YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO INFODUMP PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT WIGGLY'S SIBLINGS???? THAT HE APPARENTLY HAS????
omg ok SO
Meet the Lords in Black. Charming, aren't they?
Yes, Wiggly does indeed have four brothers who all do different things, so I'll cover them one by one, in order of introduction (since we've already met each of them in Nightmare Time at least once). BTW Nightmare Time has a fuckton of lore in it that I won't go into here, so even though I am about to spoil significant parts of it for you, I do recommend watching it, it's really good and if there's enough interest they might make a third one!
(Also you might notice they're all in doll form in this picture. This is how we knew them up until NPMD introduced us to what I call their Tumblr sexyman forms. Which are rad as hell by the way.)
So you already know Wiggly. That little green fucker, Wiggog Y'Wrath, the Capitalist Cthulu who does uwu-speak and starts a cult by invading people's minds. This will become a bit of a reoccurring theme with these guys. He's also the only one to successfully start an apocalypse, and the only one to have attempted to birth himself into our reality. (Or is he? We'll get to that...) He does seem to have some kind of dominion over the other LiB, as whenever all five of them show up there's always emphasis placed on him, like in NPMD where he does most of the talking while his siblings occasionally butt in.
Now for Bliklotep. Blinky seems to have slightly lower-scale ambitions than Wiggly, but don't let that fool you. Eyeball Boi is still incredibly dangerous. He runs an amusement park, WatcherWorld, deep within the Hatchetfield Witchwood. But it's not for the amusement of the patrons. Oh no. It's for Blinky's own amusement. Once you step inside, every insecurity, every shred of potential conflict will be ripped to the forefront, turning people against each other to the point of trying to kill each other until he's fully infected their minds. It's implied that, if not all, but a significant chunk of the workers at WatcherWorld were once patrons before having their minds taken over by Blinky. He's also implied to be the thing in Trail To Oregon that Jack Bauer sees during his venom-induced hallucination, as Blinky is referred to as "The Watcher With 1,000 Eyes", which is exactly what JB says he sees? Making Blinky the only LiB to induce a Starkid crossover. My headcanon is that the Dikrats founded Hatchetfield. But regardless.
Next up on the roster is Tinky. T'noy Karaxis, the Time Bastard. You may be wondering about that one line in NPMD where he recognised Pete as a Spankoffski, and said he "could have the whole set in his toybox". Has Tinky gone after Pete's relatives?
Well. Um. You know Ted, right? Yeah, his name is Spankoffski. He's Pete's big brother. We actually got the surname reveal before the brother reveal, lol. And that's not the only reveal we got about Ted. Our boy Teddy Bear has this whole entire tragic backstory and it turns out he gets fucked over in literally every timeline! Isn't that fun?
So, to summarise an entire episode: Tinky makes travel fuckery happen, Ted wants to go back in time to fix his life, accidentally goes back to before the time machine was created and gets stuck in the past, literally. Tinky is watching and laughing at the whole thing, then shows up to blow Ted's brain to smithereens with his weird little magic box, the Bastard's Box, where he stores all the people he toys with. Anyway Ted eventually catches up with the present by aging, except now no one knows who he is, he's... actually I won't spoil that. But once he dies he ends up eternally trapped and tortured in the Bastard's Box. Yaaay.
Fast forward to Nightmare Time 2 and we get introduced to Nibbly, in possibly the most unexpected way imaginable. He's revealed to have been behind a whole episode literally right at the end of said episode, and even though it was kind of foreshadowed, it hits you like a freight train in the best way. Remember when I said Wiggly was the only one who tried to birth himself into reality? That was kind of a lie. Nibblenephim can sort of do that anyway. Every year, he can possess a bunch of carcasses and create a living form to walk the earth for one night. He also has a cult of followers who provide him with the carcasses, as well as a sacrifice to feed on. There's a little more to it, specifically with how the sacrifice is chosen, but again, I'm trying to spoil as little as possible. Go watch Nightmare Time. Nibbly also seems to have a "pig" motif, and his theme song, The Nibbly Ditty, is a banger, easily my favourite of the three LiB theme songs we've heard so far.
And finally, we are introduced to Pokotho, in the very last episode of NMT2.
Except no. We were formally introduced to Pokey there, yes, but we've seen his apocalypse already. Long before NPMD, before Nightmare Time, even before Black Friday.
Yeah, remember me saying that Wiggly was the only one to successfully start an apocalypse? That was also a lie! Pokey already did that, and he did it without ever showing his masked face. Remember The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals? The blue spores that came down in a meteor and turned everyone into singing zombies? That was Pokey's doing! That's his blue spores! That's his apocalypse!
This also provides an explanation for why blowing up the meteor didn't work. Emma and Hidgens were right about the hivemind thing, but wrong about the location of the central brain. It wasn't the meteor - the meteor was just the vessel which carried the spores to Earth. The central brain was sitting safely up in the Black and White, laughing as Paul blew himself to smithereens. The central brain was Pokey, the Singular Voice, the most uncompromising of his brothers. The one who hates every voice that is not his own, hence the hivemind and making all of his zombies speak in HIS voice.
Anyway in NMT2 he's happily collecting musical zombies by taking on a human form and infiltrating a fighting ring of superpowered children until he has enough to kickstart another apocalypse. (Don't question it, we're almost done). He also calls himself Otho, not Pokey, making him the only LiB to have two different abbreviations of his name. Hannah is also there (remember her? Lex's little sister?) and she is like incredibly important to this whole thing, she has a super powerful mind, but that's a whole other thing.
But I did mention Hannah for a reason. Because you said "Wiggly's SIBLINGS". And while the Lords in Black are always referred to as brothers, they do have one more sibling. A sister. A Queen in White. And her name is Webby.
Yep, Hannah's imaginary friend isn't imaginary, who could have guessed? She's benevolent, always trying her best to combat her brothers' antics, but given that there's one of her and five of them, this is a bit of an uphill battle. Webby doesn't have a full name that we know of, nor does she have a doll. We don't know much about her. And she may not be all-powerful - but then again, neither are her brothers.
Infodump concluded. Hope this helps, it was very fun to write.
yes, the lords in black are very silly. but can we just take a moment to appreciate how freaking terrifying they can be?? the interaction between hannah and the wiggly doll in black friday still creeps me out, the childish intonation and unsettling laugh and jolty pauses between wiggly's words are very effective. he says that he wants to eat hannah, he plans on ripping the president open and taking out his guts, he causes hundreds of deaths through the aggression caused by his toys. tinky controls time and uses it to play with people like they're toys, all the art of his goat form is so disturbing, his obsession with the spankoffskis is a big thing. "i'm gonna have the whole set in my toy box", anyone? nibby has an insatiable hunger, uses the melted flesh of pig corpses to go around hatchetfield swallowing people (like linda). he cares about nothing but his all-consuming need to eat. pokey succeeded in starting the apocolypse, using hatchetfield like a set in which to perform a musical of his own design, possessing people and using them as his stars. he wants everyone to be dead but him, controlling a hivemind of human puppets that tear each other apart and spread his infection further. blinky sees everything, refusing to let his workers blink and knowing what anyone and everyone is doing. he's the watcher with a thousand eyes, and takes enjoyment in watching bill and alice nearly kill each other.
they're honestly so unnerving, from their lack of care for human lives and bloodlust to their playful manner and habit of getting a little too invested in people. they see the citizens of hatchetfield as toys, and aren't afraid to break them. they're sadistic, violent, powerful gods.
and that's partly why i find it so funny that they choose to dress up in bright neon looking like an unhinged version of a kids' show's cast.
The sillies
The Wiggly one is probably him looking at MacNamara in Black Friday gjijifrjidfji.
WIGGOG Y'RATH, THE LORD IN BLACK.
I forgot how much fun is to draw tentacles. Anyway I love this man.
So I rewatched Black Friday on Black Friday here are some notes I made:
- The Wiggly song is way too long to be a real advert
- Paul was right, Wiggly really does worm his way into your brain
- This line from Tim: “I wanted to have fun” Is foreshadowing for the scene: Tom and Lex. Tom really just ignored his wants at the beginning
- Notice how Tom said “He was sledding, with his mother” more evidence that Tim doesn’t want anything material, he just wants to spend time with his family
- “I’d give up both of my arms to get you on track”, well, he did get stabbed
- Wiley making references to (possibly?) the black and white and people killing each other for a Wiggly
- Webby knowing that having the backpack with Wiggly in it is gonna cause a lot of problems
- Ethan and Lex calling Hannah “banana” and then Wiggly calling her that later
- Ethan saying “Cross my heart, hope to die”, biggest death flag there is
- This is something a first time viewer could point out but the “My mom’s a bitch” with no context beforehand
- Think about the implications of Ethan saying “We’re missing in action” (It’s what the M.I.A in CaliforM.I.A stands for btw), more major death flags
- This is something a first time viewer could point out but wtf did Gerald do in that Cinnabon? Also this explains why they thought he was the murderer in “Hatchet town” tbh I’d think the same thing
- This is something a first time viewer could point out but Gerald kept that car running the entire musical, most likely
- They really just let Tom cut in line even though Linda had to bribe people to cut in
- “I hope you don’t get a Wiggly. I hope you fucking die.” Arguably the best line in the entire musical and more foreshadowing
- This is something a first time viewer could point out but Man in a Hurry (Jeff Blim’s character) fangirl screaming at Becky X Tom
- This is something a first time viewer could point out but the following characters loose their place in line: Linda after “What do you say”, she recovers though; Becky and Tom, from what I saw, after “Our Doors Are Open”
- I want the people’s opinion: If someone sues another person in Hatchetfield, does Gary do both the Defense and prosecution? Or do I not know how law works? Anyone say he’s also the judge?
- This is something a first time viewer could point out but the fact that the person holding the Wiggly, not counting Frank cause he’s selling them, still sings the song and doesn’t run away to keep it for themselves could be proof that this is a sequel to The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals and this is just what happened when Wiggly asked/forced Pokey to make a musical about him
- “You made my Christmas list” reminds me of the line: “Let me check my Christmas list” from “the summoning” both talk about death (Gary and Man in a Hurry trying to kill each other, Wiggly wanting Steph to kill Peter) and they both involve Wiggly in some way
- Linda never got to her hair appointment
- After watching Honey Queen the fact that Linda would want to be adored more than Gerald already adores her confuses me, he literally died for her and killed for her if I remember correctly
- This is something a first time viewer could point out but how the hell did they get a Wiggly doll in the Oval Office without someone being killed?
- Is it possible to spin someone around by their leg?
Gonna do Act 2 tomorrow, I did this way too late in the day
So I rewatched Black Friday Act 2 and here are some notes I made:
- The rivalry between Northville and South heights reminds me of Hatchetfield and Clivesdale’s
- The elf that Joey plays only says “That’s right!”
- The whiplash of the childish “Santa!” And the making out
- Wilbur and Wiley are the same person, how the hell did I not notice that?
- If Linda saw Wiggly, how did his true form not melt her mind like Pokey said, unless he was actually just frightening Peter, Steph and Grace like Wiggly said, what a nasty boy
- Pretty obvious and something a first time viewer could point out but “Should we move these boxes first?” - reference to after show-stopping number
- Charlotte became a Wiggly follower and she put on the “magic hat”, she then disappeared during “Wiggle” which is kinda confusing cause it looks like she had no costume changes after that point, maybe to keep her alive for “What if Tomorrow Comes”
- Tim never appeared after the scene “Paul & Emma” despite being the entire reason for Tom’s involvement in the musical
This was shorter than my notes for Act 1 but meh
POV you are kicked out into the Black&White and see this. Yes, he's a fucking mermaid.
My take on the Lords in Black! The Summoning was my favorite scene without a doubt
