Ep. 77 Hasanabi WillNeff Power Hour BONUS [Video]

Ocean

Yeah coming from the future, damn QT is was 100 right! God damn!

LordeofClover777

Qt was unfortunately extremely vindicated on this.

Conner

Crazy how they mention Moonmoon specifically 😬

M

here after moonmoon cheats on his wife with his rp girlfriend

Isabel

ayo michigan gang rise up :D

M

watching this again after the nick and malena break up and im still on qt's side

ROBERT STEPHENS

I'm fairly sure most people think that doing RP in a videogame or a D&D group, especially for content, wouldn't be considered flirting IRL. It has nothing to do with being a n actor or not and everything to do with commiting to a character. In addition almost all RP relationships are done with an intent to be funny and not taken seriously. I have only rarley seen anybody RP a couple in a serious (dramatic) way that wasn't meant to be played for laughs for themselves or the audience.

Madison Beck

Relationship RP is fine to me, but if it’s not for you then just talk to boyfriend about boundaries.

Avianna

The camera shots when Will was yawning got me

Stickweed

Just wanted to let you know that I love your profile picture

csales76

I did too, but in order for that to happen, one generally has to deviate from their routine. Austin and Will are always razzing him for not being into doing that, so... Well... He's got Kaya!! 🐶

LPP

For folks out of the loop: IC is “in-character”, OOC is “out of character”

Al

I think the reason QT brough up nicks character is because Jason is basically Nick, She doesn't bring up other GTA RP relationships, but Nicks isn't that much of a character compared to wills character per se. She's always had this sort of mindset so I understand if she's not comfortable, everyone has their own boundaries. Some people are more hurt by emotional cheating than physical. It's also clear she hasn't watched what Nick and Nora are doing, and is just glazing over the over arching "dating" scenario. I watch Nicks RP alot and it's just him being silly. If Malena wasn't comfortable with it, she would say it and Nick would stop.

bridget

as a Hoosier— Michigan is the gem of the Midwest. All the cities will mentioned are incredible

LPP

Steve Slatky

This was a fantastic episode. Qt has never said anything wrong.

Adam Romero

yeah its a shame that ProJared had to be a fucking creep

Kikis Solano

Austin & QT would lowkey be mid lmaooooo

Do You Speak Elite?

Loved when Caroline called in. Good stuff.

unseenfool

love this format, yall should do this but rotate the duos (ie qt and will, will and austin, austin and hasan ect) i love the normal show but having these little one on ones is so great

aj

Yooo that show introduced me to d&d when I was in middle school, I'm still lowkey sad about it.

Qwuiky

Also the hardest ep for Has ever to shit through ICANT😂🤫

Qwuiky

And nevermind this was full leakage and the best pod ep ever

Qwuiky

QT showing up flipped the entire script

Qwuiky

This is by far the single funniest ep of will on screen i cannot stop laughing

Colton Kubal

Iowa doesn’t even get included in the Midwest because people forget it exists sadge

LeahGia

I think there’s a difference in that acting usually follows a script whereas in RP the people doing it speak their own dialogue and steer the storyline. But either way, some people probably chose to not date actors as well because they aren’t comfortable with it while others wouldn’t give it a second thought.

LeahGia

It quite literally does work that way. Her entire argument is that Nick’s RP relationship works with him and Melena but if you apply that situation to a different set of people or herself it could be not okay. We’re all adults here. It shouldn’t be hard to comprehend. She talked more on stream the other day and said she knows about real world examples where problems did occur but she can’t talk about those because they aren’t public. Nora raided QT the other day and they both talked about being excited to meet each other IRL at the awards show. There’s no real drama. We’re also now somehow on an entirely different argument than what your initial comment was trying to suggest.

FangsFirst

Michigan as half the Midwest is *usually* a sure sign of someone not from the Midwest... given it's 1/12 states per the census bureau (grew up in one, live in another, one of my best friends lives in a third, used to drive through three when headed to relatives in upstate New York. None of them are Michigan...) Or, as here, someone from one of the more well-regarded Midwestern states.

Bryan

Michigan praise episode, let's gooooo

LeahGia

She literally just asked people to simply be kinder and your immediate response is to come here and suggest that her request is unjustified because she hasn’t been pleasing to you recently and that gives you an ick? You were actually triggered by her saying “be nicer”??

LeahGia

Honestly, this comment gives me such an ick.

Deaven Wink

Skill issue

Deaven Wink

Qt and maya are right

sidney tep

hasan with his grifter skin on is nice

Jad

I love most episodes just recently I have personally been not digging her lol

alexandria

imagine paying for the patreon just to hate

Sadhorsegirl

I thought Hasan had an SO?

Lonely_viking

god i love Qt so much

Rosalinda

I think if people know how to separate the two it’s fine. If they don’t they shouldn’t be doing RP at all. It’s goes to show you don’t know how to keep IC and OOC stuff separate which is a big no no in RP

Rosalinda

I’ve been watching Nopixel since before 2.0 and seen some relationship RP and it’s not that serious. Most of these people are single and or are in irl relationships they know how to separate IC to OOC. I think if you don’t know how to separate the two, you should not be doing RP at all. That goes for the fans too. I was a huge Curtis and Ellie fan during the Leanbois era but knew why they never got into the relationship RP. Some people aren’t comfortable with it and people need to respect that. QT takes on others RP is not it. Her personally not wanting Ludwig to do it IS also understandable. That’s HER relationship but it doesn’t apply to everyone else just because she doesn’t want it with Ludwig.

SONDREO GAMING

Fr best ep qt carried

Jad

QT complains about some watchers not liking her then proceeds to be such an annoying person lmfao it's so weird because I love her when she's on stream but idk recently she just gives me such an ick

jae ✨

wow. i think this is the first time i actually don't agree with qt. haha.

avrgatbest

As a Yooper from Michigan, I appreciate you Will 🥹

KyberShiesty

It doesn't work that way. You can't say just say "I don't think nick is the problem" after using his exact behavior verbatim from clips posted on LSF as the template for relationship role play and why it is not ok, it doesn't cancel out like that. If you don't want to comment about his role play, it never should have been brought up, let a lone be used as the example for the argument that it is weird and not ok.

MGN

You need to watch Nick and Nora's RP to understand that it's not a big deal. It's basically just them being PogO as possible. Not even remotely romantic.

Becca Rose

I think relationship RP is fine. Its a character. Its just acting.

benoverse

hassan being all cute at the end of the”it’s fine” 😂

avery holcombe

I think Nick doing it is different cause his whole twitch stream personally is about him being cringe.

Chacho

I'm with QT, feels very "work husband" lol

Veeron

Will's gym routine is a fucking phenomenal username

Veeron

also i agree w qt but i think its a subjective thing like some people are ok w it and some ppl arent, u just have to talk about it

Veeron

best ending to a pod in a while that was hilarious

bri

QTs point that some people can’t separate rp relationships in their brain is totally valid but those people should absolutely not be in real life relationships to begin with until they work on themselves. Also talking about Nick and Malena is parasocial af, it’s weird. Streaming is a job, some commenters need to go touch grass

Sean Stark

It’s literally acting. What about the actors that have to play a romantic role with someone who is not their partner? Is that not chill either?

N.N.

What happened to QT?

Stephanie Rodden

She needs to be on. She’s so good

KuraliRE

Enjoyed those first 20 mins of the pod had to turn it off then

Elaina Kirkland

please continue to include kaya in the pod, tysm

Sasha

I’m with QT on this RP thing and I’m pretty sure plenty of normies are like this. Also, venison is pretty common in Northern Ireland/Ireland lol

slimebagel

I’m 100% on QT and Maya’s side. Online RP in any form would make me so uncomfortable. I would be really hurt - I get that it’s “silly” or whatever but it would definitely hurt my feelings lmao

Neck tat twink

You are a deeply annoying person stfu

kyleeflowers

poly enjoyers support will :salute:

pickleswithfish

nick was really sad after watching this episode 😔

bl00dzee

Yeah that’s my point although it could sound like a dig at face value Caroline knows it’s understandable to have those reservations knowing QTs past. But it was still really funny lol

Kylie B

I disagree with QT’s take - they keep saying Will and Caroline are different because they’re actors, but there’s plenty of cases where actors in relationships continued their onscreen relationships offscreen (ie Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie). If you’re with a cheater, they’ll find a way to cheat 🤷🏻‍♀️

My_Little_Teddy_Bear

I think also that qt haven't seen any of the RP. And how unserious it is haha

My_Little_Teddy_Bear

With RP I think it would be more of an ick. It's OK if it's funny but if it overly lovey bubby I would off myself too. But from cringe.

RG

Kaya is adorable 🥺❤️

LeahGia

she quite literally said she doesn’t think Nick is a problem. she brought it up by asking Will and Hasan what they think about the topic.

KyberShiesty

Yeah but in this situation, QT is the chatter. She didn't even watch nick's streams before making up her mind, She just saw the clips that were posted on LSF, where nick is clearly farming, and decided to bring it up on the podcast to talk about how what he is doing is not ok, and that she would kill herself I her SO did what he is doing.

ManlyTorchic

I’m just surprised Hasan still has a mtn dew voodoo in the house😱

tito_993

1) great episode 2) im on azan and wills side about RP acting 3) this set looks looks good but terribly uncomfortable. i would need somewhere to put my feet up and lean back into a cozy cushion.

bb

they all died in self suck incidents

LeahGia

Last week, some comments were calling Will pretentious and elitist for his view on Subway/Dominos. This week, some are calling QT insecure, controlling, and delusional for having a personal boundary with RPing relationships. I wonder who will be next… 🤣 but in all seriousness, you can share your own view without trying to tear them down personally for theirs.

LeahGia

This feels a bit harsh in my opinion. You can have full faith and still have an irrational moment of insecurity from time to time due to past trauma. If RPing full relationships is a compromise you can’t make, then that’s fine for you. But I also don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone else to say you can do/play whatever you want but I think it would make me uncomfy if you streamed RPing a full relationship with someone that we know for thousands to watch even if it’s just improv. I think the streaming element makes it a bit different for QT too because chatters can be dumb and parasocial.

Alex

QT is right about most things, but she couldn’t have a worse take on relationship RP

Alex

A lot of the Midwest hate is deserved. But also, Minnesota is currently one of the most progressive states in the US

gamerleg

i love how the thumbnail is just will sitting alone like everyone else is dead or something

Maxamazing

can we get timestamps. They won't be links but just add them in the comments

Chatters_Mom

Everyone has their own relationships boundaries. That's all.

kuza

I am a woman and I half agree with QT it depends on the person. most people can be professional but some people make it weird and cross boundaries outside of the RP space

Juliet Saxton

Low-key everyone is allowed their own relationship boundaries, lol, you guys have to chill in the comments. Just state your opinion without attacking QT goddamn

Isaac Elston

I disagree with QT but guys wtf are these comments, you can disagree and not attack her, cmon either take yourselves less seriously or get some help bc you might secretly just hate QT and are using this as a way to attack her

Isaac Elston

Relax, dickhead

Alex szakovits

Very insecure

Alex szakovits

QT is officially A DEEPLY UNSERIOUS AND OR DEEPLY INSECURE PERSON

TenaciousDealer

I mean it's not even mean, she's being understanding. QT has a lot of trauma in this area from being repeatedly cheated on by multiple exes, so like Caroline said it's completely understandable that QT would have that apprehension with regards to relationship RP.

Raphael Soohoo

I don't agree with QT's RP take, but I've never done relationship RP. I also mostly play D&D and other TTRPG; my games are more traditional adventure stories. I just have no interest in RPing a relationship, but if people do, that's valid. It's character exploration. If one of my DM's put it in front of me I'd be willing to give it a shot, but I'm not going to say "hey can you add this in I want to do this". It's just about comfort level and what you want out of your role play.

MitraKesava

My female Dwarven Cleric is in a penpal relationship with a character the DM introduced that is a Privateer sailor/swordsmen. Whenever we reach town my character eagerly rushes to see if she has new letter from her dashing rogue. I am a straight man that personally feels nothing for this made up pirate boy with all kinds of red flags, but Thovira Sharpspear thinks he's the hunkiest thing she's ever met. It's pretend, a made up story, it allows us to play with tropes and try our hands at storytelling.

MitraKesava

This. It would make me so feel untrusted and disrespected to think my partner doesn't believe I know the difference between "play" and reality. Everyone has boundaries and handles things their own way, but if someone was as firm with me on this as QT is, I would probably have to break up with them. I DM D&D games, you think I've never roleplayed someone flirting with the homies? If my partner's insecurity was unable to deal with me having a roleplay hobby I would HAVE to end that relationship because they would be asking me to give up an outlet I really enjoy and get a lot out of.

Telisha

as someone who grew up on role playing chat sites the characters have their own relationships, lol, it feels so separate.

Riley

CAROLINE AS 5th HOST NOW

Riley

Will by himself is everything I needed for my monthly subscriptions.

Adam Llewellyn

There's no issue with RPing a relationship, it's literally more ridiculous than being mad at your partner for doing kissing scenes or whatever on movies. Sure you can say it'll make you feel uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean it's wrong lol, it means you're insecure and need to work on that.

KyberShiesty

I couldn't imagine having such LITTLE faith in your significant other that you can't trust them to be able to do silly role play in a video game without developing real feelings. I would feel so infantilized if my SO felt the need to establish boundaries on how I play a computer game, and tell me what kind friendship/relationships I am and am not allowed to role play with my make believe character in a video game.

bl00dzee

QT: “But wouldn’t you be sad?” Caroline: “No, but I understand why YOU would.” lmaooo it’s 10x funnier because Caroline wasn’t even trying to be mean she was just being honest

LeahGia

oh I knew it was joke no worries lmao

M

im with QT on this that would make me uncomfortable af

Mary Fuller

Sorry QT, as a woman I can't take your side on this one 😂

Isaac

I’m with QT on this.

Nicole trujillo

my ass would die if my bf was RPing a relationship

Jasmine Fears

I definitely see where QT is coming from. If i was dating someone that was RPing a relationship I would uncomfortable. But as a viewer the content has been incredible

Derrick

The end of that had me in stitches!

CORINNE STATEN

As someone who lives near Dearborn and goes there a lot. It’s got a great food scene not just Arabic food but soooo much think of a food and Dearborn’s got it

Alexis Crim

Slime is great but I think he was wrong to call someone out for trying to be positive.

Natalie

RP relationship makes sense if you’re a streamer and you’re making content. If not for content, probs not chill honestly.

Hanna Smith

will neff is gonna end my life with the hair, the fit, and the mustache. sir, i can’t breathe.

DSmith901

As a Memphian who works like 2 minutes from the Bass Pro Pyramid, it is very strange to hear about youngish people from L.A. planning a trip there.

A Silva

Oh I know, it was just a joke cause QT always says that about others not saying ILY back

LeahGia

fucked up is the correct assessment but we all know QT loves Caroline. she’s secured a converted spot on the short list of women that QT knows after all.

Payton

QT I am a woman and hard disagree with your RP take

Shut9690

Finally, the real show, The Will Neff Show.

Anthurium

I play dnd with my husband and we role play relationships with different people and I’ve never felt weird about it. I do understand if that’s a boundary that people don’t feel comfortable crossing or their partner crossing but I don’t think it’s a big deal. If you tell a partner that you’re uncomfortable with it and they get defensive and think you’re being clingy then it’s a problem.

Kyle Axling

Why is she so mean to them though:,)

Kombucha Papi

Honestly im surprised that hasan doesnt get people hyping up gypsy rose bc he usually looks at things w a political lense, and the one time he doesnt, thats where his answer lays. People are supportive of her as if to champion that we acknowledge the wrongdoings of the justice system in her case. People also do just see it as a tragedy overall like will was saying, but her situation was made unecessarily worse by locking up a person for being born into horrible circumstances and doing what they had to to get free. Its championing a victim of abuse that the legal system did dirty... i agree its also weird, but i get it.. in a way its championing any instance of someone being convicted into a punishment based system and calling that justice without being rehabilitative or caring about the context and nuance of what leads anyone into doing reprehensible things. People are supporting someone who deserves to live their best life after dealing w all that..

Daniel Sierra

Great idea I will try that. thanks!

Audrey Kleinschmidt

I’m with QT, the RP relationship thing feels like a “work husband” or “work wife”. It’s not crossing a boundary, but it’s edging it which is still uncomfortable.

Joseph Shinkle

I love Fear&, but patreon can't hold their shit together and it makes it hard to watch when I have to refresh the page and find out where I left off every 15 minutes.

MitraKesava

All the people asying their SO doing relationship RP would make them want to "end it all" could clearly never date a professional actor or someone in performing arts. It's okay for that to be someone's boundary as long as everything is discussed between partners. If the thought of you're SO pretedning to be in a relationship for the purpose of performing a role is a boundary for you than that boundary should be consistent. I highly doubt that the SO's of actors on D&D shows have issues with relationships being portrayed. This is something that will be different for everyone but I personally think it's acting, playing a smaller role in a larger narrative. I have played many characters in D&D that are not like me at all, from gender to worldview to morale code. If my rogue steals from everyone they meet that doesn't make me a cleptomaniac. If my Cleric is flirtatious and wants to bed all the stable boys I meet that doesn't mean me and the DM are developing a romantic connection. Romeo and Juliet are characters being played by actors. I think QT is coming off as insecure but I understand a lot people feel this way and that's where it just come back to communication and boundary setting between partners.

Marcelo

awww poor Hasan, I will be your date

Melanie Stewart

It’s hard because i do agree that they are acting and it’s a sorta work gig… but depending on the people involved and the way they act w each other. Actors have scripts, it’s not up to them how they interact w their coworkers for a scene. RP is like improv. Weird comparison i just thought of but it’s like that scene in victorious where tori kisses beck. Was that too far from tori’s side? To jade i would think so. but can she get mad at beck for following along to the improv? Obviously not

Melanie Stewart

You should comment on the wine about it reddit! She’s way more likely to see that

B

Will is such an awesome guy

Ninja Iceberg

Everyone should just join the guild on gtarp and just be virgins to protect their elo.

Madison

If my partner was a streamer and rping relationships for content then I'd be chill ab it. That's just good content lmao. But if my nonstreamer partner was in an rp relationship for their own personal fulfillment?? That's craaazy. Def a no from me and I don't think QT is insane for having that boundary. Though there are exceptions for everything and I can appreciate the creative expression to some extent. Ig it would just be a conversation I'd have with my partner. Would be a hard sell for sure tho.

Richard Bernal Jr

Poor Hasan, left out of the couples dinner because he no longer is “getting away with it” aka he got no hoes 😂 QT should also take Will’s advice on his award category

Ruin

I definitely think the rp relationship stuff is a case by case basis depending on the people, the type of role play, the stage of the relationship, and if it's for content or not. Like personally I wouldn't care regardless. I do understand being weirded out if your SO is doing roleplay and it seems like they're just doing normal couple shit and that is it. I also understand that some people are naturally more jealous than others, and while there are certain things that the jealous person needs to overcome have a healthy relationship there are certain things the other needs to compromise on too, and I think online rp would definitely be one of them

Cameron Benson

I agree with Hasan and Will with the RP discussion for sure. RP is 100% acting in my eyes. I did ask my girlfriend of almost 8 years now if she would be okay with it and she also said "I would just kill myself" so I'm sensing a common theme here with some of the girlies. Boundaries should be respected in any relationship though so the line for that moves depending on the couple.

steppingstone

are we sure that hasan isn't confusing venison with veal

James Parentich

I agree with Hasan about Venison, its common here (australia) in high end european restaurants even venison sausages aren't uncommon in nice butchers and even food trucks. RP relationships are up to the people involved and their significant others, I think judging people on them when you don't know them (ie chatters) is super cringe though.

Delgado Corcoran

Truuu. I would not have known about Nora the Explorer (may be wrong on spelling) or that Nick was doing GTA RP streams soooooo, boom. It worked!

Centristnormie

QT’s wrong about RP relationships. It’s content(acting). Look at all the relationships in every movie or TV show ever created especially if they’re long lasting over several seasons. It’s just a “part”.

LordeofClover777

Qt I want to be with you on this one but I wouldnt care if my gf was dating in rp. If it seemed like It was getting weird or they were talking off stream in the same way I might feel differently..Idk im a lesbian so maybe its different with the heteros

LucyLun4r

I need a compilation of every time Will head boops Hasan

Krissy Hunt

I have a friend who does rp for a couple years now and she has had men leave there s/o to try and be with her personally. One guy left his baby momma and wanted to move in with her. Some people cannot seperate

ChazzGrove

It'd be one thing if he was doing it off stream, but they are making content for stream just as likely next week to burn the whole relationship into the ground. It is acting, you are entertainers. Conflating your work life and personal life isn't healthy.

Erin

im not sure how dnd works so i dont know. just wouldnt be comfortable with my partner roleplaying as someone elses for 6hrs+ on a videogame 😭😭

Coy Cadaver

One day you will need our water! There's a reason why we vacation in different parts of Michigan.

Kevin Hutton

I think they would be able to talk about the concept of bleed and how to deal with it

Andres Carrera

Justice for Kaya ✊️

Kevin Hutton

Get anyone who plays DND on here and then have the role play convo again

Shunbound

Michigan IS awesome. Great views. Cheap (and good) weed. Almost fell into the salmon ladder in Grand Rapids when I was a little kid. Great times.

Leo!

Is it a crime? To shake ass?

Daniel Sierra

Left a comment on the main video too but would love to make a sapphire piece for QTs sapphire award for the award show Im a first generation Jeweler and I think its a really cool idea thats not as much money as she thinks.

Andrew Sargeant

And Well u see the fine art of this place illustrats the and fowerds the current political and economic climate as of late by pushing fowerd the 2 big burly men and pushing aside the women as well as hiding the gay man in the for ground of the peace its quiet a pec

Summer

i am from grand rapids. however first thing tomorrow im putting in an official motion to change the city name to goon rapids.

Sam

I’m 100% with QT, I wouldn’t want to have an RP gf since I’m married and I’d be hurt if my wife had an RP significant other

Andrew Sargeant

Hay QT THANX for the very very late Christmas card looking fowerd 2 mor stuff in the future ( hopefully ) p.s it's late because I live in perth WA (:

HALEHYDRA

Kayla 4Life

Lucy Palmer

I hear second life is all pixel fucking. Does that count as cheating?

yen

i would also kms if my bf did that

Jessiah Smalwood

exactly what I thought, looks wack with no plates

A Silva

QT didn't say I love you back to Caroline, that's fucked up

Cameron King

It’s one thing to create these boundaries for your own relationship, that’s 100% valid, and you should be able to healthily communicate that with YOUR partner. But you projecting those expectations onto someone else’s, is completely inappropriate and just cringe lol.

lovey🤍

I am a girl and married and I truly wouldn't care unless it was a set boundary but it wouldn't be plus it's nick he's said worse to real friends

Quinn

hasan gotta get some plates

AirspeedIsAlive

What if it’s a tabletop rp game? Like dnd. Same thing?

AirspeedIsAlive

I think it’s an honest conversation that needs to be had. Poor communication is like 99.99% of relationship issues.

Tylah Hexen

Maybe it's because I've consumed a lot of DnD content like Critical Role, but I find roleplaying in games completely okay. I think QT's mind would be blown by the relationships that grow between their player characters; who are all close friends with a great amount of trust. As long as there's trust in the relationship, there shouldn't be a problem. And if there are reasons to fear the RP relationship, that's probably a reflection of other fears or insecurities.

kron

Goated bonus ep gang! Love it! Thanks Marche!

Fallstream

I’m curious what QT would think if Ludwig played sims and made a random character and had them fall in love. Pretty similar no? Only difference would be it’s an AI I suppose

River Sauerwein

✨️🖤✨️

Fren

I'd assume it also has to do with bringing in more views and revenue to streams. Lots of people are suckers for "romance" and it's an easy thing to insert into a character's story. This obviously isn't the standard, but in the case of NoPixel there's a large community of both established and rising content creators who can use it as an avenue to get new viewers hooked and hopefully have them stay. Content is king after all lol

Rachael

i completely agree with qt, especially how it's a slippery slope. tbh I think the boys don't engage in enough gossip to know how many streamers/ just gamers will rp or bend boundaries for content with people outside of their relationship and it turns into cheating

Alex Ozarud

One of the best episodes lol. Also Hasan and Will are 1000000% correct if you can't handle your SO playing a game you have major trust issues. Thats nutty.

xoxo_gems

If your partner is uncomfortable with you being in an rp relationship, then you shouldn’t do it. But if it’s they don’t care then 🤷🏽‍♀️ I think it’s all about how secure you are & how much trust you have in your partner. I personally, as a woman, don’t think it’s a big deal. Like they said, it’s acting, but there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed. If it’s getting too similar to an actual relationship & not gta related, then that’s not okay.

Vella

Thank you so much for updating me! I hope QT gets more support :( I’m sad to hear that she had to juggle all of that without help form any of the dudes.

LeahGia

If I’m correct, I don’t think they will be a patreon exclusive thing. Patreon might get early access. But QT said on stream that there is a delay and they will likely come out late January and be a Feb 24-Jan 25 calendar. She said it’s harder because all the merch has pretty much fallen on her and she can’t give 100% to it while putting in 10+ hour days working on Streamer Awards alone.

inflatablepenguin

definitely not alone QT. that shit is weird.

Hex

Even tho its just rp, if the person you're with is telling you that they're uncomfortable with it, the least you should do is be considered for their feelings. Brushing it off only because its rp and not respecting a boundary your s.o. has is crazy to me.

Anthony Jimenez

Caroline is such a good mom

LeahGia

That’s what I’ve been saying!! But if they have her on an episode that QT or Will aren’t on, I’m going to throw hands lmao I want that dynamic

Cathy Osbourne

Oh, it's ok, don't worry. It appears that patrion is deleting comments about their shitty website

Cathy Osbourne

Now I can't even delete my shitty comments because delete doesn't fucking work

ashyc

there’s definitely a line to be crossed with the rp relationships, im with qt and maya but to each their own

Emily Olivier

As a Michigander I will always love Will defending Michigan as the best Midwestern state because its best parts are hours away and no where near the Detroit Metro area.

Alex

It might be more of a girl perspective, I agree with QT

Utkarsh Bhimte

Austin is missed for sure. Maybe it IS the Austin show and friends. 😂

Adam Romero

Dice, Camera, Action

Ty6260

Omg drop the name thats some tea

Jose Marin

Like will said, I think it def depends on the line but most the rp’s I’ve seen are pretty innocent. Everyone has diff boundaries though and things they’re comfortable with. The way Nick and Nora are I wouldn’t care but if my SO was going around telling guys she loved them and pretending to fuck them I might have an issue

Jessica Leigh

I don’t find issue with the ro relationship. But if there is already issues then I can understand why someone feels threatened but I don’t think rp relationships are a big deal

Erin

im probably toxic for agreeing with qt on the gta rp relationships i just think its weird 😭😭

Skye Eva

I think its fair for QT to feel the way she does about RP relationships for her own relationship, and other people may also feel this way. But not everyone feels that way so its not a universal standard. Just a case by case thing.

Kam Cheung

It’s a game and rp is hilarious and the relationships on there ends after they log out.

vindo

if it’s like obviously a joke and a character then I‘d be fine with it but if the character is like a self insert and they act like actually relationshipy it can get weird way too fast

Heron Garrett

If it’s their job I think it’s different than people just roleplaying a relationship for fun.

qt's take on gta rp is so fucked

Delgado Corcoran

I completely agree that RP'ing a relationship, especially one like Nick's, is fine. He has done nothing wrong and always flirts as a joke on stream. I also completely agree that I would not RP a relationship while in a relationship. This is just for me but... It's an odd form of attachment. Why does it need to be a relationship? Why can't your character be a super sigma man and can't be locked down and that be a joke? It just feels off for you to write your character that way as an Actor when it doesn't need to be. A one-shot stream with a storyline, sure thing. Play the role. But to choose to start a relationship as your character when improvising feels like a weird form of escapism.

Hasan physically turning his body away from will is proof of the sassy man apocalypse

Ryden Kaye

Rp relationships is ez if they’re emotionally invested it’s cheating but it’s not an rp relationship anymore then it’s just a regular relationship. If they’re not invested who gives af

Gingerbread

I get where QT is coming from if Nick was doing an RP relationship without Malena knowing. But I'm sure she's okayed it and it fully public. Would be super weird if it wasn't.

Yara

I love Caroline lol

Vincenzo La Via

If you guys come to Escanaba I'm there no matter what

Aspy 130

Yeah I can kinda get where qt is coming from but I definitely agree more with will on the rp shit

Zach G

GTA RP is just a dorky improv comedy thing and I think a lot of the people who would be insecure about this have never watched it. IMO Any streamer who would take things too far in an RP relationship in this way (like QT and Maya mentioned) is coming to the table with some creepy bad predator mindset and it has nothing to do with RP...

Keegan McClanahan

it’s a game and on a strict rp server. as long as everyone is on the same page it is fine. don’t understand a viewer who doesn’t understand that

No one in particular

I personally wouldn't care if my gf rp'd a relationship and we're as far away from the actor professions as can be. I'm confident enough in our relationship that it could survive the perils of GTA RP lol

Kelli Ish

Always going to suggest taking the time to visit the UP if you're coming out here. And go duning

Felix Skiöld

Why? She isn’t to different from how she usually is

Dan The Man

QT: But wouldn't you be sad? Caroline: No, but I understand how you would

LeahGia

I thought she was great. I laughed so many times.

LeahGia

For example, Nick and Melena are probably totally fine. Nick has been making PogO comments/content for years about Maya, QT, Caroline, etc. and the reason why it’s fine is because everyone involved is fine with him saying it including Melena, Lud, Will, etc. and chat knows it isn’t problematic. Melena once drew up a “contract” on stream for QT and Nick to sign saying QT consents to Nick’s comments about her lmao

LordOfTeas

I said memphis not michigan

Kaya needs to stay in the podcast. She’s a great addition to the crew. No Kaya, no podcast.

Beepboop

QT really needed a day off from doing the podcast for this episode.

Mars

Will and Hasan are streamer brainrotted if my gf was rping being in a relationship with someone else I would bring a toaster with me next time I had a bath

LordOfTeas

The memphis pyramid episode would be fire!

Hannah Gray

Will Neff singing my friends song is a trip

heavy_yawns

Emotional cheating is real and nmp is in game for like 9 hours each day not rping a wild character like Will is.

Njoy

Actors fall in love all the time I see where qt is coming from

Jasmin Valles

Repping Lansing, MI! Also, I’d LOVE to have Caroline’s take because her and Will seem to be so secure in themselves and each other, I however have been screwed over and cheated on in many different apps and in many different ways so I just won’t opinionate. Lol however there’s also the fact that they’re literally making money/working for views and content so idk

Foaming Clean

How has Hasan not heard of Mackinac Island? They host that Republican Leadership Conference every year because they appreciate pretending that it's still 1770s.

mingle27

Team Metro Detroit in the house! Come on over.

Daniel Medina

You're right. But the biggest difference is that we have no problem when children play pretend because their brains aren't fully developed yet. Also, just by societal expectations, we don't anticipate adults acting like children. So it can come off weird. Especially if you're normie status.

LeahGia

I think that it is 100% situational with RP. It depends on the individuals involved (including real life partners), the characters they are playing (how similar they are to them in real life, etc.), the actual in-game interactions, and the extent to which communities/chatters view it in a parasocially toxic way. There are situations where it could be totally fine and some when it could definitely not be.

JChristelle

Being mad over RP relationships is like.. being mad your actor partner is doing a couple of slightly romantic “comedy” scenes for a movie they get a 70/30 split for. RP is cinema, baby.

Jonathan Martinez

I hate to disagree with Will but as a person who lived in Michigan for 3 yrs it is not cool lol

Sapphomet

Id remove Hasan before id remove Kaya this podcast needs visual hooks and bros always with The Phone

Sapphomet

Im broke so im leaving the patreon but I wanna voice that QT is fully right on the digital relationship shit thats an emotional betrayl tbh

kinglex1

i think its just a case of qt not watching any rp , i think she sees it like people flirting at work or having a work "gf", when in reality its literally just walmart acting. same way you shouldn't take kids seriously when they pretend they are knights fighting dragons same way you shouldnt take the 30 year olds playing banks and robbers in a video

JD_jess

Sorry QT I love you ♥️ but I think RPing a relationship is okay so long as the people involved don’t start attaching real, serious emotions to the relationship. As long as it all stays in good fun I think it’s okay.

Sisse

i would personally not be okay with my partner RP´ing being in another relationship but every relationship has different boundaries and as long as both partners agree then thats perfectly fine

Bitch

Everyone implying nick is weird for rping a fake meme relationship with nora because THEY wouldn't want THEIR partner to do it is so silly. Your partner isn't getting 20k views a day playing this fake relationship with you a lot of the time in the same room. Sure it may not be for everyone but if malena wasn't okay with it nick wouldn't do it, period. I don't even watch them that much but from what all their friends say about their relationship all these internet people are worrying for nothing

Ezekiel Welsh

RP relationships in GTA are totally fine, especially in Nopixel where everything is very clearly a character. The people actually playing understand its content and they are playing cartoonish trope characters.

Adam Romero

RP relationships are weird. I used to watch a D&D podcast starring people that were all married to other people and the stars all ended up cheating on their partners and dating their D&D RP partners IRL

Hannah Gray

I would love to have Caroline’s view on rp gf but I couldn’t help but feel weird about it. It depends on like what you’re saying in rp. Some people straight up sext in RP it’s weird.

Leo!

Watch some gta nopixel for a bit. You’ll change you mind 100%

Eva

I’m so sorry Will but Mackinac Island is not in Lake Michigan…

Leo!

Yep take Ash Ketchup and Benji for example

Wes Clark

we missed out on Adam being on the pod

Isabella D

agreed! woman here :D

bl00dzee

It’s a definitely a combination of ignorance and insecurity to be jealous of GTA RP. That’s why Caroline had a based take because she’s super secure in herself and her relationship and she’s actually done GTA RP. The people RPing are content creators and GTA RP is basically nonstop improv in a video game that includes coming up with story arcs. Relationships are an easy insertion to any good story. So from Hasan and Will’s point of view it’s like getting mad at your bf for going to an improv class and pretending to be someone’s husband. Except it’s not even that bad because it’s literally in a video game and not in real life. Also, QT seems to be under the impression that it’s serious role play of a relationship when it’s literally all stupid silly Bonnie and Clyde type shit to farm viewers and content. I think if QT actually watched “relationship” RP she’d understand better. Again, people have different levels of what makes them uncomfortable but we all should strive to be secure in ourselves and our relationship like Will and Caroline and Nick and Malena.

Lmlm

I agree with qt if my SO did a rp relationship with someone else I will be suspicious

mimi

forever on qt's side i'm so sorry but if my partner did relationship RP i would be sick to my stomach

aj

This podcast genuinely makes my mondays feel a litte better

Ernesto Regalado

I think I'm generally on the guys' side on the ERP thing but it's also difficult to compare streamers doing ERP in GTA to D&D or acting because a streamer in GTA might be doing ERP for hours and hours in a day for multiple days for a long time. When you're doing RP for that long it can be really easy for lines to get blurred.

Jaxon U

QT is right, it's weird to RP a relationship when you're already in a real life one. It may not be "logical" but it very obviously would create a weird jealous tension for your real life partner

Leo!

Also NoPixel relationships are the most Bonnie and Clyde coded thing you can imagine. Just look at the family trees people have on there. I don’t think anyone who watches it could genuinely believe there’s actual romantic attraction between the characters’s players.

Miguelvm

As a dude, I would be uncomfortable if my partner did relationship RP. I've also watched Nick's relationship RP with Nora and I have felt uncomfortable to the point of leaving stream, for me it get's a bit too personal sometimes. Different strokes for different folks I guess. And of course, I'm not judging Nick's intentions, I don't believe he's trying to do anything wrong and Malena seems to be ok with it. Just not my thing.

bella

we need a caroline fear& ep asap

CK12341

I’m usually with QT, but Will and Hasan are completely correct about the ERP thing

Jen

Kaya is the star of the show! wdym

Maria Touw

Also imagine you’re in the server and they pick someone else to date💀 instantly dead

Sasha__qt

As a woman, I agree with QT. I would be upset if my s/o had a romance in gta with someone. However, in my opinion Will and Hasan’s opinions are the most reasonable. Yet, even though I realize it, I still won’t be okay with it :/

Couran

Will is pulling off that Three Musketeer's vibe with the hair and the mustache!

Trent Bates

Can’t wait to be walking downtown gr and seeing Hasan lose his mind how half the city is named after the Devos family

Eric Woodard

I gotta say, I do think QT and Maya are really misunderstanding the RP. like will said, if they were just being all cutesy, that's different.

snicolex

Already listened to the audio version… but I’m back to see kaya in action 🐶

Dylan Winston

As someone who has played ttrpgs for years with friends. Role-playing involves things beyond just jokes and fights. It's making relationships and some are romantic. It's group story telling and what kind of good story doesn't have romance in it?

Ben Hall

This thumbnail coming hot off of will ranting about the rest of the cast saying he’s never there is gold

Jo

Id rather see Kaya sitting in the middle of the floor instead of a table any day. I gotchu Kaya!

Leo!

I learned about gypsy rose in the third grade music class. She came up after someone said it was a slur while we were watching the 1993 musical gypsy

Wiglessfool

Roleplaying a relationship while you're in a relationship is weird. It definetly does depend on the nature of the relationship they're roleplaying and how much the character they're roleplaying is related to the person roleplaying. Marco saint marco roleplaying a relationship would not be an issue for me.

Ptheo

I 100% think that Romantic RP has other intentions, but not romantic ones. Its more financial ones, it gets subs and invested parasocial viewers.

Max Paton

also don’t forget about sleeping bear sand dunes in michigan

Moonmoons style of Relationship RP/ERP is the best way to do it, extremely over the top where it’s just to the point of who breaks the other person BIGM

K. Verklärung

QT is incorrect, but we support women's rights and wrongs!

LegionOfPotatoes

But y'all ask the rp question to jelly ladies. Like of course they think people are there for other intentions. When you're just playing a game.

Watermelon

Let Kaya be in the podcast room!! 😤😤😤😤

Vella

Can we get an update on the calendars? Like what tier, when they will be ready, etc? I want to upgrade my tier level for one but idk what tier. Thanks <3

Olivia Rath-Lewan

qt is so right, rp a relationship while in a relationship is WILD. would either end myself or my bf

Kimberly Murphy

Relationship RP is different than off stream ERP. I think that crosses a line.

Darren Hertenstein

I refreshed, and there it is!

Chatters_Mom

Kaya best guest 🥰

Anthony Nardi

if you can't get QT on a plane you guys should just rent a few train cars and ride amtrak http://www.calzephyrrailcar.com

ktn

So excited for the Memphis trip and pls do that sleepover episode as well WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN

Filipe Freitas

finally the audio version (love u marche)

Julian

Relationship RP can be really fun as a viewer, but it can get really dramatic very fast because of chat hoppers/meta gamers/parasocial fans. I think GTA RP is more fun without chat in general

Deanna

No I wasn't just refreshing endlessly

Deanna

Love you marche
