An Overanalysis of this Picture from one Sleep Deprived College Bitch

OKAY BESTIES ANALYSIS TIME I AM GOING TO USE MY CAFFEINE AND ANXIETY FILLED LIL BRAIN TO ANALYZE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS LITTLE FUCKER. I WILL TAKE THE SCRAPS THAT STARKID HAS GIVEN AND I WILL PICK THEM APART

FIRST THING: the honeycomb/beehive symbol

it has six sides surrounding the N with the image of the bee and honeycomb in the middle. Six sides. Six eldritch deities that we know of. Coincidence? I think not. I think we’re going to see all six lords in black at this point - possibly together, possibly not. At any rate, the fact that they chose to surround the N with the six lords in black is not insignificant. Whoever or whatever N stands for is going to be central this nightmare time (Nibbly, perhaps, because we really haven’t seen Nibbly in action yet). N could also stand for Nightmare Time but that’s boring so im choosing not to believe that, and knowing these fuckers its some deep lore.

Moving on from that, speaking of N, I also want to discuss the letters in the image. the HOPE on the outside spells Hope, which isn’t insignificant, but I also think it’s more than that. H, P, and E at least are the first letters of names that are very familiar to us.

H - Hannah

O - ?? (I can’t think of anyone for this right now, but if anyone has anything please let me know!!) (Mayhaps, a theory, a real name for Webby? Or Miss Holloway?)

P - Paul

E - Emma

(shoutout to @shipsthatcouldshowyouthestars​ for starting this by pointing out p&e could stand for paul and emma)

All of these characters have been central to these stories so far, and furthermore, they’ve been central heroes. I think, in the end, Hatchetfield, the HOPE of Hatchetfield will fall to them.

Lastly, I want to talk about the beehive itself. Aside from the obvious reference to the hive in TGWDLM, I think this hive has different, layered meanings. I think the hive itself is referring to the loop in which Hatchetfield is stuck. Each time one timeline ends - each time Hatchetfield is destroyed or suffers beneath the LIB, there is a jump. A movement between dimensions, represented by each of the little holes in the hive. Each hole is a different timeline, and the bee represents the Lords, going in and asserting themselves in each.

(An alternate explanation is a hint that Bee is going to be in this season, but I think both can be true, wouldn’t put it past them)

That’s all I have for now, but I will definitely add to this post if I think of something, and ANYONE else is free to add stuff too that I didn’t see, or offer alternate explanations!! This was a very incoherent first look at this post, and I didn’t take a very close look at the caption, so I’m sure there’s plenty I might have missed.

;) this marks my glorious return to tumblr y’all

Till next time I finally upload a fic chapter (which will be very soon i’m very sorry i just...life’s tough) peace out,

Ridiculous Hatchetfield Theory: Hatchetfield is the Bad Place.

Ok so I was given the go ahead by a couple of you, so I am going to call this a bonus Ridiculous Hatchetfield Theory – i.e. one from my mind instead of yours (I will get back to your submissions after this!). Obviously here lies spoilers for the Good Place, which is an amazing show that I don’t think I will ever be able to recommend enough. Its short, its hilarious and it fills the empty theology place in my heart. I know a few others have mentioned Hatchetfield / Good Place AUs before and please please please write them because I want to read them!

The Black and White goes by a few other names: Heaven, Hell, The Good Place… The Bad Place.

The Bad Place was in charge of punishing those who didn’t get into the Good Place, who hadn’t managed to achieve enough points to be considered good people. Usually they found the most hideous way to torture them and that was that.

And then Michael decided to change the system and the Bad Place workers had to actually start thinking about how to torture their humans. Some of the demons were not impressed, wishing they could go back to their old ways of butthole spiders and forcing humans to listen to Sugar Ray. But there were a few who enjoyed the challenge – and the performance – of it all. In particular were a group of demons who came from the “terrifying monsters” department, one of the few departments where they weren’t encouraged to wear their human suits and remained looking like… well their normal demon selves.

They were presented with their case – a group of humans that all knew each other on Earth, all came from the same town – and all had their own issues and vices. The group of demons decided to change things up a bit, instead of telling their humans they had died and gone to the Good Place, they were going to pretend nothing had happened, recreate Hatchetfield exactly how it was in 2017, erase their memories up until that point and leave them to it… for a while.

Eventually they went rogue, naming themselves the Lords in Black and messing with the residents for fun, rather than to improve their morality and ethical standing.

---

They quickly discovered one of the residents hated musicals. Pokey was let loose on this one, planning a sudden “meteor crash” that slowly turned the other residents… and later the humans… into singing and dancing zombies. The ultimate musical. That is until they managed to breech the normal boundaries of the town and ran the risk of escaping – one of them, the last one not controlled, noticing a loop in time and space Tinky had put into place.

*snap*

“Give me that doll!”

The chaos that ensued from the miniaturised version of Wiggly was incredible. They thought the humans had a knack for killing each other through song and dance, it was nothing compared to the shoppers frenzy that ensued on the “Black Friday” reboot. But then one of the young ones began to notice things – things she shouldn’t be able to see. They’d hidden Janet away but it seemed she had managed to communicate with one of them anyway… as something called a “Webby”.

*snap*

The next reboot was complete madness. Tinky had taken a special interest in Ted, making him believe he had managed to travel back in time before getting stuck in the past, completely breaking him. Paul, who they had convinced was a clone of himself, killed Emma along with who he thought was an Android Emma (though was a demon in a human suit). Tom was… somehow in love with a car, and the Lords in Black weren’t sure which of them made that happen. And Hannah – Hannah got to meet their new character – Willabella Muckwab. It was going great – until “Webby” managed to make an appearance again.

*snap*

Ted was pretending to be the Hatchetfield Ape-man.

*snap*

Bill and Alice were stood in a fair ground, a gun raised between them.

*snap*

Someone was killing off all the “nerdy prudes” at the high school.

*snap*

They just wondered how long they could keep doing this, rebooting and rebooting, before the Good Place found out.
