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

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.

sorry but hatchetfield having a secret boxing ring for gifted kids in the old abandoned roller rink was not on my bingo card for nightmare time season 2

[tinky-appreciation]

Hey guys

What's up Tinky lovers and Nibbly haters

How we feeling after Honey Queen....

[guide-for-the-untrained-eye]

OK WHO LET THE SONG YELLOW JACKET GO SO HARD OK ANGELA !

[ultraravencookie]

BARRY SWIFT?!?!?!

[nonbino-chaos-fox]

she moves back to clivesdale and her husband comes with her because he loves her and while she does the secret government stuff he becomes a baker and runs a little cafe

For your Clivesdale is scientist town monitoring Hatchetfield theory:

Liz Cunningham is actually an undercover plant investigating the strange things in Hatchetfield and was going to investigate the Honey Festival before she was exposed.

Ooooh. Yes I agree with this one.

Also her husband hss no idea!!

Hc that Hidgens gets so pissed about Linda being dead therefore not able to fund working boys that he just straight up finds and kills Nibbly

[nonbino-chaos-fox]

One of my friends (@blueskiesandstarrynights) recently encouraged me to make a version of this post but with the kids from Yellow Jacket. So here it is.

MacNamara: I'm not a father, I don't even have any children!

Sophia: 'Sup dad.

MacNamara: Oh hi

Lex: Hey is it okay if me and Hannah see the new star wars tonight?

MacNamara: Yeah, just be home by ten

Daniel: Ouch, I got a paper cut

MacNamara, rummaging through drawers: Do you want a normal bandaid or colourful one?

MacNamara: ...

MacNamara: Okay listen-

[pokotho]

i didn't think i'd love killer track as much as i did, though i kinda wish kim and curt filmed that scene in the paddle boats together

[nonbino-chaos-fox]

skud and ziggs are siblings

RB with a Hatchetfield headcanon you have with little to no evidence

[ultraravencookie]

Holy heck it’s Riff Raff

[awigglycultist]

When Linda said "I'd say go to hell but you're already moving there!" I'd like to think she literally meant Hell, Michigan

[nonbino-chaos-fox]

I'm trying to write my Skud one-shot, but my brain smacked me over the head with the need for Hatchetmen!Emma x gifted!Paul.

Help.

Nighthawks and timberwolves are mentioned quite a bit in hatchetfield stories. Off the top of my head: They're the school mascots, they're mentioned in Honey Queen, Jonathan is hunting nighthawks durning THAM (also Hidgens refers to them as "wily birds" possible foreshadowing to...), nighthawks are also going to be destroying the Perky's Buds farm in Perky's Buds

I really think we need to mention this part of the Honey Queen script:

A nighthawk and a Timberwolf. Where do we hear both of those animals referenced?

In Hatchetfield High and Syacamore. Why would they include that little detail?? Like it genuinely must mean something, right?

Feel free to discuss
