TAZ Couples- Falling in Love

First up! This video and description contain spoilers for the end of The Suffering Game and The Stolen Century, beware! Also listen to The Adventure Zone my life is in shambles.
Next: The ads on this are from the Content ID system! I'm not illegally profiting on someone else's music.
It's "Can't help Falling in Love with You" by Haley Reinhart.
This has been floating around in my head for months now, ever since I heard the first line, though it's obviously changed a bit. I almost didn't do it, but Pentatonix put out a cover.
I put off some other stuff (including a 7-minute long TAZ animatic) to get this out before the final push of this semester. I'm not happy with some of it, but I'm also very ready to be done.
I'm hesitantly calling it a final WIP- If I don't publish now I'll spend all my time to get things the way I want them instead of studying.
Welp.

[@marbeltoast]

I do like how "Wise men say only fools rush in" is played over Magnus :)

[@spacetcade]

Henry Gibson I’d like this but I don’t wanna ruin the fabulous 420 likes lmao

[@artzetali3095]

*M A G N U S R U S H E S I N*

[@taakofromtv150]

Well we all know Magnus isn’t that bright

[@dc8179]

I love how the Chug N' Squeeze changed their pottery to bowls and Taako STILL WON'T MAKE THE RIGHT FRIGGIN POTTERY

[@serenepastel]

No one can control Taako’s muse.

[@Rebecca-lk7rz]

True chaotic neutral 😂

[@redjasper6056]

oh my sweet evil spider boy :'c thank you for including him, i'm forever haunted by the fact that he won't get his wedding

[@VoltageSenpai]

um EXCUSE ME. HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME FEEL FOR MAGIC BRIAN.

[@honeyhawk028]

I love that little fucker.

[@lukemcdaniel6545]

Its worse when you realize due to Bearu practices, she wouldnt even remember him. She would just feel a hole where he was.

[@M0GG3T]

ONLY FOOLS RUSH IN CHEEKY

[@pipgoodfellow99]

melt my heart especially with that "take my whole life too" for Magnus...and Taako teaching for Kravitz...aahhh

[@yvetteberner815]

OH NO BRIAN WAS GETTING MARRIED OHHHH NOOOO

[@Whatlander]

This ruined me, but Noelle's frowny face still got a chuckle

[@Emiltee]

Indybot I'm glad you found it funny! At that point I'd bummed myself out, I had to add something a bit silly!

[@isawsevenbirds]

"Take my hand" over Taako reaching for Kravitz is making me cry.

[@mars-ev5mi]

godddd taako reaching for kravitz in the arms outstretched scene............

[@darby1220]

wise men say magnus rushes in

[@unaloid]

seeing the raven and the ram at the end actually made me tear up hdghvdgc WHY DID THEY HAVE TO BECOME TREE

[@lightrosebud]

THEY’RE FINE JUST MADE OF WOOD NOW

[@vickielavigne2696]

Taako is making a vase when it's bowl night it's the opposite of there first date AH I never caught that detail and I've seen this so many times 😂

[@mercury5856]

*opening chords and credits* Fuck I'm going to cry, aren't I? *by end* Holy crap why. I was not expecting MB to pop in there and kick me so hard in the feels. D:

[@kappaross6124]

So, the moral of this story is never fall in love with anyone if you're in a McElroy game of D&D.

[@Voidsides]

shOOT that but with Brian now I’m REALLY SAD. This was so beautiful omf. I also loved that bit with Taako and Kravitz reaching for each other

[@BradGreer]

Today we're making: *_BOWLS_*

[@marsgil6610]

"I change my bowl back into a vase because that's what I fucking feel like making"

[@clottedscream]

Taako's second date, the wine and pottery class is doing bowl night and he makes a vase

[@hanpines3808]

Clotted Scream fuck the rules, you can't tell taako what pottery to make

[@NeonGreyscale]

HEARING THE WORDS "ONLY FOOLS RUSH IN" OVER AN ANIMATION OF MAGNUS IN LOVE ALMOST MADE ME LAUCH MY PLATE OF FOOD INTO THE AIR LIKE.... TOO. PERFECT.

[@bluegummybear8667]

griffin mcelroy fucking slays my heart with these relationships

[@chopsuymatus9349]

Man when the song cut back to Barry and the map I thought they were going to put in the balcony scene, "cause I can't help FALLING in love with you."

[@rook6217]

At first I was :D but then that turned to D: I love the designs for the characters and wow ok I should've known that this would've gotten sad but this was super cute while also hurting my soul.

[@rook6217]

Also MAGIC BRIAN! Unexpected but perfect all the same

[@Emiltee]

I'm happy to hear my character designs were good! Half the reason I did this was to get used to drawing simple yet interesting characters. Also I'm so glad people are recognizing magic Brian!

[@StarrChild.]

Why would you do this to me. Fucking the magic Brian bit got me. Got me deep!

[@baileyroca1216]

like if youre gay and crying

[@haileymclaughlin3961]

Magic Brian :(

[@clownbunniez]

Magic brian my poor poor boy

[@Hannahtheseal]

I barely even know TAZ and i started crying dang it

[@thatonegal67]

Hannahtheseal s a m e

[@randomgooberness]

THIS IS NOT OKAY THE MAGNUS PART FELT LIKE A SWORD STABBING MY GUT

[@pasita0865]

Congratulations, when I clicked this video I didn't know what Taz is and now I wanna see it/hear it just to at least understand the "take my whole life too" part

[@brightey3s231]

When Magnus fell to his knees I couldn't handle my emotions.

[@aisley218]

*gross sobbing at 3am*

[@jjju3]

It still confuses me how there are so many gay relationships in a podcast ran by 4 Heterosexual men.

[@lightrosebud]

4 very cool and progressive heterosexual guys

[@PurpleStar22]

That's what I love about the McElroys, they not only support this sort of thing, they also do they're best to represent it in a positive light. They'll get feedback from people from the LBGTQ community and even listen to any criticism to help better it, even if that feedback happens to be negative.

[@AllegoricSiren]

B-atiful! Someone needs to be gay to have naturally forming relationships between characters? Hm

[@TotalElipse]

Integrity

[@audiovisual_404]

and dont forget the trans character! they're just so good

[@PlainclothesBandit]

"Take my hand" Shows Magnus

[@zesty5890]

First time any vid has made me feel for magic brian- how dare u

[@mekaylaowo1928]

The scene with Taako and Kravitz teaching for each other is gorgeous, I mean the whole thing is, but that’s always what I imagined in that moment, and seeing it like completely shattered me?

[@baileyroca1216]

this isnt fair bc this song just reminds me of the stupid gum commercial that already makes me sob and now you're using that to make me suffer more (but really, good job i loved it so much and i will send it to my friend to make her suffer)

[@juneBug412]

what is this strange salty fluid in my eyes?

[@natethebluekirby2089]

Sans Bones : We call those "tears" friend.

[@Tala-sh9mn]

I think I've come down with a case of tears as well, how can I cure it?

[@velcrooo891]

The Sloane and Hurley scenes had me in literal tears how could you

[@sweatyeggboy8352]

"come scream with me" well maybe i will

[@pixelatedcorpse]

this made me sob actual tears jesus christ

[@bastarddragon6290]

**gross sobbing** Wh-whaaa I'm not- I'm not crying.... You are

[@twobats]

This hurts even worse after ep 66 oh god

[@alicehellman8445]

First half: “aww, cute relationships” Second half: “A-Animator? Animator? Oh- Oh god. Oh no. *sobbing *”

[@TeekyTK]

I'm gonna throw myself of a damn cliff. Holy shit. You've killed me. How could you. Thisissofuckinggreat

[@008TheDen]

I'm not crying! Some jerk must have cast create water on my eyes

[@evolutionsfavoritemistake7132]

This video starting out was so pure and perfect then the second half rolled around and I cried for like 10 minutes How does it feel to know that you stabbed every one who has watched this video in the gut with a feels sword Great job by the way

[@BirthofaPainter]

Thank you for stabbing me in the heart, this was excellent

[@dave1049]

my heart started to hurt the second the video played and then you stabbed me like, as I was just not being in pain, so thanks for that, I guess

[@wendyschwartz7455]

Because of this video I cannot hear this song without feeling an immense weight in my chest, and having tears well up in my eyes.

[@gayaliens6920]

everything about this animatic is so perfect, i wish i could like it a million times over. if you could get videos tattooed, id want this tattooed on the inside of my eyelids so i could watch it anytime i want it's so amazing

[@twobats]

This animatic is almost 3 years old and it still makes me bawl like a baby

[@TeaJayDraws]

IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING!!! That aside, you did an amazing job making this video!!

[@shubsshubs]

HOW DARE YOU PLAY THIS TRICK ON ME I WAS ALL HAPPY AND THEN YOU JUST- AUHG

[@charlottegreen8906]

[@ninatr5219]

[@RaspBerryPies]

[@audiovisual_404]

[@kaygirl2016]

I came for a good time and instead I'm sobbing

[@duke__]

this was so sad but the artwork was so well done. Like I'm happy this exist but it also makes my heart sad. good job.

[@Emiltee]

Thank you! Animatics are a bit new to me, so it's weird to spend so little time on single "frames"! I'm glad it still looks good.

I’ve listened to the whole magic Brian arc two times now and I’m yet to figure out who tf was in love with him??? He was married?.?? Also this was heartbreaking no THANKS

[@Naganonamy]

He was engaged, it comes up in Crystal Kingdom. We never find out to who

[@rigbyu9328]

Naganonamy R oh shit. Well I’m almost to crystal kingdom, maybe I’ll actually hear that this time

[@d3ltadr3ams67]

[@elsear.8435]

[@juice9029]

[@pattykrabbies]

[@heatherrobertson9]

This was gorgeous and I only cried a little bit

[@thelightgeektastic]

"Sorry for the angst," they lied

[@eeyore2754]

I knew I was gonna cry when I clicked on the video, god dammit

[@hazendir]

magnus no. magnus. nope. i just finished the last episode the amount of sad feelings im having about magnus are already too much why do i do this to myself lol

[@pearlyp9898]

[@sewingneedles]

This was really sweet til it started hurting.

[@_lll3vi4ch4n_8]

[@Karoboard]

Not gonna lie, teared up a bit there. Good work!

[@ifart240]

Wow okay, that was like super great but now I'm kinda crying. Cue mixed feelings

[@Emiltee]

Same, this is why I had to create and publish it. If I'm crying over my own hcs its weird. If I make other people cry with me its community.

[@fionasmith75]

Thxs for making me cry

[@sketcherhb3109]

just watching this fucked me up into tears. I am a sappy person

[@lauriebarber9011]
