Nightmare Time 2 - Tumblr Posts
The other one’s name is Wilhelmina
no way I forgot to give an update for March's white guy of the month
Douglas "Duke" Keane Jr. holds the title for this month. and let's be honest he deserves it
(January) (February)
listening to the ending of honey queen (the song)
my current favourite Hatchetfield character has no lines and less than a minute of screen time and I'm talking about Mr. Cunningham from Honey Queen
And the reason why he is my favourite is because look at Liz Cunningham's eyes. She's speaking to the cashier, so she's looking toward the cashier.
Mr. Cunningham isn't looking at the cashier. Mr. Cunningham is looking at you.
he is shocked and disappointed by your behaviour.
And most of the time in Nightmare Time when someone looks at the camera, you register it as them speaking with the other character on screen. But the fact that Liz is speaking to the cashier, and looking slightly off screen means that logically Mr. Cunningham is breaking the fourth wall. Love that for him
hi, ricky. i love your art style, and the way you do the lines is so cool! could you please draw duke keane from hatchetfield?
Howdy! Thank you so much, oh my goodness! Of course I can draw some more Duke for ya! He’s one of my favorite Hatchetfield characters, and criminally, i’ve only drawn him a few times.
Have a doodle page! <3
what’re ur favorite nightmare time episodes and why. if ur willing to explain
I haven't watched yellow jacket yet, so im not quite sure, but I would probably say Time Bastard, Honey Queen, Abstinence Camp, or Killer Track.
Time Bastard: I love me some tragic backstories.
Honey Queen: I really like the songs in this one and I love the plot twist. Great storytelling.
Abstinence Camp: need I explain. The Jerrys. Grace. Steph. Peter. It just has so many great characters and got me invested in a straight couple somehow.
Killer Track: GAHHH MISS HOLLOWAY MARRY ME??????? she's so pretty wtf also its just awesome.
I love all of NMT but like if I had to pick it would be these.
should I make a cover thingie for all the nmt episodes? just wondering if anybody would like to see me attempt this (bee you don't count because you say yes to anything and I don't trust you)
I started reading fully ready to be a hater but I have been convinced and am now a Nibbly Stan.
Can someone please explain to me what exactly Nibbly’s done wrong? I mean, he only eats one person a year, and considering the fact that his brothers use mind control and magic, eating someone is a much lesser torture. He isn’t the one who runs the Honey Festival, that’s his cultists (until we get a full rundown of his personality and how the festival/pageant was set up he has plausible deniability), and he certainly isn’t making these women fight and hurt each other for a crown he probably isn’t aware even exists. In fact, the person he eats is usually extremely selfish - the ‘hungriest’ person wins - is that not a benefit to the local community? Sure, Linda Monroe is iconic, but is she a nice person? If you knew her, would you befriend her? Would she befriend you? The same goes for Zoe Chambers, as much as we all love the true Latte Hatte, she was using her grandmother, outed her brother, was willing to kill for a crown and was dating an asshole cop, allowing him to kill her grandmother. Either way it wouldn’t have been a big loss, it was really a two birds with one stone situation when both Zoe and Linda died. Actually, Nibbly eating just one person leads to more than one awful, selfish person being removed from Hatchetfield, you just know that people were celebrating. Also, Nibbly rewards the people who bring him a sacrifice, partially because he presumably knows the heavy mental toll that this kind of work could bring. Plus, he probably eats people really quickly so their suffering is minimised. We only see Nibbly as a villain because of who his family is and because we see the events of Honey Queen through Linda’s eyes. I’m still seeking justice for Nibbly, fight me.
saying something about every hatchetfield production
spoilers, some nonsense, zero consistency with what I talk about, hurriedly written text, and back Cinderella’s Castle, QUICKLY, the kickstarter ends on May 4th. Also I mostly won’t be talking about the message to take away from all of them because I plan to make that another post.
TGWDLM: the catalyst of it all, it set up many fan favorite characters. Also my personal interpretation is that the musical we watch is actually happening in canon and is being put on by Pokky/Paul. Also how much of someone’s personality remain after infection?
Black Friday: it does pretty good as our first (true) intro to the LiBs it works very well. We get more General Macnmara who quickly becomes one of my favs. It also adds a lot of my other favs to the Hatchetverse, Hanna, Lex, Ethan, and Tom
NPMD: probably my favorite of the mainline musicals. I really hate Dirty Girl tho. The musical version of Hatchet Town is better than the OST version. The characters all have really good chemistry. I love Grace as a warning about the consequences of using religion as a fear tactic, when she sinned and wasn’t instantly punished for it she decided to take matters into her own hands and became a bloodthirsty maniac. The fact we got so close to a good ending if Max hadn’t fallen is darkly funny.
Hatchetfield Apeman: I don’t know how to feel about this one, it’s an interesting story but I think shouldn’t have been the first nightmare time story as it set a bad precedent for a lot of people.
Watcher World: I FUCKING LOVE WATCHER WORLD. The horror buildup of “what the fuck is happening here?” was genuinely amazing. The idea of a paranormal amusement part made for the amusement of an elder god id so cool. I feel uncomfortable saying the work “Sniglet”
Forever and always: one of my favs, the mystery of the two Emma’s is amazing, and the twist of which Emma Paul chose is amazing. It does make me wonder tho, is Emma a robot in every timeline? Also im just gonna assume that Tinky is connected to this one.
Time Bastered: another of my favs, the way it connects with FaA and the very clever time travel writing were highlights. The Ted is The Homeless Guy twist is really clever, and the ending is tragic
Jane’s a Car: holy shit my opinions on this one is so mixed. I love the bonding of Becky, Tom, and Tim is so wholesome. I REALLY hate that scene. Also is Jane turned into a car in every universe?
The Witch in the Web: our true into too Webby. Massive lore dumbs sort of weighted it down for me but it was still good.
Honey Queen: god I love this one. The fact that the LiBs aren’t mentioned until the very end was a really good choice. Both Zoey and Linda going to any length to win was some great tension.
Perky’s Buds: I went into this one expecting it to be kinda mid, and I was right but it was on the high end of mid. Ziggy being NB and played by a real NB actor is great! The bird hive mind is genuinely kinda unnerving despite how cute they are. I personally think they should have died, then content on the rooftop with the fire would have been such a good ending, but the police showing up to arrest them packs less of a punch.
Abstinence Camp: again, one of my favs, I fucking love this one and it also has the best Nightmare Timr song. It’s a fun way of exploring the “if you have sex in a horror movie you die” trope. Grace once again gets some sort of power and abuses it.
Daddy: I have mixed feelings, it’s a genuinely interesting plot but it get pretty uncomfortable. The song at the start made me think it would be a more empathetic take on Sherman Young but it definitely fucking wasn’t.
Killer Track: what is there to say? Killer track is actually so fucking amazing, if you will watch anything from this list watch this. I’m saying nothing else
Yellow Jacket: not at all what I was expecting, but it was great! From what I heard I was sort of expecting a high school drama with Pokky doing his bullshit in the background, but I loved this too. Also the ending hurt me.
Workin’ Boys: Pokky strikes again, but I’m not sure why TBH. Motherfucker just decided to fuck with his one most loyal subject and for what?
I was thinking about how in The Summoning, the Lords say "Gamble it on the roll of a dice"
And then i started thinking that there are 6 Lords in Black if you count Webby, so you could make a 6 sided die, each side symbolising each of the Lords, and gamble away your soul or something
So I did. Personally, I think its really cool
(Check rbs for close ups)
so when Hannah Foster regularly convenes with an eldridge force beyond our comprehension it's "having a touch of the gift", but when i, Grace Chasity --
Doing my bit for the good of this amazing franchise.
Just watched the Hatchetfield Halloween Party livestream, they said they'll only do nightmare time 3 if there's enough demand, so please, watch nightmare time 2, show them we want nightmare time 3, rewatch nightmare time, please reblog to spread the message to people who couldn't make the livestream
Rewatching Nightmare Time and listing things that aren't appreciated enough (4)
Honey Queen
Roman being a great villain
"You don't need him to cheat for you, you can cheat for yourself!" I love Gerald
Malone, seriously, how is this guy not more popular, a slovenly private detective played by Joey with a joisey accent? That's amazing!
The FOX news joke
Homeless Ted as "Mr. Broadly"
Honestly, all the songs.
Nick!Hidgens (Nick-dgens?)
Whatever the voice is Corey did for that audience member
Linda being the only person who can actually keep Hidgens in check.
"I'll kick his ass, you kick hers, love you" Have I mentioned that I love Gerald.
The quality of the twist reveal with Nibbly, seriously.

Perky's Buds
This is Grace's first on-screen appearance and it literally starts with her being sprayed with shit.
Gabe feels like he was also supposed to be NPMD somehow but got lost along the day in the writing room. And for as funny as it is, I wish Jeff got a bit more to do than cameo.
The Metzgers being one of the best examples of a horror hillbilly family. Especially Dylan as Bob
The fact Ziggy just refers to them as "those republicans"
"tig ol' bitties"
The fact that the plot is a marijuana themed retelling of Animal Farm.
The ending song showing that Ziggy is only good at traditional graphic design and not digital.
Abstinence Camp
How good Corey looks while smoking a cigar
"I'd like to have an intelligent conversation with you, in other words, shut up."
A classic decapitation-bate joke
"Well, if you two can't keep your hands to yourselves, I'll cut'em off!" We always talk about Boy Jerry's goofy threats but we don't talk about this enough
Pete owns a shake-weight
Ted's jazz mag saves the day, let that sink in.

Daddy
That last shot of the opening song where the care-bears turn in the Lords in Black, brilliant
They gave Frank a dog just to kill it, seriously, the fuck?
The brown and blue color pallet of Sherman's regular clothes actually working really well
How well they set up the in-universe toys as believable brands
Jaime being the goat this episode
Barry Swift manages to be developed past just The Man In A Hurry while still entirely revolving around being in a hurry (his ex-wife left him because he was in a rush to start a family, that's fucking amazing comedy writing)
Ted "Doomed by the goat's narrative" Spankoffski appearing just to die by several gunshots (one of which being to the nards)
The specific use of the phrase "inbred" to describe the Hachetmen who killed Sherman's father makes me think the Metzgers were directly involved.
Sherman's "I've outgrown you, mother" line is raw as fuck and a great climax for the reveal that he was more aware than anyone knew
Killer Track
Jae's performance as Kale
False Lashes needs to be another fandom in-joke
How good the black book prop is
Duke owns a cat, seriously, why does no one talk about this?
How damn cool the idea of a sentient, predatory sound is
"By popular demaaa-AA-aaa-AA-aand"
Kale's death, that was badass
Rewatching Nightmare Time and listing things that aren't appreciated enough (7)
Yellow Jacket
Angela going hard in the opening number
Webby wants to cheer up Hannah and her first instinct is to pull some Robin Williams Genie shit
On that note, Webby is an eldritch being yet struggles to grasp that teens have poor emotional control
Eddie Chiplucky, we talk a lot about him, but it's not enough
Going by Bruno and that other staff member, I like to think the entire staff of the Roller-rama are Dylans
Jeff's announcer
Pokey having the most anime-ass self insert OC while acting like he's classy
Charles, might actually be my favorite Hachetfield villain
FINALLY!
For all those how have been waiting oh so patiently (for 3+ years) I have finally added the Nibbly design to my first version of the ‘Versus the Lords in Black’ series, so with baited breath I introduce to you…
🔴Linda vs Nibbly🔴 (Honey Queen)
I went ahead and included all the other posters so they can be seen together (as god intended)
I will also be uploading this straight to my Redbubble after, in case anyone wants it
Fun Fact: I named this file "if i had a wiggly for every time joey played a villain consumed by magic powers beyond their comprehension expressed through green light i'd have way more wigglys than anyone can handle but its weird that it happened twice" because I couldn't get it out of my head so welcome back to art that's specifically funny to only me and combine it with "I'll just do a quick simple drawing" that goes a bit out of hand anyway....eh it happens
The complete Hatchetfield-verse poster set
All of these are up on my Redbubble if you would like to buy a sticker or poster of these designs!!!
