I kinda think that Shrignold and Warren have a similar trait (other than the fact that they’re both bugs lol), they both get a personal gain out of a relationship. For warren it’s friendship, and for Shrignold, it’s just love in general. However, I usually think that Warren isn’t fully aware that his idea of friendship is toxic, he just likes the idea of people liking and listening to him. Shrignold I believe is aware that what he’s teaching isn’t true but he gets control.
One thing I always found interesting about the episode is how The Story of Michael doesn’t actually prove that he found a special one. It only says that he was ugly and ostracized for being ugly.
As someone with a lot of religious trauma and trauma surrounding love and relationships, episode 3 was the most terrifying for me because it felt so real. Sure, the others are scary, the gore is gross and scary, but they’re not as realistic and hard hitting as this one. To me, Shrignold is the scariest teacher. Tony is a close second.
Personally I think this ‘teacher’ is a lot more like the Twins who show up out of nowhere from somewhere outside the house. They both try to trick whoever they are trying to ‘teach’ in order to get a new member of their family/group to do what they want. They are outsiders that don’t just show up inside the trio’s home like the other teachers, who have something to gain personally from using manipulation as a tactic.
Yay, more DHMIS content! I was just feeling like I should have a rewatch (after watching Interface recently, I am in the mood for more extreme weirdness) so I will take this as a good sign.
Hooray! One on my favorite episode and my favorite evil insect! Sometimes I suddenly remember how large the puppet for Shrignold was. Bignold will forever haunt my dreams.
Ep 3 is literally my favorite one out of the RUclips series it got me into Dhmis and I loved how the innocent and colorful cloud land place he lives in turns dark and twisted revealing that it was all just a way to lure to people in with happy lies and then sticking the dark truth on them
To me, 'Love' is less about cults and more a critique on religion and how it uses love and happiness to control people. Shrignold is the preacher, the one in charge of the church but not the top authority; that's Malcom, who Shrignold also serves. He teaches new converts how everything works and makes sure everybody serves the king, or god in this analogy. Everybody serves their king/god by doing things for him and spreading his word, promising everybody eternal love, happiness, and a community that cares and understands you; but all of those things are inherently tied to all the rules and limitations. If you want all the good stuff you gotta just change your name, adopt a whole new way of thinking, and serve a nebulous deity for your whole life and
Shrignold has always been my favorite, but I’ll be honest: I don’t see him as activity malicious, more as incredibly indoctrinated with a savior complex. The way he acts, to me, always felt less like “I’m actively trying to put you down” and more “I’m trying to be kind but am also being a bit hurtful oops tehe”
I love how all throughout the song it’s peaceful and keeps the same tone. Even when the visuals get scary and cultish.

Fun fact:Shrignold is the only teacher to be defeated in the RUclips series. He gets taken down with a fly swatter.
A real pity hew never appeared In the TV Series, cause that worm wasn't any better.
I wonder how Shrignold would react to a police raiding his place and arresting him

I bet Shignold and Warren would be great friends 😅💖
I guess this is a good video for showing how this series is more than just horror/fear.
"I didn't know it would do this well"
I used to draw shrignold a lot when I was a kid, he was My fav ❤️
