jon matteson characters family reunion. richie is ignoring everyone and blasting japanese nightcore on his airpods. roman is here and acting disgusted at the food while linda boasts about her kids (said kids are currently causing mayhem that will probably end in tears). paul has brought emma with him and is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. boy jerry is trying to give him a pep talk on how to propose so he can "do the do" with emma (bj recommends a walk in the woods). the hatchetman bursts in at one point. daniel lost track of time and decided it wasn't worth showing up. gary is happy to be a part of something like he was with the wiggly cult but nobody likes him. wiggly watches for a while then shows up in human form to cause more mayhem, nobody knows who he is, why he looks like them or why he speaks like a toddler but he's freaky and may or may not be on the verge of murder. fun times.

We've never seen Linda's mother so I am led to believe she was an older Honey Queen and her daughter met the exact same fate as her at the hands of the same man.

[marvelmaniac715]

Linda Monroe doesn’t want to become her father but both father and daughter end up running a cult devoted to a dark god, flanked by adoring cultists, disguising it as something it isn’t so it’s more palatable - a ‘Honey Festival’/‘Honey Queen Pageant’ and a ‘fun new religion’ respectively, and they both lose their romantic partners in the name of their god (presumably) - no mention of Linda’s mother (one of the first Honey Queens perhaps) and Linda dies apart from Gerald, unable to see her boys for one last time.

[rockrosethistle]

I understand that Linda Monroe is a bad person. I understand that the way she treats people is unacceptable.

But I also understand that she just wanted Roman to be proud of her. For once in her life, she wanted her father to see her as something other than a barn animal; a pig. Because that's all she was to him. A little piggy. She wanted his approval. She wanted to impress him. And at every chance, he took that, and turned it into an opportunity to degrade her. Make fun of her for trying. Disregard what she has to say.

At the end of Honey Queen, Linda sees that Roman is proud of her for the first time in her life, and she starts crying. She can't help it. It's all she's worked for. She is finally more than a pig to him--she's a queen. The sweetest woman in town. The way all fathers should view their daughters. For a single, happy moment, she gets what she's always dreamed of.

Only for him to betray her. To reveal that she will meet a terrible fate, a vessel for a dark lord. He is not happy for her, he's happy to give her up for something he's decided is better. More worthy. Linda is murdered by the man who should have protected her from the beginning.

And that's the tragedy of Honey Queen. Let the starving woman be picked apart, used for all she is worth, and finally discarded while her father watches and smiles.

[wtfwhy]

I was thinking how everyone always does, "Paul is Richie's Uncle" why doesn't anybody ever do "Emma is Ruth's aunt" but then milliseconds later I remember that, unlike Paul, Emma actually has an established family and that would imply that either she had another sibling or Tom and Jane had another child (ie Ruth) so now I want to present 3 AUs, (if anyone's already done these I just haven't seen it sorry):

1) Ruth is Tim's older sister (i dont think this would work timeline wise for Tom/Jane's age but idgaf, maybe it was a teen pregnancy, which could add a layer or drama for Jane's while 'perfect sister' thing)

2) Emma and Jane had another sibling who was never mentioned because...insert drama here (if we want a preexisting character, I like the idea of Linda*. Maybe shes their half sibling that they dont talk to because of how elitist Linda and her father are (so like maybe her father had an affair with Emma/Jane's mom but wanted it to be a secret for reputation purposes) but then this would also mean Ruth is Linda's daughter and all of the implications of that can be explored)

3) Ruth can be like Emma's cousin or something, idk

(*either I saw a fic with this or fever dreamed it i dont remember, but I like the au of it actually being Paul and Linda being estranged half siblings. We essentially know nothing about Paul's family so maybe he never mentions them because he's not on speaking terms with them because his dad (in this case Linda's dad) considers him a bastard child or something. But what I really like about his au is the idea of Linda and Paul being half siblings and how they would interact with each other. Maybe Linda shuns him like her father or maybe they actually get along and she has a soft spot for him idk. This could also apply with Linda being Emma/Jane's sister) (idk how this post became about Linda Monroe but ok)

[incorrecthatchetfield]

Linda: Gerald, am I ugly?

Gerald: Nonsense. I'm looking at you right now. You're the most beautiful woman in the world.

Linda: Father, am I ugly?

Roman Murray: Very much.

Rewatching Nightmare Time and listing things that aren't appreciated enough (4)

Honey Queen

Roman being a great villain

"You don't need him to cheat for you, you can cheat for yourself!" I love Gerald

Malone, seriously, how is this guy not more popular, a slovenly private detective played by Joey with a joisey accent? That's amazing!

The FOX news joke

Homeless Ted as "Mr. Broadly"

Honestly, all the songs.

Nick!Hidgens (Nick-dgens?)

Whatever the voice is Corey did for that audience member

Linda being the only person who can actually keep Hidgens in check.

"I'll kick his ass, you kick hers, love you" Have I mentioned that I love Gerald.

The quality of the twist reveal with Nibbly, seriously.

[erikiara80]

Yes!

Looking at Willel, Jopper, Max and Mike. Lucas. Dustin. Henry. Oh, and Jonathan and Nancy! Everyone, lol. I'm emotional. Is that Linda Hamilton? Cool! Can't wait to see her character.

Let's go! @chirpsythismorning

[honeyspawn]

Listen, as cute and funny the whole "Jon Matteson's characters are related thing" is, can we please leave Roman out of the family tree? Linda and Gary being related is so cursed.

[acutemushroom]

My " 'Jon's characters are related' tree" corrected

So....upon first posting it, I've realized that I've forgotten Roman and Wiggly. But that's not all, I can do better. Yesterday, I've realized that I also forgot Daniel/Stopwatch... So, here is a corrected version of the family tree. Though, I still deliberately did not include Wiggly and cie. for my sanity's sake. I could have added the Emma and her family to the tree, but since her and Paul don't have children together, let alone children played by Jon, I chose otherwise.

So... here is some explanation on how I connected the Murray and Monroe families the the Matthews one :

Again, Roman doesn't share the same surname. And Roman being the leader of Nibbly's cult, I wouldn't be surprised (and HC) that he is much older than he looks like. Probably around Sheila's age actually... So, it's through his sister that he is connected to Paul ! But again, the ages wouldn't have fitted that well if he was his great-uncle. So, I went down a generation below. Roman's niece is actually the Matthews' matriarch, Paul's grandmother.

Which makes Linda Paul's second (degree) cousin, despite them being around the same age. I partially explain that by the fact that, at least in my HC, her mother was something around 30 years younger than Roman (yeah, yikes) .

In the same order of ideas, her children are Paul's father's cousins, his first cousins then, despite them being younger than most of Richie's generation. In fact, I don't think Trent is much older than little Jerri... Talking about them, I know Gerald isn't the biological father of at least half of Linda's children. But because we don't know who their fathers actually are and that Gerald's name most probably is on the birth certificate, I am going to put them as his children. Not that it changes anything for the sake of relating each of Jon's characters.

Stopwatch is Gary's son. No real reason if why not ?

Also, here's some HCs about the dynamics in the family !

The twins know for Daniel's power, but not for the fighting ring. Richie's been so overexcited to learn that, that Daniel feared he would spill the beans. Thankfully, he didn't. Under oath not to. All the family think Daniel has martial art classes, only his father knows the truth about the fights.

Daniel calls Paul and his siblings uncle and aunt. Jerry did try to break him out of the habit, he's their first cousin not their nephew. But it just made it worst. Now, Jerry is suspecting Gary to bribe his son to purposefully call him that just to piss him off.

Girl Jeri knows that Jerry has nephews and a first cousin. But not at first ! When she saw them for the first time, walking pass them on the street, she legit stopped in her track and searched for a solid minute why they looked so similar to Jerry. He had to clarify why later.

All the men are made from the same mold in the family ! No seriously. If Little Jerri had actually been raised by his parents, instead of being left in the woods as a baby, he'd look like his father's exact copy.

When Paul brought Emma to a family reunion for the first time, she did make a joke/comment on the fact they all look like clones. Which was particularly hilarious in the "Forever an always" timeline...

Linda has no idea that she is related to the Matthews.
