bloodsbane:

i think it was in the new TTAZZ, when the boys were talking about their first ‘WTF’ moments or like, when things started feeling ‘real’ while playing, and I remember Justin talked about how Taako was actually really upset they weren’t able to save Hurley and Sloan. 

It’s funny ‘cause I do remember that! It was the arc where Taako started really feeling like his own person. He had that little mongoose tangent, somewhat played as a joke, but at the same time (due to the humor, even), it came off as extra earnest and somehow tragic. It really WAS Taako’s first ‘oh shit this guy is like, for real, this character is a person now’

And I remember when Griffin described that Hurley wasn’t going to make it, and the way Justin/Taako sounded so genuinely upset that they couldn’t help! I thought it was really interesting at the time. 

So idk it’s just cool that I also noticed that as a significant moment for Taako, like it’s not just a ‘let me retroactively decide this was the moment now that everything’s over and done with’. It was a really natural growth, you can hear it in the delivery.
