It just takes no creativity or guile for these villain types to grab a little power through such outlandish transformations. No imagination at all. I am utterly astounded by how shitty their imagination is. If their imagination was a face i would stab it. In the face.

OMFG I WAS JUST LISTENING TO SOMETHING SO SPIRITUAL THEN THIS SHIT POPS UP BUT WHO GIVES A DAMN THIS SONG IS JAM.

[@snickeyboom]

Think about the lyric "Early to bed and you'll miss all the fun". The Squiddle theme song says to go to bed early and wake up early. They are polar opposites. This head-canon works best when you realize that Squiddles is a childish show and the Midnight Crew seems like a more adult show. The Squiddle theme seems to end in dementia, and this seems like you would end drinking tea. Just something to point out.
