I've been trying to figure out how to do fandom going forward. It's so hard to find a place to hang your hat these days! I've at this point more or less abandoned Tumblr, I never managed to warm up to Twitter. When I got into a new fandom and realized I had nowhere to post my magnificent tentacle porn art, I knew I had to finally decide where to put up my tent.
So expect me to be posting about The Adventure Zone going forward. Is anyone who's reading this into that podcast? If you aren't, you really should be--it's so fun. I was dubious about it at first, because that is my nature, but if you've ever played pen & paper (or been wanting to play pen & paper), it's super relatable content that ends up turning into a really quite decent story.
For anyone who doesn't know what TAZ is: it's the three McElroy brothers and their dad playing DND and being massive nerds, surprisingly decent storytellers, and also honestly quite funny. My favorite things about it are:
- Taako (of course)
- Clint and his terrible dad jokes that are sometimes not at all dad jokes
- Knowing that for once, I am not the only one who's not getting a single reference
- These moments when I relate so much to Griffin it hurts because, I, too, have DM'ed a bunch of players too fucking dippy to consistently follow a plot
- The Big Spoiler that I won't mention here because, well, spoilers
- Taako, again. He's great.
I've listened to Balance and the one-off arcs (well, almost--I'm halfway through Dust), and am going to be giving Amnesty a miss for now because I want to check out the new arc and maybe find some folks on here who are talking about it. There's

Tentacle porn, you said? Why yes, I did.
( The Precarious Predicament of the Good Reverend Merle Highchurch )
I also drew Taako (from TV) because of course I did.
( Taako, you know, from TV. )
Soo, how have you all been? Is anyone doing Yuletide? I need to make sure I don't miss sign-ups, I really wanna try and get something written this year.
