I’ll be stuck in the car for 4 hours total today so I’m going to try and get this TAZ Amnesty fan art done

I started relistening to Amnesty, I only made it to episode 17 when I first started it a few years ago and just never finished it for some reason, so better late than never I guess!

[motherfuckingmagicbrian]

assorted shitpost redraws from the last few weeks while I finish actual serious art

[motherfuckingmagicbrian]

Unauthorized Access

brand new warm and fresh 9k, rated T, taakitz fic!!!!

Summary: Okay, so Kravitz knows he shouldn't let the cute professor from the philosophy department(?) into the Arcane History Restricted Archives, but counterpoint, he just left his badge in the car, and he's very cute and funny, and what harm could it possibly do? What his mean boss doesn't know can't hurt him.

Taako is definitely not supposed to be here, but it's fine. The rules certainly don't matter when lives are on the line. And he's not about to get distracted.

Definitely a situation where two people think they are each in a very different genre than the other. Read it here!!

[id: workplace sign in red and white that says Restricted Area, Authorized Personnel Only with a red crossed out circle with a person icon. The sign has been filtered with rainbow, and purple hearts have been added.]

Heads up @interstellar-interloper I’m working on some more TAZ balance art, still of Taako lol

I found an old sketch that I redrew in procreate and made into a lil expression sheet

I had to take a break though cause my iPad died 😅 but hopefully it’ll be done by tonight!

If you (or anyone for that matter) have any TAZ or just art requests in general let me know!

Here’s a preview!

[motherfuckingmagicbrian]

doodle from a while ago inspired by the Ethersea fic lurelights on ao3! Not a day goes by where I don’t think about it

Taz vs Dracula episode 13 doodles

A nice cold PBR gives u advantage on fishing- but not noticing that Dracula's head(??????) Was in ur bags

[motherfuckingmagicbrian]

imagine u go on a fishing trip and instead of idk just releasing the fish or taking it home and eating it, you hit it with acid, give it the trout flu, stab it a bunch, and conjure a cone snail to poison it to death. Also draculas disembodied head is there and biting u. D&D is such a beautiful game.

taz balance one-shot recs!

I've been meaning to make this post for a while now, so here we are! The majority of these are from the past three years or so, because I love a fandom classic as much as anyone, but I particularly want to shine a light on some gems from after the peak of traffic in the fandom tags! There are of course also exceptions that are older, though.

Also, April 19th-21st are Just Leave a Comment Fest, so please show these authors some love!! They're all so deserving!

a recipe for home by @journalofimprobablethings: Taako tries to cook for the first time since Glamour Springs. When things go awry, Lucretia is there to lend a hand.

Gen (Taako & Lucretia), 3.5k. Early B.O.B. era hurt/comfort centered around cooking, with a delicious dollop of sentimentality and dramatic irony on top.

Seven Times Magnus Burnsides Gave Someone A Hug + One Time He Received One by @barry-j-blupjeans: Magnus wasn't really any good at— at words. He was more of an action man. Or, y'know, a "I'll take this hit so you don't have to" man. Talking to someone about their feelings was all kinds of weird, so usually he just left the space for someone else to talk. And, well... Magnus wasn't good at words. But there's a few different ways to get his support across.

Mostly gen with some Magnulia, 8.6k. You've all heard of the classic 5 Plus 1, but obviously Magnus deserves a 7 Plus 1! I don't know how to describe it without spoilers other than being full of incredibly sweet, gentle takes on so many fraught or bittersweet moments. Super underrated, do give it a read.

Embrace the Dark by @ceilingfan5: Bookstore coworkers Kravitz and Taako get more than they bargained for when Taako tries to use his powers to fix Kravitz's migraine. But it's okay--it's an excuse for them to spend time together until one of them can nut up and ask the other out.

Taakitz, 8.9k. Modern with Superpowers AU! Super sweet interactions between Kravitz and Taako, paired with lots of fun background worldbuilding. And, of course, a very special grilled cheese sandwich.

Break This Heavy Chain by Punka_Writes: In the immediate aftermath of Story and Song, Barry Bluejeans could really use a hug.

Blupjeans and misc. platonic interactions, 2.3k. The absolute epitome of comfort food in written form, with excellent Barry characterization (and of course, he does get that hug)!

birds of a feather steal sweaters together by @holdmecloser-gandydancer: When you're a big, burly guy it seems that your clothes just become free reign for all your friends. Normally Magnus is a reasonable guy, but everyone has their limits.

Gen (IPRE crew), 1.9k. Starblaster era fluff! Everyone is written absolutely delightfully, and every time I read it I snort out loud at least twice.

Security by @ceilingfan5: Barry has finally made it--his incredible scientific discovery has landed him a huge fortune...and a lot of problems. The only good thing that's come of it, honestly, has been his bodyguard, Lup. (And the science. That's good also.) He's just gotta stay normal about how nice it is to have someone like Lup around, and also not perish by way of press circuit, and everything will be fine.

Blupjeans, 6k. Modern with magic AU from Barry's POV, featuring equal parts anxiety and pining. Also, it's straight-up extremely funny.

Lonesome Dreams by @jerreeeeeee: Taako wakes up one morning from a nightmare, fast fading. There was a guy in glasses, and they were… somewhere high up? Something terrible happened, but he doesn’t remember. He wakes up in a wagon he’s never seen before, but it has his name on it. There’s tons of food inside, more than he’d be able to afford. And he’s alone. Thinking back to the last thing he remembers is difficult. College? No, he’d graduated. Top of his class, obviously, he remembers that. But what- what happened after? Where is Lup?

Gen (Taako & Lup), 10.2k. Everything starts out the same, except Taako remembers Lup, even if not how she went missing, and it's incredibly underrated and full of phenomenal characterization. I won't spoil how things shake out, but it's a great emotional ride and I genuinely reread it all the time.

it's my party and I'll mope if I want to by @holdmecloser-gandydancer: Taako's birthday is just another Thursday. A detective and an old friend have a different idea.

Gen (Taako & Lucretia & Angus), 2.1k. Short and so sweet! Fics about voidfished!Taako's birthday never get old, and this is one of my absolute favorites. Nailing the angst-to-wholesome ratio.

Tedious Familiarity by @barry-j-blupjeans: Déjà vu. Noun. A feeling of having already experienced the present situation. A tedious familiarity. Barry Bluejeans woke up in a cave, fresh out of a pod filled with green goop, and saddled with an unsettling feeling that he had been here before. If you had asked forty-year-old Barry if he would follow instructions left by a talking coin, he probably would have asked you what type of drugs you were on. But, y’know, fifty… two? Fifty-one? How old was he? Fifty-two sounded right. But, y’know, fifty-two years old Barry didn’t really have that many other places to turn, so this couldn't be all that bad.

Gen, 4.1k. Missing scenes based off Barry's decade alone, written in such an effective style, where all the little details truly make it. Mandatory reading for fellow Barry angst enjoyers.

Angus McDonald and the Wonderland Escape Rooms by coppersunshine: When Angus gets grounded from detecting, to keep his skills sharp he becomes a patron of the Wonderland Escape rooms, run by Edward and Lydia, who quickly decide he's their new nemesis. To their surprise, Angus and the collection of weird adults he's accompanied by decide otherwise.

Gen (Angus & Edward & Lydia), 7k. Modern with magic AU, putting Edward and Lydia in the absolute funniest possible job, at which a little boy detective torments... and maybe, even gives them a chance to turn over a new leaf. I am of the opinion that Angus and the Wonderland twins have a criminally underexplored dynamic, and this fic gave me everything I wanted.

If the Sun and Moon Should Doubt by Punka_Writes: Merle Highchurch, on the brink of a bad decision.

Gen, 1.6k. Merle character study immediately before running out on his marriage. Truly the incredible characterization that Merle deserves; this was a fic that really ignited my love for him.

Greensleeves by @sgrumby: Kravitz has never seen a lich like this before, and he's seen a lot of liches. Merle is just trying to save the universe, thanks very much.

Gen (Kravitz & Merle), 2.2k. A unique and also absolutely genius Lich!Merle AU where Kravitz inevitably comes after him, and Merle is... well, the Peacemaker, of course!

[motherfuckingmagicbrian]

I am BEGGING every single TAZ fan to listen to Eyes Closed by Imagine Dragons like actually LISTEN to it and think of Magnus Burnsides it's for him

[motherfuckingmagicbrian]

Relistening to taz balance and realizing that taako stops looking like lup during wonderland when he loses some of his beauty but with lups new body being grown from taakos after story and song, they would be identical again!!!!! thinking about taako being insecure about his face but eventually letting go of the glamor bc he gets to look like his twin!

[motherfuckingmagicbrian]

old art, love the adventure zone

[motherfuckingmagicbrian]

Mutt: okay man, Dracula, first question. You couldn't even fake it with him? 'oh yea, hey buddy, how's it going'?What a dick move, man.

Dracula: uh i'm afraid that tact is stored in the liver and I don't have one of those right now, so.

Mutt: mmhm

Lady Godwin: okay. I would like to ask a question now. How do i destroy this ear for real? For good?

Dracula: i don't understand why you would want to do that. Its a lovely ear.

Justin/Lady Godwin: alright, i chuck the head into the water

Mutt: no, no!

Dracula: blbabdblbebsbkblbllll

Travis/Mutt: I pull it back out. Hey Godwin?

Clint laughs

Lady Godwin: i'm the bad cop

Mutt: oh, ok, cool man. Uh

Lady Godwin: i'm the wet cop.

Mutt: the wet cop? Ok, cool man

Lady Godwin: i'll be wet cop, you be dry cop

Mutt: awesome, okay. So, Dracula --

Dracula: so just some casual waterboarding, then, is what we're doing?

Mutt: in that we threw you into the water on a board, yes.
