Welcome my friends, to Button Square

A perpetually drizzly market area in the midst of a stone courtyard. Vines and pale flowers bloom in between the cracks. A Beautiful fountain is central to the square, but you my friend are not headed to the fountain. After all the rain is drawing you in to one of the many brightly lit shops lining the area.

Despite the rain, they are all warm, the colors of the stone soft and unusual, pinks and sheer yellows decorate each shop. The awnings of them the traditional cloth, striped and merry in spite of the water collecting on top.

The first store you enter is a combination bookstore and bakery. Shelves of used books line each wall, nestled between mismatched tables and chairs. It is all hopelessly quaint, the warmth chases out the rain and the smell of fresh bread and coffee permeates the air. You could stay here for ages, curled up in an armchair or sprawled in a beanbag, nibbling on scones and sipping tea.

Eventually, you are drawn from your stupor, back out into the rain and into the next shop. A bell rings as you enter and you find yourself in a cramped toy shop. The shelves overflow with hand sewed stuffed animals, carefully carved wooden cars and cheerful puppets. The air is jovial and alive with the soft music of a circus.

The shop is much brighter than the cafe next door, a bit overstimulating after the quiet atmosphere, so you move on, across the street into another building.

This seems to be some sort of craft store, shelves of yarn and soft fabrics are everywhere, creating small walkways in between them. There is a section of beads and jewels, clearly meant for jewelry making. An entire wall is dedicated to hundreds and hundreds of different buttons, all unique in color shape and size. You hear somewhere, the gentle clacking of knitting needles, but see no origin point for the noise.

After much deliberation, you are finally drawn to the last store with the lights on, a rather sweet looking antiques shop. Inside, the smell of old books and dust whisk you away to a calmer time. Oldies play over a small radio in the corner. The walkways are narrow, decorated with every odd and end you could ever desire. Vinyl records, quilts and books, hundreds of items all for purchase.

Eventually, you hear a large clocktower call out the hour, it is rather late after all. You bustle from the square, and as you step from the stones back into the rest of headspace you find that the weather is clear.

INSIDE A BARN last month, a couple of hours after the rehearsal for the “Heart of the Matter” pageant, several dozen performers from around the world — paid puppeteers, interns, community volunteers — presented their proposed circus acts. Schumann typically reviews and critiques the sketches.

Most of the acts had a whimsical tone. A man imitating a bee (collapsing bee colonies the inspiration) did a frenetic waggle around a cardboard city that transformed itself into a tangle of dancing urbanites. An orca ambushed yachting billionaire puppets. When somber-looking tree figures appeared with a narrator reading facts about boreal forests versus the more flammable monoculture ones burning in nearby Canada, Schumann became agitated.

“It’s too cliché, something everyone already knows,” he shouted. “You have to stop using so many words and solve things puppetry-wise.” Then he jumped to his feet and started moving people and puppets around. He had puppeteers throw the trees and then dance with them, causing some confusion.

“It’s what you do, not what you say,” he said. “It’s puppetry, not preaching.”

He told them he would return in a half-hour to see a revision. Then, as dinnertime approached, he excused himself to help the kitchen staff make potato pancakes — a recipe from his war-torn childhood.

With admirable control, the puppeteers discussed how to rework their savaged piece, each giving the others time to suggest solutions. It was a utopian vision of collaboration, agile and practical — and typical of how the company functions.

“Peter has a strong directional voice,” said Ziggy Bird, 26, a company member who took notice of Schumann’s work in a theater history class at Temple University. “It’s never personal and some of the most beautiful moments come from frustration, which can be a kick in the pants.”

[from comments]

In 1970, Father Daniel Berrigan was on the FBI's 10 most wanted list for his anti-war activities which led to a conviction and then his failure to show up for prison. A major event supporting Berrigan, after he became a refugee, was held in Ithaca.

The FBI was there waiting. The question was whether Berrigan would appear and speak to the thousands in the audience.

I was a stage hand and watched Berrigan enter the stage, unrecognized as he wore a motorcycle helmet. He removed the helmet to cheers and gave a speech. The FBI probably figured that they would avoid a riot and grab him as he left the building.

But then, from the back of the huge arena (Barton Hall), came chanting, weird music and lights. It was The Bread and Puppet Theater to the rescue. The ten foot puppets moved about as weirdness took over. Berrigan was alone on the stage, when the giant puppets came on stage and swirled around him in a spiral. I think I was the only one who noticed, from my stage hand perspective, as Berrigan slipped inside one of the puppets as the swirl unwound itself and kept chanting as they left the arena.

It took the FBI another seven months to catch up to Father Berrigan and send him to prison. I believe that this was one of the greatest puppet shows in history.

Yet, this is a story that few know about. Berrigan really was on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list. and The Bread and Puppet Theater squirrelled him away to safety.

[the-only-trans-sopranos-fan]

the sopranos characters favorite fnaf animatronics

-tony: obviously freddy cuz he doesn't know anything abt it, aj talks aht it all the time and he beats the shit out of him whenever he mentions it

-aj: when he was a kid, i think he found chica hot :( but kind of in an ironic way, so if his friends asked he would say chica cuz she's hot but i think his real favorite is foxy i think cuz he's like a huge nerd abt video games and he's like woahhh fox is the only one that has a moving sprite in the first game and yada yada, also i think he pretends to understand the lore but he is so confused and has no idea what's going on, however later on when he matures and becomes more of a dick and starts to have mental issues, he related to michael afton for obvious reasons, also the nightmare animatronics scare the shit out of him

-carmela: she thinks the whole thing is creepy and she's doesn't like that aj likes it so she says she likes none of them to try and discourage him from playing it

-meadow: i think she likes roxane wolf and thinks she's a girlboss

-paulie: thinks he's different for liking golden freddy, even tho he only knows the lore from like the first 3 games

-silvio: circus baby, his daughter talks to him abt her back story and he like actually thinks it's insane

-janice: puppet, bc she sees herself as the helper and like the "glue" holding her family together even tho she does nothing of the sort

-bobby: at first, he doesn't like any of them bc there's no trains in fnaf, but i think he kinda gets into the mechanics of how the animatronics work so i think he likes the endoskeletons

-big pussy: he cosplays funtime freddy

-uncle junior: he thinks it's dumb and thinks it's turning everyone into furries, but he secretly thinks music man is cool, he gets called mr hippo by aj all the time and he doesn't know what it means but it pisses him off

-christopher: he's actually rly into the series and thinks monty gator is the coolest thing since sliced bread, i think he has a secret cosplay account

-adriana: obviously glamrock chica, her and chris do joint cosplays together and she actually thinks they're super fun

-vito: he is got super into sister location and still hasn't moved on to learn the lore of the other games, i think he can't decide between liking funtime foxy or ennard and he has a crush on funtime freddy sorry i don't make the rules also christopher like keeps telling him to get into security breach but he just hasn't yet but he thinks monty gator is hot

-ralph: he just likes making fun of all the animatronics and says his favorite is balloon boy to piss ppl off

-furio: springtrap, he just thinks he's cool looking

-johnny sack: withered bonnie, just based on looks tho he's not into the lore

-artie: every time he's asked what his favorite animatronic is, he tries to think of a more obscure one like shadow bonnie or the blinking heads in sister location or some shit, and everyone gets annoyed and stops asking him and he gets sad, he learns all the deep lore and like reads the books and shit to try and impress ppl

-phil: he thinks fnaf is for losers and says it's gay but he likes the cupcake just cuz i think that is silly

-tony b: he's like normal abt the lore and just plays the games normally but he thinks mangle is cool and likes the design, he lets aj talk abt the lore to him

[monkeyartfiend]

so I was at bread and puppets the political puppet circus when Biden dropped out and I wish I had video taped it but um. the way I found out that he dropped out was that at the political puppet show, the president puppet came out and did a 'breaking news' skit where they told everyone (we were in the middle of nowhere vermont, no one had cell service) in the audience that Biden was dropping out. and the puppet smacked himself in the head and fell over.

[understandableparadox]

Shamlessly posting all my ramblings from twitter on here.

I actully like this show, not enough to break the boycott but enough to pirate it. anyways lets go through the quick list as this show has a range of good points and bad points!

1. Designs. I fucking love monsters, monsters are my Bread, my Butter, My reason for getting up in the morning, yet consistently i found myself disappointed in each of the characters and what they were supposed to be, for instance alastor and vox

these two are supposed to media manifest, alastor is the Radio demon, yet his apperance is more around overtly edgy homestuck troll with horns i couldnt draw yet and vox is giving pyrocynical avatar. their designs are muddied because the concepts are muddied. alastor is not only the radio demon, he is the "voodoo man", the circus, the entertainer, the deal maker, the shadow weaver, the puppet on strings, and a myriad of other resume stuffers that are not needed. there is more then enough. every layer fights each other for attention, the only thing left on him that even remotly represents the radio is his staff that modulates his voice to have a radio static filter and without it he becomes a normal deer esque demon. i do not thing its good design if i can remove one aspect of a charecter and ruin it. this goes for vox as well, though i give them more of a pass because fuck me, he really do be haveing a Television as a head. but once again if i removed that aspect, what else tells me he is the television demon? his tie has a singal symbol on it, he has kinda robotic hands? but not really because he has the exact same hands as alastor leading me to belive he is wearing fingerless gloves or gloves with color blocked fingers which is a werid additon.this is ontop of the annoynce i feel at knowing that one is a recolor of the other minus the heads.

2. the pace.

the story itself moves either way to fucking quickly, i do belive that it was good to end the story itself on a redemption but we dont get enough of pentious being an actul sinner and evil guy to feel as though he deserves the redemption. show us the worst traits of our guests so that we can see the progress they are makeing through out the season so that when they do finally do something heroic and selfless and make it to heaven, we the viewing audiance can also enjoy that unilateral feeling of satisfaction of seeing our fav be vindicated as a Good Guy. im not trying to woobify pentious, exact oppisate, i want pentious to have agency to be evil and i want him to have agency to be good. we get this Somewhat with angel dust as they start makeing concious decisions to better themselves, to extract themselves from things, as well as make awful fucking choices and do Bad Things because again, these are Sinners And Demons who are reaching for redemption and salvation, I do not think we should have seen heaven at all, the embassy? yes, maybe a court of angels in hell to consider charlies plan? sure, but we should have never seen heaven until a sinner could see it.

i think i just had those two but im Bad At Being Concise... anyways viv is better at writing gay people then she is at lesbians which fascinates me to no end.

NEW AND IMPROVED: incorrect FNAF quotes

Uh just forget all the previous posts I can't remember half the quotes I made and also some of them are outdated lore-wise or headcanon-wise so time for a grand reopening of the series(?). May have done some of these quotes exactly the same in the past but heck if I know-

Contains: Headcanons, spoilers for Ruin, hopefully no big mistakes/words I forgot to replace

Speaking of headcanons: I hc that the "classic fnaf" era night guards are all the fnaf 4 bullies. So Michael, Fritz, Jeremy, and the last one is entirely an OC (whom I had described in my old quotes posts but I've renamed her now 'Cus I accidentally gave her the same name as a BATIM character whoops-): Susanna "Susie" Hudson. She's the FNAF 3 guard.

as was before, I get these quotes from the perchance generator and just insert the characters in manually.

-

Withered Foxy: BB? What are you doing here? Balloon Boy, standing in the office: My best.

Montgomery Gator: No, I haven’t… Roxanne Wolf: Probably ran off to get pizza or something. Glamrock Chica: Hey. Moon: Ooh, there you are- Vanessa: What the fu- Roxanne Wolf: I- where were you?! Glamrock Chica: Walking right behind you guys.

Scenes from a resurrection circus

Went up to the Northeast Kingdom to catch Bread and Puppet Theatre’s Our Domestic Resurrection Circus.

[asstrongasyouthink]

The circus you grew up in had penguins? Like, doing an act? Please tell me more, I'm so fascinated by what role the penguins had to play.

so it was a puppet circus? i truly thought my childhood experience was unique at the time but i grew up and met other people raised by hippies and it turns out a lot of small-to-midsize economically depressed american cities have them and all of the puppets look exactly the fuckin same (google bread and puppet if you want to see the prototype)

anyways due to the puppet-based nature of the circus i didn't learn any actual circus skills* but i can do a passable imitation of most of them.** so the animals etc you might imagine a circus having were just children in uncomfortable costumes and since i was the directors stepkid and he didnt want to show favoritism i was the ass half of every 2 person animal puppet we had at one point or another, and i obviously preferred the 1 person puppets like penguins (the goats were also 1 person costumes but made of burlap bc sensory issues hadnt been invented yet >_< so every child hated those) once i got to star in the penguin act bc i was so skilled at embodying Sadness in the form of a waddle

also we did a lot of unison dance numbers (imagine 50-100 children bursting out of a dragon and leaping into geometric formations hissing and cackling the whole time) which means sometimes at a family event like a wedding our sleeper agent cue comes on the playlist and all my siblings drop into a crouch and start dancing. our cousins love it but their brand new spouses are sometimes a bit disturbed by whats happening at their protestant wedding

*we did real juggling not puppet juggling which i can teach but not actually do bc the first step of learning to juggle well involves letting the ball fall down one million times and you have to pick it up and i wasnt having it so i learned to devilstick instead (i can one ball juggle but it's not really related to the 3 ball juggle which is the base of all other juggling including pins flames etc etc) (also the fact that real juggling catalogs came to our house meant a lot of my siblings asking for flaming bullwhips and whatnot for christmas (and a lot of my early memories involve some dude name brian breathing fire in the street))

**later in life i bought myself circus classes from a more climbing-and-tumbling type circus bc i was SO TIRED of having to explain i couldnt do trapeze shit. so yeah i can do trapeze shit now

[always-emo]

I love garlic bread ☺️

Diana Christensen (Network) "Diana Christensen is, without a doubt, one of THE girlbosses of all time. She is the young vice president of programming for the fictional television network UBS and the way she got there is through cold-hearted ambition and ruthlessness. She has one drive and that is ratings. Throughout the film, she manipulates and exploits whoever and whatever she can, from the rage of the discontent American vox populi to a leftist militia to Howard Beale, the film’s protagonist, an unstable aging news anchor. When he threatens to kill himself on air, she sees a possibility for a rating spike. The population has gone cynical, they want anger, they want blood, they want someone who will tell them that the world is awful, and she knows that he’s her man. She exploits his breakdown for profit, his rantings raking in more and more viewers. She turns his show into a spectacle, getting it moved from the news division to her division: entertainment. Because that’s all it is now, entertainment. The circus in bread and circuses.

She is credited with restoring the network, winning awards, and being the decorated guest at industry galas, but she stays impersonal no matter her charm. She marketed Howard to the higher-ups as “a latter-day prophet, a magnificent messianic figure”, yet she doesn’t seem to believe what he says. To her, his worth is limited to that as defined by HUT and Nielsen.

But she knows audiences believe it. She doesn’t care about how this man is cracking, how his directionless angry, cynical message could affect the viewers, feeding into the country’s already unstable climate. No, it’s about the numbers. UBS is the only thing that exists in her world.

When planning for next season’s offerings, she sees potential in a communist guerilla group (think the Weather Underground meets the Symbionese Liberation Army) as an asset, a way to harness the leftist counterculture for capitalist gains. And she succeeds. She offers the group the ability to air their message for profit, tempting them into becoming just another of her capitalist puppets, and by the end of the meeting, they’re pouring over paperwork and ratings, and arguing distribution costs and audience shares with the network representatives. Just like that, the once-Marxist militia became another cog in the capitalist media machine, another asset for Diana to sell.

And when Howard’s show finally loses its novelty and the ratings slip, she decides to seize the moment to debut this new show with one sentence: “Let’s kill the son of a bitch.”

And finally, I leave you with a quote from Max Schumacher  (Howard’s best friend, her short-lived paramour, and the president of the news division whose job she rendered useless)  about her:

“I'm not sure she's capable of any real feelings. She's the television generation. She learned life from Bugs Bunny. The only reality she knows is what comes over her teevee set. She has devised a variety of scenarios for us all to play, as if it were a Movie of the Week. And, my God!, look at us, Louise. Here we are going through the obligatory middle-of-Act-Two scorned wife throws peccant husband out scene. But, no fear, I'll come back home in the end. All her plot outlines have me leaving her and returning to you because the audience won't buy a rejection of the happy American family. She does have one script in which I kill myself, an adapted for television version of Anna Karenina in which she's Count Vronsky and I'm Anna.”

This description has been edited for length. Here is the link to Diana's full description"

Hama (Avatar: The Last Airbender) "The episode she's introduced in is literally titled 'The Puppetmaster'. She describes bloodbending, the power she developed, as "controlling water in another body; enforcing your own will over theirs', and that anyone who perfects bloodbending can "control anything or anyone". Before her fight with Katara, she suggests that bloodbending is not a choice to be seeked, but something already existing. She also enforces her teachings on Katara, wanting her to be a successor even if it goes against Katara's morals"
