Yeah, sure. I mean, I haven’t seen campaign 1. Ashley is Yasha, to me. This soft, thoughtful woman who, at the drop of a hat, hardens into this ice cold rage. Like I said: Ashley’s face sells Yasha’s comedy. She’s a funny woman.

@@folkmar00 there are a number of factors with Jester her sheltered upbringing, mother being a courtesan, & having a fey best friend growing up has given Jester a different view on physical love & flirting compared to romantic feelings. early in the campaign she was open about her mother having sex for money she was flirty but when it was about her real feelings those she was protective of.

Can we get a petition for Matt and Titmouse to make a bunch of short animations of Henry talking about random stuff? Like things that happened through his day, words of wisdom, facts on different grass and trees.
I think it'd be hilarious to see a Beau vid of her possibly standing outside the room door as she overhears Jester & Yasha spitballing ideas & the second hand embarrassment.
The way Henry is played like "Oh I've never seen myself as actually sentient and I'm actually incredibly smart!" is really good and I'm stealing it for my own campaign
I love how Ashley portrays Yasha in this scene so much. I just imagine the strong, quiet, and reserved yasha on the verge of emotional panic when she’s normally so stoic. It’s great.
Season 1 Episode 60 Percy- "Lovely field, I apologize for the rudeness of my compatriots. We will be gentle trouncing through you. We’ll make as little mark as we can and enjoy the splendor of your ever-changing colors. You are majestic, you are windswept-I’m flirting with grass-you are everything I could hope for in a beautiful view."
So: Henry only lived a week but told future generations of crabgrass about the time he spoke. And she became a legend and almost a God to the crabgrass.
Henry was great as a Crabgrass. He talked with Jester the blue lass. He taught us consent. Even though he was bent. He showed he wasn't Henry the Grabass.
There once was a crabgrass named Henry Whose surnamed I just learned is Penry He just learned how to speak And though he may have just peaked At least he'll never be short of a rhyme Turns on, not many things rhyme with Henry.....
I think she was, I can imagine her mini flailing her arms as they are having their conversation. I love at the end they acknowledge she was awake and Jester doesn't even try to deny it.
I love that this highlight video doesn't even contain the ending reveal, that's how good this episode was, they can bring back a character from 50+ episodes ago and it's not even the best bit of the episode
The thing I love the most about this besides Henry himself is how Jester's "Oh crabgrass" when she starts talking to it sounds SO Disney Princess-y and fits her SO well
I hope that the Critical Role animated series does well enough to carry us all the way through C1 onto "The Legend of the Mighty Nein" just so I can see an emotionally packed, high-stakes story get interrupted for like 5 mins by a crabgrass hive-mind called Henry
This is why im a multi-shipper/polyshipper because imagine the inner turmoil of trying to ship just part of this group with beau admitting to a crush on jester but having also had such a long time crush on Yasha
I feel like when Beau was admitting that she had a crush on Jester to Nott, I get the feeling that she was moreso in love with the idea of Jester, much like how Jester started off with loving the idea of Fjord. It's why I like Beau with Yasha more, but that could definitely change in the future.
I've often wondered, if Yasha had never been uhh receptive to Beau's flirting either because she wasn't her type or completely over Zuala & Jester HAD been receptive, would Beau have tried to see what kind of relationship she could've had with Jester or stayed single?
You know Matt has set a very dangerous precident with this. Think about how they interact with any humanoid npc he creates...now he has to account for every damn bush they walk by
I know this pandemic sucks ass, but we got to have Ashley for longer and she's really bringing it lately with yasha! I just want beau to grab her by the hand, lower the mirror above her bed and go to town with yasha! I'm not a 'ship' guy, but I'm so invested in their relationship!
Jester: "You can't feel guilty for how you feel. If she makes you feel happy, that's a wonderful thing. That's so rare." Is like what Sprinkle and I have together. You are her Sprinkle, Yasha. _You_ are her Sprinkle. =)
I was so depressed a moment ago. Now I feel as right as rainfall. Thanks again Matt and Critical Role! Some stuff is pure bottled joy. And non-alcoholic too! (Edit: but totally still intoxicating.)
I love Ashley and Laura so much this is probably my favorite moment of the entire campaign and Marisha’s reactions are amazing God bless Jester, Yasha and Beau
OMG. I just had a horrible thought that i hated. Imagine if one of them dies next episode, and they can't confess their love for one another. I Hate myself.
All these moments were just so great,but can we take a moment to appreciate the thumbnail? That design is on point 👌 and the editing Jester in between Yasha and Beau? Fantastic editing Nico, keep up the good work!!
It’s really interesting how Henry’s personality shifts over the conversation. First at “Juhh there was some movement” Henry is very childlike Second at “You mean like like like a like a cycle” and then further at “...conversation like this before” where it’s more adolescent/college nerdy voice Third at “...diggin’ and and chantin’”where it’s slightly farmer “yeehaw” neediness. Fourth, which encompasses some of each, at “there are limitations...” Gosh, it’s so cool. Matt spinning through these voices/personalities until he’s able to confidently land on one.
We stan Henry, the Non Grabass Crabgrass
till the day we die
"CONSENT!"
"Oh... Can I-"
"Yes."
The invasive weed of consent.
@sugarplum isawesome Sounds like it.
Oh hello
Bless Mercer's ability to create such distinct personalities on the fly.
Pretty sure he's got a bank of personalities he applies to situations as they come up.
I feel like we can agree to just bless Matt Mercer😂😂😂
Truly a pleasure to watch
I'm sure as soon as jester got the ability to speak with plants he prepped a bunch of personalities
@@jacquelinen5059 We can only hope his other vegetation voices are just as cute, am i right?
Henry Grabass teaching everyone about consent.

Tharizdun reaches out with a tentacle of pure entropy, threatening to crush Jester like a rotten fruit. At the last second, a sudden, whipping blade of grass appears and swats it away. The Mighty Nein turn in shock to see an Awakened Henry standing next to them.

I really want Mercer to drop them a pot of awakening somewhere!
As great as Ashley's acting is it's even better to imagine Yasha doing the same movements. Big scary goth queen Yasha grabbing a strand of her hair and putting in front of her face is great.
The “I smell like a crayon” is a million times funnier in the original episode than any animation I’ve seen. Ashley’s face just sells it.
There is a difference between Yasha and Pike. Ashley saying Pike lines is herself cute and you can see it more easily. Yasha is this large goth queen.
Yeah, sure. I mean, I haven’t seen campaign 1. Ashley is Yasha, to me. This soft, thoughtful woman who, at the drop of a hat, hardens into this ice cold rage. Like I said: Ashley’s face sells Yasha’s comedy. She’s a funny woman.

True Polymorph for Henry! Only with his consent of course.
Edit: (As mentioned below, Awaken would probably be a better choice.)
We have a long road to True Polymorph, but I am INCREDIBLY IN FAVOR
@@tamaralso doesn't Caleb know true polymorph? Wasn't that how he turned Nott back into Veth?
@@braydenkinder75 No, he (with Essek's aid) made a custom spell to irrevocably turn Nott back into Veth. True Polymorph is dispellable.

Maybe turn him into a treant...he has the same voice though.
never thought id have to add “grass teaches people about the importance of consent” to my list of reasons why i love critical role
im not complaining
I love how Yasha says the exact same "hello" in this twice.
8:34 Yasha says she wants to kiss Beau so bad, and Matt makes a quick note. Aw shit.
jester physically covering her mouth to contain herself is too funny

@@starship-nine4892 Outstanding.

@@davidparkes7741 same! I also loved the "consent please" and the whole telling time thing and the "It's hard to tell you know when your grass."
You have to give Laura her due. She draws roleplay out of Ashley so well.

I think she was, I can imagine her mini flailing her arms as they are having their conversation.

Someone needs to go back and dig up Henry (with his permission of course), and take him to meet Pumat Sol ;)
Jester is the matchmaker from Fiddler on the Roof.
The poem, Matt's face. Lord
I'm going to say it now: Molly was resurrected as a thank you by the inept bandits they met some time ago and were set right by the group.
Now we just need Fjord to admit that he loves Vandrin and we are set with the Mighty Nein
He might but I'm thinking that's more of a Father Son dynamic. Vandrin was the father figure Fjord never had being an orphan
11:04 "yea she so smol..."
