[friendofelphaba]

Thinking about the line in hatchet town “Singing all these songs gives him greater windows to kill, but we're singing still!” and how it implies that the song is diegetic (the characters in the story know that they’re singing). In fact, according to the lyric, they know that they’ve been singing MULTIPLE songs throughout the show. I am thinking about the implications of characters IN A HATCHETFIELD MUSICAL being AWARE that they are SINGING.

PROMISE ME YOU’LL THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS!!

NOTES FROM THE HATCHETFIELD HALLOWEEN PARTY 14th October 2023, 01:00 BST (my time!) / 13th October 2023, 17:00 PDT (their time!)

Note: These notes are at times a little nonsensical and useless and just quotes. This is because it lasted from 01:00-04:00 for me meaning I was incredibly tired. Please bear with <3

Section 1: Nerdy Prudes Must Die talkback

Started with chiptune of Feast or Famine and then chiptune of Jane’s A Car

Steph’s dad may be dead but at least she has a boyfriend <3

Joey was eating beef and potato stew for most of the first segment

When Jeff was asked for the inspiration for The Summoning: “[…] I don’t know. That just popped in my head. It could be true.”  (His answer was Wizard of Oz.)

Section 2: Hatchet Town Trivia Challenge

I tried to keep track of “chat vs cast” points but lost count and failed rather miserably

Nora’s last name is Beanie. Nora Beanie

Jeff is “an avid lover of baby-water” (water pure enough for babies to drink) and “widely known as Doctor Spreadsheets” (my notes just say “baseball game”)

Every time the world destroys, Ted dies twice: once as Ted, once as homeless guy

Lex helped deliver Hannah by teleporting her out of the womb through the Black and White

Greenpeace Girl’s name is Harmony Jones!

Wilbur Cross murdered Duke Senior (Duke Keane’s dad) this may be explored in future.

Section 3: Workin’ Boys

All of my “notes” here are just gushing about the characters. I have written nothing useful enough to be put here

Section 4: Workin’ Boys talkback

Chad was not included in WB because it was deemed that nobody could live up to the legend. This spawned the “Darren 4 Chad” movement in chat

The Workin’ Boys album will be out around next week if all goes to plan. It is 5 tracks and would include Mariah’s version of the Show Stoppin’ Number monologue as well as at least some of her singing it (as seen in the show; hoping for a full version!!)

Mariah’s character in the audience was called Woman.

Lauren’s character in the audience was Courtney, Thrash’s girlfriend from Killer Track

Paul Gabriel’s character was Paul Gabriel

Linda Monroe auditioned for Workin’ Girls and was the only one who didn’t get a part (Ruth was chosen over her). This is why she was happy to see it crash and burn

The programmes made for Workin’ Girls had very detailed bios, which hopefully when in full quality will be readable when paused. This may set up the potential for the Workin’ Girls actresses to be in future HF projects where this can be explored

Jaime will hopefully be in the next Starkid musical!!!!

The Black Book was originally supposed to debut in Workin’ Boys, in its original form in 2020

The 2020 version was planned as a feature-length film but eventually it was decided that it was confusing and remodelled.

The Summoning was supposed to be in Workin’ Boys – the producer would have tricked Hidgens into making the girls perform a ritual; it was realised that this didn’t make much sense so the song was transferred to NPMD

Section 5: The Future Of Hatchetfield

Hatchetfield was supposed to be finished by 2020

Starkid is not going to be exclusively Hatchetfield in the future; their next full-length musical will not be Hatchetfield

NMT3 is hopefully going to happen provided there is enough interest! It was supposed to happen in the same year as NMT2 but they take a long time to write (much longer than a full musical) so that couldn’t happen

NMT3 would conclude Lex and Hannah’s story after Yellow Jacket

It would be produced more face to face like a TV show – Nick said “less Zoom call-y”

It would include stories withheld from NMT1 and NMT2

It would entirely depend on how much interest, particularly views on NMT2.

It would be Halloween themed.

“More things akin to Workin’ Boys would be nice” - Nick

The episodes would be:

Bottle Imps

“Bill Woodward has been chosen to test CCRP’s latest and greatest product: Bottle Imps. These reality-bending buddies will bring their owner the one thing they desire most. When his new imp, Lovely, leads him to his soulmate, Bill decides to use his magical companion to play matchmaker. But to help Charlotte find the man of her dreams, Bill will have to bend the Imp’s rules. Rules he’s been warned, must never be broken…”

Frankenruth

“Desperate to see a naked body, Ruth Fleming and Richie Lipschitz volunteer at the morgue of St. Damian’s Hospital. Their terrible plan becomes exponentially more terrible, when they become unwitting subjects in the experiments of the body-snatching madman, Doctor Lazlo, who claims to have conquered death itself. If Hatchetfield thought Ruth was bad before, then they will cower before the unspeakable horror of… Frankenruth!”

Becky Barnes Climbed A Tree

“Becky Barnes is on top of the world! Not in a literal sense, of course. She’s deathly afraid of heights. After years of struggle, Becky’s life is finally everything she dreamed it would be. She’s engaged to her High School sweetheart, Tom Houston, and the two have a surprise baby on the way! But as the couple prepared for the arrival of Baby Marie, a shadow from Becky’s past returns to haunt them.”

Devil’s Night

“Tim Houston has a crush. Unfortunately, it’s on his older, mature, and totally cool babysitter, Grace Chasity, who he fears will never see him as anything but a snot-nosed little kid. But when a devilish maniac with murderous designs on Grace attacks Hatchetfield the night before Halloween, Tim must protect his beloved, or join the killer’s growing body count. It’s another slashing adventure on the night HE came home… Devil’s Night.”

Miss Holloween

“It’s Halloween in Hatchetfield once again, and Miss Holloway is celebrating the same way she’s done for decades, staving off the horrors that go bump in the night. But when Duke gives her an invitation to his wedding, the dejected Miss Holloway begins to chafe under the terms of a contract forged many years ago. She strikes a new bargain, but unfortunately her creditors are known for their tricks, not treats. Just as Miss Holloway gives up her powers in exchange for a mortal life, a monstrous new threat rears its ugly head. As All Hallows Eve descends, and all Hell breaks loose, Miss Holloway must save the town or die trying… for real this time.”

Orbweaver

“Lex Foster had a life once. A home. A boyfriend. Now there is only the road, and her sister, and the fear of the men who are hunting them. As Hannah Foster watches Lex sink deeper into despair, she is certain of only three things: Webby is gone. She cannot help them. They are alone. Elsewhere, an old soldier awakens from a catatonic state. Returned from some unimaginable Hell with a mission. He knows that somewhere two magical girls require immediate evac… then maybe some coffee.”

As NPMD was conceived of first, it was supposed to be a Nerdy Prudes series: Nerdy Prudes Must Die, Horny Campers Must Die… (this was turned into NMT2’s Abstinence Camp)

The next Hatchetfield full-length musical would probably be about Miss Holloway if there was enough interest.

There is the possibility of a full movie set in Hatchetfield if there is enough interest. (Workin’ Boys was like a trial for how Hatchetfield works in film)

It would be called Cast Party Massacre

“The Hatchetfield Community Players. You will never find a cattier troupe of two-faced thespians. But when the blood begins to flow at their latest show’s cast party, they must consider: is there a secret murderer in their midst? And more importantly, who amongst them is a good enough actor to pull off such a performance? Can they set aside their petty squabbles and tangled romances, or is it curtains for this ensemble? Who will survive… the Cast Party Massacre!”

It would possibly feature the girls from Workin’ Boys.

The licencing rights to TGWDLM will be available soon!

Album Tag Game!

Thanks for the tag, @sweetxvanixlla! I love you!

6 albums you've been listening to, plus one track from each that you're especially fond of

----------------------------------------------

As sommesone who doesn't quite listen to albuns, just the songs alone on a Big Playlist Of Everything, my approach tot his is: find out if I listen to more than one song from an album and pick stuff from there (half of these is musicals because. Yeah).

----------------------------------------------

SELF-ISH - Will Wood and the Tapeworms

-> Cotard's Solution (Annatta, Dukkha, Anicca)

Probably my fave song on this list and my playlist, so I had to include this! I cames to thes conclusion that I absolutely adore this album since I have so many of its songs and they are honestly so good??? :0

I have 6 songs of this album, so I guess I'm winning

The Normal Album - Will Wood and the Tapeworms

-> I / Me / Myself

This one is also too hard of a choice! I was so lost between all the 4 songs I listen constantly from this album!

And I can relate to it a bit, as someone who is constantly struggling to undertand my own gender and how I actually feel confy, but oh well. Too hard 👍

Duality - Set It Off

-> Why Worry

This is probably my favorites song from all of Set It Off and since I have 2 from this album, it counts. Don't you dare argue with me.

Heathers: The Musical (World Premiere Cast Recording)

-> Candy Store

I know all the song and coreograhies by heart. I now every line of dilogue. It was the first musical I ever saw and my favorite once and always.

Nerdy Prudes Must Die (Original Starkid Cast Recording)

- High School Is Killing Me

Pokooootho

Bliklotep...

T'noy K'raxis

Nibblelinephim

Wiggog Wighog Y'wrath

(I know its not from the right song but like. Who really cares)

Yeah I also know all the songs and lines i'm so very normal about the musical honestly I think its a masterpiece. I mean.

Score - The Jolly Rogers

-> The Day Of The Clipper

Its self explanatory if you hear the songs.

----------------------------------------------

Tags, no pressure (make it better than mine tho): @jiang-mingyi @xxluckystrike @executethyself35 @dontirrigateme @1waveshortofashipwreck @ronsenthal

#tag game #my critessria is: do I listen to more than one? #if esst that equates to the whole album even if its only 2 #thanks. #🥨🪶

[daisyishedwig]

I keep forgetting that it's ten days until we get the Nerdy Prudes Must Die cast album and I can finally understand the words to The Summoning that has been stuck in my head as a garbled mess since February.

#personal #starkid #nerdy prudes must die #hatchetfield #npmd spoilers #ish

[shaykesqueer]

Also are there any Starkid fans out here?

Nerdy Prudes Must Die cast album drops in like 3 days so I’m having a big ol’ hyperfixation week

#also this because I need max jagermans ‘it’s a skeleton’ gag for ghost purposes #starkid #nerdy prudes must die #starkid npmd

[man-down-in-hatchet-town]

hii i have a question regarding the soundtrack (btw im so sorry im sending you these asks, but idk you seem like a pro on any starkid related matter)

so.. starkid posted a link to buy and download the official soundtrack, right?

well. i found it on apple music.

is that normal? because if it isnt, then i wont listen to it from there and i'll see if i can actually buy the soundtrack..

lol no problem! I'm always happy to help, though I don't know how much help I am in this situation.

So I don't actually have Apple music, and I don't really know how it works but I'm guessing the general rule is that everything available on iTunes ends up on there? I don't know what Starkid feels about this, but its hard to imagine Nick Lang and Corey Lubowich not being aware of it.

What I will say is there is a reason it doesn't go up on Spotify for a bit, and that's to encourage people to buy the album, since purchasing it leads significantly greater profits for the cast and crew than streaming. Starkid is a really small company, and they do ultimately end up putting almost everything out there for free, so these little ways that they use to bring in money are super important to its survival as a company. And it's extra super important now, what with the strike. So if you have the money to spend, I'd absolutely try to purchase it instead. Starkid gets the money and the album also gets to climb up the charts, which might expose some new people to the show and is also just plain cool. You can find it on iTunes by searching Nerdy Prudes Must Die in the store.

(@melxody and @thatdelusionalnerd well I took one for the team and risked looking like a complete idiot by messaging Corey Lubo about it. Basically said "this might be super dumb but in case it's not here's what might be up:" and let him know what's going on. Just in case we have stumbled onto something they don't know about and don't want. No idea if he'll even see it but I'll let you guys know if he gets back to me)

#sorry if this answer took a while to come #you messaged me while I watching the proshoot #(taking a quick break because the dogs are barking their heads off at something) #nerdy prudes must die

[justabigassnerd]

hey y'all...

this is a post I've really not want to make but it's something I need to get off my chest.

so as y'all know I have the 'Hangman Junior' series on my blog, which I of course started because y'all asked for it and I had a bunch of ideas for it which really helped my motivation.

but as I plan out my next couple of fics (just because I like knowing what I'm starting after posting the fic I'm currently working on) I've realised I really do not have a lot of motivation to write for Hangman Junior. I don't want to stop writing for them but it's really hard when I don't get much interaction from said fics.

I always try to be positive and appreciate every note I get on here but it's really hard when my first Hangman Junior fic had notes like this:

but the newest one has notes like this:

(also just note the reblog to like ratio...)

maybe it's because people don't really like reading stuff like this (which is totally understandable no shame to anyone who doesn't enjoy this kind of stuff) or maybe the newer fics aren't as good as the ones that came before.

either way my motivation for Hangman Junior is taking a massive hit which scares me because I do genuinely love them and the universe it's just hard to keep the motivation when I post stuff and don't get much interaction in response. picture me just talking directly to a brick wall because that's what it can feel like sometimes.

I'll stop wallowing now and just go listen to the 'Nerdy Prudes Must Die' cast album.

much love <3

Finally I Watched “NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE”

As someone who has spent much of their adolescence watching YouTube and listening to original broadway cast albums, team starkid was the perfect intersection of my hyper fixations. Since I’ve gotten older with less time on my hand, I’ve only been a casual fan within Starkid nation.

However last Friday at 5 o’clock Eastern Standard time, Team Starkid premiered the third horror musical comedy within the so-called hatchet-verse, “Nerdy Prudes Must Die”. The chaos of midterms and rehearsals pulled me away but I had my first watch on Sunday night. I have watched bits and pieces since plus people’s compilations on YouTube.( i’l link down to them later) I have many thoughts about the show itself and some things I’ve read online and I am just gonna list them out. (Warning Slight Spoilers Ahead)

Probably my favourite musical so far out of the trilogy. I was a little underwhelmed with Black Friday when I initially and worried this wouldnt live up to TGWDLM. It is better, funnier and better paced overall. Definitely worth the watch

Angela's expressions remind me of Rachel Bloom in the best way. Her commitment to every bit is fantastic and she makes Grace Chastity.

Will Branner sounds so freaking good and plays Max’s up max’s funny and scary moments really well.. I really hope to see him again in another starkid project.

Dirty Girl is underrated and  it was my favourite song on first watch. Will and Angela mesh well, it's got this goofy sexy vibe and the second hand embarrassment I get watching this fantasy play out makes it so memorable. It kinda bummed me out to see it ranked so consistently low on other people’s rankings.  

Speaking of music, Jeff Blim knocks it out of the park and I will probably listening to the album when it hits streaming nonstop.

Steph and Pete are mad cute as the main couple within the cast of characters. 

Jon Materson is so good in this! The character Richie felt very real to me and I was so endeared to him. I did not want him to be the first to go, but Jon belting out “ I’m not a loser” go so hard.

Hatchet Town is easily in my top 3. Bryce sounded amazing in her verse annd I’m glad to see her utilized more. All the cameos were a treat for anyone who kept up with the hatchet verse lore, shows and readings,

I liked Barbecue monologues but I think Ruth’s dragged a little long. Still love Lauren Lopez as always and her voice was lovely in that scene’s solo.

Loved that Pete was confirmed as hot chocolate guy from TGWDLM. Once again, I love the lore tie-ins

“She’s bisexual and dead, where else would she is?” Is the freaking greatest one-liner in the show and I need it on a t-shirt or something. 

The Summoning is the best song in the show, Its been going on my head nonstop. I loved the costume and physical interpretations of the lords in black especially Kim’s Nibbly and Lauren’s Blinky.

Those were all the main things I wanted to share about the show and my commentary. If y’all having any theories or head cannon, I want to hear them. I will probably start posting my own after another rewatch :)

Here are the link to the show plus other people edits and thoughts of npmd that inspired this post.

#hatchetverse #hatchetfield #starkid #team starkid #nerdy prudes must die #npmd spoilers #I guess this counts as a review idk #this is mostly for myself #musicals #musical theatre #youtube

[rooolt]

📚📚📚!! I’d love to hear your fic ideas (if you’re still doing it obv)

ummm okay so I have this disease where I was a theatre kid in middle school and thus most of my music taste is still musicals and I sort it all by character playlists SO I end up think about a lot of musical aus with dndads characters because I’m sick in the head. None of these are really that thought out enough, more free association between characters so yeah. I present to you: a multitude of dndads teens musical aus

in the spirit of nerdy prudes cast album coming out in like a week, link and scary are so Steph and Peter coded it’s nuts. If you don’t know what nerdy prudes must die is, Peter Spankoffski is a nerd who has been ostracized for years due to an unfortunate incident and unflattering nickname and Stephanie Lauter is the cool girl who gets him to help her cheat on a test and then asks him to study with her. When he gets beat up, she sticks up for him and yeah, they’re so gothcleats it’s crazy, there’s even one song later in the musical that’s SOOOOO. Normal and Taylor would take the place of Ruth and Richie who are Peter’s nerdy friends (Richie is literally just Taylor and Normal in one character, he is an anime kid who is also the mascot) idk who would be grace and max, or where hermie would fit in but yeah!

then, rise of the pink ladies au, I mean there’s four of them and one of them has a theatre kid love interest come on. Link is the starry eyed new kid who gets humiliated on the first day and decides to start running for school president, scary is the prickly girl who is being manipulated by a teacher (Willy), Taylor is the big dreamer who’s kind of a wacko, and Normal is the one who doesn’t feel like he belongs anywhere and has an emotionally detached theatre kid love interest who he messes everything up with, and it’s the 50s! I’m most likely to actually write this one or something in this universe

last one, a while ago I had a gay teen beach movie au idea where scary and normal get transported into the movie and meet hermie and Erica who they get big crushes on, but oakworthy has been taking nothing but Ls recently and I’m honestly not super passionate about scerica so this one may not ever happen (also I thought of it right before stand and delivery, which kinda killed the vibe)

I hope you enjoyed these silly ramblings, I’m going to bed

#This is not even mentioning the lemonade mouth and descendants ones too #I love dcoms #dndads

All the advantages of foot massages! And that keeping an 'Affirmation Board' on notion is an extreme help. I use gallery view and I put gifs and positive quotes from my favourite media and characters to look at when I'm having a bad day. I also put techniques for coping that include pressure points, breathing techniques and tips for dealing with my sensory issues, sometimes paired with a gif of a scene that reminds me of it. Wish I'd started on it years ago but it's better late!

Favorite place you visited this year?

Just the town nearest mine. It's my favourite town!

What was the most impactful life lesson you learned?

Copy & Pasted from my Affirmation Board: "There will never not be something wrong that upsets you. Perfection is a myth. Happiness is focussing on the good despite the sadness, guilt & shame that always bubble beneath. Concentrating on, replaying or having negative feelings about what hurts won’t solve the problem or make it go away. It’s ok to let it go & not punish yourself." - Quote By Me xD. I like to give myself the illusion of control over thoughts lol but looking at this has been the most helpful thing on my affirmation board for me.
