why am i so emotionally invested in a fictitious elf's relationship with death..?

BECAUSE IT'S BEAUTIFUL

What if Taako's beauty didnt decline? What if they took his confidence?

“I’m already kissing him, we’ve been apart for too long, this is ridiculous” CATCH ME THROWING MYSELF IN A RAVINE OH MY G O D

[@lightrosebud]

Taako says it was a test but I’m like 90% sure that it wasn’t. My sweet lil boy, I love seeing his insecurities and when he shows something past his confident exterior. Some people say he’s vain because of how much he values beauty, but it’s so important to him and I love ittt

[@0kieD0kiee]

Yeah I always thought that was a defense mechanism, like I think deep down he was genuinely concerned that Kravitz might not feel the same way.

[@j___4408]

hey dude thanks for saving my gay ass life

I think this is my absolute favorite fictional couple, like, EVER. And to think Taakitz started as a joke...

[@j897j]

A lot of important plot points started out as jokes, come to think of it XD

[@audrey9947]

@@j897j hell, Barry Bluejeans started as a joke

[@BAKAROID]

(These comments are so old sorry for the notification asdfghjkl) My experience with D&D is that a lot of things start out as jokes until you get hit with feels xD

[@BAKAROID]

@cata graffigna My tiefling artificer wears heelys and I have a halfling barbarian/druid who started out as *"wait whAT IF SHE'S A BEAR"* and has now ran away from her village, D&D is an experience xD

I'm GAY and IN LOVE with DEATH AND HIS FOOD BOYFRIEND. ITS GREAT. This is wonderful. Kravitz design is *kisses fingertips*

[@sanjanashanker7960]

FOOD BOYFRIEND IM!!!!! INCOHERENT I LOV THEM,,,

[@goose1120]

this is a weirdly specific compliment but i love the way you draw taakos ears theyre so big and floppy and i love him

[@ohthewhomanity]

I love Taako tearing up during Kravitz's reassurances. Made me kinda tear up too :)

[@Wargames50]

Taako playing nervously with his hair, ugh, YES THANK YOU. This look amazing, love it :D

[@RainbowDj7]

My favorite thing about animatics of this moment is that the only difference people make when taako drops the spell is maybe some bags and slightly messy hair like YES THIS TOTALLY LINES UP WITH MY THEORY THAT WONDERLAND JUST ALTERED HIS PERCEPTION OF HIS BEAUTY

[@pearlyp9898]

Years later and I still can't believe this sweet and pure ship derived entirely from Justin doing a bit of Taako trying to rope a pink crystal golem into tentacle porn, bless

I am in love with this ! It's so gorgeous, and I am LIVING for griffin's soft "oh my god" after taako drops his camouflage spell ! I love it when the boys surprise him 😍

[@sanjanashanker7960]

THIS IS YOUR REMINDER THAT THE TIME BETWEEN THE RETURN FROM WONDERLAND AND THE BEGINNING OF STORY AND SONG WAS LIKE A DAY AND A HALF tldr the boys just cannot ever catch a break

[@cask2590]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! Your Taako design is the best I've ever freaking seen, I love it so much (The hair! The outfit! THE EARS!!!!)! Also holy crap, kudos to you for animating this so damn well; you did fantastic! The little nervous tics and small movements you added in (like Taako's ears moving/showing emotion! I love it!) just really nail the emotion in the scene! And the poses are so natural and drawn so well! Well done!

[@strawberrysweet2986]

dude. your hands are so freaking good! like especially right around 0:37, 0:38? that perspective is amazing and the hands look so so good. it's awesome, you're awesome. also i think you might've killed my heart with how cute this is

[@daisykid3]

I've been watching every animation of this scene that comes up in my Recommendations. This is absolutely one of my favorites so far 💜

[@creaturehands]

GOD this is so good!!! *Greatjob* Your art is awesome and your designs are so cute!!!

[@lilahkaminsky8840]

Roxas Watson thank you so much!!

[@umbreonluminol2904]

Did taako's design change at all, i may not be the most observant but i didn't see much change

[@lilahkaminsky8840]

i don’t draw him that differently! the thing is that he didn't like, look completely different or anything, he just looked “normal”, as griffin/lydia put it? i just figured that average imperfections would show up a little better, like being visibly tired or hurt. also, i tend to draw some of his freckles as being kind of sparkly pre-wonderland, so those get dimmer post-wonderland, as well as him having less saturated colors in general, but its kinda tough to show either of those with black and white.

[@umbreonluminol2904]

Oh okay, i do love his design and i think that the lack of change was a bit comedic as well as canon and overall great work

[@salamencerobot]

I just relistened to taz:b and just... God i forgot how much i loved these two. Theyre so perfect for eachother. Theyre both awkward and adorable and clumsy with affection its so sweet

[@Ebloodborne]

Only being able to like this once is not fair and does not do this justice!!!

[@Har1eywood]

Griffin's "oh... god." right in the middle there... that fuckin hurts man. That got me good.

[@allegra4974]

Wow, this is great! I think this is my favorite animatic of this scene I've watched so far, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your Taako design, especially the clothes! And Kravitz is adorable too! GREAT JOB!!! :D

Okay, I only just caught up on Balance about a month or two ago when the podcast was recommended to me by a friend, and: 1, I'm so, so, _so_ gay for every artist interpretation of Taako oh god 2, I absolutely _adore_ how every interpretation of Kravitz I've seen is a black man with dreads, he's beautiful 100000000000/10 I love him a Whole Bunch,,,
