The Lang Brothers Really Said: The Cosmic God Of Time And Space, A Eldritch Horror Who Is Fuelled By

The Lang brothers really said: “The Cosmic God of Time and Space, a Eldritch Horror who is fuelled by tormenting people - a being capable of driving his lessers into insanity within seconds and able to trap them into a torturous eternity………is a furry”.

And as iconic as that is….huh?

Has anyone done this yet?

Ladies, Gentlemen and everyone else, today I woke up winning.

Time bastard, You got some place else to be?

God gave me Procreate Dreams and a vision.

Hi! So a process video of this artwork kinda got popular on tiktok and a commenter pointed out a few of the references. So here’s a concise list of all of them for you! (Also a close up picture of the newspaper and missing poster without the dark overlay in the undercut below. You can now appreciate how long I spent rendering bees/honey).

Missing poster:

The clothing mentioned on the missing poster was what Ted was wearing in Time Bastard (dark grey pants from TGWDLM).

The baby blue studebaker Ted owns was mentioned in Abstinence Camp.

Detective Shapiro was in NPMD. Missing person cases are usually suspected to be homicide after a week, hence why to call her.

The phone number on the poster, 200-419-2104, is a reference to the years Ted time travels to in Time Bastard. He starts in 2019, goes to 2104, and gets stuck in 2004.

He has long hair in the missing photo because it’s in a bun during Time Bastard. Long hair Spankoffski supremacy.

I know that Joey is like 6” but I imagine Ted being slightly taller then Peter, hence why I gave him a few more inches.

Not a reference but I made his birthday Valentine’s Day because I think that’s funny.

Newspaper:

The missing article mentions he was last physically seen at the Hatchetfield Natural History Museum, which is where Paul 23 and Android Emma’s wedding was held (Forever & Always)

Watcher World Ad. The text itself is actually combination of the official promo synopsis and the text of “Blinkys watch party” shown on the back of the playbill in the Workin’ Boys short film.

CCRP is hiring for a technical support position….you know the position Ted worked….mans only been ‘missing’ a week and they already replacing him. You know full well Sylvia already nailed his office door shut at this point.

Mamma Mia Ad as a reference to TGWDLM.

The Birdhouse being burnt down is a reference to when Android Emma burnt it down in Forever & Always to cover up her massacre. This whole piece is suppose to be the day after that occurred, yk the day he gets murdered….

Sam Sweedly, Officer Bailey, Mayor Solomon Lauter and Dan Reynolds are all mentioned in the article about The Birdhouse burning down.

Honey Queen Auditions for the honey queen festival. The text itself is actually straight from the EP, from the beginning where Dan talks about it on Morning Cup O’ News. Yes, they straight up post Clivesdale slander in their newspaper. Fuck Clivesdale.

The photo of the bees is actually just a painted screencap from the honey queen song in the nightmare time ep.

Also I had to work out all the hypothetical dates and times for this-

Paul and Emma’s wedding happens in the summer of 2019, and it would have had to been on a Sunday (idk why they did that) for Ted to wake up the next day (not realising he’s in the future) to go to his Monday meeting.

He was last seen physically on the 21st of July 2019, leaving the Hatchetfield Natural History Museum at 11.10pm (when Paul called him a cab). Then his last sighting was on CCRP security cameras at 11.24pm entering the building.

Paul got back from his honeymoon a week after his wedding, so would have been back to work on Monday the 29th. Then the events of Forever & Always happen and Android Emma burns down The Birdhouse to cover up her massacre. The newspaper is reporting on this the morning after, on the 30th of July.

Uh that’s about it folks! I put in wayyyyy to much effort into writing a fake newspaper that idk if some people even realise can be read. Thanks for loving the art guys!

This is Hatchetfield, People go missing everyday!

Time bastard, You got some place else to be?
