I've never heard of Ethan Doesn't Die and i feel like a fake fan, can someone give me an overview of the plot?

It's a cut nightmare time story where Lex, Ethan & Hannah were heading to California. They stop at a hotel where Lex kinda knows the owner because she used to stay there as a kid with Pamela. Ethan realizes that they don't have enough money to make to Cali and decides to steal from the owner, the owner chases him and Ethan drives off a cliff and dies. I think the owner gets hurt or something and has Lex become the new owner? Lex & Hannah meet brothers Jake & Alfie, Jake is Lex's age and Alfie is Hannah's age. Hannah gets sad over a bird dying and Alfie brings it back to life, Hannah tells him to not that and I think get in a an argument, he then overhears her saying she wished Ethan hadn't died and he revives him, only Ethan is bad and evil and he like kills everyone but he's immortal and can't die so he just watches as the world eventually ends. End of episode.

Frank calling Ethan Lex's "no good boyfriend" in black friday Vs Tony saying that Ethan was good kid until he met Lex in Ethan Doesn't Die

false lashes is a band from the hatchetverse that my friends and i have made oc's for and are being silly about. and. i want to share that with people! if you want more info, lemme know!

some sillies we've done:

the 2 opposite ends of Previously Not Known By The General Public nightmare time stories spectrum

The Hatchetmen worship Webby

In the cut Nightmare Time story Ethan Doesn't Die, Alfie, who has resurrection powers, shows a strong dislike for Webby. According to Hannah, Webby also dislikes Alfie's power. This is interesting because Alfie's power is reminiscent of the powers from Yellow Jacket, and in Yellow Jacket, Webby doesn't want Hannah to compete. That's mainly because she doesn't want Hannah to fight Pokey, but the Gift can still be connected to the Lords in Black.

In addition to the Lords in Black being able to send visions to people with the Gift, many members of The Church of the Starry Children, who worship the Lords in Black, were executed by the Hatchetmen for witchcraft. The Hatchetmen have a history of killing people who have the Gift by turning them into trees, and the network formed by these trees is referred to by Hannah in The Witch in the Web as "a web. We know that Webby doesn't get along with her brothers, so what if she is the patron of a faction whose enemies worship the Lords in Black? This could explain how the vehemently anti-magic Hatchetmen have the supernatural ability to turn people into trees.

Fav thing I did today was add Jake from Ethan Doesn't Die (cut NT ep) into our roleplay and make his face claim a picture of goth/punk/idek Jack Wolfe he kinda slays

I'm currently rewatching nightmare time and right now I'm watching Daddy and- I had totally forgotten that Ted is in that episode and that we do see him die in the nmt2 timeline. And it happens on the day of the honey festival. You know what that means? Pete says he's gonna miss the honey festival because of abstinence camp. Pete is going through everything happening at abstinence camp just to come back and be told that his brother was murdered while he was gone. That scene in abstinence camp where Ted is taking Pete to idontwannabang? That's the last time nmt2!Pete ever sees his brother.

Scream characters who would’ve loved/probably loved/love Lana Del Rey:

Billy Loomis? (I’m not sure.)

Tatum Riley

ROMAN BRIDGER. (There’s just something about him. And he’s got Mommy Issues! LANA-CODED! ✌🏽😩)

Angelina Tyler (Script Angelina, for sure!)

Olivia Morris

LIV MCKENZIE. (She is a Lana Girl™, through and through! 💗)

Honorary mention to Vince Schneider for being the exact type of guy Lana writes songs about!

Amber Freeman? (She fits, but did she actually listen to Lana? That is the question…)

Sam Carpenter loves “Ride,” “A&W,” “hope is a dangerous thing…” and “…Ocean Blvd” because she feels them very deeply.

Ethan… Bailkirshdry. (Boy just wanted to get fucked and kill people for fun (along with avenging his big brother), and if that ain’t Lana-coded… I don’t know what is!)

"The indomitable human spirit" yeah that's just ethan... Or Michael, Elizabeth, and Jack those bitches die and yet come back and keep fighting

I hate that I wish they didn't cut Ethan Doesn't Die.

It's just such and interesting story I wish we could have seen it.

Maybe they could bring it back, with Joey, but it would be besides the original joke that it was, so I know it most likely never will be performed :(

Hey Melissa, Dream Machine, City of Bastards, and Ethan Doesn't Die doodles

Guys This Throws A Small Wrench In My Plans

anyway.... got to figure out how to work around it but its silly

Manifesting AUs I no longer have the time or ability to start on

i just really love the trope where this very “joyful and bright and flashy” place is considered a place of great conflict. like wonderland in greater boston. it’s this big, beautiful theme park which is mainly associated in gb as, like, a place to escape to in the event of a tragedy.

what with nica taking leon there to help him “cope with his breakup,” or charlotte going there to take her mind of off her lack of direction, or the evicted residents of red line heading there for refuge after they’re torn out of their homes, and less notably, phil needing to use wonderland as a bargaining chip to get himself out of jail...

the place is typically associated with disaster and grief as well, since it’s leon’s death place, after all, and the history of tragedies it’s had (the burning robots...) just failure after failure after failure. it was renovated after leon’s death, and even AFTER that, the whole place becomes completely abandoned, once oliver, the current owner, “dies” after his wife divorces him.

wonderland’s place in the story is defined by escapism, grief, and disaster, and most of the time, when you go to wonderland, you don’t get what you’re looking for (nica took leon there to cheer him up, but he actually got so distressed that he died, charlotte went there and rode all of the rides and it didn’t do anything for her, and who knows what it might become for the new residents...)

with all of this in mind, it begs the question: what exactly does it mean, that ethan wants wonderland back so badly...?

ok so theres this thing called Ethan Doesn't Die (a cut NMT episode) and I have become obsessed with the characters so I'm giving them a backstory and stuff. help me.

Jake was freshly 16 when he took Alfie and ran away from their deadbeat uncle and his manipulative wife in Hatchetfield. Alfie was 10. 10 years old and being dragged from his home, from his friends and his life, leaving it all behind him for the ‘greater good,’ as Jake called it. It was reckless of him, he knew that. But he had to get out. He had to get him and Alfie out, because neither of them were safe there.

Not since Alfies powers got found out.

Granted, they weren’t all that safe before their uncle and his wife found out. Uncle Tanner was abusive, mostly by neglect. And his new wife, Tammy, was a drunk who used her nephews as a way to get a better sob story, and in return, better donations on the street. So life was shit, and then Uncle Tanner ended up in hospital, and everything went even further to hell.

Alfie had always been a good kid. Despite Uncle Tanner’s behavior toward the nephews he was solely responsible for, Aflie still tried to help. Upon returning from the hospital, the kid ran up to his uncle and wrapped his arms around his broken leg, a faint glow emitting from them as the broken bone somehow miraculously healed. 

And then the Terrible T’s (as nicknamed by Jake) freaked on poor little Alfie. They called up a preacher to pray away his “demon blood.” 

It didn’t work, because of course it didn’t. Alfie had a gift, and that wasn’t something a pervert under the Lord could take away from him.

So Tammy, in all of her drunken glory, got a better idea than yelling bible verses at a child until he cried so much he passed out. She was going to use his powers to her advantage. 

She started parading Alfie around like some sort of circus act, getting people to pay money for him to heal even the smallest of wounds. He was a cash cow, and a cash cow only. Tammy didn’t see him as a real person. Neither did Uncle Tanner, though he rarely saw Alfie or Jake at all.

i’m sure i’ll inevitably grow attached to this new doctor, since that’s what always happens when someone new comes to holby, but. i do wish they’d waited at least a few months before bringing in a new face, rather than right after ethan’s departure...
