I really love how, at first it’s implied that Ricky is doing the selfie thing with Esther as a way to hit on her, only for it to turn out, no, that’s just how Ricky Matsui communicates as a habit.
I can't express how much I love the shift from "you don't really need to send me a selfie every time you respond to my texts" to having a folder labelled "Ricky selfies"
I love how invested everyone at the table is when Esther is in trouble. Grown ass adults, terrified that their friend's imaginary girlfriend is going to die. It's beautiful.
I love how at the start, Ricky kept trying to make her laugh, and she kept apologizing when he succeeded because she was worried about hurting his feelings 🥺
Sinatras law, the New York minute, and the red light green light joke are just all examples to me of how Brennan will just write shit to prove a point. Like “I will find a way to make this stupid pun or joke have intense plot relevance because I CAN”
@grubbu7073 Gnosis' origin is the highlight of this bit, even with all the clever plot important pun shit he did in unsleeping, there is no joy like watching the intrepid heroes all slowly get it and brennan start dancing with unmatched joy while they boo him so hard
@@mimipeahes5848 I’ll agree that they’re relationship is lovely but remember Fig’s two relationships prior to Ayda? Not really healthy for a minor to magically catfish two grown men.
idk, I'd argue Sofia and Dale's relationship is healthy... sure they had a phase where Sofia thought Dale cheated, but that's not the fault of either of them
My favorite part, besides this whole video, is Ricky’s himbo firefighter buddies being so wholesome with him about Esther. It’s adorable. And so are they. What I’m trying to say is thank you so much for making this I love it and have wanted one for so long
god nothing will ever hurt like the scene with esther showing her mom and grandma to ricky, that was, to me, the first time i fully saw esther allow herself to show ricky something that meant a lot to her. she lived in that emotionless state for so long, and when she finally saw him accept them as a part of her life, and by extension, his life from that moment on. just wow ouchie
Okay these firefighters are amazing. Just a bunch of dudes trying to be supportive and help him out. This is the only context for “boys will be boys” that I will allow.
It's really fun to have a character who doesn't really understand much academic or intricate magical stuff because the rest of the table can sit there and listen to it being broken down into the most basic ways of understanding. Like I actually knew the word Axiom but on the other hand I had no clue wtf Sinatra's Law was referering to and getting all confused.
these two remind me of Ursula and George from George of the Jungle. Ricky and George are kind hearted, beautiful men who adore the woman they love, hang on to her every word even if they can't understand it they try and make an effort. Ester and Ursula are smart worldly women, who have big hearts and more common sense who just love their beautiful himbo
unfortunately, i don't still have that version sorry! if i had known how well this video was going to do i absolutely would have just posted the longer version 😂
@@katieedits2020 You are very welcome! Yes, Dimensions 20 is amazing. Brennan Lee Mulligan is the DM I admire to be. It's a lot of fun with friends for sure.
And considering the first thing the American Dream said while behind the door was “Start spreading the news… I’m leaving today…” could be the implication that Robert Moses was enacting on his plan that night, and the American Dream could’ve, in a warped way, been trying to warn the Vox Phantasma about his plan
Its not really mentioned but Ricky breaks a lot of tropes including the model minority trope that comes with being an asain character. Hes perfect, hot, and amazing... but not because hes a straight A genius. Hes a big himbo superman. Asian characters are not often allowed to achieve excellence in any way except academically.
I absolutely love ricky and esther. But also i love the three johns/ john³ i personally believe they are secretly just three changlings that look the same
@@katieedits2020 thank you for editing this together TT.. i'll mourn the 33m cut but i can always rewatch this.. :') thank you for cutting their love story together
I really love how, at first it’s implied that Ricky is doing the selfie thing with Esther as a way to hit on her, only for it to turn out, no, that’s just how Ricky Matsui communicates as a habit.
I mean in a way it both shows what you are doing and where you are which is helpful.
@@MeonLights right, but wouldn't the fact it's a photo from your phone kinda imply your presence there?
@@greenberry6019 Hence the "what you are doing" xD if he's a fireman in front of a burned out house I'd know he just fought a fire
@@MeonLights oh. I thought you were quoting Ricky...
I love this for the improv, if it's true he sends selfies when busy then he does it for everyone makes it so much funnier
I can't express how much I love the shift from "you don't really need to send me a selfie every time you respond to my texts" to having a folder labelled "Ricky selfies"
“What darkness lies in the heart of Ricky Matsui?!”
Ricky: … *Mii Theme intensifies*
Cody isn’t there yet

I love how invested everyone at the table is when Esther is in trouble. Grown ass adults, terrified that their friend's imaginary girlfriend is going to die. It's beautiful.
lol yeah, dnd is beautiful like that
Thank god Esther never figured out Ricky's darkest secret he wasn't always a fire fighter
just realised 'it feels good to be around you- magically speaking.' thats so cute shes trying so hard not to tell on herself.
oh my god her checking his phone and realising shes important enough to him to text. i am SO autistic i did not pick up on any of this.
@@dilsdoes I mean, I didn't until you said it, I thought it was a comment on how few people he had in his phone lol
@@_b1ack0ut4And one of them is her. That's the joke and the hint that she likes him.
I still can't get over the line "you don't even read books! Who gives a shit?! I read books all the time and I'm *miserable*!"
Yeah, she's a wizard.
I love how at the start, Ricky kept trying to make her laugh, and she kept apologizing when he succeeded because she was worried about hurting his feelings 🥺
ahh hadn't even noticed that before, thank you for pointing it out 🥺
Okay honestly the fact that nobody made an insight check on her to see if she liked Ricky back made this 1000% better.
Esther: let's live a dangerous life together
Ricky:( immediately into it) ok
a great Ricky moment
With the right safety measures in place, of course
@@eastereggggg of course, naturally 😂
@@katieedits2020 You say that as if there are any Ricky moments that aren't great. And that's just BLASPHEMY.
@@FuugaNatsu true! the reason that moment is a great Ricky moment is because every Ricky moment is a great Ricky moment 😂
The amount of Himbo energy Ricky Matsui produced that Brennan had to forcefully fight off bursting out laughing is actually an accomplishment.
The Sinatras law part is one of my favourite moments in fiction. The way Brennan used the flirting to hit that exposition point, perfection
yes!! such good storytelling!
And the pun was GOD-TIER!
Sinatras law, the New York minute, and the red light green light joke are just all examples to me of how Brennan will just write shit to prove a point. Like “I will find a way to make this stupid pun or joke have intense plot relevance because I CAN”

@@josiahklein70the sheer JOY I experienced when I realised what the pun was
Esther: There is a holiday inn about 3 blocks from here.
Ricky (immediately knowing what that means): Sure ok.
Ricky is dumb, but he isn't that dumb.
That moment when I'm pretty sure Brennan rolls to see if she accidentally grabs something other than his phone while hes driving
I'd never realised this! LMAO
Roll happens at 12:23
Emily's reaction at 12:27 kills me
What's up with Zac always having like the only healthy relationships in D20? Zelda AND Esther? Like it's so pure.
Don’t forget fig and ayda.
@@mimipeahes5848 I’ll agree that they’re relationship is lovely but remember Fig’s two relationships prior to Ayda? Not really healthy for a minor to magically catfish two grown men.
idk, I'd argue Sofia and Dale's relationship is healthy... sure they had a phase where Sofia thought Dale cheated, but that's not the fault of either of them
i mean i think that’s the entire point of fig’s romance arc in FHSY. of course it’s problematic, she has to have a place to grow from.
Rip gorgug and Zelda
bisexuality is being in love with both esther and ricky
"Let's live a dangerous life together" is literally one of the most romantic lines I've ever heard.
My favorite part, besides this whole video, is Ricky’s himbo firefighter buddies being so wholesome with him about Esther. It’s adorable. And so are they. What I’m trying to say is thank you so much for making this I love it and have wanted one for so long
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed! And I love The Johns, they're great
The scene with Esther's Grandmother and Ricky always cracks me up 🤣
same i love it 😂
It’s my favourite scene in the whole campaign! Zac and Brennan are so hilarious together
I've seen it a million times, even watched it on release, and just spat my coke knowing it was coming hahaha maybe the funnier scene in d20 history
"Don't help me!" Priceless
god nothing will ever hurt like the scene with esther showing her mom and grandma to ricky, that was, to me, the first time i fully saw esther allow herself to show ricky something that meant a lot to her. she lived in that emotionless state for so long, and when she finally saw him accept them as a part of her life, and by extension, his life from that moment on. just wow ouchie
yeah same! it's a really touching scene
Zac Oyama casually putting everyone’s bar for a partner so much higher for 2 seasons
Okay these firefighters are amazing. Just a bunch of dudes trying to be supportive and help him out. This is the only context for “boys will be boys” that I will allow.
Emily’s background expressions during most of these scenes is really the cherry on top for me
Watching Brennan flirt with Zac as Esther and Ricky. I can’t. It’s too much.
i know lol, i love it
i cannot express how needed this was
lol ikr
It's really fun to have a character who doesn't really understand much academic or intricate magical stuff because the rest of the table can sit there and listen to it being broken down into the most basic ways of understanding. Like I actually knew the word Axiom but on the other hand I had no clue wtf Sinatra's Law was referering to and getting all confused.
Ricky goes to show that being dumb isn't always unattractive
himbos, however, are always attractive
I think the reason is because Ricky genuinely wants to learn lol
It's okay to be dumb as long as you're sweet
The feeling in my body when ester was maybe going to die is like no other. I cared about her and their relationship so much
literally same
Love that you included the moment where her grandma tries to reveal the darkness, bc i adore the himbo pure guys
these two remind me of Ursula and George from George of the Jungle. Ricky and George are kind hearted, beautiful men who adore the woman they love, hang on to her every word even if they can't understand it they try and make an effort. Ester and Ursula are smart worldly women, who have big hearts and more common sense who just love their beautiful himbo
Much obliged for including the scene with John cubed.
of course! I love the Johns gotta show respect for my boys
Really appreciate the Asian male representation, bravo
I NEED the 33 minute cut. Not a want not a desire. A BASE. NEED.
unfortunately, i don't still have that version sorry! if i had known how well this video was going to do i absolutely would have just posted the longer version 😂
@@katieedits2020 The first thing to know about d20 compilations. People often do not care about the length lmao
DnD and starkid fan? Now that's a mighty combo! A person of esteemed taste. Bravo
ahh thank you so much! I would say I'm less of a dnd fan and more of a dimension 20 fan but it's helping me get into dnd more!
@@katieedits2020 You are very welcome! Yes, Dimensions 20 is amazing. Brennan Lee Mulligan is the DM I admire to be. It's a lot of fun with friends for sure.
Sonatra's Law . . . I LOVE BRENNAN, he even smiles as he says it. Because if you you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
it's truly genius
@@katieedits2020 the symbolism in this season was immaculate.

This made me so unreasonably happy
I started smiling and giggling and 🥺
THESE TWO OWN MY HEART
aww i love that, i love them too!!
100% love this!!!, chapter 2 makes this all the better, very recommended watch!!
thanks! working my way through chapter 2 rn and it's so good!!
15:55 THE MOST STRESSFUL MOMENT IN ALL CHAPTER 1
RIGHT?!
“WHAT DARKNESS LIES IN THE HEART OF RICKY MATSUI”
**nothing happens**
“DARKNESS”
Ricky: **gets closer**
“wha- no DONT HELP!”
i have been WAITING for someone to make this!! now i don’t have to scrub through the episodes like a plebeian!
mood lol
I think they are so cute shes really cool and smart and Rick is such an adorable wholesome Himbo. XD
Doing the (Brennan) L(ee Mulligan)ord's work with this, 10/10
oh my gosh this is one of the best comments I've ever received thank you so much 😂😭
We need a chapter 2 to Ricky and Esther compilation
i'll probably make one after i finish watching all of chapter 2! i've been busy lately tho so it might take a while lol
@@katieedits2020take your time! This is so incredible, I will watch it over and over for as long as it takes
@@TheLeprechaun159 that's so sweet thank you! glad you enjoy the video!

Making this was a public service bless youuuuu 🙌
just doing my civic duty 😂

that's so true actually! more reasons why he's a great character!

You are the greatest I needed this so bad

Brennan is a genius.
