I love how over the two videos Wrongy has genuinely gotten better at his job (to the point he's thrown some questions for the sake of showing the wrong answers)
That’s what I was thinking, too. You don’t recognize them, they claim to have a history with you that you don’t recall (“last time I saw you, you were just a little guy” and whatnot), and as you said: give you headaches.
As someone who wrote his undergrad thesis about prion disease i appreciated the shout out to one of the coolest pathology mechanisms ever (I'm not biased obviously)
The elves are likely referring to the Norse Álfar. When offended, they would shoot humans or cattle with an invisible arrow which would cause illness (“elf-struck”).
Re: the question of why winter solstice traditions so often feature scaring kids into good behavior: I’d bet it’s because people were stuck indoors with their kids a lot more, and they could become a lot more insufferable in close quarters.
That Fear & Hunger music at the end is an possible and Ominous hint of what lies next for the Peacock...Almer bless us, were gonna be in the deep end real soon.
43:00 I think this is less a reference to folklore and more to the Holiday Illness. Basically any time theres a major holiday with big gatherings, the chance of giving, spreading, or getting sick goes up. Making a natural phenomenon into something caused by strange creatures is something this game does well, so I wouldnt be surprised if the reference is that simple.
@@writer4life724 I think there's also the aspect of Christmas being the only time you see a lot of the people there, so you could go your entire life never interacting with them outside of that brief period where you share a house each year, meaning you'd never know the difference if they were an elf. It's a very human thing to rationalise that a person you don't recognise at a party must know someone else there. The whole gathering would probably know that the person is a stranger, but nobody would want to bring it up in case they made a fool of themselves.
2:02:51 I no joke had to pause and laugh-cry at the idea that among all the horrors one could face in this arg, should it be equally likely that you could have an eldritch horror Santa Claus or 15 mice in a trench coat at your doorstep, the mice are the more imminent threat
17:30 Slight correction: Antler Growths affect decomposing bodies, so corpses. Basically, it turns dead bodies into zombies, it doesn't infect (or affect) the living.
I’m genuinely hoping for more holiday themed dlc, there’s so much possible material from Halloween, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving, hell even New Year’s
What would they even have for Valentine's day,fucking Cupid? Halloween was the one I was hoping for and the monsters for it would be easy,I'm imagining ghosts,maybe a vampire type monster or two,possibly a werewolf or lycanthrope curse...
i fucking love that they were giving the hobb shots in the credits sequence, i started cackling when i saw that. i love this game and its wacky horror/comedy combo!!!
These devs should consider a board game. If they can make a deck of cards full of callers, and one player be the "operator" (read the card, reveal the answer), then you could have a couple people all competing to get the most accurate diagnoses
The second the DLC released I knew this video was coming and could not stop refreshing my notifications with baited breath. Excuse me while I spend the next 2 hours and 40 minutes hunched over my phone looking like The Gift Hag
Look. I don't like Christmas. So the amount of "Its Christmas, whats wrong with you?" is delightful. I enjoy the passive aggressive shame being brought to me with each shake of the bell. This is not sarcasm. It is an incredibly fun bit.
Hi Irish man here, Cloch/Cloich is just the Irish word for Stone and is pronounced a bit like the Scottish Loch with a C at the front, Cúchulainn is pronounced like Coo Cullin, Cú being the Irish word for hound or wolf, and Chulainn being a lord he accidentally killed a guard dog of and thus had to become his guard until he could replace it
I got really into Cúchulainn from his inclusion in the game Smite. The description of his spear in writings is so brutal. "It entered a man's body with a single wound, like a javelin, then opened into thirty barbs. Only by cutting away the flesh could it be taken from that man's body.".. "coursing through the highways and byways of his body so that every single joint filled with barbs."
2:06:38 With Disco Elysium mentioned, Righty and Wrongy kinda remind me of how the skills work in that game. If I had to rename them as skills in D.E., Righty would be "Perfectionism" and Wrongy would be "Trial & Error".
28:24 the sugar wisp might be a reference to the sugar plum fairy with their fae-like elements, but I think between the ‘sugar plum’ scent and the ‘dreams of dancing orbs’ it’s a clear reference to famous poem ‘A Visit from St. Nickolas’ also known as ‘The Night Before Christmas’. Specifically, the passage “The children were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads”
If anything, the mouse king was a closer reference to The Nutcracker. I just imagine HSH pest control fighting them off with an army of animated tin soldiers.
Love how they amped up the horror aspects of the various pests and conditions. Some of the symptoms are really dark and not just "oh no my socks got crusty and stick to the floor"
SERIOUSLY I adore this video, I love the world of Home Safety Hotline, it’s absolutely fascinating, but HOLY MOLY some of these new hazards ARE SO. SCARY. Perchta was the first to truly freak me out, she’s just so unsettling and cruel, though that’s partly because of 1: the uncanny valley and 2: I would… definitely be a target of her. Mental+physical illness tends to make it hard to clean, and while it’s certainly possible to get help, well, mental disorders.. they’re called disorders for a reason, it’s hard to think logically that someone would be willing to help you when you can barely help yourself. But rewatching the video, I have a newfound understanding and terror about The Hunt. I didn’t quite grasp it last time I watched it, BUT YIKES!!!! It’s… really sad, too. From that one call of the aftermath, it’s clear that The Hunt is a force of cruel, cruel nature, capable of wiping out entire communities with very few survivors, and even after, those survivors have to face their former neighbors as Wights, probably resulting in even more deaths. You think it’s just a heavy snowstorm, but nothing remains in the morning. The audio of the Wight’s cough is so unsettling, they managed to make the sound so human and so.. wrong. I feel bad for the towns that are hit with no warning :( Thank you for letting me ramble, I have one concept to consider: when they target someone, do you think the Mountain Warlocks are doing a silly little dance while they chant? I literally can’t see them doing anything else during their chanting, they’re all dancing silly
Mixing Winter Cheer and Spooky just goes so well together. Like Peanut Butter and Chocolate. Or a house gnome and a dish of milk you leave for him to drink over the night so he's nice and happy and willing to fix your shoes for you. I hope this trend continues, and not just because I want Halloween and Christmas turned into one giant mega holiday that lasts three festively scary months.
The Mari Lwyd was my favorite part of this DLC (Though all of it was great). It's just such a funny yet wholesome tradition/custom imo and having it personified as some actual supernatural beastie was great.
In Sweden, “Lucy” is Saint Lucia (Loo-see-yah) and it is a tradition where a daughter will wake up her family with fresh pastries and song while in the traditional Lucia robe. It takes place on the 13th of December and churches will have Lucia choirs, and they sing the traditional Yule songs. At least, that’s true for Sweden, I don’t know much about the other countries. Lucia is a very benevolent figure, the whole idea is to bring light and cheer to the family. Personally it’s my favorite tradition
I recognized this from an old Highlights magazine I read in elementary school. It seems so wholesome, especially among all the creepy monsters of European folklore.
I started with your first safety hotline video, proceeded to binge watched all your videos, and now right as I've finished, I get a new one? talk about a Christmas miracle!
My man Wrongy continues to impress! And some added emotional stakes for Righty too! I cannot overstate how much I love all the characterization and detail that goes into each of your characters in these videos.
One of the fun things I like is the secondary meaning behind a couple of those calls and emails from HSH members. Things like "Hope to see you at the christmas party" Not just the surface one, but hoping we get to get to the christmas party.
31:33 I could be wrong here, but I think the False Carolers are based off of Kenku from D&D! They're humanoid crow/raven creatures known for their mimicry of people’s voices.
@@redwiltshire1816 while Kenku are originally based on the Japanese Tengu, they've been apart of D&D since the 80's I believe, and I'm pretty sure the creator of HSH is a D&D fan. Regardless, crows and ravens are known for their mimicry of human voices, so perhaps the carolers are just a general reference to that, as well as how they're often considered a bad omen
@@semi_mushi2189 actually now Ive gotten to the part, I’m pretty sure they are a mix of raven mythology and the false hydra from dnd either that or The Morigan
@@redwiltshire1816 but the false hydra you immediately forget as soon as you don't look at it and you forget all victims. That wasn't giving any of that?
The heartwarming dynamic between Righty and Wrongy is the cherry on top for these amazing videos. :D I love the way it was originally just a way to distinguish the flawless run from the run w/ consequence calls and also explain some of the clever red herrings, but you expanded it into dialogue of two people cooperating to find the right answer.
The original Lussi tradition still exists in almost the exact same manner in Sweden called Saint Lucia day. A girl is picked to be Saint Lucia, she dresses the exact same way with the lit candle wreath and all, and she goes through the streets holding a candle to light the way as saffron bread is passed out. It is practically the same in every way almost, I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned! My grandma's family is Swedish, and we used to do the tradition when my sister and I were the right ages still. I think it's like the youngest girl who is at least 8 or something, it's been a long time since then. 😂
As a dutchman I can't help but be a little peeved at lumping in Sinterklaas with Santa Claus so easily. I mean yeah they're similar, one inspired the other, but they're still very distinctly different. The horse , mitre and staff of "the saint" being a dead giveaway.
I like that as I started watching, you’ve been trying some new things video editing wise, throwing out some stuff you didn’t like, keeping some stuff you did or upgrading. You just work hard on your stuff. I don’t think people say this enough. I’m really proud of you for working this hard on something you love, even though sometimes it’s frustrating and it makes you hate it temporarily. You should be proud of yourself. Take some time to do that.
This video was, as always, a certified banger. Knowing that King in Yellow, Signalis, and Fear & Hunger are all on the way has me absolutely vibrating with anticipation! Can't wait to see what you do with them all!
"A pristine cut?" Yes, yes, I know. I'm waiting as patiently as I can manage. No need to rub it in. I also love how the lore suggests these agent are just hilariously competent. I would absolutely trust any of them to suplex a Dorcha to save Christmas.
"sometimes it's better to strike the torso, keep that in mind, not for this game for another one" "I just finished fear and hunger" I think I can realistically guess what game are coming
I was feeling bummed out at a bar and couldn't figure out an excuse good enough for me to leave, but when I saw this video on my feed I left immediately for the comfort of my home to watch it. Thank you for your content as always!
The end sequence was legitimately scary with the Krampus introduction. I've always loved how much fun you have, your considered thoughts, and the artistry you bring to the table. Thanks for this one and all the others, mon ami
It's crazy that I rewatched your video about Home Safty Hotline, I checked on steam to my suprise that this game has dlc, I wished that you make anathor video about that dlc and be totally flabergazed, next day you uploaded Story Explained about that dlc. Love your content, thank you for making it, you making my day.
Well I didn't expect to hear scuh an insane remix of a hungarian folk song in a video about a game mostly based off of nordic lore but I very much weclome this little subplot, thank you :3
I think the elves might just be a reference to having one of your parents' friends, in-laws, or distant family members over during Christmas that you don't remember ever meeting but they clearly know who you are. These interactions are usually incredibly awkward and can cause social headaches haha.
God the translation of all this folklore and modern tradition is so cool, here’s hoping for another expansion down the line with Easter and other spring-holiday themed cryptids!
I was so hyped when I saw this!!! I was hoping you would cover the DLC. The next videos sound super intriguing because I really don’t know much about either of those pieces of media so I’ll be excited to see what you come up with!! On another note, I recently watched some people playing the game Mouthwashing, and that game struck me as right up your alley because of how many things could be dissected and theorized about from it, since there are a lot of metaphorical sequences taking places within a character’s mind/psyche. It’s a very dark game though, so I understand if you might be hesitant to cover it
YESSS I've been waiting for this! Also, Flaw, just wanted you to know that you've inspired me to finally start working on an animated project I've been dreaming up! Your Immortality video really inspired me. Keep up the great work!
this video broke me out of a 2 hour long tiktok scrolling streak, i was finally able to do something productive with my night!! thank you so much, these videos genuinely encourage me because its so nice to listen to these while i work or draw:))
Always a pleasure to see another Feathered Peacock video that breaks the hour limit. Loved every bit of this, and I’m so excited for the King in Yellow video! I can’t wait to see your take on it!
Hey Floppy Sloppy Toppy, i wont know if you see this, I've been watching your channel since the inscryption series, and love seeing what you put out, it reminds me of a bit of what night mind does, but the white board and overall pleasant presentation and sense of humor you bring is awesome to see, and i hope to see what amazing content you bring out the future, you deserve every bit of success you have, and the work you put in shows that. Thank you for being a kind voice and funny man in these trying times, and thank you for not taking yourself too seriously like some other creators do. Sincerely, Just a fan
I found your original HSH video and fell in love with your content. You’ve quickly became one of my favourite creators! Thanks for the awesome content!
Honestly you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs! I use your videos to go to sleep bc they capture my attention but aren’t loud and noisy! You go into so much detail and are so passionate about the games your playing that I can’t help but find myself getting so invested! Thank you for posting this and I hope you’re doing well! 🥰
I rotate between ManlyBadassHero, Flawed, and Ophie Dokie to help me sleep. Nice, soothing voices without yelling, screaming, or loud noises. I put the volume down so I can just make out what they're saying without straining and try to relax my body and mind.

This seems likely, especially post covid.
Cannot explain how powerful the sleeper agent that awoke hearing Diggy Diggy Hole during the dwarf explanation was lmao
For Frost Wisps, my guess for there inspiration might be the concept of Seasonal Depression that tends to occur during the Winter months.

I don’t think so the games based on fae/druid/celtic mythology while the kenku would be Japanese
@@redwiltshire1816 while Kenku are originally based on the Japanese Tengu, they've been apart of D&D since the 80's I believe, and I'm pretty sure the creator of HSH is a D&D fan. Regardless, crows and ravens are known for their mimicry of human voices, so perhaps the carolers are just a general reference to that, as well as how they're often considered a bad omen
@@semi_mushi2189 it could just be a pooka (púca) they take the forms of animals and bring misfortune or just a regular changeling
@@semi_mushi2189 actually now Ive gotten to the part, I’m pretty sure they are a mix of raven mythology and the false hydra from dnd either that or The Morigan
@@redwiltshire1816 but the false hydra you immediately forget as soon as you don't look at it and you forget all victims. That wasn't giving any of that?
The heartwarming dynamic between Righty and Wrongy is the cherry on top for these amazing videos. :D I love the way it was originally just a way to distinguish the flawless run from the run w/ consequence calls and also explain some of the clever red herrings, but you expanded it into dialogue of two people cooperating to find the right answer.
The licorice cutscene from that one Nick flash game reminded me of old nightmares thanks Flawed
The original Lussi tradition still exists in almost the exact same manner in Sweden called Saint Lucia day. A girl is picked to be Saint Lucia, she dresses the exact same way with the lit candle wreath and all, and she goes through the streets holding a candle to light the way as saffron bread is passed out. It is practically the same in every way almost, I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned!
My grandma's family is Swedish, and we used to do the tradition when my sister and I were the right ages still. I think it's like the youngest girl who is at least 8 or something, it's been a long time since then. 😂
same goes for here in Finland
As a dutchman I can't help but be a little peeved at lumping in Sinterklaas with Santa Claus so easily. I mean yeah they're similar, one inspired the other, but they're still very distinctly different. The horse , mitre and staff of "the saint" being a dead giveaway.
"it's Christmas, what's wrong with you?" Will be stuck in my head in December 😆
I like that as I started watching, you’ve been trying some new things video editing wise, throwing out some stuff you didn’t like, keeping some stuff you did or upgrading. You just work hard on your stuff.
I don’t think people say this enough. I’m really proud of you for working this hard on something you love, even though sometimes it’s frustrating and it makes you hate it temporarily. You should be proud of yourself. Take some time to do that.
This video was, as always, a certified banger. Knowing that King in Yellow, Signalis, and Fear & Hunger are all on the way has me absolutely vibrating with anticipation! Can't wait to see what you do with them all!
"A pristine cut?" Yes, yes, I know. I'm waiting as patiently as I can manage. No need to rub it in.
I also love how the lore suggests these agent are just hilariously competent. I would absolutely trust any of them to suplex a Dorcha to save Christmas.
"sometimes it's better to strike the torso, keep that in mind, not for this game for another one"
"I just finished fear and hunger"
I think I can realistically guess what game are coming
The skit was truly peak cinema
I was feeling bummed out at a bar and couldn't figure out an excuse good enough for me to leave, but when I saw this video on my feed I left immediately for the comfort of my home to watch it. Thank you for your content as always!
Ohh nice, Hungary mention!!
The end sequence was legitimately scary with the Krampus introduction. I've always loved how much fun you have, your considered thoughts, and the artistry you bring to the table. Thanks for this one and all the others, mon ami
It's crazy that I rewatched your video about Home Safty Hotline, I checked on steam to my suprise that this game has dlc, I wished that you make anathor video about that dlc and be totally flabergazed, next day you uploaded Story Explained about that dlc. Love your content, thank you for making it, you making my day.
as a Hungarian myself I appreciate the shoutout
Well I didn't expect to hear scuh an insane remix of a hungarian folk song in a video about a game mostly based off of nordic lore but I very much weclome this little subplot, thank you :3
I think the elves might just be a reference to having one of your parents' friends, in-laws, or distant family members over during Christmas that you don't remember ever meeting but they clearly know who you are. These interactions are usually incredibly awkward and can cause social headaches haha.
I have to rewatch this on Christmas to get randomly startled multiple times.
This reminds me of a buddy I had in Colchester, Connecticut - he had a clothing store with a Cloch problem, he had to cloch down.
God the translation of all this folklore and modern tradition is so cool, here’s hoping for another expansion down the line with Easter and other spring-holiday themed cryptids!
Wrongy finally got good at the job. And the production value keeps going up with each episode.
I was so hyped when I saw this!!! I was hoping you would cover the DLC. The next videos sound super intriguing because I really don’t know much about either of those pieces of media so I’ll be excited to see what you come up with!!
On another note, I recently watched some people playing the game Mouthwashing, and that game struck me as right up your alley because of how many things could be dissected and theorized about from it, since there are a lot of metaphorical sequences taking places within a character’s mind/psyche. It’s a very dark game though, so I understand if you might be hesitant to cover it
georgia’s call is both so cute but so hilarious 😭😂
YESSS I've been waiting for this!
Also, Flaw, just wanted you to know that you've inspired me to finally start working on an animated project I've been dreaming up! Your Immortality video really inspired me. Keep up the great work!
Can’t wait for a Christmas dlc that goes into Halloween mythos
This channel has the best vibe I’ve ever seen
9:28 And the fact that HSH is very reminiscent of HoH SiS just makes that reference even better
It's weird how amazing the skits work with the overview of the game, absolutely love your videos
I’m instantly sat omg
The only problem with keeping the Saint's gift the whole winter is that it'll probably be taken as you accepting it, and you'll end up having to pay.
this video broke me out of a 2 hour long tiktok scrolling streak, i was finally able to do something productive with my night!! thank you so much, these videos genuinely encourage me because its so nice to listen to these while i work or draw:))
Always a pleasure to see another Feathered Peacock video that breaks the hour limit. Loved every bit of this, and I’m so excited for the King in Yellow video! I can’t wait to see your take on it!
50:24 you'd just been doing some chicken puns so for a second I thought you said "we CLUCK in" lol
the twilight is the type of shit my friends would respond "mild inconvenience" to
Hey Floppy Sloppy Toppy, i wont know if you see this, I've been watching your channel since the inscryption series, and love seeing what you put out, it reminds me of a bit of what night mind does, but the white board and overall pleasant presentation and sense of humor you bring is awesome to see, and i hope to see what amazing content you bring out the future, you deserve every bit of success you have, and the work you put in shows that. Thank you for being a kind voice and funny man in these trying times, and thank you for not taking yourself too seriously like some other creators do.
Sincerely,
Just a fan
I had to go home from work sick today and i just woke up from a fever dream to see you uploaded, hell yeah
1:35:49 “Oh Catherine! May you wake in my torment!”
1:53:54
CATHERINE!!!
That fucking jumpscare at 33 minutes ahhhhh its 2 in the morning here!!! You cant do that to me peacock
I found your original HSH video and fell in love with your content. You’ve quickly became one of my favourite creators! Thanks for the awesome content!
I love how at the party after the hobb attack they get that little guy PLASTERED
Honestly you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs! I use your videos to go to sleep bc they capture my attention but aren’t loud and noisy! You go into so much detail and are so passionate about the games your playing that I can’t help but find myself getting so invested! Thank you for posting this and I hope you’re doing well! 🥰
I rotate between ManlyBadassHero, Flawed, and Ophie Dokie to help me sleep. Nice, soothing voices without yelling, screaming, or loud noises. I put the volume down so I can just make out what they're saying without straining and try to relax my body and mind.
My thoughts exactly !!!
saved this vid for nov 1 so i could properly overlap spookiness and the holiday spirit :3 just finished. amazing work as always flawed peacock!!! listened to this while decorating the house
surprise Granny cameo got me giggling 1:59:15
shoutout @grannydearest gotta be one of my favorite genders.
her voice is so distinct i recognized it immediately
Just got home from a 12 hour shift, it's 00:15 and I'm now not going to bed until 3. Thanks, Peacock.
1:57:57 my phone crushed immediately after you said that for no reason, and it gave me bigger jumpscare than whole fnaf franchise combined
I feel like the BA pest control officer was inspired by your by your skits. Like first thought when I saw his image with the shades and heard his voice. Idk if that's *true* but its how I felt playing!
Either way, YAY MORE GETTIN FLOPPY WITH HSH
