The worst thing about being sick, Barry thought, was that everyone said you were supposed to rest. And the worst thing about that is that Barry's pretty damn sure his brain didn't have an off switch, so sitting in bed all day was the worst type of torture he could imagine.

Even worse, he had been supposed to pick up Lup from the airport today. And instead of waiting anxiously by the gate and trying not to think about how easily flights could go wrong, he was in bed, trying not to think about how easily flights could go wrong. At least airports had distractions in them, like screaming babies and panic attack levels of noise and movement.

Barry was sick enough that he wished he was in an airport instead of in bed. It was that bad.

Even- even worse-! Not a single person he knew understood the meaning of "I'm sick, please stay away for a bit." So while Barry was trapped in bed, he could hear the TV playing in the room over. Even further along, if he strained his ears enough, someone was washing his dishes. He should be grateful.

He missed Lup so bad, goddamn. At least Lup wouldn't peek her head into the room every five minutes to make sure he was still alive. She'd just thump a fist against the wall and ask if he wanted soup. And then leave him alone if he didn't respond.

Magnus, on the other hand...

"Are you sure there's nothing I can do?" Magnus asked, leaning into the room. The kitchen sink stopped running and there was a scraping of a chair being dragged across the floor. "'Cus I'm here to help."

"We're here to help!" came Merle's voice from the background.

"Just leave the poor man alone, Magnus," came Davenport's voice, as if he hadn't driven them all to Barry's apartment.

"I, uh, can't think of anything," Barry said like he had said thirty minutes ago. "Maybe just... stop coming in here?"

"Well how am I supposed to take care of you if I can't see you," Magnus said. Barry resisted the urge to roll his eyes, mainly because he didn't want to prolong the conversation. His throat was sore. His head was throbbing. He wished Lup was here. Davenport and Taako were going to pick her up later tonight in his place, but Barry personally couldn't stomach the thought of being stuck with Merle and Magnus for that long. He didn't know how Taako lived with them.

"Just-" Barry coughed and then shivered. Magnus made to come further into the room but Barry held a hand up. He finished coughing and continued. "Just leave me be for now, bud."

"Are you sure?" Magnus asked. Barry nodded, scrubbing his hands over his face. "I'll be right out here til you get better." He gestured to the room adjacent to Barry's bedroom.

"No!" Barry said before he could stop himself. Magnus looked a little taken aback. "No, I mean, uh- I- I do need something from you."

"What?" Magnus asked, with the enthusiasm of a golden retriever who has just spotted a piece of bacon.

"I need, uh..." Fuck, he didn't think this through. "Can you bring me something from the kitchen? Lemon- lemongrass tea."

"I can do that!" Magnus said, now bouncing in place. "I'll be right back!"

He rushed from the room and Barry sagged against the bed, covering his head with his blanket. He could very clearly hear Magnus, who was always a level above a proper inside voice, explaining his tea quest to Merle. And then he could clearly hear Merle digging through his pantry. Lup was gonna kill them if she came back to a messed-up kitchen.

That was not Barry's problem to deal with. It also wasn't Barry's problem to tell Magnus and Merle he owned no tea.

Magnus came back a minute later.

"So, uhhh, I can't really find any lemongrass tea bags," Magnus said. "Or anything for tea, actually."

"Aw beans," Barry said. "Must've- must've forgotten to get more at the store. That really sucks because I need it to get better. If only someone would spare some time to go all the way to the store for me and get some." Barry paused and then, for extra measure, he added, "the store at Valencia and Jonhson corner. Because the other ones don't have lemongrass tea. At all. And that's specifically the one I need."

"I could go get it!" Magnus said. Hook, line, and sinker. Barry tried not to look too pleased.

"You would do that for me?" Barry asked. "I would do it myself, but-" he let out a fake cough, which was a bad choice because it lead to a very real cough. Either way, it proved his point.

"Of course!" Magnus said. "I'd be honored."

"That's so nice of you," Barry said. "Maybe, uh, you can bring Merle with you?"

"Why?"

"Well, uh," Barry really needed to start planning excuses before he said them. "Merle knows tea."

"Is he-" Magnus looked over his shoulder and lowered his voice. The whispered tone was still very loud, but at least an effort was made. "Is he annoying you too much?"

"Don't tell him," Barry said, because fuck it, why not?

"Don't worry," Magnus said. He straightened up, looking like a man on a very important mission. "I'll get it sorted out. Be back in a bit!"

Magnus didn't shut the door behind him, so Barry got to hear the full interaction of Magnus apparently just scooping Merle up and marching outside. Barry sighed, his head pounding. Two problems, out of the way. Now he just needed to convince Davenport that he didn't need to stay in bed.

I'm actually gonna die of dehydration from crying every time I find a new parallel between Takko & Lup and Anthony & Molly.

'Cause like "Hunger" by Florence and the Machine has been a word-for-word perfect Taako song for years now and then today I realized it's also a a word-for-word perfect Angel Dust song.

I can't handle this again! At least last time almost as soon as I was introduced to the fact that these perfect loving twins had lost each other I was given the satisfaction of seeing them re-unite! Fucking lost siblings will be the death of me 8 times over!

#Okay TAZ fandom I'll take my eviction notice now #No seriously listen to “Hunger” and think of our boys and tell me you don't hear it #“you make a fool of death with your beauty” #I mean that could be a very literal Taakitz line #but also like could be a bit more metaphorical line just describing Angel Dust #and I guess the drugs line I could never fit for Taako makes sense now #they're still sharing it #Yes let the Molly + Anthony reunion be phantasmal and resplendent #I'm calling it Molly is badass best girl just like love of my life #hazbin hotel #the adventure zone #taz: balance #Taako #Lup #Taako twins #Taako & Lup #Angel Dust #molly hazbin hotel #Angel Dust & Molly #Anthony & Molly

Thinking nonstop about married or dating takko/magnus during stolen century era and the fucking wreckage it would make of taakos life post canon (/pos)

Like he gets his memory back and his boyfriend? Husband? Has in the meanwhile married someone else and sworn off romance and he himself started dating some guy

And for the first while after canon hes avoiding both of them, hiding with Lup because he Cant just date kravitz now so he has to break up with him and explain hes taken? but magnus hasn't brought everything from before up to him And yeah no fuck all that, its twin time babey (lup eventually locks the three of them in a room together to sort out their shit and it gets messy)

❝ Okay, I call bullshit… ❞ Taako jokes as Scanlan tells a tale of one of his past conquests. Raising a brow with clear skepticism, the elf says, ❝ Don’t get me wrong. You’re cute— ❞ Cue a playful shove to the other man’s arm, ❝ —but you’re not that cute. ❞ — (( *random thought and I Had to send it hgjgbyg* ))

𝄇𝄋𝄋𝄆 < ❝I promise I'm not just trying to take my clothes off~❞

The only way to show proof of his dragon escapade was to take off his shirt, it just so happens. The major blow had been a full-frontal assault, so of course 60% of his body got drenched in acidic dragon eye juice. He undoes a couple buttons, certainly not making the claim any more believable, and lets Takko have a peak.

Just the tip of a presumably more invasive scar is visible an inch or so below his nipple, a streak of a burn.

#//after sometime he shows this puppy off im sure #//for a bit hes insecure but then hes back to himself #//i cant remember what to tag pls help me out #DO YOU SPICE? ; scanlan shorthalt

[whyistaakolaughing]

Taako is laughing because Magnus watched a puppy fall asleep standing and he then started crying while hugging it, trying not to crush it. The puppy then woke up and nipped his finger and he just wants it to go back to sleep so he's just very quietly lecturing a sleepy puppy while sucking the hurt finger.

Honestly straight up adorable ~Mod Takko

Do you think they wanted takko there incase they went nuts like taako is the main magic man and could probably hold his own enough to warn the others

I was fully under the impression that Taako's name was spelt Takko for the past year

honestly while I love the way different fantasy races have different lifespans, I think that storywise it would make the most sense for everyone on Twosuns to have about the same lifespans. Elves say they're 200 years old, but really they mean 200 seasons - they measure years totally different then humans!

I think this allows the stolen century to carry the same weight for everyone. 100 years is 100 years, but when it's only a tenth of your life that gives it a different feeling then when it's longer then you normally could have hoped to live. Now we all get to experience the horrors equally!

This also leads to fun situations if you imagine that in Faerune different fantasy races DO have different lifespans.

Rando elf: hey, I have been wondering, how old are you?

Taako: oh funny you should ask, my 204th birthday was last week

Rando elf: oh neat I'm also 204!

Taako, voidfished to hell: ayy nice! Twinsies!!

Narrator: they were in fact, not twinsies

#(Narrator cont: ....for more then one reason) #Please accept my world building crumbs I just think about twosuns way too much #Also I think it would be interesting if during taako and merles 10 voidfished years #they noticed that they seemed to be aging faster then the people around them #but they had absolutely no idea as to why or how or what was going on #(maybe this is even a contributing factor in merles decision to just up and leave) #I imagine one day the thb are talking and Taako and merle discover that they BOTH have this weird age thing going on #and then they turn to Magnus and he's like ''idk what YOU losers are talking about I experience time like a normal person'' #Taz #Taz balance #Taz Twosuns #The adventure zone #Taako #Taako Takko #If you saw me reword this post one million times no you didn't

If you listen carefully to the second The The Adventure Zone Zone when Justin says "Taako's life is dope and he does dope shit" you can actually hear Taako AdventureZone himself possessing Justin ad providing direct insight to his motivation

[barry-j-blupjeans]

In the stolen century, what if everyone had things they never shared? Little things that grew few as the years went on. What if the years wore down takko seeing his friends, family die over and over. Seeing his twin sister and her dork boyfriend die and become a being of death? His sister had taken a step he dared not follow. Death had taken a new form in his life. And it terrified him, but what could he say? So the words died in his throat years ago, he swallowed the ashes and they sat in his stomach and weighed him down. Feelings that he never shared as he grinned and continued on with life. It was something that never made it into lucertia's books. Yet when his life was stolen, so was the weight of these feelings. When the song returned to his life, the weight slowly returned. It weighed him down that it became noticeable.

Sorry for the word vomit of an idea, its 4 am

never apologize for stuff like this!!! i love this!!!

taako who doesn't know how to bring up emotional topics/thinks it's easier to repress what he feels if it's not positive my BELOVED!! i love the idea that he still carries the weight of all his grief with him, even if he doesn't know why he has it. which adds to the anger towards lucretia bc he could have been healing all this time and he just wasn't allowed to!!

also i wanna add the delicious idea that kravitz is the first one who notices something is wrong. bc everyone cares about him and everyone loves him, but kravitz has gone from knowing his sorta closed off taako to this taako who is so obviously grieving so many things but still won't talk about it. and he might not be a Taako Expert but even he knows that's not how u should process shit??

i do truly think all the birds are fucked up by the stolen century (bc how could they NOT be) but taako is particularly affected just bc of how much he tends to hide and the fact that his first person to go to is lup, who isn't always there and wasn't there for ten years. now that's a different lup, with her own trauma, and he doesn't want to bother her!!! get this boy some therapy!!

idk! the way i write taako's coping is strongly based off part of how i used to cope, which was just: if i don't talk about it, it doesn't exist! im not sad bc i didn't say i was sad! but it's so obvious to literally everyone else how sad he is skdfsdf

i also think he's got some issues w the Lich Idea that he never expressed- mainly that lup was going to keep living after he died. like, you can't unlich yourself (that he knew of then). but he doesn't wanna bring that up bc it's important to stop the hunger n he knows he can't change lup's mind once she's set on something !!

aa!! good food anon! thank u!

Listen, guys. Listen. Taako's last name being a mess is terrible. Like, awful. Have you tried tagging anything with him, ever? Exactly. I hate it. You gotta tag like five different variations and you've still not covered all of them. That's bad. And annoying. And there's little we can do about it.

But why put ourselves through more than we have to? Why bother tagging Lup with the same five variations when there's literally no reason to? Why don't we, as a community, collectively decide against the mess that is Taako's last name and exclusively refer to her as Lup Bluejeans? They probably got married on at least one of the planes in SC, and even if they didn't, it's true love babey!!
