Sm Rick - Tumblr Posts

You know, I was looking at the Halloween drawing and comparing it to the new one when I had a horrifying realization.

In both images Roy seems uncomfortable with being in a proper costume, but has no issue "making" a generic (and non horror adjacent) costume in Tender Treats.

I tried to figure out why when I remembered that specific costumes, usually with some morbid/horror twist, are sometimes used in roleplay which coupled with Roy's trauma would explain his aversion to traditional Halloween costumes and for the holiday in general, which could be a great parallel between him and the spookies.

(Also the ghost on the right in this year's image is meant to represent Dexter, you can tell by the mis-matchd eyes)

Regarding Rick in the cult, something that might be interesting in that context is a cut scene Pelo mentioned for SM4 -- there was supposed to be a scene before Skid and Pump leave the theater and ask Radford where the doll went, with Rick being completely absent

Now obviously he left because he quit, but it's convenient he's absent when the two come in to ask about a possessed doll

Oh my Eyes, thanks for this info! I vaguely remember seeing something about that scene but forgot Rick wasn't in it. Another example of Rick's presence within scenes being weirdly specific.

Really curios to see him in SM6, especially since we'll likely get his first on-screen interaction with John and Jack. I think the way he interacts with them will have a major impact on how likely this theory is.

Yeah yea, it'll definitely be something

Something I also thing could be interesting with this theory is that Rick worked at the post office in between SM4 and SM5, according to those Mother's Day and Father's Day illustrations Pelo made last year

Yeah, iirc that's where his last name was revealed.

Pretty sure you mentioned this before at some point, but I think it's kind of weird that Roy Against Society is basically the only fanwork that plays with the cultist Rick idea.

Yeah!

Roy Against Society is a really good fic tbh, I love how it uses the characters

Esp with Rick (spoilers if you haven't read it): He used Roy's uncle dying as a way to finally escape the cult and had been changing jobs so much in an effort to lose their trail, but he knew he was only delaying the inevitable before they found him. Really interesting interpretation of his character

Yeah, I've read it, really solid character work all around.

Honestly, these smaller theories and discussions only make me more hyped for episode 6, can't wait for January!

Theorizing about the SM6 character teaser

So for those who don't know, this post teasing 3 new characters was posted to the SM patreon la while back.

As non-patrons, myself and @crossover-enthusiast have discussed this a bit and I have some ideas on these folks

Character A, the and one the left is described as "the boss of a he-", I can't be sure but I think this is implying that this guy runs either a new or established business, my current leading theory is Gonuts, since we already know that Rick will be working there in the coming episode.

Character B is the one I've seen the least discussion about. Given that Patty and the morgue are both confirmed to be relevant to the main plot and how similar to Patty this character's silhouette is, I'm willing to bet this is another mortician/pathologist. Whether they'll be a major character or only appear briefly, I can't say.

And lastly, Character C is all but confirmed to be a cat lady (see the patreon post showing the designs for a bunch of cats and the spoiler collage). The thing that really stuck out to me though is this:

The cat post mentioned earlier has what's clearly a picture of Dexter in the preview, it appears to be either a framed photo or a picture on a carton of milk. This might be nothing, but the more I think about it, the more likely it seems to me that this woman will eventually be revealed to be Dexter's mother.

I hope my fellow non-patrons enjoyed this and the patrons got a laugh out of how wrong something I said here is.

I thought that was just Moloch dressed as Krampus?? The idea he looks similar is cool tho

It probably was, but I just really like making new characters at the slightest provocation.

It would make for a good fic/fan-comic, at least.

I like to think Krampus would sound just like Moloch but with a German accent and has grown to hate his job (He'd be great friends with Rick).

Spooky Month 6 predictions

So, as a non-patron, my access to sm6 teaser is very limited, but that's exactly what makes me so fascinated by what I can get of them.

After combing through the teaser, I've managed to construct an outline of the episode's plot.

I hope my fellow non patrons will enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

LET'S BEGIN:

The episode begins with a typical spooky month set up with a montage of Skid and Pump running around town.

Some scenes in this segment are: Lila and Jaune are getting drunk together, the Kevin clip we got the other day and a scene with Rick and the cops at Gonuts, this sequence will likely introduce a new character or 2.

Most importantly, they come across the Hatzgang and Robert asks them to take something to his sister at the hospital.

After this, the boys come across Frank, who drops them off in front of the hospital at the same time as Gregor arrives, having been called by Patty to handle the Moloch situation.

At this point, we cut to a corner of hell where a New Demon (hereafter referred to as ND) realizes how long Moloch's been gone and decides to find him.

Back in the human world, the spookies try to follow Gregor into the morgue and briefly succeed, meeting a new mortician character, only for Patty to boot them out.

Afterwards they run into two men, one dressed in a Happy Fella costume and the other being the teased business man character, looking for the room of a severely ill girl who made request with a Make-A-Wish type group to meet Happy Fella, the boys assume the girl in question is Robert's sister, but she isn't and Rob's sister meets Happy Fella at the expense of a far more sick child.

Somewhere around this point we get a side plot involving the thieves looking for something hidden in the church, but their search leads them to the house of an old cat lady, this acting as the episode's major subplot. The item in question likely being cult related.

Back to the boys, we see that Robert's sister has many Happy Fella dolls, one possibly being possessed by Dexter, Skid and Pump naturally start destroying them.

Afterwards, they return to the morgue where Dexter's body has been cremated, releasing Moloch and letting him possess Gregor or Patty, either way, whoever he doesn't possess gets possessed by ND, who arrives at the perfect time start a demon fight! (which ends up being 2 bodies ragdolling in midair and occasionally smacking against each other)

Pump suggests they call Lila, but Skid says she told him she'll be busy, this is then contrasted with a scene of Lila and Jaune in full pisshead mode, when Jaune's husband calls to check up on them.

Then we get the climax of the boys (possibly with the presence of an angelic being) performing a double exorcism.

Annnd, that's it!

Special shout out to @crossover-enthusiast for helping my iron out some of these ideas.

Just realized his tag says storybored instead of storyboard

Damn, that's clever.

3 Days to Hollow Sorrows

Today's headcanon: Rick has picked up (stolen) a memento from every job he's had and quit over the years. This is the closest thing to a proper hobby that Rick has.

Moments from my first post HS hunger games

For those who haven't been here a while (and by "a while", I mean literally the first 2 days since I started regularly posting here), I did a highlight compilation post of moments from my Spooky Month hunger games simulator, and I'm doing it again, just with 36 characters instead of 24

That's some random stuff, but I also have some more specific insanity

First is what happened after Roy died

And after that....

Yeh

And then there's all the shit Garcia did

I'm so glad I used this image because it conjures the funniest mental images for me

And for those wondering how it ended,

Spooky Month Library AU

In a surprising turn of events, I'm not dead! And what is more, I've recently concocted a new AU to share with you all!

And before we get started, a special thanks to @crossover-enthusiast and @spookyscaryskidnpump / @woomy-wormy for helping develop this AU

The Premise

A library is briefly tasked with storing the mysterious Starborn Manuscript which is in truth a spell book. The librarian unknowingly reads a spell from it which leads to characters from the library's books coming to life as tiny paper people at night.

The Basic Lore

When close to the book of their origin, characters have access so abilities they have in the book but otherwise can't use.

Characters can be "tainted" by and sometimes reflect misdeeds of their authors.

Characters who are directly related (parents, grandparents, siblings) in SM share a book of origin. Other relatives are from different books by the same author.

The characters believe Eli the librarian, the only human they've caught brief glimpses of, to be their god.

Characters only come to life within the confines of the library.

Before we move on, let's appreciate this artwork curtesy of @woomy-wormy

The Characters and their books (some of them, anyway)

Skid, Lila and Skidad- Leads in a book from a kids' horror anthology wherein the father of the family is replaced by a monster, as the real dad doesn't directly appear in the story, the on that's brought to life is the monster.

Pump, Susie and Mr. Wonder- The main family in another book in the same anthology as Skid's family.

Roy, Carmen, Richard and Garcia- Carmen and Richard are the leads in a fantasy romance novel, Garcia orchestrates an elaborate scheme so Richard can be with Carmen and Roy is introduced into the story after a timeskip.

Ross, Jaune and Aaron- Ross is the protagonist of a cyberpunk YA dystopian novel

Robert and Radford- The leads in a lighthearted slice of life story.

John- Lead in a noir story.

Jack- Supporting character in a different noir story.

Rick- The main character of a newspaper strip which has a compendium in the library, speech bubbles appear when he talks.

Dexter and Michelle- A reclusive family from a gothic horror novella.

Hobomen- Tankmen doodles on a torn off and wadded up page of a student's notebook that rolled under a shelf

Bob- He's just a normal chef in his book of origin, but his author's recently outed violent tendencies have lead to him becoming much more violent than his book counterpart.

More characters to come soon, so stay tuned!
