[teamstarkid-polls]

you. no need to run away, you little runaway, cause the nightmare time poll will get you soon!

this poll will consist of three rounds, in which all twelve official nightmare episodes compete to see which we, the fans, consider to be the best!

(sadly, because it’s not an official episode and it would unbalance the bracket, “Hey, Melissa!” will not be included)

the battle pairings for Round 1 were picked randomly, and are as follows:

Forever and Always vs. Killer Track

Time Bastard vs. Abstinence Camp

Watcher World vs. Honey Queen

Yellow Jacket vs. Daddy

Hatchetfield Ape-Man vs. The Witch in the Web

Jane’s a Car vs. Perky’s Buds

while voting, I ask that everyone consider the quality of the writing and acting in each, and whether the episode is OBJECTIVELY good. don’t impulse vote for your favourite!

the tournament will begin today, January 15th, at 5pm EST.

They may have founded Hatchetfield, but it’s the Church of the Starry Children who made it what it is.

So I have SO MANY thoughts about Frank Price after Daddy!!!

Daddy completely recontextualizes Frank's character in Black Friday.

And it made me realize that Frank isn't affected by the dolls like all of the other adults in the mall are. Like Lex, he only wants the dolls to SELL. He doesn't care about Wiggly, he just wants the money to keep his dream -- Toy Zone -- alive. It parallels Lex so beautifully. Lex wants the doll to sell so she can bring her dream -- California -- to life.

I think the reason that Wiggly doesn't affect Frank like the other adults at the mall is because he's young at heart. He and Lex are really great foils for each other.

Who would win:

- the economic and cultural factors leading to the prevalence of online shopping and the decline of malls and other in-person retail

- a absolutely loaded milf and her toy obsessed middle aged son

Main-line Hatchetfield shows: “This person is terrible. Completely and utterly repugnant. A puppy-kicker to the highest degree”

Nightmare Time: “So anyway, here's their tragic backstory-”

gentle mornings

#alternatively titled - when your papas have the audacity to cuddle without you #kazurei #buddy daddies #i like to think they didnt really do cuddles much except when rei has a rough night and kazukis warmth and safety is the only thing that #can let him get rid of the anxiety and nightmares #he wouldnt ask for it #it would be kazuki dragging him to bed at first #rei reluctantly but in his weakened will the times hes slept together with miri and kazuki has been the times hes somehow always #managed to go out like a light as soon as his head hits the pillow #even he himself doesnt understand and he doesnt attempt to and he doesnt realise #that its safety and warmth and protection and peace #and thats the only reason he would let himself be dragged to bed #but #eventually when you have had the taste of something so good in the place of chilling nightmares and restless darkness that feels no less #safer than the light #your heart becomes indulgent #and rei will gently and wordlessly ask for an invite to the warmth again #its fulfilling and blissful when the three of them are together #but with just kazukis body enveloping him against the night its a different kind of comfort. even in his sleep he would clutch onto it #thats a tangent right there huh.....anyway. miri would be absolutely betrayed in the morning when she finds them snuggled up #she gets her cuddle time with her papas too then #one big pile of a warm and happy family #yes this is pre relationship yes they would do that yes it is possible #if you got this far thanks i guess jajdjfjs ill hopefully colour this soon but i dont know really so im putting it up here #my art

Real talk, I think Frank Pricely is a genuinely really interesting character.

So when we meet him in Black Friday, he is basically a cartoon capitalist supervillain. He's obsessing over money, he is condescending to Lex, and we get the impression that he's Mr. Krabs level of money-grubbing shitty boss. He gets a whole song where he revels in how much money he's going to make, and shows ambivalence to how dangerous black friday shopping can be. Then Feast or Famine happens, and something... changes. There's a visible shift on stage when he and the audience realize that he is no longer in control that's genuinely really eerie. Put a pin in that, cuz I'm gonna come back to it.

When when we're introduced to him in "Daddy", we get a much more complete image of who he is as a character. It's not that he's not a greedy and condescending person, because he definitely is, but that's not the foundation of his character. When we see Toy Zone outside of Black Friday, we see that it's a struggling small business, and a genuine passion project for Frank. It's not that Toy Zone is a means for financial success, but financial success is a means to keep Toy Zone operational.

Then there's his relationship with Lex. He's definitely snarky and condescending, but he also actually cares about her, and sees himself as a parental figure to her. He gives her advice that he feels is in her best interest, and shows her a lot of the "tough love" that he thinks Sheila should be showing Sherman. Lex is even one of the people he says sorry too when he's about to die, because he worries that he failed her. While I do think Lex has some level of respect for him, I never really get the vibe that she sees him this way; she seems to think of him as more of a hard ass, and she would absolutely leave Toy Zone the minute a better opportunity comes up. Her job at Toy Zone for her is more about her need to take care of her family. And this is significant, because Frank is a very lonely person. After his dog Buddy dies, he has no family left. He reminisces on his parents, who didn't support his passions. He thinks of himself as a father figure to Lex, because he has nobody else left in his life. I'm not necessarily saying that he's a good parental figure to Lex, he can be pretty selfish, and even denied her for a raise once he could afford it, knowing she damn well needs the money. It's clear though, that he's trying to look out for her more than her actual mother (low bar as it may be), and on some level, he does think he's helping her. Because she's all he has. Her and Toy Zone, and he's about to lose that too.

This is why Sheila is so appealing to him. She represents not only financial stability, but a chance to not be alone. He doesn't love her, and I think he knows it, but he could learn to love her. He could have love and money, and if that doesn't work out, at least he'd have money. That's what he thinks anyway. But again, he's not the one with the power.

When we first see him in Black Friday, we initially think Frank represents the corporations, but he doesn't. He's a small business owner, and can only support his passion by participating in capitalism. He is a retailer, not a CEO. And that's what puts him in so much danger in Black Friday. Capitalism treats him as disposable. And that's how he dies. Frank was just as much under Wiggly's influence as anyone else. He lived a lonely life, and the business he's prioritized over forming any lasting bonds with other people is about to go down the toilet. Then this little green doll comes along that's supposed to fix everything. He doesn't want to keep the Wiggly dolls, but he still thinks they're going to fix the holes. And once he's served his purpose, Wiggly disposes of him. And that's what Sheila tries to do, too. The only reason he survives in Daddy is that Sherman decides he still has value. It's honestly really haunting how these stories mirror each other.

thinking about frank pricely and lex foster’s father-daughter-y frenemy-y relationship again

the scene in daddy when frank is genuinely heartbroken by lex applying for a second job and lex jokes with him about him applying for manager at best buy like. what a perfect establishment of their dynamic when it’s not a high stress work environment. they’re both so reluctantly fond of each other I love it

#I’m rewatching daddy #frank pricely #lex foster #black Friday #nightmare time #starkid #Hatchetfield

[poisonheartfrog]

Frank is ignoring a flag store’s worth of red flags for a sugar mommy, and honestly, I get it

Becky Barnes' cameo in Daddy is one of the funniest cameos in the series actually

"this is the pediatric wing and he's a grown-ass man"

Becky be sassy more I'm begging you-
