My personal ranking of how hard the lords in black slap (in my opinion)
1. Blinky
We only got one NMT with him but MAN was it fucking TIGHT. Blinky has such a clear and coherent theme (watching) which gives him a degree of predictability, but it's tempered by the fact that that theme has so many different offshoots. Blinky's power manifests in spectacle, capitalist surveillance, paranoia about relationships and the resulting controlling behavior that comes from that, sexual threats, false selves, and each of those themes could have easily been a whole episode alone, but instead they were woven together so well! There's clearly so much to explore with him. Also the fact that he's based on the concept of an audience that prefers its characters interesting more than happy is. Well it could have been stupid but it WASN'T okay it WASN'T
2. Pokey
Man I'm a sucker for a hivemind. His biggest draw for me is, well, the implications. Pokey pulls off the "seems goofy, is actually horrifying" better than the other lords in black in my opinion, and not just because he was the first, but because his mere presence subverts the whole medium TGWDLM was made in, reframing ordinarily harmless scenes as horror. The loss of self is a very human fear to play on, and opens up the potential for so much delicious tragedy.
3. Wiggly
Coherent theme of greed. I like that he manifested more subtly than Pokey-- rather than taking people over, he preyed on urges they already had and redirected them to himself. (The fact that he was going to be summoned ruined that a little for me, but not terribly.) I also liked the stress that Wiggly didn't have to do a ton of work because of the fact that humans already fucked up their world. Made in America SLAPS man.
4. Nibbly
I mean, you can't go wrong with a hunger themed monster. Nibbly had a bit of the multifaceted theming Blinky did with physical hunger and a strong "hunger" or desire to win, but the fact that he was kept as a late reveal meant that couldn't be explored as much. Overall, Nibbly didn't seem to have a strong corrupting influence or even a will or desire to conquer humans-- Roman was the real villain, Nibbly just helped.
5. Tinky
What even is this guy's deal? Yes, I know that he's "the bastard of time and space" but what does that mean? Why do we only see him interacting with time and not space? His persona has some karmic aspects, since his one victim was revealed to have caused all his own problems with time travel, but it's not emphasized enough to make it a coherent theme. It seems like his main thing is being obsessed with a terrible man, which nearly every tumblrina manages without magic powers. I would still like to see him expanded on though.

@ whoever says you can't have pete and ted spankoffski on stage at once because they're both played by joey
first of all, this is nick lang pete erasure and i will not stand for it. please watch abstinence camp. nick's pete is such a funky little guy. we could easily have him and joey playing the brothers together
second of all, technically, they actually already have been on stage together at the same time. BEHOLD.

If you are still taking prompts how about something where homeless man Ted (who’s already been inside Tinky’s box) tries to keep his little brother safe? He’s seen every universe and it’s hard for him to know which one he’s currently in or what horrible thing is going to happen here. However, some part of him still recognises Pete from time to time and he doesn’t want the Lords in Black or the general weirdness of Hatchetfield to get his baby brother too.
My first fanfic on AO3!!! Thanks to @nuttersincorporated for the suggestion. Enjoy y'all!
(Also I'm still taking prompts if anyone wants to send me prompts)

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-”

Why is no one talking about how Grace said that the Waylon's built the Hatchetfield Gazette, which used to be where the CCRP office is now (the place Paul works at)...
Is the CCRP building a black altar??? I might have missed something in NPMD, but STILL

Imagine how sad it is that Jay doesn't even remember his parents, he doesn't know his own age, or his birthday. He's been all alone for years since he can't trust anyone enough with his secret and no one cares about anything but work. He's stuck in a job he hates but knows nothing else.
yeah, I have many thoughts about him…
Also go watch this video please it's literally Amnesiac Jay

So what if I want to headcanon Grace Chastity as queer because in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, Paul's coworker, Bill, tells his daughter Alice that he wished she would date someone like Grace Chastity (to which Alice replies that no way because Grace Chastity is a nerdy prude)

I can't believe there's two Joey Richter characters that are part of a doomed, tragic romance that ends with a person being killed by their partner AND who have a bond-esque motif associated with them. I also can't believe one of them is Ted Spankoffski.
