She is one of the most supportive of the party. Everyone of the characters she helps. Fjord with his str, caleb with his studies, Nott with her fears, and Jesters...god
I'm so glad that Fjord and Beau are so close since Grog and Key'leth didn't have as much of a connection. Travis and Marisha play off each other so well.
I think Beau and Fjord's dynamic is to show that they are really great friends, and the characters are just that, characters. Because Grog had several agitated moments with Key speaking in her circular logic.
I mean its more advice on how to interact with people than life lessons, but there are definitely life lessons in there that hit me in the heart, and the 7 wis half orc isnt who i expected them from
These two being seated together is like that jock and lesbian you have in highschool who became the unlikeliest of friends when they got grouped into a project together sophomore year now they share a braincell.
@@nicholasgerald9665 lets be honest tho, fjord pre wildmother is just a somewhat egotistical individual, he wouldnt accept help from others because that made it feel weak.
Marisha, as Beau, pretending to be Tracy, flirting with her husband, pretending go be an insecure Dock hand, is the most awkward thing ever. I'm here for it
53:48 Beau, reluctantly: "because we care about each other!" Fjord, sarcastically: "oooh fucking shit we do?? Amazing!" One of my favourite exchanges of theirs
@@TiliaCordata i feel like they are the jock and the stoner that met on vacation and bonded over umbrella drinks and good weed and ended up just keeping in touch over facebook with philosophy posts.
Divinity Quartz THIS. This is EXACTLY what this is. And Caleb is their intelligent but emotionally self-destructive (magic) user friend who they both just want to keep on the straight and narrow and healthy/happy.
@@navohari9434 yeah like fjord looked up to caleb as a big bro in middle/high school and they both grew up. Fjord to be a sailor and caleb to be a reserves soldier to get through college. Caleb ended up dropping out and was fucked up from having to fight. Fjord paid his way through college with hard work and grit. On spring break he met cad and they helped get caleb through some real bad times.
Fjord teaching Beau how to charisma is the funniest part of their dynamic to me. Him quickly yelling “Face!” and watching her put on a smile and try to make her voice more gentle is so funny and her pure excitement about being a “good” host is adorable.
Fjord and Beau have such a respectable sibling relationship. The fact they are two beings capable of such murder and destruction, yet poke at each other so freely.
Ones capable of summoning demons and smiting people with godly energy, one can punch you hard enough to knock your jaw off and theyre the best brjeaus ever. Best part is the sibling energy. Like fjord hitting beaus tattoo. That had me on my ass
I have to point out 21:37 for the absolute mastery of character that they both have. Travis is playing an orphan who never knew his parents and has spent his life alone and rejected. Marisha is playing someone who was rejected by her family and was alone and bitter. This interaction hits so many profound notes on their differences and similarities. Absolutely delightful.
Yessss, I feel like Beau doenst have as many big flashy moments in the campaign as the other characters but she's at the heart of so many really great relationships in the group
True, Her and Caleb's empire kids relationship is actually my favorite thing in this campaign. Beau does get a lot of flashy combat moments to compensate though. So many stunning strikes and *pop* *pops*
Durring the moment Beau says 'Having one Transformative moment doesnt make you a different person over night', the Reaction from travis's eyes darting all over the place was great because of Future fjord stuff.
I hated that people were being pissy about Fjord wanting, at first, Beau, to have a relationship with her dad. Theres so many Orphaned people who have been through such shit that have seen/imagined all their lives romanticized versions of families that could over come anything. Of course he's sure there's some way to fix this
Yeah it had the real energy of that only child you knew telling you how you don't appreciate how lucky you are to have a sibling so you should work things out even if there's an estragements. They mean well...but also don't know what they're talking about.
I already mentioned this in the original video, but I love this moment so much so I'm gonna say it anyway. I love that at 44:35 Fjord has noticed that Beau is visibly upset and at first panics and looks all worried, but then he leans back with the realization that even though he doesn't want to he's going to be the one to check up on her (since no one else seems to have noticed her being upset yet). He struggles with feelings and being vulnerable (as does Beau), but he's willing to put that aside to make sure his friend is ok. It's amazing how you can pick up on these little details that pinpoints character development as well as makes the mighty nein's friendships so much more endearing and authentic.
I mean... every duo is my favorite duo... but this might be my favorite duo. All aboard the S.S. Friendship with Capt. Tusktooth and first mate Beauregard.
Wish the Remorhaz fight was in here. Arguably the best moment of either campaign. Fjord with no powers, embarrassingly low strength for an orc, and the knowledge that he can't overpower the Remorhaz refuses to let go of it because it has Beau. And then it gets even better as the Captain America theme kicks in, Cat's Ire grabs hold of Fjord and he pulls the Remorhaz out of the hole, like Cap pulling the helicopter in Civil War.
@@aaronbourque5494 For reference, Frost Giants wrestles Remorhazs. *Frost Giants*. Things that are much bigger and stronger than ford. No ordinary half orc could do that.
53:44 Fjord: Why would we have come running in? Beau (quickly): Because we care about each other... Fjord: Oh! Fuckin' shit! We do? Amazing! Does that apply to you as well? Beau (quietly): I dunno... Such a funny moment and a great response from Fjord.
I love the fact that while Fjord was so desperate on finding someone to look up to and follow, he was blind to the fact that we was a role model and leader for people like Beau, Caleb, Jester, etc. It's why I love Cad so much as a character, he allowed Fjord to embrace that and see himself as the leader he is.
These two... THESE TWO ARE THE MOST "NORMAL" OF THE MIGHTY NEIN. A Half-Orc Sailor Under the Employ of a Fucking Cthulhu Monster & A Human Monk whose Personality is Best Described as "Resting Bitch Face"......................... I fucking love this duo so much
I love these Brjeaus. Also on a sidenote, i love this parallel of C1 where it was Ashley as Pike teaching Travis's Grog how to be a better person/ educate him & now Travis as Fjord is doing that for Marisha's Beau.
51:53 The part about how "it's crazy to think that you've peaked" is strangely resonating with me right now: I worked my ass off throughout high school, getting a 34 on the ACT while doing AP, IB, and Concurrent Enrollment Programs. I did all of that hoping to get into some high and amazing colleges. I applied to 6 of them just to increase my chances. And all 6 turned me down. I had a safe one that is now offering to pay for a lot of my college fees, and I am stoked about that! But my ego has been bristling ever since reading through all of those rejection letters: Why didn't I get in? Do I just suck? Have I reached my peak? Playing this in the background while still doing my schoolwork, I'm weirdly reassured that "Y'know what? No, it's stupid and self-absorbed to assume that I've reached my peak. Hell no! So what if I wasn't accepted? I'll go ahead and do my best at this college instead." Thanks for the upload, m8.
So, as someone on the other side of that whole thing, and formerly in charge of hiring for a place where we looked at degrees, I am here to assure you - what matters is what you accomplish, not where you accomplish it. Go to your safety school and prove that they were fools for rejecting you.
Yep. Agree with the hiring guy above. Scores help, and as I'm a Brit I'm assuming they're good, but it matters what you do. Protip: if you do something, anything outside of work or school where you succeed, that's relevant too. Organised a camping trip with your friends? Good interpersonal and motivational skills. Paper helps to meet a minimum standard, but your experiences are where you excel.
I'm only 6 minutes into this thing but I'm already dying from how much they've changed!! I forgot how awful they all were, (as Molly would lovingly say, trash people) and it's just character development at it's finest! Also, I just had a realization during the whole 'apology' thing and it hurt me so now I have to share and hurt you. I was thinking, what if the reason Caleb is just staring so blankly at Beau during the whole thing (also note that he's scratching his arms) is because he's never had someone apologize to him for doing him wrong. He's so used to blaming himself for all of his problems and for people's harming of him that to be faced with someone who's admitting their faults and taking responsibility for hurting him and apologizing for it is so foreign because he hasn't gotten that, and he can't do it himself, either and I just.....yeah.
Well, this comment hurt my heart. But thank you for pointing it out. I'm going to go write Shadowgast fanfiction now where they're just in love and surrounded by cats.
Honestly I’ve always seen them as adoptive siblings in a way, especially post-multiclass Fjord. Travis and Marisha have this great energy when playing off each other, and it makes them delightful to watch.
the "and WHY would we have come running in??" "...... -_- because we care about each other...." "oh fucking shit, we do? amazing! Does that apply to you as well?" gets me every time. They're such good friends!!! and they support each other!! i'm a weepy mess!!!! TT^TT
i love beau. she's funny, a badass, doesn't take crap and always telling it like it is. sure, she's an arsehole but an endearing one and she's trying. add to that her past and how she always strives to be a better person, she's easily my favourite mighty nein character.
"Don't be embarrassed to apologize. It takes a big person to apologize for somethin'. Little people are the ones who make mistakes and just let 'em go." Wow.
49:48 literally broke me... beau has realized her real family are the nein while realizing her subconscious love for her blood family. Fjord loves her as his sister and knows that she needs to accept her choice in herself before offering the backing of the crew. Her crying shows her realizing that her physical strength can only save her so much but doesn’t mean anything when confronted with a metaphysical debate
@44:34 is one of my favorite moments, since its the actual players figuring something out about them without doing any actual communication beyond just getting into character, watching Travis realize what was going on was AWESOME.
The whole "going back to Kamordah" convo is WILD once its revealed that Fjord grew up orphaned on the streets of Port Damali. His emotional maturity really shines because he realizes that a blood family means something very different to Beau than it does to him, and he's trying to account for that while gently pushing her to move past these issues to potentially save their lives. He's not telling her to "get over it", he's just trying to buy her more time/another chance with them. Even bringing up her little brother and introducing the idea he's an "innocent" in all this, just putting things into a new perspective for her.
Yes but a person with low self-esteem that has an attractive person talking to him will not see details like that. Ape brain goes on at prospective mate.
Beau's arc has been my favourite for a few reasons this campaign, i knew Fjord was instrumental to that but this really highlights how much :) bravo to these guys
I SCROLLED THROUGH ALL THE COMMENTS AND NOT 1 MENTIONED, How Beau promised to punch The Traveler when she see them again!?! ....they about to be at Traveler Con....
I want to see the Traveler appear and start to give a nice speech and be grand and powerful, off to the side, Beau is in the air, mid jump, about to punch him across the face.
@@FoxHound-ut1hu That backfired on him didn't it? Arch Fey with god complex gets his shit pushed in by literal gods so now he just sulks invisibly around the M9
I do have to say it’s so neat to see the incremental shifts in beau over time, as she really does work to take in fjords advice and improves at it. Acting out your character’s personality in one scene is cool, but being able to layer the complexities of a character that changes over time like that Is really impressive to do so effortlessly. It’s something I always struggled with as a player.
10:00 I can't wait for Matt to make a call back to Marpaul when the gang is in Nicodranis, would be hilarious to see the reaction when an excited "TRACEY" gets called out as they are by the docks during a stealth bit.
@20:55 i think this is my favourite interaction between the two solely because beau has no idea where they are and fjord knows that... HOWEVER, even while sleeping beau managed to keep the ship on course and not actually run into anything
I love that whenever the team does something really dark or something gruesome they regret, Caleb just isn't bothered. It reflects his conditioning in the academy, he's done much worse things for much less.
I want to be one of the many to say that you are a goddess amongst men through this weird time in the world. Thank you for putting in all this work for other people to enjoy. I hope the Traveler, Sarenrae, Melora, and even Uk'atoa bless you with good tidings and love
I feel like caleb acts a little bit more like a younger brother to her. His quiet "dont go" hurt my soul. I kinda prefer to think of it like that cuz beau having both of those relationships is so good for her after being rejected by her real family, plus orphan fjord and "i killed my whole family" caleb
I know that fans feel a strong connection to C1 characters, but I feel like the party members in C2 interact way more positively with each other. This feels like a real group of friends rather than adventurers that tolerate each other.
Leonidasatom well they know everyones mothers name except for fjord, yasha, and molly. Fjord is an orphan, yasha is also an orphan(?)(maker). Molly doesnt remember who he is.
Adventurers that tolerated each other? They were family! We just missed the beginning development, because we were introduced to them after they were already close.
@@Levsa399 Most of the party hardly ever interacted with grog, same with keyleth the few times she was allowed to talk, the girls interactions with scanlan usually boiled down to "you're gross". I understand that in the story they're supposed to be family, but in terms of table talk there were a lot of lines drawn. I think the cast has grown a lot since C1 and it shows in how generous and open they are with RP in C2.
idk i always feel super proud when beau asks fjord for help on how to be nice, like yeah! you don't have to figure it out alone! yeah! you should try to be better! yeah!!!!
God I always find it so funny how at 44:29 Travis's arms are so big compared to Marisha's and I can't get over the fact that in the story, what Essek sees is basically the opposite with Fjord and Beau.
Fjord only had a 7 for Wisdom, and it made for only a few moments, but those moments were very touching. i know this show is largely improv, but watching these clips together, and thinking on the personal journey he goes on with Caduceus as his sort-of guide, it makes it all feel fated.
?.... off the top of my head i can only recall one occasion with Raishon(?) where Grog tells Keyleth to be patient..other than that Grog just rage and hit..Fjord and Beau is an on going growth friendship/bond that develops..just my take

I mean its more advice on how to interact with people than life lessons, but there are definitely life lessons in there that hit me in the heart, and the 7 wis half orc isnt who i expected them from

It was more of charisma lessons, which makes sense if you look at their charisma scores.

"Don't be embarrassed to apologize. It takes a big person to apologize for somethin'. Little people are the ones who make mistakes and just let 'em go."
Wow.
49:48 literally broke me... beau has realized her real family are the nein while realizing her subconscious love for her blood family. Fjord loves her as his sister and knows that she needs to accept her choice in herself before offering the backing of the crew. Her crying shows her realizing that her physical strength can only save her so much but doesn’t mean anything when confronted with a metaphysical debate
@44:34 is one of my favorite moments, since its the actual players figuring something out about them without doing any actual communication beyond just getting into character, watching Travis realize what was going on was AWESOME.
The whole "going back to Kamordah" convo is WILD once its revealed that Fjord grew up orphaned on the streets of Port Damali. His emotional maturity really shines because he realizes that a blood family means something very different to Beau than it does to him, and he's trying to account for that while gently pushing her to move past these issues to potentially save their lives. He's not telling her to "get over it", he's just trying to buy her more time/another chance with them. Even bringing up her little brother and introducing the idea he's an "innocent" in all this, just putting things into a new perspective for her.
I just want to point out, as Tracy, she'd still be in Cobalt sol robes, with a staff on her back.
dont forget that beau's always rocking a top knot
I like to imagine that beau gave fjord the staff to hold.
Her robes are reversible she has the cobolt soul ones and then plain brown ones
Yes but a person with low self-esteem that has an attractive person talking to him will not see details like that. Ape brain goes on at prospective mate.
@@blowingblockz1346 although she said she took out her hair. So basically just Beau with long hair, in Cobalt robes lmao.
Only thing I wish was here is the conversation with Rini "am I being condescended to?" "Absolutely." "Do you want it?" "Yes, thank you."
Beau's arc has been my favourite for a few reasons this campaign, i knew Fjord was instrumental to that but this really highlights how much :) bravo to these guys
I SCROLLED THROUGH ALL THE COMMENTS AND NOT 1 MENTIONED,
How Beau promised to punch The Traveler when she see them again!?!
....they about to be at Traveler Con....
I want to see the Traveler appear and start to give a nice speech and be grand and powerful, off to the side, Beau is in the air, mid jump, about to punch him across the face.
@@shadowman2240 Oh god he would kill her instantly, Don't Fuck With Arch Fey
I like how this comment is 4 months old and they’re just getting to traveller con now 😂
She did it
@@FoxHound-ut1hu That backfired on him didn't it? Arch Fey with god complex gets his shit pushed in by literal gods so now he just sulks invisibly around the M9
I do have to say it’s so neat to see the incremental shifts in beau over time, as she really does work to take in fjords advice and improves at it. Acting out your character’s personality in one scene is cool, but being able to layer the complexities of a character that changes over time like that Is really impressive to do so effortlessly. It’s something I always struggled with as a player.
Beau: gets new tattoo
Fjord: *smack*
10:00 I can't wait for Matt to make a call back to Marpaul when the gang is in Nicodranis, would be hilarious to see the reaction when an excited "TRACEY" gets called out as they are by the docks during a stealth bit.
Travis and marishas expressions while watching the ruby of the sea are awesome. They play off eachother really well
When all else fails, whatever ships may come or go, we will always have the Brjeaus.
The bro handshake at 28:07 is the greatest thing I've ever seen, I love these siblings
11:08 Travis' shirt reminds me how Fjorgetful he could be.
@20:55
i think this is my favourite interaction between the two solely because beau has no idea where they are and fjord knows that... HOWEVER, even while sleeping beau managed to keep the ship on course and not actually run into anything
This video shows exactly why I get excited when Fjord and Beau are together
Every lesbian needs a Himbo friend
The harem route only works if all members like each other. Jester’s getting it set up real nicely. Her parents will be proud.
This is my second-favorite dynamic at this table. Love the Bjreaus
So what's your favourite? Caleb and Nott?
@@rarazalproductions519 yeah, pretty much
I love that whenever the team does something really dark or something gruesome they regret, Caleb just isn't bothered. It reflects his conditioning in the academy, he's done much worse things for much less.
I want to be one of the many to say that you are a goddess amongst men through this weird time in the world. Thank you for putting in all this work for other people to enjoy. I hope the Traveler, Sarenrae, Melora, and even Uk'atoa bless you with good tidings and love
You included Uk'atoa but not the Storm Lord? Blasphemy!
Uk'otoa, uk'otoa, uk'otoa...
20:55 a pretty funny improv moment from Marisha that I forgot about after Beau just became first mate.
Beau and Fjord have the most fascinating two-sided mentor/mentee relationship, and I am LIVING FOR IT!
God this makes me so happy! I would love the friendships Beau has, Fjord and Caleb are like the best big brothers for her :)
I feel like caleb acts a little bit more like a younger brother to her. His quiet "dont go" hurt my soul. I kinda prefer to think of it like that cuz beau having both of those relationships is so good for her after being rejected by her real family, plus orphan fjord and "i killed my whole family" caleb
I want a gif of, "It's been a day." "IT's been a FUCKING day."
I know that fans feel a strong connection to C1 characters, but I feel like the party members in C2 interact way more positively with each other. This feels like a real group of friends rather than adventurers that tolerate each other.
But man...what are their mother's names?
Leonidasatom well they know everyones mothers name except for fjord, yasha, and molly. Fjord is an orphan, yasha is also an orphan(?)(maker). Molly doesnt remember who he is.
Adventurers that tolerated each other? They were family! We just missed the beginning development, because we were introduced to them after they were already close.
@@Levsa399 Most of the party hardly ever interacted with grog, same with keyleth the few times she was allowed to talk, the girls interactions with scanlan usually boiled down to "you're gross". I understand that in the story they're supposed to be family, but in terms of table talk there were a lot of lines drawn. I think the cast has grown a lot since C1 and it shows in how generous and open they are with RP in C2.
@@errorcopythat
This is it, Fjord and Beau are my ride or die ship this campaign. Best Bromance ever! Their partner bull shit is the best thing ever.
idk i always feel super proud when beau asks fjord for help on how to be nice, like yeah! you don't have to figure it out alone! yeah! you should try to be better! yeah!!!!
27:48 I am
d e c e a s e d
"Tiramisu of confusion" is a phrase that comes along only once in a lifetime.
Still my favorite dynamic in the M9. Fjord/Molly’s stuff was great while it lasted, but Fjord/Beau is just the best.
God I always find it so funny how at 44:29 Travis's arms are so big compared to Marisha's and I can't get over the fact that in the story, what Essek sees is basically the opposite with Fjord and Beau.
Zhelezzo Matt getting turned down by his wife playing "Tracy" is hilarious
28:07 is my favourite part 😂
53:36 also like this part 😂
38:50 is also good 😂
19:52 is also good :)
20:54 :')
The fjord Beau Caleb dynamic is peak energy
I so want to see Beau animated now, just to see her attempts at genuine emotion.
I love their honesty with each other.
Fjord only had a 7 for Wisdom, and it made for only a few moments, but those moments were very touching. i know this show is largely improv, but watching these clips together, and thinking on the personal journey he goes on with Caduceus as his sort-of guide, it makes it all feel fated.
20:50 "Towards our destiny!!" One of the best parts! 😂
This is the compilation I needed in my life today.
20:50 "Towards our destiny!!" One of the best parts! 😂
I’m only 20 minutes in but this is pure serotonin
The whole chunk of the recent live show (starting at 58:15) is SOLID GOLD.
7:00 Vaxleth is history from here on out
As players whose characters who had the most iron clad relationship in cr 1, marisha and caleb are so awkward and anti touchy in this one its amazing
It’s crazy seeing the amount of progress and growth each character has made since Campaign 2 started. I love the M9 so much
Beau getting high and having Fjord drag her around is pretty much every stoner with there sober friend who has never seen someone high
56:23 you can see the fear in Fjord’s eyes
Finished C2 a few months ago and Fjord and Beau were such a joy to watch. Bro energy all throughout.
The entire top table has great sibling vibes
Ah, my favourite siblings
I love this. I love this so much. I adore Beau and Fjord's relationship and their sibling energy.
58:14 start of a legendary adventure 😂
i never noticed how much fjord and beau have poppy and david energy from mythic quest
The Big brother energy is real
Has anyone noticed that Fjord advises Beau on her anger kind of like Grog did Keyleth?
?.... off the top of my head i can only recall one occasion with Raishon(?) where Grog tells Keyleth to be patient..other than that Grog just rage and hit..Fjord and Beau is an on going growth friendship/bond that develops..just my take
