Also he has to keep up the Maskerade even once he’s released from Arthur Augefort! He had to fulfill the whole thing before he revealed himself or else he would be super dead.
"I'm gonna level with you, I actually took a class on managing students that--" "You're attracted to" "ALRIGHT, BYE!!" is like my favorite bit on improv
the fact that the twist of goldenrod being bad could have been very impactful if one of the heroes had gotten attached to him but instead they just flirted and belittled him so they felt no pain in killing him and literally took a nap while doing so
idk if you've ever been a kid but like, when *I* was a kid all I ever felt toward vice principals was "oh great, the fun police. Get away from me." and I was a GOOD kid, so
Goldenrod’s like having a trapped genie that’s already evil But he still has to like. Be a genie “I AM A FULL GROWN DRAGON” “Oh my god I’m not READY for that!”
I go by many names Vice principal Goldenhoard Principal Goldenhoard Kalvaxis Kalvaxis Emperor of The Red Waste Emperor of The Red Waste But there is ONE NAME that I UTTERLY DESPISE, and that name is... Golden... Goldenrod
I like to think Goldenhoard being the Big Bad wasn't originally Brennan's plan, but Fig gave him so much shit he became the only logical choice to want to destroy them all.
I can't believe I forgot to put that in!!! I was so focused on Fig and Goldenrod's "thing" during the fight that it totally slipped my mind when writing down the timestamps.
fun fact: goldenrod flowers can symbolise caution. admittedly they can also symbolise encouragement and good fortune, but i'm choosing to ignore those- though, they could also fit if u stretch it a little
@@graceholland118 this also makes more senss after in season 2 Aguefort gives them Kalvaxus' gold from his hoard and warns them that they should spend or invest their gold, given that gold from a dragon's hoard is cursed.
Even knowing how the season ultimately turns out, Goldenhoard still throws me off in those early scenes. "I am the Emperor of the Red Wastes and I will be returned to my own heinous glory!" -Also- "Okay, this kid is clearly having some sort of emotional breakdown and I feel bad about giving her detention."
What I find interesting is that Goldenrod correctly wondered if Adaine has a medical condition (anxiety attacks) 2:53. The Big Bad, someone who hates children in general, still is more aware of her condition than her own parents.
I feel bad about thinking Fig’s behavior towards Golden Hoard is so funny! It’s terrible and would be a nightmare in real life, but somehow it’s just comedic here.
Can you imagine if he wasn't the bad guy? We would have him being flirted upon by Fig and feeling very uncomfortable for the whole second season. This and Gorgug's "are you my dad" thing was the funniest thing
@@Delilah_Anne Nope, it was Goldenhoard! Episode one, around an hour and 40 minutes in. After having to chase him was when Goldenhoard actually gave Riz the detention
Why is no one comentting the 09:50 ~ 09:53 moment where Brennan just walks himself into a trap saying "I am going to eat you" as a RESPONSE to her insinuating
coming back to this video in 2024 where *****fantasy high jr yr spoiler***** riz is looking for the ghostly rogue teacher. Fig almost accidentally passed rogue classes her freshman year by stealing the ghost steak.
i just binged this whole thing, and went back to rewatch some stuff, and it’s so obvious that the emperor of the *red* wastes who is a *dragon* and needs his *gold* *riches* was *goldenhoarde* all along, a *red* *dragon*-creature
The fact that Fig casually smokes clove cigs and drinks mint schnapps in front of "Golden Rod" and Brennan never says anything until it becomes overt in his eulogy in the second day of school when Fig says "Here, here!", and raises her flask. So funny. Ps: And she's frickin' 15...
I wonder if it was originally Brennan’s plan to make Goldenhoard the ultimate bad guy in the end. Prior to Fig deciding she hated him, he was usually portrayed as being very reasonable and compassionate. I wonder if her vendetta against him changed the direction Brennan planned for him.
When he said "young lady," in his deep voice. What should have been said was: "Look sir, you deepening your voice isn't proving to me that you don't want me... in fact, this is just proving my point that you want to get X-rated with me."
0:53 SPOILERS!!! At the end of the day he did play into her hand. Detention led to the group and the group led to his demise and ultimate humiliation in the lower planes 🤣
@@just_an_eldritch_god5930 no, bards have a feature called "Jack of All Trades" that lets them add half their proficiency bonus to ability checks that don't already add their full proficiency.
Fig subverting the "bard seduces the dragon" cliché without even knowing it while still being a bard flirting with a dragon ? Amazing.
Haha yes, you cannot escape the stereotype
Nice👍😆😂
Doesn't that mean she's not subverting the cliche at all? Do you people even read your own sentences before posting them...?
@@RDR911 Chill
@@RDR911 r u alright dude? wanna vent out something deep?
I like how he's actually a semi-responsible vice-principal despite being evil.
Hey being evil isn't an excuse to be lackluster in your duties
He’s LAWFUL EVIL!
Also he has to keep up the Maskerade even once he’s released from Arthur Augefort! He had to fulfill the whole thing before he revealed himself or else he would be super dead.
It’s unclear to me exactly how much he remembers of his real life while he’s under the enchantment.
I like how they try to find a trust worthy adult and immediately go to the big bad
I know right
Fantasy high in a nutshell
Too be fair, at that point the best person to do to was the bad teacher because he would be the least likely to get police involved.
tbf goldenrod was a pretty chill dude that fig just liked messing with until the big reveal
They technically went to aguefort first and then he killed himself so they had to find someone else. I feel like Brennan maybe was leading them there.
The way this nickname actually got her out of trouble several times simply because it drove him away is just the best.
freaking out a whole dragon so much he just fucking leaves is peak fig
"I'm gonna level with you, I actually took a class on managing students that--"
"You're attracted to"
"ALRIGHT, BYE!!"
is like my favorite bit on improv
6:38
the fact that the twist of goldenrod being bad could have been very impactful if one of the heroes had gotten attached to him but instead they just flirted and belittled him so they felt no pain in killing him and literally took a nap while doing so
i mean gorging did think he was his dad for a hot second so
@Sophia Aguirre "quit it *dad*!"
the only appropriate relationship to forge with your vice principal
jourjug
idk if you've ever been a kid but like, when *I* was a kid all I ever felt toward vice principals was "oh great, the fun police. Get away from me." and I was a GOOD kid, so
Gotta love adines’ line, “I am a child, you are attacking children”
“I have a mental illness”, she’s great
adaine pulled the “i’m literally a minor and neurodivergent” card
Brennan portrays a disgruntled authority figure so well
that's basically what he is when dming 😂
Literally any dm
He apparently does have many years experience as a camp counselor….
Because DMs often are, or become, the disgruntled authority figure of a campaign party
And then somehow is able to be the best libertarian and/or anarchist halfling. The RANGE
sometimes I wish goldenrod wasnt the bigbad purely because he was just so funny
I think its better that way because of the context
yeah, but it works so well as the bbeg
Goldenrod’s like having a trapped genie that’s already evil
But he still has to like. Be a genie
“I AM A FULL GROWN DRAGON”
“Oh my god I’m not READY for that!”
Respect to Siobhan's acting. She looks like she's going to cry when Goldenrod is giving Adaine detention.
Hell yeah! She's soo good :D
I like how his name is just NOT his name anymore
It's a thing Emily does. Like in Naddpod: Pietr become Peetree, Pentaghost becomes Pendergreens
I even forgot his actual name
@J Allen Kalvaxus*
I go by many names
Vice principal Goldenhoard
Principal Goldenhoard
Kalvaxis
Kalvaxis Emperor of The Red Waste
Emperor of The Red Waste
But there is ONE NAME that I UTTERLY DESPISE, and that name is...
Golden... Goldenrod
If Emily has a name for something it WILL not change
Plot twist: bill seacaster was actually only in hell to be kalvaxis’ punishment, and it’s his heaven
That checks out honestly
well no, he committed several atrocities. he just usurped the position of the devil lords
he was sent to hell by one of the heaven guys to take hell down from the inside
@@AlphaPizzadogone man’s hell is another man’s heaven
@@AlphaPizzadog cant he have hobbies smh
"Permission granted, Ball." Such a throwaway line for one of the best recurring jokes in d&d history.
4:36 that little 'Bye' from Emily and the fact that Brennan waved a little before realizing that probably wasnt intentional killed me everytime
ALDJAKF oh i didnt notice that
Lmaook
goldenhoard's frustration at fig accusing him of "flirting" is my new favorite thing
"Immediate detention" is one of my FAVORITE line deliveries from Brennan, it's so underrated to me. Lmao.
"It's not my name, and I guess that's funny to children."
adine really said “actually I’m neurodivergent and a minor, you’re shooting fire at a neurodivergent minor right now”
Love how Fig had this relationship with the big bad from the start of the season, long before we knew he was the big bad
I like to think Goldenhoard being the Big Bad wasn't originally Brennan's plan, but Fig gave him so much shit he became the only logical choice to want to destroy them all.
The best thing is brennan getting SO PISSED at fig trying to seduce this goddamn Big Bad
I am very surprised no one accused Goldenrod of being into vore after threatening to eat fig
They basically did, just no one said specifically vore.
I can't believe you didn't include goldenrod being a libertarian
I can't believe I forgot to put that in!!! I was so focused on Fig and Goldenrod's "thing" during the fight that it totally slipped my mind when writing down the timestamps.

9:25 This particular interaction followed by everyone's reaction to it, will never stop making roll on the floor
The whole bit was fantastic. "OMG im not ready for that"
This is just one of the most bardic things I've ever seen :D
Honestly the most disappointing part of Goldenhoard is that gorgug didnt call him daddy
He kind of did.
@@Ebvardh yeah but "daddy no!" Wouldve been so much funnier than "dad stop it"
FATHER STOP THIS

Perhaps stealing the ghost professor's lunch was a mist steak
Underrated joke omg

"I am the Emperor of the Red Wastes and I will be returned to my own heinous glory!"
-Also-
"Okay, this kid is clearly having some sort of emotional breakdown and I feel bad about giving her detention."
I had in my head that every time Fig tried to flirt with Goldenhorn his brain played "Don't stand so close to me"

11:15 I love Brennans "shut the fuck up" sounds so defeated 😂😂😂😂
I like that even to this day...I still only remember his name being Goldenrod
I know he turned out to be evil but I still love him
The entirety of fantasy high and fantasy high live is still fig’s two step.
i LOVED how fig and goldenrod talked, the whole student teacher love thing, i was crying...
Some of these interactions are cast in a different light after the finale.
What I find interesting is that Goldenrod correctly wondered if Adaine has a medical condition (anxiety attacks) 2:53. The Big Bad, someone who hates children in general, still is more aware of her condition than her own parents.
I feel bad about thinking Fig’s behavior towards Golden Hoard is so funny! It’s terrible and would be a nightmare in real life, but somehow it’s just comedic here.
I love how well goldenrod really played the “frustrated vice principal” character before being revealed as the big bad
I wish we got to see ghost professor
Can you imagine if he wasn't the bad guy? We would have him being flirted upon by Fig and feeling very uncomfortable for the whole second season. This and Gorgug's "are you my dad" thing was the funniest thing
Emily is a genius for this flirting bit.
"I'm going to eat you!"
"Woah, I am not ready for that!"
The jokes write themselves.
goldenhoarde actually acting like a predator putting fig under the frightened condition was such an eerie detail
It's just really funny how uncomfortable Goldenhoard gets lol
This is great cause it is half a "best of fig" compilation!
How could you not include the part of episode 1 where he chases Riz down the hall after the whole tea incident.
That was the other guy, the one that died right after that so their OC’s could be resurrected lol

Fig flirting with Goldenrod is one of the best recurring jokes of this series
Also the cut after I HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS is perfect
You’re attacking a bunch of children
Voice sure did morph over time, didn't it?
It really only morphed after we find out he’s evil
He was technically in his real form at the change so I believe it’s intentional
Goldenrod is best tsundere
yOU STOP THAT
Them all flipping off Goldenrod's mini was beautiful
Why is no one comentting the 09:50 ~ 09:53 moment where Brennan just walks himself into a trap saying "I am going to eat you" as a RESPONSE to her insinuating

coming back to this video in 2024 where *****fantasy high jr yr spoiler***** riz is looking for the ghostly rogue teacher. Fig almost accidentally passed rogue classes her freshman year by stealing the ghost steak.
I know, the moment of the reveal I was just going "THE GHOST STEAKS! THE GHOST STEEEEEAAAAAKS"
The Goldenrod Chant on the 25 charisma was SO funny
6:47-6:55 is my favorite part of this video! The “you stop it” at the end is just so funny to me

Fig’s not wrong, Dragonhoard is pretty handsome
These people act more like twenagers then i do and im a teenager
I’m dubious of your claim
Same
In my head cannon Fig instinctively knew that Goldenrod was bad boy
I love how everyone just started bullying him immediately
Brandon's golden rod's voice reminds me of one of my teachers from high school, who is now a vice principal.
My favorite s1 character
The fact that Fig casually smokes clove cigs and drinks mint schnapps in front of "Golden Rod" and Brennan never says anything until it becomes overt in his eulogy in the second day of school when Fig says "Here, here!", and raises her flask.
So funny.

How does Fig have a +6 to Charisma?
