the fact that murph confirmed that emily, while going home from an episode specifically during sophomore year would sit there and physically worry about him literally KILLS ME
That is an interesting point because look back to how it started. He was an absolute prick to Fig for something that wasn't her fault. I was 100% on board with writing him off as that guy forever but then he started a shift (admittedly fast) towards the Gilear we know and love. I imagine it being Brennan helped to sell it as well as he did but still.
I will *never* get over Gilear bumbling his way into becoming the hen-pecked (not even by her) pet of one of the most *badass* women in all of Solace. Woman is at her husband's funeral, sees this pathetic mess of a man and is just like "Oh, I *have* to have him."
The law of improv dictates that Gilear began as a slightly sad wood elf and ends as a dude that ends up stuck under a van's wheel well with an apple in his mouth for several days as a result of his own incompetence.
@@SweetPeaPD I'm with Gilear on this one, why escape the inevitable conclusion and worry about it. Instead just get it over with and come to terms with being in the wheel.
Can't wait for Gilear to get the life he deserves. A good job, a nice car, a luxury yogurt subscription that comes with a little pot of honey. On an unrelated note his car engine IS filled with bees..
Gilear: "Ash I wash shtarting up my honey-fueled car thish morning, I musht have accidently shaken the queen from her chambersh and she shent a bee sh.w.a.t. team to attack me and now my face hash shwollen to about twice the shize it should be." XD
When you realize if Fig hadn't made Gilear change all his clothes that he might've gotten there before Jawbone, and that they werent being picky in who they were gonna hire.
As a DM I’m gonna say, probably not. Jawbone as the guidance counselor is a much funnier choice, especially when it also turns out that Jawbone is good at the job.
@@emilysmith2965 certainly; it wouldn't have influenced the result that Brennan would have given for that interaction, however within the context of the fiction it's more tragic to think that hypothetically Gilear could have gotten it if he'd just arrived earlier
Say what u will about Gilear, but remember in episode 2 when it's revealed that Doreen makes tots for herself only? You bet your ass Gilear saw the tots and said "these kids need their tater tots." And like a fucken Chad he heated them up for them. 100% realest Lunch Lad
I'm just trying to imagine what Gilear looks like eating yogurt. Just staring off into the distance with a defeated look as he slowly, gently lifts the spoon towards his mouth - only for a good bit hanging precariously off the end to fall directly onto his shirt. Gilear, however, is too preoccupied to notice as he looks into his neighbor's window where he can barely make out what's on the TV, half the screen blocked by a very large, very hairy orc sitting on a LayZBoy. Gilear doesn't have a TV of his own, and for now the orc is watching his favorite halfling show host's cooking segment where - oh, nevermind, he changed it to flying monstertruck bash. That's... fine. Gilear can focus back on his yogurt for now. Ohh, there's nothing on his spoon. Did he take a bite without noticing? Oh, how... unlike him.
omg love Gilear but also am also loving Fabian's mom... "I'll kill you first; it's not up to you." ... Fabian's family seems so bittersweet in the best way possible. Also, can you pretty please make a compilation of Bill Seacaster/Seacaster family?
Honestly she's a great "o I'm dope I'm just drunk as hell rn" character, feels fully earned when the PCs are shocked to learn she's a better swordswoman than Bill
I do love the genuine character development between Fig and Gilear. She realized that she treated him like garbage and wants to connect as a family again. Gilear also made huge mistakes. When he said “That demon is not my daughter” it was the thing that tore the relationship. But she comes to see what he had to go through and learns to forgive him. He sacrificed an amazing career working with the elven government to be a father. And he was happy with that. He thought he found the women he loved and wanted to spend his eternity with. Only to find out that it was a lie.
*Fabian attempt a sneak attack on Gilear* *Coming out of nowhere a swift rapier strikes Fabian's dagger and it flies to the ceiling* "You have been disarmed son, now leave Gilear alone, we are going on a date tonight" "But mama..."
@@aughhhhh8304 you know what, it's kind of poetic in a way because Gortholax's domain in heaven and hell relates to food and Gilear is constantly consuming yoghurt and failing to get it all in his mouth. (Incidentally I almost called him a yoghurt junkie because his yoghurt consumption verges on an actual addiction but I quickly realised that the term sounds like something else 😂)
People! People! Please gather around, and let us all pray to the glorious Dungeon Master, Brennan Lee Mulligan in the hopes that he will grace us with a campaign, even if it's just a one-off, featuring the endearingly pathetic Gilear.
I want them to journey to an alternate world where Gilear is really hot shit, im talking either legendary hero, or perhaps some sort of supreme overlord.
1:39 I realize now that Brennan was giving big clues about the crystals thing but everyone was just laughing and didn't think it was important. And he actually does that so many times about all different things, but just gets interrupted by a perception check or a different question
At that timestamp upon first viewing the episode, I assumed Gilear was overblowing the importance of the position or outright lying about it. I haven't seen season 2 yet so I don't know if these clues are relevant in the future. But it might be?? Hmm!
Actually, gliear (although questionable) is a good role model to them, I mean he's resilient and he keeps getting up*even if most of them were Revivify.
I have no idea what this is, but I am absolutely DELIGHTED that this has come across my feed. I haven't had this many awkward laughs since i graduated from highschool.
I also love that Brennan was definitely going to add more to the scene where they find Gilear in his apartment with empty yogurt cups, but everyone else reacted so strongly to the yogurt that Brennan just went “well fuck whatever else I was gunna say. Guess Gilears the yogurt guy now”
I got one of my friends into Fantasy High and he just started a colony management game. One of the members is a sad elf and he named him Gilear. Gilear managed to work his ass off enough to learn a new skill, and my friend said "is Athlete's Foot a skill?"
we’ve never really had a conversation about what kind of yoghurt gilear eats. my guess is completely plain and he doesn’t add any sugar or flavourings offered he just. eats it
Every time Gilear opens his mouth, it' s like a brand new tragedy is unfolding before me.
He's so sad that a totally unprompted speech about having foot fungus is what he does on a nat 20 Charisma check.
@@AnEnemySpy456 he has a -2 to charisma and that destroys me
@@FraiserBlaze “i know a really good, very charismatic elf…”
You can see the moment in Brennan's eyes when he decides that yes Gilear IS going to be the Lunch Lad lol
Lunch DAD?
Gilear: I don't like lunch lad
Brennan: _L U N C H L A D_
Begins at 3:04
Lunch lad is the best of lads, no one will ever surpass his laddy greatness
"Mm, this yoghurt tastes just like potatoes."
"...that's potatoes."
"...hmm?"
Cracks me up every. single. time.
That scene gave me the headcanon that Gilear eats regular food, he just thinks all of it is yogurt
Another own-goal for Gilear Feyth
@@DeathnoteBBwell outside of the plate cheese of course

@@joshm977 there's a TH-cam video called why gilear is integral
The unfocused, dead-eyed stare that Brennan gets whenever he's doing Gilear just kills me.
All life has to leave Brennan just to get him down to the pit of despair that is the happiest moment of Gilear’s life.
@@TheEvilMrJeb I feel that way too deep in my soul.
Gilear : “I am not the messiah.”
The bad kids : “HE IS THE MESSIAH!”
This so underrated
he does have the Biggest Schlong, so it's fully deserved
But literally
The thing I love about Gilear is that he genuinely loves Fig and wants nothing but the best for her despite how sad he is.
“I HAVE NO PRIDE!!” If you know you know 😂
@@DuncanDisordelyHe’s got a massive hog though 😂

@@Blasted2Oblivion I always saw it as realistic. He said some things in a blow up, meaning to hurt his wife but accidently hurt his child instead.
@@emilylewis5373 That's actually a really good point I hadn't considered.

He is the chosen one
His comedic misery sustains her, and i'm loving it.

Gilear is gonna roll a NAT20 one of these day and “United States of Yogurt” someone into the ground and I’M JUST WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPAN
@@KumaoftheForest just wait until you see the finale of season 2!
gilear is a source of comic relief but i love how down for him Fig is throughout the series an even into the live show
One of my favorite parts of TH-cam is seeing people I'm subscribed to watching the same content as me!
@@thefamouscommenter same
It’s both wild and great to see someone I’m subscribed to in the comments of something like D20
I have never seen one of your videos but I swear I see your comments on almost everything I watch. Might have to start watching your content. Lol

The law of improv dictates that Gilear began as a slightly sad wood elf and ends as a dude that ends up stuck under a van's wheel well with an apple in his mouth for several days as a result of his own incompetence.
I think Gilear is a high elf, Sandra Lynn is a wood elf
@@DeathnoteBB nah they are both wood elves, but Gilear was a cultural ambassador for Fallinel so he got that aristocratic air to him
And then soils himself after being under there for only a couple of hours ‘not in a pathetic way’ 😭😭😭
@@SweetPeaPD I'm with Gilear on this one, why escape the inevitable conclusion and worry about it. Instead just get it over with and come to terms with being in the wheel.

Lunch Lord of Lads.

Luxury yoghurt subscription 😂
the most charismatic thing that Gilear is capable of is leaving
can I also say it took him both a nat 20 and a bardic inspiration dice to get there
Gilear isn't the stepdad, he's the dad that stepped up.
"I shall repay you as only a father can - in love, and if you want, yogurt."
10:25 “This is a 20?” what everyone was thinking.
Even on a nat 20 charisma check Gilear is still incredibly sad
This man somehow rolls LIFE with disadvantage
Rolled a nat 20 cha check with a -19 modifier lmao
Okay but on the flip side, hes functionally immune to Detect Thoughts.
I love how Fig went from 'You're not my dad!' to 'Fuck yeah, that's one of my dad's!'
When you realize if Fig hadn't made Gilear change all his clothes that he might've gotten there before Jawbone, and that they werent being picky in who they were gonna hire.

Gilear gets so much better in Sophmore year. The poor poor man. #ChosenOne
He is the night yorb

Don't worry, I'm getting to that.
I can’t express how much I love how Brennan says “Jawbone” at 7:56
Jauhbown 😂
Emily's love for gilear is genuinely my favourite part of the show and one of my favourite things I've seen in DnD
he totally unknowingly made THE best npc
The fact Brennan keeps trying to kill him off and the party won’t let him
And then we were gifted with Plug of Plugs butt ugly stuff hut ❤
I want them to journey to an alternate world where Gilear is really hot shit, im talking either legendary hero, or perhaps some sort of supreme overlord.
sophomore year
AU where Gilear was secretly Kalvaxus
where he never left as a advisor and rose through the ranks and became the evil dictator of Spyre
But he STILL talks like this tho
How did we miss the beautiful Gilear moment when the Thistlesprings are trying to cheer him up??
I just need a compilation of every single gilear moment in the series one after another. what dark god do I have to pray to to get CH to do this thing

Gilear is living in someone elses world and he knows and fears it
I feel like season 2 is either gonna get real good for Gilear or real tragic
Tragic
Lets just say that if you had to choose between a kobold and Gilear as a fighting partner you’d have a higher chance of victory with the kobold.
in his case, tragic is the best possible outcome
It's somehow both
definitely both
I love Gilear because Brennan loves to challenge stereotypes. Gilear, the Cubbys, and etc.
Any scene with Gilear is instantly 1000x better
the way lou/fabian reacts to his mother and gilear at 11:55 will always be so funny to me lmao
Gilear is so unbelievably funny and sad all at once that it unlocks levels of comedy I don't think are even possible
Gilear is so pathetic you just can't help but feel bad for him and adore him
The best thing about fantasy high live is we get more content from sad elf dad
I dont watch this show but now I am fully invested in this character
Gilear is a likable Jerry Smith
This yogurt tastes just like potatoes!
I have no idea what this is, but I am absolutely DELIGHTED that this has come across my feed. I haven't had this many awkward laughs since i graduated from highschool.
It's Fantasy High, and the character is Gilear, arguably the saddest elf ever but arguably one of the most lovable NPCs
never meet another man like bill....
I cannot wait for Fantasy High to continue on Twitch just so we can get more Gilear goodness.

Thank you for this
i love that gilear became so beloved that emily the full person started worrying about him after one of the episodes in sophomore year

I hate that i relate to Gilear so much.
I like how a Nat 1 save vs Detect Thoughts just reveals that Gilear has the perfect defense against Detect Thoughts.
I been waiting for something like this, thank u for my lyfe
so....pretty sure gilear's irons in the fire bastion city crystal company is itself a clue.
12:21 i love her "its not up to you"

Gilear saying "Sklonda, I..." lives in my head rent free
Poor Gilear can do literally anything and we'll all die laughing
I read the title of the video and went, “oh, so it’s just all of fantasy high!”
If you listen to his other job "options" I'm pretty sure he had an opportunity with kvx. Something something crystals

Honestly fantasy high is still my favourite.
"I raised this young woman and I hate this..."
