Emma: ...
Paul: Ha, I mean.. There's just no light or anything!
Emma: *Sigh* Do you wanna hold my hand?
Paul: .. yes please.

“hold this for me”
i’d simply die if joey gave me an apple

that’s called daddy issues-

i love the song ‘la dee dah dah day’ it’s just so weird yk???

It’s just that I really love Jeff as General McNamra
I know we’re all talking about this clip BUT I NEED TO FUCKING TALK ABOUT THIS CLIP
ITS SOOOOO FUCKING GOOD I LOVE JON MATTESON SO MUCH AND WILL BRANNER EATS THOSE NOTES UP
The fucking switch from the super loud and emotionally intense I’M NOT A LOSER to the fucking tiny please don’t kill me is so fucked up i love it
I’ve not shut the fuck up about this specific scene for like two other posts but I felt the need to actually post the clip
Also it is hot that he immediately starts repeating it just because he’s told to by a dominant force, let alone the person who’s about to murder him and I’m tired of pretending it’s not- sue me I don’t make the rules I just love pathetic men
I’m not seeing enough people talk about Nerdy Prudes Must Die. Like, the song. Jon’s and Will’s performance there.
With each Hatchetfield musical, I’ve been able to pinpoint when I got the “oh fuck” horror-feeling. The moment where I actually felt like what I was watching was horror. “Nerdy Prudes Must Die” was that moment for me in NPMD.
Jon’s acting was phenomenal. Not just his body acting, but the way he literally convinced me he was a terrified kid. A terrified kid faced with the consequences of his peer-pressured actions, who only just started experiencing being liked and valued as who he is, and the realization that he’s going to be murdered and can’t escape it. The way he ran and crawled and begged.
“Please, nonononono, Max, please.”
And something about him begging for his life while his friends and classmates loomed in darkness in the background hit me hard, too.
The entire aura of the song was just sinister despite the few jokes it had and Max being, well, Max. Will’s acting went hard, too. Especially during the “will you pray for me” bit, where he looked borderline sympathetic towards Ritchie but in such a disingenuous way.
Not to mention the song fucking slaps.
This was all jumbled, but something something- sitting there and watching this kid run and fight and beg for his life, knowing the thing coming after him won’t stop no matter what and is incapable of reason, and being unable to do anything but let it happen got to me.
okay but starkid really made npmd and put it out there for FREE. jon matteson really sang “i’m not a loser” with his whole chest only to be told that he still lost and created one of the most emotionally devastating moments of cinema and they put it up for FREE
Compulsory Jon Matteson appreciation post ‼️
here’s a few sketches of some of his characters I made for stickers!! :)

Nick mentioned in the commentary that Ruth was like saying things under her breath and now when i rewatch these scenes i watch her haha
This is where he pointed it out. You can see shes certainly mouthing something

Ruth has got shit to say and not a lot of courage to do so



And heres a few little mannerisms from the digital ticket. I love her and richies friendship
