I really hope it stays this way, while it’s puppet / childish(?) horror, it does so uniquely

And strangely brings a relatability that I don’t have much besides ‘haha isn’t that relatable’

While I love the usual approach, it’s the usual approach, it’s time to see something new from the genre

I'm having a certain amount of weird cognitive dissonance about partycoffin's Welcome Home (not tagging them because this is kinda speculation...)

I normally absolutely loathe the "the cute thing was EVIL ALL ALONG" genre, especially with Muppety puppets. I have a very strong squick about it. The Henson Workshop was one of baby's first hyperfixations, and The Dark Crystal is so important to me that it's hard to describe how without invoking religion.

... It's important to me, for these reasons, that the Muppets, especially the Sesame Street crew, are... innocent. Not in a Calvinist way, in an ... autistic hippie way. They're joyfully weird. They're not cruel for cruelty's sake. Some of the Muppets are grumpy and mean because it's what they were made to be, but they're not...

Look, it's hard to explain, but there's a very specific kind of Mean Comedy that, before Henson's death, the Muppets just did not do. Even Statler and Waldorf's heckling doesn't push that button for me. The Muppets shouldn't be capable of that kind of interpersonal cruelty. And that's important enough to me that I can't watch something like Avenue Q (much less Actual Puppet Horror) without getting sick to my stomach.

But *thus far*, the horror elements of Welcome Home haven't gotten to me in the same way. And I think it's because... Clown respects that aspect of the children's puppet genre?

Like, I know we're still in early days, and That One Fucking Picture Of Maisie freaks me the fuck out (for, uh, different reasons). But so far, it seems like at least part of the horror aspect... Is that innocence, and how it can't survive contact with humanity.

So far, at least in the newest version of WH, we've seen very little to indicate that the Home crew's joy and innocence aren't genuine. Everyone has Depths to their character, obviously, that can't be plumbed without going into the Gruesome Shit. But like.... with the possible exception of Wally, they don't seem Cruel. Fuck, even Wally seems Oblivious and Earnest, just... willing to do horrible things for the sake of Keeping Home Intact.

And that LACK of malice is ironically where the horror comes in! Because the sunny days of a kids' puppet show can't survive contact with a reality where people are cruel and ableist and homophobic, and once the show ends, there's nothing left but that reality... and everything falls apart.

Agh, I don't know. I might have to drop this fandom if I get that button pushed too many times. But for now, it's interesting to see an adult take on the genre that isn't gleefully mean and disrespectful towards one of the things I love about puppets.

Almost got killed omf, my instinct was wrong

Mood! I wish it was that color ngl, with specifically a rusty corviknight

While I love the memes I need some genuine ocs and angst to fuel it further

Hey!!

I’m getting into 3D modeling! I used blockbench for these, and I think I’m getting somewhat of a hang on it

Models inspired by Crossy Road, and I attempted to make them in its style

Adopts! I’ve made a personal base which these are both made on

Check em out if you’re interested! Even just dropping a fav or reblog helps a ton

New sona, Swivel! This design was from April but I redrew them and finished them up

He’s dressed as Deino for Halloween

I’m a new user here & I’ve heard of this! I just,, keep forgetting to do it

With it though, how do I get my content differentiated from my reblogs? Sometimes I like to scroll through my own posts and my (& others) reblogs can get annoying if say, I just wanna see their art?

I’ve seen multiple artists I wanna see their stuff of more but it’s hard to find through their reblogs, and otherwise on a site that’s telling me to get an account to view a free profile, and I just wanna see their stuff

Asking to learn the site, not to argue! Sorry if it’s sounding that way, I don’t intend it

for the love of god please listen to old users when we say this site works differently. that you can’t just sit around with a blank blog. make posts or reblog, but do something at least. this site works because we don’t have an unavoidable garbage algorithm forcefeeding us posts based on our likes. we do not need another fucking twitter, tiktok or instagram.

Planning to join this year! Most prompts may be UFO or Dold on TH (my user is Phobiac, if interested!), all if I don’t get attached to any, and even those I’ll EO on

Wish me luck on doing it all (or most) this year!

Happy one day late Gravity Falls birthday!

I still need to redesign my oc from it

Good luck!

I don’t actually write, just want to start but never do, and just trying to boost your post

I hope you refind your people soon!

so, fun story (/s), I accidentally deleted my entire tumblr account. I managed to restore the blog name right away with a new account, but everything I'd ever posted and reblogged, everyone I followed and who followed me - it's all gone. I had the account for years, and I think it's safe to say I'm pretty upset.

anyway, if you're a writeblr (I don't mind if you don't post original content frequently or at all, neither do I) or if you know we used to follow each other, please, please reblog this post so that I can build my account back up. thanks for your help.
