Just some thoughts about my fencing experience and TAZ Balance

(Long post by the way and I’m on mobile which means I can’t do a under the cut thing so keep reading if you want)

I started listening to TAZ (the adventure zone) in the summer of 2019

That summer was, not perfect by any means, but I had a lot of fun

I got a grant from my school to research shit

I did well enough at the divisional qualifier (after not having officially competed in a year or two) that I got to fence in Div 2 and 3 at nationals

(I literally spent 2017/18 just doing footwork and being a punching bag at the academy but when I studied abroad, I started fencing again and literally the weekend I got back was the qualifier)

Nationals that year were in Columbus, Ohio

I drove there from my parents place in VA

It was about 6 or 8 hours each way

I had already started TAZ Balance and I think I was a little after the middle of it

So I finished it while on that trip

And I honestly think that the finale, the bard narrating and inspiring everyone to fight, that hope is not lost and that they are indeed legends

That Magnus isn’t dead and him bursting through the door and Lucretia just absolutely overwhelmed that he’s alive and well and here even if he’s angry and hurt by what she’s done

He’s alive and that’s what matters, that’s what’s important

All of that, the boys fighting with Lucretia to help her in her mission to protect not only her dearest friends but the entire world-at one point entirely alone after losing her family

That the final fight she isn’t alone, she’s finally got her family back and she has her friends from the bureau

All these people willing to put their life in her hands knowing this fight could end their lives and deciding it’s worth it

It means so much to me

Even now in the year 2021

I’m tearing up writing this because these guys, the party they were just normal people

They were normal people given an impossible task and out of sheer determination and insistence they did it

Merles refusal to give up on John, to get to know him and the fact that John, at his lowest point, he gives in

He gives in to Merles kindness and gives him the key to defeating the hunger as his final moment before he is destroyed

In his final moment that is what John does, he chooses his friendship with Merle, he realizes his mistakes and he does the only thing he can to destroy himself and the hunger to give Merle and the bureau a chance

Pan acknowledging that Merle’s original Pan isn’t him but saying that Merle is his Merle

Magnus, the fighter extraordinar who had to learn what real strength is and that his life is valuable, that he doesn’t need to throw himself head first into every fight

And Taako, Taako finally finding Lup

Taako finally being reunited with her, the one constant in his life, his twin, his best friend

Because Taako is his own person

But he’s been so alone

Of course that feeling gets pushed away with his friendship with the other two

But it’s still there, still present in the background

And Barry

Barry who has been looking for so long

Barry who knows who they are, what Lucretia has done

Barry who has spent so much time trying to find lup, his friends, to convince them he isn’t the enemy

Who must’ve driven himself insane trying to get his family and his partner back

The boys were constantly overwhelmed but they did it, they made it through to the other side and found their happy endings

And that helped me deal with nationals

I was starstruck at just the vast amount of people, vendors, even all of the strips

I had to get a new lame and mask (I got there the day before my first event) and was passive aggressively insulted by the two ladies at the vendor (I’m on the heavier side, not at all what the stereotypical fencer looks like)

I was hurt by that but I let it go and moved on to get my stuff checked

The epee coach/owner of the academy coached me and the other foilists because our coach couldn’t make it

My nationals before this

I broke down after I didn’t make the cut and he took me on a walk (to get me away from my family who dont know how to shut up) and he just talked me through it

I told him that I felt like I was in a million pieces, shattered to hell because I thought that would be my defining moment that I’d get a medal that I would prove that he and my coach hadn’t wasted their time and resources teaching and training me and I felt that I had screwed up so badly that they were going to be so disappointed in me

And he listened and he basically said there will be more tournaments, more chances, more opportunities

He said the only way to disappoint him or my coach was if I gave up

If I stopped trying

If I stopped caring

This time I didn’t make the cut

But I was able to smile and joke and laugh it off

Because I knew I probably wouldn’t make it

And it reminded me of all the times the boys messed up

All the times they had to keep pushing forward in the aftermath

When their consequences caught up with them

But they never failed

Because

They never gave up

And that is why they’re legends
