Really afraid that the final TAZ graphic novel is gonna have Taako forgive Lucretia. I love the comics, I’m glad they exist, but I’ve found myself frustrated with a lot of the changes they’ve made, and in particular how those changes have softened the characters to make them more palatable. A good example is in Taako’s Glamour Springs flashback, his first reaction to seeing people getting sick is to call for help, rather than turn tail and run as he did in the podcast. That’s a huge change to Taako’s characterization, and in my opinion not a change that benefits the story.

The crossover that nobody asked for.

I love Stardew Valley, it's such a comfortable game to play, but the plot feels a little light at times. I bet it would be more compelling if the farmer had amnesia, crippling substance dependence and was suffering so much mental degradation that he thought his clothes were speaking to him.

Happy Birthday to Gavin ( ﾉ ﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ

(as usual, I added a bunch of my headcanons and my favourite AU to the comic, so it's a wild mix)

maybe he'll make Gavin give up smoking

He’s coping

some of you aren’t even perverts you just have normal sexual desires that you are ashamed of

every time someone calls a cis man an egg because he decides to deviate even slightly from traditional masculine gender norms, an angel loses its wings

[asinglecoughdrop]

I don't know if any of the heist crew even conceptualize themselves as gay. or bi. or any defined sexuality. I think even that level of introspection is too much for them

Unreliable narrators are one hell of an idea. You can just write whatever, and if a reader points out "hey the way this scene happened should not be physically possible if it's done the way this character described it", you can just be like "yeah I don't trust that fucker either."

dont play defense

Okay one thing I really love about the first episode of Taz Royale is how beautifully the introduction plays to the players’ strengths. Like Travis LOVES a backstory, always has, and so giving him the Past vision gave him the chance to flesh that out for us. Like, Magnus’ pages of backstory when they thought TAZ Balance was going to be a one shot (LMAO) or Devo Mutt Beef still having fairly solid origins even in the ‘guys we’re not doing backstories’ campaigns. And of course Travis pops off with a giant cast of backstory characters to work with, trauma to pull from, and giant character motivation that’s simultaneously tragic and hilarious!

Versus Justin being in the Present. I’m fairly certain in a ttazz for Ethersea he had this discussion about wanting Amber to be a very present character, and preferring the now adventure to a backstory the audience can’t fully engage with. And I think his philosophy on that very much bled through Steeplechase, Justin leans into the improv and building things on the fly. Like the entire Nanofather! So giving him a near immediate present to jump off and immediately launch into establishing personality and a rivalry dynamic that’s immediately relevant and ready to unfold is right up Justin’s alley.

And with Clint, Future space janitor just works really well cause I think Clint usually takes a little time to get a solid grasp of his characters. Frequently he’ll drop a little comment or a scene near the end of the campaign that just utterly reframes my understanding of the character. Like, all of Merle and John but also like the fact he has kids, or Zoox becoming the Mind Melder guy tm. I almost always appreciate his characters more on a relisten. So, having his character start with a vision of a future to build towards (and an INSANELY compelling one at that) is just perfect.

Like, obviously the season just started, but I can just feel Griffin’s years of DMing this specific group and it’s really cool to see.

I need someone older and wiser to explain why that scratch mark is on Nick's boob, because its obv to add to that womanizing personality he has but the only way that location makes sense is if he's getting pegged

Asgore Dreemurr (Deltarune) and Harrier Du Bois (Disco Elysium) are 100% interchangeable and if they swapped places their stories would play out the exact same way as before
