sepulchritude:

I know everyone loves the idea of taako’s last name being taaco but hear me out: when they apply to join the IPRE, taako and lup need last names, but they don’t know what name they want to take for themselves. They both finally decide to take the name of the most important person in their life.

And so we have lup taako and taako lup.

But when someone asks taako what his last name is post-stolen century, he blanks. All he knows is it was the name of the most important person in his life. He says taaco.

(Also, the moment lucretia hears taako refer to himself as taako taaco is the moment she realizes just how much she has stolen from him)

leon-the-artificer:

remember how barry was in the room when edward and lydia gave their speech on becoming liches?

i’m sure he was disappointed the first time he saw them – evil liches may be the norm, but it’s still sad to see – but that turns into shock when he hears that they did it out of love.

imagine him becoming slowly horrified as he hears about how losing their brother (their family, a person they loved– ) twisted them into this (and he tries not to think about lup, because his family is right there, but it’s not like they know who he is so what does it matter, they’re practically lost– )

barry is terrified, not because he fears edward and lydia, but because he understands them. there were moments when he almost became them. after he first lost his family, after they slipped out of his grasp with the phoenix fire gauntlet, after taako told him that lup was dead with that apathetic look on his face– for days afterwards, it took all that he had to hold himself together.

so he would fight the wonderland liches. he needed to protect his family, to make sure they were safe. but, despite all the damage they had done (with his relic, this was all his fault anyway, this entire adventure was just a solid punch to the gut) he couldn’t hate them. 

and that may have been the worst part.
