Day 21. Teacher

[inbarfink]

[spale-vosver]

my favorite otgw character is mrs langtree's dad. like. he's so fucking scrunkly. he PITCHES A TENT WITH HIS COAT and sleeps outside. i love him

[eruanna1875]

Okay, this started out funny, like the "who would I trust with my hypothetical baby" posts, but then that last paragraph closed it out with some genuinely powerful words, and WOW.

Who you should fight in Over The Garden Wall:

Wirt: who wins: probably you.

He’s a skinny 14-yo nerd who has trouble not tripping over his own feet, but dumb luck is on his side, so he might take you by surprise. Not really worth the effort, though, if we’re going to be honest. Just threaten to tell his crush that he likes her and he’ll likely jump off of a wall or something to save you the trouble.

Greg: who wins: nobody.

Don’t fight Greg. Why would anyone fight Greg? He’s a precious baby made from sunshine and cotton candy, snips and snails and puppy dog tails all the way though. He’s around five or six, so there’d be no contest physically, but you’d be the one forced to live with yourself afterwards. You monster.

Beatrice: who wins: Beatrice.

Don’t pick a fight with Beatrice. She straight up kills a witch in the show. She will take you out. 

Frog: who wins: ???

On the one hand he’s not exactly a vicious animal. On the other hand, we genuinely have no idea what he’s capable of. We don’t know what’s going on behind those eyes. Don’t trust him. Only fight if you must.

Woodsman: who wins: Woodsman.

He’s not the most confrontational type, but he’s got an ax and nothing to lose. Walk away.

Enoch: who wins: Not you.

Look, I’m not saying he’s a witch, but there’s obviously something going on with him. Plus he’s got an entire town to enforce his edicts. Fighting Enoch seems like a good way to get turned into a turkey, or perhaps to face life imprisonment with hard labor. Don’t disrespect.

Miss Langtree: who wins: the animals.

She takes the time and effort to teach animals how to read and write. You think they’re going to let you fight her? Ever been attacked by a protective opossum? Not good. Save yourself some pain and rabies shots, and don’t fight Miss Langtree.

Jimmy Brown: who wins: you.

The man couldn’t empty a boot full of water if the instructions were written on the sole. No contest. You’ll have to deal with your conscience, though. Do you really want to fight him?

Mr. Langtree: who wins: you, but at what cost?

You’ll feel pretty bad after you’ve taken an old guy out with a solid punch. Go and find yourself an actual jerk.

The Tavernkeeper: who wins: The Tavernkeeper.

She’s very handy with that broom of hers, and she’s not afraid to hit first. You’ll find yourself kicked out of the tavern before you know what’s happening. Just eat the food and enjoy the entertainment.

The Highway Man: who wins: no contest.

It’ll look pretty silly when you put your fist through solid air.

Fred the Horse: who wins: you.

Fred’ll surrender after the first punch. Which is good because he probably outweighs you by at least 700 pounds. Go ahead and fight him. You can brag that you beat a horse. Big hero.

Quincy Endicott: who wins: you.

He wouldn’t know what hit him. Literally. You can knock him out and take his stuff and he’ll have forgotten about it within the hour. Claim that you’re a relative, though, and he’ll just give you free reign. Save some effort and scam him instead.

Adelaide: who wins: you.

Please fight Adelaide.

Lorna: who wins: no one.

Either you’re picking on a young puritan girl or your bones are going to be carefully sorted. Don’t fight Lorna under any circumstances. Just don’t. Absolutely not. There is no possible way for it to end well for anyone.

Fisher Fish: who wins: Fisher Fish.

Your only advantage over a fish that size is that you can breathe air and he can’t. Fisher Fish can breathe air. He’ll probably fry you up with some butter, special spices, and a squeeze of lemon. 

The North Wind: who wins: probably the North Wind.

Sure, Greg beat him. But do you really have the unadulturated, pure cheer that it takes to defeat the old North Wind? Yeah, I didn’t think so. 

The Beast: who wins: you, conditionally.

Don’t play his games. He’ll only win if you let him get under your skin. Remember, he’s all bluster and deceit. Laugh in his face and he can’t do a thing about it. Call him out for what he is and kick him in the lantern. You’re going to fight the Beast: just be sure to win every time.

[i-am-arobazzz]

I just watched Over The Garden Wall and GOD IT WAS AMAZING. I absolutely adore that show and prepare for tons of fan art by now hehe èwé So yeah I made some sketches of the characters

[catgirlfranklin]

starting my yearly otgw costume :)

[dumbfuck-mojave]

Since I rewatched this with my friend yesterday

So like, spoilers for Over the Garden Wall but whatever.

I love how in OTGW, everything has the fucking simplest solutions. Or perhaps not simple, but I think you’ll get the idea.

1. Weird town with sentient pumpkin people? Yeah it’s fine, they’re just a bunch of spooky boys that you helped them dig up. Thank you. 

2. Mad gorilla on the loose? Tackle that bitch. It’s probably your teachers missing boyfriend. 

3. Ghosts haunting your house? Your house is probably just so big it connects with someone else’s house. 

4. Possessed girl about to eat you? Shake that magic bell and tell it to fuck off and leave the girl alone. 

5.Death telling you to give him the lantern or your brother dies? Say that’s stupid, take your brother, go home. Everything’s fine.

[less-lost-than-you-realize]

I like him. He's a good guy, I like him.

Over the Garden Wall AU Alchemy Bros!!!

Hey!!! So this is high key long. I got pretty carried away but like ENJOY!!!

So clearly Varian is Wirt and Hugo is Greg

Hugo was adopted by Ulla and Quirin

Also like this is taking place in the same time as OTGW cause the 80s slap and I’d kill to see 1980s Alchemy Bros

So like Varian and Hugo were having a cute Halloween

Hugo was like “Let’s trick or treat!” but Varian was like, “Nah, I wanna ask this girl out.”

Hugo has a rock pun rock instead of facts

Sara is Vex cause I MAKE THE RULES

So like they go to a freaking cemetery cause Vex would-

Hugo is like spooked like “woAh bro bro, this is most non triumphant-”

And Varian is all “Cool it. I wanna ask her out.”

I’m keeping Jason Thunderburger cause I really can’t think of anyone who can live up to the man of legend

But like the group Vex is with clowns Varian cause they’re all “Oh he needs his big brother to chaperone him lol”

But OOP! The police show up cause like it’s high key concerning when a group of teens are at the cemetery

So like run time but like Varian and Hugo jump the freaking cemetery wall

They land on train tracks

Hugo finds a mouse in the bushes he landed in and tries to make a joke out of everything that happened

Bad idea-

Varian screams about how he feels neglected ever since Hugo came and how Ulla and Quirin are HIS parents not Hugo’s

Hugo: Oh, I’m sorry I’m such an inconvenience….

Hugo: I’ll leave…

Then they hear a train coming and Hugo pushed he and Varian into the water and they just-

Fall

Into the water

Unconscious

NOW HERE’S WHERE THE FUN BEGINS

They enter ‘The Unknown’

And Varian starts panicking and Hugo’s like “hehe I haz mouse”

Hugo does the whole thing of “Idk what to name it?”

So like then they see this woodsman but the woodsman is just Alec thinking he has the soul of his wife in there

So Alec’s all “BEWARE OF DONELLA!”

The Beast is Donella cause she totally would

So then the mill thing happens yada yada.

Then like the meet a talking blue bird, who’s just Belle cause the vibes

And Belle’s all “Hey I can take you guys to Cyrus the Good Man of the Woods”

And Varian and Hugo are like “Seems legit”

Then the pumpkin thing happens yada yada

So they find this school of animals

And Rapunzel is Ms. Langtree cause THE VIBES

Also they both had cruddy fathers, OOOP! Except the OTGW Dad is way better OOOOOP!

Jimmy Brown is Eugene cause it’s cute

Same thing happens yada yada

Okay but the Highwayman is that guard dude that apparently guards everywhere

Random Tavern Dude: Marriage?

Varian: nO-

Hugo: Lol, Varian’s in loooovvveeeeee.

Then like they steal a horse but it’s a talking horse and it’s just Jackie cause V I B E S

So then like they come across this mansion but it’s Hector-

Then like the blue lady is just some random person cause I don’t ship Hector with anyone tbh

ANYWAYS

All that plot happens yada yada

B O N D I N G

Yes, I am going fast to get to the angst

So like they’re on this ferry and like they sneak on to get to Cryus cause Cryus can send them back where they came from

Instead of Frog’s they’re mice

So like they bout to get caught

So they hide with the band

But OH NO!

The organist was flung over board

Belle: Can’t you play piano???

Varian: Uhhhhh

So like Varian play’s piano for a bunch of mouse 

Then Hugo’s mouse just starts singing 

AT NIGHT WHEN THE LAKE IS A MIRROR!

So then they make it to their destination

Hugo is pretty bummed because his mouse is being convinced to sign a record label with the other mece 

Hugo: Ya done good Mr. President, ya done good.

Then like Belle is laying awake cause she knows she’s sending Varian and Hugo to their doom cause like she wanted the scissors to save her and her family from being birds

She flies to Cyrus and is all “The deal is off”

And Cyrus is like “mhm, yeah right.”

Then like Varian and Hugo follow her and

Varian: We trusted you-

Varian: We-we TRUSTED YOU!

Hugo: Belle…?

Belle kills Cyrus to save them because she got attached

Varian: Come on, Hugo we’re leaving-

Hugo: But didn’t Belle help us?

Varian: Can you please just listen to me for once?!?!

So Belle’s alone and Varian took the scissors out of spite

Then like, they run into Alec again 

Then they run AWAY from Alec again

Then they find this cottage

And there’s this girl who we’re gonna say is Catalina 

And like Lance is taking the role of Auntie Whispers

LIKE SHIPS IS NOT SUNG HERE HON

They kinda just become buds

Then like Catalina transforms into a wolf and tries to eat them

But Hugo’s mouse ate the bell

Hugo: THE RINGING OF THE BELL COMPELS YOU TO GET OUT OF POOR CATALINA!!!!

So then the evil spirit leaves Catalina and happy times!

Varian and Hugo sail down a lake

Varian is losing hope while Hugo is still trying to have optimism 

They reach land and sleep for the night

Hugo has this dream of a cloud city and fights an evil wind cloud

The Queen of the Clouds rewards him with a wish and Hugo is like “I just want to go home with my little brother, ma’am.”

But the queen tells him that Varian has already been claimed by Donella

So Hugo asks to take his place instead

So Hugo is taken by Donella and Varian wakes up to find Hugo following Donella

Varian runs after then but falls through ice and almost drowns until Belle saves him

Varian wakes up to find himself in a nest with Belle’s bird family he thanks them then leaves to find Hugo

But Belle was already on the job

She sees him perform meaningless tasks for Donella 

Then a strong wind gushes her away and knocks her into Varian

Alec uses up what little Edelwood he had left then comes across Hugo being turned into an Edelwood Tree

Alec tries to free him (long shot I know but p l o t) and fights off Donella

Varian and Belle arrive as Alec disappears

Hugo hands Varian his rock pun rock and asks him to put it back in Mrs. Arianna’s garden cause he stole it

Varian: No no no! You can give it back to her yourself. I’m going to get you out of this. I promise.

Varian: Look! I have your mouse, cheese. Just please stay with me, Hugo. Please.

Suddenly Donella appears offering to keep Hugo's soul alive inside the lantern in exchange for Varian taking over the duties in keeping it lit

Varian considers this then refuses saying that it was stupid cause the lanter held Donella’s soul

Varian free’s Hugo and asks Belle to come with them but Belle refuses and says she’s going to just stay with her family as a bird but Varian hands her the scissors

Then Alec, outraged that Donella had lied to him extinguishes the lantern and kills Donella

Varian and Belle say goodbye

Then boom

Varian wakes up sinking in the lake he see’s Hugo and swims them both to safety passing out when everyone and the police show up

Then they wake up at the hospital and alls well ends well

[ID: A Venn diagram linking Edward Teach from OFMD and Mrs. Langtree from OTGW. Following is a screenshot of both characters upset and singing in front of others, then followed by lyrics from Langtree's Lament:

"1 is the number of men I've loved

and 2 is the times I'll say it's you (it's you)!

3 is the number of days you've been gone

But it feels like four times two

8, at the hour the sun goes down,

I remember life with you around

I wish I had nine lives like that one...oh" /End ID]
