Nightmare Time S2 - Tumblr Posts
[image description: a post by Starkid announcing the next season of Nightmare Time. There is a hexagon in the centre, outlined in white, against a dark background where blue lines and squiggles seem to emerge from the hexagon. Inside the hexagon is a greyscale image of a bee on a hive. On top of the image is a translucent, glowing, large letter ‘N’.
Each corner of the background has a letter, black with a white glow around it. Top left is ‘H’, top right is ‘O’, bottom left is ‘P’, bottom right is ‘E’. Three corners of the hexagon have little triangles in them—the centre left, and the two bottom corners. End ID]

GUYS GUYS GUYS LOOK
Also I don’t know if this is important or not, but the S at the bottom seems to be glowing?
[image description: the second post by Starkid about Nightmare Time Season 2. A greyscale image of some honey being removed from a jar is inside a white-outline hexagon at the centre of the image. A semi-transparent ‘T’ is on top of the honey. The top two, centre right and bottom right corners of the hexagons have little triangles in them.
The background is dark with blue scratch shapes. In each corner of the background is a white-outlined letter: the top left is ‘E’, top right is ‘N’, bottom left is ‘D’, bottom right is ‘S’, glowing brighter than the other letters. End ID]

This time tagging Joey - so T stands for Ted surely. So then who is N?

[image description: a summary of a theory regarding Starkid’s Nightmare Time Season 2 clues.
The letters in the hexagons—N, G, H, T —are all in the word ‘Nightmare’ so have been placed in the order they would be in this word.
Taking the letters in the corners of each post, it has been split between the top corners and bottom corners. The top is ‘H O _ _ Y Q U E E N’ which is assumed to be ‘Honey Queen’ and the bottom is ‘P E _ _ Y S B U D S’ assumed to be ‘Penny Buds’.
The letters U, B and S are highlighted as per the original images. End Id]

Ok, its all looking pretty good!
Also apologies to the Vertex fandom, I feel like Mariahs post now disproves the idea that the corners indicate how these slot together.
But what that does mean, is that thats another clue we need to work out!!!
[image description: a third ‘clue’ post by Joey Richter for Starkid’s Nightmare Time Season 2. This shows a large, translucent ‘G’ inside a hexagon, with a greyscale image of a boat in water behind it. The hexagon, outlined in white, has triangles in the two top and bottom crevices.
The background looks like dark blue scratches and each corner of the background has a letter, outlined in white. Top left is Y, top right is Q, bottom left is Y, bottom right is S. end ID]

RIGHT SO JOEY WAS TAGGED ON THE T POST AND JOEY = TED
Joey tAGGED MARIAH ON THE G POST. MARIAH = GREENPEACE GIRL/GRACE CHASTITY WHICH ARE THE ONLY G CHARACTERS I CAN THINK OF
[image description: a fourth ‘clue’ post by Mariah Rose Faith for Starkid’s Nightmare Time Season 2. This shows a large, translucent ‘H’ inside a hexagon, with a black and white image of birds on some leafless trees. The hexagon, outlined in white, has triangles in the centre left and bottom right crevices.
The background looks like dark blue scratches and each corner of the background has a letter, outlined in white. Top left is U, top right is E, bottom left is B, bottom right is U. The top left U and the B are both glowing more than the other letters. end ID]
NEXT ONE’S OUT NEXT ONE’S OUT

and mariah tagged curt so keep an eye on him-

[image description: a fifth ‘clue’ post by Curt Mega for Starkid’s Nightmare Time Season 2. This shows a large, translucent ‘M’ inside a hexagon, with a black and white image of an axe lodged into a tree stump. The hexagon, outlined in white, has triangles in the top left, two centre and bottom left crevices.
The background looks like dark green scratches, and the top two corners have a letter outlined in white. The top left is ‘A’ and the top right is ‘B’. The B is glowing more than the A. End ID]
Obvious changes: The ‘M’ fits in with the idea of ‘Nightmare’ being what the big letters are spelling, there’s only two letters in the corners, and the background changed colour.
[image description: the ‘connected the dots meme’ edited so the Starkid Fandom say ‘I’ve connected the dots’, with Team Starkid replying ‘you didn’t connect shit’ and the Starkid Fandom reasserting ‘I’ve connected them’. End ID]

The Nightmare Time posts are making all of us detectives.

POSSIBLE NEW CAST MEMBER ALERT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT SHES GORGEOUS
[image description: another clue for Starkid’s Nightmare Time Season 2 posted by Bryce Charles. This shows a large, translucent ‘T’ inside a hexagon, with a greyscale image of the spine of a handmade book being tied. The hexagon, outlined in white, has triangles in the bottom left, and centre right vertices.
The background looks like dark green scratches, and the top two corners have a letter outlined in white. The top left is ‘C’ and the top right is ‘E’. End ID]

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
2 VERTICES, KEEPING TO THE 2-4-2 PATTERN
NEW NONVERTEX LETTERS: C and E
THIS ALSO CONFIRMS TIME IS GREEN AS WE INITIALLY THOUGHT
[image description: a series of the Starkid’s recent clues, posted on Instagram, for Nightmare Time Season 2, with feature a large letter in the centre, and some letters in the corners. They have been compiled, mainly with large letters but also a few corner letters, to read ‘Satan is a real man’. End ID]
