I have been saying from the start that the Yellow Jacket song had Alanis Morissette vibes and Nick confirmed that was really what they were going for
Nick Lang: Look how angsty Lex is. She’ll eat cake and spit it everywhere. She doesn’t give a fuck.
Steph’s a senior and Hannah’s a freshman
I think it’s cool that even if Mariah was originally going to play Lex, but didn’t get to, she still gets to play sisterly roles to Hannah. Like Steph and Webby.
Nick Lang: Tom and Hannah are flannel buddies
GoodMorningButch called Tom “Lumberdad”
Curt did the editing for Hannah’s vision
People were either giving hospital billing tips or were glad they’re not American
Praise for Joey’s hair
And no, Nick Lang doesn’t know how Joey makes his hair look that good
Notable comment from frog uncle: yes queen manifest a working finger"
dragonpotter said the exact same thing I did: MILF WEBBY
The sadness Webby felt when Hannah told her Lex is unhappy hits differently after knowing that Webby and Lex used to be close too
Webby is also broke/has no money. Relatable queen.
Curt was channeling his Texas roots for Eddie Chiplucky
The first time the arena is shown, the lights are purple, blue, and green
We love Jeff’s announcer look, yes
DANIEL TIME BABY MY BELOVED
Bryce made her own costumes and she absolutely slayed. As Curt said, she’s “like and octuple threat”
Lots of theories about the kids being linked to certain LiBs
Nick Lang: Spitfire isn’t really tall so much as Stopwatch is very small.
So Daniel’s literally babie and I love the irony that it’s Jon, who’s really tall himself, playing him
Nick Lang said Daniel’s power is inspired by a character from Dragonball Z
Nessie V pointed out that he has a blue headband
Pokey-man
Curt Mega said Stranger Things stole this
Everyone’s happy about Hannah getting new friends
“Hannah’s got her foot on the gas” hell yeah she does
“Ethan sells NFTs”
Curt Mega: DIANECOIN TO THE MOON
Everyone freaking out about the bounce house
That bounce house stuff must have been really good for Ethan to decide he wants to marry Lex the day after lmao jk
The way people are worried that the danger in this story is Ethan and Lex not being responsible with money and wasting it all
Took a while for a lot of folks to conclude that Otho is the LiB Pokotho
Nick Lang said the Otho puppet is too complicated to operate for the stage
Curt Mega: Several of the muppets auditioned for this role [Otho] but they just didn’t have the chops
Really, why would anyone be sus of Daniel, he’s just baby?
The way people were panicking over Hannah’s Hubris is great
Even after saying McNamara’s not in the episode, there’s still someone inevitably wanting McNamara to help when Hannah shuts Webby out
Charles is confirmed to be a cryptobro
Not a lot predicted Webby coming to Lex for help, but more people did during the first time it came out last year
SAY THE LINE OTHO
The confusion that the bomb in the head worked for killing Otho, but it didn’t work when Paul blew up the meteor
Phone gun!
HELP MY TEARS ROLLED BACK INTO MY EYES UPON REALIZING THE BG MUSIC IS SNOOZLE TOWN WHEN ETHAN WAKES UP TO LOOK FOR LEX AND HANNAH
Confusion aside, it’s still really painful hearing Lex tell Ethan that Hannah’s not his sister when he clearly treats her like one and is willing to make it official by wanting to marry Lex, despite everything and despite the arguments they recently had
After watching Daddy “Be young for all of us” kiiiiiinda hits different ngl
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
AU where the other gifted kids also stood up to Charles that way Lex and Hannah wouldn’t have felt so threatened that they had to leave Hatchetfield and Hannah gets to stay with her friends and Ethan would have had his opportunity to propose to Lex.
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.
So if droid23 spends their honeymoon at a lake house near Starry Cove, and Starry Cove is linked to the Church of the Starry Children, then whoever might actually own the house they stay might be a member of the cult. So then that could also mean this is most likely someone Paul and Emma know personally.
Since it’s implied in Perky’s Buds that the Perkins are linked to the Hatchetmen, then it must be Paul’s side with the connection to the Church of the Starry Children.
So yeah, this further adds on to the Gifted Paul theory.
The other possibility is that it’s the same house Deb had a party in during Watcher World. But then that would mean Paul and Deb are linked in some way. Which also works for me since Jon and Jaime look alike anyway. It’s just a little bit less fun.
ooh y'know? i think it’d be fully possible in-universe to make like,,, otho-fied versions of most of the other lords in black. like, artificial human vessels that encase their power. cause like, otho was made by combining pokey’s blue shit with human dna. hear me out.
at the end of watcher world, alice shoots blinky and he bleeds out a river of oily purple goo. take some of that goo, splash it in with human dna, and you’ve got otho, blinky edition (if we’re following the same naming conventions here, then i guess his name would be lotep?). maybe take some of nibbly’s saliva, do the same thing, and BAM! kid with a mouth for a face, let’s call him “nephim”.
tinky’s an odd case bc he already appears as a guy in a bodysuit, but like,,, i guess if you plucked some hair off of said bodysuit, you could make a more humanoid tinky? if you so desired?? let’s go with “axis” for his name. only one i can’t see this working with is wiggly, unless the fur on the tickle-me-wiggly dolls counts as his dna? we can call him,,, “rath”, i guess?
Ooh. But I am also curious of what they’d look like if they took human-looking forms like Webby did. Because if Webby could, then surely the LiBs could too. Sure, they don’t want to take those forms, but it’d be fun to imagine. And come to think of it, they could use those forms to hide amongst humans to determine who would be the best for them to use to carry out their plans.
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
Does anyone else suspect that Peanuts the Pocket Squirrel isn’t a dark entity, but is actually the mortal vessel of one of the Queens in White? Like how Otho was Pokey’s mortal vessel? From what I understand, the Queens in White used to rule over The Black and White until the Lords in Black overthrew them. It’s implied that the Lords killed every Queen except for Webby, who managed to escape the wrath of her brothers. But what if another Queen was able to escape? I’d imagine that this escaped Queen was very weakened by the war, so a fragment of her essence escaped to the mortal world and took up residence inside a pocket squirrel. It could explain why Peanuts is always the sole survivor of all the cataclysmic events that take place in TGWDLM and Black Friday. Also, the lyrics in Peanuts’ song in Nightmare Time confirm that she’s fully aware and sentient. Idk this is just a silly little theory I have.
