both the ending of TGWDLM and Black Friday rely on us trusting that this newcomer who hasn't sung yet in the whole show can sing really fucking good. And then it works because they do
4 years ago today, 10niversary backers tier $25 and up had the delightful realisation, while listening to the Black Friday scratch tracks, that there was an entire cut subplot where Howard Goodman was meant to be Wilbur Cross’ son. And every single day I am glad the made in America scratch track never made it to the Final Cut because what the actual fuck
During The Summoning all the Lords in Black look so happy to be there except for Wiggly. And I just love that because in almost every shot he looks SO PISSED OFF. You can almost hear him thinking “oh my me, why the fuck am I here, and with my brothers no less?” and “‘Are you the Lords in Black’, no we’re the fucking milkman, yes we’re the Lords in Black get some common sense! We travelled very far to get here for your teenage bullshit so out with it!” and “‘Can you help us?’ that’s the basic rules of a summoning you stupid bitch of course we’re helping you! Humans these days, I swear to me…” The humans aren’t worshipping him so he isn’t even pretending to be the charming children’s toy type being he was in Black Friday, he’s just going through the motions until he can leave 🤣.
I love the fact that Jon Matteson treats Wiggly like a pet because he's setting a precedent for every other Hatchetfield fan. It's like we see this eldritch horror but then Jon goes "aww he's just my little guy" and then we all go "yeah just a little guy" completely disregarding the fact that this "little guy" nuked Russia.
Say what you want about The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals and Black Friday but Nerdy Prudes Must Die is truly the darkest timeline because it doesn't feature Peanuts the Hatchetfield Pocket Squirrel™️
