Nightmare Time 2 Episode 3 Thoughts

I didn't get a chance to do this last time so I'm doing it now because I really do love these episodes

MIAH?!?!?!?

Can we talk about how good Jaime is at making music videos? This and Where I Wanna Be are amazing

Ok but where did Jaime get those Care Bear plushies? They look like they're from the iteration I grew up with and I want them

Jeff sounds SO good

If I remember correctly, Jaime said that Andrew noticed her nips in the bathtub scene and she had to edit them out. Thank god he caught that omg. And great editing on Jaime's part.

I love how passionate Frank is about Toyzone. He truly cares for this place.

OOOOUuUuUTT!!!

Death to Bezos

This is so TRAGIC!!!! Not Buddy please no!

I wish Miss Retro's was real so bad it feels like the most vibey place ever. This is the type of place teens in 80s movies hang out. Mutuals I want to be teens in 80s movies with.

STAAHP I'M SAAD

Jaime is so good as Sherman

Sugar Gliders seems like something I would have LOVED when I was little. Honestly I'd probably still enjoy it now.

Frank that is weird to say that right in front of Sherman

SHERMAN DON'T SAY THAT

I want his dino bowtie so much

Don't shame me!

Oh hello Lurch Marco

Ok but can we talk about how next episode we see how quickly the CaliforMIA trio had to grow up because of their financial circumstance. Like Sherman isn't wrong in his statement but his thinking behind it is

Call him out Holloway

Frank I love you but that was a douche move. She has mouths to feed at home!

"I'm not going anywhere." Can anyone tell me what foreshadowing is?

Oh uh uh I do not like this. Bad vibes. Bad vibes! Shelia stop that right now. Please don't treat Frank like your servant. Not the black man, you rich white woman.

Oh hi Becky :D

SheLIA WHAT THE HECK HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING

PLEASE HE'S SUFFERED ENOUGH

Why do I want all of Sherman's stuff? Gimme the dino jammies!

YES TELL HER OFF FRANK

WAIT STOP SHERMAN DID NOTHING WRONG! DON'T TAKE HIS STUFF!!

Do you think Sheila's ever gone "Pull the lever, Marco. WRONG LEVER!" Because I do

It's a nightmare TIME. Get it right Frank

BARRY SWIFT!?!?! This name works on multiple levels and I love it. It works as a pun and a Flash reference.

Stop I'm sad again

Two weeks and your done grieving?

I wish rich people would do more cool stuff with their money! They're so boring and stupid. Give me your money if you're not going to use it properly

Oh hello Feast Or Famine

#Barlen #Helry #OTPIAH

The acting skills Frank

This episode is making me miss Toys R Us. Or when I went on my monthly trips to Claire's for Shopkins

I do kinda feel bad for Sherman in all of this. It's not his fault he was raised to believe he deserved his privilege simply because he was born with it. Frank really could've made him better if Shelia allowed him to

Shelia is brutal. She really didn't need to kill Ted

Frank is so good. He meant it when he told Barry that they were both making it out. He really wanted to and tried his best. And him saying sorry to Lex-

M-Make?!

So is Shelia part of the cult herself or does she just have access to it through Sherman's father

"I did." SHE THOUGHT! GET HER!

Frank: 👁👄👁

So like. does he have to get re-enrolled into school or?

Sherman. Babe. I know you're experience with being parented isn't the best but they don't usually do whatever you want them to

Yall Corey killed it. Never did I think I'd care about Frank this much

I LOVE NEEDY BEAST SO MUCH!

THRASH IS SO FUNNY! THIS FIGHT IS SO FUNNY! LITERALLY NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING

Wait I just remembered the end! Kale's introduction is tragic actually. He just wants to die

Hey! Dennys is for the theater kids! Not the punk rockers!

This flirting is so awkward. They both think they're so edgy. Calm down sweeties

Not the "Hiya, Duke. Thanks for coming." Dblwjhslfnjd so he's that type of dad

I love Duke. He's trying not to overwhelm Rose and trying to make her feel comfortable with him. He's showing he has similar interests and trying to make her laugh and showing her that he'll listen. He's good at his job!

Rose looks like she's trying so hard to hide her fear. She looks so uncomfortable but she has to keep up the punk front. Guys she doesn't care at all trust her

What's wrong with Barbie, Rosarie?

Yo Holloway kinda scary ngl

She read you like a book and ripped you to shreds dang

Rose is adorable

God I forgot how demonic the killer track actually sounded. OOUOUUWAAHAHAHAH Jeff understood the assignment jeez

Shh bby don't think. Eat your pie. Everything's ok

The mess up in blowing out the candle

Duke. My guy. We all have the same knowledge you do.

DUKE! MY GUY! LISTEN TO HER!

Why doesn't he just like. move?

This must've been the craziest night for Rose. She met a witch and is now (in her eyes) responsible for her death

KITTY! So much pet lore this season

What??

Duke: :0

CAME TO HATCHETFIELD FROM WHERE?!?!???

Aww she keeps telling him even though she knows he'll never remember :(

Dude that's so much smoke!

HAILEY-

Wait why does she have honey for that?

Ted let me see you be kinder to your brother first and then we'll see about your own kids

POTSEED!!

THRASH IS SO FUNNY! I LOVE HIM AND COURTNEY! I LOVE THEIR VOICES!

Kale kinda cute ngl

Yes 👏👏 the character arc we needed. They're done being try-hard edgelords

Kale does not seem like he's strong enough to punch her that hard. Did the killer track give you super strength? I'm guessing since he also knocked out the audio guy

Skud looks like he has no idea what's going on (and tbf no one does). Thrash is stressed out of his mind. Needy Beast is funny

This music video is so great!!!!!

Noooo I don't want Kale to die :( I wanted him to get help!!

Rose: 👁👄👁

Holloway!!! Letting him have his moment of glory

This is SO. TRAGIC. Holloduke is tragic guys

Soooo what kind of potential do we have with Holloway Holiday working at Hannah's school?

I LOVE THIS VERSION OF THE THEME SO MUCH! I recorded the end of it back in November and I love listening to it every once in a while. The. Vibes. Also Irish Becky is back!

[trulyreanimated]

cats is a musical

Nightmare Time 2 Episode 2 Thoughts

Can I just say that I love the 8-bit versions of songs. Jane's A Car sounds so good in 8-bit

Woah woah woah wait. What was that? Why was Homeless Guy in the intro? Is that important? Does that mean anything? I mean Ted was in the episode but still

EMMA!!!! I missed her so much. And she's living her dream good for her

And she sounded super southern just now. Ma'am you live in Michigan

AND ZIGGS!!!! Oh I love them. Please be my friend

Oh we're meeting Grace now? She's not what I expected. And I don't mean because she's played by Angela. I didn't expect her to actually be a nerdy prude I thought Alice was just being mean

Potte Hottay!!!!!!

DADDY?!??! IS THAT THE DADDY WE'VE HEARD ABOUT!??!?! IS HE GONNA GET US- oh nevermind mind he's dead. At least we got another Dylan Dad™️ out of it

OH Bob is saying the the thing!!! The thing the guy that tried to kill Willabella/Hannah said. The "The innocent must suffer" thing

TIG OL BITTIES!! I really hope someone recreates their painting

Emma had a dog quick right that down right that down

OMG Emma and Ziggs were about to go turned into tree people

"You have a fixation with fecal matter and I have had it up to here with you!" I'm sorry W H A T

I knew this would happen. Nick and Matt "Look at the cute Paulkins wedding this is definitely all the episode is" Lang. Of course we can't trust the synopsis. Of course the nighthawks are telepathic now

Ezekiel and the rest of the birds are terrifying

Please let Ziggy go to the bathroom. Did they make Emma poop outside too?! Going to the bathroom will not take that long I promise

Please let them get food they don't want your vomit. Ziggs is vegan they can't even eat that. Ezekiel is really stupid. If you would let them live their lives normally then you would have no reason to fear them getting help. They were going to continue growing weed anyway and I don't believe you need that much

AND you're making them sleep in the barn. Their growing the weed FOR YOU!! They were fine to continue doing so. What are you treating them like this for

"And let this man take our weed?! Issac, never speak to me again." ok so Ezekiel is growing on me

The other nighthawks should unionize

Reason #1852 I relate so much to Emma. Of course she's had her final words picked out since high school. I've been thinking about what mine would be for the past few years. I have a few ideas

I love Emma and Ziggy's dynamic. They are buddies. I'm so glad Emma has a friend it's what she deserves

Just when you think Emma might actually get her happy ending, she gets arrested. Why can't she be happy

That video was definitely made by the the Smoke Club teens what is even happening

OH this video. This is so sexy. Corey and Bryce sound amazing and this song is great. Rip Curt and Kim campers

THE MAYOR!?! I didn't think we would ever meet him. Hello

Their names are Mary and Noah I can't

HCB NED PETER SPANKOFFSKI <3333

Grace sweetie you did not need to tell everyone. I appreciate you trying to help but you could have at least asked Steph if she had a plan

Jerry and Jeri I love you!! And their song is so good. This camp has their own record company omg. Them ripping their shirts to reveal the same shirt underneath asdfghjkl

Oh they horny

Are you trying to kill him?!? He told you his blood sugar was low let him have his chocolate. I hate you Corey counselor. Die

That was on a school test?!? How many people did that go through without anyone seeing anything wrong

Steph and Pete are really cute omg. Peter is not at all what I expected. Like he is nerdy but he definitely is Ted's brother. He horny. But also he's not obnoxious like I thought he would be. He's so sweet and chill. He's cool and I like him. Nick did so good

Oh no Gabe is gross I thought he was chill. I wonder if he was only protesting with Grace just to get her to bang him

The lumber-axe puppet looks so cool!!! I love the eye

Grace only showers in a bathing suit? Gabe I don't think you would have wanted to do her

I LOVE that Peter is canonically jacked. This dude is not at all what I expected

Woah woah guys the other campers have to use the showers don't be gross

Noooooooooo not Noah and Mary!!! They were so young!! So pure!! The lumber-axe has no mercy

Of course Ted got put in solidarity confinement. And of course he snuck a p/rn magazine in there. It's cute that Pete found it an felt his brother was with him

Angela's screams!!

He's getting defeated by a p/rn magazine I seriously can't. Thank you Ted?

They let Jon go feral again yay!! I love it when this happens. Jerry is insane and I love it

Woah plot twist Little Jerri (that's how I choose to believe its spelled. A combo of their spellings)

I feel so bad for Jeri. She didn't deserve any of this

Um so is Grace camp director now? Also is she the new lumber-axe? Good for her I think

COREY YOU CAN'T JUST SAY BILL IS IN LOVE WITH TED AND BE ON YOUR WAY WHAT

[melchron]

Nightmare Time 2 Episode 4 Thoughts

So the rumors were true? Mac cameo!! It gives me hope that we'll see him again. Which I'm so glad because Nick made it seem like we would never see him again in the season 1 talkback

Yellow Jacket slaps new favorite Angela song

I'm coming up to Hatchetfield High just to fight Brad (and maybe say hi to the shop teacher and guidance counselor)

LAUREN AS HANNAH!!!! SHE DID SO GOOD!!!!

Also I think her playing Hannah was the best for this specific story. All of the other teens were played by people way older than Kendall and it might have been distracting. But I do still hope Kendall returns for future stories

STEPH!!! She stood up for Hannah and tried to help her. People shouldn't treat her like she's some delinquent child. She's a decent person who just takes part in irresponsible activities

Hi Tom HI I miss you love you bye

Woah we're getting a real look at what Hannah's visions are like. This poor girl imagine getting a random vision of someone dying in the middle of class and then just having to function normally the rest of the day

Hi Becky Hi I miss you love you bye

I feel sooo bad for Lex. She really is in such a tough spot. Girl take my money I don't have to pay rent yet

JOEY AS ETHAN!!!! HE DID SO GOOD!!!!

Also I find it kinda cool that they had an actual Italian play Ethan

Webster's back! The slumber party with multiple hers was so cute. More fun Webby please

Hannah's birthday is October 5th quick write that down WRITE THAT DOWN

Big Brother Ethan™️ is what I live for!!! This is the Ethan I like. Actually through this whole episode I really really liked him. I had only really cared for fanon Ethan before but now I want to hug this guy

Eddie is exactly what I thought he would be and I love him

Stopwatch/Daniel is a cutie and his power is so cool

During the fight did anyone else think that Hannah could hear Nick narrating for a second? I was about to scream

I am so so thankful for the direction they took Spitfire/Sofia. I really did not want one of the 2 black female characters we have so be this aggressive violent jerk. The wave of relief that came over me when she started being nice to Hannah

Hannah has more friends I am so happy for her

Ok yay Lex does get a moment of happiness in this episode. She really needed a break

AND SHE KNEW WEBBY WHAT

Soo Charles is scary. Dude for has a lord in black winning him money in fights. Pokey Otho isn't at his full power here but he's still very powerful. And Charlie is threatening HIS life

Nick did such a good job with Pokey especially his eyes. I do wish he spoke in uwu though

Guys Ethan is so soft this episode I can't handle it. Him trying to propose 🥺🥺

Unimportant but Corey is playing a lot of very enthusiastic audience members this season

I love the CaliforMIA trio so much. They will all do anything in their power to keep their family safe and happy. They just care about each other so much

I was absolutely loosing it whenever tgwdlm music started playing

When the Pokey dolls showed up my first thought was "Is this loser really stealing his brother's plan? Please that was so 2 years ago."

Lex is taking in all of this information very well

When it said she felt something with a trigger I thought Mac was giving her a gun 😭😭

That end was so melancholy. Glad no one I wanted to live died. Everyone is sad though so :(

Next Time is so pretty. Yesss my friends I will find in the next reset I promise

Nightmare Time 2 Episode 1 Thoughts

AAAAAHHHH ITS FINALLY HERE

AND UPDATED INTRO!! Bryce and Jae sound so good!!!! And Jeff's new parts are also super good

The BOYS!!!!

Oh no they suck actually

Not you River you're an angel

Trent sucks but I was actually scared for him. Linda has some interesting parenting methods

MURRAY

The excitement is over Linda's maiden name and not her father. He sucks. Worse than her. No wonder she turned out like THAT. Why would you make fun of your child's physical appearance what is wrong with you?!?!? DIE

Gerald is an amazing husband and I love him. Love that he's not really evil he just loves his wife so much that he just became evil for her

He could be a better dad though TAKE YOUR 6YO TO THE BATHROOM!! He's literally 6 he could get lost or kidnapped

I was Team Zoey going into this my mind has very much so been changed

Zachary I'm so sorry she outed you to your homophobic grandmother and got you taken out of the will. Josh probably never even liked her (as a person I mean)

The way Linda got everyone out of the competition was super creative actually. That was really fun to watch

NICK AS HIDGENS NICK AS HIDGENS!!!! He did so good bringing the spirit of the character. It's different but a welcome change

Zoey fr told Sam to kill her grandmother HOW ARE THEY BOTH SO CHILL WITH THIS?!?!?!

Ok not to say anything remotely positive about Sam but he was really supportive of Zoey throughout the whole thing. He was ride or die literally. Even after she croaked on stage he immediately thought of a new way for her to get trending. Ugh this feels weird. Must be negative. Um uh wish he would treat Charlotte like this. God he's the worst

HOMELESS GUY

Latte Hotte is a bop. AND we got a Paul cameo out of it

Can everyone please be nice to Obnoxious Teen he's just doing his job

Oh ok Hatchetfield hates Clivesdale fr fr. That poor woman got shunned by society. They were ready to crown Zoey on the the spot for that one insult. Paul especially was digging into them

Hidgens carrying Linda through the qna was so funny omg. Shame he didn't get his money though. Now we'll never see Workin Boys

Queen Bee is such a bop. Lauren, Jeff, and Corey went all out with that one

RIVER NOOO

THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING

None of this would have happened if Gerald had taken his 6 year old child to the bathroom like a good parent. Now look at you. Your son's kidnapper is dead but so are you. Idiot

Gerald and Linda are so freaking cute though. Power couple. I almost forgot she's cheating on him. Literally why would she do that?!??! He's so perfect for her

So did no one notice Linda's messed up hand or

The drive to the Witchwood was so eerie. Roman was so creepy

Oooo the pig stuff was so gross and cool. I loved the graphic description. I love how they all formed Nibbly. I love that we're finally seeing Nibbly too

NIBBLY SNIGGLES!! I think its a rule that James and Curt have to play sniggles

USE THE CODE "CRAFTCLASS" TO GET 100% OFF RIGHT NOW THEY'RE FLYING OFF THE SHELVES

VHS Christmas Carol Live Thoughts

OMGGGGGG STARKID LIVE AND ON STAGE TOGETHER AGAIN AAAAAAHHHHH

They let more people sing different parts of Bah Humbug and omg that's great

We get more harmonies!!

JANAYA

Scrooge, Fredge's nephew

Fred teasing his uncle is so cute!!

Sorry still screaming about people singing different parts

They way I almost forgot the interlude into 3 Spirits. As soon as it started I was smiling so hard (harder than I already was). I forgot how much I loved that and it was so much more epic this time

Scrooge and Marley's interactions are so funny. They are so annoyed with each other. Jacob is questioning why he's even helping this guy

WOOOO WOOOOO THE GHOSTS LETS GOOOOOOO

I don't remember every interlude from last year but I believe all (or at least most of them) are new and I'm obsessed. Especially for the ghosts intros

I am OBSESSED what they did with Christmas Past. They added so much to her character through little things. The way she teases Scrooge about being uncomfortable with his past. The way she's so eager to move on after each scene. When she pulls the cigarette showing her working out is mostly for show because pleasure over health. I love her. She's so shady

JANAYA!!!!!!

That Scrooge hits so much harder seeing Scrooge and Belle interact. She loved him and you can see it

When Brian came in for the interlude I absolutely lost it

HIS INTRO IS SO EPIC EVERYTHING IT SHOULD BE WHAT HE DESERVES

I was watching with my mom and I kept saying "Here comes the boy!!!"

I'm not really a fan of the wig. LOVING his light up shoes. It's what he deserves. Those shoes are everything I want for him

THEY LET JAMES HAVE A DANCE BREAK OMGGGGGG

AND THEY ADDED MORE CHOREO THAT YOU KNOW IM LEARNING

SCREAMING AND CRYING CHRISTMAS PRESENT I LOVE YOU I WANT TO JOIN THE PARTY

We got drunk Scrooge good for us

Oh woah we got way more kids than last year

JOEY CARRYING BRIAN OMG

Bob and Emily are so incredibly in love and you can feel it. The way they look at each other 🥺🥺. They deserve everything

When they started encouraging the audience to clap along !!!! Yes being together really is a treasure excuse me while I ball my eyes out

I don't feel so good-

Shout out to that moment in Final Ghost where they had AJ play unnamed Brian character's partner instead of Meredith

THAT JACKET REVEAL

OMG ALI

Scrooge is vibing so hard that man really is drunk with joy

I believe Fred forgiving Scrooge so much more this time. Last year I got the vibes that Fred only really talked to Scrooge because he's family. This time I got the vibes that he actually really loves and cares for his uncle and has just learned to deal with his grumpiness. I'm happy Scrooge is finally reciprocating that love

Bob and Scrooge's hug 🥺🥺 I am being so normal about this right now

Yes yes starkid I will spread the Christmas electricity. I don't celebrate Christmas but that won't stop me

ALSO the lighting was AMAZING

I thought with it being live it would loose the music video feeling but no. The screen in the back was great

These extra bits of choreo. I need to learn this before my ticket expires. They looks so fun

I loved this so so so much I'm about to rewatch it right now

[melchron]

Starkid 2009: Here's a nice Joey and Lauren duet. This probably won't happen ever again. I mean it's not like anyone really wants it anyway.

Us: WE LOVE THIS PLEASE LET THEM SING TOGETHER ALL THE TIME!!!

Starkid 2009-2019: Well since Joey and Lauren have this one duet I guess they'll just sing this at every concert we do. No one's really cares if they have another duet so we'll keep doing this.

Us: PLEASE WE ARE STARVING!! GIVE US NOURISHMENT!! LET THEM DUET AGAIN!!

Starkid 2020: What if we gave them two duets just because? And one was a love duet? What if we did that?

Us: *deceased*

When your brother tries to comfort your girlfriend by telling her he loves her
