"Di'n't mean to trip.." She says, following her father to her room. She begins to pull at the hairties holding her two braids together, wanting them out.

(OOC: seeing as our other rps ended up dying [they had a good run and were fun], I have a new idea :3] (OOC: So it's a past rp, but it can basically be meant to be as a memory/flashback or smth-- idk it's like 2am and had to write this) (OOC: Alice is like 5 in this memory/whatever)

Splish-splash, splish-splash. Alice walks through the puddles that formed on the sidewalk after the rain. An excited smile is plastered on her face, from each time the water splashes as she stomps her rainboots into the puddles. Splash! Her little twin braids bounce as she jumps. The water hits her small legs, but she couldn’t care less. She was happy. She spots a large puddle up ahead, and lets out a little gasp. She lets go of her father’s hand and begins running towards it enthusiastically.

It’s been a very rainy week, something Bill’s welcomed when it wasn’t actively pouring. It’s one of those rare moments where it wasn’t raining, that he could take his daughter Alice outside to play in the weather. Over one of his arms is a raincoat for her, just in-case it did decide to rain again. He’s glad Alice is enjoying the walk, even if her jumping in small puddles slowly began to soak into his socks through his shoes.

His attention’s flicking between Alice and the general surroundings, before it’s solely back on her when he feels her hand let go.

His gaze had followed briefly, to the nearby big puddle. Oh dear. How disastrous could that be? “Be careful!” Bill called.

the Hatchetfield plotline has me in a CHOKEHOLD

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

watcher world will ALWAYS be one of the best nightmare time episodes to me because im in awe at how in its relatively short (37 ish minutes [apologies it’s more like 50 minutes]) run time it juggles multiple themes, character traits, and conflicts

the constant repetition of Alice being a “little girl” when she wants to be treated like an adult. The ticket taker’s comment on “daddy’s little girl…she’ll always be your little girl,” Bill’s emphasis on “daddy-daughter” time. Bill asking Alice to “grow up” and Alice saying he won’t let her. The Blinky mascot saying creepy things to her (a sadly common impetus for girls/women for “growing up”). The carnival barker at the strong man game coaching Bill’s treatment of Alice as if Alice was a child (“needs an ass whooping”) instead of an adult. Additionally, the barker kissing Bill on the cheek could be the infantilization of Alice flipped onto Bill to show just how uncomfortable it is [side note, the emphasis on ‘possession’ (Alice belongs to Bill, his little girl) could be a reference to Bill’s disappointment with the custody situation after the divorce].

Bill’s dismissiveness of Alice’s aspirations. Despite constantly reiterating she has “time to think about it,” he inadvertently shrugs off her aspiration to be a playwright twice until he is forced to confront it on the tear jerker. It shows that though Bill complains Alice does not let him in to her life, she is attempting that connection but he is fumbling it.

Privacy. Alice’s instagram initially being private before allowing Bill in. Alice saying she doesn’t want Bill to know about her life. Possibly Deb and Ziggy’s past relationship/current relations when Alice can’t be there. The people in line to the tear jerker (“what she can’t see won’t hurt her”). Obviously the security cameras and all-knowing abilities of Blinky. But also Snigglet sharing her deepest aspiration, before being ultimately (though indirectly) punished for it [side note, perhaps the sniggles performance was a parallel to Alice’s fear of opening up to her father?].

Attribution of blame. It’s the phone. It’s Alice. It’s Bill. It’s your mother. The reality is a combo of all of these. If Bill had been more receptive to Alice, if Alice was more open about her fear of roller coasters, perhaps he wouldn’t have encouraged her to go on the tear jerker. [side note, Alice’s play was a parallel to her story in TGWDLM, right? I mean the vampire can be interpreted as Deb, a not so great influence on her. Both Deb and Alice are gay, and they die in the end of TGWDLM. That’s the ending the judges—Pokey, the Lords in Black—want. But that’s the ending that the audience does not want. The audience wants them to live. TGWDLM is scary. It is funny. Just rambling at this point but anyway I think watcher world is full of so much symbolism!!]

Made Hatchetverse fake twt stuff I forgot to post here so here’s that

[blueskiesandstarrynights]

so obsessed with the fact that everyone looked at Paul and immediately decided he's uncle shaped. Tim? That's his nephew. Alice? He's also got a niece. Richie? You guessed it, Paul's got another nephew.

I find it so funny that Bill complains to Paul about Deb, saying that Alice shouldn’t date her because she’s a stoner, because Paul’s girlfriend is also a stoner
