The new starkid actor who plays the character with a direct link to the musicals title (Jon [Paul], Angela [Lex], Will [Max])
The two characters that fall for each other over the course of the musical (Paulkins, Barneston, Lautski)
That interlude song about a musical that is a part of the Hatchetverse but has nothing to do with what's happening at that point in the show. (Workin' Boys, Santa Clause is Goin' to Highschool, The Barbeque Monologues)
The single dad who thinks he knows what’s best for his kid but is pretty misguided (Bill + Alice Woodward, Tom + Tim Houston, Solomon + Steph Lauter)
The song where everyone in town goes insane (La Dee Dah Dah Day, Feast or Famine, Hatchet Town)
Jeff Blim's commentary on something probably (America's Great Again, Made in America, Just For Once)
And now to interrupt our segment - DAN AND DONNA WITH THE HATCHETFIELD ACTION NEWS
That one CREEPY AF song that comes out of nowhere (Join Us (And Die), Do You Want to Play, The Summoning)
The “smoke club” gesture
That part of the musical where a main character almost dies but then is saved by someone appearing on stage. (Paul + McNamara, Lex + McNamara, Pete + Max)
Then there's that one character who's morality was already questionable but then they give into the eldritch gods without any supernatural coercion (Prof. Hidgens, Linda Monroe, Grace Chastity)
Those precious few seconds where you think everything is going to be alright but the apocalypse lives on
Oh, and Paul Matthews and Emma Perkins finding each other… as they always do
thinking about how in back in time, tom and becky talk about how in the infinite realities, they must have stayed together and become a family in one of them. but the thing is, it isn’t true.
because we know that emma and paul are constants. for that to happen, emma has to come back to hatchetfield. jane has to die. tom has to be driving jane and tim on christmas, so she comes back and meets paul.
tom and becky losing each other is a constant, because emma and paul finding each other is one.
Anyways, this fandom really needs to stop sleeping on the Barneston duets. "Take Me Back" is heart-breaking and gorgeous (sorry I don't make the rules), "Do You Want to Play" is so atmospheric and creepy, and Kim and Dylan sound absolutely amazing together, like what more could we ask for? Next week's lottery numbers embedded in the lyrics??
I know there's more so I'm sorry if your favorite isn't on there 😭😭 but these are sort of the main 5 in hatchetfield and I just wanted to see which ones were people's favorites
Hear me out. Lah Dee Dah Dah Day is the theme equivalent of a house filled with chintz. That is to say, Becky Barnes deserved to fuck Tom on the floor.
something something lautski barneston "hey steph? if things were different would you wanna go to homecoming with me" "tom, if you asked me, i'd still go to prom with you" au. do you see the vision
lesbian lexthan is so real and i sincerely think we need to do the same thing with every hatchetfield couple. lesbian paulkins. lesbian barneston. lesbian lautski. lesbian whatever tf linda and gerald are called. running around hatchetfield with my yurization beam.
Not mine but yeah send me some ships you guys! The fandom I'm most interested in currently is starkid (specifically Hatchetfield) so please send me some Hatchetfield ships!
Shamelessly self promoting my Max/Kyle fic that has a healthy dose of internalised homophobia and everyone but them being happy tossed in <3 best read when listening to Goodnight My Friend from Galavant - tried it, I cried more
