Hatchet-Tober - Day 16: Monster

List and comments 👇

I would have drawn him for cryptid but I wanna draw chumby

Ruth Fleming and Boy Jerry both die the same death at the hands of a monster they helped create but ya'll aren't ready for that conversation.

Brad Callahan, Quarterback

So Brad, instead of Max, being the Nighthawks QB is one of the more interesting minor details in Yellow Jacket. Of course a lot of time has passed since the timelines diverged, so it's perfectly possible that Max's family moved, or that the try-outs played out differently. But also could there be the Implication(TM) that Max is, you know... dead?

I highly doubt that a version of Nerdy Prudes played out in this timeline, since it's hard to see Steph and Pete going along with anything Grace says now that they're free of the Witch Wood and her reign of summer camp terror. But we still have Grace herself, who in this timeline possesses both untainted prudishness and an alliance with Little Jerry, and is already a bit mad with power by the time their senior year starts. And it's hard to imagine a version of Max who doesn't hit on Grace any chance he gets. So what if, to punish him for his carnal desires, the Grace of Nightmare Time 2 lured Max out into the woods (just as, a couple of branches over, she had him lured to the Waylon House) and let the Axe Man do his work on her behalf? Leaving Brad Callahan to step forward and torment Hannah with his enlarged ego and Justin Bieber haircut.

I know there's a lot of what-ifs in this, but we can't deny that the Max of the Nightmare Time 2 timeline is conspicuous in his absence. It just makes sense to me, that the Grace of Abstinence Camp would also rain demonic justice down on Max and call it divine. And I love the idea that Max and Grace are another pattern that echoes out across the web of timelines, like some twisted inversion of Paulkins or Lautski. Paul and Emma will always find each other, as will Steph and Pete. Lex and Ethan will always love each other and it will always be doomed. And Grace Chasity will oh-so-righteously send Max Jagerman to his demise. Even if we don't see it happen.

It's just so fucked up and therefore so very Them.

thinking about this all day

[random-jot]

can we talk about Boy Jerry's weird little phrases in Abstinence Camp? 'I oughtta cover you in syrup' what 'I oughtta put you in a canoe' hello? there was a third one too that I can't quite remember, but, like, why did he keep making such weird threats?

is the implication that doing these things makes the person he's threatening an 'offering' to lumberaxe maybe? is it just his own sexual frustration coming out in a weird manner? is he just kind of a weird guy? we may never know

[miss-holloways]

ok so idk why but I find the story behind Lumberaxe a little funny, especially compare to the others.

To start, we all kind of assumed these were all old legends, campfire stories passed through the centuries, but Lumberaxe is the jerry's kid. He hasn't been there for long.

Speaking of, this next part isn't even funny. Cuz like, Willabella muchwab is indeed this terrifying centuries old witch, and chumby may be a sweetheart, but he still has the capacity to kill you, and he has killed in the past. But Lumberaxe on the other hand? His story is just sad. Two parents who were ashamed of his existence and forced him to live in the Witchwood, a magical wood that let him grow to 6 ft at only 2 years old? Who grows more demented in the woods as time passes? Who takes his parents anti-sex message to such an extreme that he ends up killing his parents?

I don't know man, something about that is just so sad to me

so the way i'm understanding the season 2 lore is that the witchwood forest is magic because of the lords in black. the land was "paid for in blood" so the land itself is what holds the magic. things grow big, and different in the witchwood; both plants and people. the tree people are people with the gift who were buried in the ground by the hatchetmen, a group of men whose goal is seemingly to get rid of the gift and to keep the lords in black's magic contained in the witchwood forest. the trees are a sort of vessel for the gift, and when they are chopped down, the gift is released and can attach itself to any child in hatchetfield. webby seeks out these children and keeps them company, tries to keep them safe from her brothers. the gift peaks at 15 and most people grow out of it

i'm still not totally clear about the church of the starry children, but they worship the lords in black and sacrifice the honey queen each year, a ritual started in 1945 to allow nibby to walk the earth for one night on the eve of the honey festival. the original members of the church, one of which was sherman young's biological father, were murdered by the hatchetmen. they mightve written the black book; they definitely used it
