ENGLAND vs CROATIA match kickoff

Bryce Pinkham and Scarlett Strallen ( voice of St Gretchen, St Clare and Emilia Vielmo in Hellaverse ) are hosting a watch party for the England vs Croatia kickoff in the 2026 World Cup season at their penthouse in New York, with their 2 kids Winifred and Wilder there too. They are cheering for the English team in that match

Amongst the friends that came over to the watch party include Josh Groban ( Ipos ), Natalie McQueen ( St Desdemona Schiaparelli ), Christian Borle, Skye Mattox, Jeremy Jordan, Ashley Spencer ( Lilith ), Mike Faist ( Salvatore Tarantella aka Arackniss ), Tilly Evans Krueger ( movement model for Emily Hamephorash and Molly ), Blake Roman, Etta Grover ( Blake's fiancée ), Sophia Ann Caruso ( voice of Molly ), and also Clara Jordan ( Jeremy and Ashley's daughter )

Clara is also the voice of kid Charlie, and she is also a good friend of Winifred and Wilder from the Trinity School Drama Club

Match Day Prep at the Pinkham-Strallen Penthouse

Bryce and Scarlett turn their Manhattan penthouse into a miniature English pub for the World Cup kickoff, balancing high-energy hosting with the chaos of a multi-family theatre reunion.

The Decor and Team Spirit

• The Living Room Turf: Bryce tapes down green painter's tape on the hardwood floor to create a mini football pitch for the kids.

• Bunting Overload: Scarlett hangs miles of red-and-white St. George’s Cross bunting across the terrace doors, ensuring the English pride is unmistakable.

• The Jersey Compromise: Winifred and Wilder wear custom England kits. Bryce tries to teach them standard football chants, but the kids end up singing them in operatic, Broadway-style vibrato instead.

Pre-Party Kitchen Chaos

• Traditional Grub: Scarlett handles the British classics, baking dozens of sausage rolls and prepping proper English scones with clotted cream.The Thematic Cocktails: Bryce creates a signature cocktail menu behind the bar. The star drink is a Pimm's Cup twist named "The Hellaverse Kick," a playful nod to their shared voice-acting universe

• .The Arrival Timeline: Because theatre folk run on zero schedule discipline, Jeremy Jordan and Ashley Spencer arrive a full hour early, while Josh Groban texts that he is "running late because of traffic" but is actually just finishing a vocal warmup.

Kid Drama Club Takeover

• The Green Room: Winifred, Wilder, and Clara Jordan immediately claim the master bedroom as their "VIP Green Room."

• Charlie's Rehearsal: Clara, using her best kid-Charlie voice, leads Winifred and Wilder in directing a mini-musical about the England national team.

• The Snack Ransom: The trio refuses to come out for the match kickoff until Christian Borle agrees to deliver a platter of Scarlett's sausage rolls directly to their bedroom door.

The Ultimate Cast Setup

• The Couch Hierarchy: Mike Faist arrives early to claim the most comfortable armchair, entirely indifferent to the football match but highly invested in the snack layout.

• Engaged Bliss: Blake Roman and Etta Grover spend the pre-match hour helping Scarlett set out the grazing boards, using the time to sneakily ask Natalie McQueen for wedding planning advice

• .Tech Support: Jeremy Jordan and Skye Mattox end up fixing Bryce’s temperamental projector system just ten minutes before broadcasting begins, saved only by Tilly Evans Krueger physically acting out where the cables need to go.

Sarah Brightman is the voice of Queen Amethyst

And she and the rest of the London Hellaverse crew contigent in the London Hellaverse lofts are also hosting a massive watch party with a number of HOTD and Bridgerton cast members to cheer for the English team in the big match

Amongst the London Hellaverse crew contigent include - David Tennant ( Malcolm III of Scotland ), Georgia Tennant ( Margaret of Wessex ), Jack Davenport ( Dante Alighieri ), Michelle Gomez ( Beatrice Portinari ), Jeremy Irons ( St Augustine/Rodrigo Borgia ), Sinead Cusack ( St Brigid/Vannozza dei Cattanei ) and a bunch of other RSC and West End folks

High-Drama Match Prep at the London Lofts

Across the Atlantic, the London Hellaverse studio lofts are transformed into a high-energy, aristocratic viewing arena. The West End elite, Shakespearean royalty, and the stars of House of the Dragon and Bridgerton collide for a massive, fiercely patriotic kickoff party.

The Atmosphere and Regal Styling

• The Velvet Revolution: Sarah Brightman directs the setup, draping the loft's industrial beams in rich, jewel-toned velvets. The space feels half-sports bar, half-operatic royal court.

• The Sound of Victory: Instead of typical football stadium sirens, Sarah tests the loft’s massive sound system by blasting her iconic high notes over the pre-match television punditry.

• The Dress Code: The Bridgerton and House of the Dragon casts arrive wearing high-fashion hybrid outfits. Think replica England football jerseys paired with custom linen trousers and regency-era tailored jackets.

The Host Contingent in Action

• The Hostess with the Mostest: Sarah Brightman glides through the lofts serving high-end Pimm's punch out of a crystal bowl, maintaining her effortless Queen Amethyst aura even while holding a plastic vuvuzela.

• The Strallen Sisterhood: Sandy Strallen, Cherida Langford, and Scarlett’s sisters take over the main balcony. They spent the morning on FaceTime with Scarlett in New York, comparing their party spreads and placing friendly bets on which continent's party will get louder

• .The Academic Debaters: Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack claim a corner of the kitchen. Instead of talking tactics, they hold court with the Bridgerton cast, debating the historical parallels between modern football fandom and medieval tournament rivalries.

The Chaos Creators

• The Technical Meltdown: David Tennant and Georgia Tennant arrive early to find the main projector flickering. David immediately goes into a high-energy panic, frantically checking HDMI cables while Georgia calmly bypasses him to set up a backup screen on a laptop.

• The Commentary Duo: Jack Davenport and Michelle Gomez stake out the prime seats on the central leather sofa. Michelle starts practicing throwing playful, villainous shade at the opposing Croatian team in her best Beatrice Portinari voice, much to the delight of the House of the Dragon stars

• .The RSC Takeover: A group of Royal Shakespeare Company actors arrive with faces painted with the St. George's Cross, immediately turning a simple football chant into a booming, three-part harmony that echoes through the entire loft complex.

In Belfast, a number of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms cast members gathered at the AKTOSK set lofts in Belfast to host a watch party to cheer for England for the big match

With their confidence boosted because of Scotland's premier win against Haiti earlier this week, the AKTOSK crew donned themselves in beautiful war paint

War Paint and Westerosi Energy at the Belfast Lofts

Fresh off the adrenaline of Scotland's premier victory against Haiti earlier in the week, confidence is sky-high at the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (AKOTSK) set lofts in Belfast. The cast and crew trade the chivalry of the Seven Kingdoms for fierce football fandom, turning their pre-match preparation into a literal battle assembly.

The War Paint and Wardrobe Assembly

• The Painting Station: The makeup department leaves out leftover prosthetic mirrors and body paints. The cast takes turns painting intricate, warrior-style St. George’s Crosses across their faces, blending medieval battle markings with modern football flair

• .Armored Fandom: Several actors layer their official England football kits directly over their leather under-armor costuming. The look is entirely chaotic—part modern athlete, part hedge knight ready for a tourney.

• The Scottish Bragging Rights: Cast members with Scottish roots or connections strut around the loft, wearing Scotland flags as capes. They spend the entire pre-game reminding everyone that Scotland's win over Haiti set the perfect winning tone for the UK teams this week.

The Loft Transformation

• The Great Hall Makeover: The main lounge of the Belfast set loft is rearranged to look like a Westerosi feast hall. Long wooden tables are pushed to the sides to clear a massive "mosh pit" zone directly in front of the largest projector screen.

• The Props Hijack: A few background actors jokingly raid the props department, bringing up blunt training swords and shields to bang together whenever the pre-match television coverage shows the England team walking out of the tunnel.

• The Tactical Map: Someone draws a massive football pitch on a Westerosi chalkboard map, using miniature painted knight figurines as the England and Croatia starting lineups to debate the strategy.

Kitchen Rations and Match Tactics

• The Feast Layout: The catering crew sets up a massive spread. Instead of delicate West End finger foods, this party is fueled by heavy Belfast pub rations: mountains of Irish spice bags, cocktail sausages, and local meat pies to keep the energy up.

• The Hype Crew: The younger squires and knights in the cast take charge of the playlist. They blast high-energy stadium anthems through a portable speaker, completely drowning out the television pre-show until minutes before kickoff.

• The Final Rally: Just before the broadcast starts, the lead actors call for silence. They deliver a booming, dramatic, faux-medieval locker-room speech to inspire the room, treating the match against Croatia like a life-or-death battle for the crown.

Tom Holland, Zendaya, Tom Hiddleston, Zawe Ashton, Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter came over from the Avenger Doomsday set lofts to join the London Hellaverse studio lofts watch party

Benedict and Sophie brought along their 3 sons - Christopher aka ' Kit ', Harrison aka ' Hal ' and Finley aka ' Finn ', and Tom Hiddleston and Zawe brought their 2 children - Eleanor aka ' Ellie ' and Percival aka ' Percy '

Harrison ' Haz ' Osterfield and Gracie James also show up too

The Marvel and West End Convergence at the London Lofts

The arrival of the Avengers: Doomsday contingent transforms the London Hellaverse studio lofts into an absolute powerhouse of British talent and high-energy family chaos, just in time for the anthems.

The Grand Entrance and Kids' Takeover

• The Stroller Convoy: Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton lead the pack, navigating the loft elevators with baby Percival ("Percy") in a carrier and toddler Eleanor ("Ellie") riding high on Tom's shoulders, wearing a tiny England jersey.

• The Cumberbatch Crew: Benedict and Sophie Hunter follow closely with Kit, Hal, and Finn. The three boys immediately spot Sarah Brightman’s grand loft space and treat the polished floors like a premier league training ground, sliding on their knees in celebration.

• The Cool Aunt and Uncle: Tom Holland and Zendaya arrive flanking the Cumberbatch boys. Tom immediately drops his gear to challenge Kit and Hal to a living room penalty shootout, while Zendaya carries the snack bags and greets Sarah Brightman with a massive hug.

Logistics and Wardrobe Adjustments

• Set-to-Loft Wardrobe: Haz Osterfield and Gracie James arrive straight from the production trucks, still sporting their casual set wear but holding a massive bag of face paints and England flags they grabbed on the way.

• The Marvel-Hellaverse Exchange: Tom Hiddleston immediately strikes up an intellectual conversation with Jeremy Irons and Michelle Gomez about the intersection of classical theater and voice acting, while Zawe Ashton coordinates the nursery corner with Georgia Tennant.

• Zendaya’s Football Crash Course: While Tom Holland is passionately explaining the England midfield tactics to anyone who will listen, Zendaya takes a seat next to Sophie Hunter and Michelle Gomez, offering dry, hilarious commentary on how intensely serious British football fans get.

Setting Up the Ultimate Viewing Zone

• The Kids' Front Row: Benedict Cumberbatch and David Tennant team up to drag a massive velvet sofa right to the front of the projector screen, arranging a "kids-only" zone for Kit, Hal, Finn, Ellie, and the younger guests so they have an unobstructed view.

• The Snack Contribution: Sophie Hunter unpacks gourmet snacks she brought along, which are instantly intercepted by the hungry Cumberbatch boys and Haz Osterfield before they can even make it to the main kitchen island.

• The Anthem Rehearsal: Minutes before kickoff, as the stadium broadcast begins, Tom Holland convinces Benedict and Tom Hiddleston to join the Royal Shakespeare Company actors in the room for a booming, dramatic rendition of the national anthem, setting a legendary tone for the match.

EWAN/ISABELLA NIGHT BEFORE GATE

A Cozy Night In Before the Storm

While the rest of London scrambles to prepare for the massive watch parties, Ewan Mitchell and Isabella Wei spend the night before the big match completely wrapped up in each other in their quiet London penthouse.

Cuddles and Soccer Memes

• The Scrolling Session: Propped up against a mountain of pillows, Ewan has one arm securely wrapped around Isabella. She controls the phone, scrolling through TikTok and Weibo to show him the latest viral 2026 World Cup memes, making them both burst into late-night giggles.

• The Soap Opera Analogy: When Ewan starts breaking down England's tactical midfield line-up, Isabella playfully cuts him off. She reminds him that back in China, most Chinese folks treat the World Cup season like a massive, high-budget international soap opera filled with drama, tears, and beautiful people.

• Pure Adoration: Even though she jokes about the melodrama of it all, Isabella rests her chin on his chest, completely captivated by the rare, unbridled passion in Ewan’s eyes and voice as he talks about the beautiful game.

Late-Night Tactical Talks

• The Football Expert: Ewan gets incredibly animated, using his free hand to trace player positions and runs on the duvet cover, explaining exactly how England needs to shut down Croatia's veteran midfield

• .The Perfect Audience: Isabella doesn't mind the sports lecture at all. She listens intently, softly running her fingers through his hair and kissing his jawline whenever he takes a breath between explaining formatting formations.

• The Jersey Selection: A pile of freshly delivered England jerseys is sitting on the armchair across the room. Ewan keeps glancing over, already debating which one he should wear to the London lofts to bring the team the best luck.

Prepping for the Chaos Ahead

• Resting Before the Royalty: They both acknowledge how intensely chaotic the London Hellaverse loft party is going to be tomorrow, especially with the Avengers cast joining the House of the Dragon and Bridgerton royalty.

• The Inside Joke: Isabella jokes that Ewan needs to save his voice tonight so he can properly compete with David Tennant and Tom Holland's shouting during the match tomorrow

• .Drifting Off: Eventually, the football talk winds down into comfortable silence. They turn off the bedside lamp, completely content to stay tangled up together, enjoying the quiet calm before the absolute storm of match day.

The match ended in 4- 2 victory of England against Croatia

NYC WATCH PARTY CHAOS

The Final Whistle Echoes Through Manhattan

The referee blows the whistle, sealing a thrilling 4-2 victory for England over Croatia [sports]. Instantly, the Pinkham-Strallen penthouse erupts into absolute, unfiltered theater-district bedlam.

The Living Room Eruption

• The Jumping Hosts: The second the final whistle sounds, Bryce and Scarlett completely lose it. They lock eyes, screaming at the top of their lungs, before slamming into a massive hug. They bounce up and down so hard on the living room rug that they nearly knock over the Pimm's display table.

• The Groban Outburst: Josh Groban's usual polite composure evaporates instantly. Fueled by 90 minutes of pure tension, he lets out a booming, operatic roar, grabs a laughing Natalie McQueen by the shoulders, and aggressively kisses her all over her face, leaving her blushing and crying tears of joy.

• The Broadway Duet: Jeremy Jordan and Ashley Spencer treat the living room like a sold-out stadium. They instantly belt out a perfectly harmonized, deafening rendition of "Three Lions" at the top of their lungs, completely drowning out the television post-match commentary.

The Romantic Dip and Kid Reactions

• The Showstopper Kiss: Christian Borle decides to add some classic Hollywood flair to the celebration. He grabs Skye Mattox by the waist, dips her low over the green painter's tape "pitch" on the floor, and kisses her hard on the lips.

• The Giggling Crowd: The entire room breaks out into a chorus of cheers, whistles, and deep laughter at Christian's dramatic display, with Mike Faist loudly wolf-whistling from his designated armchair.

• The Shielded Eyes: Right in the middle of the chaos, little Clara Jordan lets out a dramatic gasp, immediately clapping both of her hands over her eyes to block out the adult romance. Winifred and Wilder follow her lead, peeking through their fingers and giggling hysterically.

The Aftermath Clean-Up and Glory

• The Victory Laps: Winifred, Wilder, and Clara immediately break out of their "Green Room" to run victory laps around the sofa, waving their mini England flags while Blake Roman and Etta Grover shower them with handfuls of leftover red-and-white confetti.

• The Post-Match Analysis: Once the initial screaming dies down, Bryce pours a fresh round of "Hellaverse Kicks." He joins a ecstatic Tilly Evans Krueger to break down England's brilliant four goals, while Ashley and Jeremy try to convince a blindfolded Clara that it is safe to look again.

───

In the London Hellaverse studio lofts, things are just in sheer madness

Sheer Madness at the London Lofts

The final whistle sounds, cementing England’s spectacular 4-2 victory, and the London Hellaverse studio lofts completely collapse into a state of glorious, theatrical pandemonium.

The Mid-Match Tension and War Paint Rivalry

• The Shakespearean Roar: Throughout the match, every near-miss and tactical foul draws a booming, menacing roar from Jeremy Irons. He instinctively channels his iconic Scar voice, sending playful shivers down the spines of the younger Bridgerton stars every time England attacks.

• The Westerosi Face-Off: The loft is visually split by a fierce but friendly battle of war paint. Ewan Mitchell, Isabella Wei, and the Team Green actors look formidable in emerald-and-gold Hightower-themed markings. Across the room, Harry Collett, Jess Platt, and the Team Black contingent sport fierce red-and-black Targaryen dragon scales

• .The Kinetic Energy: Tom Holland spends the entire second half unable to sit down. He paces the front row, jumping up and down with every transition, while even the most classically trained, composed West End actors find themselves aggressively (but lovingly) trash-talking the Croatian television feed.

The Whistle Blows: Operatic and Royal Eruption

• The Sovereign Note: The exact second the match ends, Sarah Brightman releases a breathtaking, celebratory operatic high note that cuts right through the deafening screams of the loft, crowning the victory in true Queen Amethyst fashion

• .The Strallen Jubilee: Sandy Strallen and Cherida Langford lock arms instantly. They jump up and down in perfect sync, screaming so loud they completely lose their voices within the first thirty seconds of the post-match celebration.

• The Tarzan Victory Lap: Tom Glynn-Carney loses all composure. He takes off sprinting across the polished studio floor, hits the deck for a dramatic knee-slide, and lets out a roaring, bare-chested Tarzan yell that leaves Lottie Amor absolutely howling with laughter

Romance, Lipstick, and Tattered Jerseys

• The Green Team Embrace: Ewan Mitchell doesn't hesitate. He wraps his arms tightly around Isabella Wei’s waist, pulling her flush against him for a passionate, cinematic French kiss. Watching the romantic display, little Eleanor ("Ellie") Hiddleston makes a hilarious face of pure toddler disgust and slaps her hands over her eyes, making Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton burst out laughing.

• The Borgia Mark: Swept up in the adrenaline, Sinead Cusack grabs Jeremy Irons by the cheeks and affectionately plants kisses all over his face. When she pulls away, the sophisticated actor is left standing proudly with a collection of bright red lipstick marks scattered across his jawline

• .The Regency Strip: The Bridgerton contingent takes the celebration to a whole new level. Jonathan Bailey jumps onto a coffee table, using his booming stage presence to lead the entire room in a deafening chant of "We Are the Champions." Driven by pure hype, Luke Newton rips his England jersey clean off his back, swinging it wildly over his head like a helicopter, causing Antonia Roumelioti to guffaw uncontrollably at the sheer absurdity of it all.

In the Belfast watch party, things are just as wild

Chivalric Chaos at the Belfast Lofts

The final whistle sounds to secure England's thrilling 4-2 victory [sports], and the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (AKOTSK) set loft in Belfast completely erupts. The warrior energy of Westeros transforms into pure, unadulterated football hysteria.

The Mid-Match Hype and Running Commentaries

• The Master of Ceremonies: Daniel Ings channels his inner Lyonel Baratheon all night. He stands on a heavy wooden bench, using his booming voice to lead the room in non-stop, roaring stadium chants that shake the loft windows.

• The Howling Knight: Peter Claffey spends the entire second half pacing the floor. Every time England attacks the Croatian box, he lets out a booming, guttural howl that echoes through the corridors, matching the sheer intensity of his character on set

• .The Commentary Booth: Over by the snack bar, a hilarious trifecta forms. Melissa Hawthorne brings her sharp, structured perspective as a teacher, Allison McGinn breaks down the players' dramatic facial expressions with her makeup-artist eye, and Tanzyn Crawford injects pure, dry Australian wit, offering a hilarious outside perspective on the intensity of British football fans.

• The Hype Duo: Henry Ashton and Emily Rose Best stake out the front row by the projector. They spend the entire 90 minutes waving massive St. George's flags, jumping up to cheer at every successful tackle and tactical pass.

The Final Whistle: Pure Westerosi Hysteria

• The Storm's End Spin: The exact second the referee blows the final whistle, Daniel Ings lets out a victory shout. He grabs Melissa by the waist, lifts her completely off her feet, and starts spinning her around the living room. Their two sons absolutely guffaw with laughter, watching their parents whirl around the loft.

• The Makeup Magic Kiss: Peter Claffey loses all restraint when the win is sealed. He scoops Allison into his arms and affectionately kisses her all over her face, leaving her laughing and breathless amid the chaos

• .The Shielded Eyes: Right on cue, their young daughter, Holly, lets out a dramatic gasp at her parents' romantic display. She firmly claps both of her hands over her eyes, refusing to watch the mushy celebration, which only makes Henry and Emily laugh harder

.Total Meltdown: The rest of the cast and production crew completely descend into hysteria. People are banging prop shields together, spilling local Irish meat pies, and dancing around the Westerosi chalkboard map in celebration of the massive 4-2 win

Pretty soon, photos and videos of the 3 watch parties are posted on social media, inspiring a bunch of fanart and memes

ASOIAF fans on that

@westeros_updates

THE BELFAST LOFTS ARE GONE. DEAD. REPLICATED INTO DUST. Daniel Ings (Lyonel Baratheon) was literally spinning his wife around while their kids guffawed, and Peter Claffey was howling like a direwolf. Look at Holly covering her eyes!!! 😭 [Attached Video: 0:15 of Peter Claffey kissing Allison McGinn all over her face while a little girl dramatically shields her eyes in front of a Westerosi map]

@hellaverse_hoard

Replying to @westeros_updates:

You think THAT’S wild?? Did you see the London Hellaverse lofts stream?! Sarah Brightman belted a literal Queen Amethyst high note when the 4th goal went in, and in the background, Luke Newton (Bridgerton) literally RIPPED HIS JERSEY OFF and started swinging it like a helicopter. Jonathan Bailey was leading 'We Are the Champions' on a coffee table. It’s an asylum.

@hightower_hype

Can we talk about Ewan Mitchell and Isabella Wei wearing matching Team Green Hightower war paint just because?! And then the final whistle blows and Ewan just pulls her in by the waist for a full-on cinematic French kiss? Eleanor Hiddleston covering her eyes in the background is the new universal reaction meme.

@targaryen_loyalist

Replying to @hightower_hype:

The Team Black vs Team Green war paint battle in the middle of a London studio loft during an England match is the closest we will ever get to the actual Dance of the Dragons. Harry Collett and Tom Glynn-Carney were literally trash-talking across the sofa. Then Tom did a knee-slide and roared like Tarzan. Lottie Amor was losing her mind laughing at him 💀

The fanart community was already working at superhuman speeds. By hour two, a prominent fan artist posted a stylized digital drawing that immediately went viral. It depicted a split screen: on the left, little Clara Jordan in New York shielding her eyes from Christian Borle dipping Skye Mattox; in the middle, Ellie Hiddleston shielding her eyes from Ewan and Isabella; and on the right, Holly Claffey doing the exact same thing to Peter and Allison.

The caption read: "The Holy Trinity of Kids Disgusted by Match-Day Romance."

@broadway_babe

The NYC penthouse content is so wholesome but chaotic. Jeremy Jordan and Ashley Spencer belt-singing 'Three Lions' at the top of their lungs while Josh Groban absolutely loses his mind and kisses Natalie McQueen all over her face. Theater people are not real.

@maester_text

I am crying at Jeremy Irons. He was roaring in his Scar voice during the tense moments, and now Sinead Cusack has kissed him so much he’s just standing there covered in bright red lipstick marks while trying to look sophisticated next to Benedict Cumberbatch.

@westerosi_academic

The real MVP is Isabella Wei’s quote from the night before that leaked on her story: "Chinese folks see the World Cup as an international soap opera." She was so right. This entire night has been a multi-fandom, multi-franchise telenovela and I hope England wins every match if it means we get this much chaos.

As the night deepened into the early hours of the morning, the memes only evolved. Pictures of Luke Newton's discarded jersey were photoshopped onto the Iron Throne. TikToks surfaced of Tom Holland jumping up and down in the front row, synced perfectly to the beat of Westerosi battle drums.

For the ASOIAF and Hellaverse fandoms, the 4-2 victory against Croatia wasn't just a win for England—it was the ultimate goldmine of internet history, immortalized in war paint, theater vocals, and the collective embarrassment of three very relatable children.

The Next-Day Digital Hangover

By 11:00 AM the morning after England's 4-2 victory, three separate production sets across two continents were running entirely on caffeine, leftover adrenaline, and an absolute avalanche of group chat notifications.

📱 GROUP CHAT: Divine and Infernal Comedies (Hellaverse Cast)

Bryce Pinkham: Has anyone checked on Josh Groban? I don’t think his feet have touched the ground since the fourth goal.

Natalie McQueen: I am currently scrubbing his excitement off my face. Pretty sure I have foundation stains from him on three different throw pillows, Scarlett.

Scarlett Strallen: Completely worth it! My living room looks like a St. George’s Cross confetti bomb went off. The kids are currently using the painter's tape pitch on the floor to perform a full three-act musical about the match. Clara is directing.

Jeremy Jordan: Clara told me this morning that she is 'scarred for life' because of Christian dipping Skye. 🤣

Christian Borle: Tell her it was a historic theatrical choice, Jeremy!

Sarah Brightman: If Clara thinks that was dramatic, she should have seen our loft. Jonathan Bailey was standing on my antique coffee table leading a stadium chant while Luke Newton actively destroyed his own wardrobe.

Michelle Gomez: It was poetry in motion. My ears are still ringing from Sarah’s high note. Pretty sure she cracked a window pane during the VAR check.

Jeremy Irons: I am merely grateful the lipstick marks have finally faded. Sinead’s celebratory enthusiasm has left me looking like a abstract painting.

📱 GROUP CHAT: Dragons and Towers (House of the Dragon Cast)

Tom Glynn-Carney: Someone please tell me there is no footage of my knee-slide. My knees are literally black and blue this morning.

Lottie Amor: Oh, there’s footage, Tom. It’s currently on Twitter synced to a literal Tarzan soundtrack with 2 million views. You look majestic.

Harry Collett: The real tragedy is the Team Black war paint. It took me forty minutes in the shower to get the dragon scales off my forehead. I showed up to set looking like a sunburned lizard.

Ewan Mitchell: Green paint came off fine. Superior house, superior pigment.

Isabella Wei: Ewan, please stop bragging. You spent ten minutes panicking this morning because Ellie Hiddleston’s disgusted face when you kissed me is officially the number one trending meme on Weibo.

Tom Glynn-Carney: @Ewan Mitchell Local hero. Shaking up international social media one match at a time.

📱 GROUP CHAT: Tea and Crumpets Cotillion (Bridgerton Cast)

Antonia Roumelioti: Is anyone going to check on Luke? Or is he still wandering around London without a shirt?

Luke Newton: I got caught up in the spirit of the game! The adrenaline took over! 😭

Jonathan Bailey: Caught up? Mate, you ripped that jersey like you were auditioning for a superhero movie. The coffee table survived my boots, but your shirt did not survive the 90th minute.

Nicola Coughlan: I wasn’t even at the loft and my entire feed is just Luke’s flying jersey. Truly a proud day for the Ton.

📱 GROUP CHAT: Shields and Swords Gang (AKOTSK Cast)

Peter Claffey: My throat is entirely gone. I cannot howl today. The director is going to murder me.

Daniel Ings: Worth it! Spinning Melissa around nearly threw my back out, but that fourth goal demanded physical violence.

Henry Ashton: @Peter Claffey Allison’s face makeup was flawless until you attacked her with victory kisses. Holly told Emily this morning that she’s never letting you two sit next to each other during sports again.

Tanzyn Crawford: As an Australian, I need you all to know that watching British people react to a football win is the most terrifying and hilarious cultural experience of my life. You people are feral.

Emily Rose Best: Feral and victorious, Tanzyn! Feral and victorious! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

🌐 The Transatlantic Cross-Post

An hour later, a massive multi-platform link was shared across all four chats. Tom Holland had compiled a massive video edit of the night.

The video began with Bryce and Scarlett jumping in New York, smashed cut to Luke Newton swinging his jersey on a coffee table in London while Sarah Brightman belted in the background, and ended with Peter Claffey howling in Belfast while little Holly Claffey, Ellie Hiddleston, and Clara Jordan were edited side-by-side, all covering their eyes in unison.

The caption, posted publicly by Tom, read: “England wins 4-2. The kids lose, but football wins.”

Within minutes, the notification count across all four group chats exploded all over again.

There are a number of fanart and memes inspired by the watch parties, including:

. Ipos grabbing St Desdemona Schiaparelli and kissed her all over the face, while their son, Prince Veritos of Purgatory ( who is voiced by Aaron Tveit ) just guffawed

. A fanart of a Yi Tish princess ( modeled on Isabella Wei ) watching with amusement as Aemond and the rest of Team Green are in hysterics over that soccer match

. A meme video of Anthony, Benedict and Colin going, in a photo, ' We are respectable gentlemen of the Ton ', and it cuts to a number of their ' shameless ' acts in the Bridgerton show....and then getting hysterical over that soccer match

. Queen Amethyst singing over the match win as Paimon ( voiced by Jonathan Freeman ), Ozzie, Mephisto ( voiced by James Woods ), and Andromeda ( voiced by Marla Mindelle ) all cheer via high octane singing.

. Vox dramatically dips Valentino in a French Kiss as Velvette laughs and records it on video camera

. Sir Pentious abandoning all ' gentlemanly poise ' and swings his soccer jersey and screaming, causing Cherri Bomb to guffaw

And that is just some of it

A number of celebrities liked those fanart posts and some left behind amused comments and emojis

@sinners_and_saints

THE ANIMATORS ARE WORKING FASTER THAN THE ENGLAND MIDFIELD. Look at this piece of Ipos grabbing St. Desdemona Schiaparelli and kissing her all over her face, while Prince Veritos (literally drawn exactly like Aaron Tveit) is just in the background guffawing his lungs out. I am screaming. 😭

@hightower_historian

The crossover we didn’t know we needed: A gorgeous fanart of a Yi Tish princess (modeled entirely on Isabella Wei) just sipping tea with pure amusement while Aemond Targaryen and the rest of Team Green are in absolute, unhinged hysterics over a modern football match. Ewan Mitchell's character having a meltdown over sports is canon now, sorry I don't make the rules.

Replying to @hightower_historian:

Isabella Wei posted on her story: "Literally me the entire night. Soap opera energy achieved."

By afternoon, the video edits started dropping. One particular TikTok edit was cross-posted to Twitter and instantly hit five million views.

@ton_gossip_99

The Bridgerton fandom has officially lost its collective mind and I am here for it. [Attached Video: A meme video starting with a stately portrait of Anthony, Benedict, and Colin Bridgerton with the text 'We are respectable gentlemen of the Ton.' It dramatically cuts to a rapid-fire montage of their most scandalous acts from the show... before smash-cutting to the real-life footage of Luke Newton tearing off his jersey and swinging it like a helicopter while Jonathan Bailey screams on a coffee table.]

@luke_newton_stan

Replying to @ton_gossip_99:

Luke Newton commented: "I can only apologize to the Viscount for the lack of decorum. 🫣🤣"

Jonathan Bailey replied: "No regrets. The Ton stands with the Three Lions."

The Hellaverse voice actor parallels were drawing the biggest crowd engagement, especially when the legendary voices got involved.

@voxgram_official

I am losing my mind at this animatic. It’s Queen Amethyst (Sarah Brightman) hitting a literal glass-shattering opera note over the win while Paimon, Ozzie, Mephisto, and Andromeda join in for a high-octane, theatrical vocal battle.

@marla_mindelle_fan

Replying to @voxgram_official:

James Woods (Mephisto) left a comment: "High octane? That's just a Tuesday warmup, kid."

Marla Mindelle (Andromeda) added: "My vocal cords are still recovering from the third goal."

@Vee_Tower_Leaks

The Vees fanart is going viral on every platform. It's Vox dramatically dipping Valentino into a full-on, aggressive French kiss to celebrate the win while Velvette is just howling with laughter, recording the entire thing on her phone for the internet. The artists really took the Ewan/Isabella real-life kiss video and said 'Yep, that's them.' 😭💀

NOT THE SIR PENTIOUS ONE. Someone drew Pentious completely abandoning his 'gentlemanly poise,' ripping off his Victorian jersey, and swinging it over his head while screaming at the top of his lungs, causing Cherri Bomb to absolutely guffaw in the background. Christian Borle and Luke Newton's combined energy has possessed the snake man.

As the trending topics continued to cycle, the lines between Broadway, Westeros, Mayfair, and the Hellaverse blurred into one giant, celebratory community. The fans had taken a 4-2 football victory and turned it into the ultimate crossover event of 2026, certified by the very actors who started the chaos.

In London, Tom Holland's parents and 3 brothers occupied a local London pub with a couple of friends, and they are just as loud in their cheering as they watch the match on the pub TV

LONDON FANS ON THAT

@southlondon_sam

Bro I am literally at my local pub in Kingston and Tom Holland’s entire family is three tables over. His dad Dominic is currently standing on a stool giving a tactical lecture to the bartender, and the twins are leading the whole pub in a chant. The DNA does not lie, they are FERAL. 😭😭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Replying to @padster_updates:

Paddy is currently swinging his England scarf around his head like a helicopter every time we get a corner. Nikki Holland is just sitting there sipping a gin and tonic, looking at her sons like she’s completely given up on controlling them. It’s beautiful

When the final whistle blew to lock in the 4-2 victory [sports], the pub erupted into an absolute sea of flying beer pints, sticky floors, and deafening cheers. A video clip captured by a fan from across the bar instantly caught fire on the timeline.

@holland_hype_96

THE HOLLAND BROTHERS AFTER THE FOURTH GOAL IS A RENAISSANCE PAINTING. Harry and Sam are literally screaming into each other's faces, Paddy is on someone’s shoulders, and Dominic is hugging a random stranger. Look at the chaos!!! [Attached Video: 0:22 of pure pub pandemonium. The Holland brothers are jumping in a massive huddle, beer foam flying everywhere, completely losing their minds as the pub TV blasts the post-match celebration.]

@kingston_clover

I’ve lived in Kingston my whole life and seeing Dominic Holland almost drop his pint out of sheer anxiety during the 85th minute is the most relatable thing I’ve ever seen. The whole pub was just riding the wave with them. Nikki is a saint for surviving a house full of boys.

By midnight, the fans began juxtaposing the two different Holland watch parties, creating side-by-side meme comparisons that perfectly captured the duality of a match-day victory.

@marvel_menace

The contrast tonight is killing me.

Left: Tom Holland jumping up and down on a pristine velvet sofa in a multi-million pound studio loft next to Benedict Cumberbatch and Sarah Brightman.

Right: His brothers covered in spilled lager, screaming at a pub TV screen in South London.

Two sides of the same coin. Both completely unhinged. 💀

Zendaya replied: "Can confirm, the loft version wasn’t any quieter. I had to protect the snacks from Tom."

@dominic_comedy_fan

Dominic is definitely going to write a hilarious blog post or stand-up bit about this. Imagine surviving four sons just for them to nearly wreck the local pub because of a World Cup kickoff. Absolute legends, the lot of them.

───

As the pub finally began to clear out into the cool London night, local fans were still tweeting about the encounter. For the neighborhood regulars, the massive 4-2 win against Croatia wasn’t just a victory on the pitch—it was the night the Holland family turned their local into a stadium terrace, leaving behind a legacy of spilled pints and absolute match-day glory.

At Gordon Ramsay's house in London, Gordon and Tana Ramsay, and their 5 kids and a couple of friends are just as wild in their own watch party of the match

By 1:00 AM, the memes hit the inevitable crossover stage, pairing Gordon's legendary temper with England’s triumphant 4-2 performance.

@hotd_and_hellaverse

The holy trinity of unhinged London watch parties tonight:

1. Tom Holland’s brothers getting covered in spilled lager at a Kingston pub.

2. Luke Newton ripping his jersey off at Sarah Brightman’s studio loft.

3. Gordon Ramsay screaming "IT'S RAW PASSION" into a television screen while his family goes into absolute hysteria.

We are blessed.@gordon_stans

I am crying at Megan's Instagram story. She captured the exact moment Gordon and Tana started doing a victory dance in the kitchen while Oscar was running around waving a giant England flag like a broadsword. The sheer chaotic energy in that household must be exhausting but so much fun.

───

As the celebratory dust settled on London, the Ramsay family’s high-octane watch party secured its place in World Cup internet history. For the fans scrolling through Twitter in the early hours of the morning, Gordon hadn’t just cheered for the national team—he had brought the exact same fiery, unfiltered masterpiece of an attitude to the beautiful game, proving that when it comes to England football, the Ramsay household serves it up louder than anyone else.

BRIDGERTON FANS ON THE CHAOS

@whistledowns_wifi

I need everyone to pause their rewatches and look at what occurred in London last night. We spend months analyzing these men for their 'regency gentlemanly restraint' and Luke Newton is currently trending worldwide for ripping his shirt clean off his back and swinging it like a helicopter in Sarah Brightman's loft. THE POISE IS GONE. 💀😭

@ton_gossip_99

Jonathan Bailey was literally standing ON TOP of an antique coffee table leading a football stadium chant at the top of his lungs. Anthony Bridgerton would have ordered a duel for less, but Jonny was just living his best unhinged life. I am crying.

By morning, the viral video clips from the Hellaverse lofts, the Ramsay household, and the local Kingston pubs had been compiled into massive TikTok edits, showcasing the stark contrast between the actors' onscreen personas and their match-day realities.

The duality of the British actor is a psychological study.

Can we talk about the House of the Dragon and Bridgerton crossover at that party? We have Jeremy Irons covered in bright red lipstick marks from Sinead Cusack, Tom Glynn-Carney doing a shirtless knee-slide across the floor roaring like Tarzan, and Luke Newton shirtless next to them. It looked like a historical drama cast mutiny.

As the day progressed, fans began utilizing classic Bridgerton memes to contextualize the absolute madness of the British watch parties.

@featherington_fringe

Lady Whistledown’s next society paper is just going to be an intervention for the entire male cast. 'It has come to this author's attention that the gentlemen of the Ton possess the emotional stability of a sports bar terrace.'

@bridgerton_bound

Honestly, this makes me love them so much more. They spend all year being so pristine, red carpets, tailored suits, perfect elocution... and then England wins 4-2 and they instantly turn feral just like the rest of us. They aren't above it all at all, they're just loud lads from London who love a kickabout.

By the time the Sunday evening repeat broadcasts began airing, the consensus across the entire fandom was locked in. The 2026 World Cup season hadn’t just delivered a massive victory on the football pitch—it had stripped away the velvet and lace of British high society, proving that beneath the titles and the tiaras, the stars of the Ton were just as wonderfully, chaoticly football-mad as the rest of the world.

The morning after the match, Jeremy Irons and Sinead flew back to Kilcoe Castle, looking Hangover but happy, everyone else either slept in late or just took a day off, and Tom Holland posted a picture of him, Zendaya, Ewan ( who consented to be in the post ) and Isabella relaxing over brunch at a pub.

Bryce posted a photo of him and Scarlett showing up to the NYC Hellaverse studio lofts next day, grabbing bagels and large bottles of tea, as Richard Horvitz and Kristen Lazarian look on in amusement

THE POST-MATCH HANGOVER CONTENT IS HERE AND IT IS GLORIOUS. 😭 Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack were spotted boarding a flight back to Kilcoe Castle looking absolutely shattered but incredibly smug.

While the London crew was nursing their hangovers with pub carbs, the New York penthouse contingent was launching their own low-energy survival mission, captured perfectly on the other side of the Atlantic.

@nyc_broadway_baby

Bryce Pinkham’s new post has me crying. He and Scarlett Strallen just rolled up to the NYC Hellaverse studio lofts looking like two absolute ghosts in oversized sunglasses. They are literally clutching a giant bag of New York bagels and massive bottles of iced tea like their lives depend on it.

By afternoon, fans began assembling the ultimate "Before and After" collages, comparing the pristine, energetic watch party fanart to the hilariously exhausted reality of the morning after.

@hellaverse_hoard

The timeline of a 4-2 win:

Saturday: Queen Amethyst shattering glass with operatic high notes, Sir Pentious ripping his shirt off, Vox and Val French kissing in war paint.

Monday: Carbs, massive bottles of tea, oversized sunglasses, and four elite actors hiding from the sunlight in a Kingston pub.

Nature is healing.

@overlord_opinions

Honestly, this whole weekend has been the ultimate multi-fandom bonding experience. Whether you're a voice actor in New York, a Targaryen in London, or a Baratheon in Belfast, a 4-2 football victory forces everyone to pay the exact same price the next morning: a massive bagel craving and a severe need for a nap.

SOME SUNDAY WORLD CUP UPDATES AND MEMES

Qatar vs Switzerland Kickoff gate ( and beyond )

FURRHA FAMILY GATE

The Furrha family travelling from southern California to Santa Clara for the Qatar vs. Switzerland FIFA World Cup match at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium (Levi's Stadium) is a chaotic, multi-car road trip waiting to happen. Driven by Coach Furrha’s rigid itinerary and the kids' endless content creation, this family vacation perfectly blends football hype with classic Furrha drama.

The Chaotic Six-Hour Road Trip

• Coach Furrha’s Military Schedule: Salem (Coach) insists everyone pack the cars by 4:00 AM to beat Los Angeles traffic. He threatens to leave anyone behind who is even a minute late, but they still end up departing two hours behind schedule because Samah can't find her favorite travel sunglasses.

• The Designated Drivers: The family splits into three separate vehicles. Coach drives the "quiet car" with Samah, trying to listen to sports radio. Rush leads the second car, blasting music and running a mobile snack bar. Hamzah drives the third, with the younger siblings filming continuous TikTok challenges down the I-5 freeway.

• The Pit Stop Meltdown: A quick bathroom break at a gas station turns into a 45-minute ordeal. Rush buys out the entire candy aisle, Sammy loses his wallet (only to find it in his own back pocket), and Coach paces outside, pointing aggressively at his watch.

Matchday Tailgating & Outfit Drama

• The Mandatory Dress Code: Coach forces the entire family to wear identical, custom-made maroon Qatar jerseys. Each shirt has their social media handles printed on the back.

• The FanBox Unboxing Video: Before heading to the stadium, the kids gather in the hotel lobby to film a high-energy unboxing of the official Qatar Airways Fanbox. Rush and Hamzah immediately start a chaotic duel using the promotional Qatar flags as swords, while Samah uses the face paint to meticulously draw matching maroon flags on everyone's cheeks

• .The Parking Lot BBQ: Rather than eating standard stadium food, the family attempts a full Arabic barbecue in the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium parking lot. Coach takes over the grill, yelling directions at the boys, while nearby international fans wander over, lured by the smell of spiced meat and the loud Arabic music playing from their trunk.

Inside the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium

• The Competitive Cheering: Sitting in the Qatar supporters' section, the Furrha siblings treat the match like a personal challenge. They try to lead the entire stadium section in a synchronized chant, filming the crowd's reaction for a YouTube vlog.

• The Swiss Rivalry: Hamzah spots a group of Switzerland fans wearing giant cowbells and cheese-themed hats. He immediately drags Rush over to film a comedic "dance-off" and chant battle between the Qatar and Swiss fan bases, which ends in everyone laughing and swapping team scarves.

• Coach the Armchair Manager: Throughout the entire 90 minutes, Coach stands at the railing, aggressively gesturing and yelling tactical advice to the Qatar players as if he is Julen Lopetegui himself. Every time Switzerland's Granit Xhaka takes a shot, Coach panics and screams at the Qatari defenders to close the gap.

ON THE MATCH ITSELF

Coach Furrha treats the 1–1 draw against Switzerland like an emotional rollercoaster, coaching from the stands while the kids turn the intense stadium energy into viral content.

The First Half: Switzerland’s Early Goal

• Coach’s Meltdown: When Switzerland scores an early goal in the 15th minute, Salem stands up, throws his hands in the air, and screams tactical adjustments at the pitch in Arabic.The Vibe Check: The younger siblings immediately turn their cameras on Coach’s angry reaction. Hamzah whisper-narrates to his phone: "Guys, Coach is about to walk onto the field and sub himself in."Samah the Peacemaker: As Salem paces the aisle in frustration, Samah forces him to sit down, hands him a bottle of water, and tells him to calm his heart before his blood pressure spikes.

The Mid-Match Tension

• Nail-Biting Content: During the dry spell before halftime, Rush films a "Anxiety Check" TikTok, panning across the family's stressed faces. Sammy is aggressively chewing his thumbnail, while Coach is intensely glaring at the referee through binoculars.

• The Swiss Truce: To break the tension, the boys buy a massive pretzel and share it with the Switzerland fans sitting next to them. They film a quick video shaking hands, predicting a Qatar comeback.

The 80th-Minute Qatar Equalizer

• Pure Stadium Chaos: When Qatar scores the equalizing goal late in the second half, the Furrha row erupts into total madness. Coach jumps up, forgets his anger, and hugs a random stranger sitting next to him

• .The Flag Wave: Rush climbs onto his stadium seat, waving a massive Qatar flag frantically over the crowd. Hamzah captures the exact moment the stadium goes wild, catching Sammy dropping his phone in the excitement.

• Celebration Dance: Kies and the younger kids immediately start doing a victory dance in the aisle, getting the entire Qatar supporter section to join in on camera.

The Final Whistle: The 1–1 Tie

• The Post-Game Analysis: As the referee blows the final whistle, Coach crosses his arms, nods approvingly, and says, "A tie against Switzerland is like a win for us, they are a tough European team."

• The Satisfied Wrap-Up: The family gathers for a final group photo against the stadium lights. They are exhausted, their voices are completely gone from screaming, but they all agree it was the perfect matchday drama for the vlog.

The Post-Match Content Drop

• The Vlog Race: The moment the final whistle blows, the race is on. Sammy, Rush, and Hamzah sit in the stadium seats, ignoring the exiting crowds, desperately editing their clips to see who can upload the first short-form video of the matchday experience.

• The Exhausted Drive Home: On the drive back down to SoCal, the energy completely collapses. The kids are fast asleep, buried under a mountain of Qatar flags, scarves, and half-eaten stadium snacks. Coach drives in peaceful silence, completely satisfied that he successfully navigated his family through the World Cup.

BAY AREA FANS ON THAT

Final thoughts on tonight's match: Switzerland played well, Qatar showed heart, but Coach Furrha screaming 'YALLA!' for 90 straight minutes is the real Bay Area MVP. Safe travels back to SoCal, legends. 🙌

BRAZIL VS MOROCCO GATE

The Brazilian and Moroccan war paint caused an immediate stir during the pre-match warm-ups when the stadium's "Fan Cam" broadcasted giant close-ups of the intricate designs onto the Jumbotron.

Here are headcanons on how the stadium drama, memes, and fanart unfolded:

The Stadium Stir

• The Jumbotron Face-Off: During the national anthems, the camera operator perfectly framed a Brazilian fan painted as José Carioca right next to a Moroccan fan sporting a glowing, neon-green The Princess and the Frog aesthetic. The contrast of carnival feathers and fictional European-inspired royalty instantly made the crowd roar.

• The Costume Confusion: Security initially paused a group of Brazilian fans at the gates, not because of the paint, but because their massive, carnival-style feathered headdresses were blocking the view of the rows behind them, forcing an impromptu trading of seats

• .The Maldonia Chant: When Morocco fans started chanting traditional Amazigh songs but interspersed them with fictional jazz themes from Maldonia, the entire stadium section erupted into laughter, confusing the commentators who didn’t get the pop-culture reference.

The Disney Fanart & Meme Explosion

• The Literal "Brazil vs. Maldonia" Trend: Within minutes of kickoff, social media completely erased Morocco from the narrative, trending #BrazilVsMaldonia worldwide with thousands of edits replacing the players with José Carioca and Prince Naveen.

• The Rosinha Vaz Fanart: Artists immediately drew Rosinha Vaz (José's girlfriend/wife) in high-fashion, carnival-war-paint armor leading a flock of green parrots, face-to-face with Tiana in Amazigh-Maldonian fusion warrior gear.

• The "Property of Morocco" Meme: Memes flooded the internet showing a map of the fictional kingdom of Maldonia with a giant Moroccan flag stamped over it, captioned: "They can dispute the referee, but they can't dispute our territory."

The match ended in the 1 - 1 tie

Despite that, the Brazilian and Moroccan fans show good sportsmanship - they went from cheering for their teams and trash talking ( without malice ), to dancing, and sharing hugs and snacks

A bunch of Brazilian celebrities - including Deborah Nascimento ( voice of Rosinha in the upcoming Ze Carioca spin off of Ducktales 2017 ), Bernardo de Paula ( current voice of Jose Carioca ), Morena Baccarin, and Gisele Bundchen - liked the posts of the Brazilian war paint

A bunch of Moroccan celebrities, including Moroccan model Imaan Hamaam, liked the posts of the Moroccan facepaints

And the Princess of the Frog cast all liked the war paints of both sides anyway. Anika Noni Rose also commented that she and Jason Dirden are expirinmenting some similar war paint for upcoming matches

The Post-Match Celebration

• The Fusion Dance Circle: Right after the final whistle, fans in José Carioca feathers and Maldonian green paint cleared a massive circle in the concourse, blending Brazilian samba steps with traditional Moroccan Chaabi dancing.

• The Snack Exchange: Brazilian fans started handing out cups of açaí and brigadeiros in exchange for Moroccan mint tea and kaab el ghazal (gazelle horns), jokingly calling it the "Treaty of Maldonia."

• The Paint Swapping: By midnight outside MetLife Stadium, fans were using leftover makeup tubes to paint each other. Moroccan fans ended up with green José Carioca cheek stripes, while Brazilian fans sported Amazigh geometric symbols.

• The Joint Photo Op: A group of fans holding a half-Brazilian, half-Moroccan flag—with Prince Naveen and José Carioca edited onto the center—posed for a viral photo that garnered millions of views.

The Celebrity & Cast Reactions

• The Cast Group Chat: Anika Noni Rose’s comment set off a flurry of texts in The Princess and the Frog cast group chat, leading Keith David (Dr. Facilier) to joke that his shadow demons would wear the Brazil-Maldonia fusion paint next

• .Deborah Nascimento’s Live: Deborah Nascimento went on Instagram Live with Bernardo de Paula to praise the fans, noting that seeing Rosinha Vaz painted on a fan's face in New York made her even more thrilled for the upcoming Zé Carioca spin-off.

• Imaan Hammam’s Story: Imaan Hammam reposted a collage of the Moroccan Amazigh-Maldonian makeup on her Instagram Story, captioning it, "The ultimate runway. Proud of our creativity and our points!"Gisele’s Peace Sign: Gisele Bündchen commented a simple string of emojis—💚💛🇲🇦🇧🇷✨—under the main viral post of a Brazilian and Moroccan fan hugging, which quickly became the most-liked comment on the thread.

DISNEY RELATED MEMES GATE

The Viral Memes

• The "Maldonia is Ours" Flag Drop: The top-trending meme was a video clip of Prince Naveen confidently smirking, edited to show him holding a Moroccan passport, captioned: "When the world finds out Maldonia isn't in Europe, it's just north of Marrakech." [1]

• José's New Wardrobe: A popular multi-panel meme format showed José Carioca looking at his classic beige suit, then looking at a rack of dazzling, feathered Carnival do Brasil armor, ending with the Drake-format nod of approval

• .The Ref is a Shadow Demon: Fans turned Dr. Facilier’s "Friends on the Other Side" into referee memes. Whenever a foul was called against Morocco, social media flooded with edits of the referee having glowing purple eyes and shadow silhouettes.

• The 1–1 Peace Treaty: A split screen showing José Carioca and Prince Naveen fiercely staring each other down in the first half, transitioning into the two characters sitting on a bench together sharing a plate of brigadeiros and Moroccan mint tea at full time.

The Fanart Explosion

• The Dynamic Duel Artwork: Digital artists drew a highly detailed, comic-book-style poster of José Carioca and Rosinha Vaz standing back-to-back in glowing neon war paint, facing off against Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen dressed in royal Amazigh-Maldonian fusion armor.

• The Chibi Snack Swap: An incredibly viral piece of fanart depicted chibi versions of José, Rosinha, Tiana, and Naveen sitting on the pitch turf. José was shown struggling with a hot glass of Moroccan mint tea, while Naveen had chocolate brigadeiro sprinkles all over his face.

• The Next Match Hype: Inspired by Anika Noni Rose's comment, artists drew Tiana and Naveen sitting in the stadium stands, actively painting intricate green and gold Amazigh patterns onto each other's faces to prepare for the next World Cup round.

• The Jumbotron Frame: A gorgeous watercolor painting recreated the exact moment the Jumbotron captured the two fan groups. It featured a realistic Brazilian fan in vibrant carnival feathers laughing and locking arms with a Moroccan fan wearing a glowing Maldonian-tiara face paint.

DISNEY FANS ON THAT

The Twitter timeline was moving so fast it was practically glitching. The 1–1 draw between Brazil and Morocco at the New York stadium had officially crossed over from the sports world straight into deep Disney fandom lore, and the tweets were nothing short of magnificent.

Honestly, 10/10 sportsmanship from both sides. The video of the fans swapping feathers and face paint outside MetLife Stadium after the game is the peak of the internet today. Best match of the World Cup hands down.

Some fans thought Maldonia is ' somewhere in the Mediterranean Europe ', and some other fans thought it was somewhere in the Middle East or South Asia

But the Princess of the Frog libretto described Maldonia as a ' Sahara bound kingdom ' with a mix of North African and South Asian inspired elements

Morocco turns out to have a good portion of people speaking French, Spanish and/or Portuguese, not just Amazigh or Moroccan Arabic

And then Moroccans just declare Maldonia as theirs, and the cast of Princess of the Frog just shrugged it off and went with it. Nobody cared that some thugs are foaming in their mouths about how Maldonia isn't a European country anyway

Let’s look at the facts:

1. Libretto says "Sahara-bound."

2. Mix of North African culture.

3. Fans at the New York stadium brought the exact aesthetic to life.

The debate is over. The 1-1 tie with Brazil wasn't a football match, it was a geopolitical confirmation that Maldonia borders the Atlas Mountains. ⚽️🎨@Yassine_Vibe • 25m

The absolute breakdown some people are having over a Disney kingdom's geography is hilarious. They really thought every prince had to be from a tiny village in France or Germany. Morocco took the lore, painted it on our faces, and made it canon. Shoutout to the Brazilian fans who didn't even argue and just shared snacks with us afterward! 🇧🇷🤝🇲🇦

SCOTLAND VS HAITI GATE

David Tennant ( voice of Malcolm III of Scotland in Hellaverse ), Georgia Tennant ( Margaret of Wessex ), Jack Davenport ( Dante Alighieri ) and Michelle Gomez ( Beatric Portinari ) prepare for a watch party with their Scottish friends and relatives in London for the upcoming Scotland versus Haiti match in the 2026 World Cup season, David, Georgia, Michelle and Jack all brought their respective kids along for the watch party at David and Georgia's house in London.

Pre-Game Chaos & Kitchen Matches

• Living room transformation: David drags three extra sofas into the main room. He drapes them in giant Lion Rampant flags.

• The jersey negotiation: Georgia forces all the kids into matching Scotland kits. Jack’s kids protest, demanding to wear Italy shirts for Dante, but Michelle shuts it down with a stern, Beatrice-approved glare.

• The snack battle: Michelle takes over the kitchen to fry up a mountain of homemade Haggis bon-bons. Jack tries to introduce high-end Italian charcuterie, which David promptly smothers in brown sauce.

• The tactical board: David uses a dry-erase marker on the glass patio door to draw up Scotland's football formations. He keeps shouting tactical advice in his Scrooge McDuck voice to amuse the kids.

Cultural Clashes & Traditions

• The anthem rehearsal: Before guests arrive, David and Michelle lead the children in a deafening, highly dramatic rehearsal of "Flower of Scotland" [1] to test the room's acoustics.

• The superstition check: Georgia bans anyone from saying the word "Haiti" out loud before kickoff. She insists they refer to the opponents strictly as "The Visitors" to avoid a jinx.

• The Dante commentary: Jack sits in the corner reading up on Haitian football history. He occasionally chimes in with grim, poetic prophecies about the match that sound exactly like The Divine Comedy.

• The arrival rush: The front door flies open as Scottish relatives from Glasgow and Edinburgh pour in. The house instantly fills with loud accents, rustling crisp packets, and the smell of Irn-Bru.

The Final Whistle Melt Down

• The structural test: David leaps so high when the final whistle blows that his head nearly clears the living room ceiling. He tackles Jack onto the sofa in a chaotic hug

• .The vocal sacrifice: Michelle Screams so fiercely for the full 90 minutes that her voice drops three octaves. She sounds exactly like Missy celebrating a successful evil plot.The instant anthem: Georgia grabs a broomstick, ties a Scotland flag to it, and leads all the children in a celebratory march through the kitchen singing "Flower of Scotland" at the top of their lungs.

• The historical decree: Jack dramatically announces that Scotland's 1-0 victory has officially redeemed all nine circles of football purgatory. He then pours a round of premium whiskey to toast the team.

The Post-Match Celebration

• The Irn-Bru shower: David cracks open a fresh can of Irn-Bru and accidentally sprays half the front row of the couch while jumping around with his cousins.

• The family photo: Georgia lines up all the kids, David, Michelle, and Jack for a victory photo. David makes a wild, wide-eyed face while holding up a single finger for the 1-0 win.

• The neighbor apology: Michelle opens the front window to scream "Come on Scotland!" into the London streets. She then politely apologizes to the bewildered English neighbors next door.

• The tactical wrap-up: David immediately rewrites his whiteboard tactics, circles the winning goalscorer’s name five times, and declares the match an absolute tactical masterclass.

Pretty soon, photos and videos of that watch party are posted on social media, inspiring a bunch of Macbeth, McDuck Family and Hellaverse Heavenly related memes and fanart

HELLAVERSE FANS ON THAT

@HazbinHeavenly

GUYSSSS DAVID TENNANT’S VOICE IS COMPLETELY GONE IN GEORGIA’S INSTA STORY 😭 He is literally just squeaking like a broken dog toy while wearing a Scotland flag as a cape. Malcolm III has ascended.

@BeatriceStan_

Can we talk about Michelle Gomez though?! In the background of Jack Davenport’s video, she is standing on a coffee table pointing at the TV and screaming "GET IN THE NET YOU COWards" in her full Beatrice voice. I am terrified and incredibly attracted to her.

@DantesInfernoReal

[Image Link: A fanart of Dante Alighieri in full medieval robes, but he’s wearing a modern Scotland football kit over it and weeping tears of joy while holding a can of Irn-Bru.]

Jack Davenport looking completely exhausted while David tackles him onto the sofa gave me total "Dante being dragged through purgatory" vibes. I had to draw it immediately.

@McDuckManifesto

[Meme Link: The "I am the one who knocks" breaking bad meme, but edited with Scrooge McDuck’s face holding David's whiteboard marker.]

David Tennant drawing football tactics on his glass patio doors while shouting at the kids in his Scrooge McDuck voice is the peak of 2026. "THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DEFEND A CORNER, YA WEE BAIRNS!"

@HellaverseSpeculation

Wait, wait, wait. Look at the background of Michelle’s selfie. Is that a whiteboard drawing of a football formation, or is David Tennant leaks for the next Hellaverse season? Why does the midfield look like the hierarchy of Heaven? 😂

@MacbethsGhost

The Scottish play could NEVER match the drama of that final five minutes of stoppage time. David’s face in the family photo is pure, unadulterated madness. He looks like Macbeth right before the forest starts moving.

@GeorgiaSuperfan

Shoutout to Georgia Tennant for capturing the exact moment David accidentally sprayed a can of Irn-Bru all over Jack's very expensive-looking linen shirt. Jack’s face just said: "I left the underworld for this?"

MATCH INSPIRED MEMES GATE

The DuckTales (Scrooge McDuck) Memes & Fanart

• The "Work Smarter, Not Harder" Edit: A viral meme format uses the screencap of David Tennant wildly drawing football formations on his patio glass. Fan artists quickly redraw it with Scrooge McDuck frantically mapping out a strategy to protect his Money Bin from Haiti’s strikers, using gold coins as magnets on a whiteboard.

• The Heart Attack Warning: A redrawn comic panel shows Launchpad McQuack rushing into the room with a defibrillator because Scrooge (David) is clutching his chest during the 90th-minute stoppage time. The caption reads: "When the tactical masterclass almost costs you your number one dime."

• The Webby Investigation Board: Fans take the video of David yelling tactics at the kids and overlay it with Webby Vanderquack’s yarn-and-string conspiracy board. The meme text reads: "Me explaining to my friends how Scotland’s 1-0 win structurally mirrors the rise and fall of the McDuck empire."

• Glomgold’s Bitter Tweet: A popular parody account for Flintheart Glomgold posts a bitter, poorly cropped photo of a TV screen showing the 1-0 score. The caption reads: "HAITI WAS ROBBED! MCDUCK OBVIOUSLY BRIBED THE REFEREE WITH SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD! CHEATERS!"

The Hellaverse Heavenly Memes & Fanart

• The Divine Comedy Tier List: A viral fanart piece depicts Dante (Jack) sitting in a gaming chair, looking utterly exhausted while typing on a laptop. Above him is a tier list ranking the "Nine Circles of Football Suffering," with "Defending a 1-0 Lead Against Haiti for 10 Minutes of Extra Time" placed firmly at the very bottom in the deepest pit of Hell

• .Beatrice’s Wrath: An incredibly detailed digital painting shows Beatrice Portinari (Michelle) glowing with terrifying, angelic light, standing on a cloud (or a coffee table). She is pointing a heavenly sword directly at a football referee on a television screen, perfectly capturing Michelle’s energy from the watch party video.

• Malcolm III’s Heavenly Decree: Fan artists draw Malcolm III (David) wearing his full historical, royal Scottish robes, but with a modern supporter's scarf wrapped around his neck. He is holding a golden chalice filled entirely with Irn-Bru and giving a thumbs-up to the camera.

• The Chibi Chaos Trio: A heavily shared comic strip shows chibi versions of Malcolm III, Beatrice, and Dante squeezed onto a tiny heavenly cloud, sharing a single bowl of popcorn. Malcolm is screaming, Beatrice is throwing a haggis bon-bon at the screen, and Dante is just covering his eyes in pure anxiety.

DT17 x HELLAVERSE GROUPCHAT CROSSOVER CHAOS

The notification on David Tennant’s phone buzzed so violently it nearly slid off the kitchen island.

With a groan, he picked it up, expecting another celebratory text from his Scottish cousins. Instead, the screen lit up with a chaotic merger invitation.

[Georgia Tennant has merged 'The Quack Pack Army' and 'Divine and Infernal Comedies' into one group chat: 'THE DIVINE QUACK ATTACK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿']

David: Georgia, what have you done? My phone is vibrating at a frequency that is threatening my pacemaker.

Georgia: Sharing the joy, darling! The internet has turned our living room into art, and I refuse to let you hide from it.

Ben Schwartz: OH MY GOD IT’S HAPPENING. EVERYONE STAY CALM. UNCLE SCROOGE IS IN THE BUILDING.

Alex Brightman: Wait, who invited the ducks? Is this Heaven or Hell? Because if it’s Hell, I’m supposed to be running it. If it’s Heaven, Jack Davenport is currently crying in the corner over a linen shirt.

Jack Davenport: It was bespoke linen, Alex. And it now smells permanently of orange carbonation and Scottish despair. David’s tactical spray radius is a biological hazard.

Michelle Gomez: Oh, dry your eyes, Dante. It gives the fabric character. Besides, look at this!

[Michelle uploaded an image: A high-quality fanart of Beatrice Portinari holding a heavenly sword, but the sword is replaced by a massive can of Irn-Bru, pointing menacingly at a terrified referee.]

Michelle: I look magnificent. I’m thinking of printing it out and framing it over the fireplace.

Danny Pudi: [Sent a side-by-side comparison meme of David frantic at the patio glass next to Huey McDuck checking his Junior Woodchucks Guidebook]

Danny: David, I must officially critique your 4-3-3 formation on the window. Your defensive line was entirely too exposed to Haiti’s counter-attack. Huey would give this a C-minus in tactical geometry.

David: It was a high-press system, Danny! It was built on passion, grit, and the sheer terror of Michelle screaming in my ear! It worked, didn't it? 1-0! The whiteboard doesn't lie!

Bobby Moynihan: Personally, I’m with Louie on this one. I’ve already contacted Disney merchandising. We are licensing "Scrooge’s Tactical Window Markers" by midnight. We’re going to be rich.

Kate Micucci: Aw, look at the little chibi fanart of us all on the cloud eating popcorn! 🥺 Malcolm III looks so cute when he's angry!

Erika Henningsen: Right?! It’s so wholesome! Though I am a little worried about the fanart where Scrooge McDuck is trying to bribe the grim reaper with a single Scottish pound coin to get Scotland into the World Cup finals.

David: Hey! Scrooge would never give away a whole pound. He’d negotiate for a shilling at most.

Jack Davenport: The fact that I am being grouped into a digital asylum with a fictional animated waterfowl and the cast of a musical about Hell is exactly what Alighieri envisioned for the ultimate circle of Purgatory.

Ben Schwartz: Love you too, Jack! Hey David, next match, can we come over? I’ll bring blue cupcakes. Dewey style.

Georgia: Only if you promise to help Jack clean the sofa.

DISNEY FANS ON THE CAST MEMBERS LAUGHING ABOUT THE MEMES

@DuckTalesCentral

OH MY GOD. Danny Pudi just quote-tweeted the video of David screaming tactics at his kids with: "Huey approves of the whiteboard discipline, Uncle Scrooge, but your geometry on the midfield press is mathematically flawed." I AM CRYING. 😭

@ScroogeMcFan

[Screencap of Ben Schwartz’s Twitter]

BEN SCHWARTZ REPLIED TO DANNY! He said: "Classic Huey. Meanwhile, Dewey is already wearing the Scotland flag as a cape and jumping off the roof into a pile of money." The boys are back together, I swear.

@HellaverseHeavenly

Wait, it gets better. Danny and Ben’s thread caught the attention of the Hellaverse cast. Alex Brightman jumped in and replied to Ben: "If Dewey jumps off the roof, tell him the welcoming committee in Heaven is just Jack Davenport crying over spilled Italian wine and Michelle Gomez wielding a slipper." 💀

@WebbysNotebook

[Image Link: A fan-edited split-screen. On the left, David Tennant is wide-eyed and sweaty, pointing at his patio door. On the right, Kate Micucci’s Webby Vanderquack is holding a magnifying glass with the exact same crazed expression.]

Kate Micucci actually posted this on her Instagram story with the caption: "Like father, like daughter. Go Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦆" David’s real-life chaotic energy is literally just Webby and Scrooge combined.

@DisneyAnimationDaily

The fact that standard Disney fans and adult-animation Hellaverse stans are peacefully co-existing in the same Twitter thread because David Tennant sprayed Jack Davenport with Irn-Bru is the peak of internet culture.

@BeatriceAndDante

Jack Davenport finally broke his silence on the memes! He tweeted a picture of the fanart showing Dante weeping into a can of Irn-Bru and wrote: "Art mimics life. Though I must clarify, the physical purgatory of sitting next to David and Michelle during stoppage time is far worse than anything Alighieri ever wrote."

@GomezGoddess

Michelle Gomez saw Jack’s tweet and replied: "Oh hush, Jackie. You loved the haggis bon-bons. Don't make me pull out the heavenly wrath again." The Hellaverse cast is literally just a chaotic family dinner.

@LouieTheRich

Bobby Moynihan just ended the whole debate. He posted a GIF of Louie McDuck loungeing on a couch covered in green dollar bills, captioned: "Me watching David, Michelle, Jack, and the rest of the internet lose their minds over a 1-0 football match while I calculate how much money we can make off Scrooge McDuck supporter scarves."

AUSTRALIA VS TURKIYE KICKOFF GATE

The Ultimate Aussie Chaos Watch Party is taking place at Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky's sprawling estate, combining Melbourne’s heavy comedy, Sydney’s elite indie animation scene, and Hollywood-by-the-beach energy.

Here are the chaotic headcanons for how this legendary crew prepares for the Australia vs. Türkiye 2026 World Cup showdown.

🏠 The Venue & The Hosts (Chris Hemsworth & Elsa Pataky)

• The Vibe: Chris is taking the "Socceroos fan" energy to dangerous heights. He has set up a massive, stadium-grade outdoor LED screen by the pool

• .The Ritual: Chris forces everyone to do a high-intensity, pre-match workout in his home gym to "get the blood pumping for the boys.

• The Mediator: Elsa spends the entire evening trying to stop the animations crews from sketching inappropriate doodles on her expensive linen napkins, while making sure there is actual food available that isn't just meat pies.

🐨 The Animation Contingent (Michael Cusack, SpindleHorse, & Smiling Friends Crew)

• The Gremlin Energy: Michael Cusack (the voice of Mammon) arrives entirely unhinged. He spends the pre-game pacing the living room, screaming tactical advice in his high-pitched Mammon voice, demanding that Australia "just kick the bloody ball into the net for the cash!"

• The Contrast: Zach Hadel sits quietly in a massive designer armchair, looking completely overwhelmed by the Sydney humidity and Chris Hemsworth's physical stature. He insists on calling the sport "soccer-ball" just to rile up the locals.

• The Doodles: The Hellaverse studio lofts crew brings a portable tablet. By halftime, they have storyboarded an entire fictional episode where Blitzø gets red-carded for tackling a referee, and Mammon tries to legally buy the Australian national team.

🤌 The Sooshi Mango Crew (The Ethnic Australian Representation)

• The Catering Takeover: Joe, Carlo, and Andrew completely ignore Chris’s gourmet catering. They show up with three massive, unlabelled plastic containers of homemade pasta and an entire crate of Birra Moretti

• .The Argument: They immediately get into a screaming match with Cusack about football culture. They insist that if Australia doesn't play with "true Mediterranean passion," they have no chance against Türkiye

• .The Wog Dads: Halfway through the pre-show, they slip into their iconic "Wog Dad" characters, loudly complaining about the referee's eyesight and asking Chris if he "knows a guy" who can fix the pool pump for cheap.

🏟️ The Pre-Match Chaos

• The Anthem: Before kickoff, Chris makes everyone stand in a straight line by the infinity pool for the national anthem. Cusack intentionally sings the wrong words in a grating voice, while the Sooshi Mango boys sing the Italian anthem just to be difficult

• .The Bets: Luke and Liam Hemsworth are running a backyard betting pool. Liam is taking it way too seriously, while Luke keeps trying to bribe the Smiling Friends crew to animate him into their next project.

Australia’s 2 - 0 victory over Türkiye triggers absolute, unhinged euphoria across the Hemsworth estate, cementing this watch party as the most chaotic night in Australian pop-culture history.

Here are the headcanons for how Michael Cusack, the Smiling Friends crew, and the rest of the Sydney contingent celebrate the goals and the final whistle.

⚽ Goal 1: The 34th-Minute Breakthrough (Slight Optimism)

• The Reaction: When Australia scores the first goal, Chris Hemsworth leaps off the sofa, accidentally lifting a nearby coffee table into the air with pure adrenaline.

• The Cusack Freakout: Michael Cusack immediately drops to the floor, doing a terrible, erratic worm dance across Elsa Pataky's pristine rug while screaming in his screeching Mammon voice: "THAT'S A MILLION-DOLLAR BOOT! PAY THAT MAN!"

• The American Confusion: Zach Hadel sits completely still, blinking at the screen. He leans over to a hyped-up Richard Steven Horvitz ( via facetime ) and asks, "Did they just win the whole thing? Is it over?" only to be drowned out by Luke Hemsworth blowing an air horn directly next to his ear.

⚽ Goal 2: The 78th-Minute Sealer (Complete Bedlam)

• The Inevitable Spill: The second the ball hits the back of the net to make it 2 - 0, Joe from Sooshi Mango throws a plate of arancini directly into the air. A stray rice ball lands perfectly in the hood of Chris Hemsworth's designer hoodie.

• The Hellaverse Synchro-Scream: The SpindleHorse and Sydney studio loft animators start banging on the glass doors like primal beasts. One animator immediately grabs a sharpie and draws a crude, celebratory Australian flag on Zach Hadel’s forearm while he isn't looking.

• The Bet: Liam Hemsworth frantically counts out cash to pay a smug Carlo from Sooshi Mango, who predicted the exact scoreline based purely on "the vibes of the Turkish goalkeeper's body language."

🚨 The Final Whistle (Absolute Anarchy)

• The Pool Plunge: The referee blows the final whistle, confirming the 2 - 0 win. Without hesitating, Chris Hemsworth grabs Michael Cusack by the waist and throws him directly into the infinity pool. Cusack goes under still clutching his beer and emerges coughing, instantly shouting an improvised insult in his YOLO: Silver Destiny voice.

• The Victory Lap: The Sooshi Mango crew links arms with Liam and Luke Hemsworth, doing a traditional, aggressive Greek-Italian-Aussie zorba dance around the outdoor kitchen, kicking empty beer cans out of the way.

• The Souvenir: As the broadcast cuts to the post-match commentary, Zach Hadel is found huddled under a patio heater, shivering from the pool splashes, drinking a warm espresso that Elsa Pataky gave him out of pity. Meanwhile, Cusack is already drafting a pitch for a cartoon about a mutant kangaroo who wins the Golden Boot.

HELLAVERSE FANS ON THAT

@HazbinHistory

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS VIDEO??? Michael Cusack is literally soaking wet, wearing a Thor replica helmet sideways, screaming at the top of his lungs in the Mammon voice while Chris Hemsworth does one-handed pushups in the background. What timeline are we living in?!

@SpindleStan: The way Michael yelled "GET THAT BALL IN THE NET YOU DOGS, MAMMON NEEDS A NEW YACHT" has me crying. It’s canon. Mammon is an Aussie soccer hooligan.

@Vivzie_Vibes: Look at Zach Hadel in the corner of that frame. He looks like a Victorian child who was accidentally teleported into a gym. He is terrified of the Hemsworth genetics.

@HelluvaHooligan

[Image: A split screen. On the left: Mammon counting his greed-ring profits. On the right: A blurry, high-shutter-speed photo of Michael Cusack and the Sooshi Mango crew aggressively doing the Zorba dance around Chris Hemsworth’s outdoor kitchen.]

Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture.

@GreedRingGoon: They are the same picture. The Aussie Hellaverse contingent is completely unhinged.

@StolasSlut

NOT THE ANIMATORS MAKING ACTUAL HELLAVERSE LORE AT THORS HOUSE AT 2 AM 😭💀 Look at Liam’s face, he is trying so hard to understand what a "Blitzø" is.

@Moxxie_Defender: The fact that the Sydney lofts crew just carries tablets to parties in case inspiration strikes is wild. Also, Stolas in an Aussie kit is something I didn't know I needed.

@Ozzie_Enthusiast: Can we talk about the audio though? You can literally hear the Sooshi Mango guys arguing in the background with Elsa Pataky about whether Asmodeus would prefer homemade lasagna or a meat pie. I am suffocating.

The internet exploded with fanart and memes within hours of the final whistle, creating a permanent bridge between MCU film bros, indie animation stans, and ethnic Australian comedy fans.

Here are the headcanons for the most viral fanart trends and memes that dominated TikTok, Twitter, and Reddit after the historic Sydney watch party.

🎨 The Viral Fanart Trends

• The "Victorian Child" Contrast Painting: The most-liked piece of fanart on Twitter is a highly detailed, Renaissance-style digital painting based on the viral photo of Zach Hadel and Chris Hemsworth. It depicts a towering, glowing, muscular Thor offering a tiny, shivering, green-hooded Zach a warm cup of tea after he got splashed by the pool. The caption simply reads: "God gives his strongest battles to his scariest little guys."

• The Greed Ring Socceroos Takeover: Artists instantly drew Mammon dressed in a vintage, sweat-stained 1974 green-and-gold Australia jersey, wearing a cork hat, and aggressively ripping up a losing betting slip. In the background of the art, Blitzø and Fizzarolli are seen vandalizing a stadium billboard, replacing it with a crude drawing of the Sooshi Mango crew

• .Stolas in a Bucket Hat: A massive trend emerged of drawing high-ranking Goetia demons experiencing regular Australian football culture. A fan-favorite drawing shows Stolas sitting on a plastic lawn chair at a suburban pitch, eating a messy meat pie with tomato sauce dripping down his feathers, while holding an inflatable Australian flag.

• The "Wog Dad" Hell Bosses: Inspired by the Sooshi Mango crossover, fans started drawing Satan and Asmodeus dressed in ribbed white singlets, gold chains, and trackpants, standing over a backyard barbecue arguing about the referee's officiating in heavy Melbourne accents.

📱 The Viral Meme Formats

• The "Arancini Inbound" Template: A freeze-frame screenshot of Joe from Sooshi Mango accidentally launching a plate of arancini into the air became the internet's definitive reaction meme for sudden chaos. The text usually says: "Me minding my own business" (labeled on Chris Hemsworth) and "A brand new Hellaverse lore drop at 2:00 AM" (labeled on the flying rice ball).

• "Mammon's Financial Advice" TikTok Audio: The audio of Michael Cusack screaming, "GET THAT BALL IN THE NET YOU DOGS, MAMMON NEEDS A NEW YACHT!" in his signature voice became a viral TikTok sound. Millions of users used it as background audio for videos of themselves checking their bank accounts, buying lottery tickets, or making terrible financial decisions.

• The Marvel vs. Indie Animation Power Scale: A popular multi-panel meme compared the physical power of the MCU to the chaotic energy of the Sydney animation lofts. Panel one showed Thor shattering a planet with Mjolnir. Panel two showed a blurry video of Michael Cusack doing a terrible, erratic worm dance on Elsa Pataky’s expensive living room rug. The caption read: "Marvel budget vs. Australian indie animator willpower.

• "The "Who is Blitzø?" Confusion: A heavily circulated meme format used a screenshot of Liam Hemsworth looking deeply bewildered while looking at a SpindleHorse storyboard tablet. It became a template used to describe trying to explain extremely niche, complex internet lore to regular, functional members of society.

MARVEL FANS ON THE MEMES

@MarvelMultiverse

Uhhhh guys? Look at Chris Hemsworth’s Instagram story right now. He just reposted that Renaissance fanart of him and Zach Hadel. HE CAPTIONED IT: “Met a new variant today. Very powerful. Very damp.” I AM CRYING.

@ThorBro88: No way. No actually way. Chris knows who the Smiling Friends are?!

@CineMarvel: It gets better. Michael Cusack commented on the post in character as Mammon: “OI THOR, LEND US SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS MATE, I LOST A BET ON THE TURKISH GOALIE.”

@TomHiddlesBatch

BEYOND CURSED: Tom Hiddleston just replied to a tweet showing the fanart of Stolas eating a meat pie in a bucket hat. He tagged Bryce Pinkham (Stolas's voice actor) and wrote: “Is this what you do when you aren’t in Hell, brother?”

@GoetiaGlow: OH MY GOD, THE LOKI AND STOLAS VA CROSSOVER IS REAL.

@MarvelFandomHype: Bryce actually replied back!! He said: “The Australian tomato sauce stains are permanent, Tom. Send help (and a napkin).”

@AvengersAssemble_

[Video: A screen recording of a Twitter Space with Mark Ruffalo’s profile picture lighting up while he laughs hysterically. Michael Cusack’s voice is heard yelling, “Mark, mate, you gotta get the Hulk into the Sydney lofts, we’ll draw him with a mullet!”]

MARK RUFFALO IS CURRENTLY IN A TWITTER SPACE WITH THE VOICE OF MAMMON. I repeat, the Hulk is talking to a Greed Demon about getting a mullet. We have officially reached peak internet peak.

@MCU_Mastermind: The best part is the Sooshi Mango guys yelling over them about how the Hulk looks like their Uncle Tony after three glasses of homemade wine.

@ScarletWitchStan: This watch party has broken the space-time continuum. Can Kevin Feige just canonize the Hellaverse already?

By afternoon, even VivziePop had joined the fray, tweeting a screenshot of a text message from a confused Marvel producer asking if "Mammon" was available for a cameo in the next Thor movie.

For Marvel Twitter, the 2026 World Cup match was no longer just a sporting event. It was the historic day their favorite cinematic universe collided with the unhinged, beautiful chaos of Australian indie animation, leaving behind a trail of viral interactions that fans would be talking about for years.
