[one-true-houselight]

Bumper sticker that reads, My Other Car is Upsy, Your Lifting Friend

[murdercene]

im rereading the crystal kingdom graphic novel. this is upsy.

he has this on the bottom.

this is a soul battery like the other robots have. heres noelle and maarvy/jenkins/magic brian.

upsy used to be a person. upsy your lifting friend was a person who died and their soul was put into the body horror elevator and i Dont Like That

[terezis]

listening to the crystal kingdom again and i would just like everyone to know that upsy your good lifting friend has the exact same voice as sticky fingers paul pantry from steeplechase. do with that information what u will. thank u

@prosopopeya tagged me in an ask meme to name 10 of my favorite characters from 10 different fandoms.

This was in March of 2023, which honestly makes this one of my faster responses to ask memes :-)

I'm not very good at picking favorite things because it always seems like it comes at the expense of everything else, but here are ten characters I definitely like from ten different fandoms!

Murderbot, from The Murderbot Diaries

Mancomb Seepgood, from The Curse of Monkey Island

The Luggage, from several Terry Pratchett books

Arthur Dent, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Zeph, from Killjoys

The number 3, from 3 in Three

Parker, from Leverage

Upsy, Your Lifting Friend, from The Adventure Zone: Balance

Bouldy, from Hades (the game, not the place)

Avanash, from Escape From the Bloodkeep

Tagging: @eikotheblue, @shacklesburst, @regexkind, @athenasdragon, @loryer496, @eilooxara, @asmuchasidliketo, @goatsgomoo, @doraguin-blog, and @marlynnofmany.

also ngl saying "i want to send that elevator to hell but i'm afraid it'd come back up" is one of the funniest ways i've described my feelings toward upsy your lifting friend

[boatcats]

The other thing I had to do today was make a Mr. Upsy Your Lifting Friend t-shirt.

[yardsards]

what are your favorite taz songs? or for a more interesting answer, what is your favorite song per arc?

gonna go by album here

crystal kingdom:

upsy your lifting friend

honourable mentions to: the elevator of tomorrow, madame director

eleventh hour:

the davy lamp

honourable mentions to: paloma, roswell

suffering game:

wonderland round 3

honourable mentions to: the felicity wilds

stolen century/story and song:

a rebuilding year

honourable mentions to: no dogs on the beach, lucretia/lucretia reprise, julia by reeder (not by griffin/not on the album but i love it)

amnesty:

theme song

honourable mentions to: three conversations, belligerence limit, kepler wv

(tbh it's been a longass time since i've listened to amnesty so most of the soundtrack has been divorced from its original context also i've listened to the soundtrack less than balance so i had to kind of look back through the songs to jog my memory)

graduation:

walking the campus

honourable mentions to: tom and jerry, time for class, ALSO this one song that's not on the album and i can't find anywhere that has like horns and guitar and it plays a few times (usually when something badass happens)

ethersea:

the cambrian mutation (it's less good for casual listening than most of my other picks but it does SUCH a good job at conveying its intended mood, it makes me almost physically nauseous)

honourable mentions to: the theme song, the intolerable cost of opportunity (and all of the prologue songs which use that same motif), aboard the coriolis

...

overall, i've listened to the balance soundtrack the most (especially stolen century/story and song) but part of me actually likes the overall Vibes of the graduation soundtrack the most. also i figure there's probably good reasons why griffin hasn't made original music for steeplechase (making a wholeass album is a lot of work and he's probably very busy) but GOD i wish steeplechase had a full original soundtrack. because that theme song slaps and i feel like the overall Vibes of that campaign would lead to such cool music. also also i feel like in an alternate universe where they started making music for balance since the very beginning, i'd be crazy over the murder on the rockport limited soundtrack.

Round 3

[corrodedcoughin]

Steve listens to TAZ Balance in secret one day because he wants to know what all this fuss is about between Eddie and Dustin.

Finally, he just can’t take not talking about it. “Tell me that Sloane and Hurley aren’t like that forever!” He blurts it out, tears in his eyes and Eddie grins.

It’s the only matching tattoo they have. The BOB symbol on their left forearms.

Steve’s just like me…

He LOVES Garfield the deals warlock and gets a fixation on upsy ‘your lifting friend’ I’m talking absolute huge fan, thinks he’s the best character and asks Eddie to draw him. Eddie obliges but is shaking his head the whole time.

Eddie and Dustin make sure they listen to the final arc as a trio and by the end they are all sniffling and wiping their eyes. None of them hold back.

ALSO!!! Steve OBVIOUSLY agrees with taako on his stance with Angus, playing it off like of course Angus is annoying taako has more important stuff to be doing! just like how Steve is always the babysitter (Eddie and Dustin both know that taako loves Angus and Steve loves his kids)

Eddie and Steve as taako and kravitz WHEN???

[rindomness]

what on earth possessed griffin mcelroy to create upsy your lifting friend. this is still horrifying

[prosopopeya]

people have been tagging me in things and i've been doing the classic "looked at notification, thought 'ooh i'll do this later'!, and then promptly forgetting"

the time is now!!!

Rules: name 10 of your favourite characters from 10 different fandoms, then tag 10 people to do the same.

tagged by @brillemos!!!!

the hardest part of this will be remembering randoms other than spn.

Supernatural: this is such a difficult question bc i think on the xyz axis of spn identities, i am a sam-coded dean girl (with a crowley girl rising), and then i think that means cas is my favorite character?? but also kevin tran.

Elementary: this is so tough though bc how can i possibly pick a favorite when JLM's holmes is everything???? however perhaps i can land on: Bell.

ACD Holmes: maybe this is cheating but i don't care anyway i love lestrade, and i think perhaps this is entirely due to the fact that i read katie forsythe/wordstrings' ACD fics before i read the stories. anyway i love g. lestrade with all my heart.

Agents of SHIELD: jemma simmons. also raina tbh.

Torchwood: ianto jones

MCU: bruce banner very specifically in the first Avengers movie and now possibly against my will: bucky barnes. i am woefully behind on everything so i can't say kate bishop (yet).

Teen Wolf: i'm running out of fandoms i can think of but: scott mccall, my beloved.

Heartstopper: nick!!!

Hannibal: chilton, my favorite weasely rat man

TAZ Balance: upsy, your lifting friend. no i won't elaborate

tagging: @marbleflan, @arqueete, @hrello, @banishingsigils, @platoapproved, @sufficientlylargen, @bbcphile, @shan-ael, @spookbot, @spaceoperetta and whoever else!!!!!!
