#queen in white
i have some Thoughts on webby being referred to as a “queen in white”
queen is a higher title than lord, implying that she’s older than her brothers, even though the web i spin for you (which seemed to be about her being betrayed by a mentor figure, presumably older than her) very heavily features the five dolls, implying she’s singing about them.
however. back around s1, i had a theory that the character that betrayed webby was a father of some sort (mainly based on the line “daddy’s gonna get you” from the theme song). while, notably, there is an episode called daddy, fatherhood also seems to be a general theme in the hatchetfield series. the metzger boys all refer to bob as “daddy”, and we have two major characters, bill and tom, who are both fathers on questionable terms with their children.
and in killer track, the black book is stated to contain an image of a family tree of eldritch monsters. wouldn’t be much of a tree if there were just the six siblings, would it?
i sorta gave up on that theory a while ago, but i think it may still have some ground here.
as for why webby is referred to as a queen: maybe their parents died, leaving her as the technical ruler of the black and white, but her brothers outnumbered her and they all sided with wiggly. or maybe their parents are still alive, but the black and white is divided into two and webby is the first (or maybe only) inhabitant of the latter (remember, it’s referred to as the black and white, but wiggly’s domain is a pitch black void) (then again, her being the ruler of the other half of this void by process of elimination could still mean she’s younger). or maybe the brothers lang just thought it sounded cool and none of this means anything idk
Oh I love all of this
op you’re absolutely onto something
