my favorite parts are the parts where one option is so passionate and gets placed immediately and then the horror on your face when you remember the other two options. 10/10 love it
This is amazing but I also love the "well it's dnd so I just assume if they speak a language I can magic my way into communicating" vs "well, they live underwater but I can't breathe there sooo"
I love watching videos like these because it's a humbling experience, y'know? You get comfortable after a while, start thinking you're normal. Keeps you grounded. Reminds you the Maticore isn't an obvious fuck for everybody, and that "scary looking" is actually a negative, not a bonus to most.
I love how the ground rules include the fact that as long as something understands a language you can do magic about it, but we're just ignoring the fact that potions of water breathing exist the whole time
this video genuinely sent me off on the thought train of how to make a marriage work with a succubus. like, "oh, well we can just have a polyamorous and/or open relationship where we get certain needs met elsewhere, but we can still love each other and communicate! i imagine the succubus will also want an additional partner because it's not like she's getting her needs met from what she does, right? it's not like she's doing it to have fun, she's trying to gain sustenance. she's a sex worker is what i'm saying. really what is sex work other than having sex as a food source but with more steps and less soul-stealing?" and then of course that would mean the claw would go in the penthouse. i have only one thing to say about that: what that hand do?
the joy? when I saw this video was out? Unparalleled. Unprecedented. Sleeptime listening handled for the next three weeks I think. Then back to old verbs compones.
Love the video!! We love to realize how fckable things can be in the right circumstances. Also for future videos I think it would be good to boost the audio volume by about 45%!
22:00 "Hands are a necessary component for the top category" I beg to differ, and so would InCase in what I believe is chapter 10 of Alfie, Aka, Voroni night. Also, snake with wings would have MAD cuddles I wouldn't pass up.
The energy this entire video was immaculate 10/10 This and the Ice Age video had me laughing the entire time, love the energy, love the vibes (and love the podcast)
Question: Do you have to actually fight the ones you say you'll kill, or do they just drop dead, because that seems like a very important detail that would change my answers drastically.
You know what we learned today? That our ideas of what is fuckable is entirely different, and I may need to consider raising my standards one day. Not today, but one day.
I'm surprised at how many undead you let through, because that just can't be sanitary -- but of them all, you consistently skipped all the undead that happened to be high level wizards. They can shapeshift, control matter, make magic items, and do all kinds of things to your senses -- if undeath and touch attacks aren't a hard no, what's wrong with a (demi/draco)lich? Maybe you can be the living caretaker/heir of their scary tower or whatever, if you put a ring on them. Also, one thing I love about the older DnD monster manuals, is that they include an entire section just for ecology stuff and what kinds of interesting stuff wizards could make out of the monster's bits. Sometimes you need to know that they nest in pairs with 2d4 nestlings, or that fairy dragons love apple pie, or that the mucous can be refined into potions of water breathing. I'm also a little surprised that you decided "we can use magic to talk", but didn't go for rings of fire protection. There's plenty of creatures that successfully crossbreed with fire elementals, so there's ways to survive it in reasonable health.
When I need some tavern stories for my players to overhear I will come back here. Honestly, I am very into the Beauty and the Beast style romance with the nothic. Or a story about a knight who embraced a will-o-wisp, sounds bittersweet, I like it.
My RUclips app crashed immediately as soon as you said “snog, snatch, send away,” and I think that was a sign “Make out, murder, matrimony” is genuinely a very good one though
On the topic of beholders/spectators, in Baldur's Gate 2 there's a spectator that you don't have to fight if you have a high enough Int or Cha, you can kind of banter and come up with a mutually beneficial solution, and nothing about the interactions is flirty but like... as D&D monsters go, one could definitely do worse.
Part 1: F Saytr M Vine Blight K Cyclops F Weird M Drider K Incubus F Cloaker M Weretiger K Goristro F Planatar M Deathknight K Ogre F Spectator M Monodrone K Quasit F Bulliwug M Beholder K Hook Horror F Chuul M Bugbear K Slaad F Manticore M Orc K Ettin F Marid M Jackalwere K Otyugh F Mind Flayer M Rakshasa K Chimera F Giant M Dragon K Marilith I refuse to justify any of these
Absolutely perfect and incredible video as always Haley, please keep up the good work!! (but also please turn up your volume going forward, this video is very quiet compared to most others on youtube)
this and the baldurs gate video combined give a great picture of where specifically haley falls on the monsterfucker scale
Surprisingly low, all things considered, which honestly makes it funnier
“All metallic dragons are prime spouse material” as someone who listens to Unprepared Casters, this take doesn’t surprise me at all lmao
"would he *murder* me at any point in the marriage?"
the bar for a D&D monster partner is so low 😔
This has huge BDG/Unraveled vibes and I love it so much
I imagine this as banter around a campfire
Brian David Gilbert reference let's go!
"Nutty Buddy Box" is another good phrase for fmk.
Omg you've had a vision
my favorite parts are the parts where one option is so passionate and gets placed immediately and then the horror on your face when you remember the other two options. 10/10 love it
"This hand and I are getting MARRIED. And we're going to be HAPPY together."
There once was a bard on the horn
Who happened upon a Xorn
He denies they conspired
But nine months transpired
And his new darling daughter was born!
😂😂
Hahahahaa
This is amazing but I also love the "well it's dnd so I just assume if they speak a language I can magic my way into communicating" vs "well, they live underwater but I can't breathe there sooo"
Marrying the mono-drone gives me the same energy as being married to your *spicy* electric “toothbrush”
It has ONE JOB and it's very good at it
Things I learned from this video:
1. Haley ✍️ has ✍️ a ✍️ thing ✍️ for ✍️beholders.
2 Haley is engaged
Haley and the Crawling Claw are so great together 🥰
I love watching videos like these because it's a humbling experience, y'know? You get comfortable after a while, start thinking you're normal. Keeps you grounded. Reminds you the Maticore isn't an obvious fuck for everybody, and that "scary looking" is actually a negative, not a bonus to most.
Look, I'm a monster fucker like any other, but if there is *one* monster I wouldn't boink it's the manticore.
My EXACT sentiment when she sincerely called the manticore "too scary" 😔
She didn't smash the manticore.??
imagine asking a crawling claw for its hand in marriage
New challenge: take all the monsters you put in the marriage category & play this game with just them
Worse challenge: do this with the slain beasts
😆😂
5:00 in the immortal words of Adam Savage: “The only difference between science and goofing around is writing it down”
Psuedodragon on the bottom because small dragon immediately after marrying the faerie dragon fucking sent me
I love how the ground rules include the fact that as long as something understands a language you can do magic about it, but we're just ignoring the fact that potions of water breathing exist the whole time
Just got on the Whipjack train today and I respect how much of your content consists of performing unethical psychological experiments on yourself.
"Maybe they're cool! I've consulted the book; they're *not* cool"
😂😂😂
This is why I love you so much, Whipjack. You are amazing 😂
this video genuinely sent me off on the thought train of how to make a marriage work with a succubus. like, "oh, well we can just have a polyamorous and/or open relationship where we get certain needs met elsewhere, but we can still love each other and communicate! i imagine the succubus will also want an additional partner because it's not like she's getting her needs met from what she does, right? it's not like she's doing it to have fun, she's trying to gain sustenance. she's a sex worker is what i'm saying. really what is sex work other than having sex as a food source but with more steps and less soul-stealing?"
and then of course that would mean the claw would go in the penthouse. i have only one thing to say about that: what that hand do?
I cannot believe how often we disagreed, but it told me more about myself than I ever wished to know. Thanks for that.
The fact this video is over an hour long and I'd been laughing continuously through the first 12 minutes means this is going to be a personal favorite
honestly a good portion of the monsters in the monster manual are fckable
like a surprising amount
Words to live by: if you have the opportunity to marry a metallic dragon, you BETTER put a ring on it.
“The couatl doesn’t have enough limbs.” “The xorn has too many limbs”
I think the one you lost is the Aboleth, whose absense I noted only because it's the best monster ever.
My favorite thing about any Haley video is the big "Is she okay?" energy she gives off.
I think it’s funny that you are a bard but won’t spend any spell slots to breath underwater, fire resistance, etc.
She spent all her spell slots on charm person
I think we all learned a very important thing today
Haley gives a convening amount of thought into hands
In watching this, I learned that I have some very weird hills to die on-- including that cyclopses get the pit. They know what they did
the joy? when I saw this video was out? Unparalleled. Unprecedented. Sleeptime listening handled for the next three weeks I think. Then back to old verbs compones.
cannot explain how much it means to me that i am someone's nighttime comfort audio
Truly the hunger games of "I can fix him" candidates
now i want to play a wizard that was power-of-love'd out of being a nothic
Bed, Wed, Behead is my favorite version
I think the part of haley that refused the flameskull was also aster on her shoulder being petty and annoyed by what happened to him
Love the video!! We love to realize how fckable things can be in the right circumstances. Also for future videos I think it would be good to boost the audio volume by about 45%!
good to know, thank you!
The Nothic section was literally "I can fix him" LMAO
22:00 "Hands are a necessary component for the top category" I beg to differ, and so would InCase in what I believe is chapter 10 of Alfie, Aka, Voroni night. Also, snake with wings would have MAD cuddles I wouldn't pass up.
The energy this entire video was immaculate 10/10
This and the Ice Age video had me laughing the entire time, love the energy, love the vibes (and love the podcast)
Honestly I so *strongly* agree with your stance on FMK vs. Smash or Pass.
The change in part 2 about dragons being fine even if they don't shapeshift is such a vibe
19:16 Baldur's Gate 3 has aged this section well
Question: Do you have to actually fight the ones you say you'll kill, or do they just drop dead, because that seems like a very important detail that would change my answers drastically.
Y'know, you're right! 😂
The unicorn kids are celestial patron warlocks, and spells are their allowance.
imagine someday in the future this is the only remaining record of the DnD monsters
“I’m sure I had a good reason at the time” for the only decision you didn’t explain at all 😂
“And The Spector. Which is different from a ghost because it’s.. purple 🙂”
The Chimera, Rakshasa, and Mindflayer was the easiest- BG3 already decided one for me
You know what we learned today? That our ideas of what is fuckable is entirely different, and I may need to consider raising my standards one day. Not today, but one day.
A year later, I wonder just how many of us have snogged or snagged a mind flayer.
I have watched this video several times and on none of those occasions have I played along. I just really love listening to you talk.
"Sometimes the Nutty Butty box gives you a break"
This. This right here is my comfort human
Bed, wed, behead
I love that we have this collective hatred for Onis just because of one character from one Podcast. Justice for Mollymauk, long may he reign.
Truly life changing content. The absolute pinnacle of (fmk) listings! Bravo all the way around

I’m about halfway through the video now but the way you just lost your mind by the time you got to the crawling claw had me in stitches 😂😂😂
Huge BDG vibes and I love it
This is my new favorite RUclips video ever
50:55 Fun fact. Despite a 20 INT Demilich stat block has no languages. So they fail the Harkness test
Your expressions are amazing
Couatl has Change Shape, so I don’t think the snake thing would be a problem. I would’ve married him.
What a wild ride! FMKs should be a new self reflection tool
I love your vibe and I love that you clearly play/or enjoy the concept of dnd!
we just fought a Vrock (@30:55)! They drip spores! Smash!
Instant subscribe upon hearing “Snuggle struggle lifelong double”
Hey the cyclops in castle crashers is LOYAL to his boyfriend and that is the kind of commitment you deserve.
My RUclips app crashed immediately as soon as you said “snog, snatch, send away,” and I think that was a sign
“Make out, murder, matrimony” is genuinely a very good one though
This is amazingly entertaining lol
the spectator and the beholder are pretty chill. they just wanna watch as you get your freak on with one of the others up there.
Well now the mind flayer question can be a different answer...
Oh Haley, oh no on being one short XD

33:39 ironic how you decide to kill the ‘unkillable’ dragon
10:00 "somebody once told me the world is gonna role me, i aint the sharpest tool in the she~ed :("
I truly lost it at the intellect devourer reveal
Despite the metric ass-load of incorrect info, I absolutely love this video. It's so beautiful
Jackalweres are said to suffer great pain if they utter a truth. It would be a poor marriage.
Your videos are such a delight. Never change. ❤
Watching this while cleaning but when I rewatch I'll play the home game

this is genuinely my favorite video to ever exist on the internet
i have never in my life heard so many synonyms. love it
Omg i love this idea and I have not even seen the video till the end
Ogres...have layers.
I can't believe you killed the ogre.
as a monster fucker (derogatory) this was a very fun video
Absolutely perfect and incredible video as always Haley, please keep up the good work!! (but also please turn up your volume going forward, this video is very quiet compared to most others on youtube)
At some point I started thinking of of this you randomly collecting a harem, and honestly I feel like you acquired a pretty good harem
This was a life-altering experience.
tbh i would marry a bugbear purely because of one captain kp hob from dimension 20
Harkness:
Commander Shepard:
Banging Aliens: 🤌🤌
I watched this entire thing, and I don't know why.
The amount of effort and time spent on this video, all for regrets of 66% of the choices. I love it. Great content
the crawling claw could also give the family owlbear some really good head scritches, which is important
Saying I can fix him on a willow whisp is perfect considering that they Lead you astray.
Amazing job Haley, going on the list of favorite long ass videos
This was gold
Yes I watched through the whole thing
Hayley don't you know I love you
You can spend hours talking about anything and I WILL watch it
