I really love how, at first it’s implied that Ricky is doing the selfie thing with Esther as a way to hit on her, only for it to turn out, no, that’s just how Ricky Matsui communicates as a habit.

[@MeonLights]

I mean in a way it both shows what you are doing and where you are which is helpful.

[@greenberry6019]

​@@MeonLights right, but wouldn't the fact it's a photo from your phone kinda imply your presence there?

[@MeonLights]

@@greenberry6019 Hence the "what you are doing" xD if he's a fireman in front of a burned out house I'd know he just fought a fire

ahh hadn't even noticed that before, thank you for pointing it out 🥺

[@dilsdoes]

just realised 'it feels good to be around you- magically speaking.' thats so cute shes trying so hard not to tell on herself.

The Sinatras law part is one of my favourite moments in fiction. The way Brennan used the flirting to hit that exposition point, perfection

[@katieedits2020]

yes!! such good storytelling!

[@josiahklein70]

And the pun was GOD-TIER!

[@grubbu7073]

Sinatras law, the New York minute, and the red light green light joke are just all examples to me of how Brennan will just write shit to prove a point. Like “I will find a way to make this stupid pun or joke have intense plot relevance because I CAN”

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

@grubbu7073 Gnosis' origin is the highlight of this bit, even with all the clever plot important pun shit he did in unsleeping, there is no joy like watching the intrepid heroes all slowly get it and brennan start dancing with unmatched joy while they boo him so hard

"Let's live a dangerous life together" is literally one of the most romantic lines I've ever heard.

[@Chernobog34]

What's up with Zac always having like the only healthy relationships in D20? Zelda AND Esther? Like it's so pure.

[@mimipeahes5848]

Don’t forget fig and ayda.

[@GranDOise-vb5xo]

@@mimipeahes5848 I’ll agree that they’re relationship is lovely but remember Fig’s two relationships prior to Ayda? Not really healthy for a minor to magically catfish two grown men.

[@piequals314]

idk, I'd argue Sofia and Dale's relationship is healthy... sure they had a phase where Sofia thought Dale cheated, but that's not the fault of either of them

[@honeynutqueerio]

i mean i think that’s the entire point of fig’s romance arc in FHSY. of course it’s problematic, she has to have a place to grow from.

My favorite part, besides this whole video, is Ricky’s himbo firefighter buddies being so wholesome with him about Esther. It’s adorable. And so are they. What I’m trying to say is thank you so much for making this I love it and have wanted one for so long

[@katieedits2020]

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed! And I love The Johns, they're great

[@Ashely56]

The scene with Esther's Grandmother and Ricky always cracks me up 🤣

[@green_dragon_knight]

It’s my favourite scene in the whole campaign! Zac and Brennan are so hilarious together

[@HenriqueErzinger]

I've seen it a million times, even watched it on release, and just spat my coke knowing it was coming hahaha maybe the funnier scene in d20 history

god nothing will ever hurt like the scene with esther showing her mom and grandma to ricky, that was, to me, the first time i fully saw esther allow herself to show ricky something that meant a lot to her. she lived in that emotionless state for so long, and when she finally saw him accept them as a part of her life, and by extension, his life from that moment on. just wow ouchie

[@katieedits2020]

yeah same! it's a really touching scene

[@Snapdragon0112]

Okay these firefighters are amazing. Just a bunch of dudes trying to be supportive and help him out. This is the only context for “boys will be boys” that I will allow.

[@StringierHail56]

Ricky goes to show that being dumb isn't always unattractive

[@katieedits2020]

himbos, however, are always attractive

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

I think the reason is because Ricky genuinely wants to learn lol

[@colliwer]

Emily’s background expressions during most of these scenes is really the cherry on top for me

[@MeonLights]

It's really fun to have a character who doesn't really understand much academic or intricate magical stuff because the rest of the table can sit there and listen to it being broken down into the most basic ways of understanding. Like I actually knew the word Axiom but on the other hand I had no clue wtf Sinatra's Law was referering to and getting all confused.

Love that you included the moment where her grandma tries to reveal the darkness, bc i adore the himbo pure guys

[@Bloodyshadow1]

these two remind me of Ursula and George from George of the Jungle. Ricky and George are kind hearted, beautiful men who adore the woman they love, hang on to her every word even if they can't understand it they try and make an effort. Ester and Ursula are smart worldly women, who have big hearts and more common sense who just love their beautiful himbo

Its not really mentioned but Ricky breaks a lot of tropes including the model minority trope that comes with being an asain character.
