[@hadows6936]

So, here's my understanding of Nicky's story so far: Nicky was a foster kid who met a teenager named Shifty. They did the criminal life together until one day Shifty got killed (apparently because of Nicky) and Nicky did 4 years jail time. He gets out at 20 years old, has his stint in the circus, then gets into the criminal life again at 21. He gets arrested during a drug bust and gets sent to prison again where he meets and befriends a man named Ben. He lives out the majority of his remaining life in prison before dying of old age and getting sent to hell. In hell, a creature (an imp?) named Hank acts as his guide. He sees his mother and Ben in the afterlife, and so to be with his mother again and avoid hell, Nicky makes a deal with God to torment the living on his behalf. Now, Nicky has used his power to bust Ben and Hank out of hell in preparation for Brittle Bones Nicky 4.

Lyrics : Friends! Foes! What can I say? I'm back for more, I couldn't stay away People ask, where's part 3? You ready? You ready for me? I'm taking you back to age twenty There was love, deceit, and mystery When Shifty died, judge gave four years The worst thing ever that a kid could hear When you got a record, you're kinda screwed So I got a job cleaning up hotel rooms Then I saw a beauty that blew my mind When a circus came to town one night And threw a party in the banquet hall That's where I met her, at The Chaplin ball Her name was Karla, I was so transfixed A rush of blood, straight to my ("WOW") Mysterious as the flight of doves That's tailed me ever since I lost my mom She invited me to watch her fly trapeze Fuck parole, I do as I please! Nobody ever been there to look out for me I'm all on my own in shit city Nobody ever been there to look out for me Caution to the wind, man it feels real free! Should I? Do it? (Ya!) Screw it? (Ya!) Prove it? (Ya!) Even if its... Risky? (Ya!) Tricky? (Ya!) Sticky? (Ya!) Ok let it roll Ok let it roll We've got lions, we've got bears We've got tigers in their underwear's Step right up, Nicky! Step right up! Welcome to the circus! I jumped in the back of a truck I thought oh man, holy fuck! The circus was tailor made for me Oddballs, misfits, livin' free Karla kept her cards real close She was hesitant of trusting folks One night we were out watching the stars On a truck bed she finally opened up her heart My parents sent us on a ship in the night Escaped the war, fresh start at life We docked at a little port town Chaplin was out sniffing around "Why two princesses, want new dresses? Show you love, and what success is?" For some reason he liked me So I did some tricks Pockets taught me "Jazzy hands, oh me likey Come be a star, be like me!" Just like that, it came to be Brittle Bones Nicky, back to being tricky Nobody ever been there to look out for me I'm all on my own, in circus city! Nobody ever been there to look out for me Caution to the wind, man it feels real free! Should I? Do it? (Ya!) Screw it? (Ya!) Prove it? (Ya!) Even if its... Risky? (Ya!) Tricky? (Ya!) Sticky? (Ya!) Ok let it roll Ok let it roll Who knew I'd become a star Still a fugitive, my life's bizarre I promised I'd never steal again "A fool-proof plan", that's what Karla said We'd escape from Chaplin's thumb I didn't know the scary shit he'd done Kept their money and papers in a safe Key around his neck, girls knew their place Could I say no? She's all I had Risk was high, odds looked bad In his box at intermission "My star performer, dope magician" "A trick you say! give us a preview!" "Chaplin, could I demonstrate on you?" "Yes, yes, impress these guests" He had no clue I snatched the key from his neck "I can't wait for your closing act" If only they knew me and Karla's pact She's on stage, I'm set to close I snuck in, put the key in the hole Got the papers, got the cash Stuffed the bag, heart beating fast My heart was beating fast My heart was beating fast Man How long can I make this last? Should I? Do it? (Ya!) Screw it? (Ya!) Prove it? (Ya!) Even if its... Risky? (Ya!) Tricky? (Ya!) Sticky? (Ya!) Ok let it roll As the ring leader called out my name "Brittle Bones Nicky", Chap knew he'd been played Pacing my spot, casing this lot Is Karla coming? Karla is not Is she caught? My racing thoughts Then there she was right on the dot "I didn't mean to fall in love, you better run" One last kiss, "and Nicky they got guns" My heart was ripped, I was made a fool She double-crossed me, it was fucking cruel It was fucking cruel, she was fucking cruel If it cost me my life man I'd save my only friend That's something I could live with I could take that till the end Brittle Bones Nicky Not so crafty or tricky But that son of a bitch won't fold Cuz that son of a bitch is gold Friends! Foes! Is there part 4? Who knows what tricks I got in store But you know me Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! I'd never close that door

[@shalikrox9720]

I love characters that don't flip because their kindness or help was taken advantage of. Help is help even if you don't get anything in return. And there's no guarantee doing a favor will get back to you so it's nice to see characters that just feel more down to earth and have empathy

You know, I don't know if anyone else mentioned this but from 1:14 to 1:20 when the announcer said "Step right up Nicky, step right up! Welcome to the Circus!!" It's most likely a reference to brittle bones Nickey 2 when the angel skeleton said "Welcome, Welcome Nicky! Welcome to Heaven!!" and I think that's fucking amazing holy shit.

got me waiting 5 years for this, lets see this, ill edit in my thoughts on it soon Results: Alr so this is SO PEAK BRO, first we got a refrence from bbn1 (Shifty) i just love it, its a banger plus the chorus was just PEAK "SHOULD I DO IT (YA), SCREW IT (YA) THREW IT (YA)" is just so peak. Plus the ringleader doing the "Step right up nicky" Remind me of that part in BBN2 where "Welcome nicky!! Welcome to heaven!!!" THIS IS JUST SO PEAK, I AM SO HAPPY THAT I CAME ALL THIS WAY, BEEN WAITING FOR 5 YEARS!!!! I LOVE THIS MAN, I LOVE RA, I LOVE THIS SONG, I LOVE ALL THIS, PLUS THE CHORUS FROM BBN1!!!!! ITS JUST SO PEAAAAAAAAAAAKK, and also that part when nicky blushes, ITS ALSO FROM BBN1 WHEN PEOPLE IN THE BACKROUND SAYS "Woah!" WHEN HE GETS..yknow.. alr time to sit back and wait another 7 years for BBN4 🛌😴

[@Sith420]

10/10 it will be

[@spencerlb]

Nicky is such an endearing and genuinely heroic character. The deepest core of his character is that no matter how terrible the odds are, and even if there's a chance he'll get completely screwed in the end by that same person, he'll never regret saving his only friend in need. Karla betraying him broke his heart, but he'd do it again in a heartbeat. It's just who he is.
