TAZ gossip from PodCon!

Here’s some stuff the boys talked about at the TTAZZ panel!

-In January when the next experimental arcs start, TAZ will be posting weekly! (Probably just for the short campaigns though)

-The next episode will be the Tacoma live show and then the Nashville one

-There’s an official animated TAZ: Balance trailer in the works! (Clarification: a trailer for the podcast that is animated, not a movie or anything lol)

-The next experimental campaign will probably be Griffin’s Monster of the Week arc

-Trivia: In the very first episode of TAZ, Griffin used a webcam to record video of himself (he was thinking of making it visual as well) and it was mistakenly also hooked up to record his audio. The quality sucked, so Griffin RE-RECORDED EVERYTHING HE SAID ADR-STYLE AND DROPPED IT INTO THE PODCAST WHILE EDITING THE FINAL EP?? EVERYTHING GRIFFIN SAID WAS HIM LISTENING TO HIS WEBCAM AUDIO AND REPEATING IT AS ORGANICALLY AS POSSIBLE INTO A MICROPHONE.

Edit: He added that this was not the last time this had happened.

• There is no talk of finding Moana a husband. SHE is going to be chief of her village. No one can take that from her.
• How Moana is a competent leader before she even sets out on her journey.
• The village seems to have more or less a hereditary monarchy that disregards gender and the matriarchal influence is clear: Moana is mostly inspired by her grandmother and the major deity in this movie is a Mother Goddess.
• “Crazy” does not mean worthy of ridicule.
• The central questions: “Do you know who you are? How do you know who you are?” Those cut deep.
• The sibling relationship between Moana and Maui.
• The vision about the ancient wayfinders. And “Know the Way,” which makes the entire sequence a million times more emotional.
• This might be a Disney Princess movie, but it is also solidly an action movie.
• Moana doesn’t like being called “princess”.
• The goddamn gold-plated glow-in-the-dark giant crab. Who sings well.
• Forehead touches. Between a human girl and a goddess.
• The fact that Heihei manages to do ONE USEFUL THING in the entire movie.
• Moana is so sturdily built. She managed to clock Maui, of all people.
• Nature has agency.
• How Gramma Tala’s passing is quietly understated. Her last words to Moana are those of sincere encouragement and her death is not explicitly shown. But you see the huge luminous sting ray a couple minutes later and you just know.
• The entire sequence at the beginning that depicts island life. And Chris Jackson’s singing. Everyone’s singing, really.
• Moana gulping deep lungfuls of air the first time her canoe overturned is so realistic, I could feel myself choking on ocean water.
• The coconut pirates. They are VICIOUS little fuckers.
• Moana earning a place among Maui’s tattoos.
• Gramma Tala’s spirit is solid enough to hug. No more “LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF SIMBA” from the clouds.
• Disney smashing the fourth wall and throwing shade at their own Princess story formula.
• Romance is never ever ever even hinted at. Because Moana is all of 14 years old and she has bigger things on her mind.
• All the songs. ALL OF THEM. They hit just the right emotional cues.
• How culturally rich Disney managed to make this movie.
• The sheer vividness of the animation. The wealth of expression on the faces of these characters. The colors.

I hope you don’t mind if I add to this

– Moana and Maui tying their hair up (as a native Polynesian girl I can say with full certainty that putting our hair in a bun with one hand is a skill you are born with)

– Maui himself was such a huge part of my childhood I loved seeing him in a Disney Movie

– Seriously, during “You’re Welcome” I was practically screaming in the theater because I GREW UP WITH THAT

– The fact that the water is a character

– Her hair was constantly slapping her in the fact that was beautiful

– During a lot of Maui’s scenes I could see The Rock’s Samoan Culture peeking through (I’m Samoan, this made me cry)

– Maui’s size

– I have brothers his shape and build, with his hair, and with tons of tattoos, I saw them in him and it also made me cry

– Tamatoa

– The line where Moana sings “I’m a girl who loves my island” because that made my heart sing

– “I will carry you here in my heart!” Because yes, yes, yes, when someone we love dies they stay with us-we carry them forever

– The disembodied voice of Lin Manuel-Miranda

– Maui casually acknowledging and respecting nonbinary people (which I believe is actually a cultural nod?)

-A teenage character played by an actual teenager

-The only non-Polynesian actor in the entire movie played Heihei and the villager who suggested cooking Heihei

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

They are indeed purple,
But one thing you’ve missed:
The concept of “purple”
Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names
For a color, you see.
Hence good old Homer
And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint,
A phrasing so old,
For verses of romance
Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red.
Violets once were called blue.
I’m hugely pedantic
But what else is new?

My friend you’re not wrong

About Homer’s wine-ey sea!

Colours are a matter

Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux

And meanings they drift

But the word purple

You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple,

My friends, is old

And refers to a pigment

once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs

From the wine-dark sea

You make a dye:

Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome,

to wear purpura

was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’,

for clothes so fancy,

Entered English

By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets

Not purple in song?

The dye from this mollusc,

known for so long

Is almost magenta;

More red than blue.

The concept of purple

is old, and yet new.

The dye is red,

So this might be true:

Roses are purple

And violets are blue

.

While this song makes me merry,
Tyrian purple dyes many a hue
From magenta to berry
And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race
The answer is staring you right in the face:
Roses are red and violets are blue
Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

IT GOT SO MUCH BETTER.

My reaction, only with coffee.

Hang on, need to send this to my literature prof

i wish real life had savestates

we had an entire fairly odd parents episode on why this is a bad idea

wait which one was that?

magic watch lets timmy turn back time and try anything as many times as he wants

to be fair i dont remember what it was that made it go wrong

Vicky ended up getting CosmoWatch and Timmy has Wanda become a watch that only works for him as Vicky and Timmy repeatedly mess up the timeline to fuck with each other, usually involving cats. Vicky ends up hit by a school bus.

nvm i take it back. great idea

i just rewatched (pun intended) the episode to see what happened, so yeah as long as it only works for me we good. should we redo this post?

yeah, good idea, sorry for interrupting
