The Hatchetfield Lore Master Doc Made by @AbiiMaryy on Twitter/Tumblr. @abbiecosplays on TikTok. All information is taken from the stories available at www.youtube.com/c/starkid as well as Nick Langs personal Twitter and interviews he’s done.

It’s done!! 12 hour of work later and the Hatchetfield Lore Master Doc has been updated to include everything from Nightmare Time Season 2
it's always "you're autistic" and never "thank you for telling me everything you know about the Hatchetfield Universe"
Vow dropped on Spotify, so I got to update my playlist that's all the songs in chronological order eek. I highly recommend listening to it in this order; it hurts SO BAD.
If you're interested, the playlist is here.
Itzal really is the only white person in his family, huh? Just based on actors, even.
Chazira’s Black, Margaret’s Latina (Cuban/Spanish/Italian/Albanian), and Dakkar’s Desi.
Almost same with the Stratfords: Mary Katharine is Black/Hawaiian, Rose is Latina and Jewish, Samuel is black, and then Cyrus is wildly gesturing at his beautiful mixed family.
Vive the art of Brandy Cinderella casting, real and true.
15 years ago...
A Fandom (then known as Wikia) user by the username Starkid-82 created the Team StarKid wiki.
Now 15 years later, the StarKid wiki is home to 2,730 pages, over 10,400 files, and is one of the best sources of information about Team StarKid on the Internet!!
THAT BEING SAID!!! The StarKid wiki is never complete; there's always work to be done and things to be improved!! We have almost 600 pages that need reformatting, new information added, or just a general tidy-up!!! If you'd be interested in getting involved in editing the StarKid wiki (no experience necessary!!) you can view the list of these pages here. There are guides here that explain how to format pages, AND I'm always *always* happy to answer questions, whether that's here on this blog OR on my message wall on the wiki!! So if you're interested, get involved! We'll always be happy to have you!
Happy 15-year anniversary, Team StarKid wiki. I love you so much.
do you think they build anything in the blazing world out of firestone
One of my favorite parts of the original Blazing World novel is the description of a church made out of firestone. It’s so cool. So I hope so
Do you guys ever think about the fact that Margaret still needs to pass her healing threshold and the implications of what will cause her to do that
I keep thinking about this line from Two Weeks and it’s double meaning and wanting to CRY
Like, of course, Rose means it as “trust them like Margaret learned to trust you again after the hoax” but GOD she doesn’t know how true that statement is.
“Trust them like she trusted you”.
Trust them and become their friend despite the fact that they’re not being completely honest with you. Trust them despite the fact that they’re intentionally keeping something from you for their own gain. Trust them even though they KNOW how important the thing they’re keeping a secret is to you and how much it would affect your life. Trust them even though you’ve known each other for two weeks now and you’d consider them your friends but they still didn’t tell you.
Happy Birthday to the twins <3
Don't mind me just crashing out about Ahlaam
Do you think she blames herself. For all of it.
She was Kal's best friend. She and Margaret and Kal were as thick as thieves (I need an interaction of them three ASAP because we barely see them together). Kal introduced Taavi, the love of her life, to Ahlaam. Kal trusted Ahlaam so much that she was the person he called to when he wanted to showcase his fog.
Ahlaam was there; not in the eye of the storm, surrounded, but so close she can feel the crackle of the lightning on her skin. She could have stopped Kal, somehow. She should have stopped him. He turned into fog right beside her and she did absolutely nothing. She watched him start that mess which destroyed their world and her first move? She went to Margaret and Sia and said they need to inform the king. Sure, that seemed like the obvious course of action at the time, but it's not like Ahlaam didn't know how Itzal was. She was there during Nobody, she is one of the closest people to the Royal Family, she is critically aware of how Chazira's tragic death affected them all. Still, she said, let's tell the king. Why didn't she think it through? Why didn't she try to help Kal herself? Why was she so... disappointing?
She is there for these ten years. Kal gets more and more secluded, delving more and more into his fog. It's not like she didn't know he's in a bad place. All the Travelers were aware of his troubles, and still she didn't prevent it. She should have. Maybe she tried to help Kal, maybe she tried to talk to him with Taavi or whatever, maybe she wanted so badly to bring back her best friend; it didn't matter anyway. She's living her life with her husband and her friends and if she tried a little harder, if she was better maybe she could have helped him. Maybe she could have prevented it all.
1829 and her world comes crashing down. Taavi has been dead for a full day; why didn't she realize it's not him? She's his wife. She is supposed to know. She grabs the Orrery, despite knowing It's precisely what got them in this mess, despite the fact that Taavi died so that no one would use those cursed, magical abominations. In a flash of events, she is dying and the world is burning; Cyrus and Mary Katherine disappear to somewhere with the second Orrery (what will they tell Samuel and Rose?), Margaret loses her memories (and suddenly Ahlaam loses both of her best friends) and there is no more Blazing World. It's a day and she loses her best friends, her home and her husband, even though the last two are one and the same.
Finally she wakes up on Lincoln Island. The last time they were there... it's different now. She wants to strike them, she wants revenge for Taavi; it's stupid and she knows it's stupid, but the grief is stuck in her throat. Another part of her breaks when Addison tells them of the broken Orrey; "the only chance to save our world" bullshit. The only chance to save Taavi. She barely has time to mourn before they need to go to New York. Rose and Samuel are so happy and it kills her; how can anyone be happy right now? And she does the most despicable act she's ever done. She tries to remain as close to fact as she can, but she has to twist and distort the truth (just like the fog, a little voice in the back of her head says, one that sounds oddly similar to virologist she once knew). If they'll ever see her again, she knows the Stratfords won't forgive her, but that's fine. She'll never forgive herself.
Fourty five years pass. She tries to keep herself occupied. She gets to know every inch of the Island. She works on the Nautilus, getting more and more familiar with what used to be Taavi's line of work. She trains and eats and sleeps. She tries not to resent Sia, who too is mourning her wife, but her spouse is coming back; she will never see Taavi again. She says goodbye to Sia in 1835, because Sia had been her friend for the past twenty years, because Sia had been her rock for these seven years. She gets to know Addison, and she actually likes her; she's a good person, a better one than Ahlaam (though that's an incredibly low bar by this point.)
December, 1874. She sees Rose once more, this time in Lincoln Island. She smiles and helps Rose to know the island; she's visibly older, even though it's only been seven years; a blink of an eye in Ahlaam's lifespan. She cries late at night because Rose has Cyrus's eyes, Mary Katherine's laugh. She embraces Sia after so long and they ponder briefly of removing the illusion from Rose's mind; they can't, they conclude, since they can't speed Margaret in crossing her thresholds. So Ahlaam pretends. She pretends Rose and Samuel are strangers, she avoids Margaret's gaze, because she knows she won't be able to lie to her best friend.
She's with Sia and Dakkar when Kal invades the Island. The Irony. A Traveler reunion. Sia and Dakkar hand out orders; even though she's the oldest, even though she's been a Traveler the longest; she doesn't mind. She's a soldier, not a general. So she goes back to the Antikythera, the same vessel she nearly died on, the same one where she saved Rose just days ago, and searches for the Orrery. It's almost funny; last time she was on the ship is was full of water, and now it's in flames. Water and fire.
And then. And fucking then.
"Ahlaam?" Says the voice. Not just a voice. His voice. She asks who is there, as if that voice hadn't haunted her dreams for the last 45 years. She's not stupid; she's exhausted and ridden with guilt but she's not stupid. She'd already been fooled once by this trick, and she knows she'll be fooled a second time. "Please, not him..." She bges, desperate. Maybe it's to herself, as she hopes she's wrong somehow; she's not; she can recognize his voice from the far reaches of the galaxy. Maybe it's for Kal, even after he tried to kill her last time she saw him, even after he murdered Taavi, even after all this time and the fog - maybe he still feels any kind of sentiment to take pity on her. Such a silly thought. She doesn't deserve pity.
The illusion is so fake it would take an idiot not to notice. "We haven’t sailed the Antikythera together in many years." They've never been on the Antikythera together. He didn't live long enough to be on the Antikythera. She doesn't care a bit. He's here, and she can feel his touch among the flames, and she can be with him once more. History doesn't repeat, it rhymes. Kal wearing the face of Taavi in order to steal an Orrery; either a cruel twist of fate, or a pointed attempt to show Ahlaam that no matter how much time has passed, she's still stuck in that moment on the Bonaventure.
Sia uses her movement in order to bring them to the Nautilus, where the situation isn't much better. Everyone are panicking, everyone are trying to do something, anything, and she can't. Can't move, can't speak, can't help. Her magic is totally drained and when she closes her eyes she sees Taavi dissolving into Kal. She watches silently is Margaret regains her memories, as Margaret Cavendish turns back into Mags, her best friend. She doesn't move when Samuel goes into the map room, because what can she even do? She just fought Kal and lost badly. Samuel is his mother's son until the bitter end, who too wished to fight Kal without any Magic Ways. She wants to cry when she realizes that Samuel will never get to remember the truth about his parents, but her eyes are cold and her mouth is dry. She wants to scream she Addison tells them how he died; the purple button. The same one she could have pressed. Samuel didn't deserve to die. She should have been the one... she should have been in that map room.
She should have died. It's all her fault anyway.
Do you guys ever think about how Top was Cyrus’ dog in the original Mysterious Island novel and how Top and Samuel had such an instant connection in Searcher and CRY? Cos I do
The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals: Reprised Digital Ticket Pay-It-Forward Scheme!!
Happy digital ticket season everyone!!
Once again, I'm running a pay-it-forward campaign for TGWDLMR, where we, as a fandom, can come together and buy digital tickets for those who might not be able to get them right now!
I'm still figuring out some of the logistics, but I'm currently doing sign-ups for the scheme! If you would like to get involved by either gifting or receiving a digital ticket, you can sign up here!
This year, I'm teaming up with my friend Steph (@inevitablekickline) to avoid some of the dollar-to-pound conversion fees I suffered last year. Once we've figured out all the details, I'll get in contact with everyone and start getting people their digital tickets! While there's no deadline to sign up, I encourage you to sign up before October 20, as that's likely when we'll start giving out the tickets!
This is a super fun way to support StarKid and their fans at the same time!! Last year, we managed to raise a total of $1410 and bought 94 digital tickets. I want to beat that this year, so I would appreciate it if you could spread the word!!
Here's the form once again:
Let’s support StarKid and our fellow fans at the same time! Please fill out the form below to get involved!
Thank you so much to everyone who’s donated to this scheme!! Thanks to your generous donations we’ve been able to give out 77 digital tickets so far!!
We’re still taking donations until digital tickets stop being available so if you’re interested in getting involved please do!
I can’t stop thinking about how bad Sia’s first day as a Traveler was…
Like, imagine you move to the big city from your little mountain town to start a new job working for the royal family because you had a vision telling you it was your destiny, and you show up for your first shift, and the Princess is MISSING, and it’s your job to find her. Then later, after you finally do find her, she runs off AGAIN to go to a party at an observatory, which you follow her to, only to find the Prince is ALSO there. And then when you finally manage to get them back to the palace, you arrive to find the King and Queen mortally wounded, and then the Queen DIES.
But hey, at least the pretty princess smiled at you, right?
Pulp Musicals is so funny cos Matt really went "awww look at these newspaper reporters lying about the moon don't you love them? Aren't they great? Anyway I'm sending them to WAR"
