Silver Tongue

kittyofinsanity:

I love how podcasts have revived this old way of depicting characters. 

Like, people look at old vase art from 2000 years ago, and they know it’s Hades because he’s got an bident, is standing next to a dog with three heads, and/or has a helm on his head.  

I know that funky little elf dude with a (typically red) umbrella, tall wizard hat, and maybe a skirt is Taako, you know, from TV of The Adventure Zone fame. 

The aren’t always the same features, but the iconic looks are present. 

The re-emergence in stories being told with no immediate visual canon means we cling to the few descriptors like in days of old, and that’s beautiful to me. 

my favourite taako traits that the fandom has clinged to (because i dont remember it ever being said in the podcast) is that taako has a large nose and buck teeth which are usually portrayed as ugly features but hes goddamn beautiful with them.
