Their current contract expires this Friday, April 19.

Support a fair union contract for writers at Sesame Workshop!

The current WGA-Sesame Workshop contract expires on April 19, 2024. We're hopeful we can secure a deal by that deadline, but we'll need the

If the company continues to refuse to engage on core issues and a deal can’t be reached by that deadline, Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) members at Sesame Workshop have unanimously voted to authorize a strike.

Your support will ensure that the negotiating committee has the leverage they need to make the strongest possible deal before their contract expires on Friday—or to have the WGAE Council and WGAW Board call for a strike if the company is still unwilling to meet its workers' reasonable demands.

@ meldoesthedraw gave me inspiration to continue what Odyssey's Nightmare/ LSD Moment would look like

They would look like a Horror movie

( Like Eddie Dear from Welcome home w/ the latest update )

Ody would have the mayhem sing to them but in an Alarming Tune ( My two song choices )

Stolen Dance by Milky Chance

Or

Still Alive by Half Alive

They both play out the same with Dr teeth Leading the rest of the Mayhem to braid or taunt Odyssey.

Self deprecating Phrases , and Odyssey falling into Quick Sand ( Like what Dr teeth Does in his Nightmare hallucination )

But where the two songs differ is how the chorus is used

In stolen dance when the chorus goes

" We don't talk about it "

the rest of the band mates surrounds Od looking at them with daggers like their the outlast or they don't belong

The start of the song Animal can be shown banging on a Steel trash can looking more ragged than normally does. Than when rest of the instruments goes in than the rest of the band can be seen on an stage

Dr teeth comes out ( in his MTM outfit )

Odyssey is trying to get their attention but they ignore her.

How it continues is that Teeth forces Odyssey to dance with him going through all the years they've known the Band in the background , but the longer they dance , the angrier Teeth gets, like he's holding back a punch.

Each musical Break Teeth let's Odyssey spin and club lights turns on and disorients her.

Floyd & Janice sing the part " Boogie all night long " while Lips & Zoot sings " never danced like this before?"

When the song ends the Stage fades to black , Odyssey is back in the outfit that She first met the Mayhem in , crying down is all their makeup 💄and as Teeth Sings the last part , all you can see is the shine of his golden tooth & all their eyes glowing

( For lips & Janice , there is a small set of white light coming from under their eye lashes/eye lids )

This is how Odyssey Views but their thinking but they don't actually mean that to her irl ( In real life ) but that's how they betray their feelings.
