not sure if some people missed it in the actual episode or what, but Lup's dab is canon! I included it cause I knew at least a few people would be bummed if I didn't, haha!

"And Barry’s spectral form turns towards you, Taako, and nods, and then lowers back down into his body. And then Lup’s form turns towards you, Taako, and stares for a while, and then dabs, and then lowers back down into her body."

Me at any woman ever

I would just like to call attention to a line from this song (appears earlier than what plays in the video): "My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans" Not only is the song *perfect* for Lup, it's also *perfect* for Barry!

you breathe life into these hilarious, badass moments and make them real in a way that audio alone can not. I don't picture the cast exactly the same way as you've got them here and yet somehow you managed to reach in to my head and pull out exactly what I thought these scenes would look like

you can't escape the red miles

I've watched this video maybe a thousand times, scrolled through the comments a thousand times, read Homestuck about a thousand times, and I just got The joke two years later.

The way you animated Lup smiling and diving backwards off of the starblaster is literally the most badass thing ive ever seen

Within 5 seconds of the video: *DABS*

IM LITERALLY SOBBING THIS IS SO BADASS GODBLESS YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU DO

THIS MAKES ME SO EXCITED I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF

This is literally the best taz animation I've ever seen!!

I fucking LOVE your lich design. The void under the hood with only white eyes and that fanged smile, all that feral joy in her new power MUAH ~chef's kiss~

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! I love the way she twirls off the starblaster and the timing is so good for every shot!

gOD THIS IS SO GOOD. You never fail to actually bring these hilariously kickass scenes to life so brilliantly, to seamlessly, it's actually breathtaking. Hella bummed I couldn't make it to the stream(s) this time round but dear god I'm so glad you managed to crank this out?????? I really hope everything's going well !!! Phenomenal work as always my friend 💕♥️💗💘💞💕👀👌♥️😩👌♥️👀💞💗💞💗🙏💕💞💘👌👀👌💕

I love this so much. Taako’s emotion at seeing the liches rise; the facial expression; sinking to his knees. The badassery of Lup as a lich destroying the pillar. It’s beautiful

That dab was as beautiful as your animations

HELLO THIS IS GORGEOUS BYE

I’ve always been in love with Lup, but oH BOY THIS REALLY SOLIDIFIED THAT

I swear to god there won't be a moment where I'm not completely floored by the amount of time and effort clearly put into your animations. ♡

God you animated that free fall so perfectly holy hell

Great choice to accompany this moment

This is amazing! I can’t wait for more! My heart is going to pop because of how excited I am!

How dare you make something so perfect I love it

YO. WAIT. WHAT. I JUST STARTED LISTENING TO TAZ LAST MONTH. THEY HAVE ANIMATICS? HOLY SHIT.

Just me returning 4 years later. Whenever I come across this video, I know I’ll need a few minutes to bask in its glory. Has never ceased to make me grin like a fool. Thanks for your art, Toasty!

the song came up in a shuffle play and i just had to come back and watch this again hshsjs its as kickass as i remember it to be and more, and its only now i noticed the animation of the starblaster powering up! its such a cool detail and i cant believe ive been missing it!

That wizard on the left at the start dabbed.

THIS IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE YOOOOO _LUP'S DAB AT THE BEGINNING MADE ME SCREAM_

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have been a fan of your work back when you began animating homestuck and things of the sort and to see you create such an amazing animation for my most favorite piece of media EVER gives me such an overwhelming feeling of joy and just !!!! you’re such an amazing animator and artist and i am so so amazed by everything you do!!!!!!!!

The way she turns around the moment before she jumps off the starblaster is full of the exaggerated swagger of an elven woman

Saw this on Tumblr and without your username immediately knew it was you for that badass perspective work on Lup 👌

I've watched this 100 times I'm just so in love with everything about it. The music is SO choice, and the timing and movement is GORGEOUS!!!! You continue to outdo yourself every time!

this is literally my favorite fucking thing, i've never seen someone put so much life into these characters?? the way taako falls to his knees? lup and barry getting up off the ground? the way lup jumps off the fuckin railing?? just fuck me up, man. 1000/10

I LOVE THE DAB!!!! and WOW!!! HOW CAN 47 SECONDS ENCOMPASS THE MOST EMOTIONAL AND INTENSE SCENE? I love every part of this! from the dab to the jump to the lightening to the crackle and Taako's face?? As he falls to his knees??? That small suggestive tilt of Lup's chin before she jumps off! and the music timing!!!! WOW just wow! I cant express how cool and amazing this is! you are so talented!! I hope the McElroys see this!

The way Lup twirls to fall backward into the freefall gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. You've outdone yourself once again, Toasty.

Haha true, they reform at the next cycle anyway so what's the point of staying alive when they're about to leave?

I keep on coming back to this and it gives me chills every time. It is just a stunning piece of work. The line of "tell your children not to do what I have done", or the way the big dark sky really looms over them when the hunger arrives, the POWER of Lup's smirk as she jumps off. The grin with the fangs after she EXPLODES into her power. Poetic cinema

Wooooo! This is sick as all hell!! I’m still so round of you for finishing this Toasty! Shout Out to the stream squad!💝💖

That dab at the beginning XD

When it came to Litch Barry and Litch Lup, I’d always just had a sort of Blanket ghost design in my head but instead of a blanket it’s a red robe, this is so much better and just made every Litch scene so much better for me.

**screams because that's the only way I know how to express how amazing this is**

This makes me emotional no matter how much time has passed

The moment when her teeth flash and she lights up the column is so gorgeously animated that it makes ME feel powerful, it gives me this hysterical sort of scream laugh in my chest that makes my goddamn HANDS SHAKE this is a MASTERPIECE your animation is so fucking smooth I could just die

I've watched roughly ten trillion TAZ animations. This is still in my top three. Just fantastic. The dab. The energy wisps. The attitude. _Ugh._ It's so good.

its literally been 2 years and i still watch this periodically and then GET GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER *ITS JUST THAT FUCKING GOOD*

Holy cow this is so amazing, i love Lup's backward fall. She's so powerful and amazing and you captured her energy so well

gosh ur grasp on 3d space is like.. AMAZING?? and like how the human form looks from different angles it’s just.. ANAZING!! also I love how u do Lup’s teeth sm

Oh f*** this animation is astonishing! I thought this popped up for me because I’ve been watching TAZ animatics, I didn’t realize it was because my favorite animator published!! The perfect storm!

I'm late to the party as I only discovered and listened to TAZ this year, but good god, do I love this. Everything about it is so good. And your Lich!Lup is utter perfection.

Help me I can't stop replaying this it is far too satisfying Toasty as soon as I realized you were into TAZ I freaked out because my favorite animator??? In my neighborhood???? It's so awesome seeing my beloved fantasy family in your style it's like Christmas and my birthday and Halloween combined up in here with double the expected candy

I have watched this video so many times Its one of my favorite TAZ animations So how am i only JUST NOW noticing that you included Lup's dab when she and barry turn into liches sjksks

I LOVE THAT YOU INCLUDED LUP'S DAB HAHA thanks for that! also all of this looks amazing omgomgomgomg LOVE it!!!! thanks for sharing and for introducing me to such a kickass song!

Goosebumps dude!! That drop down from the ship made my heart jump. You did such a great job! Wow

THE GORGEOUS ANIMATION + THE DAB FROM LUP?!?! = 10/10 VIDEO

hehe this was fun to watch both as it was made and now

I watched this months ago without context before starting taz, absolutely in love with it, and now a few weeks after finishing balance i rediscovered this I’m just AMAZED this is SO SO GOOD WOW. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg I’ve watched a lot of TAZ animatics (they are what got me into the show) but this is one of my favorites!!!

*griffin McElroy voice* THATS FRESH AS HELL

I physically can't count the number of times I've watched this! this is has to be the best thing I've ever watched! its all so fluid and the physics on the robes and hair and everything else are just so perfect! keep up the great work!

this is a really small detail but i'm so in love with the way you draw lup's teeth and the song choice here is stunning

Holy shit this is so very very good I love the expressions and the spark and fire animation is fantastic

MAJOR GOOSEBUMPS!!!! Lup's so beautiful as she falls and fucking WRECKS that hunger tendril. Your animation is wonderful.

gOd this is absolutely impressive, I have chills. Also I’m so glad you added Lup’s dab, I had to pause the first time to laugh.

This animatic is so goddamn satisfying to watch it’s animated so well I’ve watched it at least 10 times

I literally can’t stop watching this. Like I could watch this for literally hours. I would fucking love to see this develop further. Absolutely amazing animation and dynamics!

Dude, this animation is sick as fuck. I fucking love your Lich designs too, with the featureless faces and the only things visible are the eyes and mouth so all the detail there is super clear. And the way the magic just snakes around the bodies until it explodes out. This is amazing, you're amazing, internet High-Five.

This turned out so so amazing! Once I'm back home I'll watched it another couple of times!

tHIS IS SO PREFECT IM CRYING!!!!!!!! AMAZING! EVERYTHING IS SO SMOOTH AND WELL ANIMATED AND JUST SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!

Hey uh. This is literally the best fucking TAZ animation on KZread. Try to change my mind

I keep coming back to this video because the animation is just so smooth and fluid, and the energy of the song perfectly goes with the scene. Great job!!!

I love this so much!! It's so smooth and dynamic!

I finally just got to this part of the podcast and I am just blown away by how phenomenally you portrayed this scene!! So good!! Thank you for making this!!!

all of ur animations honestly make me fall in love with animation even more thanks for blessing us with ur amazingness :,)

This is so good!!! The stream was really fun too!💯💯💯💖👏👏👌💖💖✨✨👏👌💞💞💞🔥💯👏👌👏✨👏👌💖💯🎉🎉

Holy crap, this is so cool!! The animation is so fluid, and the movement looks fantastic!! I love this!!!!

This is so dramatic and beautiful and I love and you are single handedly keeping my craving for dramatic taz animations satiated. God I love your work.

the bit at 0:23 when Lup jumps off the starblaster... chills

Aaaaah chills. Every single time I watch this!!! Amazing job!

Ive watched this so many times because it looks so badass and I get chills every time... amazing job!!

Oh my god! My fav animator on KZread is doing a badass taz thing?!!?! HELL YEH! This made my day. Iv been in love ever since trouble. This makes me so happy

I just finished listening to TAZ: Balance and this was the first thing I went and watched. I've been looking forward to watching this since I started balance and it DID NOT disappoint!!!! Amazing stuff, I love your animations 💖

I’m so happy I can watch these now cuz I’ve caught up (almost done! I’ll be sad when I finish but happy I get to watch your bigger tax animation) - it was seven rewatches for this one cuz I can’t get enough of how perfectly this captures how I imagined it and w o w Jesus Christ you’re sorta my hero

This is AMAZING! Ugh the composition and movement is UNREAL

LUP JUMPING OFF THE EDGE OF THE SHIP IS SO FUCKINGN BEAUTIFUL IM GONNA IMPLODE THIS IS GORGEOUS

This literally gave me goosebumps. Excellent work! Keep up the amazing animations!

No matter how many times I watch this I still get chills. Every single time.

I know I'm late to the party, but nice touch having the bond engine be spinning bonds.

holy shit i’ve never seen anyone do that last bit justice like you just did

I saw the dab , that's all I need.

aa this turned out so amazing!! ;; im crying

All of your animations that I've seen are magnificent, but this is the one I find myself watching endlessly. Thank you for making this!

This is freaking amazing. lol I got so excited when she ran off the star blaster. I also love that you added in the dab as well. xD Something so minor, but when they said about it I giggled a bit. I LOVE YOUR ANIMATIONS SO MUCH!

I SAW THAT SNEAK DAB MAN DONT THINK FOR A SEC U CAN FOOL US MY DUDE-that was a beautiful second of my life

HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP I always had animation ideas of fandoms and my own ocs but thought i it'd take heck a lotta time and not be worth it BUT DAMN, YOU SIR HAVE CHANGE MY MIND, YOU INSPIRE ME *THANK YOU SO MUCH* i loved this
