#the neighbour's under the bed

[pan-tran-dndfan]

Been watching a bunch of Shoot from the Hip's plays a lot lately, and I forgot how many amazing quotes there are

"That's pretty much all witches are really, just drug dealers with a bit more, you know, va va voom."

"Everyone thinks we're all nice and friendly so they don't see it coming when you say 'Oh, would you like a nice cup of tea?' And then you stab them."

"They're afraid you're losing your touch" "Oh, Pish" "Yes, Pish is very upset with you."

"My body is a temple to destruction. AN ENGINE OF WAR- I'm not done. A PYRAMID HOUSING THE HATRED OF THOUSANDS. A STADIUM WITH A ROAR OF RAGE, BECOMES THE BITTER JUICE OF DESOLATION. MAKE A CUCKHOLDRESS OF ME. ENGORGE HIM- no, wait- ENGORGE HER, AND HAVE YOURS3LF ENTER HER TONIGHT. I feel a bit faint-"

"HUSBAND! HUSBAND! THE CHINCHILLA'S A FUCKING NAZI!"

The fact they improvise this is genuinely amazing to me, SFTH are a national treasure

SFTH character tweets!!

Y'know if you stop and think about it, a lot of sfth's improvised plays are dark as hell. Like:

A kid was sent to prison and was blamed for burning down half of Somerset even though the fire wasn't his fault and he was just tired of being bullied.

A psychopathic 8-year-old boy murdered his mum and set fire to a zoo, probably killing many people and animals.

A mother tried to protect her son from his father after he killed his best friend, only to be hated by said son and ended up being captured by the one who she once loved.

An innocent woman was burned to death because her husband slept with the neighbour and the neighbour's highly-intelligent kids took revenge by burning down their house.

A man watched his husband die right in his arms and couldn't do anything about it (sure he was revived afterwards but it's still fucking traumatic to have your loved one die in your arms).

And these are just some examples. There's probably more from plays that I haven't watched yet.

I LOVE WHEN WOMEN!! abigail in particular. truly one of the best sfth characters of all time, justice for abigail

also some gay people ig (derek and titch, sherlock and mind-moriarty, bubba and jeremiah, vampire slayer and vampire, sherlock and john, and ofc magnus o'puss)

Just starting to get into SFTH!! Some doodles of all the kids from the longforms I've watched so far!

ok but what if Johnny became withdrawn and overly emotional and struggled with understanding and trusting people but Janae became hyper-aware of his surroundings and peoples feelings and poured all his time into learning seismology as a distraction from their parents neglect and forcing them to play football-

like let’s say those qualities were always there but their parents just made it stronger-

i love when sibling characters are fucked up from the same event but in opposite ways

if i had a nickel each time a female character played by aj would disregard luke's character having a bad omen about the future, i would have three nickels, which is not a lot but makes it way too funny to be true

man, i'm never gonna get over just how wildly underestimated q!bad is and how much of that is to some extent by design. i genuinely think that unless you're there for his streams, you can't really grasp the multiple chess boards that are this one demon's interactions and just how much power he holds over every little thing.

as far as most people are concerned q!bad is kind, and generous, and maybe a little out of the loop. he's the resident complainer, a terrible liar who tries to gaslight everyone, the guy who spent months being nothing more than a walking atm and a glorified babysitter -- he's mischievous and a prankster, but otherwise pretty harmless. that's just bad! a silly little guy, maybe annoying at times but just... bad.

the thing is, q!bad didn't start playing this game when the eggs went missing, my man's been curating how he's seen for a good while, because he *wants* to be non-threatening and dismissed to an extent. he wants to be liked desperately, wants to be of service and takes pride and joy in doing so, wants to be kind because he genuinely enjoys bringing people happiness, sure. he's also devious and macabre and sinister. he's terrifying... but you don't get very far with that, so he hides sharp teeth and words of the devil under careful smiles.

it's still working miraculously, even after it's been made pretty fucking clear that he's the one that kidnapped ron and potentially hurt him -- people still don't expect the depths of his machinations. it's absolutely wild to witness.

he moves with such subtlety, works his way around interactions purposefully slipping here and there, lying poorly on purpose, making himself seem at times... well, ineffective. he plays on what's expected of him and it helps him actually get his shit done without being bothered, because people only look skin deep.

all of this to say that q!bad really showcases the power of underestimating your opponent and how doing so gets you caught in a web you truly can't unravel from because you don't see the strings. he keeps saying that "everything is going according to plan" regardless of how many wrenches are thrown in it because he's the man with a backup plan for his backup plans to his backup plans.

he's absolutely fucking horrifying in a way that is hard to put into words until you see the extend of what he's hiding, and in his darkest moments i can't help but imagine the teeth and terror and snarls that hide under his cloak.

he is also a silly lil kind guy who is one inch tall, though. q!bad contains multitudes.

The fact that I remember most of this should probably be concerning.

MY BODY IS TEMPLE TO DESTRUCTION!

AN ENGINE OF WAR! (I'm not done)

A PYRAMID HOUSING THE HATRED OF THOUSANDS!

A STADIUM WITH A ROAR OF RAGE

BECOMES THE BITTER JUICE OF DESOLATION!

MAKE A CUCKHOLDRESS OF ME!

ENGORGE HIM AND HAVE HIM ENTER- no wait

ENGORGE HER AND HAVE YOURSELF ENTER HER TONIGHT.

Or as other people say; Hi :))

:DDDD

Sleep? With his wife? GO ON!?

hehehehe

A thing I just thought about while in my mildly sleep deprived state but

Do any of Janae's students just wonder why an eight year old is teaching them? Like. None of them just go "our professor is what?" when they first hear about them?

Do some of them think that this is just one big prank held by the uni? Do they respect Janae as a teacher? Do they make fun of them? Are any of them just tired enough that they don't even question the fact that their prof. is 8? Probably!

sfth moments as headlines

(idk if this makes sense, i literally had surgery today and i'm making these to distract myself lmao)

[youling-the-ghost]

In my sfth cinematic universe, Peter Steven, the children from The Neighbour's Under the Bed, and the son from Too Big To Be a Jockey are all in a support group for traumatised youth. The Sisyphus kid is also a frequent visitor.

neighbor's under the bed doodles bc i am beyond obsessed with abigail but finally the obsession has extended its claws to let me think about the rest of the play!!!

johnny and janae highlights reel bc im liking my designs for them! autism brothers, falsettos reference, and johnny being a big brother and helping janae with his shoelaces (for all janae's genius, he never quite figured it out. i just want to make them kids man!!! siblings of all time!!)
