I've seen posts where people talk about how in tgwdlm ted figured pete was dead bc he was in the high school but can we talk about how pete was in la dee dah dah day. he was dead from the very beginning. and ted had no idea.
Paul calling Emma "Em" could've been such a cute thing, if only it wasn't in the song Infected Paul sings to try and kill Emma and if only it wasn't following the line "LET ME PUKE IN YOUR MOUTH"
the Ted x Wiggly ship has me curious,,,,can you spare some doodles of them??
Ive kinda got art block, so my doodles are kinda shitty rn, but heres some! (Also headcanons below)
So, silly headcanons about them!
- Wiggly tries to scare Ted, but lets just say he does not get the intended reaction! Basically, Ted is a freak. He loves a guy who can literally kill him
- This is also how Wiggly starts to catch feelings. He used to being scary, so to find someone who isn't afraid of him makes him get butterflies. (And he is super in denial too!)
- Ted helps Wiggly calm down when he gets angry. He's like a stress toy, but instead of squeezing him to death, they cuddle.
- While Wiggly is in denial for a while, his tentacles betray him. They have a mind of their own, and often hold onto Ted or play with his hair. (Ted doesn't mind. As said before, Ted is a freak)
- Cuddle nights in the black!!! Wiggly likes to be held, it reminds him of being in doll form.
- Ted isn't used to be in a committed relationship, but he surprisingly doesn't mind. He still pretends to be a sleazeball, and they are technically in a open relationship, but secretly Ted really just wants him and him alone.
- Bonus: Tinky is really jealous, but is happy to have a reason to make fun of Wiggly.
I just think are silly and I need to spread my Tentacle Bastard agenda.
Quick thought on the lords in black, are they a commentary on the internet, beings created in a space of black (the screens of our phone) and white (the light that reflects back)? They represent the worst thats come from it- how quickly we are enflamed to rage (wiggly), consuming the fake pageantry (nibbly), watching us destroy ourselves and each other (blinky), keeping record of all the mistakes we’ve made in the past with no redemption (tinky), and getting locked into a singular opinion, or voice (pokey).
Then with Webby, she is the best to come of the internet, which is that it connects us all. She can’t save the citizens of hatchetfield because ultimately the existence of the lords and how they interact in hatchetfield is up to the them. The lords exist because they summon them and until they can find a way to take away their power, they’re doomed to keep repeating their mistakes.
Sidenote: i kind of hope the hatchetfield saga ends in an Into the Woods style musical, where they’ve pulled characters from all these different timelines. So we get the original Paul (who was pulled after pokeys reign and has his mind mostly back except he sings all the time now), stoner emma (or linda for that matter), pete spankovski (eventually freeing ted from his box), lex (and grace chasity as a villain), becky or ms. Holloway, green peace girl (and melissa for a joke), and general mcnamara (who’s the only one who knows whats going on). Et al really
By the time P.I.E.P. had gotten wind of this broadcast, it was already far too late. The infection was spreading faster than anyone could handle, and the reality of the apocalypse had finally begun to sink in.
The status of the survivor D. [REDACTED] is still unknown. We can only hope that the few who managed to hear this broadcast did manage to get somewhere safe with the extra time they were given.
Part 3/3 of my Hatchetfield broadcasts- A short experimental video project inspired by Analog Horror and Infection AUs for what happened post The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals Plot. I hope you enjoyed this series and let me know if you'd like to see more stuff like this in the future!
