Or scream at the top of your lungs at work because it’s not a book, and is in fact, TAZ Balance podcast

When a plot twist is so cleverly done that you just close your book and stare at the wall for a while.

Hey if there are any MBMBaM/TAZ fans willing to help me find a specific Jumbotron, I’m very frustrated that I can’t find it and would sooo appreciate help. It wasn’t to me, but it was adressed to a Rebecca (or Rebekah, etc.) and it was read by Griffin. It starts off with him sounding kinda aggressive, saying ��Hey, Rebecca??” repeatedly with different inflections, and then he says, “You’re great.” I think it was MBMBaM, but I’m not gonna rule out TAZ, though if it were TAZ it would either have been in Commitment or a live show that aired after Balanace’s finale. If it was MBMBaM I have some certainty that it aired some time between August and November 7th, 2017, though considering I haven’t found it yet, it’s possible it was somewhat earlier.

There is also a very slight chance it was in a Wonderful! ep, but I believe I checked all of the possibilities there.

Thanks in advance! I feel like I’m going crazy because I haven’t found it yet.

So i was wondering if justin actually did say Bubbalah or bubbeleh during the taz balance arc, like i am not sure if he did or if its just something people accept Taako would say from fanfics??? Could someone point it out where if he does say it? I have a bet going lol.

Inktober day 7: Enchanted

Charles Dickens was a crazy son of a botch who like was a master of writing long ass novels no one past the year 1960 had the time to read and of writing really compelling memorable characters. And like I remember this from a speech the greatest lit teacher ever gave me so bear with me here. Dickens’s characters were always well characterized partly bc that dude was super good at character voices. He was great at writing unique character dialogue. Like stupidly great. One of the things he would do was give each of his characters little catchphrases to fall back onto. They say it a few times and yeah man. That sure is one great sounding character Charlie

The point I’m trying to make here is that Justin fucking McElroy does the exact same thing. Taako you know from tv. Augustus Parsons the spectral form of the man who was once known as Augustus Parsons of the Augustus Parsons Cashew Company. Duck Newton it’s a nickname. Modern day charlie dickens if that wordy mf talked into a microphone instead of making me deal with Scrooge what’s his face every holiday session I rest my case.

Northern Migration: Chapter 13 Notes + Next Chapter Preview

  It’s finally here! The start of the next relic arc. I hope you guys are ready for everything is arc is going to contain, because I’ve sure as hell been dying to get to it. Remember to give the chapter [13: In Which Julia Receives a Very Special Invitation] a read before looking through this as there are many spoilers within.

Spoilers Ahead!

Angus MacDonald is back in the story, now with backstory! I know that most people stick to a runaway narrative for him, but with all the world building I’ve been doing with the lords, I figured that it would be more fitting to give Angus a noble title. In case it was unclear: noble titles in Faerun are based solely on land ownership. Since Angus’s grandfather gambled away all of the lands, Angus has essentially lost his right to lordship. He definitely doesn’t mind, though. He much rather prefers being a detective.

For anyone curious, Angus’s other mom is named Adeline. All of his family members are named in honor of Sherlock Holmes references (Irene and Adeline for Irene Adler; Benedict MacDonald for you know).

One day, I’m going to figure out a way to get the entire psuedo-BOB origin story nicely incorporated into this fic without having to make, like, a really big one shot for it. There’s a lot that went into this ragtag team finding each other and stumbling upon this common goal. But it’s also more fun to just reveal everything about it in bits and pieces, so…

Can I just ignore the character arc Artemis Sterling had in the original show and give him a new one? Is that legal? Can I do that?

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but there’s something innately satisfying about writing Magnus as a very good but also very unsure dad. It’s made even better by the fact that I was that kind of kid that never spoke up about her feelings even when being asked about them. It’s just fun, guys.

The story of the Bard and the Raven Queen is actually more than just fluffy world building. Give it ten chapters and you’ll see how relevant it’s going to be.

Brad Bradson was bound to be a minor character in this. I know it must be getting annoying that everyone seems to know each other in one form or another, but like. It’s such an easy way out of having to write character introductions. Let me live.

This Taako reveal scene has literally been planned since the beginning, down to have Julia be the first one to find him. While I think I could’ve added a bit more tension to all of it, I’m also fairly happy with how it came out. 

Yes, you’re suppose to have figure out by now pretty much exactly what happened to Taako. We’re not keeping any of this a coy secret. I want you all to feel the tension of everyone in the story not realizing the truth. Consider yourselves lucky because I almost didn’t include the Taako POV scene a few chapters back. Imagine getting all of this without any foreshadowing. Imagine.

And lastly, here’s a preview of the next chapter:

When Julia wakes up, she sees both Brad and the dragonborn woman from the bar crouching next to her. Brad has a hand hovering over her chest, whistling through a song of healing. She blinks, head swimming when his eyes meets her. “How are you feeling?” he asks.

“Uh…” The lamp above her head is too bright, and she squints to alieve the pain the glow of its fire causes. She tried to lift an arm, but gasps when her muscles scream their protest. “Holy fucking shit—fuck that’s a bitch.”

“I called Magnus,” Brad says. “He says he’s coming, so just hang in there tight.”

Julia makes a noise that could be an agreement, feeling herself sink deeper into the rumble. Her head clears more, and she can start to see how the wall of the tavern had crumbled from the impact. A particular broken wood board digs into her back, and she wants nothing more than to get it away from her, but the slightest twitch of her fingers makes jolts of agony travel through her nerves. People try to stare and spectate, but the dragonborn woman glares until many feel too embarrassed to stay. Julia swallows, gathering the strength to raise her voice above Brad’s whistling. “Hey,” she croaks. “What—who are you?”

Yellow eyes dart to her. “Just a rogue who’s kinda curious.” She holds up a blue envelop, one garnished in an overload of glitter and calligraphy. “So just to let you know—I read this and it’s kinda fucked up.”

“Julia!” Magnus pushes his way through the tavern door, knocking aside a poor dwarf trying to leave. He’s pale, soaking wet as his chest heaves. Stevie sits on his back, trying to clutch both their wet shopping bags and his shirt for dear life. Julia’s sure he ran from the craftsmen district to downtown in the pouring rain, a fact she’s only more sure of the moment he sees her. He gasps, somehow getting paler, and barrels through the tables and chairs littering his path. “Oh my god—Jules, are you alright?”
