Erika Taught Brennan Something About Himself in Misfits & Magic

Evan Kelmp's flaws weren't entirely planned #shorts #dimension20

[MangoBirb]

They found a character flaw that was truly just a Brennan flaw 😂😂😢

[JayEyedWolf]

His description and expression at "oh that's not good? We- we don't do that...?" Is so painfully relatable

[grey]

Aabria said most DMs are service tops and she shot me with that line.

[crispycrimson]

I love Brennan so much, everytime he's on screen it's like free therapy

[henriquesouza]

I had a player who has an edgelord character tear up because the "responsible moral compass" player's character said some truths to him and the edgelord later confessed to me he heard his own dad in those words... Talk about silly games to escape reality.

I’m pretty sure Erika/K came for A LOT of viewers with that sniper shot.

[Yurei-Shii]

As someone with a people-pleasing thing... That moment spoke to me on a spiritual level. That it also poked Brennan down to his soul was something I didn't expect.

[xiajiplayss]

As someone who also doesn't think of themselves as good unless they're useful, Erika sniped me too

[mandipandi]

That moment in Misfits and Magic hit me so hard. So relatable. You could see on Brennan's face that Erika's comment rocked him as a person, not a player.

[sourwitch]

It's really giving "that's not a character flaw, it's normal... we're all like this... why are you looking at me like that?" and I think that's incredible. and the blatant way he shared that here

[canarysilvertail]

"You understand!?"
Yall that was terror in his voice because someone saw his heart! Which, as a human being, is the most terrifying experience if you weren't expecting it.

The way Brennan had Evan make the decision not to leave the school and lose the only friends he ever had with the VERY on the nose line “I’m not leaving, I can help my friends.” and didn’t realize that was a character flaw until Erika pointed it out is fucking hysterical. Boy who doesn’t do something incredibly self destructive because he realized he can be useful and therefore valuable is DEFINITELY not a character flaw what are you talking about???

[chew_]

Damn she was coming straight for that “gifted kid” energy in a lot of us 😂

[TBoring]

Raise you hand if in addition to this you never ask for help and want to be totally self reliant because you don’t want to feel like a burden.

[Alasor]

For those curious when this takes place during the show: It's episode 4 of Misfits and Magic

Brennan says "I'm okay being magic, I can help my friends" @ 32:40

Erika says "He seems to believe that if he can be of some material use to us, that that validates his friendship with us in some way." @ 48:01 w/ Brennan's reaction @ 48:09

[excrubulent]

I grew up with a mentally disabled sibling, and loving someone like that is a pretty powerful antidote to this way of thinking. They will never "contribute to society" in any way that makes money or any material goods. That doesn't matter, you love them just like any other person because they're there, they're a full-time person and they're not going anywhere else. They have the full range of human emotion. You can't live with that person every day and still think that your worth is in your ability.

[acelibrarian]

This sort of thing is why D&D is being used as a therapy and social skill building exercise. I know someone who runs games specifically with the goal of better mental health, and they ROCK. I had so much fun at one of their one shots.

[TheLegendOZelda]

She didn’t just snipe to the duplex door she sniped straight through the fourth wall clear through to my self image

[jobjik]

Sometimes I can be harsher on myself than my strict parents to be the most useful, the best version of me. And to hear that I can actually have worth without having to prove it to myself or someone else is just mind blowing.

[genuineinterest]

"No, no Erika, they're laughing, stop" gets me every time.
