I love how Black Friday kinda confirms that Gary Goldstein didn't actually fall for Wiggly and just wanted to join in when at the end he leaves the Wiggly cult and doesn't get burned with them. Only he and Charlotte get out, Charlotte because she had the hat on and Gary because he was just kinda there for the fun but it wasn't getting really fun anymore :(
I love the headcanon that Gary Goldstein didn’t want a Wiggly but just wanted to be a part of something so he joined the cult and then wore the tie around his head to fit in better
CUNO – "Fuck does Cuno care?" The boy turns to you. (He doesn't care.)
Gary Goldstein (Black Friday)
he’s a lawyer and that must be the only thing in his brain because he gets kneed and goes “right int eh subpoena”. this was when he and other waited in line for a doll that unknowingly was the host for an ancient being that prayed on fear and sadness and had one of his clients threaten the store owner with his lawyer. this was the second time he was called up to threaten and the first was by the woman he was having an affair with (who knees him). he tries to buy the doll ($49.95) with coupons but it doesn’t work. hell breaks lose and everyone falls under wigglys spell and he kills a guy and joins the wiggly cult. he was the only one that cared about the aesthetic of it thought —he ties his tie around his head. also after the woman he was having an affair with died he spends like a few second grieving and then calls her husband to talk about the will
Gary Goldstein is his own lawyer and has full two sided conversations with himself in court and the judge let’s it happen I will not be taking critism thank you
#3 "it's 3 in the morning" with Gary Goldstein and man in a hurry?
Note: I’m using @ethan---green’s headcanoned name for MiaH, Joel Leeson. thanks for letting me use it, dude!! :))
Gary Goldstein couldn’t sleep.
He had to finish this case, absolutely had to, there was no way around it. He would defend his client no matter what.
But damn, sometimes she made it really fucking hard.
“I hate Linda Monroe.” Gary groaned, leaning his head on his hands. “Fuck.”
“Gare?”
A sleepy mumble came from the doorway to his office, and Gary turned around to see his husband, wearing one of his old hoodies from college.
“Gary, it’s three in the morning.” Joel said, walking over to him and resting his hands on Gary’s shoulders. He massaged the tense muscles lightly, leaning down to kiss his husband. “Come back to bed.”
“I’ve gotta finish this work.” Gary insisted, but Joel spun his rolling chair around and knelt down so that they were more or less at eye level.
Joel sighed softly, and offered a hand to Gary, who took it. “Come to bed, baby. It’s late.”
“Or early.”
Joel cracked a smile, but Gary stood, pulling Joel in for a hug. The attorney was shorter than his husband, his head only reaching a little below his neck, so Gary tucked his head under Joel’s chin—his favorite place.
More observations from rewatching Black Friday with Gary Goldstein attorney-at-paw
Because of course my baby would pick Black Friday to watch today
Linda’s line-cutting game is weak. Curt’s character just let Tom cut in front of him after hours and hours of waiting, for free just because he’s the biggest Barneston shipper. I mean, look at that face. He holds that face for the entirety of the first stanzas of “What Do You Say”
Jeff’s MIAH voice (especially during the bidding) is the same as his radio announcer voice (the one Paul and Emma were listening to in the beginning with all the ads)
Love how Jon is almost constantly crouching because he’s trying to be the same height as everyone else
Wiggly got the idea to use Ethan because he also saw Ethan die through the doll Becky was carrying in that scene
Gary puppy normally hates cops and the military but he does not hate McNamara. Yay!
Gary puppy also hated Curt in SAF but not in BF
That one person absolutely shrieking when Dylan’s flannel came off
Corey didn’t get as much screen time as he deserved
Okay but what if Wiggly just took control and compelled one of the 849 people who escaped the mall before shit went down, to bring the doll to Linda? Or why did the cult confine the search to the mall when there were 849 people anywhere in Hatchetfield with a doll, why not go after them for more chances of winning?
… Wait. Ohhhhh. It’s a reference to the lost sheep parable in the Bible. The one where a shepherd goes through great lengths to bring home his one missing sheep despite having a lot more left at his home.
The way Tom said “NOW GIMME THAT FUCKING DOLL” to Hannah was exactly the same as when MIAH said it to Tom.
I’m amazed at how Lauren doesn’t mess up her makeup between quick changes. Especially since doing quick changes into white clothes while wearing makeup requires a special amount of care.
Dylan’s the only one in the cast playing just one character throughout the whole thing
Papa Ed checking on Peanuts in his pocket towards the end of “What If Tomorrow Comes”
So I asked my friends who don’t watch starkid to describe some of the characters and to give them names. Here’s some of their responses:
I got this idea from @the-girl-who-liked-musicals
Daniel
Professional ribbon twirler for beauty pageants
Chad
Football version of Troy Bolton (okay but get rid of the football part and she’s not wrong)
He likes to sing but is afraid people will judge him
The naked guys name is Sheldon and this is the adult version of Harry Potter where is “friend” (aka knockoff Ron names Josh) is teaching him how to fly a broom
A knock off Hermione and her friends are watching in the background (their names are probably Sarah, K8lynn, and Becca)
This basically looks like the teenage version of the guy from Stuart Little
He’s probably just some nerd at school named Albert who gets made fun of but he ends up being a hero/well liked by everyone in the end (I hope that’s true after NPMD)
Or he’s just some annoying kid that’s obsessed with trains like the kid from Polar Express - Eddie Deezen
Riley
Hates her job but needs money (accurate) because of something she did
She’s the type of person to drag her friends into her problems so her supportive guy friend is just there watching her telling a customer to f*ck off because the customer was either annoying or trying to flirt with her
The guy friend is working there with her, that’s how he’s dragged along
Billy
Funny guy of the group
Probably the type of guy that tries to pick up girls but respects them if they say they aren’t interested
He’s obviously a cowboy but he’s probably not the best at it (he’s trying his best)
Zoe (Jemilla) and Maddy (Zazz)
Maddy is the type of friend that cheers Zoe up or say something positive
Based on musicals they probably broke out in a song
Sharon
Looks like she’s a werewolf
She’s probably the type of person who can’t control her powers so she asks her friends to tie her up but she goes rogue
Werewolf > real answer
Sharon
Professional dancer. Probably does ballet to the swan lake song
Looks like the type of person who might be shy but is passionate about whatever it is she does
After telling her what Chorn is, she said “aliens are better than werewolves”
Literally just reminds me of a game show host - probably family feud or something
Isaac
No one is taking him or his game show seriously
Probably just shaking his head whenever someone replies with something stupid
Brian (wrong Tin Can Bro)
Poor kid that gets dragged into everything
Somehow people convinced him to wear a lobster suit and he’s not having it
Logan but he calls himself Lucy in this outfit
When senior guys wear dresses on the last day of school/picture day and everyone laughs along
Or he’s pretending he’s his mom for a parent meeting regarding his younger brothers bad behavior
This is definitely Jafar from Aladdin, right? (right musical, wrong character)
How is this NOT Aladdin
They are definitely singing a whole new world
After I said that this was a Wicked/Aladdin parody she said that this makes sense. Then I said who these characters actually are but at least she got the right musical ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rachel
Type of person who doesn’t give a sh*t about anything
Not really sure why she’s wearing that because it looks like she’s wearing modern clothes and a cape that reminds her of Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty
So I couldn’t figure out which picture of Ethan to send cause I love him so I sent both of these pictures
Probably a Grease-like musical
A cool, rebellious high school student that ends up dating some girl (I mean...sorta...he’s a high school kid who dated Lex until he died)
This guy looks familiar, is he an actor? (Yes, but it was because of Cornwallis that Joey looked familiar)
David
Looks like some broke guy that lives in NYC that’s digging in his pockets to pay for food (change that to pay for a Wiggly and yup, that’s him)
And then finally....
Gideon
This is kinda like the equivalent of a white girl trying to be quirky by putting something on her head
Looks like a really good singer, but he kinda gives off a prideful, bossy vibe
Looks like he has a good sense of fashion
After I showed her the Cameo for the Gary Cult (please don’t share without my permission!) she said: That’s exactly how I pictured his voice
