I love Siobhan in character, but her greatest moment is translating one of Brennans Latin clues on the spot and making him go “WTF Siobhan!”

[@thatlycantomboy]

honestly, I think that was the exact moment I was like. well shit. guess she’s my favorite now

[@liamross340]

a detail i really love that’s very small is that Adaine didn’t fail her entrance exam to Hudoll because she wasn’t smart enough, we all know she’s insanely intelligent, it was because her anxiety got to her and she had a panic attack and couldn’t finish the test. the panic attack thing is something i really love because it’s not a mechanic in game, she and brennan homebrewed something that would objectively make the game harder for her because it benefitted the story she wanted to tell and Adaine’s story of mental illness is one of my favourite things about fantasy high

[@ProducedByMERC]

And doesn't jawbone have a super sweet moment with her regarding her anxiety?

[@greyklopstock7155]

​@@ProducedByMERChe does! It's such a super cool mechanic they homebrewed, her anxiety is almost like a status effect that actually has real world implications

[@isaiahjohnson3487]

She's also so good at one-liners. I think of "Jet, we can't worry about getting in trouble, there's war going on" and "Only if she can get here, and I have her goddamn shoes" daily.

My favourite is when she demoralises an Alligator by telling him he’ll never work in showbusiness 😂

[@jonathanschaefer9848]

You helped me realize that I do sometimes look over Siobhan as a player, because her characters feel SO integral she almost feels like a co-dm as a storyteller.

[@liamross340]

you perfectly put it into words. she’s so good at working with what brennan gives her it sometimes feels like she’s an npc there to guide them along with their journey. i don’t think the intrepid heroes really have a group leader in any of the campaigns they all work together and listen to one another but Siobhan always seems to know what to do next

[@jonstewart5525]

She is the ultimate in supporting. I can’t think of a time she tried to take the main role in a story arc but I can’t really think of one she didn’t help shape. She has also let more characters go than any other d20 actor I think. Both Riva and Misty Moore were retired after one season. She fulfilled their character arcs while helping her friends and so she let them retire. She definitely also fits the co-dm role. There’s a reason she’s the first non-dm hired to the Iyengar-Mulligan Rules Lawyering firm.

[@Firegen1]

She also rarely steals the spotlight to make a bit happen. Zac, Murph and Siobhan are very giving improvisers. They would rather fade into the storyline than step on someone's shadow. That said, CC's video aged like fine wine because since Mentopolis and Burrow's End we got to see her as a vital lead and, Man did she shine 🥰

[@jamesfletcher3202]

I don't think there is a second season of starstruck Odyssey ​@@jonstewart5525

[@Scandal262]

I love how physical Siobhan gets while roleplaying. Her body language and facial expressions and voice really manage to sell the emotions she's trying to convey. It would be fine if she didnt do this, arguably not everyone in the group does to this degree, but she manages to elevate any scene she's involved in that much more.

[@pearljam6976]

She also, from the very beginning, coordinates every single outfit that she wears to fit her character. I honestly think the other players saw her do this from the early episodes of Fantasy High and decided to join her. She commits to her character harder than anyone else.

[@IamJacksSTD]

I know this comment is from five months ago, before Burrow's End, but just tacking on to this are all of her bits as Jaysohn. Siobhan doing the little punches and kicks while pretending to be asleep when she's not even in the conversation that occurs are absolutely hilarious. It really does make the world feel more lived in.

[@lineetta]

Totally agree - I first saw Siobhan in Starstruck Odyssey, and when I moved on to Unsleeping City I was shocked to realize how much of what I thought was her real life physical presence was actually her embodying the character. Like I swear she seemed physically TALLER as Misty. But it really clicked for me in UC s2 when she played Iga and you could see her *blinking* differently, embodying the character even while just staring at her zoom camera during long scenes she wasn’t in. She’s an incredible actor!

[@Firegen1]

I love a bit of Siobhan appreciation. She gets overlooked often. Including by me. I didn't connect to Adaine (exploring why she reminded me of someone I used to know who forward projected that anxiety and became mean often). But by Misty I got it. She is a wonderful screenwriter and I think that feeds into her ability to scope Brennan's world for opportunity. She is often the hero of another story and prodigal child in one. I adored Rosamund and Riva

[@icmyfood]

It’s also interesting to note that she also pitched a different character for Unsleeping City. She also pitched a Rogue that lived in the sewers. But she chose the Broadway Star archetype because Kugrash already fulfilled that part of the world and she purposefully wanted to explore a different part of the world. Unsleeping City chapter 1 would have been immensely different if we didn’t have Misty and we might have missed some really cool perspective on the setting.

[@devenseltzer6618]

I went back and watched the video where she talks about that other character option, and her crust punk rogue lived in east village, not the sewers. definitely a cool character concept, but as Brennan explained it it was kind of halfway in between Pete and Kugrash, and like you said without Misty we lose the entirety of broadway in Unsleeping City, and a lot of the fae stuff is significantly less important and represented by the characters. Misty isn’t really my favorite character of Unsleeping City (I still really like her and she’s a lot of fun, but i don’t connect with her the same way i do with other character Siobhan plays), but i think she was the right choice for the campaign, even if the crust punk rogue is more individually interesting to me

[@saimilind9086]

@@saimilind9086 “recapping fantasy high with Siobhan and Lou”, it’s from a mini series of live streams they did on twitch that they’ve now uploaded onto youtube and dropout. the full series of these livestreams is called Fantasy High Extra Credit

[@victoriarotramel2274]

Riva from Starstruck Odyssey is one of my favorite actual play characters. "Please hold!" has me cackling like a jackal every time. It can be hard to play a naive character without making them stupid or obnoxious. Siobhan plays Riva as sweet and understanding and as someone who isn't phased by the cruelty of a galaxy in chaos.

[@Immunity_ow]

That last fight she was a fucking God. Every time I hear please hold it sends me lmao

[@benpurcell4935]

Travis Willingham with Grog played a dumb character and manages to make him not feel like he doesn’t not know what’s going on just because of his low intelligence. The trust me with my 6 intelligence is an incredible line as well.

[@KaristinaLafae]

The "Please hold!" bit was great. I want to handle conflict as smoothly!

[@DillyBlue]

I love how Siobhan often plays characters who are immigrants within their world/context (drawing on her own experience as an immigrant, I assume). As you say, she makes choices which both fit perfectly into the world and help to expand it. Adaine being from Fallinel enriches our experience of Elmville. Misty being from Faeirie enriches our experience of NYC. Iga being from Poland enriches our experience of NYC.

[@CentaurTesticles]

Riva is a sheltered aquatic alien who is finally learning the galaxy can be AWFUL! 😁😁

[@pencils7351]

As someone who loves the Far Traveler background, my experience definitely plays into that. I'm not an immigrant, and I've lived mostly in a single county my entire life, but in my childhood we moved _a lot._ I went to 4 different elementary schools and 2 different middle schools, and as a kid, your whole world is your school and your neighborhood. I was the new kid four times before I turned 14, and two times before I was 8. The culture and everything was all pretty similar, but the specific people around me and the established social dynamics were vastly different each time. I had to restart the process of making and maintaining friendships several times as an ADHD weird kid, which increases the difficulty a lot So I'm pretty familiar with being thrown into a completely new place and having to survive socially with very little established knowledge to draw on. It's something pretty integral to my being, I'm not even sure if i could play someone who's been in the same place their entire life, bc I just don't have the experience to understand that

[@cherry_top]

Most recently Sleeping Beauty discovering how common ppl live compared to the rules, expectations, and “happily ever after” she is thrust upon as a fairy tale princess

[@paragonjones13]

You are SO RIGHT!! Riva especially encapsulates Siobhan's entire outlook on character building!

[@tikalupit]

Adaine's scene with Jawbone and Misty's with the American Dream are my favorites of the season so thank you for the Siobhan love!

[@daalimbe]

God, I remember watching the unsleeping city finale and reaching the "my love" scene and just choking up on the bus, I was getting through one of the toughest semesters of college because of a combination of depression and burn out, and that scene just pulled at that part of me that loved my art and writing, through it all, it's always going to be my first love, my biggest dream (also the Adaine and Jawbone scene was so important to me, goddamn, thank you for everything Siobhan Thompson!)

[@eskimpertush]

Just stumbled into your video and cannot pass up the chance to sing praises for Siobhan as a player. She may not have Ally's iconic nat 20s or Emily's combat prowess, but she's the brains of the group. How she always stumps Brennan and the rest of the table with how knowledgeable she is of the setting, without it being meta game-y is a delight to watch.

[@fatim0nster]

Oh but she does have Emily's combat prowess, it just so happens that her moments either have smaller kill count, damage total, or she prefers to make actions that help other players shine. She's a fantastic and incredibly creative team player. Remember the way she used Web so that she and other players would throw concrete golem off balance in FH? What about that time she used Dimension Door to teleport above the spell-cancelling bubble, bypassing it and allowing a martial character to get close to the lich in the Stock Exchange battle in TUC?

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

[@skyboy7244]

Siobhan is my favourite D20 player, so I’m always sad that it feels like she’s the least appreciated of the main cast. Great video 😊

[@hoid9407]

Same here. As a forever DM Siobhan is easily the player I would want at my table. She invests in the world, she plays to the other players' strengths, and she is ALWAYS enjoying herself.

[@liamross340]

Adaine is one of my favourite fictional characters of all time. Siobhan often falls into a leadership role but in a very subtle way. The rest of the table will almost always listen to what she has to say and follow suit. She’s incredibly intelligent and so goddamn funny and roleplays excellently. Adaine’s relationship with Aelwyn is one of the best pieces of roleplaying i’ve ever seen. And she does this all without hogging any spotlight (not that I think any of the d20 players do) but she does have a great amount of restraint. Her characters have so much heart and just based on the characters she likes to play you can feel how kind funny and smart she is. I don’t necessarily think she’s overlooked I think everyone gets a lot of love but she’s not talked about that much and I’m glad that’s changing

[@ninajane9098]

I love siobhan as a player shes so smart with it but supports everyone at the table. Her characters have flaws but are realistic. And she will instantly back up a bit no hesatation. Her outfits are also amazing

[@AmourEtRespect]

On a more direct playing perspective, Siobhan really is the one that cements the whole party together by always putting herself in the middle ground. Even when the story focuses on her character she always leaves room for other players to interact, and never completely disappears when not in the spotlight. It helps compressing the highs and lows of other more intense or chaotic players toward a more stable center, which is perfect for a show like D20.

[@CalumanderTube]

It’s very telling how good Siobhan is at putting her characters in the world, when on multiple seasons there is a fight almost solely based around her character. Aelwyn at The House Party, Her Opening Night on Broadway, Majority of the Falinel arc. Honourable Mention to the Neverafter Princesses. She’s rarely the main character but she always gets her main character moment which I just love.

[@JLMac322]

Minor point, but I LOVE the voice that Siobhan puts on for Misty!

[@math9172]

It's also a great detail that when she reincarnates into Rowan Berry she changes her voice a bit.

[@math9172]

Siobhan is definitely the most underrated member of D20, so thank you very much for your video. She also is genuinely an excellent mechanical player. Her move with Riva in StarStruck Odyssey when she teleported into an enemy ship and one shot basically the entire crew?? When she Scried Kalina in Fantasy High season 2 using the divination Nat 1. Basically her entire gameplay as Misty Moore in USC. (And I am surely forgetting a ton of other moments). And of course finally she's IMO the one with the best roleplay capabilities. She feels very connected to her character and does not hesitate to make decisions that on a meta level as a player she full well knows aren't optimal, but are what the character would do (Like with Iga in USC when she was very reluctant to join or help the group because of her fear of magic). Anyway Siobahn rules, she might not be the most abrasive, chaotic or loud but she definitely is a crucial part of the cast, and her absence is very noticeable when she's missing.

[@sanjuseesstuff]

Rosumand as a princess whose perspective has changed and Riva being the alien psychic who is naïve truly cement this notion as well.

[@BestgirlJordanfish]

Her dedication in looking at a setting and responding to it is amazing. The presence of her characters instantly enriches the world. Highly recommend for other players here!! Don’t paste your character concept or build into a game, learn about your setting and other stories and then make a characters who lives there! Oh my god it makes a difference.

[@claudiolentini5067]

This advice is golden

[@CindersSpot]

I have worked with many DMs and none of them give me proper information about the world or genre when asked beforehand. Many campaigns are set in bland fantasy worlds and most DMs don't even know what genre their game is.

[@Vector-th8dr]

One thing I love about Siobhan's play is her undercover chaos. While Emily is very explicitly chaotic, Siobhan is quieter. I often think of her as an instigator, like when she told Lou that she'll pay him twenty dollars if he swallowed the little orange hat. She wanted to start some chaos, and used Lou as a weapon for it. As much as she makes Brennan's life as a DM easier, she is completely willing to cause absolute chaos. Often using the other people at the table to do it.

[@Trefox87]

Her and Lou are great foils for Brennan in my eyes because they play off, with and against him so well

[@corneliastreet2491]

I also love her in Um, Actually. She dominates and it feels so rewarding. She’s just so charismatic and intelligent but not in an obnoxious, throw it in your face type way.

[@scottwagner2566]

As a DM myself who just started watching D20 (Finished first Season of Fantasy High and am currently on Unsleeping City), Siobhan has been my favorite so far, and I wasn't sure exactly why. You've put it in words for me.

[@thatlycantomboy]

Hadestown is still very much worth seeing live! And thank you for showing the love for Misty Moore. As a theater director, she's my favorite Siobhan character and my favorite on Unsleeping City.

[@lilithreusch2614]

One thing that I really appreciate about Adine as a character is that she keeps evolving. In the first season, her main conflict is around her anxiety. Then, in the second season, you can *tell* that she's gone through character development because suddenly she's this amazing, spiteful, hilarious character that's just so much fun to watch. Fantasy High has a lot of fantastic characters, but Adine is consistently fun to watch no matter what's going on. It's really phenomenal.

[@sunnybloom7272]

Siobhan is honestly tied for my favourite member of the dome cause of one reason: her utter commitment to the character and the energy, from my first love Misty/Rowan blending a grounded immigrant story of home and belonging and a fantastical story of fae and the merit of adoration, to her underrated run as Sleeping Beauty as someone lost but wanting to find love and purpose on her own, to her more comedic characters like Imelda Pulse in Mentopolis and Jaysohn in Burrows End. Regardless of the circumstances everything character wise is real and expressed in Siobhan and it feels just so sincere I love it and her so much, plus I love a more subtle presence of quiet wit in the dome.

[@topherhilberg5076]

Great video! I also like that Siobhan leans into her character’s flaws, even when that makes her character less likeable. Adaine is pretty rude and stuck up, particularly at first, and really hates her sister, although it is mostly deserved. Misty, while fun, is also vain and very selfish, and is terrible to her assistant. I love that Siobhan doesn’t just make likeable sympathetic characters.

One time I tried to create a character that was a "recovering edgelord". He was raised by a family of people who worshipped a dark god and ran away with his little sister to start a new life. I felt like I never really dialed into this character though. The way I played him, he just ended up being a full blown edge lord all the time lol. I think if I had played more into the idea of "searching for joy and light" it would have been a much different experience.

In the penultimate episode of Fantasy High: Freshman Year a character throws a Molotov cocktail he pulled from his jacket and Brennan doesn’t narrate that he lit it and Siobhan says ‘Was that lit?’ So quickly and it was such a hilarious moment

[@eddiemate]

Even better because she asks "Was that lit the whole time?" in character, which is both a fair reaction to that happening and establishing that it was actually lit.

[@jonathanpaullovell]

I do not suspect there is a great overlap between DnD and NBA fans, but here I go. Siobhan seems like a John Stockton, in that both their claims to fame are not in point scoring, but in setting up the assists for other players (whether they be the DM or PCs)

I’ll be honest, I had always liked Siobhan as a player but until recently I hadn’t realised how much I’d been sleeping on her as a player. Fantasy High Junior Year specifically was what made me realise it, when after the party everyone is talking and they more or less go "god I’m so drunk" (I'll admit I’m not good at analysis, I probably missed some subtle roleplaying elements) while Siobhan was roleplaying like she was a drunken mess. It’s that kind of immersion I always strive for as a player, and I’m so upset I didn’t notice it sooner.

My favourite part of this is the clips of Siobhan being praised by Brennan and emphatically agreeing with him. Yes! Yes, you don't have to be humble and meek - reject that English heritage and embrace your strengths!

Honestly, while my father isn’t the cold piece of shit Adaine had, that whole “mind of a researcher” speech I have heard too many times.

Excuse me, I'm Chuckles Nightwalker, Darkstar's missing older brother. Please don't throw shade at my brother, he does smile whenever his blades cut through his enemies' necks completely.

You need to talk to your brother

[@castlecaster]
