I kinda feel like Murph, Riz's player, started getting into it too into season 2 (of fantasy high), it started spreading. Although he does keep a better aim....
kristen is such a god-tier example of what super-strict parenting does to a kid though - like, equating funamentalist cult secrets with eating too much sugar is such a good joke but i also know former strict kids who are Like That
apparently ally actually grew up in a fundamentalist christian family, and went to a christian college. all these jokes with kristen are probably things they've actually experienced or seen, which makes it even better imo
The fact that ally flawlessly and impulsively inserted kristen into the harvestman cult was hysterical and super smart at the same time. It worked so well with Kristens arc and added that next level intensity her character needed to really develop. It also just left Brennan baffled and was super entertaining to watch.
“I’m not _supposed to_ teach you the secret heavenly handshake... BUT I’m _also_ not supposed to eat *this much sugar! :)”* Ally knows what the fuck is up and I love them
It's funny how TTRPGs can be used in such a way to explore one's own personal issues. Like Erika Ishii stated in a podcast with Brennan that her D&D characters started dating women before she did
@A.M Sky to be fair I wrote this before Starstruck and Shriek Week, at the time my whole point was that they it was pretty evident what they were working through with each PC; a humanist, raised-religious lesbian haunted by doubt; a badass trans man with attachment issues; a soft boy that ends up finding out they are asexual and reconciling with their more innocent nature. All of them getting a wish at one point or another to (in Brennan's words) reflect the Philosophy Major in Ally. It was almost like every PC was creating the following one.
The fucking stare the DM gave Ally after what they said about sex trafficking, the fucking silence, the mouth hung open, holy shit I can't stop laughing
my favorite is when Robert Moses is attacking Pete, and Pete uses shield Brennan: Pete, this is a 9th-level spell. Ally: Uh-huh. And shield is a... cantrip.
@@ahumanthatexists1468 almost off topic but I just found 'fire shield' the spell for wizards, rogues, and fighters- and I'm just boggled by the fact that it can both be a shield _of_ fire *and* _against_ fire.
@@ahumanthatexists1468 no like- it's a fire shield- a shield of fire, meaning it protects against cold attacks, But then you can choose for it to be a 'cold' shield, causing it to be a shield that blocks fire attacks. Fire Shield - both a shield Of fire and Against fire
Yeah, they have literally two more campaigns to end her climb up the ladder. I mean, Junior year will be about the Night Yorb no doubt, but maybe senior year will be about actual gods
8:13 I can’t tell what i love most about this clip: Lou’s mic cutting out because of his hair rubbing against his sweater, Ally completely failing to catch the dice after it lands at their mouth, Zac instantly face palming the second it happens, Emily’s cackle of laughter, Siobhan’s comment, or Murph ignoring all of it because he’s so wrapped in logistics.
I read some comments of people complaining about Ally's 'method of role-playing' I suppose you could say, basically saying that they're a 'bad player'. And sure it's personal preference and they might not have the best knowledge of the game mechanics, but you can't deny that they make every effort to make choices that are character appropriate, drive the story, are based in the relationships within the group and are often incredibly funny. I just think they are neat too ;)
SEASON 1 SPOILERS I agree with you. Especially when it comes to that one instance where she says that she was raised in the Harvestmen. It definitely caught Brennan and the rest of the group off guard but I can’t help but feel like as if the story would be the same if she didn’t say that one line.
Ngl ally was kinda just my favorite cast member in fantasy high, really good at both being hilarious and meaningfully driving the plot forward. Surprised anyone could h8
Depending on the experience people are looking for yeah both Ally and Emily could be "bad players" but they are great role players. Emily is so good with making character choices. Ally is funny and plays their characters so well. I love them both. The make up of all of their seasons so far has worked well. A good balance of knowledge players, reasonable players, and absolute mad players. Also the GMs have been amazing not overly strict and letting their players play with consequences if need be.
Kristen Applebees unironically made me rethink how I make characters and the possibilities of PCs, purely because Ally is such an entrancing role player and is so fixed on character motives and home schooling- god I’d do so much for Kristen
I will never get over Ally just deciding Kristen was involved with the Harvestmen, in real time, without discussing or asking Brennan anything about it. It's such a fun and bizarre twist that definitely works even though there's no way Ally or Brennan had any way of knowing it would. It's just incredibly roleplay decisions from Ally, incredible DM adaptability from Brennan, super fun lore, and an incredible extra layer of mess to add to Kristen's arc.
one of my favorites is when the bad kids meet bill seacaster for the first time and he says something like "be there a leader among you?" and ally just points up at the sky
Kristen unloading about how she's "deep on reddit" and Gorgug raising his hand to indicate that he's listening. Love Ally and Zac so so so much, perfect angels, 12/10.
The beginning of the Harvestmen camp thing hits me so much because I was a kid who genuinely loved the teaching segments at church and is now extremely gay and mostly antitheist.
I was watching this and less then 3 minutes in a was cry laughing so hard I couldn't breathe and my mom had to check in with me to make sure I wasn't dying
Ally plays Kristen really well but I wish they'd kept the Christian girl archetype. There's just so much good material for satire in that. Kristen could've kept Helio while still renouncing the corrupt version of the faith her parents peddle. Like, "you know what, I'm not going to let you take away the thing I've loved and believed in for my entire life because you do terrible things in the name of faith." Maybe she was chosen by Helio specifically to reform the church or start a purer Helioic church. Idk, I just wanted to see more jokes about bible camp, bible study, bible stories as elementary school plays, campfire singalongs to hymns alongside Taylor Swift songs.
that probably wouldve been what happened if ally didn't switch up kristens story by the "I don't think I believe in helio" line bc brennan said it fully changed the course of the show, but also without that I can't Imagine what season 2 would've been!!
Does anyone know where I can find that clip where people are having a conversation and they just but in "where's the home Depot?" Or something like that. It made me laugh so hard when I saw it now I can't find it
Ally is my least favorite d20 cast member. Truly grinds my gears. Literally enough to come to a place that’s supposed to be supporting them and say so. Solely for that purpose alone. They only matter because the dice like them 👍
Whoever once said that Ally throws dice like they’re ripping a beyblade really enriched my life
I think it was Siobhan
I haven't been able to watch them roll dice without having that thought go through me head every time.
I kinda feel like Murph, Riz's player, started getting into it too into season 2 (of fantasy high), it started spreading. Although he does keep a better aim....
Once you hear that you're never the same
My friend you have done the same for me, thank you

Just a heads up, Ally uses they/them pronouns. Might want to edit your comment? :)

@@astralluna Oh oops! I think you're right! My mistake then, sorry!
9:24 for those who want to see this part in the video

“I’m not _supposed to_ teach you the secret heavenly handshake... BUT I’m _also_ not supposed to eat *this much sugar! :)”*
Ally knows what the fuck is up and I love them
Ally is literally roleplaying their journey with their identity through different D20 characters and the arc this one takes is very much golden
It's funny how TTRPGs can be used in such a way to explore one's own personal issues. Like Erika Ishii stated in a podcast with Brennan that her D&D characters started dating women before she did

the beautiful thing about Ally's best moments is that they are almost always accompanied by Zac losing his shit

i love Emily’s like almost violent laugh after it
Kristen's arc is "I love God" to "Maybe I am gay" to "Maybe I am God" to "Flirting with your friend's mom"
Phenomenal

Considering Fantasy High freshman year was their first time ever playing D&D I think you can excuse then for not being a master of game mechanics.

Ally is war guy now. best mechanics person at the table now.

3:13 🤣 I love Ally just crumbling from the disapproving looks of Mama Siobhan and Papa Brennan.
They put the food down like a kid that just got caught doing something wrong
I never saw this moment and it is cracking me up
0:54 The deafening pause and open-mouthed stare gets me every time.
Kristen Applebees unironically made me rethink how I make characters and the possibilities of PCs, purely because Ally is such an entrancing role player and is so fixed on character motives and home schooling- god I’d do so much for Kristen
Also love "Kirsten silently muttering inspiring speech while everyone is panicking"
4:07 "god is in us all"
I laughed so hard I might have fainted a little
Criminally underrated moment of Fantasy High

the way they say “but im also not supposed to eat this much sugar 😏😎” literally one of the best players in all of d20 and im not fucking kidding
Ally Beardsley is a goddamn gift and i love Kristen Applebees so much
Ally: No, but.... Eggrol time! 🤷🏼♀️
Brennan's thoughts: "I am very tired"
*“I have to pee too bad to listen to this conversation”*
2:01 please, that “I’m not a baby!” absolutely *sent* me
the only person that plays DnD as if they were playing beyblade and manages to get perfect poetic rolls and not just wheatons
one of my favorites is when the bad kids meet bill seacaster for the first time and he says something like "be there a leader among you?" and ally just points up at the sky
Kristen and Riz teaming up to bother Sandra Lynn was the funniest shit 😂
3:04 is one of my all-time favorite d20 moments, the admonishing "Ally..." from Siobhan and Brennan cracks me up
Ally is such an inspiration I simultaneously want to be them or have a crush on them
The only thing better than Ally becoming Kirsten is Emily dying of laughter in the background
My fav ally bit is definitely in episode 5 where tracker says 'you got your bible shirt on in a bar' and ally just puts their hands up to fight lol
7:01 the piano trill comes in at THE PERFECT TIME, I can't stop replaying it pls help
Watching the banana scene really recontextualizes Ally's reaction to Lily's character eating soup in Shriek Week.
Do you know what was happening there? Like did they pour sorbet or vitamin powder or something onto a banana?
@@raychances6251 Not exactly sure what it was, but it is hilariously distracting.
@@raychances6251 I think someone says peanut butter in that scene
Yo for real Kristen Applebees and Ally Beardsley made me like question everything and I am so glad for that
Kristen unloading about how she's "deep on reddit" and Gorgug raising his hand to indicate that he's listening. Love Ally and Zac so so so much, perfect angels, 12/10.
“Michael Cera talking to Michael Cera” made me spit out my drink when I first watched Fantasy High. Maybe my favorite thing they’ve ever said
"it's like a Michael Cera talking to a Michael Cera"
Kristen: “Hey baby”
Ayda: “I’m not a baby”
Such an underrated moment
I still love the Kristen intro song.
im just surprised the ten story ribbon dance decent wasn’t included
im begging you come back we need more of these
2:25 lous face is fucking asf he looks so terrified i love ally and lou so much they are my inspo when i play dnd
That 19 on performance check was amazing
Glad someone caught that Oop Oh My reference, that was one of my favorite moments
me (an empath): I'm sensing that Kristen likes girls
"you are a whisper of a man" is honestly the most hurtful insult i can imagine receiving
I'M HERE TO LOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE CAUGHT IN SEX TRAFFICKING
“………………………… you guys head on in! You guys can head on in”
"No, but... eggroll time."
unrelated but i just realized that in season 1 of fantasy high, tracker worships lida, and not galicaea
so did i! what’s up with that?
@@grakee9040 I'm pretty sure its just two names for the same thing
Lou's life flashed before his eyes when Ally yeeted that die.
Ally has -3 to dex in real life
the funniest thing to watch is murph just absolutely losing it watching ally say the most out of pocket shit
Me role playing: “imma be a fun pirate! Yo ho ho!”
Ally role playing: “time for violence and therapy!”
I think about “silky elves” every day
1:50
EGGROLL TIME
"you are a whisper of a man"
devastating
The beginning of the Harvestmen camp thing hits me so much because I was a kid who genuinely loved the teaching segments at church and is now extremely gay and mostly antitheist.
I love the far cry 5 music from the beginning.
in the weirdest way possible kristen really reminds me of nick from new girl
"i am breathing better because this banana is being eaten"
some of the things that come out of their mouths is the best shit ever
ally in season 1 was so wild and by far probably my favorite
ally is so damn funny
Emily's laugh being delayed by like a solid 5 seconds after Ally tries to throw the die into their mouth kills me every time
''there are definitely gonna be seven virgins at prom'' is such an underrated line
Ally is one of my fav dnd players they're hilarious af
THE BIG WATER😭😭😭😭
I'm not a very avid d20 watcher but I LIVE for compilations like this
I was watching this and less then 3 minutes in a was cry laughing so hard I couldn't breathe and my mom had to check in with me to make sure I wasn't dying
