Hi I’m like a year late to the party but I genuinely can’t believe smpronpa has been found I can’t explain how much that fic and the online experience surrounding it impacted my brainwaves at the ripe age of 16 like here I am 5 years later still randomly thinking about it and searching for it online

Like I was reading it while it was still in progress before it was finished and I was actually in the process of rereading it when it got deleted shit was crazy

That fic was actually the catalyst for me discovering and getting into danganronpa after smplive ended

Anyways I’m just so happy that it’s no longer lost media I’m so excited to read it again

finally drawing what was the most iconic moment in balance for me

[doot-doot-cats]

So I read this fic (I'll link it in the notes) in which there was this very emotional parallel between Taako realizing he has a sister for the first time, and post-Stolen Century Taako remembering that he has a sister. Just had to illustrate it :')

the wizards pondering their orb or whatever i didn't watch the adventure zone

ID: First image is digital art of the IPRE crew gathered around the Light of Creation, a pale blue ball of light, currently resting on a table. They are all dressed in red robes and appear to be having an intense discussion. On the far left is Lucretia, a human woman with short, curly hair. She is holding a book in one hand and pointing at the light with a pencil. On her right is Davenport, a gnomish man with neat looking hair and mustache. He is leaning one elbow on the table and resting his other hand on his hip. On Lucretia's left is Lup, an elven woman with shoulder-length curly hair, slight build, and freckles. She in angrily thowing her hands up in the air. To Lup's left is Magnus, a human man with short hair, muscular build, and thick sideburns. He is leaning on the back of a chair and is starin at the light of creation with the only bored expression in the group. Next to Magnus is Barry, another human man with a chubby build, short hair, and glasses. He is vaguely gesturing with open palms. Next to him is Taako, an elven man with long, curly hair, a slight build, and freckls. He is rubbing his forehead with a hand. Next to Taako is Merle, an older dwarvish man with a beard and a receding hairline. He is gesturing one hand at the light. The second image is a close up of Magnus with everyone around him blurred out. A caption pointing to him reads, "zoned out 20 minutes ago." End ID

balance is a love story

[id: ten screenshots of transcripts. 

“Lucretia: I can do this Magnus, please, [voice starts to become staticky and fade] please just lie down, I don’t want you to fall and hurt yourself. I love you, Magnus, I love all of you. I’m sorry, it’ll be over soon.”

“Justin: And Taako walks over to Angus. Taako: Hey, um, cool knife. You know he has a sword that’s on fire, right? So, just before you get too excited, he did just give you a knife, I just want you to remember who’s your dude? Who’s your dude? Griffin: He runs over and he just grabs on to you, um, and also gives you a big, weepy hug.”

“Looking back, this performance is where that love that Barry and Lup cultivated quietly and cautiously over the last half century truly bloomed. There was romance in every measure, and longing in every note. And after the performance, they- they take each other’s hands high in the air, and they swoop down for this over-the-top bow, just laughing at- at the drama of it all. And the audience cheers. And Barry and Lup laugh, and they don’t let each other’s hands go. And then they stop laughing, and they don’t let each other’s hands go. And they keep not letting go. And Lup says,  Lup: Barry, do you wanna go talk somewhere for a while? Griffin: And Barry says,  Barry: [Wholeheartedly] Yeah.”

“Taako: Well I’m not leaving without Barry.”

“Magnus: I’m so sorry I forgot you, buddy. I’m so sorry.  Griffin: Um, it lifts up one of its tendrils and puts it on your shoulder. Travis: I lean my head in so that my forehead’s pushing against it and I start humming.”

“Taako: Am I…? I’m not going to lose you again.  Griffin: She says, Lup: Never. Never again, bud.  Griffin: And floats over and hugs you and says, Lup: Please don’t die.  Taako: I’d say the same to you, but that ship done sailed, eh?”

“Travis: I-I just stare at her. Not in a dumbfounded way, not in a I-can’t-believe-it way, but just. I can’t not look at her.  Griffin: She sets her tools down, and she smiles, and she says, Julia: You lived so much longer than I thought you were going to! Magnus: [tearfully] I know, I’m sorry I made you wait. Griffin: I think she starts running towards you, and you start running towards her, and you embrace in front of this house, and the two dogs are just kind of weaving around your feet as you stand there for what feels like hours, and- Travis: I whisper in her ear, Magnus: [tearfully] I tried to make you proud.”

“Lup: Barry already gave me a day. And… I love him, Taako, with all of my heart, but you… I needed a day from you, because you are my heart. You know that, right?”

“Griffin: She… smiles and she says,  Mavis: Well, you’re my hero too, dad, not just because you saved the world, but… because… I know how hard you’re trying.  Griffin: And she comes in for a hug, and she says, Mavis: I–I love you, dad. Merle: [softly] I love you too, baby.”

“Clint: Starbuck- okay. Um, if it’s about the finale, the one time I can remember crying was, um… was Merle’s last scene with, uh- stop looking at me, Juice- Merle’s last scene with Mavis, when, uh, she talked about how proud she was of how well he was doing, and he said “I love you, baby”, because that was- that was kinda me telling you guys the same thing.”

five joining the commission:

[doot-doot-cats]

One of my favorite categories of taz headcanon is “random stuff lucretia forgot to erase”

The classic “elves in Faerun don’t echolocate”

The one where Magnus jumps up behind Davenport as part of rogue training and Davenport yells “Magnus, stop doing that!!!” 100% reflexively

A fic I read one time where Taako and Magnus got into some lengthy debate about Fantasy Iron Chef or Fantasy Survivor or something while a local with no concept of television listened in like “How?? Were you watching these people???  Guys??”

Magnus stripping naked in front of Lucretia doesn’t twig as weird to anyone in the room

Davenport can’t hold a conversation, but he can and will destroy you at any strategy game you put in front of him

Addendum: sometimes he and Merle play some sort of elaborately house ruled poker with a tarot deck and no one else can figure out what’s going on but they don’t seem to be improvising and they never actually discussed the house rules before implementing them?

Magnus punches a plate of cookies out of Avi’s hands because those have hazelnuts in them and don’t you know the Director is allergic?? (He didn’t know.  Nobody knew.  Merle and Taako knew)

Merle starts up some drinking song that nobody on this entire moon has ever heard before but Magnus jumps right in.  Taako rolls his eyes but joins in on the chorus.  The Director can correctly identify it within two lines.

Lydia and Edward actually have no freaking clue what Dupree is (malformed dragon?) but Merle and Magnus are just “ah yes.  A t-rex”

Barry Bluejeans is a fighter but that one mission involving a necromancer he recognized the ritual immediately and made fun of the guy for using an inefficient circle.

Content like that.  I live for it.

[doot-doot-cats]

One of the funniest parts about being aromantic is the fact that I never realize two characters have some sort of romantic feelings for each other unless they explicitly state it. Like I will be completely shocked and my friends will just be like yeah they were hinting it for awhile

[doot-doot-cats]

i see no difference

[doot-doot-cats]

not even joking news publications and articles only ever seem to use one fucking picture of dorothy zbornak and its this one

I would like to personally apologize to every teacher whose projects I overthought as a kid to the point that I could barely do them
