🚨SPOILERS FOR FANTASY HIGH SOPHOMORE YEAR!!!🚨

Dimension20 "Fantasy High Sophomore Year"

Episode 10 "The Dangerous Mind of Aelwyn Abernant"

Timestamp: 01:21:17

Video Length: 5min.

Kristen tries to use her ribbon dancer to FLY (Fall) out of a WINDOW to get to the first floor before Angwyn does! 😂🤣💀 (With Kristen's MINUS THREE to DEX! 😂🤣💀)

My favorite quotes from this scene!:

1. "Wait, you're just gonna jump out the window of the tower?" (Murph's DM brain IMMEDIATELY kicking in with "This is the STUPIDEST idea I've EVER heard!" 😂🤣💀 Fully in DENIAL that those words just came out of Ally's mouth 😂🤣💀)

2. "I'm gonna allow this to happen. Hey, Ally, I'm gonna allow this to happen." (Brennan's way of saying "CONSEQUENCES ARE COMING!" 😂💀)

3. "No no no no no no no no no no oh no no no. We like to ask Brennan for cool things to happen." (💀💀💀)

4. "[All] Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump" (Bruh! THEY are CHANTING for Kristen to JUMP 10 STORIES?! 😭✋ This here proves that they ARE the bad kids fr your honor! 😭✋)

5. "Now, I want, Ally, I want you to look at me, and you tell me, do you feel like a 14 is a high enough roll for your character to be able to use a dance ribbon to fly? Bearing in MIND, that if I say YES, that IF I say yes NOW, I have to say yes every other time you want to do this." (I LOVE how Brennan is just trying to give Ally the DM brain and being like "Think about this in terms of the DM Perspective! 😂🤣💀 And the fact that Ally STILL tried to be like 'yeah definitely! It's above average! 😂😂🤣🤣💀💀 I LOVE them so much! 😂😂✋✋)

6. "Don't pay attention to THIS noise!" *Takes out thousands of dice* (Brennan full-on just SMILING SO WIDE when that sound happens! 😭✋)

7. "See, you let Indiana Jones do it, and that's sexist. No one respects femininity in this country." (😂🤣 I JUST LOVE THIS QUOTE!)

8. "You Ally'd out of the Box of Doom, across my lap!" (Using "Ally" as a verb for dropping dice. 💯 10/10!)

⭐9. "So, what happens is this, Kristen, you were like, you were like, I have got to get to the first floor before Angwyn. I have GREAT news. You make it to the first floor WAAAAY before Angwyn does" (Welp! You GOT what you asked for! 😂🤣💀... somewhat)⭐ [My FAVORITE quote of this scene! 😂 Just the way Brennan says "YOU GET THERE WAY BEFORE ANGWYN!" 😂 Is SO FUNNY TO ME! 😂🤣 Like- You got your WISH! Oh...whoops! You have 3 hit points left. 😂🤣💀 This move legit was 3 points away from killing Kristen! 😭✋)

10. "Can we say the ribbon wraps around me, and makes sort of a cushion?" (Ally trying to make the consequence not as bad! 😂🤣💀)

11. "Ooh, I was stress eating celery in that moment. That was crazy." (Poor Lou! 😂🤣💀)

12. "It's so funny how often you try to jump on things with the worst Dex I have ever seen." (😂😂 Kristen likes to jump!!)

I love how Lou immediately goes to back-up Ally when Ally says that they wouldn't understand what "getting into dance" means and Fabian is totally understanding of it! 😂🤣💀

u ever just think abt "will you be my big sister, i would really really love to have you as a big sister" and start crying

something about adaine's father giving her a giant, perfectly round orb and then adaine continuing to summon a perfectly round familiar, a perfectly round dog that means something but i can't articulate it right now

[parksnark]

Your father hurt you and your sister and no matter what anyone fucking thinks about it, guess what? He never gets to hurt anyone again.

Fig and Adaine

[honeybard]

there has never been a dnd move quite as bonkers as kristen "negative three dex" applebees jumping out of a window and trying to cartoon logic style fly down a 10 story tower with a ribbon dance

[bog-owl-riel]

no because people say gilear is the worst dad in fantasy high as if he doesnt apologize to fig in the first episode of fantasy high for saying things he didnt mean and only said out of anger and shock. yes, he was absolutely in the wrong for that, but he spends the entire run of both seasons of fantasy high trying to make it up to fig and in the end, TELLS FIG he wants to be better FOR HER and she’s so appreciative of it! they literally reconcile and have a good relationship at the end of sophomore year.

meanwhile, on the tip of the iceberg, angwyn constantly pits the abernant sisters against each other, he tortures aelwyn by not letting her trance for a year and breaking her mind from exhaustion, tried brainwashing adaine to be the perfect daughter and oracle, and ultimately tried to kill both of them when they didn’t comply??? i’d venture to say he’s the fucking worst, wouldn’t you??

i just don’t get why fans are so needlessly mean about gilear when his whole character is just being Some Guy that keeps getting thrown into insane situations (but he helps anyway!) and his whole entire arc is him trying to better himself, which he DOES.

adaine has never been anything other than angry at her parents. every interaction she has with them, she is snarky and talks back and fights with them. she isn’t cowed, she refuses to back down, and she would never in any world consider being obedient.

which is why it’s interesting that aelwyn is so afraid of them. what stopped her from standing up for adaine during their childhood? fear! a cycle of fear, shame, and guilt that she was never brave enough to break through.

but of course it makes perfect sense. adaine was never anything more to her parents than a massive disappointment. she was never going to be what they wanted - by the time they realized she was maybe someone worth cultivating (the elven oracle - to them a useful political tool they could possess) adaine was years beyond wanting to please her parents.

aelwyn was raised to be the perfect elven poster child. she was molded into being a pawn in a much larger game between arianwen, kalina, and kalvaxus. she was nothing less than a perfectly obedient daughter - until sylvaire. until “adaine’s just- she’s just a baby”. and the second she showed the slightest hesitance, angwyn didn’t hesitate to try to kill her.

adaine didn’t know her parents enough to fear them, but she knew them too well to love them. aelwyn knew them enough to be afraid and too well not to love them. head in hands.

"what value does a thing have if it is given freely?” (1/2)

[deconstructthesoup]

Every single Bad Kids parent polycue combination is so fucking priceless to me. Like---

Sklonda and Gorthalax? They probably dated for a bit, jury's out on whether or not they're still together, but yeah, it sorta makes sense. Jawbone and Sandralynn? Hell yeah, makes perfect sense, two people who are both messy in their own ways but manage to balance each other out. Hallariel and Gilear? Makes zero sense at first glance but the more you think about it the more you realize that, yeah, they do kinda work.

And then we throw Garthy into the mix, who almost certainly had a fling with Bill before Bill met Hallariel, and we find out that they've not only hooked up with Sandralynn but also Jawbone. And then we get confirmation from Brennan that Sklonda and Sandralynn have hooked up (that's where Sandralynn got the Kalina virus from)! And then we get canon confirmation that the Thistlesprings, who are pretty much a package deal, are swingers, opening up the possibility to the fact that they may or may not have swung with Jawbone! Maybe even Sandralynn! And maybe even Roz and Gorbag (depending on whether or not they actually met those two when they first had Gorgug, but it's a possibility)!

And it doesn't even stop there! Because guess what, Bill and Pok are in contact across afterlives! They have monthly check-ins! Who knows what those check-ins entail! They could very well be in a long-distance relationship!

Literally the only Bad Parents who aren't involved in the parental polycue are the Applebees and the Abernants and that's because the Applebees are a Conservative Helioic Suburban Couple and the Abernants are a Stuffy Elitist Elven Couple. They're different flavors of awful but I'm willing to bet that their views on sexuality are both pretty outdated.

Adaine Abernant: "I think your house is haunted, your dad is always mad "

[smolandweirdwriter]

something about angwyn saying "I will find what is wrong with your mind and I will change it" and adaine telling him "you've been trying to do that for a very long time and I'm sorry to tell you that it has not worked" and jawbone shaking her "having panic attacks is not a character flaw" and adaine saying "this medicine is great!" and summoning a familiar and learning how to help herself and how to channel and manage her anxiety and live with it, and learning how to love herself and love her brain even though it's fucking hard but doing it anyway because "I know that my friends do love me, so maybe there is hope for us yet" so if that's enough, oh god maybe thats enough, maybe she is enough, maybe her brain is enough, is making me. feel. things.,

[birdb1tch]

thinking about how in freshman year coach daybreak quite literally tried to kill kristen to bring the apocalypse (AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS) and upon being told this her own parents turned their back on kristen and said (paraphrasing), “thats not true and you cant prove that.”

thinking about junior year where kristen’s parents SAY shes always welcome to come back anytime and in an effort to keep the peace she says “thank you, thats very kind” HER OWN PARENTS!! ITS NOT KIND, ITS THE BARE MINIMUM! but mac and donna will never see it that way, because to them they didnt fail kristen, she failed them.

ALSO thinking about adaine’s parents who so obviously had no real love for adaine until she had use as elven oracle. and even then it wasnt love, it was a power grab. parents who start a war and leave without you. parents who only cared about power to the extent that they would be angered by adaine revoking aelwyns diplomatic immunity.

arianwen who truly could not understand that adaine was talking about when she called her mother cruel, and angwyn who thought he could “fix” adaine BY CASTING LIGHTNING AT HER

anyway, big long post about the parallels between these specific Bad Parents (and literal bad parents)

[moxidi-fanarts-and-sketches]

I'm an animation student so each time i experience a non-visual media i wonder How Would I Make This As A Cartoon, which means that when i watch fantasy high i imagine it as a dropout original cartoon and wonder which cast members would be good for the npcs (it would've been funny to have brennan voice all of them but i think a bigger voice cast would be cooler), so here's my voice claims for the bad kids' families and friends:

The Abernants: maybe Matt Mercer for Angwyn?? I haven't seen cr or any of his d20 campaigns yet but when i think fantasy politics i think of him,, idk who would suit for Arianwen but for Aelwyn i picture Jess Mckenna

The Thistlesprings: both have the exact same voice and are voiced by Brennan. they are an item do not separate

The Gukgaks: hear me out on this. VIC MICHAELIS AS SKLONDA. they play the achetype of a person who tries to stay calm and competent despite all the chaos around them in vip SO well, they would nail this (vic as sklonda might be the reason i made this post). now hear me out again. Grant O'Brien for Pok. He has the exact same charismatic and elegant vibe that Pok has but also Grant "towers over everybody" O'Brien giving a monologue on how difficult it is being small would be HILARIOUS

The Faeths: Brennan should stay as Gilear bc after 3 campaigns of the bad kids dragging him everywhere, he knows how this man should sound perfectly, and for Sandra Lynn i would pick Becca Scott

I have no idea for the Seacasters (though i think Brennan could stay as Bill because of his sick pirate accent and chemistry with Lou) and the Applebees so i'm looking forward to what you guys might come up with!!!

As for non-family characters, i have:

Jacob Wysocki as Ragh: he can be big, loud and angry but also vulnerable and soft, and that's perfect for Ragh. as a bonus he also has good chemistry with Zac!! (see their msn episodes)

Rehka Shankar as Tracker: Rehka has the cool, charismatic energy that would be absolutely perfect for Tracker<3

Sam Reich as Aguefort: do i need to say more.

Josh Ruben as Johnny Spells: he would be PERFECT to capture the "80s bad boy but in an extremely loser way" aesthetic

Now hear me out again: OSCAR MONTOYA AS ALISTAIR ASH. LIKE TO CHARGE REBLOG TO CAST. let Brennan teach him how to do that accent and the Sweet Boy energy would be off the charts

That's all i could come up with, so i want to see what you guys could suggest for the rest of the npcs!!!
