I binged watched the complete playlists on Dimension 20 and I'm fucking obsessed. I love just how fun and chaotic yet heart-wrenching and emotional it all is. Brennan is such a fun DM and I love how rewards the players even if their ideas are insane but that's what makes it so special. The moment that I can, I am getting that subscription to Dropout and watching everything else that I'm missing. I also can't wait to see some of the campaigns that Brennan hasn't/isn't DMing.

Twitch Streamer Mary Ann Skuttle AU
She almost exclusively plays video games, tho sometimes she reviews the quality and cuteness of plushies. Sometimes she updates people on her quokki pet's level or how her personal AC Island looks, or her longest running Stardew Farm. (Maru IS her favorite Stardew marriageable NPC because it reminds her of her "loser boyfriend".)
Sometimes she gets her friends to play games with her on stream, or they're just in the background hanging out. Once when a game comes out that Mary Ann is legit excited for (in her own way) everyone gathers in a little watch party in the background with snacks as they settle in for the Marathon stream about to happen.
If she misses some streams she probably tosses out a simple update about her and her friends being on a quest or something similar that she implies is kinda lame. Her watchers KNOW she's an adventurer but there is never any elaboration.
They also know she has a boyfriend but known VERY little about him.
Loser Boyfriend™️ Confirmed Facts
1. Loser
2. His quokki pets gameplay is trash
3. Also an adventurer ig
4. Plays drums sometimes
5. They officially met when she curb-stomped his ass at a sports tryouts and he got mad. (No elaboration)
6. He made her a switch capable of running ROMhacks and mods.
7. Half-orc. The only times they have ever seen him is once or twice when he wordlessly hands her a mango soda from off screen. They have an entire emote of his hand with the soda bottle they spam sometimes. (#bottleboi)
Which is to say when Gorgug shows up in the background of the stream one day, cause Mary Ann rearranged or was streaming from somewhere else temporarily, people start freaking out.
Mary Ann notices but only comments "yeah, that's my loser boyfriend. Don't worry about it."
THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE MARY ANN!!!
THAT'S GORGUG THISTLESPRING, FAMOUS 4X WORLD SAVING RENOWN ADVENTURER BEFORE HE EVEN FINISHED HIGHSCHOOL, THE FIRST EVER BARBIFICER IN THE WORLD, AND GODDAMN FAMOUS ROCK STAR.
YOU CALL HIM YOUR LOSER BOYFRIEND?????
"His quokki pets gameplay is trash."
MA'AM-
Before the episode tonight, I wanted to get my thoughts out for last week's episode.
Wow, so much happened and I think we got some really interesting answers but also very much nowhere near having enough.
There were some really wholesome moments in this episode. Like Gerard trying to guard Miss Muffet from the reality that happened to the people in the cocoons. And his moment with Ylfa and trying to reassure her that she wasn't some monster. Plus the absolute fondness that his voice held when speaking of Elody and her strength. My heartstring strung up tight. I was so unsure of Gerard when we first met him but I shouldn't have doubted Murph. He is such an interesting and complex character that it takes a second to really appreciate and look at him wholely.
And Mother Goose's little pep talk to Miss Muffet even while Brennan was having too much fun with the soundboard, it just shows that these adults, though Gerard's adulthood was unnatural in some means, recognize that these are still two very young girls who are still kids and shouldn't have to be so emotionally and mentally aware of the horrors that the world has around them but have to for survival. But here comes Mother Goose and the ever-growing and developing Gerard helping them shoulder it all that they can.
I'm quite curious about the like twig construct-like creatures and if we will be seeing more of them. If I understood correctly, they came from The Great Fairy but our sneaky little Pib ruined her plan. Maybe we'll even see a briar construct-like creature eventually. I'm not sure about that one but at this rate, I wouldn't even be surprised anymore. (Yes, I would but nonetheless.)
Now, for the ending of the episode...
Holy...
Shit...
So much happened so fast. THE ART!!! The absolute rawest statement from Brennan. "The face of a divinity you don't worship, the fucking smile of a devil that you never believed in." The best move of Gerard throwing Pinnochio that sword of truth. Mother Goose quickly and I think a smart move too, of shoving Rosamund in the closest cause we all know The Stepmother wants her. And the image of this Fairy, something that is so powerful and induces fear, being so afraid of seeing The Stepmother that she ripped out her own eyes!!!! And then of course, "reality shatters." I can't even imagine where the fuck we are going next. I'm so glad Scheherazade was able to grab them and seemingly pull them somewhere safe.
I can't wait to watch the next episode. It drops in last than 30 minutes for me so I will be watching it very soon. I still need to put my reaction to Misfits and Magic up but that is next. I'm still in the stars so I'll talk to you guys later.
it's funny how Adaine might have been the perfect Bad Kid for Porter to corrupt yet he didn't even know her name. She was the younger unfavorite daughter in her family, prone to panic attacks and lashing out. She wanted to punch people in the face the first day of school, she's the first one of the Bad Kids who killed a person instead of a monster and she did it with a melee weapon.
Even after she is in a healthier environment she is actually more vicious than fearful like she was in freshman year. She lashes out against authority figures and injustice, she is proud of killing her father by punching off his head. everytime someone wrongs her she response twice as hard in a fury that even the rest of the party doesn't match.
And to make things worse, the Wizard teacher is a condescending bitch who talks down to her students. It would have been so easy for him to take Adaine under his wing. She's literally everything he pretended Fig was and now she's turning her anger on him. The guy is not only a bad teacher, an all around dick, but he's also as bad at proselytizing as Kristen is.
Frankly all of the bad kids were kind of perfect for him and his plans, if a bit too headstrong and willful, but he was never clever enough as he thinks. That's why he's being mocked by a bunch of teenagers when he tries to get them to debate him/ engage with his philosophy
*Edit*
I actually liked this idea so much I started an au if you're interested

oh to smoke a joint with the intrepid heroes. talk about a dream rotation my god
I finished watching ACOFAF a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to just write about my experience watching it.
First of all, I had never really watched anything regency before. I have read Jane Austin before so there were themes I was able to recognize. However, I quickly fell in love with this campaign. It was the first campaign I've watched for D20 that Brennan wasn't the DM for. All of the different campaign mechanics were so cool and caused such fun little stirs in the stories. From the rumors and secret lives of all the characters were so fun to watch unfold. Binx very quickly became my favorite character and this idea of her court being of craft and lost things really tugged at some heartstrings of mine.
I was also practically crying over Rue and Hob. I was cheering for them from the moment between them in the hunt. I've seen all of the different fanart across the tag and they all just make my little heart sing.
Aabria's DMing was so fun and she really set up this beautiful world full of wonder and whimsy. Along with how she had the other players also bring in their voices into the story, it gave such a wonderful feeling of trust and further developed these stories.
It quickly became one of my favorite campaigns thus far. I can't wait to watch the others.
Wow, these two episodes held so much in the stories each. Learning so much about the characters, the book, the NPCs, and then the battle.
I quite like how The Stepmother is seemingly connected to every stepmother or stepmother like characters in these fairy/folk tales being this omnipotent being that is so haunting. I'm very curious about how she will continue to show up in this story. The mirror caused quite a fuss about wishing to be returned to her so I'm wondering if we will see the mirror with her at some point possibly.
The book, especially after the death scenes, has really caught my attention in how it can or may be used going forward. Like Ylfa said, they were focusing so much on the past, maybe it's time to look towards the future which I think will delve into how these characters will come back because I personally don't believe that this is the last of these characters.
I can already say that this campaign is also gonna be a top favorite of mine. It's hard not to have a favorite honestly.
