[isopodtusks]

Still very much running off the starkid innit high but OH MY FUCKING GOD was it an experience. The audience singing Richie’s part of Nerdy Prudes Must Die was definitely my favourite bit but literally everything about it was so amazing. Happy birthday Jeff Blim!!

Mutual of mine prepare yourself for all of my carefully crafted headcanons because. they're special to me. and now i get to share them w u 😍😍

Obviously the two big ones are I'm a strong Paul is Richie's Uncle believer and Ted's birthday is Feb 14. They're the two big ones that a lot of people already acknowledge. Now for the ones that I hold close and personal to my heart.

Max Jagerman's half british. His mother hails from a small seaside town in Devon but moved to the US for study. The British accent comes out when he gets incredibly passionate. I also firmly believe his favourite song of all time is Barbie Girl by AQUA. Your honour, I'm taking no questions. I also believe Henry Hidgens is an uncle type character to him, and that Ethan Green is one of his truest friends.

Pete Spankoffski's full name is Peter Murphy Spankoffski because of Murphy's Law.

Ruth is convinced anyone who says their favourite dinosaur is a T-Rex is a liar. (Hers is a triceratops)

Richie's favourite dinosaur is a T-Rex

Brad Callahan is a major film bro, but built up a special friendship with Stephanie Lauter through their joint love of film

Steph Lauter has emetophobia and Max has a phobia of blood

Max Jagerman and Paul Matthews have the same birthday and it pisses Max off every single year because he sees how happy some lame ass man is compared to himself. (February 21st if u were curious. I chose Feb 21 for Paul back in 2019. I chose Max's bday bcs it's the day the NPMD digital ticket dropped 💀)

I like to make random characters played by the same actor related. E.g Ziggs and Kale, Gabe and Skud.

I'm convinced that Charles Coven has The Gift, and that he was a part of The Rollerama Tournaments long before they were called that.

I've also accidentally convinced myself that Charles Coven adopted Sophia when she was a newborn just because he could, then reinvented The Rollerama to profit off of her wins

And just for funsies, I'm also convinced AJ Griffin forcefully adopted Morgan Reese and Morgan is stupidly unaware about how son-like the captain sees him as

bring it on babe

I LOVE THESE

I MAY NOT BE BRITISH BUT AS A EUROPEAN I AGREE, MAX IS OURS

Peter Murphy sounds so very him

YOU ARE SO RIGHT RUTH IS A DINOSAUR PERSON

Paul and Max sharing a birthday is something I didn't know I needed but I'm adopting this

ohhh when I tell you I made a Jeff Blim family tree to see if I could make all of them related

CHARLES AND SOPHIA???? I love that. bc he literally said that her father broke at *some monetary price I don't remember*, that might have had something to do with it

FORCEFUL ADOPTION HFFJDNF i love when characters are supidly unaware

Happy birthday, Jeff Blim!

Thank you for this comment with slightly rude undertones because it gives me a reason to talk about my Ethan theory.

The theory is that the first iteration of the character was supposed to be the Ted Spankoffski of Black Friday. He's quippy and sarcastic and not really a main character but not really a side character either. He plays the same role.

The only issue is, when Black Friday came out, the fandom did not receive the character in the way people were expecting. Fans really leaned into that 'father figure' sort of role, when in reality that is a very small part of Ethan's original character.

So when the time came for Yellow Jacket, along with an updated actor, Ethan got an updated script, to line up with the way the fans viewed the character.

So that's the theory but the fun thing is you can compare the dialogue and see the difference pretty easily. Like, Robert's Ethan says things like:

"I gotta warn you, she's being a little snot today."

"Oh great. Now we've gotta talk to the imaginary spider from outer space."

"Can you translate? I don't speak crazy."

I think the absolute height of him being anything like a father figure to Hannah is him giving her the hat ("I'd make a great dad, I'm just saying." )

Joey's Ethan doesn't need to say he'd 'make a great dad.' He demonstrates it in his actions, leaning a lot more into the whole protector role.

"Hannah. Of course we have money for your birthday."

"Because, you could get hurt. And if that's even a possibility, it ain't happening."

"I love Hannah like she was my own kid. No amount of money could convince me to let this fight happen."

And then, of course, you can't forget the classic "Just call me stupid. Tell me i'm irresponsible, because I am irresponsible. I just...I just wanted to make you both happy."

(And no, I'm not leaving out some of Robert's more comforting dialogue on purpose. It's actually just like that.)

Not to mention that there's a logical reason he's closer with Hannah in Yellow Jacket. Yellow Jacket Ethan is 21, while Black Friday Ethan is only 19. People can grow and change in the span of two years, especially when the thing growing and changing is your relationship with your girlfriend's sister. Of course they're closer, they've been living together for longer.

So take the obvious differences in the writing, and add in the fact that the role was given to a different actor, (think Nick Lang as Hidgens versus Jeff Blim; completely different vibes) and you might start to see how there are a few different versions of Ethan as a character.

if Yellow Jacket Ethan saw the way Black Friday Ethan was talking about Hannah, he'd knock his teeth out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEFF BLIM!!!!

It’s Jeff’s birthday!! So I thought I’d share this wonderful gem with you...

This is from after I saw Twisted, and I wanted to get a picture with Nick Gage because he’s so funny and nice... and Jeff decided to make the picture better by just.... being Jeff.

After seeing how the picture turned out, we all laughed our asses off, and Jeff told me to tweet him the picture. So I did. I don’t think he ever saw it though.

Warning: This picture was taken with a potato, probably?? I know. I can’t do anything about it.

Okay, here it is. The picture no one asked for but I’m giving it to you anyway.

Jeff Blim appreciation time

I remember so clearly the first time I saw Jeff act in Starkid. I had seen AVPM/AVPS and I was watching HMB for the first time, trying to figure out who everyone had been in the Harry Potter shows. And then this fucker walks in

And I was like “this guy was DEFINITELY not in the Potter shows. I would have remembered him. His stage presence is ridiculously awesome.”

Happy birthday Jeff! Thanks for amazing me (and creeping me out a lil) for year and years.
