Comments
Jocat has once again broken into a stranger’s house.
I really hate how the internet is a place where people can ruin the fun of others. You will be missed dearly. Love and hugs, JoCat.
The fact that JoCat just appears in random rooms and bursts out into musical numbers about how to play DnD is some lore that needs to be recorded
"What if it all ends in disaster" "Learn from mistakes and try again" is honestly just great life advice
The internet is going to be a darker, sadder place without JoCat around.
This video proves that JoCat is the world's most OP bard. He's capable of giving inspiration to thousands of people with a single 2-minute song.
I love how Echo gilette was credited not only for animation help, but also emotional support
When JoCat goes "LEARN FROM MISTAKES AND TRY AGAIN" It hits like an old celtic band I listened to who was absolutely beautiful infront of a croud with their songs and it gave me a rush of further enjoyment for this song.
“What if it all ends in disaster” It ALWAYS does. That’s the beauty of it.
Brennan Lee Mulligan as the king filled me with great joy
I will miss jo a lot. He was one of the reasons I even started dming almost 4 years ago now. I hope he finds happiness whatever he is doing ❤❤❤
"Learn from mistakes and TRY AGAIN!" That "TRY AGAIN" sounded so freaking majestic, like a true showrunner.
I like it when JoCat makes a living, personally. Still cautious of the sponsor, but at the same time I'm so glad they're supporting one of my favorite people on the internet! Edit: Let's keep it civil here folks. JoCat wants a positive community, and it's our job to give it to him. Don't disappoint everyone's favorite catboy D&D content creator!
How can a silly song about playing a game almost bring tears to my eyes.... You're going to be missed JoCat.
pov: JoCat breaks into your home and forces you to learn how to play DnD through a series of severe hallucinations in the form of a musical masterpiece
1:55. THIS. This is my favorite part. I don’t know why but this little scene of Jo jumping and spinning with the little cat balls is my favorite.
I like how every character in this animation just seems to be a really cool person. Like I want them to be my friends now.
I never truly knew this guy but he made me feel accepted for enjoying D&D and being over flamboyant about it. He was a mentor to me, someone I hope to one day be like even in the slightest. You sir will be missed, my heart heart and soul ache from your departure. I would never ask you to stay in a situation you no longer feel comfortable in, so let it be know you helped me love myself, and truly deep down from the bottom of my heart Thank You. ❤
Jocat predicted my response of "but what if you have no friends" by adding in that little "and yes you have some" is so meaningful despite it being such a quick line.
JoCat: "It's simple" Also JoCat: "Step 1: Get your friends together" Sure, you don't ask for much do you!?
