    I saw a comment on one of the nightmare time eps that the lords in black represent the five senses; wiggly is touch, blinky is sight, nibbly is taste, pokey is sound, tinky is smell… and that could imply that webby represents the sixth sense, intuition (she sees the future and feels the many worlds vibrate against her web). I dunno, I love this musical lore so much

      The only problem with that one is Tinky as smell as that doesn't really square in any way shape or form with anything we've seen Tinky ever do in nightmare time (everything we've seen or heard is about time, nothing to do with odors). The others fits fairly well.

    I find their names super interesting. I think Wiggly, Nibbly, and Blinky are super self-explanatory (It wiggles, it nibbles, and it blinks). Pokey is probably a shortening of Hokey Pokey, a song and dance where everyone must join in. Tinky probably comes from "Tinkerer," because that's how he's referred to in the Black Book.

    2: there could be MORE beings like this over there that can take the titles if the current lords were to ever actually be defeated or die
    3: THESE GUYS MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THE FIRST LORDS IN BLACK, AND THERE’S AN EQUAL CHANCE THAT THEY MAY NOT BE THE LAST

    I actually have a theory (that I don't believe in at ALL, completely untrue but fun to think about) is that Black Friday is a direct sequel to TGWDLM, happening maybe a few months apart (which is why everyone's still singing) and the whole thing is just Pokey making stories for his own amusement while Wiggly is trying to wrench control from him via the toys. A brothers' quarrel because Wiggly's a sore loser. Of course, that would make all of the characters' struggles completely meaningless, which is why it's most definitely not true.

      I actually wondered if some of them were almost a human equivalent of the lib if that makes sense. like they have similar traits to the human they torture.
      Paul is very uncompromising (like pokey) if he doesn’t want to see Mama Mia with his friend, he’s not going to. Nothings going to change his mind. Ted isn’t exactly sadistic like Tinky, he states the thing he loves “screwing around with another man’s wife” not just screwing around with a woman, but specifically another man’s wife. This would imply that he enjoys messing with peoples marriages and is probably entertained by this. As for Linda and nibbly, honey queen basically explains that she’s the hungriest (like nibbly) which is why nibbly chose her as his victim. The only one that doesn’t fit this pattern is bill and Blinky and maybe Hannah, if she’s wiggly’s victim.

      I just rewatched WatcherWorld an I think Blinkys human could possibly be Alice. While the episode focuses both on Bill and Alice there is more focus on her. We learn things about her character that we didn't know before, she’s afraid of heights, she’s an aspiring playwright, and most importantly, she’s trapped herself in an unhealthy relationship because her parents divorce has made her afraid of being like her dad and leaving a relationship. That last fact about her definitely makes her “someone worth watching”, and that’s the main reason I ruled out Bill. Bill, bless his heart, is incredibly boring. The most exciting part of his office job was refreshing a webpage to buy tickets to see Mama Mia with his daughter, Alice is the only thing that keeps his life a little bit interesting. Just like Linda I’m a little unsure about this one because we’ve never seen Blinky interact with another version of Alice.

    They’re not one-to-one with the Lovecraft creatures, but to my mind, it’s probably something like
    Wiggly - Cthulhu
    Tinkly - Nartelthotep
    Blinky - Azathoth
    Nibbly - Shub N (not spelling that one out)
    Pokey - Yog-Sothoth

    • @spiderFern
      @spiderFern Рік тому +21

      The only one I'd hesitate on here would be Azathoth, since in the Cthulhu mythos Azathoth is pretty much the one creating and keeping the universe existing by sheer virtue of being asleep and dreaming the whole thing up, so on a very different level, but if we're going solely based on Lovecraft's work I'd agree that'd be the entity closest. If we include the greater Cthulhu mythos, on the other hand, I'd say Hastur fits Blinky better what with the observing and wanting to have a show put on thing.
      (Oh, and on the issue with Shub that I will also not spell or say, I've always liked using Shub Nir'ath as a replacement)

    • @artemisfowldragon

      From what I know of tinky, he focuses on singular individuals, yeah? I’d say that pokey (hive mind?) is more akin to nyarlathotep, since he’s got a much broader sphere of influence and can hide his control very easily (as evidenced by Paul at the end of GWDLM). But I could certainly be wrong (though I did have to read.. . Pretty much everything about nyarlathotep for my bachelor’s thesis)
      I’d also say that given his title of “bastard of time and space” that Tinky suits Yog-Sothoth best, ironically enough, though Pokey *could* be a candidate for an azathoth figure at the end of it all, if he’s the only thing left (I.e really real), then him “waking up”/deciding to stop the musical could be equivalent to what happens if Azathoth should properly wake up. Then again, as Tinky seems to have a looooot of people suffering under him, he could potentially be a stand-in for the King in Yellow, with the Bastard Box serving as Carcossa, the realm over which he rules

    I wonder why they want to take over worlds in different dimensions? These seem like very powerful beings compared to humans, so why waste time with us? With Tinky and Blinky, it seems to be entertainment, and with Nibbly it's gluttony. (For Pokey, I can't say yet until I've watched Yellow Jacket). But Wiggly seems to be "king" -- why would he bother? Imagine being this vast, powerful being, thrilled with tearing open the guts of one human in one dimension. My theory is that the more human trauma they cause, the more powerful they become. Their main domain is the Black and White which is described as a "swirling sea of psychic energy," and it's in some form connected to all the Earthly realms. If, hypothetically, trauma and chaos increase psychic energy, the Lords in Black become more powerful. That's why, even if Wiggly didn't achieve world domination, he'd be down with starting WWIII. Or why at the end of PNMD, the Lords of Black ask for such low-collateral sacrifice (in comparison to the other atrocities they've committed in other realms), because the sacrifice causes the highest degree of trauma to the person who sacrifices. To what end do they want to be powerful though? I need to rewatch some Nightmare Time episodes, especially Yellow Jacket. What do y'all think?

      With NPMD, I like to think what they really wanted out of it was a capable pawn, with Grace going completely unhinged at the end. Especially since, when Wiggly says one of them has to give up what they cherish most, he looked directly at Grace. They were just toying with Steph and Peter, as a little freebie, which feels in-line with the human suffering-bit you're proposing, they relish and draw power from it AND gain a very useful pawn whose gonna be causing a lot of destruction and pain, while being under their command? Perfect.

And if you're concerned about chronology or continuity I wouldnt worry too much, since everything in the Hatchetfield Universe kind of stands on its own.

      @@TheWereW01f16 I don't think it's explicitly confirmed but it's heavily hinted at with pokey being designed with the blue goop dripping out and the events that take place with otho and the meteor in yellow jacket, Plus now with the npmd release and him making a reference to tgwdlm in the summoning. I feel like it's safe to say that he is

      I'VE BEEN SAYING THISSSS
      Nibbly is a fun take on the Flesh imo, I don't even have to say with Blinky, both him and Tinky seem very Spiral connected, End stuff is debatable, Web is also extremely there, Pokey and Wiggly seem the least similar but I'm a new fan. *edit, Pokey is also superficially Stranger in the way Nikola is, and now I'm imagining a crossover fanart with specifically Paul and Tim.
      Not to say anyone ripped off or even inspired each other, sometimes good ideas just happen in two people's heads and one of them publishes their ideas first!

      Oooh, my guess would be either to show how you summon the dark lords (like we see in The Summoning), or perhaps a sacrifice?
      Because of the hair, and how quickly Miss Holloway turns the page, I'm curious if this depicts her summoning the lords to make the bargain of giving her immortal life.

    • @simmy0019
      @simmy0019 Рік тому +20

      They all play roles in different episodes, roughly as follows:
      Blinky - Watcher World
      Pokey - Yellow Jacket
      Nibbly - Honey Queen
      Tinky - Time Bastard
      And then Wiggly has Black Friday
