Taurtis - Blog Posts
• Iris, the newly fallen Ruler and often seen dictator of the Following. Power hunger and righteousness became her untimely downfall, along with anyone on her side and her very own child.
• Ivy, prisoner of the Following. Saving her from imprisonment became an ultimate goal. Her own sister locked her away in claims of containing a so called corruption that fueled Ivy's veins.
• The "Lotus Eaters": groups of lost and convinced cultists found themselves in bliss and over-indulgence as they found the island of mindless fruits.
• Additional monsters of the Codfather's island: while the other entities of the island were prone to belittle and tease the disfigured cod, they were still intent to protect him. They don't tend to be too fond of false alarms, however.
• The man-eaters: this story's Laestrygonians, Queen Lizzie created an entirely new species of seemingly mutated fish creatures, most in resemblance to Axolotls. They are hungry for any unfortunate soul who falls into their waters.
The Underworld
• Will & Eddie: two souls who miss their friends and loved ones dearly. Each were happy to see those they cherish on their journey through the Underworld. Though brief, they did what they could to give the remaining crew some sense of comfort and love they once were so overabunted in giving.
• Michela & Redd: two souls filled with bitterness and resentment. While they could find themselves forgiving their friends for foolish choices & careless disregards, wounds are too fresh for them to have a clear mind. Floods of their friends have come in, screaming their tragedies and fueling more hatred among plenty of them towards the unfortunate survivors.
Monsters
• A reflection shown to a captain long in need of a wake up call
• Scylla: a monsterous amalgamation of history's corruptions. She takes on her most recent host's appearence. From that of convincing fae, to fungal viruses that took over their hosts minds, Scylla hungers and she will feed.
Alt. Gods
• Aeor: a more casual, human esque appearence. He takes on this look for those He typically doesn't expect to live long enough to remember. He takes on this look to make sure any mortal will hear what He has to say.
• Exor: a more casual, friendly appearence. Years have passed and they wish to appear approachable as they can manage as they approach the son of someone they would once and wish to call their friend.
• Sausage, the island of paradise. He just wants to go home. He just wants to feel home.

Pt.1 || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 || Pt. 4 || Pt. 5 [Here]
Okay I cannot physically think of anymore characters or important appearances I need to add. I am crossing my fingers that this will finally be the end of the sketches.
The looks are rushed cos I did all these sketches today in hopes of getting a post out before the end of the month so here we are.
This project is bringing me so much joy I won't lie.
The wisdom Saga is also making me Feel Things /pos
Day 154 Cowabummer!
My friend really likes this series so here’s some doodles from the first episode!
🩸 ! {#GRIAN}. — he was so SASSY?? I LOVED IT LOLL !! GO WATCH IT PLSSS >__<
Creds !! - ‘Delicious Human Meat! - Cannibal Murder’ ;; joeyish / Taurtis
I can just imagine xisuma ask grian for an explanation and ends up just getting:
"oh yeah... These are my friends from high school who are watchers. Also, surprise - I am a watcher too :D" while taurtis and domrao turn to more human forms and just hug/squeeze grian.
This just ends us as the others finding out grian is like a secret pvp god or something, and xisuma trying to learn more about grian and why they are watchers/what they do.
the au where xisuma (and perhaps a few other hermits) worship xelqua and the watchers as their gods and at some point are all talking about it. grian chiming in with some unknown knowledge and when hurriedly asked where he learned it he just panics and yells; “BOOK.” they all very much doubt that.
some time later, the watchers visit and when the hermits who do worship them bow grian just groans. “don’t bow to them, they’re dorks.”
and (in this seperate watcher au that doesn’t connect to my other post) the two watchers just pout.
“griiannn!! come on, this is our first time being out on the overworld as watchers! you’re lucky your training involved you being here, me and dom had to sit through the stuff to take over watching the other dimensions.” “your fault for dying.”
“hey! at least i got that immortality curse gone first!”
the hermits just watch grian bicker with the watcher (whos name, taurtis, was thrown in at some point of grians scolding), while the other watcher- who was name dropped as dom early on- just watches them with an amused smile on his face.
i have like zero followers so im only gonna post it when ik people can see it BUT i am writing a character analysis on some of the yhs and ts characters and what would have to be done to give them a proper redemption arc!! ik im for sure doing sam, grian and taurtis duh but if theres anyone specific anyone wants me to include tell me
3 new deleted Grian videos, featuring Samgladiator and Taurtis, have been found. These are the thumbnail of the newly discovered video.
These videos and more can be seen here:
Thank you to everyone who has sent in any lost videos, we really appreciate it. Credit to the original discoverers is in the document.
regresses back to 2016 cutely
Mist dots the afternoon air, cold and crisp as the wind sings. Each step only lead to more creaking of the stairs. A light ring of an unanswered phone calls out drawing people near. Silence had already been unwelcoming so is the dripping. For once the two prayed he had been making a sound. Yet he was no where to be found. Soft thuds wouldn't have been alarming if it weren't for the pained crys that came with. The Birt with a burst of energy rushed to the room housing the noise. Light and quiet sobs pushed and pulled at the noisy air. Another cry, caused the door to burst open. There the raven was standing holding a broken vase, shaking and choking on his own sobs. The blond immediately pulled the other close, noticing the cutts coating the arms and heavy brusing on the neck. Not only that but a broken window said it all the glass layed on the floor. The Brit glanced his companion down taking note of bite marks and scratching on the other thighs. "Taurtis," Grian began while rubbing the others back allowing his friend to lean into him "you're safe ok, I am here anyways it was self defense" Grian cooed.
"But," Taurtis began trying hold himself together only to cry into Grians shoulder "I- I-" he got cut off when the Brit shused him.
"Don't," Grian scolded as Sam bolted up stairs with silly "now can I ask who?" Grian finished with a soft tone.
"GRIAN," Sam shouted while having the blond hand Taurtis over to silly who had a first aid kit " I saw a person with glass in their arm running!" As soon as he finished the two males gave each other a nod.
Taurtis began to flick through channels relaxing in Grians lap, who just let it happen. Though Sam let out a gasp and snatched the remote. As the news reported a person dead with no evidence to be found, the person looked way to familiar for comfort for Taurtis. The rabbit and Brit looked at each other as a uneasy silence fell upon them. "Did you two-"
Not the best will redraw later but enjoy :D
Reason To Love Taurtis (thank you @mysticalfriendlyintrovert for the amazing idea)
He is absolutely hilarious!! I mean watch any of his videos or the videos he is in. He never fails to cheer me up or plenty of other people with his goofy personality.
He puts so much love, passion, and time into his videos. Whenever he uploads a video (for example the To The End series), you could feel the passion and love he had to put it out. You can tell that he really has a huge passion for making videos, and these are the types of people we need as content creators, people who are genuinely making videos not for fame but because they actually have a passion for it.
His editing is out of this world! THIS!! One of the biggest reasons he deserves more recognition, he is a literal god at editing and its such an experience to watch whenever he puts any highly edited video out. Like the skill this guy has blows my mind. He makes all of these videos by himself, he doesn't hire an editor he does it all by himself because he has a passion for editing and making videos for people to enjoy and hopefully make them happier. Like seriously if you haven't watched anything from him besides the stuff he did with Grian (and the person who I won't name because ew) I really recomend checking him out and giving his content a chance.
He cares about his fans!! The amount of times he just takes to interact with his fans is just amazing, he make each and every single one of his fans feel like they are welcomed. He interacts with his livestream chat a lot and that makes the livestream experience with him so much fun and more enjoyable.
Just this whole stream! This whole stream is a reason to love him.
6. All the times he played with his fans on Hypixel! I cannot express this enough with how much I love how much he interacts and does stuff with his fans. He makes us all feel like his friend.
7. In his private Members only Discord server we were all in voice chat playing on the Members only Minecraft server when Taurtis joined the voice chat and joined the server and hanged out with us for a while. It was so much fun and really proved to me how amazing Taurtis really is.
8. He says the most iconic things, "Friendship is stronger than bacon". I mean there is just so much iconic lines from this man that I may have to make a whole seperate post for that.
9. HE CREATED TORITOS!!! I mean if this isn't iconic I don't know what is
10. His personality is just so sweet and can literally cheer you up in a instant!! Like no matter how many times I rewatch his vidoes they never fail to cheer me up, it is like some sort of magic. (Taurtis has powers confirmed)
11. He has helped edit or even edited a couple of Grians vlogs and they were so amazing.
12. He loves ice cream!! And we love a person who loves ice cream!!!
13. In his Evo episodes, or just any of his highly edited videos. He has this whole part of this video with music and shows everyones fanart and credits each and every one of them. This guy literally out here giving artists the attention they deserve.
14. He tries his best to avoid drama and does a very good job at avoiding it. Even though he has so much comments asking where so and so is he still remains calm and ignores them and when he does awknowledge them he handles it in a very mature way.
15. You can tell he is an amazing friend to Grian and every friend he has ever had. He cares about them and the amount of times he has appreciated Grian in a stream makes my heart melt.
16. In one of his No Mans Sky streams he literally name planets and even solar systems after people who have donated or became a member to him.
17. In his Coming back home video he was talking about how he didn't know if people would even want him back if he wasn't doing evo. Rewatching that breaks my heart because that is not true at all at least to me. I love him for him and I would watch anything he makes. I am not only here for a video series I am here because of how amazing you are Taurtis.
So this is what I wrote down and have been able to think of so far if I think of more or if any of you people think of anymore please do not be afraid to reblog and mention them. I am happy to be using this blog as mainly a place to appreciate or fangirl over Taurtis, he has helped me a lot and I just cannot ever thank him enough so why not try and give him some love and appreciation.

i love the thought of Grian dropkicking a bunny and getting yelled at for why he did that
@mysticalfriendlyintrovert also may I mention the fact they always found something to berate Taurtis about during the build battle things.
Can we talk about the shit Taurtis endured during evo and build swap.
I want to start a petition to rename Evo to “Taurtis angst+” (/j)
but yeah, his childhood friend ended up being an anarchist who found joy in blowing him up, he was constantly dragged to pick sides, he was haunted by a spirit that looked exactly like him but purple, possibly taken by the watchers,he was even forced to become mayor even though he didn’t run
Grian when Taurtis is in hibernation
Imagine Taurtis in evo Snuggling under Grian a winged cat for warmth. And Grian growls and hisses at the others to try and protect his sleeping Tortoise friend. Then lunges at a threat Grian just protecting and keeping Taurtis warm makes me fluffy.
I took a while to make this cuz it was too cute
