First up! This video and description contain spoilers for the end of The Suffering Game and The Stolen Century, beware! Also listen to The Adventure Zone my life is in shambles.
Next: The ads on this are from the Content ID system! I'm not illegally profiting on someone else's music.
It's "Can't help Falling in Love with You" by Haley Reinhart.
This has been floating around in my head for months now, ever since I heard the first line, though it's obviously changed a bit. I almost didn't do it, but Pentatonix put out a cover.
I put off some other stuff (including a 7-minute long TAZ animatic) to get this out before the final push of this semester. I'm not happy with some of it, but I'm also very ready to be done.
I'm hesitantly calling it a final WIP- If I don't publish now I'll spend all my time to get things the way I want them instead of studying.
Welp.
I do like how "Wise men say only fools rush in" is played over Magnus :)
Henry Gibson I’d like this but I don’t wanna ruin the fabulous 420 likes lmao
*M A G N U S R U S H E S I N*
Well we all know Magnus isn’t that bright
I love how the Chug N' Squeeze changed their pottery to bowls and Taako STILL WON'T MAKE THE RIGHT FRIGGIN POTTERY
No one can control Taako’s muse.
True chaotic neutral 😂
um EXCUSE ME. HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME FEEL FOR MAGIC BRIAN.
I love that little fucker.
Its worse when you realize due to Bearu practices, she wouldnt even remember him. She would just feel a hole where he was.
OH NO BRIAN WAS GETTING MARRIED OHHHH NOOOO
This ruined me, but Noelle's frowny face still got a chuckle
Indybot I'm glad you found it funny! At that point I'd bummed myself out, I had to add something a bit silly!
oh my sweet evil spider boy :'c thank you for including him, i'm forever haunted by the fact that he won't get his wedding
like if youre gay and crying
ONLY FOOLS RUSH IN CHEEKY
melt my heart especially with that "take my whole life too" for Magnus...and Taako teaching for Kravitz...aahhh
Taako is making a vase when it's bowl night it's the opposite of there first date AH I never caught that detail and I've seen this so many times 😂
*opening chords and credits* Fuck I'm going to cry, aren't I? *by end* Holy crap why. I was not expecting MB to pop in there and kick me so hard in the feels. D:
seeing the raven and the ram at the end actually made me tear up hdghvdgc WHY DID THEY HAVE TO BECOME TREE
THEY’RE FINE JUST MADE OF WOOD NOW
wise men say magnus rushes in
godddd taako reaching for kravitz in the arms outstretched scene............
So, the moral of this story is never fall in love with anyone if you're in a McElroy game of D&D.
Taako's second date, the wine and pottery class is doing bowl night and he makes a vase
Clotted Scream fuck the rules, you can't tell taako what pottery to make
Today we're making: *_BOWLS_*
"I change my bowl back into a vase because that's what I fucking feel like making"
"Take my hand" over Taako reaching for Kravitz is making me cry.
It still confuses me how there are so many gay relationships in a podcast ran by 4 Heterosexual men.
4 very cool and progressive heterosexual guys
That's what I love about the McElroys, they not only support this sort of thing, they also do they're best to represent it in a positive light. They'll get feedback from people from the LBGTQ community and even listen to any criticism to help better it, even if that feedback happens to be negative.
B-atiful! Someone needs to be gay to have naturally forming relationships between characters? Hm
Integrity
and dont forget the trans character! they're just so good
shOOT that but with Brian now I’m REALLY SAD. This was so beautiful omf. I also loved that bit with Taako and Kravitz reaching for each other
HEARING THE WORDS "ONLY FOOLS RUSH IN" OVER AN ANIMATION OF MAGNUS IN LOVE ALMOST MADE ME LAUCH MY PLATE OF FOOD INTO THE AIR LIKE.... TOO. PERFECT.
I barely even know TAZ and i started crying dang it
Hannahtheseal s a m e
At first I was :D but then that turned to D: I love the designs for the characters and wow ok I should've known that this would've gotten sad but this was super cute while also hurting my soul.
Also MAGIC BRIAN! Unexpected but perfect all the same
I'm happy to hear my character designs were good! Half the reason I did this was to get used to drawing simple yet interesting characters. Also I'm so glad people are recognizing magic Brian!
Man when the song cut back to Barry and the map I thought they were going to put in the balcony scene, "cause I can't help FALLING in love with you."
Why would you do this to me. Fucking the magic Brian bit got me. Got me deep!
Magic Brian :(
Magic brian my poor poor boy
THIS IS NOT OKAY THE MAGNUS PART FELT LIKE A SWORD STABBING MY GUT
Congratulations, when I clicked this video I didn't know what Taz is and now I wanna see it/hear it just to at least understand the "take my whole life too" part
*gross sobbing at 3am*
griffin mcelroy fucking slays my heart with these relationships
what is this strange salty fluid in my eyes?
Sans Bones : We call those "tears" friend.
I think I've come down with a case of tears as well, how can I cure it?
When Magnus fell to his knees I couldn't handle my emotions.
First time any vid has made me feel for magic brian- how dare u
this isnt fair bc this song just reminds me of the stupid gum commercial that already makes me sob and now you're using that to make me suffer more (but really, good job i loved it so much and i will send it to my friend to make her suffer)
The scene with Taako and Kravitz teaching for each other is gorgeous, I mean the whole thing is, but that’s always what I imagined in that moment, and seeing it like completely shattered me?
"Take my hand" Shows Magnus
"come scream with me" well maybe i will
The Sloane and Hurley scenes had me in literal tears how could you
First half: “aww, cute relationships” Second half: “A-Animator? Animator? Oh- Oh god. Oh no. *sobbing *”
Because of this video I cannot hear this song without feeling an immense weight in my chest, and having tears well up in my eyes.
this made me sob actual tears jesus christ
**gross sobbing** Wh-whaaa I'm not- I'm not crying.... You are
Thank you for stabbing me in the heart, this was excellent
my heart started to hurt the second the video played and then you stabbed me like, as I was just not being in pain, so thanks for that, I guess
I'm gonna throw myself of a damn cliff. Holy shit. You've killed me. How could you. Thisissofuckinggreat
This animatic is almost 3 years old and it still makes me bawl like a baby
This video starting out was so pure and perfect then the second half rolled around and I cried for like 10 minutes How does it feel to know that you stabbed every one who has watched this video in the gut with a feels sword Great job by the way
I'm not crying! Some jerk must have cast create water on my eyes
I never realized how much gay was in TAZ untill this XD
This hurts even worse after ep 66 oh god
FIRST TEN SECONDS AND YOU'VE ALREADY RIPPED OUT MY HEART
HOW DARE YOU PLAY THIS TRICK ON ME I WAS ALL HAPPY AND THEN YOU JUST- AUHG
everything about this animatic is so perfect, i wish i could like it a million times over. if you could get videos tattooed, id want this tattooed on the inside of my eyelids so i could watch it anytime i want it's so amazing
WHY WOULD U HURT ME LIKE THIS
this was so sad but the artwork was so well done. Like I'm happy this exist but it also makes my heart sad. good job.
Thank you! Animatics are a bit new to me, so it's weird to spend so little time on single "frames"! I'm glad it still looks good.
i was crying in the first 10 seconds
ExsUSe YoU ThIS iS SO PAinFul
Well okay i guess i'm gonna feel EMOTIONS today! Very well done!! Super sweet
IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING!!! That aside, you did an amazing job making this video!!
k great thanks i didnt want to be crying at 1 in the morning but here i am
I’ve listened to the whole magic Brian arc two times now and I’m yet to figure out who tf was in love with him??? He was married?.?? Also this was heartbreaking no THANKS
He was engaged, it comes up in Crystal Kingdom. We never find out to who
Naganonamy R oh shit. Well I’m almost to crystal kingdom, maybe I’ll actually hear that this time
Yeah thanks. I really needed that. I felt so bored not crying my insides out. Now I’m addicted too, and can’t go a day without this video.
this is beautiful and im crying in public how dare
OOOooooo boy!! New favorite video to cry about!!! (You did such a good job this is amazing)
I knew I was gonna cry when I clicked on the video, god dammit
I came for a good time and instead I'm sobbing
*_The Feels Are Real Yo!_*
Sobbing. Again.

I'm crying now thanks
How dare you make me cry harder then before D,:
oh my god... the art, the song, the timing... i'm dead ❤
BOWLS ONLY
Okay so like this was very very good and everything, but then it like... made me sad??? How could you??? But I still enjoyed it???
Not gonna lie, teared up a bit there. Good work!
This was gorgeous and I only cried a little bit
my heart hurts now, aaaauuuggh...
Thxs for making me cry
I'm crying,,,,
I AM SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THIS I AM LITERALLY A FREAKING MEEESS WHY DO YOU DO THIS (T-T)(T-T)(T-T)(T-T)(T-T)(T-T)
"Sorry for the angst," they lied
This was really sweet til it started hurting.
my heart
HURT MY HEART
My heart
Hey this is a nice video!! *about 1 minute in* o h
congrats, you made me scare my brother. this is beautiful.
just watching this fucked me up into tears. I am a sappy person
this song reminds me of old spice commercials with terry cruise
ys I cried
magnus no. magnus. nope. i just finished the last episode the amount of sad feelings im having about magnus are already too much why do i do this to myself lol
thanks! im crying now!
This is beautiful and I love it sooooo much
Oh my goooooosh
this is the best thing but also i cried so like
Wow okay, that was like super great but now I'm kinda crying. Cue mixed feelings
Same, this is why I had to create and publish it. If I'm crying over my own hcs its weird. If I make other people cry with me its community.
Sure, just stab me in the heart with Hurley and Sloane.
This is amazing, I cried at the second half :( :')
aaa this was wonderful and made me very sad
