What We (indirectly) Learned From The TADC Update

What we (indirectly) learned from the TADC update

So many adventures and characters announced!

Where do we start? How about we do (sort of) chronological order

Starting with...

The only one we have a name for! This is also the one we see the most of, so it's probably in episode 2.

And here we have some colorful denizens of the seeming medieval and western confectionary realm:

So we have a gummy-gator sheriff, a chocolate blob, what might be a more distinct varirent of Dr. Football (the bath mannequin) and a literal Candy Queenie.

This just proves to me that TADC will pull a Psychoville and give the oldest main cast member the first spotlight episode. The actual character significance is something we'll get to later.

Now, adventure no. 2. Spudsy's!

You can see the brand name on the bag, btw.

The glove might belong to Spudsy, themselves, it might actually BE Spudsy, or it might just be a floating glove. Time will tell.

But Jax being so freaked out makes me wonder if this will actually be his episode. I'm actually not sure if this is episode 3 or 4 and, again, we'll get back to this.

We also learn the blue sphere person is (likely) the base template of the Spudy's customers.

Now, The Ghost Manor!

The only confirmed shots we get of it are of a little ghoulie and the Ghost Hostess from the teaser. This is my other contender for episode 3 or 4. The reason I'm unsure is this:

We get these very similar shots of a recorder classed as a new character, and Kinger beating someone with a shotgun. The light makes it seem like this might be in the ghost episode, or it might be a Kinger's backstory related flashback/delusion.

And lastly, the sport adventure we get teased with:

As the only unrelated asset we see, I'm guessing this will be in episode 5.

On the production side, we have this in the description:

From how she's talked about it before, it seems Goose currently plans on 1 season while planning to leave enough room to continue the series with a second season at some point.

And most importantly, we're looking at May as a likely, though importantly, not confirmed, release window for episode 2.

In conclusion, GET HYPED!!!

Ramses Recommends: The nostalgically chipper frights of Necro Nancy 64

Welcome back!

This time around I have something more substantial for you all.

Necro Nancy first came around as a comic on it's creator's newgrounds, which can be found here

Since then, the same newgrounds as well as Macabre's youtube channel have become home to a series of retro game styled animations following the titular revenant and her friends' antics in the monster filled city of Necropolis.

If you're a Spooky Month fan, or have an interest in low poly stuff in general, you'll find plenty to love in this series. And with it's 3rd episode already in (early) production, there's plenty more to come.

Should you be interested, I suggest viewing the series before continuing.

So, for those who came back, or didn't even leave, Let's dive a bit further into what makes this gem click!

Firstly, Nancy herself. She's a well rounded protagonist, being able to work as both a source of comedy and as the voice of reason with both Ghoulia and Renwick. Her simple design combined with her expressive animation helps cement her as the core of the series.

Meanwhile, Ghoulia and Renwick act as great foils, complimenting Nancy as a character in there own ways.

Ghoulia being somewhat dismissive while also trying to hide how much she cares for Nancy makes their interactions a lot of fun, her voice acting also makes her very entertaining in her own right.

Renwick's know-it-all attitude paired with his impulsive nature makes him the most unpredictable of the main cast, which is also what makes him fun.

Lastly, Necropolis is a great setting in potential for stories and even lore. It's also stylistically rich with both the n64 aesthetic and the actual designs of the individual locations, making for a very captivating experience.

And there you have it, a brilliantly made and criminally overlooked series with a unique way of blending together many familiar elements into something with a very distinct and thoroughly appealing.

If I were you, I'd keep a loose eyeball on this ;) Thanks for reading!

Analyzing the SM6 cast line up teaser

More fun for the non-patrons as a height chart of episode 6's characters dropped and I have *thoughts*

Before we delve into the analysis, be advised that this will reference my SM6 prediction post, which can be found here.

And out last bit of preface

These three new characters teased in an earlier update are hereafter referred to as the businessman, the new mortician and the cat lady.

Bear that in mind.

So here's the 2 lined height chart, so let's start putting names to these blobs!

Line 1: The Thieves, Lila, Skid and Pump, Susie (she's pretty hard to see, but you can mostly notice her shirt and hair), Mr. Wonder, Jaune, Jaune's Husband (who was shown in full in an earlier update).

The next figure at first appears to be another shadow, but upon closer inspection seems to be Father Gregor, after that we have;

The Cat Lady, Dexter (likely in another missing ad or for his body being unpossessed, if for a moment), Patty, John and Jack, then we have the first totally new character, a massive person (taller than Frank, making them the new tallest human in the series) who brings me to my first new theory:

This character, whose proportions are highly evocative of a cartoon vampire, will be either yet another new mortician, or in charge of the hospital's blood bank. Funnily enough, this actually matches weirdly well to a half-joking conversation me and @crossover-enthusiast had the other day.

Line 2: Skid and Pump again (for reference), Ross, Robert and Roy, Kevin, Radford (in his teased casual outfit), the actor in the Happy Fella suit, Mayor Evermore, The New Mortician and then... Roy's Uncle??!?!

This might be my biggest validation yet, as I've had a thought for some time of us first seeing the New Demon in hell, torturing the Uncle, if this ends up being true, I am officially the king of the SM fandom!... Where were we?

Oh yeah, we then have; Ignacio, The Businessman, Frank and yet another totally new character, a portly person I have no solid theories on.

Before I leave, I'd like to mention some characters who are missing here (other than Moloch and any other supernatural characters who might appear). Those being; Lucky, the Actor and Actress and Rick.

Rick is the only notable outlier, as he's a relatively major character, so where is he?

Well, I think Rick's absence is quite simple to explain. While not outright confirmed, Rick is heavily implied to be working at Gonuts in episode 6, meaning he's wearing a new uniform. I think Pelo just didn't want to spoil this, and so left Rick and his new outfit out of the line up.

And that's all I've got! One last note before we're done here, I'm pretty sure next week's update will be the episode 6 trailer, so there's that.

What she say? O_O

hi crossie showed me the roy one shot and OH MY GOD I LOVW IT SO MUCHJDBDJHDBDHDJ

it's so well written and amazing in the angstiest way possible i love it so much jdhdudjdjs

Thank you so much! It was actually partly based on a plotline from the special 20th anniversary season 4 of The League of Gentlemen, which saw a character confront the return of his mob-boss esque dad, only known as "Pop" There might be some more chipper stuff coming soon.

Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.
