kiss-my-asymptote:

Lines in The Adventure Zone that make me want to cry every time

Taako’s “You fucking took everything from me”

Lucretia’s “Please lay down, Magnus I don’t want you to get hurt. I love you. I love all of you.”

Mavis’s “You’re my hero because I know how hard you’re trying, Dad.”

Barry’s “They don’t trust me, Lup.”

Lydia’s “I guess we did still need eachother”

Istus’s “You’re going to be amazing”

Griffin’s “Magnus rushes in” at the end of the reunion scene with Julia

Magnus’s “My friends aren’t strong enough, I have to be.”

Griffin’s “The voidfish rejoiced in your company, Magnus. It still does.”

Merle’s “You’ve got faith. It’s faith in you.”

Johan’s “You’re going to have to fight, and you’re going to win!”

The Judge’s “so much cruelty towards a child who loves them.”

Carey’s “I know what happened. You took the big hit, didn’t you Bud?”

Lup’s “I know we don’t say this enough, but thank you.”

umbrellaxey:

I think that in their earlier years on the Starblaster, when they’re getting to know each other, Barry and Lup try to out-goth each other.

“One time when I was a kid we found a rat skeleton on the road and I made earrings out of its bones.”

“That’s nothing one time I brought a cat back to life in my parent’s garage.”

Taako thinks they’re both dumb nerds and refuses to participate except to confirm to Barry that yes, Lup did one light a skeleton on fire, sorry Barold she’s more goth than you this time around.

And then they become liches and Taako is like “Okay, you both win. You’ve tied. You’re the most goth people in existence. Please don’t do anything more goth than this, I’m begging you.”

They have a beautiful goth-wedding and everyone cries.

And that pretty much ends the whole thing until Taako goes ahead and marries the Grim Reaper like “HAH! SUCK IT! You BOTH lose! I’m more goth than either of you will ever be! I win, assholes!” and lords it over them for all of time.

people always seem to headcanon Lup as the older twin, but here I submit that Taako is actually older. for one thing, i think Justin auto-plays characters as The Oldest Sibling because that’s where he’s coming from, but within the story itself, Taako…

• grabs Lup’s hand to get them the fuck outta there when the Hunger hits the animal planet; Lup wants to stay and fight but Taako is nope’ing for them both
• quickly volunteers himself and Lup to destroy the crystal on the robot planet – a very Older Sibling thing to do
• gives love advice to Lup’s future boyfriend
• so much of The Best Day ever involves him cooking for Lup / taking care of her in a very older sibling way
• his reaction to finding out Lup was gonna become a lich strikes me as very big brothery. he was extremely nervous for her but hid it so she wouldn’t worry, and supported her right to make the decision despite his fears

anyway, obviously they’re twins and it’s a kind of a moot point, but so many people headcanon Lup as being the more put-together, responsible twin, even though Taako spends most of their on-air time together feeding and looking after her lol. I have the sense that pre-stolen-century, Lup would stumble home late at night after starting several bar fights and Taako would be like “have you drank enough water?”

hallelup:

i see your “post-s&s the ipre all live in one big house together” headcanons AND your “no actually they would enjoy their freedom and live apart but still visit” and i meet you in the middle with this:

everyone totally gets their own houses and they live in different places EXCEPT for taako and lup, who refuse to be separated after being apart for so long. thus, the taakitz-blupjeans household is established

it’s a massive fucking mansion big enough for them to simultaneously have their privacy when they need it but also be together as much as they want

and sometimes kravitz and barry will come home after a long day of work and go “ah can’t wait to lay down with my partner and relax” just to find the twins curled up asleep with each other and the Boyfriends™ have to go sleep alone

“hey krav you uh, you maybe wanna snuggle?”

“abso-fucking-lutely not, barold”

“okay okay, didn’t hurt to try asking just this once”

jeinu:

so i legit got this ask a near full year ago and come back to it mulling it over now and then, and i still don’t really know the answer to it!! i know with the twins, i wanted to include facial features of indigenous mexicans (specifically i went with maya peoples) and i had a few inspo-faces to draw from early on.

i also wanted to keep their hair dark (i could never picture them as blonde for some reason?) and sort of wavy or curly. writing this now, i come to the realization taako in his short hair surfer look just has my hair… so maybe i did that subconsciously lmao.

with lucretia, i first drew her in the stolen century as young!luc. i wanted her to be kind of small, wallflower-like as her personality was described, not a whole lot super eye-catching or noticeable about her. old!luc i wanted to be a lot more ornamental/regal looking, so her clothes and hairstyling got a fancier. 

beyond that.. i don’t really have any insight to why i go with certain designs, the process is opaque even to me… i don’t know how i choose certain clothes or proportions or anything, a lot of time i kind of just improvise.
