i feel like i always picture taako just like, slightly off from common portrayals. the taako i picture is "femme" not in the sense of "a full face of artfully-applied makeup and an impeccable fashion sense" but in the sense of "smudged eyeliner he applied 3 days ago and a bunch of mismatched clothes he got cheap from Fantasy Value Village that look like they belonged to someone's dead grandma".

"blond" not in the sense of "a natural blond" or even "a bleach blond who does regular maintenance" but in the sense of "he has very dark hair that he bleaches, but he can't be assed to actually keep up with maintenance, so he has minimum 3-4 inches of brown roots at any given time"

"wears jewelry" not in the sense of "wears nice expensive tasteful jewelry that perfectly matches his outfits" but in the sense of "he has a huge stash of cheap costume jewelry with obviously fake gems and he's wearing at least 5 things from it at any given time, with pieces picked purely on vibes and with no regards for how well they go with his clothes"

and if you read that and thought "but taako is supposed to be hot" i dont know what to tell you because if i ran into the man i just described in a gay bar i'd fuck him immediately

thinking abt how lup is one of those characters that haunts the narrative. but in this case you don't even realize the narrative is haunted til later on when you learn. and you look back and see that it always *has* been haunted and the hole where she should be has always been there

Griffin: ah yes I will introduce a fbi agent who’s looking for bigfoot who will slowly over the course of the campaign grow to care for the people of amnesty lodge and I will also of course give him a gay little romantic subplot WITH mr bigfoot himself. So excited to sprinkle that in through the plot.

The PCs, a former weed-smoking-field-hockey-playing-in-abandoned-mall teen, a bi stage magician with little-to-no respect for authority, and a literal ex-con: it’s a fuckin COP stay FAR AWAY from this NARK he must not be TRUSTED

don't mind me, just thinking about how in every other graphic novel cover, the d20 is in the air, bouncing away from them, just out of reach, almost mocking them as it determines their fates. but for the suffering game, taako is on his knees, front and center, pinning it to the ground, umbra staff at the ready. has he got a fuckin' idea for you.

You know, after having met Bitch Riggins, aka Schlabethany, aka Shoebox once again, I had a vision that I need to be realized: Taako and her having a Bitch Off. Like, God, that would be legendary
