Your Taako and Lup are increeedible!! I love every single moment of this! Thank you! <3

NGAHATUJNHFBVXZLKCVHAH I... almost cried when the animation loaded up. This version of these characters is literally perfect. Like it feels like they've been pulled from my imagination. And they're beautiful. And then they linked hands, and I did cry. I cried big ol' fat tears.

imagine my surprise when one of my favorite RVB artists from tumblr pops up with a gorgeous video from one of my OTHER favorite fandoms on youtube, 6 years after the fact. this is effing delightful and one of my favorite moments in Balance.

MY HEART This is so good

I know I’m late to the Party, but Griffin is a genius. He portrays Lup and Taako’s dynamic perfectly, or any meaningful relationship in that matter. Taako cares for his sister so much that he will do anything that makes her happy, but Is also scared for her as well. And the way she says “you are my heart” really portrays the bond they have.

Phew, this one hurts so beautiful.

Beautiful concept art. ❤

It's all fun and games until Justin said Taako's legs were shaking and he was terrified, that caught me off guard and practically knocked the wind out of me first time I heard this scene 💔 like I was just vibing with this sweet sentimental scene, lil emotional on its own yep, then Justin drops that bomb and idk something about the way he described it, how harshly it contrasted with Taako speaking in his usual aloof manner and then the curtain is ripped back that no no he's really upset by this, when the normal outward Taako doesn't DO vulnerable and scared and upset, so we know it's a big deal when he is... it hecked me up

just put me in the fuckin grave you’ve killed me

wow actually crying thanks

Okay, this is freaking beautiful! I was looking up this clip of audio to draw my own version of this conversation and I’m literally reconsidering doing this scene because I think you captured it so beautifully I couldn’t possibly add anything to it. Thanks so much for making and sharing it 💜

Man I love this show and I wanna watch animations so bad but I'm not that far in yet and I keep spoiling it for myself I'm so so so glad that he's gonna get some character development tho

A sibling bond, especially that of twins, is something very unique and powerful. I think TAZ does a good job of displaying that.

"and that' s something that cant be broken or lost or taken away" oh lup,,, i love your art style! the anatomy is top notch.

omg this is such a good animation I love the art style! <3

I love this animatic well done!!! but oh my god there are details of this scene that just FSDFKSDF show how great this story is, how much heart the boys put in there. I LOVE the subtle way Griffin makes Lup's voice similar to Taako's but it's uniquely her you know? And "you are my heart" and Taako's leg trembling? It's such a well written (spoken?) sibling relationship, with the goofs and with the genuine moments... just as expected from our sweet sweet brothers

shit dude im sobbing in the club rn

i really appreciate you not making lup look cis while also not making her look like a dude in a wig. this is a nice representation of a trans character

You draw hands so well!

This scene was gut wrenching. Beautiful artwork, well done

This art is so amazing.

I adore the “he has my heart but you are my heart” line; it’s such a lovely concept

I CRY BABIES *BABIES*

Your art is beautiful. Wow

This is excellent

Your art is so good! :0

Am i the only one that expected the best day ever by sponge bob?

I love the idea that taako is very feminine and lup is more masculine. Both are beautiful but they rock it in different way

This is so well animated! You really played with their hands, you draw hands really well! But also "that can't be broken, or lost, or taken away" breaks my freaking heart.

“I love him Taako, with all of my heart, but you... you are my heart. You know that right?” quote of the fuckin century (quite literally)

BEAUTIFUL

*Illusion Magic*

"You are my heart" is honestly my favorite line from the entire balance arc

God dawn this is amazing,the animation amazing,the podcast amazing,the characters amazing,the delvopment amazing,everything is amazing

i'm crying at how the camera lingers on taako for lup's line about being spooky and going all ghosty. just a blank stare and it's HILARIOUS

HEY DID YOU KNOW THIS ABSOLUTELY SHATTERED MY HEART

intricate expressions are exactly what this (my Favorite) scene needed thank you i love you.

I started tearing up when they linked fingers, omgggg. This is beautiful

This is amazing

I absolutely love this animation, man! Good job!

“That’s something that can’t be broken or lost or taken away” that line just breaks me, because for 12 years, that was taken away. Every bit of it

hfhhdhfhfhhf I love them

Just listened to this episode today. This is a great scene, and your interpretation of Taako and Lup is perhaps my all-time favorite.

I feel like a lot of animatics that have that sort of realistic, detailed art style are stiff and not very dynamic, but this one finds a really good balance between the art and the movement! Great job my dude 👍

Hey you have an amazing art style

Holy hell, this is so smooth. So crisp. Im in love with your art

This is amazing work. The depth and honesty of emotion is what made this scene great in the podcast and you carried it over so well into drawing and animation.

Taako’s face when imagining Barry and Lup getting married is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. You capture his more complex emotions from later in the video really well, but those two frames are just so sweet. He’s so happy for his sister.

this scene was one of my favorites and did in fact make me cry because lup and taako are such goofy characters but when they aren't that, for me its just like *oh wow now im feeling emotions thanks*. i was REALLY hoping someone had made an animatic of this when i listened to it so thank you so much for it :D

they're so pretty
