I love the way Lou just starts grinning and giggling whenever Ayda and Fig do something cute and the way he starts cheering for them, he's literally the biggest shipper at the table

the way he says "Yes-ah!" always gets me lol

[@lovelessissimo]

What's a shipper?

[@Terik17]

from what I've noticed, he always has the biggest reaction to any romance-related scene in this campaign, like him squirming when Gorgug and Zelda or Kristen and Tracker are fighting

[@randyladd4528]

panic-vomiting, complimenting your crush, and then skateboarding away is the most relatable thing I've ever seen

them putting lou and ally next to each other was actually so nice of them so we don’t have to split our attention between the two biggest reactors

[@connor7261]

lou is like full mouth-breathing, somehow constantly sitting in a way that is reminiscent of a gargoyle?? like hes resting his entire bodyweight on his elbows and holding his jaw Fully open at every given moment. actually absurd.

I can't believe Gilear hasn't been awarded any exp, dude could at least be a level 2 middle aged man, he deserves it

[@JFKdied2]

It's exp based and he did kill a few pirates with the van in canon so that's correct

ok, how is no one talking about gilear being dressed by the bad kids. Brennans sad face while everyone is having fun, fucking gold.

[@sarahgowen3692]

The way he acted having an imaginary beret put on his head just perfectly conveyed the emotional complexities involved.

[@bubbleswearhats5577]

The fact that Brennan specifically planned to bring Fig on that date is very funny. There have been obvious hints that Fig and her are like into each other but Brennan planting her behind Fig just so they could go on a date is so amazing. Also this mean he is now dating 3 of the PCs (hopefully)

[@devorahcohen866]

I love how gorgug says that his parents are gnomes and not a single NPC questions why the half-orc is like this

[@enjoymusic6365]

As someone who is autistic, I really do appreciate how well Brennan plays Ayda. Like there are things that are exaggerated for sure, but the way Ayda is trying to learn how to be social and have relationships is almost exactly how I remember learning how to be social and have relationships.

[@roru3374]

Is Brennan autistic 🤨 as another autist I feel as if it is insider knowledge that makes it so accurate. Or maybe someone close to him is ?

[@potato4551]

Me too, both with being autistic and loving how he plays Ayda I actually kinda appreciate the exaggeration? Honestly I actually don’t think it is exaggeration although it might of been at first, I see it as him playing a autistic person that takes things extremely literally which- people don’t really.. do that type of autism in media except for laughs, or to make fun of the character. This… doesn’t really feel like that though or at least it’s not the intention

[@quinn0517]

Yes! You can see the research and care he put into the rep and I love that so much.

[@maarakailet1]

Oh no! *cracking up* I'm autistic and completely missed that Ayda was being played that way. I was just thinking, "Wow, I really like this character more than the others. She's so logical". *facepalm* Ok, after recovering from my self-own, I can see it now. I genuinely thought it was because he was mimicking bird mannerisms.

[@lunavixrn5651]

the sheer skill in which the intrepid heroes delve immediately into party mode as if they had actually been doing it for hours rather than just completely improvising it... gods i wish my dnd group were professional improv comedians. Instead, only like four of the six of us even went to like theatre summer camps as kids. this is truly hysterical.
