WELL now you all know what I have been leading up to for all this time…5 years….5 years of knowing this is where it would go…and how it’s truly the end of an era. Hope you all…enjoyed it? Look man there’s a lot of emotions here but I’m happy I could share them with you all. To be honest this entire episode feels like one big love letter to my friends. I really am lucky to have them in my life. Thanks for watching :’3

CRAP CRAP!! I was so nervous about making this episode I forgot to mention my merch along with Heroforge! So if you wanna help support us check out our stuff
You too :)
Ok so are more episodes coming please tell me tellllllllll ussssssssssssssssssssss
I really hope this isn't over :(
Day 3 of asking what are you going to do when fools gold is over
Stay safe also is this the end
It turns out soul magic was just the ability to make someone actually go to their therapist's office all along.
fr on god
Wait so therapists are just wizards who specialize in soul magic?
@@CLNCJD94they're necromancers that raise your spirits.
@@papierowyszczur9234 hold up, my spirit was never dead just unconscious 💀
@@CLNCJD94sound like your fine then
Gothi: "There has to be something I can do."
Old Woman: (Best Yzma impression) "Smash him with a hammer!"
Erina: "BET!"
Erina is a little menace who needs to be locked up! No, like, seriously. She really needs to take a look into herself and stop being so toxic, because any time they try to address how dumb she’s acting she just goes and says “what about ME??? What about MY FEELINGS!” Like, dude, you’re not the center of the universe!!!!
Cue the horrified Kronk face
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words."
@@Sireington I mean, consider her screentime in this entire serie. There is very few plotpoint where Sips isn't the fucking center of the universe which includes the freeing of her own country. The shit the character had to go through while Sips was in permanent therapy, some of which he caused by being dumb. I mean:
- Homecountry taken over by a shitstain covered in glitter due to Sips & Gothi
- Parents reported dead
- Unwillingly part of a genocide plan
- Had a rough breakup
- Forced to bother with Sips behavior which includes but isn"t limited to:
Menacing them with a MF Dragon
Spliting the party forcibly
Using magic for no fucking good reason while it freed a tarraske
Stealing shit
Selling cursed items
Sips get access to godlike powers, she has 1 shard of the stuff which in turn will be taken away locking her entire class
Creating an antagonist who overtake her country and the whole Kalandria arc
The whole casino accident is due to Sips & Sneeze behavior
On the way to fucking Kalandria, Sips is still moping and talking to Gothi about his curse while no fucking one gives her the time of the day except the NPC panda she has for a GF.
This serie is from the point of view of Sips' player with the DM on the wing. But yeah, I understand that if for 90% of the campaign most of the shit going on is about the other players, I'd like them to take some time for me instead of bellittling it as shown by those words.
The degree of toxicity she has is nothing compared to our main protagonist who in false honor fucks it up around each corner while being at times close to a murderhobo.
Don't get me wrong. I love Sips and the serie. Just keep in mind, this is a D&D campaign from a viewpoint where said shit is never adressed properly for Erina or at least none of it shown. Which might explain why it might seem toxic for us but while I enjoy the serie if the table was like that with one of my characters I wouldn't enjoy it.
@@MarkBonneaux Coll. Both of you.
I’m getting whiplash from how this series went from, “I got drunk and summoned a giant monster” to being able to make me teary eyed.
Me too
Literally how did this start from funny monkey man summoning d&d godzilla
Yea, really went from killing a drunkenly released lizard demon thing, to very deep curse quelling, god arguing, therepy needing, forclamer finding, pure dnd hell, and I LOVE IT
Just teary eyed??? I FULL ON BAWLED
I am crying with you T^T
of course sips last words before being reborn like a fucking phoenix are "ah fuck it"
Oh my god... And that's all started from a drunk monkey, that wanted to summon funny dancing lights, and released tarassque accidentally...
Holy murderous sheep, so many likes!
Спасибо!
But before that there was a weird thing with sheep that was never explained
@@Xenothecursedking most likely just some mudersheep, those are a bloody classic!
If only they killed the tarassque and not just trap it and if old gothi didn’t give a child poison and potato
Hey, it's worse. He didn't *summon* the tarassque, he freed it.
Well “realeased” 😂
Felix : *casually plays your heart like a fiddle*
Everyone watching : "HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!"
call him Paganini because he makes it look easy
A good DM will ALWAYS get away with using his player's heart like a fiddle. Means they are invested in the story.
Yes he can. Its his job
Playing with mine like a harmonica during a panic attack
Played us like the cheap dollar store kazoo we are
The items around the room were all things from Sip's memory... the "antique things from the store" were Gothi's party mask, Sips' cursed hairbrush... the cupcake holder and the chairs from when they took down "Potato Girl" Bou-claire... Jack's hat... Quinn-ora's mask and one of the Tarrasque-controlling gauntlets... A Rascam banner... So many callbacks so beautifully done but not made blatantly obvious. Stellar.
I noticed that too!
Don’t forget the apple slices on the table!
The place he’s in is the cabin the one where he met Vicky just got that I also saw the lantern he put in front of the curtains gothicas rock Dwain and the apple Vicky gives him for food
There was also the cursed dress he gave bou Clair and I think the food is apple slice but unsure there are also probably references to things whe haven’t seen like the lute slippers those fuzzy dice the bow the mittens and the paintings
The way sips 'smiles' when he whispers 'im not surprised' and "what a waste of a life" the sorrow contained within that expression. A smile that acts as a shield, to try to hide from the hurt thats been brewing inside for a lifetime, finally boiling over at what he thinks is the end.
I don't know how this story ends. I just hope, it ends with him happy.
Another way to interpret it is as a fear grimace. Many non human primates smile out of fear.
Edit: just a personal headcanon
Other DMs: we're gonna have a good story with some fun action and a few plot twists it'll be good.
Felix: MY CAMPAIGNS ARE THE CANVAS YOUR FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS ARE MY PAINT.
damn thats actually good
Yes, yes. Felix is my new favorite person 🥰
Meanwhile 90% of non D&D GM: Yeah that's the basics, let's go for another round of Vampire/Thirsting Sword Lesbian
based
I’m just sitting here like “FELIX WTH ARE YOU????”
“Everyone’s cursed” felt like a cross between “Your not special!” And “Your not alone.” At the same time
With a dash of “first time?”
Heh
People act like not being special is bad, what it means is no matter what, your not alone out there, there are people exactly like you going through the same things you are and thinking the same things you do.
@@Nyghtking yeah, but it’s probably not helping that when people say “you’re not special,” there’s usually some hostility to it
if everyones super then no one is
In the beginning: okay it’s time for pain and suffering
In the end: omg I’ve never been this happy in my entire life
Gothi: "I can't destroy my best friends corpse!"
Irina: "COWABUNGA IT IS!!!"
A monkey born magically from the inside of a rock... Ohmygod, Sips has become the reincarnation of Sun Wukong!!
Sound the drums of liberation!!!
I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT
this was the final evolutio, this was to DEFEAT THE ARMY OF HEAVAN- I MEAN THE FOR CLAIMER ARMY
Can't wait for him to shoot lasers in the sky lol
I mean, he's certainly enough of a chaos gremlin to be Sun Wukong. So who, in their party, is the remarkably useless dragon horse? My vote's on Jack!
Next episode.
Sips slowly opens his eyes. They dart back and forth looking at his surroundings. Then lets out in a loud voice.
"What the fuck happened to my body?!"
GOD THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Erina: *happy face immediately falls to a grimace* Aaannddd he’s back…
Gothi: *cuddles him both out of relief but also BABBY MONKEE*
I fucking hope so! 🤣🤣🤣
Hey you, you're finally awake.
that's EXACTLY what i would exprect from Felix at this point...
This is EXACTLY what Sips needed. The life he could have had if Quinn-Ora and that evil circus had never interfered, with the people who love him there to support him. I wonder if he’ll still be an extra-intelligent, awakened monkey?
I always thought Sips’ arc was about finding a way to live a life that can never go back to the way it was. It’s interesting that the conclusion of it is something impossible for real people.
This isn’t really a criticism, though. Overall, this had been an incredible story.
i don't usually cry at fictional works, so the fact that Sips' convo genuinely moved me to the very brink of tears really says something. This, right here, is how every major death of a beloved character should be handled in any fictional work, ever. The whole idea of being in a room with your most beloved memories, with the person you felt you were on the best terms with at the moment of your death giving you a "was it a good life?" kind of therapy session - it all felt so unapologetically real and comforting.
Dingo: *makes sips do the ultimate sacrifice to try and do good and has accepted his fate*
Felix: he's just a baby
"People do not risk their lives out of pity!" That line hit me like a truck
No shit
That line made me vow to prove Felix wrong
Every person saving a life then geting get by a truck.
just a reminder, this entire series started with dingo wanting to talk about summoning a terasqe with karoake ending going wild
It took me three days but I have fully re-watched all of Fulls Gold for the third time. This episode is still an emotional gut punch.
Update: I have also now watched the newest episode and have thoroughly enjoyed the baby Sips. It's a good watch, watch it now, even if you have already watched it or I will ring your doorbell a thousand times. (If you do not have one I will install one ring it 1000 times and then uninstall it)
@@rawkth5996 Sounds nice. But is the doorbell free? If so, keep it

@@Devilspaderelatable lmao
FUCK THERAPY THATS WHAT DND IS FOR
My heart got smashed by a sledgehammer
@@Devilspade it will get better when you work on it. cause finding good friends starts with beeing healthy enough to find some. most learned that from birth. some have to put in loots of hard work.
Dingo and friends: Can we get a happy ending?
Felix: You can certainly try...
One of the most underrated comments
368 likes and one comment, let me change that
I mean they got a baby monkey/sips
I think Dingo was actively trying to prevent a happy ending I think
Picking up "you can certainly try" to use on my players has been one of my best decisions as DM. 😂
Dude, the final nail in the coffin was 19:13.
And I thought I could get away without dropping tears.
The line of "everyone has curses, you just can't see them" really remindes me of invisible disabilities for some reason, and it made me genuinely cry. Dingo, I don't know how you do it, but you do it so well.
Dingo’s animation is always amazing, but the voice acting is CRIMINALLY underrated
I hate how right you are
Yea the va was 🤌 chefs kiss 10/10 emotionally devastating
Something more underrated is the background sounds and music hahaha
the voice acting, the music, the editing and animation. It has been a joy to watch we it all gets better and better!
Underrated?!
What??
hold on can we just talk about how quickly erina went through the stages of grief and just said f*ck it lets smash him open like a watermelon
Or a piñata, to reveal the sweet baby monkey inside 🥺❤️
Makes me think skips did something that wasn't told In The story.
He plays pranks on everyone even sneeze.
as sips says: She cares in her own way XD
Also, note that dingo said "shell" and not body
We all have our ways dealing with grief, who are we to judge Erina for how she deals with hers?
I'm glad EVERYONE at the table had the same reaction I did to tiny Sipps, haha. Absolutely adorable.
I saw the thumbnail of crumbling Gothi and I believe that's pretty much the audience right about now, as you reduced us to dust with the episode and then recreated us with relief at the ending, stay awesome Dingo and Felix, best DND couple of youtube.
Love how the old lady was MOST DEFINITELY not being a figment of Sips' imagination.
I was ready for heartbreak this episode, though. I was not ready for baby stone monkey.
That was just straight up a lie. That was Elowen imparting wisdom before he dies
BABY MONKY BABY MONKEY HE'S SO FUCKING PRECIOUS IM SOBBING! Incredible pay off for so much heart break!!
Oh wait. Baby stone monkey… was this just one huge Sun WuKong reference?
The nature of Monkey was... _irrepressible!_
*MONKEY!*
One thing, Elowen feels to me like old toph
Everyone was Literally on the brink of tears, then...
THE BABY MONKEY HITTING LIKE A TRAIN. REINCARNATION SIPS ARK!!!!!
He's gonna be so pissed he has to do it all over again
@@entropy11 NOT WHEN HE'S RAISED BY MAMA GOTHI AND BIG SIS ERINA!
@@rose-mariedessert3117 especially when he's raised by sis Erina
@@rose-mariedessert3117 That's why he's going to be pissed
reverse truck kun
I WAS NOT EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR THIS, I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL WHEN IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST EPISODE. Sips felt like a character in my own game, its hard not to grow attached to someone after however many years. Rock on little keroke monkey, rock on.
Never have I ever thought i would sob over a story with the first episode being about a monkey with a cursed hand, getting drunk and singing so bad that he summoned a tarrasque!? But here i am now, I AM BAWLING MY EYES OUT FEELING AN EMOTION I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD FEEL AND I'VE GROWN A STRONG ATACTHMENT TO ALL OF THE MAIN CAST!!! this... Is beautiful! Thank you Felix, Dingo doodles and the rest of the fools gold cast members for this amazing story!
I feel like Felix's mindset is the literal meme of Never Let Them Know Your Next Move
Frrrr the sledgehammer part was so unexpected it didn’t even register first 💀
The watchwords of DMs, "never let them know your next move", "gonna have to yoink that idea", and "can't be predictable if you allow enough room to make stuff up on the fly"
Isn’t that typically what All DMs mindset is
Wait!!!! Sips and Sneeze are Soul Linked!!!!! That’s why they sneeze passes out when Sips is near death, it’s why he is in his soul room. It’s why he can understand him without words!!!
It all makes sense!
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
IT ALL MAKES SNEEZE NOW
get it sneeze sense sound same kinda
Wait we have a baby sips is there a baby sneeze now?
@@Shapeshifter_bot Firstly, Sneeze is already baby. Second, I don't think so. We were told he was fine and just sleeping
@@theironarmada1308 then newborn sneeze
I full on cried, oh my God. That soul room scene was beautiful.
I don't know why I heard Hideo Kojima at 19:22, but it made me burst with laughter. We really need this kind sponsorship
So... Are we all going to ignore the fact that Sips and Sneeze are probably soul linked like the old lady and the frog? Possibly as a result of the hug that happened when Sneeze was saved from the soul gem?
Well I guess they were linked even earlier as all this crystal killing shit happened to both of them at the same time
@@nemo53 I was really convinced for a long time that Sneeze had a shard of his own and that's why they bonded. I hope this link finally gets addressed next episode.
@@Takisan111 then Sips would feel that with Zanu, no?
I could be wrong but I think sneeze is part of sips period. The old lady even said your subconscious is sleeping and you gotta go. I took that to mean sneeze who was asleep on the couch
@@jordanbroyles3549She said "the subconscious is fleeting", which means temporary
This episode is the perfect demonstration of why this party needs Erina and how important she is. Out of the 3 main cast, she is the one who appears the least, talks the least, is in the spotlight the least, and yet, she is there to act when nobody else can.
It's a Sips centric story. I feel like if it was Erina's player telling the story, things would be quite different.
@@chadnorris8257Well, Sips and Gothi centric, tbh. But yeah it is largely told from the perspective of Dingo the player so it makes sense lol
Yeah, like smashing your friends body in with a sleg hammer
The entire party is a party because they compliment each other so, wouldn't be a story without the entire cast and they made a masterpiece with a brilliant conductor
@@firedirewolf I do wish that Gorthan and Julian had remained for the whole campaign, to see how they'd handle things, and what they'd do. I can imagine her commenting on Sips gaining new mechanical minions, saying he's going to need to get paid more, or whatever, for repairs.
18:34 i freakin knew inside was a baby monkey i'm suprised how i even guessed it right
As an individual with depression, the whole sequence before sips accepts death meant a lot. I would do it all again too. 😭 in genuine tears rn
Edit: decided to add the Wukong bit cuz I though of more about it.
Ok, I can't be the only one noticing the heavy parallels between Sun Wukong's birth and Sip's rebirth. Wukong was born out of a stone, and Sips was reborn from a corpse that might as well be made of stone. Not to mention that the ending was foreshadowed by the lotus that bloomed from a rock. Wukong and Sips were already pretty similar as is. Both are impulsive and stupidity powerful monkeys whose companions are the only people preventing them from creating more chaos. Like, summoning a giant monster by singing is legit something Wukong would do. But I feel that scene at the end is all of those parallels coming full circle.
On a side note, can we also appreciate Dingo's acting in this episode? You could literally feel the pain in Sip's voice during her conversation with the elder.
Was looking for a comment mentioning the parallels
Honestly, my first thought was Momotarō.
Oh my god yes! The Monkey King is awesome! Monkey birthed of stone, now I just need to baby to pray in all four directions and shoot lasers out it’s eyes
FINALLY SOME ONE ELSE NOTICED
@@jacksonlai7590 which includes hitting some chief deity in the ass with said lasers
I love how messed up the ending is. Felix straight up made you think Sips was dead and then goes to another player character and is like, "NOW SMASH HIM WITH HAMMER!"
Found this on my recommended yesterday. Heard about the turmoil and immediately looked for the beginning.
Now I'm here and there's tears in my eyes.
Can't wait for the latest installment of trauma!
"When we don't love ourselves, it's the people around us who do until we can do it ourselves"
That sentence right there. If you ask me, that's the best sentence in the entire series. God, I love it so much.
Went from monke to mage, from mage to god, from god to monster, then from monster to lil dood. THIS IS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!
Yes
12:40 " Everyone has curses. You simply can’t see them."
Ok, saving that.
True.
I can't believe I just binge watched 5 years worth of D&D animations
This episode (especially the talk with sip's deep subconscious) legit made me CRY, I never cry usually sometimes I'll tear up, but NEVER cry THIS WAS SO GOOD
Dingo's voice acting in this series has gone from tired artist recounts that one silly time she and her friends accidentally released a Tarasque to Emmy deserving performances that rip every piece of your heart to shreds. You've grown so much Dingo, take a bow.
P.S. We're getting baby Sips plushies right? RIGHT?
I need baby Sips merch oml
For sure, she and the rest of the crew could be professional voice actors if they wanted to, i for one would watch whatever series they would be working in.
i dont think the baby monkey is Sips. Sips is dead.
@@chobbis4341 That's my expectation as well, but we don't have a name for the baby so for now baby sips works.
RIGHT? you cant fuck with me here i need it....**ill kill for it**
"Everyone is cursed. Everyone suffers, and we must forgive ourselves for it."
Found my new motto.
Can't believe 5 years have passed since the first episode! Its been a hell of a watch keeping up with this story. Cant wait to see what else you make!
The subtle animation of Sips’ eyes at 7:50 was 🤌🏼 perfection.
Felix, reforms Sips into a cute form....and is shocked that the whole table is squealing?
Dude, that's the power of cute.
I don't think shock but knew it was going happen. Only thing I'm worried about is being truly reborn and has no memory of everything or not
@@brandontsosie4514Yeah that’s what I’m worried about now, like is Dingo going to still be in control or is Felix making Baby Sips a temporary NPC. That is the thought that’s been bouncing in my Brain since yesterday
@Mango13th i believe sips going be pc toddler or child wild magic haha
This is like having a fully evolved Pokémon as your trusted partner along with your allies and then suddenly mew comes along to heal it at the cost of devolution and everyone just gushes when they see the starter come out of its egg
BABY SIPS!!!
I was fully prepared for Sip’s death experience to be the old lady pulling a prank on him to admit he loves his friends
I think he would have killed her if this had been some kind of illusion she cooked up when he was revived.
That was essentially where I was expecting it to go, but what actually happened may be even better
Dingo, I really needed this episode today. I've been going through a lot over the last few years and got some even worse news today, but hearing all this stuff about forgiving yourself for needing help and every curse coming with a gift really cheered me up. I'm not gonna pretend that this is the one thing that will change my life for the better but it's nice to hear these things all the same. Thank you
15:09 channeling some real "when Kung Fu Panda gets serious and pulls in for the emotional gut punch" vibes there
Specifically the Inner Peace scene in KFP2
Oh this is GOOD. They revived him via turning the 'uncursed' body into a new one, while channeling the curse into his outer shell. They basically molted him like an insect.
Something is definitly up with Sneeze. The way he collapsed when Sips died back in Pink-glittery-town after killing Potato girl, then whent up again when Sips woke up. The way he fell incouscious again outisde the portal after the fight between cursed-Sips and Gothi. The way he's in Sips mind space, sleeping, while Sips is dead.
And now we learn the chief is soul-linked with her toad.
Are Sips and Sneeze soul-linked?
I'm pretty sure they are. But we'll see 🤷🏻♀️😊
AAAAYYYYYYEEEE THATS A REALLY GOOD POINT
I thought it just meant that he had a zanew crystal but you make a strong alternative.
I can’t wait to see his reaction to baby sips
When i tell y'all i cried, hands down one of the best stories i've ever seen, and the voice acting dingo pulls off is immaculate!
I have literally never cried at anything more in my entire life. Amazing work.
God, what an amazing end to Sips’ main arc. The final culmination of him learning self love on his deathbed is so cathartic. I am so glad he has been given a second chance at life, quite literally. Wether this is a pure reincarnation of the old Sips or a whole new Sips (baby Groot style) is uncertain, but I know it will be amazing regardless.
I'm assuming it's reincarnation, minus the memories. It would be weird if it wasn't considering how pointed the "Would you want to do it again" portion of the deathbed conversation was in retrospect.
I gotta give props to Felix. This is one of the best and emotional internal monologs I have witnessed in a long time.
i read props as potatoes please send help
Props to dingo for animating it and giving it it's emotion here for us to witness
This is beautiful. I am irl crying. Dude the part about but about him thinking he’s a failure and every single thing he’s ever done were failures. That hurt me in my chest. Deep in my feels. And her words about how no one is above help or doesn’t deserve it. Bro how does a cursed monkey and a partially senile thousand year old lady make me cry my eyes out?! Everything about this video is great it simply is. Also added thing! Awwww de widdle Bebe monky awwww he so smolll!
8:35 “Lost a hand, got a worse one”
Something my dnd character can relate to as well, he lost his hand from a sacrifice, then when he went to regenerate his hand back, it grew into a fully skeletal hand with tendons and stuff. The hand works but its a sign of him making the evil sacrifice and he regrets making it (all of this happened in game session as well!)
Gothi “My friend is turning into a clay pot :c”
Elwin: “that’s rough buddy”
ERINA *Link moment engaged*
Xanu: sorry, nothing i can do. he's just dead.
Random ass frog grandma who didn't even want to help: *works through sip's trauma in a matter of minutes, lifts the curse, and brings him back to life.*
The power of grandmothers
To be fair Xanu is an artificial god and not omniscient, but most importantly, he was still influenced by the foreclaimers , even if he was seen as a test subject, he probably still absorbed part of the culture around, he may be resentful of what they did to him, buy they were still his main point of reference, so it makes sense there is a huge gap on his emotional intelligence skill tree, and how it would interact with his soul magic.
Meanwhile, Stella's children are precisely a group who seeks to develop the empathy the foreclainers as a society had abandoned long ago.
My god the voice acting in this episode is so emotional I am genuinely shocked how amazing it was
...Well, that was an emotional rollercoster and I loved EVERY SECOND OF IT. This series has made me cry so many times lol. And baby Sips is too adorable for this earth. I WANT A PLUSHIE HE'S TOO CUTE SERIOUSLY
"I've been waiting all campaign for this!"
Truly, this is D&D. Between the sorrow, the laughter, the twists and turns, and the unexpected moments, you really can't get closer to how real life can be, and yet further away from it either. And I feel like that's how a game of D&D should be.
Well said❤
Couldn't have said it better myself
When you least expect it, that's when it hits hardest
Ooohh now I'm scared FUCK
Just like that sledgehammer
OAHH PFFF SMACK EMMM
@@kyra6775YOU TOOK MY JOKE!
HOLY SHIT A BABY MONKEH FUU THIS IS TO MUCH FOR ME
Wow all those lines during sips after life talk really hit straight to the heart p.s freaking baby sips is so ADORABLE ❤
Damn I've only been watching for about a year and a half but got damnit this episode hit me like a freight train with the nostalgia and the sadness istg-
Like this made me cry a little, that's a big achievement
“Everyone has curses, you just can’t see them” that line hit hard
Like that you also included Gorthan and Julian even though they aren’t in the group anymore. Also just the implication of “hey yeah your friends dead, use this convenient sledgehammer and crack open a baby out of it”
It does make a ton of sense, since I believe Gorthan and Julian were pretty much in this campaign for around half of it. We, the audience, only really got to see a bit of their characters (since we started in the middle), so I can only imagine the feels they felt when Sips was reminiscing.
Goddamn it... I had such a hard time, for years by now, to cry - even with therapy, even when I really wanted to (except, when one of my cats died) and now this... you guys really brought me to tears... congratulations... and thanks! :')
Stumbled about your guys campagne and got so sucked in by it... better than lot's of series I watched (especially when you play Pen&Paper yourself and can imagine what happens at the table)
Omg I'm so done now...
Much ❤ to all of you!
I teared up when it got to the conversation with Sips in his subconscious.
Is Sips Sun Wukong now? He’s (re)born from stone, gives the middle finger to godlike entities, has the impulse control of three year old, and is incredibly powerful.
He pretty much already was Sun Wukong, he's just completely the transformation into finally becoming one.
*SPOILER* (if you're one of few people who are watching it late)
The reveal, and leading up to, of Baby Sips is both funny and amazing. It felt out of pocket the old lady would pull out a *quack*ing sledgehammer, encourage Gothie to crack him open like a pinatas, and just for our magical girl to do it, basically waiting the whole campaign to do it, and for it all to reveal Sips was reincarnated. Old lady tries to monologue, only for the two to scream out of levidy and joy of a baby boy coming into the world.
Hey, this is a pretty heavy spoiler! You might want to edit so there's a (Spoiler) header and 4 empty lines, so people don't get spoiled for this!
Did it really feel _that_ out of pocket that the old Sage would pull out the hammer out of nowhere? I feel like that's just the most basic pocket thing she's done in the list of possibly out of pocket things she's done.
And imagine if at the table GM just said she casts controlled version of reincarnate spell :D
Man, that monkey is gonna have weird parents.
The whole "would you do it again" line only works if you tell them about all of their pain and suffering first and joy and friends after. Because psychologically the brain tends to care more about how you feel at the end of a conversation rather than what is actually said. So if you make them remember their good times by bringing up memories and all at the end they are more likely to pick that option. It's a more common manipulation technique than you think and no I'm not going to share why I know that.
Also AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH MY HEART!!!!!
I LITERALLY JUST WATCHED FOR THE LAUGH'S AND NOW I'M WATCHING BECAUSE YOUR VOICE ACTING AND HEARTBREAKING VIDEOS MAKE ME FEEL EMOTIONS!!!!!
. . . All the emotional, heart wrenching, and crazy *duck noises* aside. Since Erina broke the vessel open does that technically make her Sip's new mom? 😂
fuck that, he's either gothi's or sneeze's. no-one else can have that responsibility
Erina is his bio mom equivalent but Gothi does most of the momming
Not sure how to feel about her becoming his mom out of the desire to smash his body with a sledgehammer-
No, she is the doctor that did the c-section.
@@demonicbunny3poseems legit, I mean gothi couldn't do it on her own, and Erina got baby sips out for her
SPOILERS
HOLY SHIT The emotional whiplash of this episode is insane.
From the raw emotion and tragedy of sips literally dying and experiencing his final thoughts, to the comedy of a crazy lady telling Gothi to smash his body with an honest to god sledgehammer, then the victory of seeing BABY SIPS OH MY GOD I WANT TO HOLD HIM SO BAD
ehh i didnt much like the end-ending. just a bunch of bathos tbh and it felt like it kinda came out of nowhere
I'm calling him sippy cup
The least expected ending! Those poor youtubers that are going to react to this episode.
We need more of the sad montage of everybody else in the group, getting older and ageing from a baby to where he was teaching him how to be the way that he was😢❤
I feel like this could be a full length feature film.
When Sips asked if Sneeze was okay, I started crying and I did not stop until the end of the episode. You should become a voice actor cause God damn you can convey some emotions ❤
100% agree!
Me: I’m sure this episode can’t be as sad as the last one!
**10 minutes later**
Me: **Sobbing**
I don't cry over videos or movies and stuff, but this got me pretty close.
I think I found this series around episode 3-4, and through that time I’ve gotten to see it and the characters grow. And I love it. I also love stories that set its tone in the beginning and progressively gets darker and darker as it moves forward.
*Lie down*
*Try not to cry*
*Cry a lot*
My question. When will baby Sips start committing arson? I want to hear about his first flame.
I have rewatched this episode many times because the scene between Sips and Elowen is my favorite scene in media. Period.
"Now you can give me back my son."
No, he's our collective son, now.
I went from sobbing to howling with laughter in a split second. Holy hell what a roller coaster. And the old lady's speech was exactly what i needed to hear right now.
Edit: I would like you all to know that I was so absorbed in this episode that I didn't notice the guys being arrested 20 feet behind me
the power of good writing
You can’t leave a EDIT like that and not provide details. We’re you in a public place, or at work? Do you know what they were arrested for? Etc.
dude wtf how????? for what????? why????? WHO?????
Sounds like the time I didn't notice a riot cos I was reading The Master and Margarita. (It was the bit around 'Manuscripts don't burn' and 'He has earned rest not light')
yo, my guy, you need to give us more information than that, dont leave us on a cliffhanger, we have way too many of them
Sips backstop and issue and truma that he gone through is so relatable. And not being able to forgive himself. This made me cry. I'm glad with my ADHD I remember this for a second and started watching them all over again.
I was literally about to make a joke saying "and then Dingo goes "oh well" and reveals her newest character Hipps; the Chimpanzee with a velociraptors hand." Right up until that reveal.
Dude, this was fucking powerful. I'm not ashamed to admit I shed a single manly tear at that gift/curse monologue. Every successive tear after that was proportionately less manly.
Sorry but F(QUACK) that. every tear was manly. No real man could get away with out shedding tears from this roller coster.
Being secure expressing your vulnerability is one of the manliest things you can do

Of COURSE, Erina jumped at the oportunity to smash sips the moment it came up lol. That swing had her whole back thrown into it🤣🤣🤣
a swing shes been holding in since she met Sibs
I just love how she like " PAYBACK A B***H MOTHERD**KER! " and smash him. 😂😂😂😂
I adore this series.
I binge it over and over.
My friends are like this, but no way as much drama in our sessions.
" . . . Take this sledgehammer . . . "
The sad music abruptly cutting out was good. More subtle than what I would have done: [RECORD SCRATCH]
"Your friends loved you"
I CRIED. WHIS WHOLE EPISODE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTBREAKING :(
Props to whomever took enough campaign notes to make this series a reality.
ngl it was prob felix the person who also plucks our heartstrings like the EVIL DM HE IS!
Dingo Doodles has said most of this is just from her memory. Even her friends don't remember all the details she remembers!
I love how this series started with a goofy story of bad karaoke turasqk to an emotional roller coaster of laughter and tears
11:00
I binge watched this whole series till now and i dond thik this series will make me go trough the 5 stages of griev through this past 5 episodes.
Thank you, thank you for making this
