Drawing day ??

Thought I might as well start doodling again! Top one is a little emblem for Killer Track, bottom is one for Black Friday! Thought they turned out well! (Though the little wigglys look a little like the Lorax)

Okay so I just learned that sometimes worker bees will like raise a new queen bee to replace the current one bc they're unhappy with the current queen (which sounds ridiculous maybe but it's not bc of like unfair conditions it's bc of like the queen not having a good egg laying pattern) and queen bees naturally have to instinct to kill other queens in their hive so like the new one they make will go kill the current one or the current one will kill the one being raised is she finds it. Anyways I find this interesting and I think knowing that queen bees have an instinct to kill each other it just makes Honey Queen even more fitting

hi!! i don't remember if i've already asked this question (apologies if i did) but i was wondering if you could give a spoiler-free list of the other hatchetfield media i'll need to consume in order to enjoy npmd? i kind of fell off hatchetfield after nmt s1 and as a result haven't seen any of the nightmare time season 2 stories or other hatchetfield stuff (idk if hey melissa is included in nmts2 or its own thing so that's what i mean by general other hatchetfield stuff) and it didn't really interest me BUT seeing posts about npmd makes me really excited to see that show and since it won't be out for a bit i thought getting a list of hatchetfield stuff to catch up on now would be helpful. thank you and have a nice day!!!

heya!

okay so personally I'm of the opinion that if you haven't consumed ALL the official hatchetfield content, your experience watching NPMD will be incomplete. I don't really recommend skipping anything, because each story gives you Something that adds to the experience or understanding of what happens. so my completely honest list is just all of NMT2

(note: Hey Melissa isn't NMT2, and isn't technically official because it was read as part of the NPMD livestream, so it's exempt from my above statement. you won't miss anything at all in NPMD if you skip that one. that's up to you though!)

BUT since you asked I've done my best to consider what I think is the bare minimum Absolutely Required viewing from NMT2 for the best experience without watching all of it. imo you should at the very least watch:

Perky's Buds

Daddy

if you want to get an early impression of Steph, Pete, and Grace, Abstinence Camp is good for that, too, but it's really not essential at all. NPMD does a solid job of introducing them as if it's the first time they've appeared. you will however miss out on a joke or two without AC context, one of which made me SCREAM when I saw it but it's not like. a mega important lore thing. this is what I mean when I say you'll have an incomplete experience, yknow, there's a lot of little things that'll make it better if you've seen everything

I also want to softly recommend Honey Queen, because I think it's the best Nightmare Time story of both seasons and you definitely will get something out of it that'll add to NPMD, but I also wouldn't call it ESSENTIAL the way I would Perky's Buds and Daddy

that's just my opinion though! if you're open to it I still highly recommend giving all of NMT2 a watch, but in a pinch you really only NEED those two stories

Seniors and sophomores aren't a big difference. Now I don't say this bc it's only 2/3 years difference, 3 years can big a difference when you're younger, and I think seniors dating freshman is weird. Like 17/18 Vs 14/15 are pretty different ages.

So anyway I decided to figure out everyone's ages in comparison to each other.

The timeline: tgwdlm takes place in fall 2018, black friday takes place on November 23rd 2018, nmts1 takes place in 2019, nmts2 takes place in summer 2020, and npmd takes place in fall 2020.

Tgwdlm: Alice is both said to be 17 and 18, she's a senior in high school. "now I get that Alice is 18, she's a senior" and "I'm fucking 17, at least I was before you left me" I think "at least I was before you left me" could imply that she was 17 when her parents got divorced, so I think her being 18 makes more sense, but it could be either. Danny and Sof could be any age in high school. I'll get to Deb.

Black Friday: Nick has said somewhere that Lex would be 18 in BF and that Ethan would be 19 (I can't actually remember if it's spefically said 19 or if it was said just that he's a little older. Or if it's actually spefically said that Lex is 18 either or just that she would be a senior in high school if not for being dropout, but 18 is a fair assumption for a senior). Also Hannah is 13.

Nmt1: Deb is said to be going to art school and at this point Alice has graduated school, since in tgwdlm Bill says "why don't you date someone at your own school?" we can assume Deb was also high schooler then, so she's the same age as Alice. So they're both 18 or 19 during Watcher World. Hannah is 14.

Nmt2: Steph calls herself and Pete "adults" so assuming Steph for sure knows Pete's age or isn't lying they're both 18. Grace is probably about the same age. Gabe's also probably the same age as Grace. Mary and Noah spefically say they're "only 18". Ziggs is gonna be about the same age as Alice & Deb, I'd say 20, Alice and Deb are also 20 at the point. Lex and Ethan would 20/21 at this point. Hannah is ofc 15 and a freshman in high school. Daniel is "no older than Hannah" and powers peak at 15 so he's probably 15, maybe 14. Sofia is said to be "maybe a year or two Hannah's senior" so she's 16 or 17, I'd say it's more likely she's 16.

Npmd: Grace, Steph, Pete, Max, Richie, Ruth, Jason, Kyle, Brenda and Stacy are all seniors so they're all 17 or 18, maybe 19. Going off abstinence camp I'd say Steph and Pete are both 18 but Steph also says "wake me up when you turn 18" this is obviously in contradiction to AC. They just meet recently in both scenarios so Steph could be just taking guess in both. The line If I Loved You could also just mean "you're not mature" rather than Pete actually isn't 18. So Pete could be 17 or 18 I'm not really sure. I don't think anyone else's ages are specifically stated? Brooke, Trevor, Ruldoph, Caitlyn and the other theatre kids could be any high school age.

So uh. Yeah. There you go. Now simply add or subtract a years if you need to figure out a character's age in a different year (like Steph would be 16 during tgwdlm & bf). Feel free to use this to figure out wether you think different ships are ok or now depending on their ages.

any ships between the guy/black friday teens and the npmd teens make me so uncomfortable for no reason whatsoever. genuinely idk why i think its the fact that the bf/guy teens would be seniors when the npmd cast were sophomores which is just so icky to me.... like. i think id be alright with them if they were all a few years older with the same age gap (once the npmd cast is a few years out of high school) but currently i get really grossed out thinking about them. even more confusingly ive got exactly one exception to this which is max/ziggy and i cannot for the life of me figure out why it doesnt make me uncomfortable. it just feels different for some reason

Boy Toy walked so Queen Bee could run

Kinda wondering why twice in episode two we were told "Things in the Witchwoods grow fast, and big, and different."

Kinda feeling like we are going to learn more and more soon about the Witchwoods and the strange creatures inside them.

Jae Hughes has tumblr confirmed (unless the screenshot on their story is from somebody else) so hello if you see thisss!!

You seem really cool and I'm excited to see you perform in nightmare time!!!!

[awigglycultist]

Nick has said that bc in nmts2 Cineplex Teen was at the honey festival and Pete was at camp and literally says that he's gonna miss the festival they can't be the same person

literally Nick even said "probably not" but npmd has me wondering

I think Paul will appear in Perky's Buds. But either for a few lines or he'll only be mentioned. As much as I love Paulkins, it's important for Emma to be her own character independent of Paul.

Hey guys

What's up Tinky lovers and Nibbly haters

How we feeling after Honey Queen....

Oh my god, I love Dreamwastaken

These are all the words (both five-letter & four-letter) I could find for the ??ack word that we're searching for.

Right now the ones I think could work are:

- Hack

- Jack

- Sack

- Black

- Shack

- Track

- Clack

- Quack (my personal favourite)

I feel like Hack Daddy could be another name for the LumberAxe. Sack gives me vibes of like Jason in the second (and a bit of the third) Friday the 13th movies when he still had the sack on instead of the hockey mask. Shack also gives me similar vibes.

But the fact that these all revolve around the LumberAxe/Friday the 13th style vibes, but I feel like his story might be with the green clues.

Now for the ones that I feel like could work somewhat better:

I feel like the ones like Jack & Mack give me vibes that this might be someone's name.

Paired with the fact that the clue's we've gotten so far are, a jukebox, a '50s style dinner, & a sewer/portal, I feel like this might be a story with some time travel elements.

So maybe a character travels back in time to the '50s. And while they are there I feel like there might be a killer plot, and possibly a character named Mack Daddy.

But all of these are just loose ideas.

GUYS WHATTTT

Oh the irony of what was yet to come

Guys if nightmare time is what happens in Hannas mind then the line from the theme song “daddy’s gonna get you” is about Hannah’s dad…right?! Am I onto something?!
