#griffin liveblogs terms

[granny-griffin]

hey discord updated their terms of service! You have until the 15th of april 2024 to email arbitration-opt-out@discord.com if you want to opt out of their new binding arbitration clauses

I don’t have any kind of legal training, but I read terms a lot, and I’m pretty sure binding arbitrarion is where you have to go to a neutral third party like AAA instead of a courts system to resolve disputes.

the new terms also have something against class action lawsuits but I don’t think there’s a way to opt out of that

i ffukin love how much folklore there is in the witcher universe

The 100 7x10 - Impressions

Not a proper liveblog because I skipped watching it in real time (oopsie!)

Is there like a particular reason why everyone sees the dude covered in blood - who they know was a powerful scary person - and they leave the 12-year-old child alone with him? Instead of, idk, someone grabbing her hand when they’re all running out behind her back? Like any reasonable adults would do in that scenario?

The three most dangerous women on this or any planet - YAS QUEENS

So weird how a verse in an alien language rhymes when translated into English...

Fuck yeah Echo! Stab stab those are my terms!

Octavia knew they’d turn up - of course they would lol. Dangerous foreign planet, genocidal maniac, eventually Clarke Griffin will show up. That’s just the laws of like, plot physics or something.

Hope looks super cool in the guard uniform with the haircut and the eyebrows...

Every war is the last. Until the next one. You tell him, Niylah.

Right before they cut off her drinking water to water the lawns of the rich... We were robbed of more Gabriel-Diyoza interactions on the basis of eat the rich. That little “she was a freedom fighter” comment wasn’t enough.

Cadogan really thinks he’s running the Jedi religion. Seriously. And I hate it. I actually like Jedi - even if they’re kinda’ misguided/

I really feel like Gabriel doesn’t actually know how to do the whole hostage thing...

So I’ve seen the gifs - and therefore I know that for the scene Levitt has to stay tied up. But... Clarke saying not to untie him because they need to know what Echo is planning makes no damn sense? He can talk and get untied at the same time. And clearly Octavia is close to him and he cares about her (her body language, his immediate apologies, she knows where his bedroom is in the first place). 

If you’re looking for the wrong answer, it’s easy to miss the right one. Ain’t that the truth. Antivaxxers, antimaskers...

I couldn’t even laugh at Malachai’s fuckin’ cliche name, I was too busy laughing at his new extensions and his “I’m 25 and angry at the world” goth-punk outfit bahahaha (I’m not saying I wouldn’t wear it or that it isn’t a bitchin’ outfit - it just looked so out of place and was so sudden lol! Did Russell have that stuff in his closet somewhere? Like for halloween?)

YOU SAY YOU HONOR OUR TRADITIONS, SO HONOR THIS ONE. YOUR PATH TO THE THRONE LEADS THROUGH ME - SINGLE COMBAT! Boss. Ass. Bitch.

And where’d he get that fancy-ass sword? It’s not like anyone had time to pack or anything before they left earth, if they even had time to oack before leaving for the bunker...?

Did Madi... take his whole eye? Noice! But also... are people allowed to survive the conclave? Wasn’t that the whole plot and the reason why nightblood was genetically rare and the world fucking ended like it did? Both Indra (the challenger) and Madi (who I think illegally interfered) are alive. So I cannot respect or fear Sheidheda as a villain. :-/ 

Hiding everyone in the reactor... Now THAT’S a survivor’s move. :-3

Raven says CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS and I think that’s very sexy of her

Anders: Raised in the wild, slaves to their feelings... you disgust me. What are you, cheap knockoff Vulcans? Miller: Bold words for a man standing in front of a pack of armed beasts. Hell yeah!

Diyoza... Idk if it was the music or the filming or what but her death scene felt off. Just... cheap, Idk. I was all prepared to be super upset and probably cry (I love her so much!) but I was just kind of... taken out of it by the presentation.) Anybody else have that experience?

Trailer: Next Up, Bellamy Alone!

new taz graduation ep liveblog! ^u^

i haven't seen any spoilers but i did see a tweet from travis  about how he's excited for us to hear this ep because a lot of stuff happens and i am hyped!!!

i have never heard bursar pronounced with that hard an “a”

wait do they not... get to keep their items??? jesus that sucks 

fitz my sweet boy

ilu firbolg buddy

play in this space with us justin

fitz is so done and i am as well

literally no one has ever said this firbolg

am i the only one who is getting mad evil vibes off this guy

"snippers, honey-" he loves this dear sweet crab

"i set him on my lap" snippers ilu

HOLY SHIT this is big! go fitzroy :D

ooooh shit, on no, oh my poor boy

this music is ominous and i am worried as hell

are you sure villian doesn't fit you fitroy because wow

i was not assuming the dynamics were going to change this much only six episodes in, hot damn

...huh. this is because of what happened last episode isn't it. hieronymus is giving him a promotion in order to keep him from suspecting anything's wrong with the school. i am very concerned about this

i would very much love to learn about trees from bud

firblog and argo's friendship makes me so happy

i legit thought he said "throat"

"now here is a hungry boy for bark" justin you've killed me

argo what the fuck

he was trolling him the entire time oh my god

oh fun we're doing argo's scene first

OH SHIT, it's the water and stone thing from the second ep

well that's not great :|

never mind, back to bud

how much time has passed exactly??? because with all this talk of new semesters and the baby pegasus having grown so much it sounds like it's been months since the first ep. i like having concrete timelines for things, idk if that's important or not but it feels like it

aww, buddies :')

this background noise is wonderful

i'm gonna cry, firblog my baby

"breeze through the willow" pretty

i cannot overstate how much i love firbolg’s emotional intelligence

demons??? how the heck do demons work in dnd, i need to look this up

this music is so beautiful but i am so worried

travis you are destroying me emotionally

"scarred and beautiful" t r a v i s

aaand theres the ad break! yes it is great so far travis, i am loving this!

i still haven't listened to the live candlenights ep, i need to do that 

yes give me your thought process griffin i want to know the inner thoughts of my boy, give me that emotional complexity

what the fuck is this scene even

i love the idea that fitzroy got told specifically "hey maybe don't tell anybody about this" and he immediately decided to turn around and tell his friends 

TURTLE BUDDY :D

aww poor clint, feel better soon :(

"always" ilu firbolg

a quasit??? the fuck

i was halfway to google already there trav

YEAH THAT'S NOT GREAT

oooh that's some interesting lore there, filing that away for later

firbolg has a better record for remembering library books than i do lmao

i love this so much

"i give you permission to speak as justin" pfffff

i love you agro, also clint you're murdering me here

wait didn't hieronymus say they were coming together

oh dang, good to know there’s less of a hench/sidekick split

i'm glad on a narrative standpoint that fitzroy is sharing the fact that he has misgivings about being villian typecast with argo, and i'm also nervous that argo is so worried about being a villian

justin what the flying fuck are you talking about

i can hear justin trying not to laugh

thunderman of the sea

what the fuck is even going on with this, i have no goddamn idea

"it's what i do best!" so gary is a bug essentially

griffin what the fuck has been the last 10 minutes of this podcast

oh yay, the raccoon :D

oh fun, ranier's birthday :D

why does fitzroy have jellybeans, i want to know this

how would a perception check in a dream go, that's wild

oh what the fuck that is creepy

there's only like ten minutes left in this ep and i am worried for argo

that's a good ol' merle roll lmao

oh god i forgot how much i hate the jackal voice holy shit

is it just me or are some of the mics cutting off at the end and going quiet in places, clint's and travis’s in particular

i just had flashbacks to that one fucking scene in amnesty where the shifter took boyd's voice mid sentence and i'm really not a fan of that

so mom is shebry and the ship is the mariah

what happened, i want to know so bad

what the fuck is going on holy shit i am so intrigued

blood and bone, rain and stone

so his mom is gone, and she wanted him to eventually get him to join, and jackal is involved... oh i cannot wait to see how this goes

i am so worried for all of my sons

well that was a significantly funnier post credits scene lmao

so a lot of things happened in this episode! dang!!! only six episodes into the new season and we’ve already hit some major shakeups in terms of the boy’s situations at the school, it seems like the plot is really starting to gain some steam and i’m still super excited to see where it goes from here

see you all next right thursday! 

[pekorosu]

got my hands on the old radio drama for banana fish (thanks so much @vashak!! 😭) so im gonna do some mindless liveblogging bc i miss doing that shit

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- their voices are KILLING ME

- okay you could say it's partly bc i'm used to their anime voices but i'm actually fine with eiji's voice! IT’S THE REST OF THEM THAT SOUND REALLY FUNNY

- especially marvin and arthur omg. i could not stop laughing when they showed up. i remember thinking anime!arthur sounded way too cool, but this version just went in the complete opposite direction

- ash's voice is a little deeper (?) than i expected. i don’t think that’s the right word for it but yeah... uchida yuuma's voice is closer to how i imagined it in terms of "youthfulness" but his is also a tad bit too "clean"...

- MEANWHILE MAX SOUNDS SO GRUFF AND MANLY LOL. now anime!max just sounds dopey in comparison

- i think the only person who doesn't make me feel like doubling over with laughter so far is dr. meredith, jenkins and eiji...

- skip sounds way too cute. son... 🥺

- the bgm when eiji and ibe first meet ash ADJHJDJSKFHKD 

- IT’S JUST HILARIOUS IN CONTRAST WITH THE EARLIER BG ROCK MUSIC

- omg now it sounds a bit like pokemon music

- eiji: CAN I TOUCH UR GUN ash: SURE *pokemon music*

- HAHA EIJI'S STUPID GIGGLE

- eiji: HEY CAN I ASK U SOMETHING ash: SURE eiji: HAVE U KILLED ANYONE BEFORE ash: YUP *cheerful pokemon music continues*

- SHORTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

- i like shorter’s voice! 👌 it actually sounds similar to his anime voice, just less nasally, i think

- this version of ash sounds more uhh... forceful? emotional? idk how to describe it lol but i feel like his VA tends to 1) overdo it, or 2) get it tonally wrong for the situation...

- nooooooooooooo they removed my favourite eiji line before he jumps over the wall i was WAITING FOR IT

- hmmm the scenes just don’t have that oomph... i think it’s bc they're pushing through the scenes very quickly... then again, the anime had the same issue but their VAs still did a better job compared to this...

- i guess ash and eiji will always have sad gay piano music whatever version they're in :')

- ash's voice is starting to grow on me even though i still think he sounds off at certain parts that demand more subtlety. max on the other hand, is like, REALLY BAD................... imo

- "and then he kissed me" HAHAHAHA IT WAS NARRATED yeah well duh what was i expecting this isn’t a BL drama cd

- gOD arthur's voice dsfkajskghjfsdlg

- shorter's so cool tho im love 🤩

- love all the 90s gunshot sfx. PEEUNG PEEUNG PEEUNNNGGSSHHHH

- lol eiji and ibe actually sound more like friends than Concerned Dad and Reckless Son

- ash's reaction to griff's death is played so cool... no outbursts just :/ and then the scene straight away jumps to them drinking lol

- ash's crying is so manly...

- WHY IS THE CAR SCENE SO FUNNY

- ok im a lil mad bc that was the ONE scene where eiji got to rebel but this version is just 😂😂😂

- literally:

ash: anyway, imma borrow this car for a bit. eiji: *hops in* i’m coming along!!! >:DDD ash: wtf get out ibe: *knocking frantically on the window* oi eiji!!! eiji: *very cutely* c’mon if u don’t hurry up u'll get caught again :))))) ash: tch -_- *brrm brrms away*

and then they eloped

- oh my god........ is that lee dude's VA trying to do a “chinese” accent in japanese............................

- !!!! this part! i liked the way ash sounded when he was amused by eiji's naive comment about the lees. i think i prefer this take over the anime where ash was more stoic. and i like that you can hear him switching to his DEEP VOICE OF SERIOUSNESS lol.

- i also liked the next bit where shorter warns eiji to keep his head down and eiji's like WHY ARE U TRYNA PROTECT ME I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF >:T hehe iirc that wasn't in the anime

- ...i'll just put it here bc it's a rare moment that i rly enjoyed so far

- aaaand we're back to cheesy gunshot sounds

- hearing jennifer's voice feels so soothing after almost an hour of deep voices

- who sounds scarier when picking a fight? radio drama!max = 1, anime!max = -5

- ash's dad: who the hell are u guys and why are you hanging around ash. max: i’m max. i'm a friend of griffin's, we were in the same squad in vietnam. shorter: name's shorter. eiji: my name is eiji. i'm japanese.

sdfsfsdghkfhk how is that relevant to the question EIJI PLS 

- that said, they actually toned down quite a lot of eiji's doofiness huh

- i truly feel like eiji's a lot less "damsel in distress" and more "chill but curious bystander", while ash is closer to the typical shounen manga protag here 

- damn jessica doesn't sound as awesome as i’d hoped. the anime rly spoiled me haha

- OMG yut-lung's voice. it's so... cute... 🥺🥺

- this ENTIRE freakin scene where shorter threatens to kill eiji just lost its gravity thanks to:

1) arthur's voice sounding like a disney villain’s henchman 2) lee dude’s AWFUL accent 3) EVERYONE TALKING SO QUICKLY 4) THE OVERDRAMATIC BG VIOLINS AND DRUMS

- hmm, i think i might actually like eiji’s voice in this version more than the anime now! sorry nojima

- abraham actually sounds kinda intimidating here

- LMAO SING'S VOICEEEEE. too nasally for me XD

- oh wow, i think i prefer this version of shorter going nuts... not that the anime is worse, just that it chose to emphasize more on the tragedy of the situation while this one focuses more on the terror and urgency. probably bc of the bg music lol. also shorter’s abs were very distracting in the anime

- weapon room scene: ash sounds TOO out of breath and panicky here, but i guess it fits the context of the radio drama... it's inaccurate compared to the manga tho

- another issue i have... ibe's VA sucks. sorry but he always sounds so flat or inappropriate for the situation ><

- god this rescue scene still sounds ridic on 2nd listen... it's so over the top I CAN'T

- i gotta say, even if i were to disregard how i personally imagined ash’s voice, uchida yuuma still does it better acting-wise. i know voice acting has to involve some level of exaggeration but sometimes less is more, y’know?

- it sure feels like this radio drama is intent on cutting out as much gay as they can more interested in spotlighting the plot and action scenes, bc a lot of the convo scenes seem to have been cut...

- also the "pls come back" scene was like... so bro. no more “i’ll wait for you always”. NO HOMO. booooooooooo. but strangely enough i found the acting in it better than in the previous scenes.

- altho from what i remember, ash and eiji's VAs sounded like they had p good chemistry... but maybe it's a bit too early to say, i'll have to hear more of their casual banter to decide

- ash finding shorter's corpse scene: sorry but the anime wins, hands down 

- so eiji's VA is... inoue kazuhiko? wasn't that the guy who played kakashi from naruto or something? lol i don't even go there

- gotta say, the ED song is the part that i enjoyed the most XD seriously tho, it's a nice song! and the lyrics makes up for all the lost gay haha

- okay that’s it for the first CD. nothing much of interest here, and BF starts off slow in terms of ash/eiji content anyway, so hopefully there’s more to comment on in the next CD 🤔

Evan Plays The Elementalists: Chapter 1

Believe it or not, I still haven’t actually played The Elementalists yet. About time I fixed that problem!

Customizing my MC:

Getting a real Harry Potter vibe from this music. I assume that’s the idea?

“Eli the Elementalist?” ...Clever, but too cheesy for me. Let’s go with “Phil.” Hispanic face, red hair. 

Wow, it’s actually asking me who I’d prefer to date! Pixelberry, you continue to surprise me. My bisexual ass is gonna pick ‘both’ anyway though.

Well that final message was...ominous. EXCITE!

Beginning:

“Someone not quite yourself?” Huh????

...That’s not my MC.

Oh, it was a dream. Ok.

Alarm’s been going off for two hours, and I’m running late. This book about wizards is somehow the most realistic book I’ve ever read.

T-shirt seems most like what I’d wear normally.

Oh hey, dream guy! ...Er, that came out wrong.

LOL last name dodge.

Me: “For a life of adventure!”

As much as I’d love to blurt out stuff about a magickal world... I don’t think Phil’s supposed to know about that yet.

...I’m starting to get the feeling that Hartfeld’s the only college in the entire universe at this point.

Dream guy again.

(Sidenote: Does his appearance change based on your MC choices? What if you pick one that looks exactly like him?)

Alright, that was a cool animation. INTO THE MIRROR!

...God, I love this background.

Title In!

Is this “haughty guy” the Beckett I’ve heard so much about? Idk but he reminds me of Aleister.

Oh yay, I was right :D

I like you already, Griffin!

So Harry Potter meets ATLA? I can get on board with that.

Me: “This is some kind of school?”

As much as I’d love to start flirting, I don’t think this is the best time.

Attuneless? Is that what they call Muggles?

Everyone is running late for things! Yep, most realistic book by far.

Nice to meet you, Shreya!

Me: “How’d you get stuck?”

Again, a little early for flirting I think.

It only opens once a month? Yikes.

Hey, Zeph. Based on your name... Air Att?

Dr Dillamond?! Is that you?

Me: “He’s super tall.”

“Satyr” might be offensive to him. Better safe than sorry.

I really love Griffin. 

Me: “Is this your way of flirting?”

Now it’s the right time to flirt. :D

Wow, Griffin, you’re cheesy as hell but also adorable.

Magical running clothes? Love it.

He needs my help with something. CALLING IT RIGHT NOW, IT COSTS DIAMONDS.

...Yep, called it. *sigh* Let me check my bank account...

Ah, what the hell. Let’s do this. But only because I like you, Griffin, okay?

Me: “How did you do that?”

Invisibility wards? Awesome.

So Metal’s close to Earth, Air is farther away... Is there some kind of “element wheel” we’ll learn about later?

Hey, we found Not the Room of Requirement!

A ball with a button on top? Griffin, are you a Pokemon trainer?

Creepy doll: “Wow. I hate that.” Took the words right out of my mouth, Phil.

Dragons exist!

Okay, who made the flying unicycle, and can I be your friend?

Pick up the genie lamp.

I want three wishes!

I just said that, Phil, stop reading my mind!

Holy...Griffin’s ball was a star projector? Nice.

...Excuse me, star-tracker.

Loving all these new terms I’m hearing, by the way. I’m a sucker for worldbuilding.

“Earth-Atts are a little more grounded.” Oh, Griffin... keep making puns like that and I’ll love you even more.

Me: “But the company is better.”

Alright, that was awesome. Easily worth 15 diamonds.

Tell her the truth.

I’m thinking if I lie, it’ll turn out she can read minds or something. *Patrick Starr voice* “Is “telepathy” an element?”

Oh, I get to choose! Weird that they didn’t have me do that at the start, but ok...

Going with “Luxen,” after the setting of one of my favorite games, and because it sounds kinda wizard-y.

Room 108? I’ve got a bad feeling about this...

Phil, your name was on the list because a wizard did it. LITERALLY.

“Does this place come with an instruction manual?” Genius.

Oh! Hi, Shreya!

Love the blue fire in the fireplace, by the way. Nice touch.

Shreya’s my roommate? Ok.

Me: “You’re even cuter than before.”

...What? It’s true.

Lava rock runway? Shreya already sounds awesome.

Me: “I know exactly how you feel.”

Seriously, I can relate.

I just wanna hug her, okay?

*record scratch* OK HOLD ON ONE SECOND, PAUSE THE LIVEBLOG. Theory time. The alternate MC in the mirror from before, running away from the monster... did he, like, escape through the mirror into Hartfeld somehow? And in the process he switched places with me? It would explain how no one seems to care that I’ve gone missing back home, and also how everyone just...expects me here at Penderghast. 

...Theory time over. We now resume our regularly scheduled liveblog.

Me: “Why would you do that?”

“Because it sounds like fun.” We are gonna be great roommates.

Getting a Doctor Strange vibe from this door. Cool animation!

So this is pretty much Not Hogsmeade?

Me: “Is that vendor selling heads?”

Are they snarky and have Jamaican accents? Because then I’d totally buy one.

...I was expecting a timed choice with the falling candelabras there. Slightly disappointed, really.

Who’s this? Tree nymph?

...Okay, wood nymph. Close enough.

Me: “I like your shop.”

“If I feel the most strongly about something, is it mine?” I think Aster would get along well with Rocket Raccoon...

Ooh, what are these? Do I get to choose my element?

Hmm, so magick has a finite limit. It has to charge up?

That actually makes a lot of sense. Kudos to whoever at PB thought up this world.

...Diamonds. OF-FREAKING-COURSE.

One choice per chapter rule still applies, so... sorry Aster. At least I get a free one.

(Sidenote: I gotta say, I prefer diamond choices like this that actually involve spending money in-story. Makes a lot more sense than MC always spewing out nonsensical excuses.)

Dreamguy again!

...That’s not the same shadow monster from before.

Me: Dodge it!

Wait, sun magick?! I swear I did NOT know that when I chose Phil’s last name. Seriously happy with that coincidence, though.

Final Thoughts: How have I not played this before?! I’m absolutely loving it. The mystery, the worldbuilding, the characters, just...yes. But the hard question for me right now is... Griffin or Shreya? (Assuming they’re both LIs). To Chapter 2 we go!

Next Chapter: Link

fitzroy he does not have to say it you are handing him a physical subpoena my dipshit boy, just give the new xorn buddy the rock

i know i'm meant to be picturing a xorn but my brain is just playing the goron city music on repeat

"i'm not really sure how planar travel works" the irony of this line coming from griffin's character is sending me

so did he get sent to the prime material plane against his will?

i cannot wait to see art of those photos lol

nice, good roll for fitz!

oh shit, how the hell did that get there

can he climb up to it? oh well apparently not lol

"hey google? size of xorn"

xorn is a beef boy

[ghosty-schnibibit]

much earlier in the day than usual taz liveblog! ^o^

the only reason this is going up so early is i haven’t slept yet lmao, i fixed my sleep schedule for about a month and then went right back to being nocturnal.

i've spent the last four nights or so staying up til around ten in the morning binging the magnus archives (i'm about halfway through season three right now) and enjoying the hell out of it. for anyone who followed me bc of my taz liveblogs, rest assured i'm still going to be keeping up with graduation and taz in general :P

without further ado, here we go!

i fucking forgot about “thundermen”

you are being very paranoid fitz but that’s okay

"you don't curse well" he's a good sweet boy

jesus christ fitz maybe don't say this to the dude in charge of the school

fitzroy my sweet boy what is your deal, please tell us

... so fitzroy basically wants a venue to prove himself to be a good person that doesn't revolve around performance and artifice. he wants a way to gain power on his own merits without relying on status to boost him up, and felt knighthood was a better way to accomplish that than going to a school where he’s basically being trained to fit a specific role in life

i can see where higglemis is coming from with his worldview given that he's been forced to play second fiddle to his brother for so long

i have a sneaking suspicion that hieronymus thinks he can better manipulate or keep fitz under his thumb in the villian track

fitzroy you dumb himbo baby, my sweet stupid son who i love so much

well that was fucking tense as hell, jesus fuck

yes, on to my sweet boy

c r e e e e e p y

ilu jackyl

why would he want a pocket watch though?

i feel significantly better in argo's ability to do challenge this now that there aren't any life altering consequences

this is going well so far

argo this is such a dumb plan, you are smarter than this my boy

"i'm drawing a word picture" ilu clint

argo this is a dumb and bad plan and you need to roll for this!!!

clint my sweet son

yeah!!! that is how it works!!!

A R G O  W H A T  T H E  F U C K

i cannot fucking believe that worked holy shit

idk if it's just because the creepy voice is gone but i'm trusting jackyl more and more

ARGO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING

take your caffe back to chicago 

he got a fuckin tattoo holy shit

what is this reference justin

argo is deeply committed and i love it

this whole bit has been so good

oh damn that was quick edit, holy shit, i didn't even realized we were going into the money zone

there we go, there's the regular intro, i missed it

yay! my favorite girl's birthday :D

awww, argo and firbolg being bestest buds is so wonderful

a knight's tale is the only one of those movies i've seen, please juice don’t dunk on me like this

i know i keep saying this over and over but i love their friendship so much, it warms my heart dearly

fitzroy my sweet boy, he cannot cuss for the life of him 

"as partners" y'all

i love them so much, my sweet loves

god this is cute as shit, i am sold, i am sailing away on the fitzrain ship

... argo were you about to give her the same thing???

argo where the fuck did you- oh okay, nevermind lol

oh firbolg my sweet son

oh my god this is the best holy shit

rainier is my sweet darling girl and i love her so much

i need art of this so bad this sounds so cute

argo why are you busking at your dear friend's birthday party

good god argo really is shaping up to be the magnus of this campaign in terms of rolling and bonuses

yay! festo is back :D

what was that noise travis

festo is going to dance with the wee crabby, i love this so

WHY IS THERE DUBSTEP NOW

i need this as a ringtone asap 

i am so bad with names, is buckminster the nice one or the malfoy one??? oh yay good he is the nice one

oh no, what happened to leon? D:

"he wouldn't leave me!" ... are they together?

gross griffin, gross

yes! show love to your sweet crab!

i love these sweet dumb friend boys

oh dang, so the blacksmith professor is in the group too??? interesting

not liking that emphasis on "when someone needs stopping," this is extremely interesting but i'm worried about the narrative implications of this, vís a vís argo being made to turn on his friends

this is so powerful, wow

i'm gonna cry but in a happy way ; u ;

oh snap this is already so cool, wow wow wow

how many teachers are in on this, dang

WAIT WHAT??? why do they want dirt on fitzroy?????

so higglemis was the one who controlled him???

"you may forget" WHAT IS GOING ON

OH FUCK, HIGGLEMIS WHAT ARE YOU UP TO? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SWEET LEON???

dang there was a lot of development this ep, plot and character-wise! i’m very worried for literally all three of my boys, but also very excited to see what travis has planned from here on out now that some conflict appears to be brewing!

see you guys next right thursday~ ^u^

[ghosty-schnibibit]

very late (both in terms of date and time) ttazz liveblog before graduation comes out later today! 

the main reasons i put off listening to the ttazz for as long as i did:

was in the middle of a balance relisten, specifically in the middle of eleventh hour, and didn't want to break my flow there (iirc i was right before That Episode and i didn’t want the mood whiplash of going from ttazz to the emotional gut punch of the chalice)

still getting over amnesty in general because d a m n, this was my first season with taz from beginning to end that hit me hard, i needed some decompression time

i'm always a little terrified to listen to ttazz eps because i've been here for a long ass time and have seen interactions between fans and creaters go bad fast and am always quietly worried for our good good brothers even though most of the fandom is relatively chill

but graduation begins today so! i felt like i needed to get it over and done with. going into this with my only spoiler being that sternclay is canon, let's do this!

OH SHIT! new ttazz music! :D

kill me with emotions more like

or clint could be pollution a la g’omens

YES PLEASE I HAD TO GOOGLE HIM

... is there some reverb on justin's audio? he's echoing

i literally only saw ferris buller for the first time a year ago and i cannot remember wayne newton being in it

whomst???

yes please i am so curious

aww, that's fun

... so the ending was likely originally going to be duck taking over as mothman??? i'm so mad

YES PLEASE EXPLAIN GRIFFIN I WAS SO CONFUSED ABOUT THIS

g i v e  m e  t h e  l o r e  g r i f f i n

oh my god that is so good, holy shit

oh right, the npc who was a ghost that i couldn't stop picturing as owl from winnie the pooh because of his voice lmao

oh dang griffin and trav's audios are echoing too, this is super distracting

i would agree with that honestly, i feel like it was more like a tv season-esque build than an epic

... mood, and also why i think it hit everyone so hard that ned died

same, i love bad liar duck so much

the audience struggled with it too for a bit there lol

it has been so fuckin long since i listened to the first few eps of amnesty, i legit do not remember what aubrey's original voice sounded like

"how did we come to ned chicane?" damn trav

i always made a connection between suffering game and the shifter arc in my head but i didn't want to compare the two seasons unjustly, i feel better now that griffin's made it more implicit

who is clinking a spoon against a porcelain cup

"i'm checking slack, fuck you guys" pfff

that is literally how you brought barry back griffin

i need someone to write an au where aubrey touched thacker and got quelled earlier in the timeline, holy shit

dang, i could have guessed it was planned... i guess a lot of this arc's foreshadowing came in the form of "the boys all picked red null suits" moments where random things all added up

... wait, didn't duck kill the tree abomination? i need to relisten to amnesty so bad, i honestly cannot remember, i think that arc’s finale came out while i was in the middle of finals

ilu griffin

we could have had a "you earned love, but you didn't earn LOVE" moment??? g r i f f i n

YES, give me those great parallels trav

i have literally never seen a national lampoon movie guys

i thought it was!!! dang :(

honestly i wish pigeon had gotten more screen time between the arcs, she was really a wasted character imho

i love danbry so much :')

i'm only familiar with brian blessed as hamlet sr.'s ghost lmao

YEEEAH, STERNCLAY! :D

...

i maintain that she fell off a pudding fruit tree lol

oh fuck i am somehow even more happy thacker did that knowing that now holy shit

nice, time for some graduation hype!

tiny heist? i don't remember hearing anything about this :0

i am so fucking excited to see these maps trav, holy shit

i! cannot! wait! for! travis! dming!

oh my god i do the same thing with all my ocs, i have an entire publisher doc with all their info written out too

i'm so damn exited! holy shit!!!

nice one griff lmao

alrighty, that's the end of amnesty! i can't wait to see what trav has in store for us, and i'll still be here livebloging along with it for the foreseeable future ^u^

p.s.: thank you guys so much for all the love on my recent post!!! i didn't expect so many people to enjoy me venting my emotionsTM over suffering game lol

[ghosty-schnibibit]

finally found time to listen to the first ep of graduation and holy shit!!! i love it so much!!!!! liveblog below ^u^

so i’ve stayed off tumblr for the last five days to avoid any spoilers and damn it was both hard and worth the wait, i am so hype for the rest of this season!!! i think this may be the longest liveblog i’ve ever done so apologies in advance to mobile users if the readmore doesn’t work.

oh dang! starting off with narration!

newa? oh cool we're not in faerun

“a blessing of unicorns” travis i am in love with your world already

loving the spookiness of the place names

trav i love it but this is so much lore so quickly bud i've had to pause to take notes like three times

"and our deaths become all but inevitable" jesus travis

i am so excited, this is going to be so much fun

this music is giving me such dreamworks vibes

AND A CAT :D

SPECTRAL CAT :O

and here's the other three boys!

griffin is getting out years of dm saltiness and i love it

a handsome half elf boy, neat

agro keen! nice name clint

his voice is like griffin put artemis sterling and indrid in a blender

sir fitzroy maplecourt, i love him already

clint no, i am too a ace for this

water genasi, that sounds fun

i cannot wait to see the fanart of this dude, he sounds so pretty

"you had me until the mustashe" same griffy, same

JUSTIN THIS CANNOT BE THE VOICE YOU USE FOR THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN, JUSTIN W H Y

clint started off vaguely crunchy and veered right into ned

this is untenable justin

just throwing this out there, just purely based on the voices, i think fitzroy is my fave so far

oh fun! like caduceus 

"that's an absolute unit!" mood

i need art of this dude so bad

... so the same name you gave the nitpicker lol

GARY THE GARGOYLE

fitzroy you precious baby boy

oh god this is bringing back memories

"what is a bunked bed?" says griffin 'every fantasy world i create contains elevators' mcelroy

"there is no shame in this" what does that mean justin

fitzroy is my sweet boy and i love him so much, my wee aristocratic dipshit

nice! 17 for the first roll of the campaign!

huh, nice! i like this mechanic

clint ilu

you mentioned maps in the ttazz trav, give me the maps

loving the verb usage lol

oh god its hagrid

i'm loving bud more and more each time he talks

"that's groundsy's place" that's where groundsy hides the bodies of students who displease him

ARGO WTF ARE YOU DOING

"both in different ways" dang

barn and battleground side... this sounds fun

does fitzroy want to be a knight? i love this

love the use of the word smooshed

hippocamp? oooooh horse mermaid, fun

BABY :D

nice, that sounds cool as hell

TRAVIS HOW HAVE YOU MADE ME CRY, THIS IS LITERALLY THE FIRST EP AND I'M LITERALLY IN TEARS OVER THIS BABY

y'know what, his voice has grown on me

justin you are crushing this entire scene and i love it

we're already getting some foreshadowing here and i am loving it

oh this music is so choice

YEAAAH first competent woman of the arc! :D

nice, go argo

"oooh, you're sir fitzroy" why does my boy have a reputation already

did my boy get kicked out of the hero tract without knowing it???

is he crying?????

"i had my feelings hurt by a strong man" b a b y  b o y

who's the asshole?

argo my sweet sarcastic boy

oh fun, new npc buddies :D

i'm getting some wicked malfoy vibes from this guy

argo is being a dick but in a very deserved way

travis was not kidding about the sheer volume of npcs, holy shit, i'm only about 45 minutes in and i think that's seven different npcs with names and distinct personalities

oh fun! fantasy wheelchair 0u0

make that ten named npcs

his full name is argonaut, cool!

i am so excited for her holy shit, i need to draw every single pc and npc but i want to draw her the most, i love her so much

fitzroy is a dipshit and i love him

ooooh i get it now, so it's almost more like an acting school, i am digging this setting so much trav

damn that is confident

... are they the only ones clapping?

higglemis is such a mood

justin ilu holy shit

i love leon so much already, he's so soft spoken and sweet

"you would not survive that" fair call lol

griffin no you're going to destroy me with second hand embarrassment

what are you doing fitzroy my dumb dumb boy

"i'm in heck" g r i f f i n

oh my sweet summer child. oh my poor baby :(

yes, what is your class my sweet failure boy

so he's a wizard boy, love it

thank you for trying bud ilu

f i t z r o y  2

druid boy!

rouge buddies :D

so we've got a druid, a wizard, and a rouge, nice balance, a little heavy to magic users but so was balance lol

... i am terrified to know what this squirrel thing is

never mind that is actually freakin adorable, and i love her so much

oh goody malfoy's back

... it's hazing. he's going to haze them.

trav’s doing a really good job of giving npcs with similar pitches of voice different cadences to their speech

the fuck griffin

"that would put me right off lemons" a r g o

oh he has a cape... i know i kept thinking of him as a sort of malfoy character but now i can't stop picturing eridan

i am genuinely loving all the hp digs, this is so good

SNEAKERY

oh nice! birdy teacher :D

griffin what owl character are you referring to??????

i love how mundane this is, no joke, it makes it feel really grounded

good to know since they don't really have a healer

they have a dedicated party class, i love this

are they actual skeletons??? holy shit travis i love this so much

he's such a nervous baby, awww

DAMN GRIFFIN NICE

i love how supportive these boys are

how did you manage that trav, dang

HE'S A WHAT GRIFFIN??? I'VE BEEN PICTURING HIM AS A LIL NERD BOY THE WHOLE TIME, HE'S A BARBARIAN????? H O W

"we don't talk about it" i love this

is that a spell? i need to look that up

i love this skeleton friend so much

clint's tradition of naming his weapons continues and i love it

clint what are you d o i n g

NICE! go argo :D

"fuck life lessons!" jesus fitzroy

so it's more of like... a vocational school, size-wise, which aligns with a lot of the background info trav's given us. nice, easy to mentally picture

blame taking???

"you're the one whose magic came and ruined everything!" i am so eager to know this magic barbarian boy's backstory

agro's going for a more errol flynn aesthetic lol

puppy :D

"we feel settled on bud" i just realized this is the second character justin's playing that we don't know the real name of lol

i am so eager to learn what the heck this is and i just know it's going to end in a cliffhanger with only 11 minutes left in the ep

"does a plant cry out? it is plant!" i love this sweet firbolg boy

awww, ranier is a sweety, i love her so much, she's my favorite npc so far

bud’s giving himself some larry bird boots lol

everyone but bud are dumb dumbs lol

this music is so good

i am so intrigued travis holy shit this is so good

a credit to trav, this is the first npc that's made me think of magnus in terms of vocal cadence and tone

oh groundsy

poor fitzroy lmao

I AM SO READY FOR THIS

in conclusion: i am so incredibly hype for the new season!!! i know this ep was mostly setup but i’m already super interested in everyone’s characters and the mystery of whatever’s going on in the spooky forest, and i’m loving the direction travis is taking with the world and how he’s combining the magical with the mundane to make a grounded yet fantastical setting! i can’t wait for the next ep and for all the great things to come this season with everyone ^u^

[ghosty-schnibibit]

new amnesty ep liveblog! ^0^

i was going to wait until tomorrow to listen to the new ep because i have an essay to write but i didn’t want to have to dodge spoilers all day tomorrow lmao. also i actually did do an lb of the ttazz but honestly forgot to post it, i might do that later but for now here’s tonight’s episode!

welp, i am concerned about literally everything mentioned in the previously on, here we go :)

oh dang, timeskip :o

i've never had those donuts and now i want them

aww ned :(

god i love you duck

"it's dangerous but you catch it" best not to have another errol can't catch the root-beer esqe gag with hot coffee lmao

okay what about the ghost dewey tho

aww poor dewey :(((

okay but you literally did do that after a mbmbam

no ya weren't ned :/

god damn that was a powerful speech

"you punk!" nice aubrey

aww duck my baby :(((((

dang, this episode is starting off dark and sad as hell, damn

DUCK MY BOY

god i love this arc's music so much

travis you're just doing the riddle me piss voice

duck is the best

JESUS CLINT

is this a real doc, or...?

oh my god it is and griffin's just reading it

justin this is going to make my week thank you in advance

griffin just jumped from hodgepodge to kravitz to maarvey in the span of three minutes and i'm just dying, thank you justin for this wonderful bit

BUTTS BUTTS BUTTS BUTTS BUTTS

leo has a nephew??? fun, another relative of a soon to be dead person to worry about :)

oh shit, does this mean this thing is outside the radius of the gate? was that one mile or ten miles, i can't remember

... oh shit that's a good point

loving the mama + madame director parallels here

griffin you're doing this on purpose, i’m on to you

ned there is no need to be this fucking shifty

"why are you being so weird" mood mama

prom night jitters

okay but how big is this statue???

duck ilu so much, also i want fanart of this whiteboard

well that's not great :|

ned sad

i think i just heard one of travis's puppies in the background ^u^

oh boy that's not fuckin great

jesus, ned has been absolutely horrible at investigation rolls this arc

this music is very good but also ominous as fuck

god that's pretty

DANI NO

... OH NO, I DO NOT LIKE WHAT THIS IS IMPLYING, VIS A VIS MAMA MAYBE NOT BEING MAMA

NED WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU TRYING TO BLACKMAIL DANI??? WHAT THE FUCK NED

well at least its not a complete failure :/

i cannot tell how much this is ned being a dipshit or clint just enjoying pontificating in ned’s voice and i'm more inclined to forgive the latter because he does have a good ass voice

"I AM ALWAYS SUPER WEIRD" yes, yes you are ned

s u s p i c i o u s l y 

NED NO YOU DUMB ASS, JUST PUT IT BACK AND COME BACK LATER FOR IT NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS!!! I HAVE NEVER BURGLED ANYTHING IN MY LIFE AND I HAVE BETTER THIEVING INSTINCTS THAN YOU

"you're a good son" aww clint, you’re a good dad

very not great!

"i forgot i was mama" ilu griffin

duck why are you trying to cover for him???

i feel like they're not panicking enough and idk if that's because they know he's fine irl or because they're just not that attached to ned :/

why do i have a feeling this'll lead back to vincent... they haven't mentioned vincent in a while and i have some suspicions about him on the back burner

i love that duck has asthma now, i need to write a fic on that

"more people more poking" ilu aubrey

nice! two weeks in a row! we'll probably get the arc's finale next week! :D

duck's scene feat. leo

"since big pizza hut came for my small business" love this

they weren't worth the luck point trav spent to save them lmao

god i love you duck

honestly i'd be comforted knowing i wouldn't die alone

oh eww :(

"looked like a real nurturer duck" 

PLEASE MAKE THAT DECISION GRIFFIN (for real tho cigarettes are disgusting and if you smoke stay 10000+ ft away from me with your cancerous fog)

jesus, leo's really kinda suicidal here isn’t he? :(

the thin man? oh fun it's from the 1930′s :o

ilu vincent, i know i’m suspicious of you but i love you

wait where was the goat joke in there???

I MADE! A GHOST!

aubrey is either earth's version of sylvain or a reincarnation of her, that's my theory and i'm sticking to it

IS... IS AUBREY THE INTERPRETER? IS THIS WHY SHE CAN READ THE LITTLE GIRL'S THOUGHTS??? IS THE LITTLE GIRL NOT THE ACTUAL INTERPRETER????? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

sacrifice? transaction? god this is so much good theory fodder

aubrey ilu my baby

there are only ten minutes left and i worry

the count gilu hotel, love it

sweet, more british accent :D

THE GINGER DEAD MAN

IS THAT HOW YOU THINK BRITISH PEOPLE PRONOUNCE "PENCHANT" GRIFFIN???

"oh my god ned!" i have the feeling they've had this argument before and i love the vibes that gives off

NICE! good roll, love it

you're giving him a shitty truck ned?????

... IS HE DYING??? IS BOYD DYING?????

"affection" these old boyfriends omg

aww :(((

HE WAS FAKING HOLY SHIT

OH HOLY SHIT, BOYD’S DEAD, OH GOD, HOLY FUCK 

WELP, I'M TERRIFIED AND ALSO SAD NOW, WHAT THE FUCK! of all the weeks to have two episodes back to back i’m really glad its these, fuck

also, quick side note, thank you guys for all the attention my post about dewey being married got! the boys have yet to address the long-term implications of specter-dewey but i hope they do eventually lmao

[ghosty-schnibibit]

new taz liveblog under the cut ^o^

just from the description i am so worried for my boy duck, here we go

oh dang this is a long ass recording, you weren’t kidding griffin

minerva :D

"only duck can see minerva" oooh this is gonna be awkward as hell, and also maybe cause some interesting narrative tension in the group

aww ned :')

"i feel a deep and profound desire not to die" mood

god i love minerva

ned you fuckin coward ilu

"let's get wet n' wild" b a r c l a y

oh no D:

oh snap, this is gonna be dramatic as hell, i can feel it

n u g e t

aubrey my precious baby 

"there's a difference between knowing it and feeling it sometimes" well that fucking hit me where it hurts travis ; _ ;

griffin's monologues make me live

i... i don't really have words to express how much it means to me that travis is making sure aubrey's out to her parents and accepted by them, that even if they don't accept her career choice they accept her. it just makes me feel warm inside and i love it, god bless the mcelroys

oh fuck is this the flamebright pendent? IS THIS THE THING NED STOLE FROM HER??? I'M FUCKING SCREAMING THIS IS SO SAD

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

DO NOT JUST LEAVE IT THERE GRIFFIN!!!!!

duck is a badass holy shit

okay yeah this is a nightmare vision thing

oooooh no i am not liking what this is foreshadowing vis-a-vis sylvain 

this music is so good and yet so terrifying 

DUCK ILU MY BABY

"i know you're not a friend of my mom cause you're calling me duck and i know she hates that" i am... concerned by this :(

god help me this is so cute

my headcanon duck just looks like safteytown justin so all i can picture is a tiny justin 

hmmm... so the threat isn't from sylvain? 

not a great thing to say to a little kid minerva

"i've got class tomorrow though" duck omg

MAMA :D

OH NO MAMA D:

final thoughts: that was so good!!! a super great finale to a really cool arc! i'm so excited about all the foreshadowing and cool backstory stuff that went down and i can’t wait for next right thursday! i know its still super early but i can’t wait to see what theories spring out of what we learned this episode :D

[ghosty-schnibibit]

taz liveshow liveblog below the cut! ^u^

i have seen literally one (1) spoiler for this liveshow and that is apparently it's canon that krav and taako have a cat? i love this

the caption sounds so fun!

oh dang, straight into the episode then :o

"well justin does" pfffff

i still need to listen to that first balance liveshow! i signed up for max fun during the drive and listened to elementary but not the first liveshow and i need to desperately

"we'll always remember you dylan, where ever you may be, i presume hell" justin mcelroy, condemning rules lawyers to hell

so the old friend is not krav then, i don't think they'd be getting a letter from taako's bf lmao

DAVENPORT :D

oh shit, dav's a pirate :o

he knows taako so well lmao

so he sent them a howler essentially... i just thought about dav sending enchanted audio letters because he wants to remind himself he can talk and now i've made myself sad :(

taako wants to protect dad'n'port awww

"every other month" i'm going to assume that's like... family dinner night, i'm sorry but they meet up way more than that

how would you play a card game with a horse clinton

"let the little kid talk" big bro justin lmao

oh snap dav

THE WAVESMASHER

THE WAVEHUMPER

i fucking love this omg, please someone draw some choice davenchurch art with dav all pirate-y later

i love how like... post-sas davenport is just a laid back crunchy sailor. i cannot wait to see how his portrayal in fics changes after this

so this implies that dav is actually on pretty okay terms with lucretia after sas? hmmm...

i'm assuming that's because barry and lup are in reaper training

oooh new npc :o

and all the lesbians in the audience swoon

taako you lil baby ilu

b a h o o y

her name is orla :D

gotta love that vehicle proficiency

magnus ilu you silly boy

merle wtf... clint omg why

... so how old is davenport??? like the common fandom portrayal of him is around 40's-50's, or at least the gnome equivalent... i know he's still there when magnus dies so he's got at least fifty or sixty years left in him but like... holy shit griffin this is heavy as hell

"oh. just me then. alright." awww :’(

justin's doing taako's sincere voice and i'm fuckin tearing up

get dunked on merle lol

maggie my baby

taako you fucking shit ilu

wasn't a scurvy joke the origin of the key lime gogurt goof??? the circle of stupidity is complete

"what's your symptoms, pal?" davenport confirmed for team dad

"DO YOU HAVE ANY LIMES THOUGH" T A A K O

we are only a fourth of the way in and i have so many notes holy shit

that was so goddamn weird

eww no, merle no :(

oh snap is that krav

WHAT THE HELL MAGNUS

OH SHIT THAT'S NOT KRAVITZ

HOW WOULD A RAFT EXPLODE??? oh that's how

god bless orla

"not every character is gonna be a callback" griffin i know for a fact kravitz is in this episode :/

well that's precious

so davenport lied about the whole thing??? holy shit

poor clint lmao

[ghosty-schnibibit]

late liveblog because i forgot yesterday was right thursday! oops lol

i somehow managed to avoid all spoilers about this episode, really glad i didn't do my usual scroll through the taz tag before i went to sleep last night lol. here we go!

oh no, what was the fuck up? :o

aw, recording buddies!

ooooo, fun!

glad pete's not dead :D

this sounds super fucking cool omg, i need to read up on fate more

oh god i just had flashbacks to my time in the haven fandom

can i just say real quick: i love kirby and i can't wait to see where his character goes. i don’t know why but i get such potential villain vibes from him and i wanna know if my hunch is right

duck the tough boy! love him ^u^

yes, let's get back to kravitz v2

"i don't know" clint sounds so defeated omg

i love these two interacting so much

what the fuck is psychic paper

up... sounds fake but okay

i know this dude is gonna be a (if not THE) big bad but like... he sounds genuinely kind of nice? this isn't griffin's typical smug asshole villain voice, this is closer to more neutral NPCs... where are you going with this griffin, i desperately want to know

stern smiled when ned called him friend and the parallels to merle and john legit made me pause for a bit

barclay oh no :(

oh fuck, this is not good

aubrey ilu omg you're so good at lying

oooooh no she's not, yikes

i feel so fucking bad for barclay omg, ned you dumbass

this sounds so cool holy shit

tact, duck, tact

going for a reducto ad absurdum approach, nice

"that was the time i saved your damn life" CLINT YOU'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE 

aubrey ilu so much

choice breakfast club ref there trav

is that really a thing??? i've never actually seen breakfast club, i just know it via pop cultural osmosis

i'm just picturing my old high school from va beach that was like... so old my dad went there in the 70′s and it was the same building

what do all these terms mean?????

BAD BOY DUCK :0

clint's laugh is the best omg

i'm so intrigued now, like... i want to know duck's full backstory so bad

oh snap, this must be for the swim meet

AUBREY RUSHES IN

so... the old folks are just chillin in the pool. pfff

it feels super nice listening to the maxfun mentions in the ad reads knowing i actually signed up this year (fyi... elementary is a m a z i n g)

pfffff this is gonna be awkward as hell

...oh shit, this is where the "ned takes a dive" bit will come in, isn't it? is he gonna sign up for swim lessons for the grift???

OH NO D:

"well... fuck" you said it my dude

i am so excited to see where this is going omg. i’m glad we’re getting more and more interactions between the PCs, i adore their dynamic so far. also if i can’t sleep tonight i’m blaming griffin’s skills at making the most genuinely terrifying music i’ve ever heard, so good and yet so scary >m<
