Hey everyone! I figured It was about time to update my commissions stuff! Commissions for me are always open, and I’ll do just about anything so long as you go over it with me first.

I’m currently out of a job, so any amount of money helps me do things like eat and get gas for my daily school drives. If you’d like a commission just message me here and we can get you set up!

Quick Question

If I put up commissions, would ya’ll buy? I know this is sudden, but I need a whole new radiator and battery for my car before school starts. I’ll do anything TAZ, D&D, and I’ll even do OC’s... I’ll post pieces of my work for examples if ya’ll wanna buy. I would really appreciate feedback on if you guys are interested or not. They’ll go for cheap too- I just need help right now.

Griffin: You wake up a year later, and you’re on the Starblaster again and it looks kind of rough. Some of those metal panels that one of you, I forget who, recovered from the robot cycle? They’ve been sort of bolted onto just a big hole in the side of the hull of the ship. And there’s a few other components too that have been replaced, and you’re back on the deck and you are in your recorded state. And when you come to, you kind of look around at each other and as you get your bearings you see Lucretia just slump down, her back up against the bridge and her head is in her hands and her breathing is labored and you hear her muttering to herself saying-

Lucretia: I made it. I made it! They tracked me down… and I got away on the ship, but they kept following. For a year I ran and I hid- and I had to fight, and I had to repair the ship in secret, I had to learn how to repair the ship. I was the only one. If I died too- I don’t even know how to fly the ship. I- I fucking made it!

Griffin: And over the next few days she tells you about this year that she had, her constant pursuit by the officers of this court, the marauders in these outlying villages that tried to take the ship away from her, of all these forces that constantly threatened to end her and permanently end your escape from The Hunger for good. And you’ve all had difficulties on this journey, but you’ve never been alone before, not like this. You never knew that weight. And Lucretia lived with it, along with all the other challenges that this world threw at her every day for a year.

And she was different after that, in a way that made the rest of you proud. She never volunteered to stay back with the ship again. She spent less time chronicling your journey and more time participating in it. She became fierce and confident and decisive. She wouldn’t go on to found the Bureau of Balance for decades still, but this, this horrible lonely year, this is when Lucretia became Madam Director.

can we just talk about the character development in arms outstretched for a second?

first there’s merle, the failed cleric and deadbeat dad, who is canonically jealous of every competent person gets close to his team. who sees his two boys leave him - one possessed, one unconscious. but merle doesn’t give up, because he knows he can save them. he has faith in himself, that he can get them back. he summons up a sixth level spell - which was, i think, the highest spell slot he had at the time - and pulls both magnus and taako back from death. 

then magnus, the steadfast warrior, who has lived for love so many times and had it ripped away from him just as often. he’s dying, and he knows that if he dies he’ll get to see julia, and that’s all he’s ever wanted for years - to be reunited with his beloved wife. but he doesn’t go quietly. he says i want to get back to my body, i have to help my friends, and with the family he’s found in merle and taako, decides to live. 

and taako. taako, who doesn’t even have a heart. he looks at a clearly-possessed magnus, a terrified merle, and throws his soul out of his body. not only is he not sure whether he’ll be able to get magnus back, but there is no guarantee that he’ll have a body to return to - edward and lydia could easily destroy it while he’s gone. and then he’d be dead, just like magnus may well be. but he does it anyway. he puts himself in danger on the slight chance he can save magnus. even though he professes to trust no one, even though he doesn’t remember his own heart, he makes a desperate grab for the person he’s come to call a friend. 

arms outstretched really was a defining moment of this podcast. not only did it set the tone for the finale - this is the ending you earned - but it showed how our boys react in dire situations. when things look bleakest, they turn to each other.

Are you telling me the first time kravitz interacted with taako, he passed out, woke up, summoned anime tentacles, blacked out AGAIN, woke up, summoned a horse, and than stabbed one of kravitzs crystal bombs, the size of his fist and ATE IT.
