She had only agreed to this because Sebastian had asked nicely, and anything HYDRA-related always landed in her email. It was the only thing she had asked of SHEILD when they had asked her to work for them. But Addie hadn't expected to end up investigating some tiny town with one main road and too many tilted little houses.

"You know I kill people, right?" She sighed as they rolled to a stop at a set of barricades. There 4-5 police cruisers from the town they had diven through to get here.

definitely"I know, and I might need your skills yet, dear. For now, play nice and roll down the window for the officers." The old man said as he pulled out one of his many badges to show, as Addie did what he had instructed, squinting when the flashlight beam swept the car's interior. In the distance, she could see the ghost of small fires being put out here and there. This was definetly odd but not supernaturally so. At least not that she could see.

"Officer, my partner and I are with the FBI. We are here to investigate the potential cause of this tragedy. We have reason to believe it is in association with a known terrorist organization. Who is the highest-ranked officer here?"

I am sad that Back to the Rock decided to just give Mokey rod-hands full time

In the original puppet show, Mokey had two sets of hand that would be used depending on what was needed for a scene.

A set of rod-hands like the rest of the main Fraggle characters, and a set of live-hands (which are like a pair of gloves that a puppeteer wears to act as the character's hands).

Something easily facilitated by her large billowing robe. Though there's various Muppets who do a similar thing even with tight clothing such as Ernie.

Anyways the live-hands is how it was so easy to do scenes of Mokey doing stuff like painting, writing, throwing things, and other stuff in the original series.

If there's an object that either can't be easily attached to a rod-hand, or that needs to be immediately thrown, there's a pretty good chance Mokey is going to be the one to pick it up.

Such as the "hideous round thing" that she picks up and throws to distract Sprocket in episode 1 of the original series. It's too large and smooth to easily (and realistically) have a rod-handed puppet hold, but a live-handed puppet could pick it up and throw it quiet easily.

It could just be because rod-hands have advanced since the original series, and the hands now have greater pose ability than the kind in the 80s, so live-handed puppets have become redundant when not necessary.

Like Mokey doesn't play the piano or anything super intricate that requires extreme finger dexterity that couldn't just be added in post or something.

Though I do think Mokey's live-hands gave her an expressiveness and groundedness in her movements that the rod-handed puppets didn't have in the original series.

Live-hands are more fluid, dynamic and nimble compared to rod-hands just by default.

When she did something, like paint, or touch something, or even touch her friends, with her live-hands it was always more grounded and believable than when any of the characters with rod-hands did something similar.

Like when Mokey pulls out a poem and is holding it, she's literally holding it with real hands, but if Gobo pulls out a postcard from Uncle Matt that same episode it can look kind of funny, because it just doesn't look as realistic. Sometimes they didn't manage to get the fingers on his rod-hand to close all the way, so the letter is just awkwardly stuck to his hand.

Same with the other rod-hand Fraggles whenever they hold a piece of paper.

Human hand in a glove will always be more 'realistic' (believable) feeling in movement and action compared to a fake hand being controlled by a stick.

And I think that is something missing from the new version of Mokey.

Original Mokey was always an artistic dreamer who could sometimes feel like she had her head in the clouds, but also had these moments of being very grounded and insightful, and was very down to earth in general.

Mokey was the most physically affectionate of her friends in the original, and I feel like that was due to, at least in part, her being a live-hand puppet a lot of the time.

Like there are just scenes where she'll just be holding one of her friends hands while she guides them along, or she'll cradle their heads when she hugs them, and there's just an extra layer of depth that comes with it being done by live-hand puppetry.

There were actions that Mokey as a live-handed puppet could do that the rest of the main cast couldn't do due to her status as a live-handed puppet, and the old show took advantage of that, and I feel like that's where at least a bit of her characterization came from.

Because for a lot of those scenes weren't of Mokey doing something complicated that made live-hands neccessary, no, in a lot of them she's just talking with her friends and gesturing with her hands, or being physically affectionate, and what she's doing with her hands aren't even the focus of what's going on in the scene.

In the episode where Wembley is looking for his job, when Mokey is walking him up to the Gorg's garden to get radishes. She's holding hands with him as she leads him up there, but that's barely in frame at all.

To the point that their hands are bobbing in and out of frame as they walk, and it only lasts a few seconds.

The hand holding was completely unnecessary, it barely makes it into the scene at all, but it was still something the puppeteers decided to do, because Mokey holding her friends hand while leading them somewhere was a Mokey kind of thing to do.

And it's the tiny moments like that, that I think is missing from Mokey in Back to the Rock.

HE IS SOLE IN BELIEVING that he hasn't caused enough damage . not enough pain for his liking . not yet . but it was ... close . a exquisite moment of anguish .

I'm not well versed in UK geography, I know where Wales is on a map, but idk about actual distances with cars or trains, so I hope that the journey won't be too long. (I've been to UK only twice, once in London to visit some friends and another one to Sheffield for a friend's graduation)

Please do that, ppl sharing their concert memories is one of my fave types of ask to receive!

if i remember to post this and not just keep it in my drafts forever because i'm too lazy to post this shit at 2 am. new oc dropped ace attorney style. meet river heights, my agent of chaos and most competent detective that is still alive and employed. kinowing this series' track record.

there's some info ab her as well as some au doodles & info below the cut if you're interested. stay silly >:)

about river: river heights is a detective known to be phoenix wright's friend, someone he met through his mentor before her untimely death. she is a detective helps him out sometimes when she's not actively involved in whatever is going on OR is busy doing something else entirely. <-- this happens a lot because she loves her job so much that it is 70% of her hobbies and takes up 90% of her free time.

she is very loosely based off of nancy drew because that was my favorite detective series growing up, and inspired the concept of river as a.. detective. yeah. her name is an explicit reference to that, and many of the notable cases she's solved during her long, LONG career (started unofficially at the age of 12, 13 and officially at around 15) are also inspired by the book series.

she is (or was, i suppose) romantically involved with mia fey and diego armando/godot.... polycule win forever and ever. i hope you guys enjoy her.

au doodles and info about them below vv

left: au where godot doesn't die in jail or wtv after bttb. river stays in the us instead of leaving to cope with her grief and gets to bully phoenix into breaking up with his toxic situationship (kristoph gavin.) so they can ruin his life.

center au: evil au where after everything that's happened to her river snaps and starts fucking shit up for everyone. hundreds die. thousands blackmailed. she becomes what she swore to oppose, and looks so hot doing it.

right au: instead of a regular detective, river is a paranormal detective! aka the phasmophobia au. ghost hunting is an actual recognized part of the law and legal proceedings, used to crack cases where there is seemingly no evidence left to find, and river is one of the best investigators out there. after getting disbarred, phoenix joins his best friend on these investigations - with the spirits of mia fey and godot staying behind to help as well?
