#i need to relisten to balance

[eyecosahedron]

I love the implications of the seven birds being from a more technologically advanced world than faerun (knowledge of TV, understanding of machine guns "count the shells", using microphones ect) because how many things was Lucretia not able to erase? Across 99 planes, it's impossible that she managed to get everything. And how well was she really able to introduce the more medieval concepts of faerun into their memories?

What did the THB think everyone was doing just waving swords around rather than pulling out guns; did they just accept it and move on? Imagine Lucretia trying to explain them to a weapons development department of the BoB to equip her employees. Lucretia, a records keeper, who cannot have a great understanding of the inner workings of firearms. Vaguely describing rectangles that explode to a reception of horrified looks.

Or Taako repeatedly asking Sazed to supply him with various kitchen utensils he insists are vital for the recipe that just Do Not Exist. Magnus, complaining that he can't play little games on his stone of farspeech, while everyone around is completely baffled at the concept. Everyone around them not only not getting their pop culture references, but being fundamentally incapable of understanding them.

I just think there is something so funny about them functionally time travelling and then promptly forgetting they were from a different era at all. And just. Having to get on with it.

There’s something about how long it takes Justin to figure out Taako as a character and in that same way it takes Taako so long to figure out who he is because both of them are missing half his heart. Both of them were missing the most vital piece of Taako.

what happened with mp100 fanarts?

??? 😭 nothing happened, the mental illness just declared that I must hyperfixate on Gravity Falls for the moment, so that’s what I’m doing

unfortunately i'm thinking about blake again. specifically about the way he uses imp!james' "down, down, down" hypno technique on bestie TWICE, which i didn't realize until last night despite listening to the confession audio as a sleep aid about sixteen times in the last two weeks

[dullahandyke]

im being normal (reminded himself of magnus choking out johann and accidentally breaking his harp, and taking the time to fix it for him, and then next time we cut to johann his body is trampled and dead [in part because magnus knocked him unconscious even if he likely would have died anyway] and how magnus who fixed his harp is the one to feed his symphony to the voidfish and how this is how johann got his immortality)

can’t stop thinking about a taz balance cartoon in the style of arcane like sweet god can you imagine how beautiful that would be i need it

[sneeg-snag]

i get when people are like “jrwi is a comedy podcast why r y’all so pressed” and it’s like. yeah i defo think of jrwi as comedy and fun goofs. but there are definitely some times i wish it let itself be a little more sincere at moments instead of trying to undermine literally every thing with a joke. one good example is like the adventure zone:balance!!! like literally one of the main characters is named “takko” and his sisters name is a play on chalupa and they call themselves the tres horny boys and like they literally shoot themselves out of the moon and merle has verbal sex with a plant, but i still feel like it’s one of the most sincere stories i’ve ever heard. and like i know jrwi is literally just them kinda fucking around but there are moments where i’m like man… :( i wish there wasn’t a bit going on rn :(

[lomakes]

Did you just get into Critical Role? If so, how much have you watched and what are you thinking so far?

Yeah! I got into it a little over a month ago after first trying years ago sjbdn

I'm on episode 44 of cr2! But I already know like all the big spoilers and stuff and I think it's fair to assume I have become obsessed with it BDBDBD I think it's obvious who my favourite character is

Voidfish (Plural) - Cover of Voidfish Duet by Griffin McElroy, from The ...

It's been 6 years and this song still makes me cry

[yu3s]

** i think reading dungeon meshi and frieren and witch hat atelier at the same time does something irreversibleto you... .

[paramoregf]

ik the magnus archives became cringe on here near the end but damn they had some bangers

[dentpx]

The thing about TAZ is that when Griffin railroads his players and introduces NPCs its iconic and in service of a greater narrative and when Travis does it it simply isn’t

[Image description: a comic of Taako and Trent the Treant from The Adventure Zone, in a cartoony style with gray shading. Taako is a skinny elf with braided hair, a patched-up cloak, and half-lidded eyes. Looking disinterested, he says: "So. Just born, huh."

Trent, an anthropomorphic tree stump, smiles and replies: "Yeah! I'm Trent the Treant!"

He tries to continue: "I was just born today!" before a massive beam of energy blasts into his face and through his body.

Taako's eyes widen as he grins, and says: "Welcome to Earth." From offscreen, someone says: "Taako WTF". End ID.]

“chaotic good”

It is the year of our lord 2024 and the ending of taz: balance still makes me cry like a baby
