Dimension of Monster Girls - A Monstrous Valentine's Day Special

A feature of British people, unfortunately

[@BewareofTarps]

The hedgehogs might need to unionize at this point.

[@H0lyMoley]

I think of them more as societal warriors, like the Spartans, where you were a warrior by birth. A hedgehog's covering up sexy bits in videogames is both its duty and its birthright.

[@peytonmac1131]

The closed captions at the start read, "Good afternoon ladies jumping on Jon", which I think is very appropriate for this game.

[@omegatheta1701]

I expect the next podcats to have a section where Jon tries to explain the complicated nature of monster girls to dan and Matt for 40 odd minutes

[@patrickwilliamson29]

Hi Jon, I'm a wildlife biologist and yes snakes go high to intimidate potential threat. A black mamba can "stand" on the last third of their body length, meaning at 6m long this snake can be at eye level of a very tall person

[@patrickwilliamson29]

@Apsoy Pike whoops I meant to say last two thirds. that's what I get for writing comments too early in the morning

[@shadowingyou]

​@Apsoy Pike Considering they mention black mamba specifically - that meets most people* Edit due to correction in statement.

[@marcogenovesi8570]

I'm sure this is not necessary for humans, anybody seeing a 6m long thick snake is very intimidated already

[@theprofessionalfence-sitter]

There definitely need to be more videos on weird dating games - once a year just isn't enough! I'd love to see Jon play a round of Monster Prom with Claire on stream some day.

[@SheepyFields]

That would be amazing. Monster prom (or camp) are actually pretty entertaining games! Id love to see Jon simp for Calculester.

[@Ancusohm]

That would be awesome!

[@BK-MK]

I was thinking the actually same thing when I clicked on the video

[@KatastrophicNoodle]

That's a stupid idea, sorry. That games too modern and too SJW. Jon needs to play some real trash like the sakura games or the nekopara games. Seeing him overanalyse would be hilarious.

If I remember correctly it was the first meal of the day.

[@HappyMan0203]

I appreciate that Jon's not just dunking on the game or mocking it as like "Haha, look at how weird this dating sim is", but actually giving it an honest go. Obviously he's having a little bit of a laff at some of the goofiest stuff, but I just like that he's taking it in earnest as for what the game's asking him to do.

[@andrewsmith8715]

Thats one of the reasons this channel is great. Jons a higher caliber than lots of other gaming youtubers.

[@darkpixel1128]

I really love how into each game he gets, like in the older valentines specials.

[@skorpion7132]

@@andrewsmith8715 Indeed. He makes it seem fun, but still genuine. And I have to be honest, his way of approach almost makes me want to just try those once myself. Just for the sake of my own amusement.

[@Flotube444]

John is the only person who can make a hentai monster girl game about contract law. I love it.

[@blarg2429]

There should be a dating sim where the love interests are all exaggeratedly strange lawyers or something. And if that game exists or is made in the future, Jon should play it.

[@minscandboo9749]

I always look forward to the yearly hedgehog special! I wonder how many spiky friends will be around this time…

[@MiskyWilkshake]

Well, I can't say I was expecting a Kafkaesque descent into nonsensical fantasy contract-law, but I guess that's got to be someone's kink.

[@MyPisceanNature]

Given Jon's appreciation for redheaded French girls, it seems that he picked the closest one to that 😆.

[@the_Book_778]

I love the valentines day video. It's Jon making things weird for about 30 minutes and that's always good for a laugh.

[@raze2012_]

I appreciate hearing Jon's completely practical real world considerations for the impact of monster girl marriage. probably spent more time considering the worldbuilding than the author themselves lol.

[@Eon2641]

6:50 Fun fact: Stockholm syndrome isn't a real psychological disorder. It's something police in Sweden invented to explain why someone might be more scared of being shot in a rescue attempt (a very reasonable thing to be afraid of when you're standing an arms length away from the person who'd be shot at) than by their captor, who had not shown any desire to harm them. The idea that humans are naturally empathetic to folks in desperate situations didn't occur to anyone, apparently. What this lady is suggesting is much closer to a thing called "economic abuse" where one partner in a relationship controls all the assets and any ability for that person to do things independently.

[@CountingStars333]

Fun fact.dont believe anutjing.

[@dashiellgillingham4579]

I’d heard they invented it to explain one specific case where basically everyone who a sad old man held captive in a bank or something described him as a nice guy and didn’t want him punished for it, so the police concluded they all had an undiscovered psychological disorder rather than accept that it was a sad old man and people felt really bad for him even after being the victims of his breakdown.

[@Eon2641]

@@dashiellgillingham4579 That's pretty much the gist of it, yup. I don't think the guy was actually _that_ old, but they did all describe him as very kind. It's been sensationalized to hell and back since.

[@NoReplyAsset]

YUP. a lot of "stockholm syndrome" where people defend their abusers is just a result of financial abuse/gaslighting/mental illness etc. nobody actually enjoys being captive.

[@Mathmachine]

I see Jon is celebrating International Hedgehog Day accordingly.

I might give this one a pass. Like, if you're transported to another world and you meet a new species and are expected to marry pretty much immediately. That's right about the only time it'd be acceptable. Baring like a really bad case of retrograde amnesia😂

[@Jboy2000000]

Jon trying to figure out where the snussy is, is comedic genius.

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

I love how much legal, court talk there is in this, it actually makes the video entertaining

[@kurtisharen]

I'm just imagining Jon's character in-person muttering all of this about contract and marital law, body compatibility, and referring to the other characters directly as "Sexy Snake", "Sexy Octopus", and "Sexy Plant" in his mutterings, right in front of their faces. And they're silently debating whether it's worth it to try and seduce this tactless, muttering weirdo.

[@cometchaser7139]

I'm less than 4 minutes in and have realised that Jon has not read much internet literature. This will be hilarious.

[@danfr]

Jon: "Oh, the plant girl is going to be a vegan, isn't she". 🤨You sure about that Jon, the girl made out of plants must exclusively eat plants? The Lamia even calls out that eating humans would be cannibalistic since she's essentially half human. Did anyone tell Jon about the plants that eat small animals.

[@doryna_sira]

Since he's scared of them, he's probably blocked them from his memory.

[@NoReplyAsset]

plants actually really enjoy eating bones. bonemeal is a thing outside of minecraft too.

[@benayers8622]

Penus fly trap 😮

[@lacoma631]

The seriousness with which Jon handles everything in this game is hilarious

[@OhMeGaGS]

Beatrice was definitely the only reasonable choice in this one, also to your questions about how exactly, we'll use the codename "red flower" for not getting nuked by google bots purposes, so with snake girls typically their red flower would be kind of orientated like you'd imagine a belly button to be, as opposed to between the legs (since they don't have legs) so just picture another belly button a bit below the belly button, but it's not a belly button it's a "red flower"

[@Eon2641]

I dunno, plant girl seems like she's into that cottagecore lifestyle and that seems pretty cozy and nice. Squid girl openly saying she intends to abuse you like 30 seconds after she meets you is an obvious deal breaker, though.

[@onewhowalkedaway]

As for the underwear, probably stuck on or possibly mostly dangling off a belt

[@OhMeGaGS]

@@Eon2641 If I have 3 days to pick whether I want to spend the rest of my life with snek big tiddy sugar mommy or eating wild berries till I die I wouldn't really have that hard of a time choosing but to each their own I suppose

[@mrcheesemunch]

@@Eon2641 Yeah I think living with the plant would be the most fun. You could build a thriving business around herbs and whatnot and you'd always be healthy. Suits me fine over pompous rich folk. To me it would feel like I was Beatrice's pet or something rather than companion. If there's magic going on here plant girl might even get you in to alchemy stuff. The sex might be weird but I mean so is screwing a massive half snake lady... Squid girl kinda just feels like a joke option.

[@bg3929Z]

Jon, I hope you're happy that my internet search history is now filled with filth in an attempt to see the solution to the, ahem *dilemma* you concealed behind that damn fade to black!

[@primarilydaniel137]

[@the_tactician9858]

The answer is Viper. No, actually.. Viper isn't the answer. Viper is the question, and the answer is yes.

[@DeadDancers]

Same. I failed. But I refuse to buy the game to find out. >_

[@snowisthebestweather]

If you're talking about the Lamia genitals and underwear, most of the time, the genitals are human. I've seen one instance of a Lamia who actually had a cloaca where an actual snake would have it. For the underwear, Daily Life with Monster Girls has an answer: it's basically just a patch that's slightly adhesive.

[@jvseventeen]

@@snowisthebestweather I kinda figured they were just like a waist loop with the "fabric" bits being taped or stickied somehow to their skin. It just makes sense if there's no way to actually put them on. But... I mean having them on to begin with is confusing because they're meant to cover the personal bits.. but there aren't any there lol

[@YaBoiDingus]

[@scarredchild]

This game feels like me writing fan-fiction as a teenager. "But if they don't have a wedding in a Christian church, then how are they supposed to live together and have children?" I had an odd mix of talking about everything and nothing growing up.

[@fuzzyfuzzyfungus]

In fairness to plant-girl; it's entirely possible that a forest ecosystem of nontrivial scale is a business empire of a kind. It's not uncommon in myth for various demi-human sylvan entities to be seen as fairly active, if often covert, forestry management entities. It's more of a magical symbiosis of which they are the sentient manifestation; rather than a "I'm the Senior Vice President of Broadleaf Trees" thing; but still.

[@MelficeSilesius]

Deceptively light on hedgehogs. I was basically here for the hedgehogs. I feel robbed.

[@johnyshadow]

For one of these valentine specials, we need to find Jon a hedgehog girl (dating sim), for double the hedgehogs! ;)

[@globalincident694]

My theory of the snake girl's claws is, whatever magic or science made her a snake, it is clearly inherited from her mother. Thus it must have been achieved by changing her genetics in some way. While snakes do not have limbs, they are descended from species that do. It's possible that there are still some unknown genes that encode claws which are present in snakes but have no effect, that were expressed properly as a result of the gene splicing process. That being said, I have no explanation for her ears.

[@juliajs1752]

Jon should make a dating guide. His insights into relationships, how to build and maintain them and that every partner needs something going on besides the other one - that's valuable. That's something a lot of young people and teenagers should learn!

[@maddoxm6807]

I love the ending. Fade to black and “Ohhh…. So THATS how it works”. Taken straight from a decent movie

[@thevoidlookspretty7079]

What I love about this is that every time I’ve heard someone read one of these, it’s always with an air of sarcasm mixed with horniness. Jon’s the first (and probably last) person I’ve heard read it in character, because it just so happens that a sailor that is very confused but trying to roll with it would act a lot like Jon tends to.

[@epicurius1]

And to think, all this time, your character just wants to get back to his wife, son, and loving dog. (Warning, there's a chance that your wife will try to tie you up you with the burial shroud she's making for your dead father)

Bravo, Sir, bravo

[@eggytheduck2648]

I like how Jon is as actively concerned about the contract law, television, and reproductive mechanics of all of this as I probably would be. And gods, can he *be* any more British than to start out going with the one with the best insults? xD

[@musicgamerlover]

You know Jon there are times when I disagree with you (Such as your interpretation of Kasumi of Far Harbour) but this time I agree with your reasoning with regards to these monster girls. And your jokes were really good again, you gave me a good laugh.

[@HailKosm]

Snakes are squamates which makes them closely related to lizards. More than likely snakes had front and hind limbs but as they evolved to particularly hunt burrowing prey their limbs became more atrophied until eventually they lost them completely. You can still encounter boas with vestigial hind claws. You don't need limbs when you specialize for crawling quickly and silently through the underbrush.

[@origulator]

I think the snake girl is actually just wearing cosplay gloves so she looks more lizardlike and her actual hands are just normal human ones underneath.

Also technically a snake girl could be compatible because she has a cloaca. Also humans do technically grow from eggs, we just don't lay our eggs. The octopus and plant is more strange because both use external fertilization.

Horrible fact: in larger species of Octopus, the mom stays with the clutch of eggs until it hatches and starves to death straight after. More horrible fact: If those Octopus moms could overcome that, they could teach their young how to do things and take steps towards replacing us on earth. Most horrible fact: There's a species of Octopus in the Gulf of Mexico that lives in colonies and does just that. Except they're tiny. Your mileage may vary on the horrible aspects. I think Octopuses are bloody awesome.
