Starkid is one of the absolute best arguments for supprting independent art. The fact that the shows you're invested in can't get canceled by Big Daddy Streaming, the quality is always amazing, the love of the cast and crew doesn't get squeezed out by surprise budget reductions, the fact that since crowd funding provides almost all costs up front (plus the presence of voluntary digital ticket/in person tickets for additional funding), the fan base can access the full material for whatever cost they can contribute (even if you can give nothing monetarily, you will still get a professionally shot version of the material eventually, without surprise fees or password crackdowns, AND with captions/completely accesible regardless of location). The same goes for Tin Can Bros, Shipwrecked, and all the other associated theater and web series companies loosely connected to Starkid. Like, I cannot believe the amazing content provided to us at the same level as Broadway or streaming services with billion dollars at hand, with almost none of the catches that come with others. Like, I cannot believe that we get all of this right at our hands.

Can someone remind me how Corey Dorris plays both Bill "i can't live in a world without my daughter" Woodward AND Solomon "im trying to have an intelligent conversation with you stephanie, in other words, shut up" Lauter

I'd kill for bill and id just kill solomon

the romances in hatchetfield fuck me up so bad like. every time. like youve got:

the most normal couple of all time, except one of them always seems to understand when the world is going to end and they inevitably are driven apart by something out of their control.

two grungy teens/young adults who will never get a happy ending so long as theyre together

a woman who everyone forgets and the man who falls in love with her every time he meets her again and again and again.

high school sweethearts haunted by their pasts and sometimes their futures, too.

a nerd and a 'cool kid', who just keep trying to sacrifice themselves for each other despite something interrupting them every time.

romance is not dead in hatchetfield! except for the fact that it usually ends up dying horribly and tragically.

Time Bastard(s)

The Time Bastard, Bastard of Time and Space, and Bastard Box all in one place~

Ever since I watched npmd Hatchetfield has taken over my life. And Ted's probably my favourite character. He's an asshole and a stupid idiot, I like that in a man.

Just watched Jons tgwdlm watch party and in the last 5 minutes he was like “yeah I think Pauls probably bi” SIR YOU CANNOT JUST DROP THIS INFORMATION ON ME??????

#it makes me so happy #i think im just that deprived of characters that are canonically bisexual #bc I literally only watch mainstream gay people shit #and god forbid they actually say a character is bisexual #it’s like #ruth fleming #and probably some Yonderland characters #oh and lazlo and nadja #that’s all i can think of rn #team starkid #starkid #nerdy prudes must die #tgwdlm #the guy who didn't like musicals #jon matteson

i like to imagine that paul suit discourse happens in-universe too. it's like one of those "blue and black or white and gold" things - every new CCRP employee is interrogated on what colour they think paul's suit is, and then unknowingly dragged into war based on their answer. if CCRP ever has company bonding paintball games, the teams are always split by what colour they think paul's suit is. one day, ted asks him directly, and when paul 'disagrees' (it's his suit and it's brown, god damn it. it says it right there on the label, see!) he insists the poor guy must be colourblind or some shit.

Pokey: Welcome to the first meeting of the "Fuck Paul Matthews" club! Members, please introduce yourselves. 😊

Emma, Mr. Davison, Greenpeace Girl, Melissa, Bill, and Ted, sweating: Um, I think we misunderstood what this club was about.

Pokey: No…. you were right. 😔

okay so steph is definitely a music purist?

we can all agree on that right? like she's a 'said she was born in the wrong generation in middle school' fleetwood mac, david bowie, the mamas & the papas, niche modern indie artists and also chappell roan kind of music listener. obviously. but.... i dont think we've really considered pete's music taste?

pete, who is a science, left-brained kind of kid, so he probably does not actively go out to look for music and is instead just provided music by the people around him?

pete whose older brother is theodore spankoffski and so his earliest and most fond and nostalgic music influences from his childhood would have come directly from ted's cd collection???

basically what im saying is peter spankoffski has the most trashy, early 00's ke$ha, black eyed peas my humps era, all american rejects ass music taste in the world

that boy had bowling for soup's 1985 memorized at age four, his guilty pleasure music is hollywood undead's everywhere i go, ted did his first decent person move in years when pete came out as trans as a kid and stopped listening to grow a pear by ke$ha and pete forcibly made him play it because it's a bop

and then his only friends are a weeb and a theatre kid.

steph gives him the aux cord on a date to be nice, as a sign of trust, and is blasted in the face with the most uncurated mess of j-pop, sondheim, weezer, and like... owl city's fireflies and that's just a fact

#I must clarify this isn’t a dig at any of these songs they all fuck #my source is im a youngest child with a decently older brother and all of my nostalgic music is literally this #my mom had to force my brother to limit what songs he played around me because I was six years old and started saying the word hoe a lot #peter spankoffski #also my hc is Pete is teds full brother so their parents are just Old and Pete stood NO chance #he grew up around Dickhead Era Ted and a dad who forced him to name classic rock bands when they came on the radio #and also my source is my music taste is also the peoples around me because im bad at finding music #nerdy prudes must die #stephanie lauter #starkid #lautski #he also probably really likes train

I'm anticipating this with the same energy that swifties anticipate vault tracks. Anyway can't wait for Let It Out (Jon's Version)

#i'm not an active twitter user #but you all should go scream support at him so he actually does this #jon matteson #tgwdlm #the guy who didn't like musicals #starkid #hatchetfield #let it out #inevitable #paul matthews #npmd #black friday

[scripted-downfall]

It's kinda hilarious how the Lords in Black looked at Ted and went "yeah, no, fuck this one guy in particular" for no real discernible reason. Like, obviously, there's Tinky and his Spankoffski Poké Ball, but then there's Pokey who a) turned homeless!Ted immediately and then had him dance two feet away from his infected little brother and b) passes up on turning anyone with Join Us or Die solely to taunt/beat up Ted with his girlfriend and her husband. And! They all collectively agree that they're gonna try to make Grace/Steph/Peter all think that killing Pete is the way to go, even though they shouldn't really care whether Steph dies or Grace loses her [redacted] because they're all still "things they cherish the most". What the hell made these eldritch beings decide to fixate on fucking Ted of all people??

#he escapes black friday without any personal attention from any of the lib #like he just gets nuked and isn't personally enslaved by wiggly or what have you #but only because Wiggly's obsessed with a *different* Joey Richter character #and homeless!ted still dies in the mall #it's thrue that i'm saying all of this as someone who loves Ted's character tho so #i can't really talk #it's that good ol' spankoffski charm ig (wink) #starkid #team starkid #hatchetfield #hatchetverse #the guy who didn't like musicals #tgwdlm #nerdy prudes must die #npmd #ted spankoffski #lords in black #tnoy karaxis #tinky starkid #pokotho #pokey starkid #i guess I'll tag Peter too? #peter spankoffski

I am Thinking About The Implications regarding Ted’s love interests

With Jenny, they were best friends, there was genuine affection and mutual feelings for each other but neither of them acted on it because they both assumed they didn’t have a chance, and then it was too late

With Charlotte, Ted was in love with her but she didn’t reciprocate, he was just one of the men she was having an affair with behind her husband’s back. He never lets himself be too vulnerable and open with her about his feelings, resorting to either yelling at her or just deflecting whenever she starts to talk about Sam. He’ll just take whatever he can get with her

With Lucy, he can actually express his feelings and be affectionate, but only because he’s playing the role of Konk. He has something to hide behind instead of being truly vulnerable. Even when he’s only talking to Hidgens, at least later in the episode, he stays in character, he falls into Konk’s speech patterns because he’d rather be him, in part because Lucy likes Konk. He even asks that she let him die as Konk just so he can feel loved by her

And then, before he’s approached by Sheila, we learn he does actually want to someday start a family, get married and have kids

After the misunderstanding with Jenny, Ted no longer feels he can be open and vulnerable about his feelings, puts up this front of only being interested in sex when he really does want a relationship beyond that, and only feels safe expressing himself truthfully to others when he’s someone else

Ted please for the love of god learn how to express your feelings in a healthy way I am begging you

#if a woman ever showed Ted genuine love and care without him hiding behind some character i bet he’d just melt on the spot #someone gently touches his hand and smiles at him and he immediately shuts down for a solid minute then blurts out ‘marry me’ #he admits all his flaws and they tell him they believe he can actually become a better person and he bursts into tears #shut up let me have my unrealistic fantasies #Ted Spankoffski #Hatchetfield #the guy who didn't like musicals #TGWDLM #Nightmare Time #starkid #team starkid
