So as you may or may not have seen last week Matt Lang confirmed the Hatchetfield timeline split. (you can see the clip here).
So I thought it was about time I updated my timeline diagram for Nightmare Time 2 (and also just general changes I’ve made in my own head since I last made it). Anyways here’s timeline theory 4.0.
So as we all know NMT2 takes place on one singular timeline so I decided to sit down and take a guess at the order of events. I spent literal hours reading through the scripts to make this lol
I think Casey might be on of Miss Holloway’s three girls…
Okay so on one of her streams recently Mariah said this (I’ve edited out the game dialogue bits in-between)
And it got me thinking…
We’ve all pretty much guessed for a year that the 80s pop star on Casey’s shirt was Miss Holloway but NMT2 all but confirmed it… “the whole world has FORGOTTEN”. The pop star is one of Miss Holloway’s old personas!!!!
I (and I’m sure everyone) just assumed this was an “oh it’s been a while since the 80s lost to time” sort of thing BUT NO!! THEY’VE ACTUALLY FORGOTTEN HER. So we have such a clear connection between Miss Holloway and Casey already and then I kept thinking about what Mariah said.
Casey is dead right?? She got buried by the Hatchet Men meaning she had the gift and she was killed for it. That sure as hell sounds like someone who Miss Holloway couldn’t save right?? And to add onto this Mariah played one of the girls in the 3-girl creature!! Add that to the fact that Casey was the only tree-person named and that Nick is discussing her character with Mariah (he wouldn’t do that for a one-off background character) I think it’s very likely we’re gonna be seeing Miss Casey again and it’s gonna be HEARTBREAKING
Zoey Chambers (the barista) is dead, and Linda Monroe is too (as is her husband, Gerald)
Emma Perkins and Ziggs are both in jail for killing Nighthawks, and the entire farmland burned to the ground
Also those Hatchet dudes from the woods whose names I can’t remember are dead (killed by the birds)
Grace Chastity is now the head of Abstinence Camp?? and looking very murdery
The Lumberaxe is still out there somewhere in the woods
Miss Holloway is legally dead, and but she’s still around as a guidance counselor and now goes by Miss Holliday
Duke also does not recognize her, not really (and that’s all I’m gonna say about that because if I get more detailed I’ll start fucking sobbing again)
Sherman Young is now a seven-year old kid (physically) and is like?? a cultist?? now??
Also Frank Pricely is now Sherman’s “Daddy” ugh
Speaking of which, Ted Spankoffski is also dead, and Peter - his brother - does not know that yet (that we know of)
Speaking of Peter, he and Stephanie Lauter have a little thing going on (not that that’s like super relevant, just something I think we should remember)
And here are the things we know about the finale so far
Mariah will be appearing as Webby
Lex, Ethan, and Hannah will all be in the episode (and it’s seeming like it’s centered around Hannah)
There are other kids with superpowers, and Bryce is playing one of them, named Spitfire, who I’m pretty sure can either summon blasts of fire or blow things up (context from the name and the reel she posted)
These superpowered kids are all competing against one another in this weird competition for money
Hannah is competing because she had an “accident” in shop class (maybe taught by Tom Houston?) and Lex can’t pay the enormous medical bill for whatever it is that happens to Hannah
Curt is playing a new character named Eddie Chiplucky
James is playing another new character name Charles
The entire cast will be featured in this episode
Nick has insinuated that the villain of the episode is similar to Lumberaxe in that they’re “hoping they can pull it off” like they did with him
The final number of the series features everyone in the cast
Anyways I think this episode is gonna hit GOOD and I will definitely be freaking out over it so GET YO TICKETS AND GO SUPPORT THESE AMAZING PEEPS
Sorry for all the Starkid content (no I’m not) and no majorspoilers for Killer Track (it’s kind of a spoiler), but that episode fucking DESTROYED me Kim and Curt how fucking dare you play with my emotions like that
I was on vacation so I didn’t get to watch on time but anyway…
Ofc we’re all upset over what happened to Buddy
It’s confirmed that Miss Holloway’s love for the 80s includes He-man/She-ra
Nick Lang liked Sherman’s outfit in Daddy. And yeah, it’s a good outfit
Curt said “Miss Frizz WISHES she was as cool” as Miss Holloway
So, does anyone wanna draw the Suggies?
Of course everyone’s simping for Sheila… For now
Nick Lang said the beginning of the Suggies song is based on Gummi Bears
Everyone’s really getting into the Daddy count
“Discipline Daddy” is Nick’s fave
Once people kept saying Sheila’s a vampire, Nick Lang had to tell the chat that she’s not because she could walk in the sun
Sherman’s Gen X cuz he’s 41
Notable comment from Aurawarrior 13: So Rose is into Tumblr sexymen?
Hype for Duke
If I had a nickel for every time Jaime and Corey played a married couple in this episode, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s still weird that it happened twice.
The Black Book was made and illustrated by the incredibly talented Meg Lloyd
Starkid’s tw for the Killer Track song is: this song is a little loud… And it’ll kill you
Curt did the editing for the Killer Track music video and his inspo was the tunnel scene from Willy Wonka
Also no, Bliklotep is not mentioned in the song, but one of the flashing images is an eye
Lots of people got worried about Holly the kitty being given milk, but Nick assured us she’s perfectly safe
Miss Holloway’s first name stays a secret
Everyone was freaking out about finding out all there stories in this season really are connected
Everyone loves the Run Away With Me music video ofc
People in the chat are saying Barry’s in a hurry to play ddr lmao
And while I know that’s not really what happened, it’s definitely giving me an idea for a story.
If the Killer Track is a being of sound that seeks victims to prey on. Then it would be interesting if Zoey’s soul is corrupted by dark forces to create a new killer track-esque entity. One that seeks revenge on those who humiliated her during the pageant, one that seeks to fucking trend.
The killer track had to be a creature associated with pokey right? A being from pokey’s corner of the black and white? I mean, music that needs to kill and feed on lots of people. Very similar to the Blue Shit. Plus the mask in the music video part
Can’t stop thinking about the doomed cyclical persisting romance of Duke Keane and Miss Holloway. It’s an old song and we’ll sing it again, because maybe this time it’ll come out right. I’ll tell you my name over and over again and maybe one day you’ll remember it. Every kiss is our first kiss and every first kiss is our last. One day you’ll look me in the eye and you’ll recognize me. One day I’ll call your name and you’ll turn around and you’ll see me. As I am. As I have always been. One day I’ll die in your arms and you won’t call the ambulance. One day we’ll find a loophole and I won’t have to walk away. One day you’ll know everything about me. One day I’ll hear you say my name. One day. Next time. This time, if I try hard enough. It makes me insane.
What if this time Orpheus turns and I don’t have to disappear?
