Siobhan: (*has a quite, polite conversation. Thanks Brennan as she leaves)
Lou: (*enters) "The fuck you want, nerd?"
Friend vs. best friend
zac/ricky’s ‘just my dream though?’ is such a perfect character response, it sums ricky up so well
All of their responses. Very cool.
I went back to replay that part so many time bc of this reason. It fits so well
17:35
SOPHIAS RESPONSE WAS MY FAVORITE LMFAO
I almost teared up when I heard it
Brennan: “Kugrash and his rats”
Me, an intellectual: “Kugrash and the Kugrats”
Honestly? Best band name of all time
COCKRASH
@@buzzkill5833 the NYCH side project with the same band members
Kugrash and his Kugrats, plus Kockrash
@@sniper500000 plus cockrash and the kugriches
sophia going from an alcoholic divorcée to probably the most powerful and confident character in the series is the absolute definition of character development.
I do say that the character writing in this series is better than most media I've consumed in general
@@undeniablySomeGuy really, that's what happens when you're a competent writer with no restrictions, like demographics
Emily and Siobhan play DnD as actors. They really get in character, and their characters always end having amazing developments.
Cugrash had a really awesome redemption arc.
@@undeniablySomeGuy 100% agree its had me so hooked and given me so many ideas
“I can’t have what you’re offering, and that’s my fault.” Kugrash is such an amazing character
Taking responsibility for your sins and owning it extremely noble
Kugrash's moment with Brennan touched me the most...
And then KILLING HIMSELF, not even a regular death, not even getting to go to any sort of heaven, to save everyone else
He is one of my favorite characters ever
@@miriamrosemary9110 honestly, I nearly cried when Kugrash's name appeared on the Nice List.
@@kenpokid10 that was so touching oh my god
sometimes love is fighting a bunch of angels to give tax advice to your wife
and if that isn't the unsleeping city then I don't know what is.
Dale is so sweet. We love a burly geek who’s love language is pragmatic gifts and advice 😁 a true monk of the concrete fist right there!
Ok. I cried. (Most of the time Brennan’s goofy and going for laughs, but he can hit the feels as well. Very well done!)
@@zebbin9640 i was literally like now way i’m gonna cry and then sophia said “okay give me the tax advice” THAT IS LOVE RIGHT THERE
As the top comment, I saw this at the start of the video... I am not surprised
Narrator: And with the evil Robert Moses dead....the party gathers around...and curb-stomps Don Confetti.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Don Confetti getting interrogated is still funny to me
XDDDD
@@KumaoftheForest Just love the
"I won't tell you anything"
*closes door*
"I will tell you everything"
@@studentoferror Happy New Years!
I never imagined a situation where I'd have to explain to my family that I'm crying because a rat man ate an everything bagel.
I explained that to my family, and my mother went
"He needed to find peace, the very specific kind of peace that can only be found six feet under"
So that didn't work and I kept crying
Same
@@kwow3233 damn your mother cold af
I like the little implication that Kug becomes the little whisp of air that opened the whole series
Retroactively opened.
I never even thought of that!
That's some Howl's Moving Castle "there you are sweetheart" shit and I love it
I thought I had gotten past his death but I read your comment and my eyes are once more stinging
@@emilyaw3831 he didn't really die, he became the spirit of New York City in a sense... Still, I'll agree it's melancholy as hell
"WHY WOULD YOU GIVE HIM A QUESTING BLADE MR MATSUI?!"
"Thought it would be cool"
Such a Ricky move....
Ricky grew on me big time. The moment he hopped on stage naked I understood his character.
@@JB-ot7sd pretty sure everyone saw his "character"
@@smiegto likely grew on them big-time too
Sophia really committed to supporting Ricky's connection with Esther, this felt like him returning the favor.
"I dunno"
I’m pretty sure that Unsleeping City is the only show where a character could say “Then I eat the bagel!” And force me to gasp 😂
Kuhrash has had the worst luck this whole series and it's so poetically beautiful for him to be the crux of the adventure
Same!
Had to pause to flail aggressively cause I got so overwhelmed by it
@@Quocalimar It was the same in Fantasy High, where for about the last 6 episodes he kept rolling below 10s and nat 1s only to, in the final battle at the very end, deliver the finishing blow. His rolls carry a different kind of poetry, true underdog moves. 👏🏻😭
Immediately starting crying when he said it.
“My Rat Father Ate an Everything Bagel and Achieved Ego Death and All I Got was This Lousy Tee Shirt.”
THIS IS SO FUNNY
All i got was a Santa hat - Wally
"OH, And My Dumb Little Brother Became Santa."
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen
I love Fall Out Boy
Brennan: *Creates single villain that is flying super high above everyone else"
Also Brennan: Why is evryone flying?
Sophia: so anyway I started blasting
brennan created this fight so zac could finally fight someone in the sky
Also also Brennan: SKY BATTLE
With their number of casters, it's just gang's mercy that they aren't all flying and flinging spells from 180 feet away(range + half fly speed)
One warlock with spell sniper just breaks dnd. Kinda weird how fly and 100ft+ range are so common in the game despite it being impossible to track outside roll 20
I cannot believe that Kugrash literally became rat Jesus
Insane!!!
And that's everybody is a character development
You know, that never clicked until now.
I will *NEVER* not laugh my ass off at the way Brennan reacts to Ally's nat 20 and saying "Is this real? Is magic real?"
Brennan questioning God whenever Ally pulls a Nat 20 in the final match
Such an awesome moment!
I was a bit confused why they took a picture. Why was that nat 20 so unbelievable?
@@miriam9419 This is the second consecutive final episode series in which she asked for an insane thing and got a nat 20. Last series she asked "can I roll a nat 20 to live?" and Brennan laughed and went "sure". Immediately had to go into a side story to explain how she suddenly came back from the dead in what was about to be a total party wipe.
She asks for crazy shit and it just happens. Magic is real.
@@miriam9419 I think it's because in like. All of their campaigns Ally has a habit of pulling very plot relevant nat 20s in the finale.
I can't believe nobody told Perry the Pidgeon what happened to Kugrash
headcanon that Perry flies on the breeze that Kugrash embodies and feels him in the air
@@kimpberly omfg HAHSHSHEGWW💀
@@kimpberly Perry tries to fuck the wind to fulfil his earlier promise
Aww man you're right! And I loved Perry! Shoot, missed opportunity.
Though honestly I'm amazed at how much detail and how many story beats they remember to return to and bring to completion. SO MUCH HAPPENS.
I mean there’s a season two of the unsleeping city.........
Between the voice of the people, the voice of dreams, the champion, the chosen one, the leader of the fey court, and a dirty rat, you'd be surprised which one saves the universe and becomes god.
Yeah
less so became god, he started selfish and now he is completely without self, truly selfless he is a good man, hes all good men, and bad men, and all the rats we love, and always with his children.
The fact that Emily’s offhand comment about Dale liking to deer watch (which she got teased for) has persisted this long is fantastic
like brennan's response was an incredulous "he watches deer?" when it first got brought up and now brennan is actively roleplaying dale sobbing because "they're so gentle they're like big yard mice!" it's fantastic
I feel like the players' support for one another's improv is one of the things that sets actual play shows like D20 and CR apart from most home games. It isn't all the voices, it isn't the amazing plotlines or the sets or the minis or the masterful GM skills, though all of that is awesome too. It's really that as players, their goals are TRULY to take whatever their fellow player really wants and saying "Yes, and-!" In such an enthusiastic way. Even if that isn't what you might have done yourself, or if it doesn't make sense to you as a player.
this episode just confirmed the very real existence of rat jesus, thank kugrash also that was hella good
RAT JESUS IS REAL!
@@ronakdave9992 100% just read in that wally's voice
Omigod I didn't even think of that!! Rat Jesus!!!
I can't believe I didn't notice that! IT'S ACTUALLY RAT JESUS!!
Wally is not only Santa, but also a prophet 🤣
Oh my god you're right.
If Wally is Santa now that means that Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie.
If literally Santa came down to me and said "Die hard is the BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE" in that shrill Wally voice I'd still 100% tell him he's wrong.
I'd be wrong, because hes literally fucking Santa, but I would be as confidently wrong as I could be.
Rowan's response to the American dream was probably the most powerful imo, I feel like siobhan did the best job catching the morale this season. Genuinely felt proud of this character.
*Siobhan
I heard that with what she said that Brennan actually halved the remaining hp, it was so powerful
yeah i think siobhan really catches the essence of the battle instead of seeing as just another fight against the big bad
she notices the sheer indifference yet emphaty the american dream have
@@liriodendronlasianthus *Moral
I would have said almost the same thing that she did, but "For you are my love. My one true love." almost made me cry it was so perfect and beautiful
Rewatching this all this time later, it suddenly dawned on me what Robert actually was. He was Vox Machina. The voice of the Machine. (The buildings, the bridges, the infrastructure- all mattered more to him than the people.)
That is genius and is now my head cannon thank you
Amazing theory! Love it
That makes a lot of sense given a major criticism of the real Robert Moses is that people said he loved cars more than his fellow man.
Omigod...he was the Vox Machina who wanted to become the Deus ex Machina...
This begs the question: Did Dimension 20 just defeat the cast of Critical Role's first campaign?!?
Murph's little smiles when people describe how they commemorate Kugrash are so wholesome
❤
Oh crap, I have rewatch this now. I was just listening to the audio!
Pete went from selling drugs to kids to sellin that sick knowledge.
Pete used to sell dreams and now he gives them out for free
Pete went from never learned how to read sorcerer who rolled two nat 1's finding info in the chantry to Don't do drugs, stay in school lol
Bruh murphs character development is fuckin bonkers. "I used to be like you...I used to be a rat." Wild.
But dreams change!
@@Swifeaf *and I eat the bagel*
Sophia: does some ridiculous shit to reach an enemy in the sky
*Gets one hit killed*
*Gets brought back to life*
Sophia: wanna see me do it again?
"Consequences? Never met her" - Sofia Lee, probably
I love the running gag of Sophia mushing food into the ground for her fallen loved ones :')
The dead gotta eat
I NEVER THOUGHT ID BE CRYING OVER A RAT MAN THIS HARD
I cried when sophia decides to take a look at wally right after the fight.
Now that things are all finished I need someone to make a compilation of Brennan playing Nod and trying not to say “Nod Nods”
Yes
"Nod... affirms that"
"Nod moves their head in agreement"
@@coleredmon1908 *their
"Nod gesticulates with the part of the body above their neck
Wally turning into Santa is the most wholesome NPC arc 😭 we don’t deserve him
Dad, don’t bother me right now! Santa and Stephen Sondheim just got killed by the American dream! There’s too much going on!
🤣
Fully lost it at "Hey Dale, just in case you're wondering, the deer are alright." Big fat tears.
"I just want everything in your life to be easy." Deaaaad, crying, dead, merry christmas everyone
Yeah tears
Such a perfect moment
It's crazy how Zac remembered to ask Wally about the essentials.
I absolutely love how Brennan says that it doesn't necessarily make Wally smarter, but that he just has more access to things now. If Wally was "high wisdom low intelligence" in the beginning, he's now a "high wisdom just the right amount of knowledge" character and I love Brennan for putting it that way
i didnt get this part what were the essentials about?
@@nicotinfrei it's been 2 months so I can't remember for sure, but in one of the earlier episodes Wally forgot to buy some stuff from a store (was it toothpaste? Groceries?). It was a very minor thing that Brennan mentioned but Zac still remembered and asked about it all these episodes later
The ultimate post it note reminders.
Ally has quite possibly the most poetic Nat 20s ever.
They got a talent
also some very appropriate nat 1s

-Rowan Berry
I wanna calligraphy that, it made me cry
Brennan's face at that moment is a journey. Plus:
He talked about how he had not put into consideration that Siobhan is an immigrant and would have personal connection to this. And that her speech cut the Dream's HP in half. So so good.
@@MeonLights do you know the episode and time stamp for where they talk about this moment?
@@Caldawg97 I'm sorry I only have seen comments about him mentioning it within the past 2-ish months on Adventuring Academy but I have not found it yet...
@@MeonLights ah no worries, shoot a reply me if you do!
Ally was introduced to D&D to cosmically balance the universe from Wil Wheaton.
What's wrong with wil wheaton?
@@zionflores8312 the man has infamously bad luck. rolls a near supernatural amount of nat 1s.
Taliesin jaffe is the counterpart of will Wheaton. I mean Ally rolls poetic nat 20's but taliesin just rolls nat 20's all the time
@@akmalnisar6206 fair.
They should play at the same table ay least once.
Lou’s acting/role playing this season is just INCREDIBLE. With Liz, with the conversation with the American dream, with the conversation behind Pete’s back. Consistently we see all of Kingston’s complexities come through and it’s amazing
He also commited heavily to the role playing aspect!, saving as many by standards as possible. I feel like the last scene with Saint Peter was a reward for that, the implication is that with every revivify he goes up there and signs the paperwork. He is also the only one who gets to see the people they didn't manage to save!.Truly one of the best things i had to create mental pictures for!
Ally having a knack for nonchalantly making Nat 20s that deeply alter the story in final scenarios is dope.
Yeah, Ally has to have some kind of deal with the spirits IRL because it keeps on happening!
at 31:30 brennan says “the ability for a dream to change, and remain changing, is not a flaw of the realm of dreams. dreams changing with the minds of their dreamers is the most beautiful aspect of dreams.” i’m at a crossroads in my life right now and have no idea what i want to do because i’m having doubts on what i originally dreamed of. i really needed to hear this and almost started crying when he said this. so reassuring. i think i’ll be okay.
you will be okay!! 💜💜
Hello from the future friend; I hope you’re doing well, whatever you’re doing, and following your dreams, change as they may. This too shall pass.
Good luck in future endeavors.
@@Leonagraphy thanks everyone !! the dream did shift and i have an interview coming up for something i didn't even think about doing when i made this comment. things are going to be okay even if i don't get this, even if i jump ship and try something else. i can't go back and console myself, but i hope it's consolation for anyone who comes across this comment :)
@@nonthreateninglizard8659 You got this fam
Also there a lot of lines in this series that I've loved, but my favorite is now probably from this episode in, "It is what it is. And, what it is is anything"
Jesus lied about forgiving everyone and shot himself
@@nkosig4995 yeah this comment and reply basically sum up the entire campaign
Absolutely beautiful
And the fact that they killed Santa in an episode aired on Christmas day
Bro, spoilers
@@aidenaidenen7728 fair but probably shouldn't go in the comments
honestly surprised nobody said, "Hey, you!" a la The Santa Clause when it happened.
God! Why is everyone at that table so hot and talented
The odds are so slim of having that many hot talented people at one table
@@colinkilz7277 Maybe they select for them
Critical Role, Dimension 20, who else we missing?
@@catkingwumpus1370 MCD- wait nevermind
Siob/Rowan responding with empathy and love in the face of a perceived enemy is just. So touching. I'm genuinely moved
Brennan straight up predicted the whole thing of Everything Everywhere All at Once.
• cosmic bagel covered in *everything*
• bagel in some way causes destruction and/or insane knowledge.
• characters(specifically the dream) goes through thousands upon thousands of possibilities of what it could be in a single moment
• the fact that there are these possibilities is basically the whole point of the story
It had to be said.
Indeed it had to be said. I am a new fan of the show so I watched this season after watching EEAAO, so I was fully mind-blowned when the everything bagel was found by Kugrash, not to mention the other parallels.
hearing zac go "but that's just my dream, right?" made me start bawling, mr. march my beloved
Kugrash's little dance will always be in my heart. His dance made me cackle every time he did it.
The moments where Brennan has one-on-ones is just so powerful and does so well in bringing all of the story together.
I keep seeing people say that Siobhan's speech made Brennan cut the Dream's HP and I just want to hear him talk more about that moment, because if I was in that situation, I would've done the exact same thing. Man, you can see that they are pros at what they do.
I need someone to find me that episode
For real! I was like, damn it, Brennan, how many times are you gonna make me cry in one episode?
"I think I got into some bad trash, I don't think I can come back from this one."
That line was soo powerful
If this show has taught me anything is that you should bring Ally to Vegas and not Murph
Ally betting in Vegas would get you into a really well written wattpad mafia fic
idk what it is but as soon as he took the form of a trash rat, his rolls became just as trash.
@@undeniablySomeGuy his rolls as Riz in s1 were pretty trash too
Sorry I meant "The Ball" who tf is Riz
@@nathanbaca5131 "Yes the Ball! Ah, word has gotten around."
The Kugrich family is fucking insane now. David is a vampire, Wally is Santa, and Bruce is some kind of godlike rat spirit.
David isn't a vampire. Kingston removed that curse with the holy laundry detergent the day after the final battle.
I just realized the logo for the series is the Ying and Yang symbol bit with cities
Wait what is it. That’s so smart!
Mind. Blown. 🤯
That shot when Brennan is talking to Lou as the Dream and the Dream is covering Brennan’s mouth in the shot is WILD visually.
Time stamp?
@@latalaudin6611 26:27
Would have been so cool if it went from focusing on Brennan to focusing on the American dream
I've listened to this at least a few times now and only just noticed that shot today. I kind of hope that was intentional on the part of the camera operator.
It looks like silence of the lambs
i love the idea that dale could be in heaven and still feel sad because he misses his wife so much
My favourite thing about Brennan is that he doesn’t care about the rules of DnD, he’ll break them so quickly if it means that the story is better. He allows people to do things after their turn, he changes things so a character can complete what they want to complete, he allows the party room to mess with things and be creative. He doesn’t care about all that, he cares about telling a good and fleshed out story
That kinda attitude is what I try and do in all my campaigns. Like, if it's gonna be cool then go ahead (:
What i like is that he sticks to the characters! If one of the players is doing something that makes sense given their talents he allows it to go a little further, NPCs also are a way in which he nudges players and in this fight it really shone; Santa, The angel of the fountain and NUD were really powerfull allies.
He uses dnd as a framework for telling a great story vs. using dnd as a game to be played
The murph scene was mad respect from one Dm to another

You're doing Melora's work friend
Kord's strength
"A little bit dreamy" is the nicest way I've ever heard someone called queer.
I’m so fucking glad I wasn’t the only one that picked up on Brennen’s (maybe?) unintentional subtext lmao
I honestly teared up
So true, and it also resonated with me on a neruodivergent level. I felt like it was implied that Pete turned to drugs because he needed to get away (specifically from transphobia and the like), which as a young ND kid is what I did with books when I felt too big for the world. Just the thought of giving kids who might turn to self-medication through drugs etc. having a space like that made me tear up.
Oh holy shit I forgot Pete canonically takes prescription Adderall, the man’s canon ADHD! No wonder it resonated that way
23:08 when a DM PC and a DM both know the game just fucking changed
Murph looks so shocked at himself
I'm so obsessed with their answers to the American Dream, they truly sum up the characters and their growth
Ricky's immediate 'But that's just my dream right?' Is so painfully in character. He's endlessly selfless, and even something so tempting couldn't change that
Sophia's was funny but also so profound, she's already been to heaven, she's already made her peace with her husband. What he's offering isn't truly her dream anymore, she's moved on
Kugrash, oh my god. Honestly it's the opposite of Sophia - he does still want that dream, desperately so, but he knows he can't be that selfish anymore, and it's so heartbreaking but so beautiful
Rowan's is truly a moment of love and acceptance, a moment of raw emotion. It's also a big point of self reflection for her, she doesn't even consider her own dream and only tries to reason with it
Kingston is wholeheartedly an old man who's already achieved full growth and maturity, there was never any chance of him accepting the dream. He's still so polite, so kind, but firm in his refusal
And then Pete of course, so curious and desperate to learn, desperate to see the good in a grim world. He's gotten to a point he realises the responsibilities he has, that he's part of something bigger than himself. He's become a leader
Pete went from selling drugs to high schoolers and eating microwaved cheese to being sober and buff and saving New York City. That´s character development right there, folks.
I don't remember Pete eating microwaved cheese. I thought that was Wally with the hot dogs and string cheese
@@Quocalimar Episode 1 in Pete's intro where he's talking with Dr Primjitzski.
My head canon that Wally is autistic is made 100% better with him being the new Santa Claus. Earth deserves the goodness that is an autistic Santa, and that is Wally.
Similarly, I appreciated how quickly Brennan shut down the idea that the hat was “making Wally smarter”. It wasn’t changing Wally, who he is, or how he acts, it was just giving him access to the things Santas get to know that no one else does.
"the juul killed him, he died of popcorn lung" I WHEEZED
“I just want everything in your life to be easy” is possibly the sweetest line I’ve ever heard and now I’ll have to go about the rest of my life hoping my relationships can somehow live up to that

The "goodbye old friend" KILLED ME

@@wobble.1587 1:26:09
I always forget what a wreck Sofia was before she joined the party, until they zoom in on her mini and I see the beer bottles. What an evolution!
Hosted my first game as DM tonight, it went pretty well and everyone had fun! Just wanted to thanks Brennan and people involved in the show for the encouragement!
Same man I have been inspired by this show to start dming
Having Rowan sing a toast and goodbye to Kugrash might honestly be one of the strongest moments in the chapter. It really captures the emotions of the moment after such a brutal battle with real, heavy loss. Siobhan really knows how to pick up some of the heaviest moments of the show and carry them well. She gives Kugrash’s death more depth, showing that he’s gone but will be missed and remembered by his found family. It just shows the real connections the PCs made over time.
The group just fucking beating up Don Confetti made me lose my shit
When Ally rolled a Nat 20 on the arcana check, it reminded me of their luck with the instagram filter roll of getting Gilear, and it feels right. It feels poetic.
In which episode was that?
@@myra_4 vid “Fantasy High cast tries Fantasy High character selector”
This was an incredible first Dimension 20 season to watch, I cannot get past Lou acting like 55 year olds are grey bones in a grave
i like to think that's more of a kingston thing. he gives me the vibe of a guy who's been like, "15 going on 50" his entire childhood and now just considers himself an old man even though he's like, barely past middle aged lmao
I desperately need him to see a clip of every time he pretended 55 is at death's door when he turns, like, 45. The view from there is just so different lol
"I've lived a long life, I've made my peace..."
Kingston. Dearest. You are 55. You are BARELY in middle age.
(honestly surprised Alejandro never called Kingston out on that. Feels like an Alejandro thing to do 😂)
Anyone else start crying at Siobhans speech to the American dream? Just me?
Brennan has said on Adventuring Academy that he fully halved the Dreams hp after that speech, it was so powerful.
Time stamp please?

Every single time. I don’t know why it gets me so much.
@@3ndlessL00p Really? Which Adventuring Academy was that?
Omygod it just hit me how poetic it is for a trans man to be the representative of the dream world, transitioning is one of the most literal examples of taking something you feel/dream and trusting/believing in it to turn it into a reality you share with others
*trans people are valid, I'm not saying you're just make believing your gender, i'm saying that transitioning is an example of having faith in your feelings and giving birth to your dreams even in the face of physical/societal things which conflict with that dream.
@@joeytansey8466 dont worry I got what you were saying.
I'm trans, and I completely feel this.
@@joeytansey8466 i mean u kind of r make believing it. that's the magic of it bby
@@user-qv2qf1jk5o Nooooo. Gender is all make believe. I am a guy because society tells me I'm a guy. That's all it is.
Dale’s love of deer is so good I’m crying
"Look Sofie it's a baby one!"
Ally has clutched each season ending so far
it legitimately happens *every main quest*
Fantasy High s1&2
Unsleeping City s1&2 (for s2 the finales not out yet, but there have been clutch rolls)
AND A Crown of Candy
@@explolsivecake2045 idk if they can top themself in the unsleeping city season 2 after that nat 20. You know the one.
@@quiroz923 I don't please don't say it. I don't have dropout yet
YUPPP
Brennan: Emily has come from hell to kill me.
Ally, with their ability to roll clutch, season finale 20's: Allow me to introduce myself.
"did you beat up a bunch of angels to give me text advice?"
"I just want everything in your life to be easy."
BrenNAN .... I AM CRYING ..... WTF
I normally wouldn't comment on a video from years past, knowing that no one would ever see my words, but it's just not fair how good these character arcs are!!
- Pete, despite having been drowning himself in escapism through drugs and bitter tough-guy apathy for years, grew to care for his friends and take positive action with his dream powers as a powerful Vox Phantasma!!
- Sophie became the strongest and most independant woman in existence through her own unshakable will, basically deifying herself as the representation of the Big-Dreaming New York Individual that both serves and is served by the Vox Populi and Vox Phantasma!!!
- Kugrash was offered everything he could have ever wanted, but instead he looked back on all his crimes born from greed, read the villain's creed of "greed is good" and _tore that shit to pieces_ as he inflicted ego death on himself and danced his hairy-baby ass out into the stars!!!!
- Kingston allowed himself to recognise that he was also a part of New York and should be allowed to have a bit of joy and a few dreams to look forward to himself!!!!!!!
- Rowan and Ricky both continued to be fucking HOT AS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY LOVE THEIR CITY AND RICKY ACCIDENTALLY BUSTED A GUY OUT OF HEAVEN BECAUSE HE'S AN AWESOME DUMBASS!!!!!
"I want to see [The American Dream's] True Form" Is the DOPEST SHIT for that nat 20! HOLY HELL.
Watching Emily's face as she realizes Kug is gonna die 😭
"The Juul killed him, he died with popcorn lung". What a great start to an episode 😂
"It's my cheat day." was pure gold.
Ally "you have one hit point but your @$$ is getting rammed" was too hilarious. Also gotta love Ricky and Esther's love story
You want to know the power of a nat 1? As Sophie said “that’s a nat 1” at 41:30 my device died
i will never get over this hairy baby man and his loving human friends, may he dance in the sky forever
"In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you" -- TUC really was just Everything Everywhere All At Once before its time
Wow.
1. I was tearing up approximately every five minutes through that whole episode.
2. It occurred to me at the end. Kugrash sees you when you're sleeping. Kugrash knows when you're awake...
Is Kugrash going to manage the list for Wally?
"where are you going? are you going to come back and hang out?" "Actually I need you to hang out with Wally now.." IM WRECKED I'm too invested in these characters 😭😭😭
kug's start of being only for himself, abandoning his family, to being part of everything, being for all is soooooo --cries--
oh goddamn kugrash is literally the greatest saddest story ever told
Id like to personally thank Brennan, Zach, Ally, Lou, Murph, Siobhan and Emily. This was a masterpiece. 34+ hours, better than any Netflix series you could watch, it was perfect. The beginning of this episode actually had me crying in the club. It was incredible and i cant wait to see The Unsleeping City 2. If only I had this experience in my life sooner, I've been missing out.
What's the online equivalent of a one-minute standing ovation?? cuz THAT
To the Whole D20 cast,Brennan and the ppl making these fucking BOSS battle maps!!!!!
Well the dnd equivalent would be ten rounds of combat
I really appreciate how in the middle of all these amazing custom D&D minis and terrain there's just a Santa figurine of about the right size from the post-Christmas clearance.
How are none of them crying during the dream scenes? I literally can't with the story line
All the things they do for Kugrash at the end, ughhh its so sweeeet
I really, really appreciated that. Murph & Brennan clearly did too. :)
I frickin love how brennan talked to talk to each player individually to make the right choice when talking to the american dream.
The Unsleeping City has truly touched a different place in my heart and mind than fantasy high could ever reach. I definitely love FH (it being my favourite seasons of dim. 20) but TUC has reached into this other piece of me that seemed forgotten and so far away.
Its honestly incredible and makes me tear up.
Ally just has the power of friendship in all the final fights they play in
*they
@@awaterbottle5978 thanks for the correction
The absolutely gutting part about Offers is that he just offers them a life without violence.
I LOVE how the cast made their whole stink about it being another episode and then clearly just got up took a break got more snacks changed clothes and came back ❤️ what gems
It was the same sitting?
Yeah they mentioned the previous episode it was super early because they were planning to be there for a lonnnnng day of filming
