- to be clear, these were not *in a row*, but they were in back to back sessions, aka Fabian's "no good very bad day."
also sorry if captions overlap the nat 1 counter on mobile, I tried my best. They are out of the way on desktop if that helps anyone.
From Dimension 20 Fantasy High S2 aka Sophomore Year, on Dropout TV. All rights belong to them and College Humor plz go watch this show
5 NAT 1'S IN A SINGLE EPISODE AND THEN 4 IN THE NEXT EPSIODE??? That's insane the dice really had a fuckin story to tell of Fabian's descent into depression
It made his rise from it just that much more glorious. It also made it very poetic as the thoughtless cockiness he had WAS always going to put him in a very dangerous position, and thankfully he survived it.
Fabian and his Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Nothing like having your teeth metaphorically kicked in to jumpstart a character arc!
lou's "i have the pneumonia condition???" will never fail to make me giggle
Same :)
"There's nothing on the sheet about Pneumonia, what mechanic are you making up right now?"
He was so happy to be in Leviathan the city where the Seacaster name was carved onto the world and then he truly blew it as hard as you can blow it without just strait-up dying.
worse. if he only died at Whitclaw's hands, that would be one thing, but to lead the entire cult to their deaths, abandon Alastair, jump off the nest wrapped in laundry and hung up by the feet, kill the hangman in your sleep and try to drown yourself, get pneumonia, and don't even get the killing blow on Jim.
more of the seacaster legacy would be intact if he /only/ died.
I say this with all the love in my heart for this character, this season, and Lou Wilson the human man: considering it’s a pirate city, there’s a near 100% chance that there are SO many ways to die as the son of a kingless pirate lord that would have been less embarrassing than this
Luckily, the only people who saw him eat shit are either dead or assholes. Doesn’t help in the moment though.
My boy
Genuinely, dying would have been less of a fuck up at a certain point
Ya had he died during that fight with the mind flayer he would have still been an idiot but at least a braver one. He legit got all those guys killed and then ran to save his own life. Chungle down bim was justified in his vendetta. But it made for a fkn amazing arc and growth for Fabian. I am dyyyyyinng to see what happens with him in Junior year. January cannot come soon enough.
I'm watching this compilation after the first two episodes of Junior year have premiered and our sweet sweet Fabian tried and failed twice to jump out of a van going 90 mph.
Silver lining: we got "Spring break, I believe in you" and "Toxic masculinity is dead, I dance now"
The spring break phrase was absolutely golden.
The toxic masculinity one was just an eyeroll.
@@gabrielbjornursidae Agree to disagree
@@andreacallegari7137 You're more than welcome to.
@@gabrielbjornursidaeImagine how fragile of a man one must be to be offended at another man for making fun of toxic masculinity.
@@dftp Who said anything about being offended? I just said it was an eyeroll. You must be pretty small to be getting so upset over someone rolling their eyes. Here's some advice that will greatly help you in this world. Grow up.
Clever of Brennan to make the fail state be “Fabian is too preoccupied with his recent disastrous string of bad luck to notice anything”
This is one of billions of reasons I like D20, I like stories with people in them. When people act like how people do.
On top of this being a human reaction for anybody, Fabian’s like 17 💀 a teenager who just got their lights trashed that bad being too preoccupied by oh shit oh god oh no is correct
I cannot believe he kept that die till Gunnie's day at the casino lmao
After all that he KEPT THEM?!?
@@_willow_dino_ YES
When he rolls at the casino either Siobhan or Ally say that these are the ones that screwed over Fabian and Lou confirms it. This is when Ally gifts him the new dice and even tho he pretends to toss them, he does use them afterwards and rolls better lmao
@@MeonLights I’ve seen a clip of this gifting of new dice lmao I’d say I can’t believe it but it is very in character for Lou 😂
@@_willow_dino_ i mean I do understand when someone doesn't buy into the idea that dice can be cursed but they can certainly have air bubbles or chips that make them roll certain numbers more often so I definitely would have tossed that die lol
@@MeonLights dice can be cursed 1000% air bubbles or not lmao. The D&D gods are merciless
Towards the end Brennan should have been like, "go ahead and roll a nat 1 for me real quick."
After two of them maybe. After a certain point it would just have been a cruel dig lmfao
contrary to popular belief, the ball was not rolling up the hill
Spring break I don't believe in you
we hate to see it
@@hauz287toxic masculinity is alive, I have pneumonia now
The force with which Siobhan throws Lou's dice into the cup is palpable. Probably my favorite moment in all of fantasy high live
*PLOP*
and it worked lmao
Siobhan is so fed up with Lou's dice that she cleanses them, that's a good friend.
But she used his own water, so not TOO good
@@noblesseoblige319 She had to use his water so they were connected to him.
ally squeezing peanut butter onto a bannana while lou fails the rolls that create the most devastating moment in fabian's character arc kills me 😭
That’s just classic them tho
“No! Let them! I feel better because this banana is being eaten right now!” Lou is such a friend
Zac saying “don’t look at me!“ 😂😂
Zach *underestimating* the number of nat 1s Lou had rolled, but still being so eerily close. That just sends me
Lou's dice we're DETERMINED to tell a story, and I am here for it.
truly one of the most insane moments of dice matching a character arc I've EVER seen
both matching and also making the character arc haha
lou "i don't believe in having multiple sets of dice or dice superstitions" wilson
“my future is changing🎵🎵…” Lou’s unwavering devotion and belief in these dice even in later seasons is beautiful
The ball is rolling up 😭
“Now… you’ve been GIVEN advantage…” 😂 “but after seeing that I’d like you to roll this Persuasion check with DISadvantage”
You ever RP a Persuasion check so bad that your DM straight up decides you deserve disadvantage 😭
For real my roommate snd i quote that “my future is changing” line in real life so often you would not believe
You ever roll so badly that your character goes through a multi-episode arc of ego death?
2:25 “i have the pneumonia condition?” is such an underrated line lmaooo
I have never seen a character be so humbled by such terrible dice rolls. Really makes his character development and rebirth that much more satisfying.
Pneumonia was really the standout moment of leviathan for me
this is the kind of luck i'd expect from murph lol
Not even from Murph 😢
when they said that dice tell a story they never specified that it would be happy one
the main take away here is that dice washing works to get rid of bad dice energy.
Siobhan's angry dice baptism always gets me. I love you ma'am
Fighting the urge to make the most insufferably long compilation of Fabian’s character arc in and after Leviathan. Incidentally, my computer storage is also fighting this urge
From the 7th and beyond, brennan is having such a hard time not smiling every time he gets a nat 1.
For some reason bearded Brennan looks more evil then shaved
It’s because he can menacingly stroke his beard
Even Wil Wheaton can't believe this unlucky streak
4:12 Siobhan's mood after so many nat 1s is hilarious
I didn't even noticed that she was leaning back at that point. 😆
Siobhan cleansing the goddam dice is everything to me
And people say MURPH has bad luck.
This episode was one of the most intense experiences I've ever had watching/reading/listening to a piece of media. It is truly an amazing narrative moment aided by absolutely disastrous luck. And, the way they bring it around to build Fabian's character is masterful. Dimension 20 is something special.
A statistical wonder tbh
Perhaps Lou’s dice were… RIGGED FROM THE BEGINNING!!!
@@adamgreenspan4988 woah dude
@@half.blight it's a reference, he's not being dramatic
@@matthewbaldock886 that’s also a reference
@@jonathanjernigan3865 that's right, forgot about the rest of the clip
This episode was like the time when Tigger lost his bounce. I thought about that a lot during this fight.
First episode of S3 and he rolls another 2 nat 1s with the same dice 😭💀. Ally threw it across the room lije it deserved
i cant bring myself to watch this and relive it - it's fucking incredible that it's possible to be this unlucky!! and it matched the story so perfectly!!!
I think there’s actually one more - in episode 5, when Fabian TRIES to kick Capt. Whitclaw when they first meet at the Gold Gardens
That one was circumvented but it set the tone
I don't think I realized just how many nat 1s he rolled. Holy jebus.
Fig/Emily's reactions to all the Nat 1s:
0:08 Oh ho ho ho ~
0:54 😱
1:23 Another Nat 1?!!
1:45 What?!!!
2:10 What?!!!! What?!!!!!!!
2:43 Fabian?!! 🥺
3:11 WHAT!! Brennan's gonna have to do backflips to keep this thing alive
4:05 * speechless * what?!!
4:22 WHATTT!??? You need to go out for a nice weekend retreat with your dice and like reconnect!
This video also implies that water boarding your dice stops the Nat 1 curse in its tracks
Sometimes the dice tell their own story
No you don’t understand, Fabian’s bad day was so canon, it warped our reality to make it so.
1:18
Ally: You've got good dex
Fabian: rolls Nat 1
Ally: 😑
If Laura Bailey was there she would have thrown that dice in the fires of Mordor.
The odds of three nat ones in a row are 1/8000
Rare enough that in our play group, if someone gets 3 Nat20s in a row, our Goddess of Luck grants someone a wish
Put that d20 away in a box labeled Halfling Dice. No other characters should be using.
Its especially hilarious because Lou doesn't believe in using different dice.
The bath helped tho, obviously, cus we got "I DANCE NOW!"
Wow so Siobhan actually broke the curse!!
i love when the dice just absolutely double down on a story arch lmao
....or in this case- according to google -noncuple down.
Fabian getting pneumonia always kills me
"Hey how many nat 1s I've rolled? Cuss I know you've been counting" with the slowly and aggressively flashing 9 over Lou's face is cracking me up😂
Famously known as “Fabian’s Bad Day”
Jesus christ in my head it was like 2 or 3
You know it's bad when even Murph feels sorry for you
This... Hurt Me......
the bad day into maximum legend pipeline is so real
pretty sure lou still has these dice.... (fantasy high junior year spoilers) i think he might've used it for the dex checks when fighting the night yorb, nat 1s abound
I can’t believe he still owns and uses these dice 😭
after learning that lou is not a dice goblin this check out
Siobhan washing Lou's dice in the cup is top teir
it’s so crazy how it feels like we roll more nat 1s than nat 20s even tho at pure random chance, they r just as rare as any other number
This video is an absolute mood after I rolled 4+ nat 1s in two different sessions of a new campaign I started with my crew. Our rolls were so low that I actually changed to a new character that was a peace domain cleric. It helps on the low rolls but a nat 1 is still a nat 1 even with +2d4 to ability checks LOL
This is will Wheaton energy
I remember how brutal it felt for Fabian. Great for story, but like damn. It almost felt like bullying at a certain point, but like I mean maybe after three just use different dice 😬 I feel like even Brennan was starting to hit a point of like “how do I not wreck Fabian, but still honor this”
So me and my friend have known each other for ten years and we finally got to play our first DnD campaign with each other a couple months ago. During our FIRST AND ONLY SESSION TOGETHER which lasted four and a half hours, we cumulatively rolled, I am not kidding, 27 nat ones. Between the two of us. In 270 minutes of campaign we rolled nearly THIRTY NAT ONES.
Her DM has literally banned us from playing together until we figure our shit out LMAO
Some people are destined to tell stories, others are destined to live in a perpetual blender of chaos and misfortune that they are then expected to make sense of.
I watched this season... How did I not pick up on this??
It did happen over the course of 2 or 3 episodes while a lot of other stuff was happening. It's easy to miss the true extent of horror in the moment.
Lou: "Get in the comments"
This guy: *Gets in the compilations.
You're a gem for zooming into Siobhan for the dice cleanse. I watch Dropout on my phone, so I'd never caught that moment lmao.
Fabian, you may need to get a set of dice because these ones seem to absolutely hate you
it's a completely different season and context, but i feel like in junior year his DOUBLE nat ones on the medicine check for lydia barkrock deserves to be in this compilation. however it does have a much more jovial tone....
LOU
Those dice were cursed LOL
Bro neeeds to throw out those dice 😂
Put them in a case
Somewhere out there must be a player with a only nat 20 dice who playes a game where 1 is good, Lou and him should find each other and switch dice 😂
It do be like that sometimes
Watching this made me understand Lou nerfing Fabian was the only correct move 😅
The horror......the horror
Look all I'm saying is relatively things were looking up after Siobhan baptized the dice
And yet he says you don't need more than one set of dice smh
I have seen all of season 2, for the 5th nat 1, yet I still I though tBrennen was goona say you contract pneumonia and die
This was SO painful to watch
Now, as we all know, Murph does not roll low. He rolls bad. And we know that in story moments, Ally rolls amazingly. But I’d like to submit this compilation, Fabian’s Famiy in flames mechanic results (the worst of the group)- where we know that even with advantage Brennan still rolled a 1-6 twice, Kingston taking 22 tries for divine intervention (and only succeeding from bend luck) and the Gunnie gambling fiasco as evidence that Lou’s story rolls are low.
It only seems fitting that Fabian fails so many times. You didn't even include the Nat one that killed Gilear.
And he still uses those dice for season 3 wtf
Just being a killjoy in the chat pointing out that you can’t get a nat 1 on skill checks or saving throws (except death saves). If you roll a 1, it counts as 1 + your attribute and any modifiers. So most of these would just be regular rolls with low results. No special effects.
People should know that the chances of this happening (nine consecutive rolls of 1 on a 20-sided dice) is about 1 in 512,000,000,000.
I get the point but they weren't consecutive irl, right?
You've cut out all the failures actually being narrated and the reaction to that; it can't even be told what situation just got whiffed. That's what I came here to see, why would I want you cutting the bit off right as Brennan emotionally registers a Nat 1, without a full description of what the check is for beforehand? These funny moments have no setup or payoff included.
