Fantasy High SM Year Animatic | Riz, Fig, and Gilear in Hell

[@scolkereybel]

Just love Gilear stepping in as a parent at the end. I always remember the jokes, about Gilear just being this really pitiable man who got stuck in the wheel of the hangvan. But there are just these short sweet moments when Gilear is just the only parent around, and everyone is just a kid. Not saying he hits home runs, but sometimes after a long hard day you need a parent to say 'you need to eat something, drink your water, and get your sleep. You've done a great job today. You can finish the rest tomorrow.'

[@dm-in-training]

that is exactly the reason i made this animatic. I thought it was amazing how he stepped up. If I could go back and add to this animatic, I would add in the moment on the staircase where he said to fig after she admitted to feeling guilty about his life that, "I've let you down, and I'm going to do better, and that's not going to happen anymore." I just love his personality and fatherly love for fig a lot.

[@ChestersonJack]

Yes totally. First impressions last, and the first impression we got of Gilear was his little talk with Fig before her first day at school. He’s a good dad.

[@C21232]

And then he commits a lot of murder later in front of the same two people.

[@KumaoftheForest]

Gilear has no middle ground he’s either a MESS “putting on the Armor of Pride while getting his junk stuck in the thigh strap” or a SAINT” what Gilear does while stuck inside the armor of Pride and going FULL BEAST MODE”

[@M.Datura]

@@KumaoftheForest The only thought I had reading this was, "The codpiece was probably too small." (Also, yes, Gilear, other than his devestating depression, seems like a really good dad.)

[@TheFrogspawnedOne]

I love Gilear in Hell because ironically he seems... better? Happier? In literal hell than he does in Solace.

[@-hayleymc_is_tired-5038]

Hell is hell for everyone not just him anymore it’s an even playing field for the first time in a while for ol Gilear. “He’s just a guy” in a rough patch in a world of heroes lol I feel very Gilear like a lot hahah

[@HellInternAKACandyMD]

Spoiler for next season: It kind of expands indirectly (so far) on why you're getting this feeling. At least my head cannon says that based of what I have learned so far in the next season.

[@cantaloupegodling352]

Gilear is always going through it at least a little but when everyone else is also having a bad time he can't get much worse so he can be a source of support.

[@TheOddOne347]

I love that Gilear's one thing he is actually good at is being a dad. Like he always loves his daughter and he takes care of her and her friends as a father when they need to just be teenagers for a second. He is so pathetic but he's a loving dad!

[@drbeard4505]

I like how much Gilear and Fig look like father and daughter in this. Sharing the little glances and similar body language.

[@Aveeabobia]

It's really nice that once he realizes fig takes responsibility for his state, he really does immediatly try to do and be better, when he stated that I DID cry a bit.

[@thatlycantomboy]

the way that Gilear just pats Riz on the head at the end… instant serotonin

[@hiti6753]

4:20 “Okay, I’m going to step in as a parent now...” absolutely slays me! 😂

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

Gilear's like, _"O_ -kay, slow down a minute." 😂 Dad's gotta dad in a situation like this, even if he's depressed.

[@squeemlives]

Your body language, specifically your hand movements (Gilear explaining the pregnant pause) are suuuper good and natural. It took me a while to figure out why I loved these animatics so much, and I think it's due to that. It grounds everything.

[@emilyjfreer2895]

wow i love this so much, the hangman just gliding into the conversation, riz crying cause he got clues, perfect

[@Vinzaf]

Just thinking, like, if nobody had any context - cutting randomly to a sentient motorcycle would be heckin' confusing.

[@Blackguard9099]

Very well done! Always nice to see more folks getting on the D20 animatic train; hoping for more content like this in the future.

[@dm-in-training]

you should see something new in the next week or so :)

the shading and backgrounds in this are so good!!! i always hate backgrounds lol but yo use of them makes this so much more immersive. this is one of my favorite scenes - poor riz!!

[@radstarmuffin]

Your animatics are both so good wow all the details and facial expressions and stuff are incredible

He is, in fact, the chosen one

[@KTIsANoob]

Guys, does underworld (Greek myth) rule apply in hell here? Coz if it is, Gilear ate Hell Passion fruit yogurt. Gilear is now a denizen of hell.

[@dm-in-training]

His life is already hell, I think he's ok

[@KTIsANoob]

@@dm-in-training true. But it's getting better and he has a very supportive daughter.

@@benjaminoechsli1941 That was what Persephone ate, but in the myths eating any food from the underworld would make one become a citizen of the underworld.

[@littlecatthewolfhound]

I love the Hangman wheeling in to get in on the gossip 😂

[@Tonyd5736]

Something I never got is I don't understandwhy they thought his dad had sex with her because I thought it was established by this point that she was always "not real"/intangible or at least that's what I was thinking at the time and I thought I was missing something

[@dm-in-training]

yeah it was really frustrating actually haha I also felt that the whole "is Kalina the lost god?" theory went on for a reaaally long time. I thought that when they saw the cat familiar in the temple they would put two and two together. Apparently not. :/

[@handfulmousefly]

@@dm-in-training players are bad at reading the context clues you actually want them to 100% of the time

[@edwardt.8704]

Well, Brennan/Kalina literally shook her head when Riz asked Kalina if she is a familiar, so I can see why Riz might've jumped to this conclusion while confused in hell. On a meta level, it is unfortunate why the answer that Pok had relations with someone else while on a mission before meeting/while with Sklonda and giving her "Kalina" didn't cross anyone's mind. Tbf, I don't even remember who Adaine saw before Pok while scrying on Kalina because the vision was so crazy.

[@flask223]

I don’t think pok got infected by Kalina directly

[@sammantixgm]

@@dm-in-training between these things. The constant "devil/demon" flubs, Kristen forgetting Jawbone is Tracker's Uncle, not dad, Kristen forgetting...a lot of things. Actually. I love a lot of this season, but I'm at "green heaven" episode and I'm just like...there are moments where I just wanna Murph up and yell "focus up"

[@nb_knight5251]

we love to see gilear being a dad

[@ExElliexE]

Where did you get the audio? I can only find Videos through Heartache on the Celestine Sea Part 2

[@dm-in-training]

If you get a free trial on dropout, or a $5 subscription, you can watch all of season 2 and some of their other shows! Not to sound like an advertisement, but it's definitely worth it!

[@ExElliexE]

DM-in-Training oh okay! I though I just couldn’t find the episodes, since the others were on KZbin. Thanks!
