i watched the entire hatchetfield series for the first time a few weeks ago and i really enjoyed it, so i decided to do some character designs from it

nerdy prudes must die

the lords in black (+a concept for plushie webby)

I was talking to a friend about jeff blim's freaky smiles and I said he'd make a good male human nibbly actor

Edit: watch my profile for a drawing of jeff playing a human nibbly

The Lords in Black in their human forms (plus Webby because I love her)

Black Altars of Hatchetfield

I've been thinking about the altars and their relationship with the lords. Since there are five altars, maybe the Waylons set it up to have one for each Lord. Maybe that's why when the nerds invoked the names, it was Wiggly doing the talking.

The Starlight Theatre

Pokotho is probably the easiest to link to this black altar. He sent his meteor there, it's where his big finale went down, it's all about performing.

CCRP

While this could be viewed as the T'noy Karaxis altar, due to everything that happened in Time Bastard, I think this altar belongs to Bliklotep. It started life as the Hatchetfield Gazette which seems like it would be right up his street, watching everything that's going on, hearing about all the secrets of Hatchetfield. And while, maybe, he relinquished the altar after it was taken over by CCRP, no one knows exactly what CCRP does. But we do know, they produce clones and androids which looks like residents of the town. This would certainly keep things interesting for Blinky? And part of the name of CCRP is Research. Much like the Gazette, this implies they have some focus on information gathering through various means. And much like a scientist, Blinky likes to observe how things play out.

The Waylon Place

I think this one is for Nibblenephim. He is the only one of the lords that the starry children are shown worshiping. And what's his whole deal? Consumption, hunger, all wrapped up in a body of dead parts. The Waylons were certainly happy to consume Hatchetfield into their web, they hungered for power and they put a spell on the house to make dead become alive again. Not just dead either. We see from Max dead body parts reform, just like the dead pigs Nibbly puppets.

The Lakeside Mall

This could be assigned to Wiggly given the events of Black Friday take place there but this is another place that started life in a different form. The Old Mill. Wiggly is about wrath. The mill doesn't seem like it would be that tempting for him. But you know who might have been drawn in? Tinky. A mill symbolises an endless cycle, no matter what kind of mill it but in this interpretation say instead of a windmill it's powered by water (since it's apparently by the lake). Water churning, always churning. You know what else there is about mills? The fact that they're probably quite dangerous to work at if not careful. A small mistake, suddenly a life is destroyed. Kinda like what a little yellow box does. Maybe I'm talking gibberish but I think the mill's symbolism works better for Tinky. And chances are he got distracted by Spankoffskis and just let Wiggly have the mall for his whole thing.

🐙: can I use the mall? I want to play

🐐: whatever. I got Teddys to torture

The School

Finally we come to Hatchetfield High. I think this works as a seat of power for Wiggly. He's the one in charge when he's summoned which might be because people consider him the eldest but think about all the different emotions teenagers go through. Think about Max and his anger as he hunts nerds, even before he dies and becomes the embodiment of revenge. Maybe he's not entirely to blame. He can see the audience, he can control elements of the stage. Maybe Max has a touch of the gift and it means that Wiggly's influence is just that much stronger on him. Kyle even says about one negative influence having a profound impact. Wiggly is helping provide that influence.

Nibbly doodle with Skye (y’all i promise they are supposed to have cloths I just haven’t designed them yettt)

i’m really interested in the etymologies of the names of the LiB but i haven’t been able to find out much about them 🥲

here’s what i can work out (feel free to correct me or help me out in the comments/reblogs if there’s something i’m wrong about/ am missing):

-Bliklotep sounds like it’s inspired from Ancient Egyptian naming conventions, with the ‘-otep’ suffix being similar to the ‘-hotep’ suffix commonly used in the names of pharos

-T’noy Karaxis sounds like it might have some greek influence? i ran ‘tnoy karaxis’ through google translate and it was detected as greek, with ‘karaxis’ apparently meaning ‘engraving’ but it detected ‘tnoy’ as russian but didn’t translate it (EDIT: @miserablesquama in the reblogs verified that as usual, google translate cannot be trusted. neither ‘tnoy’ or ‘t’noy’ are russian at all so it’s more likely of greek origin) -_-

-Pokotho sounds kind of latin-esque, with the name ‘otho’ apparently being roman in origin, although another source said it is of germanic origin so idk…? i ran ‘pokotho’ through google translate as well and got ‘pocket’ in southern sotho, but ‘poko’ returned ‘not yet’ in haitian creole. if i had to bet on any, i’d say his name can probably be assigned to either western europe with the latin influences, or south africa with southern sotho having the closest translation

-Nibblenephim is probably quite obviously influenced by the naming conventions of the ‘biblically accurate’ angels (cherubim, seraphim, ophanim etc) probably grounding his name’s inspirations in the middle east

-I have no clue what is going on with Wiggog Y’Rath tbh help lol EDIT: @gavotte-paradisio and @fangirlynjunk (thank u sm) both pointed out in the reblogs that it is likely a reference to the naming conventions common for hp lovecraft’s eldrich horrors which wiggly is a clear reference to

if anyone sees this and knows stuff about this i don’t please help me fill in the gaps.

EDIT: quick disclaimer, i’m taking the google translate results with a hefty grain of salt obviously and you should too
