as a friend of mine put it when she listened to taz for the first time: "that time justin and clint jumped in for travis so hard they derailed part of griffin's plot"

[@danielwinchester4759]

Did anyone know what he originally planned for? Also, I love the fact the group knows each other enough to smell fake Magnus' bull.

POV: adventuring party broke the game you were running in an act of friendship so powerful you had to rewrite an entire part of your campaign

[@nicestpancake]

"... you also see a tear in the fabric of space, and it looks familiar. Because you saw something similar to that during your time in Lucas’ lab. It is a rift open to the astral plane where the souls of the deceased go after their death in the material plane. And you are drifting into it, Magnus. Because you’re dying."

AHHH MY HEART *;-;*

🥺🥺🥺 hit right in the feels

[@Katie-mk8uv]

chills

[@lizzyserf]

to think a scene as beautiful as this is all because of a couple lucky rolls

[@notinspectorgadget]

"lucky rolls" Those rolls were ordained by PAN Every decision, check, and Fantasy Costco® purchase was leading to those exact rolls at those exact moments.

"I'll be havin' my body back, you undead fuck."

[@a1overdrive807]

Man I remember the chills I got when Griffin went "bad luck" and this started playing

[@doesthatsoundright3430]

One of Merle's best moments

[@CaribouGirlMeat]

A close second would be "I cast detect magic!" _thousands of voices at once_ *_YES_*

[@ZacharyStiles]

That moment when you roleplay so hard you beat the RPG's pre-scripted Game Over event.

[@phantasmal_detective]

@@CaribouGirlMeat wait when is that?

[@CaribouGirlMeat]

@@phantasmal_detective a live show. The tomb of horrors, I think?

I went through a rough break up in Sept 2021. We were long distance but we had been together for three years and I loved him a great deal. When it was over, I found myself alone in the Midwest without my family or my friends. I was really lost and kind of stranded. My sister started calling me every day to talk. She sent me coffee money so that I knew someone was still thinking of me. She made me playlists to listen to, and she made me laugh always. At night, I would go running, and I would turn this song up to full blast in the final mile, and think about how beloved I was, even when I felt completely untethered. Boys are liminal sometimes-but sisters are forever and always.

Griffin i love you but GRIFFIN

[@CaribouGirlMeat]

G,griffy what the shi t

[@sassycc1558]

The hints of the Wonderland themes in this are fantastic

[@ashleyb137]

There aren’t two dislikes on this video, but if there were they would be Edward and Lydia

[@Duck-mn8xp]

Edward can’t dislike because Lup fucking killed him

[@plants2448]

this whole scene tore my heart out, ripped it up, put it back together, and then smashed it with a big hammer that says "fuck you"

[@almostcartoonishlyawkward]

It was the first time I got properly choked up listening to TAZ, and I said out loud to nobody "Griffin how dare you!"

[@PragmaticProsecutor]

I love how the hopeful melody fades in as the soft piano then builds and swells into something triumphant

[@Jellyfishcollector]

One of the best songs in the album

[@onecoolguy4526]

Love how much emotion the mcelroys bring out, even without the music. It amazes me how much griffin can pull at their heartstrings with just his words

[@spitfireyj7324]

This one gives me chillbumps every bloody time

[@Chernobog34]

"You landed on skull in the last round, didn't you?" "Yes." "....Bad luck."

This song, plus amnesty soundtrack, hits so f-ing hard for me. It's incredible.

[@hedgehogmind3186]

Some of the tracks sound like it comes from bastion and homestuck

[@simonkristansen5192]

Both Bastion and Griffin used garage band, so its a lot of the same samples

bastion?

Loki's theme sounds suspiciously similar 🤔

I’m glad someone else heard it

lol that's what I was thinking

[@Tanakee]

2 years late but I was looking for another comment like this, thought I was going crazy hearing that similarity!

Sounds suspiciously like the Loki theme
