Obsessed with Nightmare Time episodes that are like “Really? You thought this was a character who just so happened to be played by Joey Richter? ✖️WRONG✖️ it's Theodore Spankoffski.”

“Aside from TGWDLM (and a brief BF cameo), Ted Spankoffski has long hair and we as a fandom need to represent that more often within our fanworks, ” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“They’re right,” he says. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 5th row stands: Joey Richter himself, with long hair.

If I being completely honest, I really think this fandom really forgets what kind of a person Ted is supposed to be a lot of the time. Especially when writing/talking about the kind of relationship he has with Pete. Ted is literally self described as “not a good person”. I think the way people characterize him a lot of the time doesn’t line up with how he is in canon. Nick lang literally describes him as a lonely, pathetic man. But like the way some people characterize him makes it seem like he’s just a guy who’s horny and not someone who is fully ok abandoning someone he’s known for probably years if it means he’ll escape right after promising to be a good person. He’s willing to spend his whole life pretending to be a little ape if it means he can get laid. Same thing in Hey Melissa where he’s literally willing to pretend to be a dog. He has a sad backstory but I feel like especially in fanfics, they really lose the pathetic nature to him.

It’s always disheartening to see the difference in views on the first episode of nightmare time compared to everything else. Last I checked ape man and watcher world had 500k views and everything heavily declined from there. Which sucks, because nightmare time is so important to Hatchetfield, it gives us new characters and lore and npmd isn’t as good if you don’t watch at least nightmare time 2 first

I think all these problems end up falling on specifically hatchetfield ape man. New characters for the most part (Hidgens, a mention of Becky, and Ted). Other than that everyone is entire new, we hadn’t even heard of an ape man before this. The format didn’t help with this either. I’m glad they changed from everyone being visible to just the people talking. It felt more professional that way. And the story itself is just lackluster. Lucy never comes back and neither does Chumby (I think that was his name). It wasn’t overly comedic or scary, it’s forgettable in every sense of the word and never lead anywhere. For nightmare time 1, watcher world introduces blinky, we get Paul 23 and Emdroid in forever and always, and people generally love Paul and Emma so they’re always fun to see. Same thing with Jane’s a Car, we also get teased as to the lords in blacks names in that. TB gives us Tinky and the Ted is the homeless man reveal, and Witch in the Web introduces Holloway and Duke, Webby in her human form, the black book, nightmare time as an actually setting, and more smaller things that are just great for the world building. That leaves Ape Man as the sore thumb, and not only that but it’s the first episode. It doesn’t help that they hadn’t figured out the format

It’s so sad I know so many people never made it past the first episode, especially since there’s so much amazing content to be had in NMT, especially NMT2
