One of my favorite moments from the livestream: Jeff reading the Bottle Imps script, practicing the little WAA that his character does then IMMEDIATELY realizing it’s all he has to do and going “I have one line 😐”
Unlocked Via a stretch goal for the Cinderella's castle fundraising campaign: Workin' boys is now available to non-kickstarter backers on YouTube!!! Premiered during the Hatchetfield Halloween party in October last year, It was unlisted and only available to those who backed black Friday, but now everyone can watch it thanks to the CS crowdfunding effort. Those people who hadn't seen workin' boys now can!!!
The new starkid actor who plays the character with a direct link to the musicals title (Jon [Paul], Angela [Lex], Will [Max])
The two characters that fall for each other over the course of the musical (Paulkins, Barneston, Lautski)
That interlude song about a musical that is a part of the Hatchetverse but has nothing to do with what's happening at that point in the show. (Workin' Boys, Santa Clause is Goin' to Highschool, The Barbeque Monologues)
The single dad who thinks he knows what’s best for his kid but is pretty misguided (Bill + Alice Woodward, Tom + Tim Houston, Solomon + Steph Lauter)
The song where everyone in town goes insane (La Dee Dah Dah Day, Feast or Famine, Hatchet Town)
Jeff Blim's commentary on something probably (America's Great Again, Made in America, Just For Once)
And now to interrupt our segment - DAN AND DONNA WITH THE HATCHETFIELD ACTION NEWS
That one CREEPY AF song that comes out of nowhere (Join Us (And Die), Do You Want to Play, The Summoning)
The “smoke club” gesture
That part of the musical where a main character almost dies but then is saved by someone appearing on stage. (Paul + McNamara, Lex + McNamara, Pete + Max)
Then there's that one character who's morality was already questionable but then they give into the eldritch gods without any supernatural coercion (Prof. Hidgens, Linda Monroe, Grace Chastity)
Those precious few seconds where you think everything is going to be alright but the apocalypse lives on
Oh, and Paul Matthews and Emma Perkins finding each other… as they always do
my favourite physical gag in any Hatchetfield show ever is in 'What Do You Want, Paul?' when Mr. Davidson mimes the outline of a woman but doesn't stop at two curves and in fact keeps drawing curves all the way to the floor.
I just know he would've kept going if the floor wasnt there. Infinite curves. The ideal woman is actually just a really tall snowman
i’m literally shaking, crying, and throwing up for everybody to read this if you even care a little bit about nerdy prudes must die
you guys, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, when you are making your npmd song rankings and doing your commentary i am BEGGING YOU to LISTEN to the music underscoring lauren lopez when she’s singing her face off in “just for once.”
i CANNOT watch ONE MORE video where somebody brings up the “cool as i think i am” motif coming back up during “nerdy prudes must die,” “if i loved you reprise,” and “dirty dudes must die” AND NOBODY KNOWS THAT IT IS ALSO IN “JUST FOR ONCE” BECAUSE JEFF BLIM IS A SNEAKY BASTARD AND HE DECIDED TO UNDERSCORE RUTH SCREAMING HER DREAMS WITH HER WHOLE CHEST WITH THE SAME FUCKING MOTIF.
go listen to “just for once” again, and when lauren lopez gets on her knees in the climax of the song and starts absolutely devouring her three just for once’s, during that build and build and build, THE MOTIF WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE OF “if i can finally be cool i will know that i’m not a loser” IS FUCKING PLAYING.
PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU!! I AM ON MY KNEES SHAKING!!
AND ANOTHER THING
THE MOTIF SHOWS UP WHEN YOU THINK SOMEBODY IS ABOUT TO DIE. IT IS SUPPOSED TO COME UP WHEN SOMEBODY HAS THE POTENTIAL OF DYING. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DIE. BUT AFTER MAX DIES THE MOTIF RETURNS EVERY TIME THEY WANT YOU TO THINK SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE. IT PLAYS WHEN RICHIE DOES DIE. IT PLAYS WHEN RUTH DOES DIE. IT PLAYS WHEN WE THINK PETE IS ABOUT TO DIE. IT PLAYS WHEN GRACE IS ABOUT TO KILL JASON. PLEASE.
Final Casting Reveal Unlocked! Jeff Blim will be your guide into The Lands That Are as the Narrator.
Storyteller and song singer, he shall weave a spellbinding tale.
