Hey, are you following me on Twitter?? (No probably not because it has been a fossil for 3 years) it’s up and running again and I have lots of new fanart up, @LeelaWagner!
[image description: a drawing of Aubrey, outside in the snow, from the chest up. She’s a thin dark-complexioned woman with short textured red hair that’s shaved on the side. She has many facial and ear piercings. She’s wearing dark red lipstick, a black choker necklace with studs, a red winter coat over a denim jacket and white and gray striped shirt. She’s holding a hand up at an angle, obscuring one of her eyes. The visible eye is bright orange. She’s looking upward with a neutral expression.]
i think a problem I’m having with amnesty is that…most plot lines just keep getting dropped? and npcs forgotten about? this worked for balance because each mission was a distinct thing, in a distinct location. it made sense that npcs were dropped as they completed missions, and that the lunar interludes were spent with people on the moonbase. but it doesn’t work well for a story largely set at a lodge in a small town.
plot lines/characters that have disappeared:
AGENT STERN. he’s still living at the lodge and investigating kepler, yeah? (for laughs, just picture him lurking in the background of every scene.)
pigeon asking duck to work at for the pine guard and not receiving an answer for….like idk a dozen episodes now?
mama’s whole…thing. she wrote a touching letter to aubrey at the end of the mini arc that made me cry, and since then she has been completely out of touch and nothing about her makes sense and they seem to never see her, despite–again–aubrey living with her.
dani. where the hell is dani?
aubrey touching the crystal. that feels dropped too.
where is dr. harris bonkers? has he even been mentioned since the mini arc? i mean, this is obviously a small thing but yeah
kirby, barclay, basically all the side characters that are supposed to help them, they’re just…mia
hollis, hello, where are you?
and this is just stuff i remember, but there’s a lot i know i’m forgetting. it’s especially concerning based on the fact griffin said this campaign would be half as long as balance. that means it’s over halfway done, based on that timeline, and there are more hanging story threads than can reasonably be addressed in that time.
anyway, i don’t mean to dunk on amnesty. i just think the format’s a little off for the RPing the boys are doing.
I think there are more TAZ fans on Tumblr than on Twitter so I’mma gonna post these here. I just started listening bout 6 months ago and now I’m all caught up. Justin tends to make characters I HAVE to draw.

[ID: Digital drawing of Beacon and Duck. First, Beacon is a sword with an intricately-crafted blade and guard. There is a mouth with sharp teeth at the center of the guard. The hilt is checkered and has a green gem embedded at the bottom. The text around Beacon says “My name is Beacon. I am the light that stands at the edge of the darkness. I am the tower above the fog. I am the most beautiful, terrible weapon ever created, and I have spent the last twenty years in a fleaaaa market.” Second, Duck holds Beacon up in one hand and stares suspiciously at it. Beacon says “And hhhow have you been.” Duck says “Oh Christ.” /ID]
Pigeon: I think you got more going on than just protecting some trees out in the woods, not that that’s not noble work or anything, but I think you got something on the side. I think you are doing a bit of monster hunting. And if that’s the case, I gotta follow-up question for you, I guess… y'all hiring?
