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST GRIFFIN

OH MY GOD, THIS IS ALL HAPPENING BEFORE IT GOT TO DUCK, I NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE A MAP OF THE TIMELINE OF THIS EPISODE BECAUSE I'M SO CONFUSED

griffin you have put me through the ringer tonight you do not get to kill leo on me after all this shit you've done to me this episode

"say you're sorry first!" god i fucking love duck newton with all my heart

OH NO, OH GOD LEO'S GOING TO DIE

"i don't think i'm going to do the obvious one" you mean killing leo

WAIT WOULD DUCK HAVE DIED IF HE HADN'T LEVELED UP JUST THEN?????

NOOOOOOOOOO LEO HOLY FUCKING SHIT NO

OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK THEY'VE FIGURED OUT HOW TO NOT DIE WITHOUT FORMS??? OH MY GOD WHAT IS GOING ON?????

whenever griffin says "we see" i get scared

MINERVA :DDDDD

EVERYTHING IS SAD AND HORRIBLE AND TERRIFYING BUT AT LEAST WE GOT MINERVA BACK

[ghosty-schnibibit]

new amnesty liveblog ^u^

i'm actually listening to this between classes in my college's science building. i wasn’t expecting it to drop this early in the day and i’ve got like... three different essays to write later (gotta love midterms that got super delayed because of hurricanes -_-;;) so i’m just gonna listen now :P

justin asking the hard questions lmao

i haven't seen any, and i hope i never see any

jesus why is this happening

l i l  p a r t n e r

duck this is maybe a bad idea? maybe?

yes, please hug the goat man 

griffin's goat english is very good

i want to know what this means but we're only like six minutes in and i'm so invested, griffin how do you do this

i love this goat buddy

aww :'(

GOAT WEED

multiple ducks

clint no

"okay, i am now billy" nice

oh snap :o

i'm with you here barclay 

... is aubrey still wearing shades? what does barclay think of this?

P I Z Z A 

i never thought about how much i laugh at this show and make weird ass faces until i had to do it quietly in a venue where people can see me

"you did a good job connecting it to canon" griffin ilu

it's gonna be indrid again, calling it based on the description

"this is some i am groot shit" "oh very much so" ... please tell me this is not another davenport situation, i will cry

nice! good roll!

all i can picture is journal 3 r/n 

is ned going to find out more about the weird glowy dude from the end of the water arc??? 

"fur folk" you can say furries griffin it's okay

so has stern just been like... living in amnesty? wtf

indrid! my boy! :D

that relatable dm moment

duck is my favorite, my good polite boy

i would die for indrid 

OH NO WHAT

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK

OH NO ITS THE SPOOKY MUSIC

OH NO THIS IS BAD, NO NO NO

OKAY, WELP, I'M NOT FUCKING SLEEPING TONIGHT, OR ANY NIGHT EVER AGAIN

"this is the aesthetic ideal of ned chicane" love it, love it

aww billy

HOW DO YOU DO A VERTICAL TACKLE DUCK???

“like trying to catch a bat” CATCH HIM DERRY

"it could become a fight" rowdy boy duck

oh fuck has duck been contaminated?????

travis what are you doing

bless you justin

"alchemize" griffin are you aware that is a homestuck word

THIS IS BAD, THIS IS VERY BAD

oh snap

hell yeah, good rolls! 

BAD IDEA THERE DUCK

“the scruff of the tatters” love that mental image

what are you doing ned???

PFFFF HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THIS

NICE :D

safe-rooms don't typically have windows grif

jesus this is bad, very very bad, how are they going to explain this to mama???

god i'm so excited for the motrl graphic novel

WHAT IS THIS SONG JUSTIN

oh dang is this a second recording?

yay, my boy :D

travis you are saying this while aubrey has an orange eye that she is hiding from everyone

oh duck, i love you so much, my bad liar boy

griffin don't tease me like this, its still in the low 60's where i am and i'd kill for that kind of weather

i love this flavor

jesus indrid 0_0

"no that sounded douchey" god i fucking love indrid

what is this scene even

that sounds unpleasant and sticky :|

... is that a reference to that one nick cage movie

WAIT WHAT, INDRID CAN DO THAT??? is this just a thing all sylphs can do, or is this a specifically indrid thing? did he make the disguises for everyone in the lodge? i need to know this griffin

oh nice, go ned

no ned, he listens to duck :T

oh snap, is that theory about it targeting duck right?

"you say it like it spoiled and turned to ash in your mouth” this is a really good line but also i love duck “it’s a nickname“ newton being so defensive about his deceased friend’s nickname

griffin is desperate to prevent another barry bluejeans lmao

"or gal or non-binary individual" bless

awww, that's so cute

indrid you garbage boy ilu

good god i love you duck

duck you're not going to get any fucking weregild out of a goatman

awww billy you baby :)

"i've googled goat anatomy" to be fair i would also google that in this scenario :/

the tradition of making taz npcs look like celebrities continues

d u c k  d u c k  g o s l i n g

i was literally listening to the last mbmbam on my morning commute, this is surreal omg

god i love these boys :')

final thoughts: this was such a mostly fun/goofy ep after how super intense the previous two were and i'm grateful for that tbh, this arc needed some levity. also more of my favorite moth son! yay! 

see you guys again on the first! ^u^

[ghosty-schnibibit]
