I love Lou Wilson so much. I love the pure tenacity he brings to committing to bits. Brennan said "Lose control of a bodily function in front of someone" and, as Siobhan pointed out, he could have replied "Throw up in front of my adventuring party" but he said "Poop my pants both in class and onto my teacher." Brennan did not say the poop had to go on someone. He added that part. Incredible roleplaying choice, so powerful.

Yeah man. His top notch humor is improvised poop joke. He's definitely one of the best out There. But for real lou is cool I like him better than most on their squad. But still if your going to talk highly on a dudes humor or whatever try to aim for higher than s poop joke yanno.

@@illerhumpy3867 You see my good fellow, nowhere in the comment above did they actually mention the humour or funniness of the choice of roleplay that Lou committed to. They were showing their admiration for Lou and praising his willingness to put himself and his character in a categorically much worse place than he needs to, solely for the purpose of dedicated roleplay and memorable entertainment. Had he simply barfed in front of the other intrepid heroes it wouldn't have been much of a moment, but projectile pooping onto his teacher leading to a student quitting school and renouncing their dreams forever, is, though perhaps not the peak of humour, a much more memorable moment in my humble opinion.

@@illerhumpy3867The point isn’t “haha poop funny”, the point is Lou chose to make the curse manifest in a situation with actual risks/consequences, rather than letting his character get off easy, so that the curse can actually have some sort of narrative or character impact rather than just be a throwaway bit.

Brennan said "bodily function", not "bodily fluid." Lou could have taken it literally instead of as a euphemism, and just sneezed or gotten the hiccups. Maybe he got a cramp in his leg, or gained a level of exhaustion because he couldn't sleep for a night. It didn't have to be gross, it didn't have to be absolutely disgusting and a big mess.

There's a very thin line between Ally's "I do this for a bit and I'm fully committing to it because it'd be funnier to fall 10 stories going for an impossible acrobatic maneuver with -3 dex", and Lou's "this is not a bit, this is exactly what would happen if I'm trusting my dedication to my character". It's a very thin, almost imperceptible line, but I'm sure it's there somewhere.

Lou simultaneously impresses me and freaks me out with his decisions. He seems to enjoy nothing more than setting Fabian up with as great an ego as possible before having it crash down even harder. I swear the guy cannot let Fabian KEEP a win. He will let Fabian GET a win. Several even. But he does not keep them.
Fabian has helped save the world multiple times, killed the backup principal, became maximum legend, AND is the future of dance. I think Quincy can cut him some slack

That isn't cringe at all, in my opinion. Fabian's bodily malfunction is cringe-inducingly socially isolating, but the teacher firmly stating that he shouldn't be ostracised for this one-off freak accident is incredibly sweet. This event doesn't speak to the quality of Fabian's character, only alluding to potential health issues, but in a stereotypical high school setting it could realistically destroy his social standing. The educator immediately stepping in to contextualize the circumstances and mitigate harm is ideal caretaking.
Idk why, but all I Heard was careless whispers when Quincy said he'll never dance again

In Adventuring Party, Zac pointed out that Brennan gave Lou some amount of control as to what happened. Lou said , essentially, yes, but Brennan knows the kind of choices of big choices he makes. Lou always swings for the fences role-play. I respect that.
There's NO way our bard is retaining his "Maximum Legend" status after that tragedy.
This scene made me so hysterical i almost passed out 😭😭😭
He committed so hard that even Brennan felt bad and took it easy on him, cause Lou will never be the one to take it easy on himself when it comes to roleplaying

I loved this so much oh my gosh- I absolutely lost it during this entire episode, but particularly during this moment. The way Lou plays Fabian is amazing because he is the coolest guy in the group (and we believe it) AND he fails in the most spectacular ways. He leans into failures with double nat one energy and I fucking love it 😂😂

One thing I will say about Lou is he always takes big swings and really commits to what his character Would Do even if it's something Awful for him
Going back to this near the finale is so good, not just because of the scene, but because Brennan takes it as a chance to add another rage-filled interaction that players may remember later as the plot unfolds. I'm so impressed by that.
I adore Terpsicore oh my god
We've just witnessed a barbarian's origin story. Rage on, Quincy. Rage on.

He wouldn't have given the option to choose your punishment to anybody else at the table but didn't hesitate to give it to Lou. I love Lou as a player.

This is exactly how junior year of regular highschool feels
Watching the glee on Brennans face as a party fully understands, engages and strategizes around his mechanics and NPCs is something all DMs hope for.
I've learned from previous seasons that that may not be the last time we see Quincy.
Watching this out of context without understanding anything might even be better
emilys cackle is so good lol
You can see him grappling with whether to minimize the damage or commit to the bit... and boy do we know what he picked
"The worst of all possible worlds" is so right
I feel like spell to benifit you could be allowed at a cost, though it's a tricky balance thing you wouldn't want to do off handedly.

my first impression of lou was in a rando video and i hadn’t seen him speak yet. my immediate thought was “this guy looks like a shit i’m not gonna like him.” and then he opened his mouth introduced himself (SAME NAME TWIN 🤞) and told ONE joke and i was hooked.
Could Lou have said "Puke in the cafeteria" to mitigate disaster to him and the party? Yes. But Lou is an entertainer, and a professional one at that. So of COURSE he has to choose "Shit my pants."

This is a repeated habit at this point, Lou is all about realism... Not the actual events themselves being realistic, but the fact that they would occur being real as hell
I know being shat on is rough but I don't think Quincy's outburst was fully fueled by the Cleveland Steamer that was dropped on his chest. I mean, I'd be fully raging at that circumstance by itself but by no means would I attack the campus and drop out of Bard School. That's not what bards do. A real bard would have seduced that turd. We all know it's true. Poor Quincy. I hope he can get his life back on track and leave that shit in the past.
I think this might be what convinces me to actually pay to watch dimension 20
I came back to wonder if Fig took the Rage token for him, would that have helped her gain rage for her Barbarian class? I don't think I'm getting the full details related to the rage token...and Brennan asking, "You suure?" was...hinty? Edit - Me, after watching Ep 19:😮
