I MUST CONTINUE TO SHARE THE WEALTH 

loser trio headcanons 

—PART TWO—

RICHIE LIPSCHITZ

CATTY. this man was so judgmental and snarky!!!! hater supreme!!! 

absolutely annihilating the homies was his love language 

was vegan for all of high school (hated thinking about putting animals in pain). 

impulse dyed his hair blue for the first time sophomore year at 2am on a thursday. 

he also cut his own hair!! especially when he was bored. cut ruth’s as well from time to time

owned a (very old) nokia phone until he was sixteen (he got an iPhone for his birthday) 

got into photography because of a rabbit hole of cosplaytok. he wanted to learn how to do what the greats do

has 6 fan accounts on tiktok

watched glee with ruth religiously on bus rides to/from school. they met in the eighth grade and live in the same district (8 minutes away from each other). 

LOVES the death note musical

kept snacks stocked for pete at all times because of his blood sugar.

was always the first person to be in the nurse’s office with pete following dizzy spells 

huge karaoke guy. his go-to song was the pokemon theme (followed by ariana grande’s “problem”) 

owned cat headphones FOR SURE. 

also owned a cat named jiji (kiki’s delivery service reference). jiji died his freshman year of high school

would have gone into film or animation in college. OR!!! cosmetology school. he loved hair and nails and makeup and yapping. ideal salon employee. 

pete got him his first ever sketchbook for christmas when they were in eighth grade. richie loved to draw his friends - pete had very unique physicality and ruth amazing expressions. 

rubs his head against people like a cat (freak. (affectionate)) 

guilty pleasure movie was the lindsay lohan parent trap

taught pete and ruth how to play poker of new year’s eve 2018. they made it a tradition to play every year after. 

hosts the trio most often of the group. they have their most memorable sleepovers in his room

dominates jackbox games. in an almost terrifying way. you seriously cannot win quiplash if richie’s playing

his favorite band is good kid (no mom i’m not projecting. i just think of him whenever they come up on shuffle.)

If you guys liked the whole "Stephs flannel matches Peter's suspenders and bow tie" thing then this costuming detail is in tgwdlm gonna fuck you up.

When we get our first scene with Paul and Emma, the two are dressed in their respective main outfits. These are the ones people tend to associate with them.

But throughout the show, as they get closer and bond, their outfits become more and more similar. Pretty soon Emma's lost the apron

Then at the professor's house, Paul loses the jacket

and by the time McNamara is infected, Paul has his sleeves rolled up and Emma's bow tie has come undone.

At this point, the two are at their most aesthetically similar, and also the closest they've been the entire show. This is moments before the helicopter crash and their failed kiss. They remain this way for a good chunk of time...until Paul comes back

It's like some fast-paced foreshadowing. Emma remains in her changed state, the same as her character, but Paul is back to square one. He's wearing the same outfit he was when they met, and they no longer align. She doesn't know who he is anymore.

I don't know if this was intentional (and if it was, no one explained it to Jon) but it plays out so damn well.

In love with how the universal constant within the Hatchetfield saga is Paul just straight up not having a good time.

HATCHETFEILD TRIO

Woah man NPMD made me actually lose it with hyperfixation so here’s the musical trio raghhh!!!!!

I was watching nightmare time for the first time while drawing these and I had to pause for a day to process jane’s a car because what the fuck guys

[fangirls-just-want-to-have-fun]

Starkid really is insane cause like what in the fuck do you mean these are all the same people

[cursedcrazy-starkid]

we just murdered a football star right before the big game😟

I love cosplay that’s all

[khruschevshoe]

Jon Matteson does not get enough credit for his physical acting skills. In the "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" number when he "levitates" and then crashes to the ground? And in "Let It Out"? He fucking SELLS the emotional impact of those scenes and I'm tired of pretending that he is not one of the best things to happen to modern Starkid. Mariah and Angela definitely deserve their due, but my man is KILLING IT OUT HERE

-Signed, a disgruntled fan who still holds that "Let It Out" was the best scene in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals

You know what really makes me sad about Richie Lipschitz's death?? The really tragic thing?? He would have loved the lords in black, he would have been immediatly obsessed with those little anime looking motherfuckers, every single one of them. so sorry you missed it king :'(

[honeyspawn]

He gets typecast as blue.

[ender-of-the-sender]

It just occurred to me that Jon is technically on all of the Hatchetfield musical posters

[mind-lost-in-the-stars]

shout out to Jon matteson’s characters for being the poster child (at least the main character on the album cover) for each musical, gotta be one of my favorite things in the trilogy
