The curse of having thoughts

[crispycreambacon]

First art of the new year is all about re-structuring your internal monologue.

In my early 20s I was working full time in London with many social commitments and a variety of hustles and side projects.

In my later mid 20s I cater to many sensory and social drain needs I have and indulge in special interests while respecting my lower energy reserves and celebrating my different way of processing the world.

Did I get more autistic? Nah. I got less fake.

[Art description: Three panels showing figures on a black background. Long descriptions follow.

1. A drawing of OP as a person with hip-length hair and a dress standing sadly with her hands clapsed together in front of her. She is coloured a muted rainbow gradient. Behind her, two pairs of nondescript figures chat while smiling. White text says, ‘I’m getting more and more autistic the older I get.’ 2. OP’s colours are brighter, and her expression looks happier. Crayon-like scribbles have crossed out the text from the previous panel. 3. OP’s colours are vibrant, and she balances on one leg and throws her arms out as she dances. The text above has changed to say, ‘I’m becoming more and more myself the older I get.’ \End descriptions]

You know I have been tinkering with a transgender headcanon for Dr. Sprat, both in the transfem and transmasc direction, and I have come to the conclusion that first of all. It would be transmisogyny to headcanon Dr. Sprat as transfem considering his entire deal is that he tricks beings with a false persona to lure them into danger, getting them hooked onto drugs and killing them. (And he's also a. rapist. coughs.) But second of all, he is actually the most cisgender puppet out of the entire cast. Namely in that his entire character goes against the idea of transition.

He is given the opportunity to remake himself, have an entirely new identity, and what does he do with it? Just scramble some letters in his name and call it a day. The identity he uses to lure people is entirely tied to his old life as Pythagoras to the point he was waiting for someone to figure it out. His motivation partially stems from the fact he was considered the smartest man alive, and he could not let anything get in the way of that. Hell, if he really believed in reincarnation so much, why didn't he just let himself die in that fire and start a new life? Why was he so afraid of death that he found the solution to become immortal? A lot of reasons, but a big one I think is he cannot let go of his past.

In contrast, take the Substitute who is extremely transgender and I will not hear otherwise (and I will be using she/it for her because it's my post screw you). The one thing it wants more than anything is the ability to feel. The want for a human experience that her predecessor took for granted. But more importantly, it does not want to remain as the Professor. She frequently changed into different, vastly distinct puppets throughout Season 5, and she longed to have a new life, an identity separate from who people assume her to be. It literally wants to wear a new skin. If that is not the trans experience, I don't know what is!!! Get this puppet on estrogen already!!!

Also, the Professor is also trans to an extent with his "I wear whatever feels comfortable" statement and his arc into becoming a better person. They literally transform into a new puppet even if that puppet is basically an upgraded version of their past self. Still! What unites the Professor and the Substitute is their capacity to change, their potential to transition into a new person.

Dr. Sprat possesses no such quality. Now it is entirely possible that he can change in the next season, but as it stands, he is at his core too terrified of change to even consider changing pronouns. What a pity.

Every transfem trio should have an emo genie, a rat hologram itching for blood skin and an actual rat

These three have been rotating in my head for eons and I don't have rendered art of them yet, so have some sketches for now. In order we have: Thespian (the Substitute), Sadiah (the Genie), and Heraclitus (the Rat). They all use she/her though in Thespian's case, it also uses it/its for flavor (reclaiming its lack of corporealness which is metaphorically a link to humanity but aNYWAYS). Will be posting more about them. Chuckles.

Do people care if u get inspired by other polls.... Anyway the red/blue poll I see going around is nice but I found that I associate my friends with all sorts of colors so. here

[crispycreambacon]

Have y'all ever gotten so obsessed with an AU version/headcanon of your favorite character. So much so that the more you develop this alternate version of the character, they basically become your OC. You've felt such a deep adoration for this character that you took it upon yourself to explore different facets that the original creator never would have thought of otherwise, and suddenly, you feel like a co-parent to the character. Not the original character, specifically the character in this specific circumstance that may or may not happen in canon. In a way, that is your child. The child born from a passion so overwhelming you have to let it out. And I think that's beautiful.

OUUGHDHDJDJD CRISPYYYY OH MY GOSHHH ?2!2?2?1?1 JUST NOW — ON A WHIM — I DECIDED TO FINALLY READ YOUR SPRAFESSOR FIC AND OOOHHHH MH GIFHJHRHRIDKDKJDJFKDJDB DUUUDEEE THAT WAS SSOOO?2!2)1??-?/?/?/ HOLY PEAK O H MY GOSH.

ALSO??1?2?2? I WAS NOT EXPECTING IT TO BE DEDICATED TO ME WHATSOEVER OUUGJFJFJFJDJ,,,, I WAS GENUINELY SO SHOCKED WHEN I SAW THAT BUT WAAAUUUGJFJFJDJD THANKUUU SO MUCH CRISPY?2?2?2?/??/ 😢😢😢😭😭😭😢❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ACTUALLY HAD A TEAR IN MY EYE A LITTLE BIT ,,,, POSSIBLY,,, OUUUFJFHDJDJ THAT WAS SO SWEET WTF. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 **YOU** ARE SO WONDERFUL!!!!!!

I AM GOING TO BE REREADING THIS . SO MUCH . AND I ONLY READ IT A BIT AGO SO I MIGHT COME BACK LATER WITH MORE FEEDBACK BUT DUUUDEEEEEEEE THAT FELT SO . OUUGHDHDJDHDHDJ LITERALLY COINCIDENTALLY TAILORED TO ME ISTG ,, I AM THE BIGGEST SUCKER EVER FOR ONE-SIDED ENEMIES , CHRISTIANITY TALK , FUCK TON OF EXISTENTIALISM , GODDDDDDDD IT WAS ALL SO . HOLY FUCKING SHIT .

EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT WAS GENUINELY SOO… I CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN IT RN . BUT OH MY GODDDDDD THE HAUNTING PRESENCE OF DR. SPRAT’S “betrayal” OR WHATEVER YOU’D CALL IT ,,, ALL OF THE ALLUSIONS TO HIS PLAN UNBEKNOWNST TO EVERYONE BUT HIM , WANTING TO SIMULTANEOUSLY BREAK CONNIE APART BUT ALSO HOLD / TOUCH THEM TENDERLY ,,, THE CONFLICTING EMOTIONS WAS DONE SO WELL IM SO . YOU COMPLETELY BLEW IT OUT OF THE PARK ON SO MANY LEVELS OH MY GODD ?2??21

ALSO . CRISPY CREAM BACON . I FELT SO MUCH WHILE READING THIS BUT THE FUCKING PART WHERE CONNIE MENTIONED MAKING UP NEW CONSTELLATIONS WITH HIS PARENTS AND DR. SPRAT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS UP WITH “Where are they now?” , KNOWING HE JUST FUCKING RETIRED THEM ?1?2?2 OOHHHHHHHH WHEN I TELL YOU MY HEART ACTUALLY STOPPED YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE . GENUINE CHILLS THAT WAS SO . I CAN’T EVEN ARTICULATE AND I WISH SO BADLY I COULD BUT OH MY FUCKING GOD . HOLY FUCKING SHIT DUDE .

THIS IS ALREADY GETTING A BIT LONG AND I DEFINITEEELYYY NEED TO REREAD THE FIC TO DIGEST EVERYTHING BETTER ( i quite literally started typing this the moment after i finished reading the comments on the fic on ao3 ) BUT HERE’S A LIST OF — SOME OF — THE LINES THAT STOOD OUT TO ME IN . SO MANY WAYS . GENUINELY INEXPLAINABLE THIS WAS ALL SOOOO OUUUFJDHDJDJ ?1?2??1?1

- “Careful there... Me? Nope, I’m free all night,” Dr. Sprat replied, pulling the Professor back to safety even though it would do him well to just let the Professor fall off.

- ‘Just so he could get to know his lifelong enemy a little more.’

- ‘Connie trusting such a secretive soul with his own secret? Sprat could only soar to the top of the y-axis.’

- “Think of it as me breathing life into them.”

- THIS ENTIRE FUCKING SECTION AND PART REALLY…. HOLY SHIT MAN:

[ “Sorta like doing God’s job for Him!” spoke one of them in a high-pitched tone.

The other, pointing his “head” at Connie, asked, “Do you believe in God?”

“That’s a- Well,” Connie racked his brains grasping the memories of when he had met God, “I guess? It’s all so murky though...”

Sprat held in a smirk, knowing God was standing next to Connie, and they didn’t even have a clue. A darker part of him imagined Connie, garbed in the pure robes he and his followers had worn, kneeling before him while drinking in his sermons, perhaps drinking his... My, my, that was too perverse even for him. ]

- “Perhaps it was God’s plan all along,” Sprat chuckled. “Maybe this is my life’s purpose... To give life to those who either lost it or never had it in the first place.”

- “I’m curious. As a puppet, have you ever been acutely aware of the cloth that makes up your body? Do you ever feel the stitches that hold your arms together? How do you go through your day-to-day life knowing that one matchstick can lead to the end of your li-” ( waow. this wa sso. waow. fanart of that now. /ref /nfofcbutohmygodohmtogdddd )

- ‘What did he mean by we? Maybe Connie wasn’t, but he was sorely mistaken for assuming the same of Sprat.’

- “Like saying ‘Hey, the purple daddy in the sky wants you to suffer, so don’t cry about it.’”

- ‘He flailed his arms up in the air, waiting for an answer, not knowing that the self-appointed God and Noah had already answered, ‘No.’’

I COULD GENUINELY GO THROUGH AND ANNOTATE THIS ENTIRE FUCKING THING — AND HAVE BEFORE WITH ANOTHER FIC — BUT I’LL END WITH THIS ONE FOR NOW:

“Interesting. And do you think you’ll deserve what is coming to you?”

ANYWAAAYSSS OUUUGJFJFJFJF CRISPY THIS ENTIRE FIC WAS TRULY SO . FUCKING INCREDIBLE . THE DOUBLE MEANINGS , THE HAUNTING PRESENCE OF THINGS TO BE REVEALED , THE ALREADY INSANE EXISTENTIALISM SIMULTANEOUSLY INTERTWINED WITH DESCRIPTIVE LANGUAGE *SPECIFIC TO PUPPETS*…. IT WAS ALL SO . WOW .

I REALLY REALLY WANT TO SAY MORE BUT I FEEL LIKE I CAN’T SAY MUCH OF ANY SUBSTANCE AT THE MOMENT SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE LITTLE ?1??11? DT ?1?2?2? MADE MY DAY? WEEK? WHO KNOWS? A LOT!!! AND MADE ME A LITTLE EMOTIONAL OUUGHFJFJF ,, YOU’RE SO SWEET 😭😭🫶🫶🫶

I HOPE YOU HAVE A LOVELY LOVELY DAAYY AND HERE IS A GOLD STAR FOR READING THIS FAR ! ⭐️ OKAY OKAY BUHBYYEEEEE !!!!!

Bat Nonnie, this is one of the sweetest comments I've ever gotten. Oh my gosh. I was genuinely smiling the entire time I read this. Kind words like this are part of why I keep writing. Sincerely, thank you for reading. I really am happy that you enjoyed it this much, and thank you for telling me such a lovely thing about it. Let it be known that YOU made my day, and I hope you're having a lovely one too <3

[crispycreambacon]

pokes my head in here… haiiii…. been a minute >_< ANYWAAAYSSSS QUESTION ! SINCE I HAVE BEEN MORE PUPPET HISTORY PILLED ( ha ) , I HAVE BEEN PONDERING MY EARLY PH DAYS AGAIN ,,,

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU STILL GAF ABT THE PROFESSOR X GOD ( not sure what their ship name is unfortunately ) AND IF YOU POSSIBLY HAVE ANY NEW / UNPOSTED ART OF THEM ,,, ^_^ still grieving my magenta cyclops king ( /gender neutral ? ) never appearing in s7 💔💔 i was so sure 💔💔💔

( also unrelated but i was finally able to edit for the first time in 9 months after capcut’s whole “haha i’m gonna make my app pay to use” thing ,,, just something that made me happy ::33 hoping i can make smth puppet history related soon )

(( also should i start puppet history posting sometime in the future ? been pondering it but i hardly know how to work tumblr posts ngl and it is scary <//33 ))

- 🦇

BAT NONNIE!! It's been a while! Oh my gosh I hope you are doing well :D (I'm gonna get you for that pilled pun-)

I DO REMEMBER PROFESSOR X GOD AND I DO STILL LOVE THEM!! Unfortunately I'm not as into them in light of. recent Horrors (looking at S7 being yaoi central), but I still think they have a thing going on. They are not officially dating, but they are. something. A situationship? Either way, God makes fanfic of them together. They pop in once in a while to torment their appointed pookie, and the Professor just takes it like a good little puppet

I haven't done much art of them in a while, but I do have this pretty old meme redraw sketch that I never posted here uh

Based on this meme. I will not apologize for art.

They do not officially have a ship name, but I have been calling it Prehistoric Men Yaoi—a riff on Old Men Yaoi. They are Older than that—for the funnies. There's also Personal Friends if you want a more serious name plus it's in reference to the Professor calling God his "personal friend" (which is... very homosexual... I gotta say...)

YIPPEEEEEEEE I'm really glad you're able to edit. If you ever make an edit for PH, I'd love to see it! And I'd love to see what you cook up for PH in general, so I'd say go for it in terms of posting! It can be a bit scary, but remember that fandom really is meant to be fun first and foremost. You can be casual about it. Just add the puppet history tag to your posts and send it off!

Brain Coffee Sucrose Kudos

My knees ache My hands soften My eyes waver Pretty often My stomach Filled with the fact I have not eaten The acid is fleetin’ Out of my holes It’s taken a toll But I resist Through this mist

In all honesty, I don’t know what I’m doing These figures assume my brain is a-brewing I have not even shuffled the water to boil Yet I fire up the wire and sizzle this tinfoil

Coming up with 12-syllable lines is hard Look, I’m short of one in that last lyric I make a pretty terrible bard Can you figure out the gimmick?

No you can’t Because I’m a twisted cycle path And you’re just a bike doing the math Balancing a steady curve To not tumble into a swerve I can’t tell if your tires are flat Or if your ire is sat As you read through my stir fry Of words hung out to dry

Is poetry really that difficult? I wrote this in… I think 10 minutes (probably longer) This is not a good poem by any means I’m just spilling out my words ‘Cause if I don’t I will explode Into food for the birds Like a toad And beans

I guess this is what happens when you’re left with only your words
