I wrote a poem about Linda Monroe from the perspective of gossipers and announcers at pageants/contests, sort of examining how Linda was viewed for her entire life (maybe I’ve watched too much Toddlers & Tiaras?):
Let’s welcome to the stage contestant number 5
Little Linda Murray, a beauty queen hopeful
She’s only five, isn’t she a picture?
Simply ravishing, she has her mother’s beauty
Her mother was our Honey Queen, how will her heir fare?
She likes playing with her dolls and pleasing her father
We’re told she bleached her teeth by herself
Her routine is so rehearsed - oh, she’s been practicing without sleep for months?
Her father must be so proud of her
For your consideration - Linda Murray for Little Miss Hatchetfield
Let’s welcome to the stage prom queen candidate Miss Linda Murray
Isn’t she gorgeous? No expenses were spared
A picture in her pink tulle ballgown, studded with glittering rubies
With her bevy of suitors in tow, each richer than the last
This lucky lady can have her pick of the boys
But what does she offer as a romantic partner?…
Well, she’s beautiful, and… she might be intelligent - certainly eager to please
Could that be seen as attention-seeking? 
What does her father think of her behaviour?
But still, for your consideration - the lovely Linda Murray for your prom queen
Did you hear about Linda Murray- sorry, Monroe’s- wedding?
Well, she looked nice, the dress was pretty
The ceremony was lavish, with an ice sculpture to boot
But don’t you think it was performative? 
Who was the ridiculous splendour for?
Did you know that her father didn’t walk her down the aisle? Oh well, he must’ve been busy
Her husband’s career seems steady, Linda’s made herself a trophy wife
Isn’t it odd? None of us ever emphasised her beauty, doesn’t she have brains beyond her desire to please?
I’d bet anything that this is just for attention on Linda’s part
But still, please welcome to the dance floor the bride and groom, Mr and Mrs Monroe!
Let’s welcome to the clearing, this year’s Honey Queen Linda Monroe!
Isn’t she ravishing? The perfect sacrifice, really
After all, beneath her hunger is that delicious desire to please, for attention
From her husband, from her children, from her father most of all
But did he ever really love her? Well, does it matter?
Such a pity, she’s screaming now, where’s that insufferable confidence?
A shame she only had boys… perhaps the pageant could expand to Honey Kings once they’re older?
Or maybe their daughters could take up the mantle? How will her heirs fare?
And now she’s gone down the hatch, her beauty is no more
There’s no time or reason to mourn her, but still, congratulations to this year’s Honey Queen, Linda Monroe

One of the funniest things about “Hatchet Town” is that over the course of three musicals and Nightmare Time, most, if not a significant number Hatchetfield residents HAVE committed murder or been accomplices/accessories to murder in at least one timeline. To the point where if you randomly accused pretty much anyone in town of being a murderer, there’s a good chance you’d be right.

I saw a headcanon that human!wiggly was using richie’s face during the summoning and I’m a little insane about it. Because if you think about it, it makes total sense.
“Why would Wiggly want to appear as a nerdy prude if his whole thing is power?” I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN BUT HEAR ME OUT.
Do you know how terrifying it would be to see your dead friend’s body being repurposed and puppeted in front of you? You’d be horrified. And that’s what Wiggly wants, in a way. He wants to be feared. If his human form was just another jock, it wouldn’t be as scary would it? After everything Steph, Pete, and Grace had gone through, another jock probably wouldn’t have had much effect on them. But their friend? Who they didn’t even get to fully mourn?? It’s like salt in the wound. They’d be vulnerable. Weak.
And don’t even get me started on the talking mannerisms?? In the boys bathroom scene when Richie says “and what, pray tell, may that be, Stephanie?” it’s the EXACT same way Wiggly says “What’s in your pocket Stephanie?”
To conclude, I love being insane about minuscule details 👍

i don't know if it's actually intentional, or meant to be read this way, but i'm kinda obsessed with how pete seems to subconciously protect steph with his body in the summoning- i refuse to believe otherwise honestly it's fucking cute. (i'd lowkey love to see what the script says or know what joey was directed to do during this scene, or even if it's purely an acting choice from joey)

Ted Spankoffski is not just doomed by the narrative, he is doomed by the narrative in such a way that makes him doomed in every narrative. Twice even.

Ted Spankoffski from Hatchetfield / The Hatchetverse is doomed by the narrative and trying to escape.

Obsessed with the format of live theater being used for horror. There's an audience right there, but they won't help you. In fact, they've paid to watch you suffer. And all of the awful things that are happening, have happened, and will keep happening. Again and again and again.

i think part of why npmd works so well is bc the nerdy prudes are all kinda real af??? like... i dressed just like pete in highschool and have pictures to prove it. for better or for worse, watching richie in certain scenes was like fondly cringing at my past self. ruth's reflexive "don't bully me!" and their collective tendency to assume the worst whenever the popular kids talk to them (and the realisation that not all of them are bad, actually, some of them - like steph - are really cool)... god. it's so real. painfully so, at times

The Run Away With Me music video is so funny to me bc the first time I watched it I immediately was like “whoever directed this just made it for Curt and Kim” and then I looked at who directed it and
Tumblr media
of course it was directed by Curt. Curt Mega just made a music video of him being in love with his with wife for three minutes and that’s so real of him
