Well! Today I learned about a song known as The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet. A random song recorded by one guy in Germany in the 80s, no one knows the name of the song, the band, even the year.

Well, almost no one.

That's Satan's Night Out. Before my time.

Have you really lost ALL their recordings already?

I told you they were pretty good! I mean, I put the Romantic Period back in Romantigoth but the raw material was there.

However, I have NOTHING to do with "ulterior motives." No memory of that one.

It's a bop tho.

Some thoughts while I'm watching Nerdy Prudes Must Die for the first time:

After the Big Game, something that's been itching my brain for a while came back- Clivesdale. Hatchet Town is reinforcing this, but since Black Friday and Honey Queen the Clivesdale hate has really started to stand out to me. Yes it's a funny gag, but the Hatchetfield disdain for Clivesdale is straight-up cultish. Laura Cunningham (I think was her name?) had lived in Hatchetfield for 15 years, but was entirely excommunicated when it came out that she was from Clivesdale. Keep in mind, she was well-liked enough to be a Honey Queen candidate. Two teenagers are brutally murdered and everyone is more focused on the loss against the Chemists. Even people who hate Hatchetfield like Emma and Ziggy hate Clivesdale more. The general population of Hatchetfield is so feverish. I know that the Wiggly doll riots happened all over the world, but holy SHIT it didn't take any time at all for Hatchetfield to totally cave in on itself!

Here's the other thing that gets me- has anyone ever really left Hatchetfield? Anyone who wanted to?

•Emma Perkins has exactly one life goal- not to die in Hatchetfield. Her entire life had been, up until Jane's death, about getting away from Hatchetfield. She is officially pronounced dead after the explosion at Starlight Theatre, though she survived in Clivesdale Hospital. She only lived for a couple weeks after "dying" in Hatchetfield. She also dies almost immediately after returning to her hometown in the events of Forever and Always. She does not die after the fire at her weed farm, but she is arrested and presumably imprisoned in Hatchetfield.

•Frank Pricely is imprisoned by Sherman Young after his attempted escape.

•Alice Woodward dies in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals before she can leave for college. In fact, she dies after skipping the bus to Clivesdale

•Lex and Hannah Foster (along with Ethan Greene) have plans to escape Hatchetfield and head to California. All of them die before they can even get past Nantucket bridge.

•Zoey Chambers wants to win Honey Queen for the funds to get out of Hatchetfield. In both Honey Queen and The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals she dies before she has the chance to leave.

•Jonathan Brisby attempts to retrieve Lucy Stockworth from Hatchetfield. Brisby dies in the woods, Lucy disappears in the same woods with the Woolyfoot.

•Jenny and Andy planned to move to Clivesdale, but Jenny dies before she can leave, and by the time Andy becomes Andrew Killgore he's back at CCRP in Hatchetfield. Obviously this is wobbly because of timeline shenanigans, but it's implied that Ted didn't actually cross timelines during the events of Time Bastard, just fucked around in his own a lot.

There's just something. There's something about Hatchetfield. It's like a black hole. If it wants you there, and it does, you always end up there, and it's not likely you'll leave a second time.

Something about the ambient affects of the town absolutely fascinates me, I've been thinking about this stuff for like 5 years and it's not gotten old to me yet

Open Arms (WIP) | EPIC The Musical animatic 🌊

THE "EPIC" ALBUM DROPPED AND IMMEDIATELY GRABBED HOLD OF MY CREATIVE ENERGY SO HERE'S ONE LAST VID BEFORE THE NEW YEAR 🌊✨

(Or: The first official concept album for the greek-mythology-inspired musical I’ve been following over on TikTok dropped over Christmas and listening to it left me absolutely POSSESSED by the spirit of animation so I churned out this lil' snippet super-quickly in between hella deadline work and holiday hectic-ness sdgksgfh -- I'd love to chip away at this more throughout the new year if I can, but for now I just had to show some love for the AMAZING work Jorge and the entire cast and crew put into the show's first album! Can't wait to hear the rest!! 💖)

🍂🦝 SITE, STORE & SOCIALS 🦝🍂 

(and a link to the album in question in case any of y’all wanna get hooked on it too)

Everything about these moments makes me sob.

For this little kid, who’s not only non-verbal but also has broken horns, to come up to Fizz and communicate how much they love and look up to him and how much Fizz inspires them, it’s a reminder of why Fizz loves performing. It’s about the audience. All of the different types of people in the audience. Impacting them and giving them an experience they’ll never forget.

Fizz used to be that audience. He was that little kid who was inspired to pursue performing and now he gets to inspire kids too. And he especially gets to inspire those kids who are just like him.

He might’ve been a teenager when he was injured, but that doesn’t change the impact Fizz has on people as a disabled person who is still able to live his life how he wants it.

Like he said last episode, he’s not broken. He has his prosthetic limbs, he has Ozzie, someone who loves him, and a thriving career.

So having this little kid with a disability and the same broken horns as Fizz, it truly shows how impactful Fizz as a disabled performer is.

This kid is inspired that someone who has a disability like them is able to live out their dream. Fizz is a reminder that they too can achieve their dream of performing no matter what.

And the fact Fizz was able to communicate with this little kid, you can see that meant everything. The way their eyes light up each time Fizz responds is truly incredible.

Fizz is able to be the role model for this kid that Mammon should’ve been for him.

Not to mention that Fizz’s own broken horns aren’t known to the public, this little kid doesn’t know Fizz also looks like them in this regard, Fizz hides his horns under his jester hat so he looks “perfect”, but this kid’s broken horns are out and proud. This kid is not ashamed, and Fizz shouldn’t be either.

This is part of who they are and we see Fizz embrace every part of himself during his final performance when he rips apart his clothes to show off his prosthetic arms and scarred body.

And that thank you to this kid that Fizz gives them, it’s not only a thank you for being part of the audience, it’s a thank you for reminding him why he loves performing and that they inspired him too.

Fizz sees himself in this little kid just as this little kid sees themself in Fizz and I think that’s beautiful.

Thinking about season 4 and Vecna and how it makes no sense. I'm just baffled thinkin' about it and wanna vent a lil.

Why did he make it a ritual? He didn't have to do that. There was no reason he had to torment people with visions for a week other than... what? so we can see he enjoys tormenting others? We got that message when we learned he wanted to murder his entire family for no reason.

Stranger Things is sci-fi for its genre, not fantasy. He wasn't like, actually casting a spell that he needed to follow an exact ritual for to make it happen, or even having a fear that deviating would make the spell go wrong. Because it's not a spell.... that could... go wrong. It's just Vecna being a wierdo.

When taking Max didn't work in the graveyard, why didn't he immediately take Patrick to keep his timeline? Why did he wait? And on that vain, why was it important to know when Eddie's watched died to see when Vecna takes vistims because... he tried to take Max at a different time then the others. It was board daylight in the middle of a cemetery. Why that deviation? What was the point of a schedule he was willing to break but only for Max?

Also, they gave us that scene of Vecna like... reading everyone's minds all rapid-like to show how easy all this was for Vecna. How did he not know about them coming to try and kill him? and if he did know, why didn't he just... do it an hour sooner so he'd be done before they ever got to him? Why not send all the demobats while they were using power tools to fortify the trailer?

It's silly to think Vecna wouldn't spy on them again after he gave Nancy that message. That he wouldn't be using them to try and find Eleven. Dude hass got So Much Free Time. The cursing takes like, what, 20 minutes outta his day??? What's he doing with the rest of his 23 hours and 40 minutes?

Vecna was a shit villain who could have been terrifying, and the show falls flat on that.

Imagine how much for horrifying it would be to try and make a plan you can't actually plan because the enemy will know what you've planned if you actually plan it? Imagine the stress added if everyone is trying to constantly think of other things so Vecna can't gleam any information for them.

if anyone asks

tell them ive ascended to heaven

DICE ANON MADE AN ANIMATIC AND IM LOSING MY SHIT

"Didn't complete it, don't really care. Some colors are totally off and often times characters just have entirely different colors even if their scenes are right after each other lol. anyways, hope you enjoy :) -🎲"

im still. aughhgahgahg oim going to bite this into pieces and chew it and touch it with my eyesballs im losing my mind

woops, you're pathologizing a normal human behaviour again

Me when the Dislyte OST:

Last time one of you recommended me a Taylor Swift song to listen to it was My Tears Ricochet and I thought about Claudia for a week. So at least SOME of you are Swifties. So why didn't ANYONE tell me that Daylight would make me run across the room and grab Louis, lost in memories of the moment when I saw him again after a hundred years, fully illuminated by the false daylight of electric lighting?

Why does this woman DO this to you?

Polites and Odysseus’ mum were singing their final thoughts before they died

Fuck you, get off my blog/j

do you ever get an idea in your head and you can’t get it out unless you draw it. that’s what this is basically

also based on this scenario i came up with in a fit of Evilness

girl who got hit with one of those super well-known overplayed songs that lost their punch over time until you listen to it one day and they just fucking bulldoze you

the Hatchetfield universe is so big and there are so many delightful characters & stories I wanna make art for that I usually don't do anything bc I'm paralyzed by indecision—hence my discord nickname, the indecisive sniggle 💀—but if I can tiptoe around the whole 'choosing' part that gets me stuck I think I could probably draw a little more frequently, so uh...

would y'all wanna help me test this theory?

I've never really tried taking drawing requests before so idk how this will go, but my asks are open (and anon is on for the super shy folks) so what the hell. let's give it a shot.

Some quick rules/disclaimers under the cut:

if you send a request please be patient & understand that I might not do every one

not every drawing will be completed to the same level of polish—I expect there will be a mix of doodles & sketches & a mayhaps few properly Finished ones if inspiration strikes

let's keep the requests to Hatchetfield for now... I wanna do art for other SK shows (and TCB, and Shipwrecked, and Pulp) so maybe if this goes well I'll take turns going thru requests for the others in the future, idk! we'll see!

...I meant to save this as a draft to post it at not-3-in-the-morning but tumblr was dumb. oh well. i guess if i wake up to stuff in my inbox it'll be a nice start to the day! 😂😅

ranking the songs in the new matilda movie by how much they made me want to cry

2. miracle

1. every single other song made me want to curl up into a fetal position and SOB

sorry about that last rambling post, i didnt mean to sound like its worse than it may be, but i got no ... lense to view it through but my own, and the main reason i wrote it out anyway was bc i needed to get it out (even if posting it might be not the greatest idea) .. and bc it kinda showcases, i think, how my stories kinda write themselves, involuntarily in a way? its not like im not putting in any effort- but its like .. i cant STOP it always keeps going and even the dumbest idea stays in some form, its very hard to get everything in place bc theres so much going on all the while i am very slow at making anything, writing or drawing anything, especially anythign coherent is very hard bc not only do i get constantly distracted, i get distracted by my own thoughts suddendly skipping to a certain scene and me having to go throguh imagining in detail NO MATTER how many times i have done it before for the same scene that i already decided on how it goes, when theres a new idea it can take over my entire day bc i cant let go of it-

not trying to sound either like im the only that has that sort of problem, but i think its a big part as of why i start tso many projects without being able to finish them, or even start them bc i constantly have to fight my own thoughts from derailing into another daydream session, thinking of too much too fast than i can ever draw or even write about and not knowing what is worthwhile and what isnt (im telling you i have no idea what is good and what isnt, idk why but for all i know all things i do could be trash, or they all could be bad, maybe the one i thinnk is decent is actually worse than the things i deem not good enough and once i start to think no this isnt good enough i stop having fun making or thinking it bc im trying to do better

honestly its kind of impressive that i can get anything out at all, not to pat myself on the back there but even if i hate how long it takes me, considering how much im having to work just to start working on something at all, the fact that i could post stuff coherent enough for some people to understand AND LIKE is something i should be a little more proud of
