Well to be fair he knew that question was coming. They had asked Brennan that question at least twice before, so he probably prepped for that question. Obviously he improvised everything else but he knew that if Kristin still had that question her character arc wouldn’t be completed.
Ally constantly nat20's and rocks Brennan. Look up "Ally ruins Brennan's campaign". Its some soft spoilers for unsleeping city season 2, but its pretty great.
“you mortal beings are the instrument by which the universe cares” is such a raw line. i’m using that in response to “the world is a cruel place, get over it”
I think it was Neil deGrasse Tyson who said, "we are the means by which the universe is aware of itself" and/or "we are one way in which the universe can observe itself" or words to those effects.
"And for me to know even a single DAY of love is a gift that I never thought I would be lucky enough to have, and I will not squander it hoping for more." Duuuude, the tears that prick my eyes with that line...
honorable mention to aabria because she facilitated 2/3 of these. i know going into an aabria campaign that i’m gonna cry at least once if not multiple times.
The point when Evan holds out his wand to the rest of the Pilot Program, and gutturally cries "look at this! This is what's on the inside and it takes so much just to cover this up" I cry every time without fail
THE ENTIRE RUEHOB ROMANCE IN ACOFAF LITERALLY HAD ME. LIKE DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON IT. "and in that moment he knows himself to be a coward"? SCREAMING. "but i have! i have known happiness!... and i will not squader it hoping for more! i will not spoil it hoping for more"? ON THE FLOOR IN TEARS. "if you are orphaned so am i... you will never know a lonely day again"? CALLING MY THERAPIST. BRENNAN IS A MASTER. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
Not to mention they had so fucking much working against them the whole season and they still pulled it out right at the end like that ship is so GOOD ugh
@britnicox3929 I know!!! so much against them, so much heartbreak and miscommunication and they STILL pulled through. it's incredible and makes me cry every time I think about it
god damn, i respect your creativity by not including a crown of candy, which has 18 tearfests per moment (affectionate). mismag might be my favorite arc of all time, and im glad to see its name getting some honor
@@jennyhughey7557 I'm halfway through ep 7. I've rewatched mismag twice and half of acofaf in-between ACOC because it's So Much. I'll get there eventually lmao
The 2nd one makes me weep every time... "for me to have known even a single day of love is a gift that I never thought I would be lucky enough to have, and I will not squander it hoping for more." For the same reason as when the Neverafter wolf made me cry: "Every time you begin a story you make the promise of its ending, and only strange and dangerous things try to make a story that never ends"
Damn, I haven't seen much of Brennan in TTRPG shows, but this 5-minute video made me cry and immediately go looking for more. The way he speaks with such eloquence and emotional richness while inhabiting a character in largely improvised scenes is just stunning.
One that made me cry pretty hard was "lift your wands up; one of these things is not like the other." I resonate with that scene extremely hard, as someone with self-worth issues and medical frailty that..basically my whole family has to work around..but we make it work! And I'm glad Evan Kelmp taught me that people don't keep me around because they're obligated to; they keep me around because they like me. Thank you for existing, Brennan.
that first one is very much the philosophy i've come to believe in. i wasn't raised religiously, but i do think i believe in a sort of higher power, or at least some kind of greater purpose. and he worded that better than i've ever been able to, with "if you choose to care, the universe cares". it's so simple but it feels right.
Oh funny it was thanks to Hobb that I was able to cry yesterday after a month of trying to release all my frustration at the thought that I will never be loved by the one I love, but I still feel so grateful to be able to fall in love and actually not be fully rejected by the person, to find joy with them even
I think it's telling how much it hurts Nurse Stitchknit to tell Evan that things AREN'T fair. He, probably more than near anyone else at Gowpenny, wants the universe to be fair, because Evan deserves it. Because K deserves it, because Sam and Jammer deserve it, because ALL the good people in the world, who do their best to put a little good in the world, to make it a better place, deserve to live in a world that is fair.
"You are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. And if you don't, then it doesn't." That's it. Pack it up. That is the greatest line of this generation. See you in a hundred years for the next greatest line.
The first half had me crying. Good choice. the Rest also Had me crying.... G-Good....choice... Oh God...Oh heavens above, unthinking or meticulous...All We have is each other...oh god...please...help us to remember...Please help us...
I always aspire to dm a game with the boys but then I watch Brennan DM and I lose heart because I know I can never hold a candle to a man like this despite all the prep work and research I put into it
Brennan's 4 episode Calamity arc on crit role was the best d&d I've ever seen... but there will always be people who are better than us at everything we do in life. It doesn't make our efforts any less important. DM your game. Make it the best game you can with your own talents. Your people will appreciate it. And you may shock yourself how good you can actually be, especially with shining examples like this to pull inspiration from.
There is someone better than you at everything you do. I don't not cook dinner because I'm not the greatest chef on earth :) Playing D&D is so much more fun than watching people play D&D that you don't have to be the same as Brennan to still have a great time.
3:08 This kind of conversation has always been one of my biggest pet peeves in life: When you tell someone that something isn't fair, and they respond "life isn't fair", but they're the one ENFORCING THE UNFAIRNESS. If you have the power and authority to change things, and there are no consequences for you making an exception, don't tell me life isn't fair like it's a real answer.
My personal three are all from Intrepid Heroes seasons: The Met Museum of Memories in the episode Hall of Heroes TUC1, Gorgugs trial (but also the episode in general) in Fearful Symmetry from D20 Live, and The Ellis Island bit in the episode History Checks and Lost Dex from TUC2. Note how Kingston Brown is two of those
@@mushroompoet I dont cry too often when consuming media on my own (i cry when im watching something with another person), and so far, the piece of media with the most exceptions to that has been Dimension 20. Im sure i'll have more moments like that, though, bc ive mostly watched the intrepid heroes seasons so far, and havent gotten too far with sidequests. Its a powerful show, at least
Crap... That hit differently than anticipated. Just sitting here doing more work after work with some highlight stuff in the background and this comes on... Shit.
Can someone explain to me, and MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR MISFITS AND MAGIC, why Evan Kelmp can't have his cake and eat it too? I thought it was contrived as a way of making the m-words fail; the revelation that there is nothing inherently magical about a wizard (that anyone can do magic) seems to imply that Evan post-operation would also be able to do magic, right? Removing the demons might make him less powerful or whatever, but there isn't anything special about wizards that he'd be losing because there is nothing special about wizards and I assume pink nurse knows that. It's a great turning point in the plot and I love it to death but it's been bugging me since my second watchthrough...
Well, the way I understand it, it's more of a Rules Thing than anything. They all signed a contract saying that if they forgo their magical education, they'd have their memories wiped (cause that would be a failure of the pilot program and therefore "prove the wizards should keep magic to themselves".) So Nurse Stitchnit isn't thinking about Evan being magical and therefore being able to stay in the school, he's thinking about the bureaucracy and politics, and Evan having to go back to Iowa regardless. So like, instead of "Welp, he's not magical anymore, bye-bye", he's thinking "If Evan becomes non-magical, the school won't *let* him stay because the program will have been considered a failure." (Sorry if that was an over- explanation, I'm just not sure if this is coherent)
@@sugarqbs I think it's actually a really good illustration of how even sympathetic folks in fucked up systems can get it so badly wrong sometimes. Like, how many rules has Stitchnit bent before? How many curses just got undone because someone's parent was an important wizard? No questions, no consequences, just the price of doing business. And I'm sure for Stitch it was a "One for them, one for us" kind of thing. But *they* (the powerful and privileged) don't need any more, so every time you bargain into that, you're just feeding the beast. Evan was heartbreakingly real. I resonated more with Jammer and Sam, but Goddamn did Mr. KelMP make me feel feels
Hi! This are clips from a show called 'Dimension 20'. It's a show where a group gets together to play D&D (Dungeons & Dragons). You can get some more context on the show by searching 'Dimension 20' on youtube! it's a great show, and I definitely recommend it :)

I am a therapist and I use the line about the universe sometimes with clients.
I can't believe Ally rolled a nat 20 so hard that Brennan had to riff off an answer to one of the oldest questions in the universe
IT'S SO TRUE THOUGH
Well to be fair he knew that question was coming. They had asked Brennan that question at least twice before, so he probably prepped for that question. Obviously he improvised everything else but he knew that if Kristin still had that question her character arc wouldn’t be completed.
@@braydenswinhart brennan wouldve asked that to himself ages ago he had his answer ready
@@braydenswinhart he was a philosophy major. has probably written thirty essays about that topic alone
Ally constantly nat20's and rocks Brennan. Look up "Ally ruins Brennan's campaign". Its some soft spoilers for unsleeping city season 2, but its pretty great.
“you mortal beings are the instrument by which the universe cares” is such a raw line. i’m using that in response to “the world is a cruel place, get over it”
To this day, I feel Brennan should be in history books for that line.
"The fact that we're still here at all is a testament to our faith in one another"
I think it was Neil deGrasse Tyson who said, "we are the means by which the universe is aware of itself" and/or "we are one way in which the universe can observe itself" or words to those effects.
mortal begins
Reminds me of an Alan Watts quote, which is quite a compliment:
"You are the fabric of the universe experiencing itself."
knowing that brennan is a philosophy major makes soooo much more sense now lmao
He’s making sure to use his education to its fullest potential
ohhhh 😭😭
THIS EXPLAINS. SO MUCH.
Chaotic good philosophy major
"And for me to know even a single DAY of love is a gift that I never thought I would be lucky enough to have, and I will not squander it hoping for more." Duuuude, the tears that prick my eyes with that line...
honorable mention to aabria because she facilitated 2/3 of these. i know going into an aabria campaign that i’m gonna cry at least once if not multiple times.
oh abso-fucking-lutely! love Aabria with my whole heart
Aabria is SO good at creating boss battles that involve zero combat
@@z-beeblebrox she is the boss and you can never truly defeat her
Matt Mercer, Brennan Lee-Mulligan and Aabria Iyengar are the three juggernauts of DMing.
Like I really was not expecting at all to get chocked up during the last Fey ep but god she really got me when she said the title of the episode
The point when Evan holds out his wand to the rest of the Pilot Program, and gutturally cries "look at this! This is what's on the inside and it takes so much just to cover this up" I cry every time without fail
"It was beautiful for what its was". Hit too deep
Jawbones "you're easy to love". Ahh that whole scene made me cry so much
I love how Brennan is so kind and compassionate yet also so chaotic and almost effortlessly hilarious. He seems like a wonderful person to be around.
Earth shattering. This man holds a special type of magic.

Literally the best DM and player any D&D fan could ever ask for

so many evan scenes bring me to tears
so accurate. he is incredible.
How does he do all of this entirely off the cuff???? Holy shit
just finished the deadeye arc of NADDPOD and theres some scenes from that that should be added into this compilation. brennan is too good
Brennan made me cry 10 times in just Calamity alone.
Calamity was heart-rendingly beautiful.
"You are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. And if you don't, then it doesn't."
That's it. Pack it up. That is the greatest line of this generation. See you in a hundred years for the next greatest line.
first time i watched the last clip there were tears in my eyes the entire time and i couldnt concentrate because i was so focused on not crying
Brennan can't escape Shirtgate
straight up didn't even notice that when I made this!
When he says "it's just not worth it" all I can hear is "I'M just not worth it"
The first half had me crying. Good choice.
the Rest also Had me crying....
G-Good....choice...

You can only be a second tier Brennan but you can always be a first tier you. Have faith in that.
