Commissioned @greyhawkrogue for my 90lbs soaking wet insomniac wizard Walter. Now that the commission is finished he'll surely be dying a poetic death within the next 5 sessions

I LOVE THE WAY U DRAW THE TAZ GRAD KIDS!!! ur designs are *chef's kiss* gorgeous and every time i see them i go ;v;

thank you so much!!! I love those boys :’)

#mixed martial arts and crafts #the adventure zone #this reply is a little late but I wanted to sketch up a doodle for it #greyhawkrogue

[mspainttaz]

Would you be willing to draw (and hear me out) anything homestuck 👀👀

its not honest but its work

[i.d. young lucretia, magnus burnsides, and taako are drawn as homestuck trolls. they each have yellow eyes, grey skin, and different horns. lucretia holds a book and speaks to someone. her horns are hooked into right angles at the top with a little bent spike below the top. magnus is smiling and has tall horns that stick upright and then bend a bit forward. taako has one hand on his face and looks amused at something. his horns crook to his left but the right one is shorter. end i.d.]

OH MY GOD okay. we see a closeup of a necromancer saying "rise, RISE MY CHILDREN" and laughing maniacally, w like dark energy crackling in the background, and then it zooms out and we see the necromancer is just kneeling in front of their oven watching their fuckin. popovers bake-- thank you this is an excellent mental image

not to make everything about taz but

the reaper squad has been tracking this bounty for a while, he’s super elusive, seems to know exactly how they operate, is always one step ahead

they finally corner the necromancer in a cave with a.......surprisingly up-to-date kitchen, he’s laughing maniacally, the reaper squad raises their scythes in preparation...

and then their bounty pulls the popovers out of the oven and sets the tray in front of the reapers and pulls down his hood and it’s Taako, you know, from TV?

he’s annoyed because the reaper squad havent been paying enough attention to him recently because they’ve been too busy with work so he got TRQ to write him a fake bounty to lure them in

#the reapers say fuck you taako but they DO eat the popovers #also of COURSE taako makes a batch for trq and istus #thanks for the ask! #raven tag #greyhawkrogue #bel speaks

please han go off abt yasha and her wife i am ready to be emotionally devastated

Oh boy, oh boy, alright. Using the cut bc it got long, predictably. (Also very, very briefly I mention Yasha’s pit fight in here (the one where she threw it as therapy), so brief tw for mentions of being okay w/ dying.)

Here’s what Yasha said, right: “My name is Yasha Nydoorin, I am from the Southern Wastes of Xhorhas, and I don’t know who my parents are, so--” [Veth: ”but your wife”] “--yes, I was married to a woman named Zuala.”

Now real quick the staging of the interaction. The Mighty Nein are unsure how the memory loss going on on this island happens, why the people are forgetting. So, Caduceus decides to get the party to start a ritual of sorts. Every night, affirming who they are, reminding themselves of the ties they have to the world outside of this island. These are the things they don’t want to forget.

(Going further back for staging, you’ve got Yasha who has pretty recently come out of a long period of being mind controlled into hurting people (this includes hurting the Mighty Nein on multiple occasions and almost killing some of them) by Obann. Obann, who has ties to who she was directly after losing Zuala, who has forced her back into being that person. And now she’s been freed from it, but I don’t think she’s fully processed it-- like, sure, she’s talked about it a little and also thrown herself into a fight for therapy, but... takes more than that to fully process.)

What strikes me about it is a) Yasha does not hesitate to say she’s Yasha Nydoorin-- I don’t think we have explicit proof that her last name is the same as Zuala’s, but it makes sense that it might be tied to her, right? Yasha didn’t know her parents and the tribe tended to use titles like Orphanmaker and the Skyspear, so it’s possible that that was Zuala’s last name or a name they chose together. (And what makes me believe more that it might be tied to Zuala is that Yasha has never said her last name to the party when introducing herself, or to anyone for that matter. She’s been rather reserved about speaking about Zuala, I don’t think she’d even said Zuala’s name to the full party before though I might be wrong. It’s not that she’s explicitly hiding it, just that it’s painful for her to talk about.)

So perhaps saying that she is Yasha Nydoorin was her way of including the fact that she was married to Zuala in her little affirmation. At the very least, it’s significant that she used her full name; it means she wants that to be something she holds onto. If they do start forgetting, if those affirmations are all they have, then she wants to remember that part of her name. That’s significant. It’s a part of her. (Fjord, for example, doesn’t include his last name, because that’s not something that is significant to him.)

Also, b) she, in the same episode, suggested that maybe the people on the island wanted to forget, which dang heckin hurts when you consider what she’s coming out of; the mind control and the inability to do anything as she hurt her friends. And the pain she’s been through; losing Zuala, losing Molly. You can’t help but think that perhaps sometimes that has been a thought that crossed her mind; wouldn’t it be easier if I just... forgot? I wouldn’t have this pain. But at the same time, she’s still collecting flowers on this island and like... she’s still carrying Zuala with her (and Molly, too). So like, ow oof my heart. 

And then c) it is only with prompting from Veth that she mentions Zuala. She doesn’t mention Molly. Now, considering all I just said; maybe her last name is a tie to Zuala, enough of a reminder. Maybe her book is, maybe she trusts that to keep the memory of both of them alive. Maybe tM9 are enough of a reminder of Molly. Maybe. Maybe. But maybe she’s also keeping that vague, not explicitly saying it on purpose. If it is a tie, it’s enough of one that if she remembers she Knows and if she doesn’t, well... she doesn’t want to forget, not explicitly, she cares about Molly and Zuala so much and they’re a part of her. But, I wonder if there’s a part of her that wonders what it would be like to forget. The same part of her, perhaps, that knew she wouldn’t die in that fight in the pit but still pushed it, still might not have minded. It’s her towing that line between forgetting and remembering, leaving it up to the world and fate. 

Basically putting Yasha into a situation where she might forget everything from her past, including Zuala and Molly who she’s lost and carried with her, but also including the terrible things she’s done, is so interesting and so gutwrenching for thinking about how she is dealing with it and how she approaches the situation.

(Also, on a meta level, Yasha is perhaps one of the most likely to forget-- if it is a wisdom save, she is historically Very Bad At Those. She’s not the hottest at int saves either. I don’t know if tM9 will be there long enough to suffer memory loss effects but i am still deeply afraid.)

Happy Valentine's day The Adventure Zone, if you do that fandom! :3

When Taako has had nothing else, he’s had his beauty. 

He may be hungry, he may be sleeping on the street, his clothes might be cheap, but people still do a double take when he walks by them on street. 

It’s what makes giving his beauty up so difficult. Even now, when he so much - friends, wealth, power - he’s always afraid of losing it again. And now, if he does lost it all, well. 

He’ll be left with nothing, not even his pretty face.

i almost hesitate to ask but.... pls what kind of dark shit have you done this session

it’s mainly just 2 things but like. 

we were stuck in a room. to get into the room there was a mural of a guy holding his hand up, so we copied that position and the door opened. Once we were inside the doors closed...and the mural now showed the same guy with the same arm raised. except this time the arm had been cut off at the elbow. So in the midst of trying to talk the party down from chopping their own arms off (which everyone was very willing to do in a very self-sacrificing kind of way) Nihility summoned an ape, told it to stick it’s arm into the magic hole in the wall so that its arm was cut off, and raise that arm in front of the door. It worked, and none of our party had to cut their own arms off, but our DM made sure that we felt just. so much regret

LATER ON (after getting trapped potentially forever in a mirror before our cleric used divine intervention and it actually worked to get us out), our cleric got possessed and started attacking us. Also a giant zombie t rex was there. So she’s going berserk and after we took down the t rex we had to deal with her... so my character restrained her. and then we tied her up with a rope and choked her out so that we wouldn’t have to actually deal her any damage. It is worth noting that our cleric is 3. 3 years old. She’s an aaracokra so she’s not like, equivalent to a human 3 year old, but still. she’s so young. Our dm was kind and so it worked, but again, we all felt SO MUCH REGRET

#tomb of annihilation is! brutal! #SURE the ape is double fake bc 1) dnd and 2) conjure animals #but also 1) it's still a fey creature just not an actual animal #and 2) I STILL FELT BAD #also important to note we're just. constantly at half health/spell slots. #all of our characters are super demoralized. my chara's gf (the monk) is constantly trying to sacrifice herself for us #nihility is desperately trying to hold everyone together #she's in a very 'i'll do anything i have to to get us all thru but when we get out im gonna have a FULL on breakdown' mode #so rip her #oc: nihility #thanks for the ask! #raven tag #greyhawkrogue #bel speaks
