new graduation liveblog! woohoo! *\_^o^_/*

i have almost completely forgotten what happened last ep, likely as a consequence of marathoning through a second listen of tma in two weeks;;;

i’ll figure it out as i go lol, on with the episode!

jesus i forgot how absolutely fucking bonkers this intro was

it's been a couple weeks for me too trav, the refresh is appreciated

someone please draw fitzroy in a link costume, i beg of you

argo brought limes lmao

fish jerky???

clint why has your audio been so shite the last five episodes, it's like the mic is just deciding to fade in and out of its own accord

i'm choosing to think of that nat 20 as going towards the growing friendship between argo and fitz, so not that much of a waste lol

firbolg my sweet son i have no idea what you just said

i love argo so much, thank you for facilitating organic backstory info

oh my boy :'(

aww fitzroy my poor baby :'(

dendra? like rhododendron? is mom the elf then?

"i remember the good gum" fitzroy this is so sad

HOT MINT

oh argo, my poor boy

pfffff, travis this is wonderful dming

fitzroy is me talking to any cat

i am loving this development

... isn't it pronounced like ick-or?

"i'm your little jerky boy!" f i t z r o y

ian, spelled e*h~y*i~a*h~n*n

yes maybe do an insight check

welp, that didn't go too great lmao

clint i cannot hear you at all bud please fix your microphone

so whoever summoned the imps to the hospital is keeping tabs on the gang and wants to keep them from investigating anything, good to know

"i am just a pawn in game of life" mood

ilu ian the cheese imp

i need to go back through my twitter likes and find travis's map

well that's not great :|

"i will not fuck with spider" a wise choice mr. firbolg

the lines between firbolg and justin are blurring and i love it

justin has lost his entire shit lol

argo my sweet boy ilu so much

the good rolls are back :D

bleeeh

jesus christ argo

nice! go firbolg!

GRIP IT AND RIP IT!!!

oh fun, that's a new one :o

fitzroy my dipshit son i love you so much

argo has spells????? oh right water genasi!

oh clint, you really are not meant to be a spell caster my guy

and from the heavens, merle highchurch smiles down in approval at this utterly batshit plan

just watch now there'll be fire in another room

what in the world is this spell fitz

... did they skip room four or was that just room four? i am confused

wouldn't it be prudent to maybe investigate why the imps have avoided this room???

i just got the worst vicarious bad texture feeling of my life, fuck cotton balls, i hate them so much

well that was badass

"be like the wind my boy" i love snippers with my entire heart

... clint where did you hear the word pie???

IT'S THE SEEING EYE HAWK FROM THE BAR

i am very intrigued to see what is up with this nice brouch

"i want a lollipop" me too fitz me too

... why does he want the mercury??? what are you planning justin

green ones are very good

argo why do you need arsenic

yes maybe take a health kit

another week of no ad break??? wtf is going on, i am worried

SNEAK ATTACK

argo is just murdering the shit out of so many imps

it was ick-or in balance, it can be eye-cor in graduation lmao

WELL THAT'S BAD

what the fuck is a chain devil? oh fuck i've googled it and it looks creepy as shit

jesus argo has just been wrecking shop this entire time, damn

now's a good time to burn it to be fair

months??? is what the fuck

i have a strong feeling that this guy is absolutely bluffing 

yup, called it, there we go

HADOUKEN

nice! go fitz :D

doesn't tie go to the hitter?

oh fuck, this guy is beefy

awww, best buddies c:

fitzroy loves his buddies and wants to protect them

oh that's fine! that's okay! not a bad chaos roll

well that was a good move

nice! go firbolg buddy :D

i do not know what this reference is travis

this guy has gotta go down soon

that was the softest and most put upon sigh from travis

well this battle has taken a sudden very bad turn

NICE! go argo :D

god damn, the dnd gods have decided clint gets all the best rolls to make up for "the late merle highchurch rolled a five"

jesus griffin

loving all the ice themed spells this ep

well this is quite bad!!!

travis please don't kill my favorite boy

thank goodness

JESUS FUCK THIS IS GOING TO TPK THEM

oh thank fucking god firbolg

yes, give them a place to chill out, these poor boys

that was so bad travis, ilu but these are so bad

buckminster!!!

.... huh. okay. so buckminster's being charmed, this is very bad.

you're looking for enchantment there fitz

so it just ends there????? travis why must you do this to me

end of episode thoughts: 

i am extremely worried for my boys, especially fitzroy. getting such a stark reminder that bad things are happening to the people around them in the last four minutes of what was otherwise a fairly lighthearted episode really threw me for a loop, but in a way that makes me eager to see what travis has planned.

see you guys again soon!

[ghosty-schnibibit]

multiple days early taz grad liveblog! ^u^

ngl this took me completely by surprise and i didn't end up listening to it until around ten o'clock, it’s a bit before one in the morning as i’m posting this lol. managed to avoid any spoilers tho!

how's everybody doing in quarantine? i've mainly been playing minecraft and doing relistens of various podcasts, and just generally staying home :P

anyways, on to the episode!

i was not expecting that intro holy shit, this is so meta

as much as i loved the sillier intro i missed the pretty music the last couple episodes, i’m glad trav’s found a way for us to have both 

"the offending skeletons" pfff

oh man this sounds so pretty, wow

griffin w h y

well that's terrifying

"your creepy panopticon continues to function" gary serves the eye

yeah who fucking died to make their room available 

awww, is fitzroy scared of ghosts?

does firbolg have ghost hunting abilities???

... that's probably just from the spectral cats tho right

"they're steps of the mind" travis what does that even mean

:o!!! fitzroy the cussing boy

um??? fitzroy wtf are you talking about

yay! crepes for my boy! :D

better than i could do lmao

oh great, more creepy buckminster time :|

... dang, that's an interesting choice. i'm trying to think in-character of what would lead fitz to not telling them, and i've come to four main possibilities: a) fitzroy doesn't trust anyone at the school, even his friends, b) fitzroy hasn't found a way to tell them w/o being in the presence of a gary, c) fitzroy is worried that if he tells anyone they might get disappeared like leon, or d) a combination of all of the above.

kumquat? oh it's those little orangey guys, okay, continuing argo's citrus fixation then lol

"my new hero" can't wait to see all the maplekeene fic that comes out of that line lmao

well fuck that's sad :(

aww firbolg my sweet baby

ilu firbolg :')

OH FUCK, did leon send the broach as a message?

i have never gone from laughing to worried so fast holy shit

... so he's not just mind-wiped, he's being actively controlled

good idea fitz, this is very smart

another moment reminding me of how much i love the firbolg's character and how the other boys interact with him 

yay! my favorite girl is back :D

my sweet boys, these are such bad puns, absolute morons the lot of you

argo my dipshit son ilu

she is a necromancer lol

oh fun! dad lich!

... i need art of rainer as a blupjeans baby stat

"he's not not dead!" i love this description

i cannot tell if that's a euphemism or if he's insinuating rainer is some kind of frankenstein

oh dang :O

fiztroy you absolute ding dong ilu

oh fun, new npc :D

go firbolg, nice

so leon actually managed to get through to the guild before higglemas did whatever he did to him, and hieronymus and higglemas appear to be on the same page vis-a-vis wanting to keep the guild out of the school... fuck

althea, good to know, i'm so bad at spelling, i was hearing it as alfia

yay! i missed the money zone :D

aww, thank you trav

wait is that the end? does taz just not have ad reads anymore???

hey what the fuck, i am worried for my boys trav you can't just drop that on me apropos of nothing

how trippy for the rest of the staff do you think it was that all of a sudden jackyl's creepy voice suddenly turned into a lilting brogue

argo my sweet boy

IT'S AN ANTI GARY ZONE

... is he going to- yep, he's telling him about the hot mint

argo my sweet boy you are a valued member of the group

"hot mint is nothing new" oh my darling

ilu jackyl

what do you mean not from a person? do they think fitzroy is somehow linked to the demons in the forest?

thank you for that trav i am bad at remembering scenery details

i get what jackyl's saying here but like... there are ways for argo to ask fitz about his magic without being suspicious. they're pretty okay friends at this point, i don't think it's too much of a stretch to bring up magic in conversation like “hey, i have magic from my parents, do you think your magic could have come from yours?”

argo that's kind of a hollow threat, i don't think you can leave, they'd probably kill you :/

ilu argo my sweet boy

yikes, goddamn, the bad roles are back for argo

what was the end of that line clint

NICE, good rolls are back :)

clint you absolute dipshit

it's not boring! i'm very proud of clint getting so many good rolls in a row!

i love this so much lol

ooooh, this is some pretty music

fitz is on supplemental levels of paranoia

i can get that rationale, he can't solve anything if he can't trust his own perceptions

so he's taking a crack at artificing, fun times

this is an extremely good interaction, i am loving this

what does your little high pitched HMMM mean fitzroy? what are you doing my dipshit son???

oh fun, drawf then i'm guessing

green and gold were my university colors trav don't do this to me

fitzroy sounds like me every time i fall down the rabbit hole of metalworking videos on youtube and think “i wanna make a sword!”

... huh. i have to go back and listen to ep. 7, but is crabtree part of the unbroken chain? i'd be more inclined to trust her if so, i don't know if fitz would be safe crafting a mind protecting charm with her if there's even the slightest possibility that she's in on whatever higglemas is doing

fitzroy my dipshit son, you are an absolute dummy, you are the worst

griffin you planned an entire campaign around magical items

i don't like the sound of that "oh!"

oh this has gone just about as bad as it could have gone

that is absolutely not going to happen

nice thinking griffin, holy cow

not a fan of the foreshadowing implications of that

precision is certainly something fitzroy doesn't have

yes thank you for not doing that griffin

this is probably a bad idea and i am worried for firbolg

"let the wiki show, your honor" i want to check the wiki now to see if anyone’s added that lol

jesus that's a creepy feeling

griffin you have no right to make me cry like this

justin you've murdered me

welp, this is extremely bad :|

what are you doing fitzroy, what is the end game here fitzroy

okay, okay that's a good idea but this music is very terrifying

maybe also talk about what's going on with buckminster please, i am so worried about leon

i am at odds with myself because i adore the friendship development that's going on here, but i'm also so worried for literally all of them and poor argo is being left out

oh nice, very excited to see how that goes next ep

thank you for lifting the mood some griffin lol

clint you've killed me

oh i am so looking forward to this conversation

so a lot went down this episode, huh? compared to how lighthearted and silly the last two episodes were we got a ton of plot development, and in retrospect i’m glad we had an emotional buffer before things got too hairy. i am very worried for my boys, i personally think travis is nailing the build-up of suspense and mistrust between characters while keeping the danger factor mysterious enough that there’s no obvious solution as to who’s right not to trust who. i can’t wait to head into the tag and see the kinds of theories people are coming up with because dang if i don’t have some thoughts.

see you guys whenever the next ep comes out i guess!

#taz #taz graduation #the adventure zone #taz spoilers #ghosty liveblogs taz #it's late enough at night i debated posting this now and just queueing it for tomorrow #but i really wanted to throw my thoughts out before i went to bed bc holy shit this ep

[ghosty-schnibibit]

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!

[ghosty-schnibibit]

new graduation liveblog ^u^

i don’t really have much to say to start this off with other than that i’m excited for the new ep, and also that it has an absolutely buckwild title lol. here we go!

what even is this intro wtf travis, what are you doing???

TRAVIS WHAT IS GOING ON

"thank travis for travis studios" i’m dying 

oh fun so this is a little bit of a lunar interlude! fun!

"he was a fan favorite on... critical role" pfffff

this is going to be so chaotic and i am so here for it

yeah no, some of these effects are like wonderland levels of character changing and i cannot wait to see how badly things go sideways

not much for those two, cool cool

"no, none of that" thank you trav lol

nice! some money for the boys :D

i figured the title came first lol

you can only use silver keys in the dungeon you find them in

ooooh i want this map, trav plz

dang that's a pretty good idea honestly

fitzroy my sweet dipshit son i love you so much

i want art of these sweet boys going over the playbook

y'all made the exact same fifty shades joke the first ep of balance

what the fuck firbolg

i am loving this entire exchange so much

oh argo my sweet boy, you finally beefed a roll

from a bird?????

merle was the one immune to poison lol

argo is going to die holy shit

nice! fitz the bird catcher

okay cool, good to know the layout

jesus argo, getting those good rolls in

yes, protect your boy!

it'll help keep the rats away though! that's good!

i love firbolg so much

yep, figured that was what was going on

m̷͉̬̬̅́e̶̮̲̲͑-̶͖͗̓͜o̵̘̣̿ṷ̸̲̍̎̂c̶͎̞͒͛h̷̲̉̏

that's some true good dming there trav, admitting your mistakes

pfffff my poor sweet boy, time to un-cat

yes make an intimidation check

oh jesus that's a fun mental image

why do you keep moving away from the mic clint

who would have guessed that between the literal barbarian and the giant firbolg the rouge is the one who does the most physical damage

jesus christ fitzroy is going to die

nice, go firbolg :D

“it mocks you with its presence” ilu so much firbolg

didn't fitz literally just say they needed to keep one alive???

fitz you sarcastic little fucker ilu so much

... is this a goof or is this argo trying to get info on fitz's magic? is this strategic because holy shit if it is i’m screaming

yeah that's probably a good idea

fitzroy my sweet dumb dumb boy who i love so very much, why did you not think to ask if it can speak common first???

what a nasty lil bastard man >:o

argo my sweet baby, always thinking of his friend

fitzroy you dipshit why would you let him go

thank you for investigating my sweet boy

hmmm... so they took something out of the safe?

oh dang, nice dodge argo

thank you kind and benevolent dm

... what was the point of that my sweet boy

????? where was the money zone ?????

fitzroy has turned himself into a hellboy

fitzroy in what world did you think this was going to work

yeah, have you remembered firbolg will die if he lies???

nice! my boy!

S W E E T  R E D  B A B I E S

i do not know how this has gone even this well

if griffin gets to have ten different npcs with brooklyn accents then trav gets to have two npcs sound similar >:T

... did griffin just try to pull out one of the names from cats and bail halfway through???

clint caught it at least lmao

... is that also going to hit- yep, it's gonna hit them all, fuck

yes that is a twenty clint! yay! go argo! :D

jesus argo

YEEEAH GO FITZROY :D

nice! buddies ^u^

"that was four arcs ago!" pfff

i love firbolg so much holy shit

oh yeah, i forgot fitzroy was a glow-stick boy

at least it's not a nat 1 lmao

poor fitzroy just completely beefed it

god damn argo, holy shit, he is the luckiest boy

i don't think the magical equivalent of an electric chair is "gentle" fitz

there's only eight minutes left in this ep, i'm assuming floor two will be saved for next ep then?

ranged attack is the way to go then it seems like

nice! go firbolg buddy :D

"uh... yeah, hold on" that's the sound of a dm who just had some plans foiled lmao

nice! sweet, fitz can fix his poison damage sitch now

i am literally watching the timer go down to 30 seconds, what are we doing here trav

there it is, there's the outro, this was fucking wild

i’m glad we got a bit of a sillier, less high-stakes episode after how many plot-bombs were dropped on us last time. it was also super fun to just see the boys getting to work together outside of a school context! i love them all so much

see you guys again soon!

#taz #the adventure zone #taz spoilers #taz graduation #ghosty liveblogs taz

[ghosty-schnibibit]

first new taz liveblog in a month, and also first taz liveblog of the new year, woohoo! ^u^

after i’m done with this episode i’m going to go back and relisten to everything, i know we’re only five episodes into this season but it feels like it’s been a million years and i need to refresh myself on the rules of this world

jesus it has been so long since the last ep i forgot most of what happened, i have never needed the "previously on" more than i do now

oh we were rolling initiative! okay nice, love starting off eps with a fight

wait how is this spelled??? i thought it was just xorn :?

do not change it griffin, this sounds absolutely fantastic

jesus they all beefed it

wait how much plus to initiative does argo get? jesus

i missed fitzroy's voice holy shit

cool! i forgot my favorite boy bought a cool sword

yay! go argo! first hit of the fight :D

damn that is such a fun descriptor

you don't have to be mean to this sweet boy fitz

oh right! this is the cool table thingy he shared

maybe ya shouldn't have gone for the nearly already dead one :/

... is that a real spell? i think that's a pokemon move???

jesus firbolg, goddamn

JESUS CHRIST FIRBOLG

what about the other ones that died, did they burst too?

go argo :D

they're a bunch of scaredy babies

aww, i like combat encounters juice :(

is clint talking as clint right now bc that is absolutely not argo's voice

well that sure was a noise :|

oooooh i love this music holy shit

pretty rocks :000

he's a night light boy! a magic detecting night light boy!

damn clint is killing it with his rolls today

wait what??? oh no, is this a thrall???

i am so intrigued by this, i have no idea what's happening but i am excited by the possibility of what it might mean

i did too rainier, i did too

"one's a souvenir, two is kleptomania" ilu argo

leon i am so suspicious

fitzroy me sweet dumb baby

so _ _ T T _ _   _ _ _ E ... hmmm

more confirmation that fitzroy is a himbo lol

oh good clint remembered to do argo's voice lol

i don't think that's how it works?

rainier my sweet baby ilu

i love you firbolg friend

B U T T E R  M I N E

oh cool! so they have a way of knowing how close they were! this is a good puzzle trav

so now we're working with B _ T T _ _  _ I N E

i want to go to butter mine now

clint that that scared the shit out of me

bottom line!!! go argo :D

oh fun griffin's back for the ads for the ep

i saw a pic of their new baby on twitter, she's so cute ^u^

i desperately need me some of that twenty-funny merch

oh fun! new dice B)

fitz is just a permanent nightlight lol

WAIT... HE'S A KNIGHT LIGHT

... glew??? travis my boy that’s not how past tense works

fitz my precious fucking dork baby

i think it has hands from the art i saw when googling it last ep

the grand arc of taz is just clint getting better and better at rolling until he reaches beyond even magnus in terms of sheer stat boosts

"yes. it speaks common." pfff

so is it incorporeal? or are the walls incorporeal? hmm...

aww fitzroy, my sweet dumb boy

FITZROY 👏 IS 👏 A 👏 HIMBO

bye bye souvenirs lol

... so the xorn didn't know what was going on? aww poor guy :(

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

gotta get bud to the move reminder lol

"say you're doing something and then let travis tell you no" pfff

NICE, go clint  :D

bye xorn buddy!

we've solved the xorn puzzle :D

fun times, fun times

oh yeah we get to have this scene

is this the music from the scene in episode one? with the thing that was in the dark spooky woods? 

that's a good deception check for one word

aww leon :’(

i am so worried for everyone now, holy shit

back to the goofs lmao

yay! first assignment done, back to school

first new taz ep of the new year! that was super fun! i’m both excited to see where the new threads are going vis a vis the rift and nervous given the little scene with leon at the end there

"why would you make the math, oh god" mood

... why does he want glasses, i love this mental image but... w h y

why has he bought glue?????

"i love this reality" me too argo, me too

they have notebooks of farspeech, i love this

argo why would you

T H E Y  A R E  A L L  G A R Y

ilu clint

i have some references for what dnd weapons look like, i'm gonna pull that up real quick... yeah that is just a big stumpy hammer alright

justin dropping some good wisdom

didn't he say sister before? are there multiple mouse people over there or is jerry genderfluid? i am happy with either option

yay for new candlenights ep! ^u^

oooh, nice name

oh fun, a familiar buddy

i would die for snippers

i find it suspicious that she hasn't turned around yet

"kambucha please" i am so torn between my desire for this to go well for the pcs and my desire to know what fitz is like drunk

what the fuck are you saying fitz

f i t z r o y

travis sounds so broken lol

she sounds very distrustful

the skeletons are cheerful and sweet tho :|

pfffff poor juice lol

oh it's a seeing eye hawk! that's so cool! :D

can i just say real quick i am so proud of travis for including so much disability rep so seamlessly into his world, i'm loving the "this fantasy setting, of course it has tons of cool magical accommodations for people who need them" flavor of world building he keeps peppering in

do not try to have your baby crab fight the hawk fitzroy

ilu justin

i've never seen the prequels griffin i don't know what that means

"what is wrong with you" argo loves his limes

except people who are allergic to peanuts

ilu argo holy shit

someone like fitzroy lol

oh fun, they've unearthed a balrog

... so its a goron

♪♫♬ statefarm is there ♪♫♬

i am also deeply into this plan, this sounds like an exciting quest :D

you're a fucking druid how do you have no pluses???

argo is my smart boy and i love him to bits

a xorn? oh jesus fuck that's a gnarlly looking motherfucker

oh sweet dr. mushroom, ilu

i love the strange absurdity of this world

... that was a long ass pause, i thought i accidentally paused it

xorn xorn

just one of the npcs pay it fitz it doesn't need to be this complicated 

thank you justin holy shit

"i'm a rogue!" "okay" i love argo keene with my whole heart

f y e l p

leon is a sweet shy boy

"we are suing the tooth monster!" i am in love with this set-up

argo my sweet baby what is the grift with the mints

just a good natured mint goof

it's a lil magma dude :o

cliffhanger!!!!!

another really great episode! i’m so happy with the way the plot is progressing, and i’m loving the continuing world-building! also, even though i love all of the pcs this season, four episodes in i think i can say argo is definitely my favorite.

see you guys with new taz in the new year ^u^

#taz #taz graduation #taz spoilers #the adventure zone #ghosty liveblogs taz #i love graduation more and more every episode

[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”

awww, argo made friends with the kitty ^u^

snippers my sweet prince

"i think i take a great deal of delight in that" fitzroy you lil bastard man ilu

clint asking the important questions here lol

you've just described hell travis

did clint already forget the name of the school

jesus that's depressing argo

god i wish i'd had a gary during college to remind me of stuff

i vill tell you the story of melon

i love firbolg and argo so much, they are my favorite best of friends

aww firbolg ; _ ;

fitzroy i am suspicious of where your folks even are

yes fitz get your cloak back you silly boy

i love firbolg so much holy shit

i hope we get to see the boys hang out over spring break, that sounds like a fun episode

"that's good narrative!" travis ilu

oh god the capitalism owl is back

“i vill not do this thing” mood

justin's about to hit us with that sad shit i just know it

called it ; _ ;

... well damn that made me sadder than i expected

i'm still very suspicious about that dog

fitzroy you dumb little shit ilu

make sure higglemis isn't pulling a sazed lmao

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^

#taz #taz spoilers #the adventure zone #taz graduation #ghosty liveblogs taz #i can't believe i'm actually posting a liveblog within four hours of the ep going up #this has got to be a new record of some sort for me lol

[ghosty-schnibibit]

late liveblog b/c i took the time to listen to the first ep over again :P

hey travis? hey- hey travis??? three in the morning travis?????

for real tho i am extremely excited for the new ep, and finally found some time to listen to it!!! this time i won’t have to avoid tumblr for like a week lmao

i can hear the excitement in travis's voice to do the "previously on the adventure zone" message and it fills my heart with happiness

god this music is just so good

how the fuck is that right??? i've played a rouge before and she in no way had a +8 to stealth

let him have this justin

the spectral cat from last ep!

i love argo so much holy shit

that is indeed very upsetting

awww, poor bud :(

oh baby, oh fitzroy my dipshit baby

"it isssss... cat" i love him so much

... argo has never seen a cat before??? poor baby

is he legit afraid of the cat

the voice is already slipping lmao

oh that's adorable! campus kitties :D

that's not a real thing fitzroy

so like a campus card, fun! i had the same thing at tcc lol

i think so? if i remember correctly from the past ep it's shared

"gary doesn't have time for love" :'(

he saw that one post i'm dying

it sounds like trav asked them beforehand, that's a neat way to plan for interactions before they happen and i like it

the dread pirate mary berry

"crush the beef" what does that mean fitzroy

what is this voice clint, you did not have this voice last ep, you've gone from vaguely ned to vaguely merle's fake scottish accent

"this turns to ash in my mouth" i love this

thank you griffin for this in character backstory opportunity

"to be by his side... kickin'" sounds to me like everyone's argo revenge plot theories might be correct

yummy! :D

mind chefs

fitzroy my sweet dipshit

he's a sweet sweets boy c:

"he's a failure" yes and i adore him

... god this class is just me all over

riveau, cool, thank you for the spelling notes

oh dang, that's a cool mechanic, i can see this wielding some potential narrative heaviness later on

i'd say about... a minute is good

i am so nervous for argo holy shit

argo's laying it on thick enough that i genuinely cannot tell whether or not clint got a good or bad roll

that was indeed a seventeen! go clint

... argo :(((

i legit cannot tell if this is argo bluffing the prof or if this is just clint being clint b/c merle and ned both pulled the "so am i getting paid now?" bit multiple times

i trust justin to not make this audio poision

owl professor :D

the dramatic music travis holy shit

so basically the middle ages lmao

"the golden age of accounting" t r a v i s

i can hear justin nearly combusting in the bg trying not to laugh and i am right there with him, this is such good world building but holy shit travis

basically reaffirming from last ep that the entire premise of this arc is the entertainment industry in a post scarcity economy, cool cool

oh my god this is such a mood

i adore bud so much

"sweet bird in heaven" pfff

so this prof is basically capitalism personified... thanks, i hate him

bud is 18 y/o me in my required "intro to college skills" class r/n

i am dying inside, this is so close to my own high school and college experiences, i feel like screaming on bud's behalf

I'M HAVING AP CALC FLASHBACKS TRAVIS, PLEASE LET IT E N D

"and you know what? i believe in you" i don't believe in me right now trav, i'm a 22 y/o adult and i have no idea what most of these words mean

oh god i just got the mental picture of all the other people in this class watching this exchange and it brought new levels of hilarity and abject horror to the situation, jfc i am d y i n g

this owl really is a personification of capitalism, huh? grasping at straws and concocting elaborate fantasy scenarios, desperate to prove that his system works even though it necessitates loss and goes against humanity’s inherently cooperative nature

travis this has gone on for like 15 minutes real time, f r e e  m e

"why did the mind make acorn?" i have never related to a taz pc more than i have in this moment, holy shit justin

sign! me! the! fuck! up!

yes i did trav!!! i loved it and i'm loving this! i am so proud of you!!!!!

aww, poor dude :(

fun! this sounds like a really interesting idea

fitzroy continuing to be salty about his name lol

i want to see the skeletons do the charleston so bad, but more then anything i want rainier to be my girlfriend

poor argo lmao

awww, fun!

f u r b y

nice! :D

JESUS ARGO

nice rolls all around!

go bud!!! ^u^

i don't see how that would help argo???

i'm liking a lot of the skills travis is adding

yes! block for my gf mapleboy!!!

"im feeling dastardly" fitzroy baby, you're allowed to use magic, what you’re doing isn't cheating you absolute dummy

WAIT WHAT

this is badass holy shit, i love these teachers

jesus fitzroy my dude

funky twenty! nice

natural twenty! even nicer

aww, sweet sacrifice boy

fitzroy nearly killed him holy shit

festo???

oh fun! that sounds adorable!

oh god, nm, this character is so weird

jesus christ i am so creeped out

oh my god fitzroy what the fuck, you turned a woman into a fish

aww baby :(((

i am fucking depressed now holy shit

okay, i like festo now

that was a cute lil noise

awww!!! magic pet, i am so excited to see what fitz is going to pick

lil crab buddy :D

poor fitzroy holy shit

oh it's the rouge professor! 

i do not like the creepy whisper voice travis, this is legit creeping me out

i am so fucking worried for argo

who is mariah??? oooh i am so intrigued

rain and stone... this is so interesting holy shit

awwwww!!!!!

"this is nothing" pfff

my sweet boys :')

i! am! so! freaking! pumped!!!

this was another really great episode! i know we’re still in set-up territory as far as how the plot is progressing but i’m already so intrigued in the world trav has made. there’s already so much mystery and foreshadowing going on, both in regard to the world and the character’s motivations and i am here for it! 

i’m actually typing this around 5:30 am and queuing it for later so it doesn’t get buried in the tag, but i cannot wait to see all the art of this ep, especially of snippy lol. see you guys next right thursday~! ^u^

#taz #the adventure zone #taz spoilers #taz graduation #ghosty liveblogs taz #i'm gonna try my damnedest not to be late next time but it couldn't be helped

[ghosty-schnibibit]

i still haven't listened to hootenanny but here's my (slightly late) lb for the amnesty liveshow!

nlg i haven't listened to hootenanny yet bc 1. i've been super busy lately helping my mom make halloween decorations (specifically a paper-mache audrey II that i’ll post pics of once it’s painted), 2. i've been doing another balance relisten and it always feels weird listening to new eps mid way only listening to this now bc i'm procrastinating starting suffering game lmao and 3. honestly, i'm still letting it sink in that amnesty is over, it was a huge part of the last two years of my life and i wanted to take some time to process my feelings about it.

that being said, i'm very excited for some barclay shenanigans! let's go!

whomst clint

oh fun, justin's playing a lady character!

is griffin playing himself?????

is trav going to be playing barclay then? oh that’s weird

as do i trav lol, i will defend target with my life

the ultimate griffin angus fusion

oh this is going to be so sweet, big bro justin

i love clint's character already

this is so good already and i am so excited

"you're doing your best tho" bless you griffy

justin is so salty and i love him

i love stephanie so much

he just sounds like just like angus this is so wild

griffin is now doing karate on his own character, i scream

barclay my boy :D

is stern in these chatrooms

"fuck off bigfoot" i’m dying

now travis is on the end of god rolls

YOU'RE BANISHED!!!

WHY DOES BARCLAY HAVE A GUN oh pineguard probably

mama and thacker probably have a cake waiting for him at the lodge

jesus clint

justin is selling his babiest brother for $17

griffin you little weirdo i love you so much

"they think that i'm a gentleman in a suit terrorizing people" n e d

poor griffin is getting dunked on so hard

i need to google jonathan taylor thomas, i have no idea who that is

"i'm gonna end up eating you aren't i?" jesus stephanie

quickly googling when led lights were first used in cars... 1993! so technically trav could have used them here lol

good fucking pivot my man

i know literally none of these references, this is taking place in a year where i was a literal one year old

griffin is an adorable little emphatic baby

wtf is that clint? oh god no i googled it it's an "erotic drama"

griffin you sweet summer child

chekhov's booklight lmao

stop n' shop n' pump

"i would fucking die if that were true clint mcelroy" 

i love that, in fiction, this is a man humoring this small child

"the basketball magic was in you all along" i love this so much

all i can picture is the fuckin miiverse monster factory

nice! go griffin :D

aspirational basketball court

OH THAT'S WHERE THAT KID’S FROM, i vaguely remember home improvement from nick at night

... the map is going to lead to the cryptonomica isn't it

brigadoon wv

roll to see if this npc continues existing

stephanie i love you more than life

oop, its the forest fuzz

the what clint?????

i have no idea what is going on

i want to date stephanie

what is a forest gun

jesus, griffin has those good rolls

"he's got a city gun!" griffin you sweet baby

i desperately want to know what duck is doing during all this

GRIFFIN N O

chekhov's booklight!!!

IT'S VICTORIA! IT'S THE CRYPTONOMICA :D

oh snap that's today!!!

me too clint, me too

once again justin is the only one doing a consistent character voice, including trav lmao

BARCLAY :D

sheriff owens has their car lol

stephanie is my favorite character and i love her

griffin my babiest of boys

nm justin's just slipping into duck's voice out of habit lol

bless you trav

what the fuck is going on on this stage what the fuck

I NEED A TOWEL PAUL

that would kill him travis

jesus this is... this has gone, so sideways

...is this baby sheriff owens

why is clint so upset i am so confused

it is baby owens!

stephanie i love you more than life

oh my god this is so good

fun fact: i used flagpole sitta to represent act three in the hamlet themed mix tape i made in high school and got an A+ for

"sure, in this world" y'know most of the time with liveshows i'm like i know this isn't technically canon but i'd like to think it is but this one? this time i agree with the boys on the not-remotely-canonical designation, i have not heard something this off the rails since taz: elementary

GRIFFIN NO YOU WILL LITERALLY DIE

oh my god this is really happening

justin loosing it is so extremely good

you're gonna have to get a seven there clint

YEEEEEAH STEPHANIE!

there are ten minutes left, how the fuck are they going to resolve this

mama! :D

baby griffin is the most chaotic evil creature on this earth

what on earth is going on

awww, love ya... whatever the name of clint's character was, i have forgotten already

"he does get fired" jesus fucking christ travis

e m b o o  z e l l i n g

i wanted to know what was up with duck and i got it lmao

in conclusion: what the fuck did we all just listen to

#taz #the adventure zone #do i tag this as amnesty? yeah why not #taz amnesty #taz spoilers #ghosty liveblogs taz #i am so confused

[ghosty-schnibibit]

... i don't remember there being distortion there???

WHY IS THE INTRO BREAKING DOWN

GRIFFIN WHAT THE FUCK I AM INSTANTLY TERRIFIED

... this isn't just old quotes, these are memories we haven't seen before now mixed in. i'm 90% sure that was just a memory from thacker's perspective of mama finally finding thacker possessed by the quell

was that little aubrey getting inspired to be a magician? sweet baby

aww aubrey :'(

and that was duck in class the day after minerva visited him

"wayne newton? that can't be real" pfff

NED :')

I'M SOBBING

and that was it folks! there's the end of taz amnesty! it has been an amazing ride and, unlike balance, one i was actually here for from start to finish in real time. this finale more than lived up to my expectations as far as tying up loose ends and ending on a wonderfully happy note and i cannot wait to see all the art and fic that comes out of it. i love this amazing fandom that’s felt like a home to me these last three years, i can't wait to listen to the next amazing arc the mcelboys conjure up with all of you

see you all again when the ttazz comes out!

#taz #taz amnesty #taz spoilers #the adventure zone #ghosty liveblogs taz #:')

[ghosty-schnibibit]

"weird cloud full of centipedes" GRIFFIN I AM AFRAID

NICE! go duck! :D

#taz #taz amnesty #taz spoilers #the adventure zone #ghosty liveblogs taz

[ghosty-schnibibit]

slightly late liveblog because i took the time to relisten to the last ep first :P

new taz just in time for the head cold that's been thoroughly kicking my ass for the last week to finally subside, nice. i have no idea wtf is going to happen in this ep and i am both excited and afraid, here we go!

slightly worried based on the ep description but not too much

jfc i'm glad i relistened to the last ep or the muffy and winthrop would have thrown me off so much otherwise

awww, buds :')

an army of forestry friends :D

i know i've been avoiding making gravity falls comparisons but damn if this isn't giving me so many weirdmageddon vibes

ilu travis

yes please check on billy, i miss him

aww ned :'(

oh no, what's wrong with billy???

tamagotchi npcs

how is the goat man playing ffvii what the fuck

duck what the shit my dude

oh right i forgot he was in ryan gosling form

"or at least the first form that you met of his" ... and i just remembered that he's a white glowey dude on the inside and am now immediately scared for duck :|

GRIFFIN WHAT THE FUUUUCK

THIS IS SO FUCKING SAD JESUS CHRIST

... he's from a planet somewhere in between? is there a place between the planets linking the... this is the gateway we saw when the shapeshifter tried to portal away!!! that's what he's talking about!!!!!

THERE'S A GATEWAY, IT'S A GATEWAY, THEY NEED TO SHUT OFF THE GATEWAY PLANET TO SHUT OFF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SYLVAIN AND EARTH

griffin you've made me cry over a goatman disguised as ryan goseling who can only say “duck” and “pizza”, how the fuck have you done this

oh my god this music

DUCK HOLY FUCK I'M FUCKING CRYING

rip billy ; _ ;

GIVE ME THE OTP TRAVIS

i can understand why she’d react that way to be fair

janelle ships it lmao

lovable ragamuffin

jesus trav you didn't have to go straight into deathmode

... can they though??? my one criticism of this arc is that griffin has been super unclear as to what the people who've been exiled from sylvain did to get exiled in the first place, and not knowing sort of dampens the stakes because i don't know how to feel about it. now it sounds like the quell is partially why, but i don't understand how dani or any of the other sylphs could have done anything related to the quell bad enough to warrant banishment. okay, mini rant over, back to the liveblog

thank you for bringing us back to shipping and away from meta aubrey

"okay well now i have to live!" mood

YAAAAAAY :DDD

there is literally an ikea catalogue next to me on my bed r/n lol

aubrey ilu my baby but the rambling, my sweet heart please shush

justin ilu so much holy shit

this is so good clint, hell yes

arlo thacker is a man after my own heart

god this is such good character building holy shit

did thacker drag an extension cord out into the woods with his macbook

nice, full success! go thacker :D

... this is fucking horrifying, jesus

god this music is so good but i am so scared

this is where aubrey and janelle were!!!

this has been so emotional so far, damn

yay! i bought the gn on it's first day out hoping it would get number one again ^u^

is it just me or does griffin sound really tired???

... taz what now? is that the board game?

only about 20 minutes left, lets see how this resolves

i think the woods would probably be a good idea... it depends on what role they're best prepared to go for, stealth or manipulation

i like that justin always avoids metagaming at all costs and gives us more dialogue in the process

griffin will find a way to make things go wrong aubrey

thank you for that griffin lmao

well that's not great :|

YEP, NOT GREAT

thank you thacker holy shit

don't chance it aubrey, you have no luck left, please do not chance it

"we can all do things minerva" ilu aubrey

YES THEY ARE YOU USED ONE ON THACKER WHEN HE GOT LOOSE DURING THE TREE ARC

OH NO THAT SOUNDS BAD

NOPE, THEY ARE COMPLETELY FUCKED

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

"this has gone so bad so quickly" NO SHIT GRIFFIN

i've never used a flare gun before i have no idea if that's good or bad

i love you duck newton holy shit

"camera time's over" ilu barclay

... why do i get the feeling that hard move is gonna come real quick from the tone of griffin's voice

griffin what are you about to do

aww barclay :'(

it's stern isn't it

DUCK PLEASE DO NOT DIE HOLY SHIT

OKAY BUT ALSO MAYBE DON'T CLEFT THIS MAN IN TWAIN

oh no this is so bad, this has gone so bad

t a r p o

YEAAAAH HORNETS :D

god that’s fuckin badass

this was a really emotional ep holy shit!!! still plenty of good goofs and dramatic cool moments to balance out the sad parts but damn. i'm a bit more excited now that they've got a plan laid out to get to the gate, but still worried as hell that they’re all gonna beef it lmao.

anyways, see you guys next week!

#taz #taz amnesty #taz spoilers #the adventure zone #ghosty liveblogs taz

[ghosty-schnibibit]

#taz #the adventure zone #taz amnesty #taz spoilers #ghosty liveblogs taz #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[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

#taz #taz amnesty #the adventure zone #ghosty liveblogs taz #veeery late lmao

[ghosty-schnibibit]

almost on time taz liveblog! woohoo! ^u^

i'm going to be dead straight with you guys, i procrastinated listening to the new ep until about 11 pm where i am because i couldn’t bring myself to jump straight into it after waking up this morning from having some weird ass dreams that involved, among other things, a creepy labyrinth-esque nightmare realm with a tilda swinton lookalike fae queen trapping me there until i solved her puzzles. it was just... yeah. just yeah.  

anyway, let's do this shit

starting off with the creepy stern quote from the experimental arc... ominous as hell, i am intrigued

oh that's not great

i love you sarah lmao

"yeah i mean we had a good run" duck my sweet boy

taako used the hole thrower on it, and it was more like 25 seconds lmao

pls travis let your dice mojo work

nice! :D

this is going to emotionally wreck me i can feel it

duck sounds so nervous omg

... minerva is this really the best time for these potentially worldview shattering revelations

herodictorian

aww minnie :')

justin you've murdered me again

"herald of the astral mind” ooooo that sounds badass :o

"this is cool, this is cool" mood

HUG SOME ASS

good i love leo so much

duck likes slim jims, good to know lmao

good to know where justin's lines in the sand are adjklajlkafjlk

s t i n k m e a t

all of this happening while the hornets are still actively fighting off the fbi has massive saying goodbye to everyone before getting on the starblaster vibes and i love it

oh cool :o

i just realized that mama doesn't know about thacker yet, holy shit i hope they reunite this ep

sweet! go thacker :D

poor mama holy shit

mjolnininir

thacker no my boy

"there's a flower emergency" bless

duck when have you ever been smooth

DUCK YOU DIPSHIT

DUCK WHAT THE FUUUUUCK

woofadoofa indeed jesus fucking christ

WHAT IS THE PLAN WITH THIS AUBREY

YEAH MAYBE DON'T LET BARCLAY GET KILLED, GOD DAMN

still better than nothing lmao

OH FUCKING SHIT

can i just say i love when duck's voice sorta creeps up into taako's when duck gets real exasperated and justin starts running out of breath

it's just a hand wound i doubt it would lead to him bleeding out

that's snakes duck

"boy i hope this fails" i love this

whomst???

i love this entire exchange so much omg

duck is into larping i love this

... don't walkie talkies not work in the radio dead zone? or maybe they do, i forgot how it works

that was the most adorable folley ever lol

why does griffin sound like he's about to cry, let the man rest

i want the fanny pack so fuckin bad

that little dm “are you sure?” uptick in griffin's voice frightens me

OH NO, THAT'S FUCKING BAD

i am so worried jesus fuck

yikes that was super menacing

well technically they didn't know the quell was going to be an issue this soon :/

yeah man read him the fucking riot act

... he feels guilty

please let duck roll he has the luck to burn

OH SHIT BARCLAY WHAT ARE YOU DOING

"your best friend" i love this so much

YEAAAAAH NICE, REDEMPTION

joseph stern, cool

oh right that's still going on

that's not great! that's really not great!!!

hustle and flow

alarms??? that's not great

OH NO, OH NO, THIS IS VERY NOT GOOD

IT'S THE DUDE FROM THE RECAP

YEAH MAN CHANCE LANCE THIS FUCKING KNIFE

that's good enough at least

OH FUCK! THAT'S FUCKING BAD!

yes thacker, tackle someone in a chair :|

HE HAS WHAT

m r .  g u n s 

"gladly griffin!" ilu justin

NICE! GO DUCK :D

his gross, vulgar goorp

i love these two best friends

d u c k b e r g

we had a mercy kill last ep can we not griffin

"like ol' mama did" bless

OH THAT'S NOT GOOD, THAT'S EXPLOSIVES

if i didn't ship sternclay before i do now lmao

aubrey sounds like she's gonna cry and i am too ; _ ;

aww barclay :')

oh right fuck they can do that!!!

thacker why are you quoting a poem about leprechauns 

thacker what the fuck you weirdo

oooooh this music is so good

the distortion is making me so nervous holy shit

well that was overall super good! i’m happy that we have mama back and that stern got his redemption, but also fuckin terrified thanks to griffin’s beautiful musical and mental creations. see you guys in two weeks!!!

#taz #taz amnesty #the adventure zone #taz spoilers #ghosty liveblogs taz

[ghosty-schnibibit]

i  a m  d e s t r a u g h t

i legit did not even think this ep would come out today and i spent the last hour relistening to the last one to make up for the fact that i meant to relisten to the whole arc this week. oh well! time to be emotionally destroyed!

oooooh no, i am so worried about all the clips griffin chose for the previously one

don't die duck, please don't die my favorite boy

yes! minerva my love!!!

duck what are you doing

"follow the light" what the fuck duck newton

DUCK IT IS CHARGING AT YOU

spontaneous monster death

"i'm going to beef city!" ilu justin

YES IT DOES MATTER DON'T KILL MY FAVORITE BOY

oh damn that's not good

... so is minerva going to see him basically sacrifice beacon to get to leo? fuck, how is she going to take that???

please someone animate this, p l e a s e

nope, the jet pack is still ford angela-ing around in the woods

did leo bring the jet pack??? oh dang i guess leo brought the jet pack

"you don't know what else could be in there" that sounds like dm speak for there's some good shit in the truck

please let this not be a repeat of merle talking to john and getting five sevens in a row

oh nice! cool! back up weapon!

f l o r e s c e n t  g o r r o

"what's with these five's dog?" what did i just say

how many luck points is duck down to now? i'm assuming more than aubrey but i think less than ned

"extremely, exquisitely dead" jesus griffin

♪♫♬ i can show you the world ♪♫♬

god i love you justin mcelroy

n o r t h

oh fuck, that ain't good

what are you doing minerva???

she's making a connection back to her home planet!!!

at least we don't have to worry about a shot-the-fake-ned scenario anymore lmao

jake my baby boy ilu so much

aubrey sounds so worried

oh now i'm worried griffin

oh no, oh no, this is very very bad

aubrey don't you sacrifice yourself, i can feel that’s the direction this is going, don’t you do it

NICE! GO AUBREY :D

and we're worried about every one of them trav

okay sweet, less worried about aubrey dying now

well this is extremely, extremely bad, holy fuck

aww eugine :(

OH YEAH, AGENT STERN

oh no, oh pigeon :(((

i am... extremely terrified

god i fucking love you aubrey

damn trav go off

DO! NOT! BURN! THAT! LUCK!

i figured that's how that would go, yikes

having never seen twin peaks i don't know that dynamic :|

"y'know what, no?" ilu aubrey

... oh shit, is stern going to be on their side???

never mind, goddamn this ep is breaking so bad, holy shit

mama ilu so much

oh shit i forgot about that!!!

YES DO THAT AUBREY, AT LEAST TELL VINCENT

god bless ilu

"oh shit, ned may have been right" that's terrifying in its own right lol

god damn the music is so good this ep

that's some cool imagery

it was a number of episodes lol

i think ned has grown on me a lot more as episodes have gone on, i really want him to succeed in a way i didn't in previous episodes

that's a great mental image

NED WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?????

CLINT WHAT THE FLYING FUCK WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY HERE

"HERE'S THE THING-" I SURE HOPE THERE’S A THING NED

it was you larry

NED THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK

bless you clint holy shit

okay, at least they got the hornets on their side

eugine no D:

ilu barclay

okay at least mama is being somewhat sensible about this

"I'M A STEALIN' GUY, OKAY!?" ilu ned

oh no not the abomination music

OH GOD WHAT THE FLYING FUCK

YOU CAN'T JUST CLIFF HANGER IT THERE GRIFFIN

i don't even like ritz crackers griffin

holy shit there's still more than an hour left to this episode, fuck

i just took a minute during the ad read to read the description and... oh fucking boy am i worried about every single character but especially ned. i'm pretty sure the deadly risk for aubrey was pulling the wood out of her leg but i'm worried that it might not be, and “confession” sounds a little too much like last rites for my comfort :(((((

MINERVA :D

"tone and definition are important duck newton!" bless

i love you so much minerva

justin is just absolutely fucked this episode, holy shit

oh poor duck :(

aww minerva :')

"TIME TO CLIMB IDIOT" ilu duck

YES! YES! GO DUCK! :DDDDD

i'm gonna google that, oh hell yeah that's sweet as hell

god i fucking love minerva so much

"i have missed your tutelage" bless you duck my sweet boy

oh the beat is picking up this is so good

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD SCENE DUCK

YES! YES!!! YEEEEES!!!!!

THIS MUSIC IS SO BANGING I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

YEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!!!!!!!!

"well that's the thing-" oh no

jesus griffin you did not need to put that much malice into the word “squeezes”

NICE! he's got some of his chosen mojo back! :D

i am so worried for duck holy shit

THIS WAS THE LIGHT FROM HIS VISION

THIS MUSIC IS SO FUCKING GOOD

AND THEN SHE LEAPS, AND SHE'S HERE

MINERVA!!!!!!!!!!

... that's the quell isn't it

oh this is extremely not good, oh christ they're all going to get massacred

oh no were they... is this a mass exodus from sylvain??? oh my god no

AUBREY PLEASE ASK WHAT'S GOING ON

i'm legit listening to this while there's a thunderstorm in the background, nice ambiance

why are they vanishing??? what mission?????

OH NO I AM SO WORRIED I KNOW WHAT SHE'S GOING TO TRY

did he say weeks early? oh my god this is even worse than i thought

yes!!! go vincent!!!!!

"alright" GRIFFIN I AM WORRIED

YES YES YES YES YES, THANK GOD FOR THOSE GOOD GOOD TRAVIS MCELROY ROLLS

I CALLED IT, WE ALL CALLED IT, IT'S A PART OF THE CRYSTAL

... oh no does she not have magic anymore

AUBREY I FUCKING LOVE YOU SO MUCH

dang, that's not great

... oh no, this has to do with the book doesn't it

YES YOU SHOULD VINCENT

this music is so gorgeous oh my god

"i do???" mood clint

alright, fair enough roll

"what ever's inside this thing is also in danger" it's dani isn't it

NED NO, NED YOU DIPSHIT

"are you threatening this sarcophagus?" ilu griffin

alright, not a bad move

ned's going to shoot it, ned's going to kill it and it's going to be dani, this is so very very bad oh my god

IT'S FUCKING DANI!!!!! WE ALL CALLED IT IT'S DANI!!!!!!!!!!

...oh no. oh no oh no oh no. they're going to kill her aren't they

"what do you do?" griffin i am so scared and this music isn't helping

MAYBE BURN A LUCK HERE NED

oh my god this music is killing me griffin

oh my god is... is ned dead???

oh ned :'(

i'm trying so hard not to cry right now and failing so hard

clint you are destroying me here

with love, edmund kelly chicane

oh my god pigeon killed him, oh god

i... i do not know how to feel. i feel heartbroken, on a level i can't describe. i always... in the back of my mind, i always hoped all the pcs would make it to the end, even though i didn't always like everything they did. i always thought they would pull through. but this... it was heartbreaking. and it was beautiful. and it was redemptive. and it fit into the narrative arc of ned's character and his life so well. ned was my least favorite of the core three, but now... he's a fictional character and i feel bad for not appreciating him while he was here. and its a testament to the power of clint's acting, and griffin's writing, and the entire mcelroy family's ability to suck me so deep into a narrative that i feel like i'll be grieving ned chicane for the next week or two at least. there's still about 23 minutes left and i don't know how i'm going to make it though any of them.

... oh god that's why the sarcophagus fell apart isn't it
