More Hatchetverse Theory: Sycamore High and the Timberwolves are connected to the Hatchetmen and the Tree-People

Starkid's Hatchetverse has retriggered my hyperfixation, and by golly if you think I'm not gonna share every unhinged theory...you're wrong. I’ll tag them “#hatchetverse theory” to make it easier. So let's dive in.

One thing I haven't seen anyone talking about is the fact that, based on what we know about canon, Sycamore High School likely shouldn't exist.

Hatchetfield is a "tiny town". There doesn't seem to be a reason for them to have two high schools, especially when Sycamore seems to not even have enough staff and students for most extra curriculars and programs (in TGWDLM, Paul mentions they don't have a theater program).

So why does Sycamore High School exist? Well, one thing I noticed was that SYCAMORE High as well as its mascot, the TIMBERwolves, have tree related pun names. And what a coincidence, trees happened to be big in the hatchetfield universe, particularly when it comes to the hatchetmen and their hatred of the LIB and magic/“the gift” in general. They did plant a forest of magic tree people after all. And, since they hate the LIB so much, they likely wouldn't want their children attending high school at one of the black altar locations, which just so happens to be Hatchetfield High. That gives them a motivation to build an alternative school.

Sounds like a pretty solid theory to me, but then there's also the fact that the residents also seem to have an odd attitude towards Sycamore High. It's not hated by Hatchetfield High with the same level of hatred they give the Clivesdale Chemists, but they still don't like Sycamore, and the students hate the idea of transferring there. Which seems odd. You'd think it would be the other way around since Hatchetfield High is the school with the black altar. Unless being around a black altar makes the students hate Sycamore, and I could probably do a whole different rant on how the LIB's influence is messing with the perceptions and behavior of the people of Hatchetfield, particularly at the altar locations or when someone uses or has used the black book, but maybe I'll save that for later.

However, if you really wanted to take this theory to the extreme, it could be part of the reason why Paul "doesn't like musicals." Musicals and music are the primary way Pokey expands his influence in Hatchetfield, at least in TGWDLM. That might be one of the reasons Sycamore doesn't have a choir or theater program: not just due to lack of students, but strategically to keep Pokey's influence out. Paul went to Sycamore High, which isn't a black altar (and indeed, might even be designed to counteract or resist the LIB), therefore he's more put off by music and musical performances in Hatchetfield, though he doesn't really know why.

I also suspect this isn't the only instance where the name of locations around town have significance. This has already been seen several times, particularly with the black altar locations.

For example:

The Starlight Theater: has a star theme similar to "the Church of the Starry Children"

CCRP (COVEN Communication Research and Power): Literally has the word "Coven" in it.

Lakeside Mall: Used to be the old mill (which would be located near water, also "mall" and "mill" are one letter off).

And trust me, I have my theories about Clivesdale as well, but again, maybe that one is better for another time.

I hope you enjoy Starkid fandom!

What if, when Tinky in disguise as Jenny gave Ted the Bastard's Box, what if, that was their Betrothal. And when Ted dies and enters the Bastard's Box, he wakes up at his and Tinky's wedding. Wearing the fucking dress. Nibbly is the flower girl, Pokey is Officiating, Blinky is ring barer and Wiggly is the Best Man. Tinky, is the groom.

Ever since watching Nerdy Prudes Must Die, I have became a solid fan of Starkid's and their Hatchetfield series. Here are fan arts of the Lords in Black. Fun fact: I did the dolls in one whole day.

So I just watched killer track and god that ending was so sad but like Duke had to know deep down that Miss Holiday was Miss Holloway, like he couldn't remember her exactly but there had to be a small thing telling him that it was her 😭😭😭

[blood-lass]

🎶 "His name is Wiggly, and he's here to stay~" 🎶

I was originally going to go as Wiggly the Lord in Black himself, but ended up looking more like a sniggle so I'm fine with that too lol.

Come deep down to Drowsy Town, into the Black and White with us, don't be scared 😃💚

And remember to watch Nightmare Time season 2 and Nerdy Prudes Must Die to support Starkid and the Hatchetfield multiverse!!

To be loved by a being beyond human isn't as grand as it seems. To be held in an embrace you cannot escape from, to be kissed with lips you cannot resist. Invisible chains bind Paul so, a grandiose cage of silver keeping the self within like a little bird. Where would he go? Where CAN he go? Not a soul breathes in the way they should, and certainly no person who yearns to see him dead exists. Even if he had no control over the acts The Singular Voice directs him to perform. Pleading, crying, begging… they all fall on the deaf ears of the god that can hear all sounds, but only so desires the sound of his own voice. What can do any good on a “man” like Pokotho himself? Could one possibly call him a man?

Because, despite the proclamation of his drive, his reasons for the Apotheosis… the blue god conceals a burning love for Paul.

And he just had to be Uncompromising.
