#Tonny Marionetta

[ladytrist]

I’m also lowkey kinda dreading if school bus graveyard will go on hiatus again 😭 if so, then I feel like it’ll take another year.

I don’t know what to read anymore.

[stale-breadcrumb]

they've been on my mind a lot lately 👼

[thealisflore]

I changed a few small details

Tap Tonny for better quality

He seems like a saint, yet cracks started to appear on his perfect mask ...I'm curious what type of character he will evolve into

Haven’t been here for a while but…

I like how S2 is just basically

So far

HAPPY MARIONETTA ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY💕

I barely made it in time 😭😭 But here it is, it doesn't matter if I'm late!! (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)

It has been a wonderful year, every week looking forward to the new chapter and discussing it with my friends. I'm happy to say that I was there from day 1, when the new webcomic was announced and when the first 3 chapters were published (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠) Already in chapters 10-11 my brain had decided that it would be my new passion, it caught me and wouldn't let me go again 😆 During that time I made my first fanarts, since they were shipart I was shy to tag Miriam, and later that shame went away sjsjksjdkd. Anyway, I greatly enjoyed this first season and I'm looking forward to another year of Marionetta fangirling!! 💖💖

Same vibes

Except Marionetta is more Ghibli aesthetic, but.. they kind of remind me of each other

Also, the Ringmasters, Cain and Tonny, are extremely different (ones absolutely coocoo and the other is a wimpy loser /affectionate)

Okay so.. I just got done reading the marionetta WEBTOON and on chapter 46 one of the top comments was praising Sahejul and the people in the replies were being very hypocritical in my opinion, I left some comments and here it is.

“Sahed is a jerk!!” So is everyone else in the webtoon. Julia literally came in just yelling racist crap, Kamille is a terrible friend, Dotty is a cheater, and Tonny is a liar. They all have flaws. Yet I notice that Sahed and Kamille got the most shit for it? Tonny is “a nice guy who doesn’t want to do this” which is most likely TRUE! But he’s still doing it, and he knows it’s wrong but is lying to everyone. Julia was racist for quite a while and literally calls everyone around her names in front of their face “she was brainwashed!” Which is true. But everyone excused it? While Kamille (who I hated at the start for being a bad friend) forgot her birthday and wondered off a few times because she wanted to escape being forced into something against her will, gets NO grace? And Sahed, a boy who was taken by colonizers, wants justice and safety for his people, wants to expose the lies of the horrible government is a bit pushy and suddenly he’s the devils incarnate. 💀 Okay.

Did I just make a new blog so I can post this one Marionetta thingy 😱😱 yes 😐

He is Kenough. 🫡🫡

Bonus:

[thepumkinmoth]

this is a throw away theory for Marionetta

Sahed has killed someone but I was wondering who i think it’s definitely someone important to the plot at the end of episode 46 we see a picture of Sahed when he was a kid in the research center, he seemed really close to Steinheimer but after Mr Finnegan’s story Sahed and tonny mention not liking Steinheimer I think Sahed killed Steinheimer to escape but I don’t know how tonny ties in to the story

[alarucha]

I'm reading marionetta, and I have a new obsession

idgaf, he can lie to me, make me sign a dubios contract, kill me, make work in a circus and then feed me to a giant spiritual centipede, he can, he's Tonny

Also, I am the only one that don't actully see him as blond? Kinda make him blond here (I regret a little) but I don't know, he has a gray-haired vibe

[f3r4lfr0gg3r]

Marionetta Theories:

Do you want to know if Tonny is evil or not? Do you wonder why Julia was chosen to kill him? Have I got the two connecting theories for you!

I don’t have a lot of evidence, since we’re only 28 chapters in, but i wanna get these out there to see if they come true!

@jay9marie this is for u. As only other mutual i know reads this comic.

Theory 1: The Custodian

I do not think Sahed is right about Tonny. I don’t think Sahed’s completely wrong either, but he’s missing an important detail: Tonny is not their jailer, he’s the custodian.

When we first meet him, he describes himself as the manager for someone else, not the one who supplies the magic. And this has been true since before the circus even existed:

If you notice the language here, he’s called custodian. Which means he takes care of the one who is truely in charge, the monster in the attic.

Now there’s a lot we don’t know about Tonny’s position. By the wording “allows” he seems to have limited power to invite others to join the castle. Which given how horrible it is inside, is not a very good deal. But we honestly can’t tell if the contracts is something he was told to do or not. We just don’t have the info.

My guess is Tonny has an awareness of the price of his contracts. Look at his face when he makes the contract with dotty:

He’s exhausted by the bags under his eyes, and clearly unhappy, but his set expression tells us he is still going to do it. He’ll doom them to eternity with him, with only the fine print to warn them of what that really means. And again, we don’t know how much of a choice Tonny has, but that’s still not okay.

But! Dotty and her husband bring new life into the castle. And Tonny starts to change.

He’s smiling, leaning against the door in a relaxed posture. His arms are still crossed, suggesting he’s not completely at ease, but he’s happy to see his people smiling again. He’s thrilled his people can be happy in the first place. And when Rainah speaks up and points out it won’t last, he’s willing to bring Dotty and her husband into the very secret that keeps this place running, something i don’t think he’s supposed to do given how even the ever talkative Dotty refused to mention it by name.

And now in the circus, we can see the contract has changed. They still have to stay in the circus, they still live eternally, but now they have to work - which keeps them focused and active, stopping them from falling into the despair of before. But most importantly:

Tonny is no longer confining them to the castle to waste away. He is actively trying to make this situation the best he can. He’s no longer just a monster’s puppet, but a leader dedicated to his people.

And yes, he’s still trapping people in these contracts, which is not good. Sahed (who i suspect escaped whatever research center/prison was keeping him) has a reason to be angry. But now where he can be, Tonny is kind. He’s taking care of his people to the best of his abilities instead of leaving them to rot. All because Dotty and her husband taught him he could.

Which leads me to my second theory:

Theory 2: Julia’s fate

So i’m pretty sure that Julia’s contract was made with the monster in the attic, not Sahed. When we see Kamela go through her contract signing, she is physically near both Tonny, whom she is making a bargain with, and Sahed, who helps her enter the spirit realm.

Given her smile, her trip is pleasant and short, she frays a bit, but nothing like Julia.

Her experience is terrifying, nothing is explained except the contracts own words, and if she resists she’s punished with a nightmarish experience. Neither sahed nor tonny’s deal with kamela goes like this. It’s frightening and inhumane.

But most damningly of all, when Julia wakes back in her body, she is directly under the monster in the attic.

There’s the contract, directly before Julia, but Sahed is nowhere in sight, unlike how it was when he was helping Tonny. This makes it pretty obvious that while Sahed definitely wants Tonny gone, he’s not the one who struck the deal. It was the attic monster.

By why would the attic monster want to get rid of its custodian? Especially when he still takes care of them and provides contracts.

The answer, i suspect comes from theory 1. Tonny has been putting the people of the circus first more and more, adding new clauses and promsing to make their lives pleasant. With all this attention diverted, the attic monster is no longer getting what it thinks it deserves. It is no longer first in Tonny’s priorities, and the priorities of all the circus folk.

It wants a new custodian to focus all their attention on it. To feed it with despair and contracts, and prioritize it alone. And it has chosen Julia.

[imprisoned-marrionetta]

Y’all what would happen if we trapped these guys in a room together.

I LOVE the body language in this panel.

We’re so used to seeing Sahed tower over Tonny when in S1 it was the “Sahed Show”. Here, we can totally see how the dynamics changed.

Sahed, hunched over, slouching, looking DOWN like a puppy that did wrong. Tonny, scowling, standing tall, arms crossed like an angry parent. All this and with Julia in between them.
