#the hot chocolate boy in TGWDLM is supposed to be Peter Spankoffski

[sorio99]

Knowing “Nerdy Prudes Must Die” was the first idea the Lang brothers had for Hatchetfield makes the whole series so much funnier.

Like, did they know in “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” that the weirdo who demanded a hot chocolate would be the leading man of the high school horror show?

Did they know the prude they mentioned a few times would be a homophobic murderer who defiled a corpse, fucked a ghost, and became a vessel for dark lords?

Was the homeless man joke in BEFORE the recast because they were still brothers, or not?

so, peter spankoffski debuted in tgwdlm, then dubbed as "obnoxious teen" in the script but affectionately nicknamed "hot chocolate boy" by the fandom, played by robert manion. in black friday, the cineplex worker was supposed to be pete, but then rob got cast as ethan. so the cineplex worker couldn't be pete, since the only scene the character is in has him and ethan interacting. so, this character was played by joey richter. pete himself, still played by rob, shows up at the very end as one of the cameos in what if tomorrow comes.

cut to nightmare time s1, and the cineplex worker- or "obnoxious teen" as he is still dubbed in the script, appears a few more times over the course of the season, with the new character schtick of him having a different job in each timeline. namely as a watcher world employee in watcher world, and a waiter at pizza pete's in jane's a car. in nightmare time 2, obnoxious teen returns as a stage attendant at the starlight theater in honey queen. he is still played by joey in all of these appearances. meanwhile, pete- now played by nick lang, appears as a lead in nmt 2's abstinence camp. with every episode of s2 taking place in the same timeline, and pete even saying "i'm gonna miss the honey festival" early on in abstinence camp, this leaves absolutely no wiggle room for assuming that these two are the same person. peter spankoffski and the obnoxious teen are indubitably separate characters.

cut to fucking today, it is announced that joey has been cast as pete in the upcoming nerdy prudes must die, with the announcement using the specific phrasing of "that obnoxious teen, peter spankoffski".

i am losing my goddamn mind-
