@koro-is-caffeinated I've done a dive in the past, I don't even know why, but the potato battery that is my brain gave this to me. So, I hope you'll enjoy

~

"Wakey wakey! I got groceries!"

"We got groceries. We split the bill."

The voices of the two boys rang surprisingly crystal clear in the dusty hall. The propped up bed was still looming in the shadow, with its occupant facing the closed window. They didn't move of an inch.

Ryan dropped the vegetables-filled cloth bags with a soft thud, sending a carrot rolling on the wooden floor. Steven, carrying a way more voluminous load behind him, mumbled something very unflattering under his breath.

"Aw, come on man, work with me here. I know you like sunlight, yesterday I found you watering the plants."

Here, this may have been an overstatement. Being found fidgeting with an empty glass next to the succulents on the window sill while a puddle of water was slowly making its way around the pots hardly equated to 'watering the plants'. But he was trying his best. Since when Sara brought those little colorful plants to him, the Professor seemed to have gotten better. Ryan didn't know that under all that blue fuzz there was a green (a very, very pale greenish) thumb, but having something to care about could not be bad.

The scholarly streak returned too, he has been found flipping through the pages of José Rizal's diary, and chattering with the succulents, telling weird history facts. Almost like the old times.

It always happened when he thought nobody was around, at first. If somebody was to interrupt, the Professor returned silent. Then, with a bit of patience, if you asked the right questions you could get interesting answers. His knowledge was coming back, hand-in-hand with the majority of his memory, and his taste for jellybeans.

Not for Beef Boy, though.

If the Ryan-of-then had been told that he would miss the lessons at Puppet University, the Ryan-of-then would have laughed it off. The Ryan-of-now instead believed in it. But the Ryan-of-then made mistakes, and the Ryan-of-now was working hard to fix them.

No matter how many death threats he received daily.

Ryan rushed to open the window. The warm californian breeze rushed inside, carrying a vague smell of freshly-cut grass with it. Outside, the skyline of the City of Angels glimmered in the heat. Then he approached the bed.

The Professor, with his unkempt blue hair hiding half his stitched-up face, remained still.

"C'mon, you're not sleeping. You snore when you do."

A golden eye cracked open.

"Well, Beef Boy, I don't snore. Or, I didn't. Not until somebody fed my lungs to a T-rex."

"We already talked about this. It was the Genie who- you know what? Nevermind. We got groceries. Vegetables and meat and other stuff. Oh, and your supplements."

"Talking of supplements, Ryan" somebody shouted from the back. Steven got rid of all the bags, except for one small package, who was still sitting on the floor. He pointed at it, before crossing is arms with a firm expression. "Your job to store them away. Because I am not touching that."

"Yeah yeah yeah, I know. In all honesty, Stevie, it's been years that you know the Professor. And you still recoil at the sight..."

Ryan picked up the box, and then pretended to fling it at his friend.

"...of a dead spider?"

Steven winced away. "Very funny. I remember when you had to catch them with your own hands. You were all squeamish."

"It's not my fault if that blue abomination let me believe that he hunted them! He could have said that he bought them from pet stores since, you know, the very beginning."

A faint wheeze interrupted them, before being cut short by a coughing fit.

"You should be grateful -cough cough cough- I wasn't planning on telling you that. Seeing you crawl around with a glass was too funny."

"He got a point, Ryan. I have to agree with the 'blue abomination' this time." admitted Steven, chuckling at the memory.

"Jellybean for Steven! Beef Boy, I want you to know that I caved in only because you were taking forever to get my snacks."

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Let's make fun of who brought you back from kingdom come, shall we?"

The light in McNasty's eyes grew colder. The other one, smelling the storm in the air, tactically retreated out of the room.

"Ryan Steven- yes, don't make that face, I know your name- 'Beef Boy' Bergara, care to tell me why you had to bring me back from kingdom come?"

"Don’t get this heated, the bandages are coming off-"

"A! An unlucky accident, I ate too much dolphin sushi in one bite and choked on it. Your expertise with CPR saved me."

"CPR? That is so gross-"

"B! That bloody Genie appeared out of thin air and shoved me under a train. You, like in a greek myth, travelled to the Underworld to rescue me."

"Technically it was the Genie's fault-"

"Or C! You were so utterly inept at history that you couldn't manage to win-" "The algorithm was faulted!" "-Not even once, and you chose to sell me to the Genie, and then you reanimated me out of guilt?"

Ryan stood still, the warm wind suddendly ice cold. He felt his muscles get tense with will to fight, his nerves ready to explode. He gripped the spiders' box. Then, like a in a flash, he saw Sara's disapproving stare after the Loudun episode, after that Satan gave him the cup. His head dropped.

"C. C like Cretino." He muttered.

"We got a C Dog in here! Ough ough ough!" He could hear the Professor's mockery echoing in his hears, but not really. All he could think about was how, no matter how hard he tried, he could never deserve forgiveness. He killed somebody, damn it! A fucking insufferable somebody, but still. How do you get back from that?

"...ough- Beef Boy, are you crying?" "No..." 'Not yet' would have been the correct answer, but Ryan wasn't going to tell it to the stitched freak lying beside him. He took in a deep breath.

"I... I am sorry. Again. For everything."

The Professor tilted his head.

"Hmmm... Point to Beef Boy, correct answer! Here, come get a jellybean."

The boy laughed, hoarse, trying to keep in the tears. If he shed some of them, McNasty didn't say anything.

"You- you don't even have a satchel anymore!" "Right, because it is, say it with me... " "In the Cretaceous period." "In the Cretaceous period, correct! You deserve another jellybean."

Ryan plopped on the bed, without saying anything. For a while, they stayed silent, without saying anything, staring quietly at Los Angeles. Then Beef Boy opened the box he was still holding.

"Do you... Would you like some spiders? As an appetizer?"

"Appetizer? Appetizer for what?"

"For wha- Lunch, what else? Who do you think we went shopping for?"

"You intend to make lunch? As in, preparing it yourself? Thanks but no thanks."

McNasty snatched the spiders away from Ryan's hands, incredibly fast for someone with an half-eaten arm. The latter rolled his eyes.

"As in, Steven's in the kitchen."

"Omph" was the comment. That blue monster had already started stuffing his face. "Den if coulf worpf" he garbled with his mouth full. He gulped down. "Then it could work."

Beef Boy got up, before turning to help the other get down.

"You're covered in spider crumbs... What kind of day is it, today?" "Crutches will do just fine, thanks. But why are we going? Do you really want to help Steven cooking?" "No, I want to keep Wheatley far away from knives and fire... Here we go. How are you feeling?"

The Professor swayed just for a moment, then he planted his crutches firmly to the ground.

"Perfectly good... ouch! I didn't thought this bed was this close... I have to get better at having a blind eye. Shall we go? I smell good stuff in the making."

They started going towards the kitchen, from where effectively nice smells where coming. Wheatley's laughter rose up, followed by the Oars' ones and a comment by Bones. Steven yelled something that vaguely resembled "No! Away! It's hot!"

"By the way... how do you know my middle name?"

"Oh, Shane told me."

"Shane?"

McNasty didn't look up. Using crutches required all of his attention.

"Yes, Shane. We chat sometimes, you know. He wanted to know how I am. Unlike you, he cares."

Ryan dodged the bullet. "I thought your existences couldn't overlap"

"Exactly, overlap" The teacher side now was popping back. "We can't meet, but we can see pictures of each other. We can talk about each other. And he recently discovered that we can text to each other. Telephone calls don't work"

Ryan rubbed his eyes. "That fucker... and how recently did he discover this? No, wait, don't answer. He didn't say anything to me. I could throttle him."

"And I could throttle you Beef Boy! So, don't tempt me. Oh, look, what is boiling in the pot?"

"In the pot, nothing" said Steven, focused on slicing tomatoes without slicing Wheatley's fingers. "I am making homemade hamburgers. Do you like hamburgers?"

"Dolphin hamburgers?"

"Beef hamburgers, Professor."

"Shut up Beef Boy, what do you know? But yes, I could accept, for once."

Puppet History Dnd AU

Since @slimylittlemaggot has been doing so much AMAZING art for this AU, I couldn’t resist doing a bit of a write up for what the plot might be!!! (Check out their character designs for The Professor, Ryan, and Steven!!!)

The Professor is a Chronurgy Wizard who teaches at a well renowned magic school, Ryan is his apprentice and the other special guests are students studying at the academy (explains why there are repeat guests and such)

Ryan is studying to be a wizard, but ends up becoming a warlock by making a deal with his otherworldly patron, the genie

All of the musical guest puppets don’t really have to be explained away… this is a fantasy universe. Horses can talk. Hippos can sing. Oars can fall in love.

As @slimylittlemaggot mentioned, the Professor is still a puppet. No one cares. You can kill someone by making a ‘your mom’ joke in dnd. A sentient puppet is FINE.

Essentially, the Professor takes Ryan (and another student) through time to learn different lessons about magic and history. They encounter different people / beings along the way (the puppets, god, all that jazz) who help them to learn about the different events like on the show.

The puppet characters won’t be exactly the same as in the show, since this AU takes place in a world with a completely different history than our own. However, the events the Professor teaches Ryan about are similar in spirit and nature to the world events Shane chooses to cover on PH, but are all connected to magic / the invention / discovery of important spells and artifacts that influenced its history. That being said, certain puppet characters will remain the same, others being slightly altered to better fit storytelling from a fantasy setting.

I’m unsure exactly on how the coveted cup / history master situation would work (thoughts on calling it ‘history wizard / lizard’ as a reference to the latest ep???), but the point of conflict in this AU would DEFINITELY be Ryan getting jealous about how the other students always seem to be better at history / magic than him. (Which of course leads him to making a deal with the genie in order to be better at magic and accidentally getting the Professor “killed” / sent back in time, however that would work in this AU).

I’m not EXACTLY sure about how the Substitute would work in this AU, but due to the existence of magic, he could definitely be some sort of evil clone / alternate timeline version of the Professor, or even some evil being pretending to be him!!! This and the Professor’s “death” (since death in dnd is rarely permanent, he could actually die!?!?) are two things that I don’t have concrete ideas on rn but know that there are almost LIMITLESS ways to translate them into this AU (very exciting!!! If you have ideas, please do share!!!)

I think it would be very cool to incorporate the PCs from SD&DND into this AU somehow… maybe as students at the magic school and possibly guests who come along for some “episodes”??? (I just love Steve, Stephanos and Quezza so much, dammit!!!)

Getting kind of meta here, but I think it would be silly if “Estranged Producer Shane Madej” was actually the DM. Does anyone in-world know about him??? Who knows. But he IS the creative mind behind Puppet History and it only makes sense for him to be connected to this AU in some way (if anyone thinks of a different, in-universe role for him to fill PLEASE lmk!!!)

Steven is NOT an alien in this au. Why would you ever think that? He could never be an alien. No way. He’s the LEAST alien guy I’ve ever seen in my life. (lying)

If you want to add onto this post or type out some au ideas in the tags, PLEASE do!!! Brainstorming with the community is so silly and I LOVE hearing what you Watcher Weirdos have to say!!! (Also, I typed this post on my computer. That’s how seriousI got about this. The brainrot is real).

(If you want more Watcher brainrot, check out @aceforwhatevenisthis and i’s Mr Peabody and Sherman Puppet History AU. Ace wrote out a miraculous lore post here, and drew a silly little screenshot here!!!)

I’d like to think Padoru never gave up in loving Ōru even when he left to follow Musashi as his new master. He just kept waiting at the docks with the fishing boats until his soulmate finally came back home to his arms.

Top 5 Beatdown Chain Restaurants

I have not laughed this hard in a good while.

Steven went from insisting he is not an expert to proclaiming himself the greatest and best foodie. Love to see it.

All the handshakes.

“The pegging never stops” Please I watch these with my mother 😭

Took me a moment to figure out why the Scentbird sponsorship made me so happy. (It was because Sword Oar talked about Scentbird in a PH ep. And I wrote a whole post about it.)

Ryan massaging the board, for some reason.

“I’m the People’s Lister” Wasn’t that called into question after the whole Bucky thing

Steven saying “goddamn” and then not reacting to Shane’s reaction

Shrimp of the Void

“the Shanemeister”

Shane hiding behind his board.

“Let’s start with the threeway” their reactios lmao

Steven using the word “translucent”, followed by various noises of disgust from Ryan and Shane.

Shane ripping off the thingy that covered his number 1 and throwing it away.

Ryan going for a high five and Shane hugging him instead, Steven staring directly into the camera while Shane and Ryan celebrate in the background. Amazing editing too.

Steven walking off set.

“Those are for you and for me!” - “Oh my God, dude, two kings sitting at Denny’s!”

“Stevie Lim”

One of my new favorite episodes. I love that they are usually respectful to the expert but since this episode’s expert is Steven, they can dunk on him all they want.

Also, I am but a humble German and have never been to any of these restaurants but I am absolutely here for the STELLAR energy this episode.

[poppals]

i just want to quietly and personally thank shane noodle man madej for extending every little kindness towards lonely queer hearts like mine this season

from very explicitly writing "gay oars" into into their PH song in the xmas special so there can be no confusion

to calling the mailbox (after many strange jokes about shane making love to and potentially impregnating said mailbox?) a 'he' like nbd

to saying we were "all doing" bisexuality and to "love everybody" in weird wonderful world

to calling out his own "heteronormative bullshit" on occassion and taking responsibility for oversights born of privilege while promising to learn and resist staying silent in regards to tough issues, engendering my trust

to carrying through and loudly defending human rights and encouraging direct action when it is incredibly risky to do so as the founder of a fledgling media company

to presenting a soft weird version of masculinity that is unafraid of being kind and caring and rejecting competition and physical prowess/intimidation, and replacing it with playfulness, curiosity, an appreciation for the small things, a passion for creativity and community, a comfort in being true to yourself... refreshing for someone like myself, who is slowly accepting a transmasc identity and wanted to see a version of masculinity that wasn't toxic

and honestly much more. i've only been watching bfu and watcher since like january, and i've already compiled too many examples to list in a gd tumblr text post haha. i just. i really appreciate it.

The Dancing Plague (27.1% of 1 answer votes)- not a surprise. the winner was also the most common answer. y’all just really love that ep

  Fun facts:

Interestingly, even though only 38.7% paired episodes/songs, the list shows about the same number of votes for ep/song in the higher tier. I guess a good ep makes for a good song, or vice versa lmao

The highest paired episode/song voted was, unsurprisingly, Plague/Didn’t Make ‘em Dance

For like 80% of the time, Necklace and Pricy Ice were Strong seconds in their respective polls, until suddenly all the samurai/gay oar fans showed up and got their ep to second place.

I find it interesting Isaac Newton got last place, as that episode did pretty well view wise. I guess the Try Guys fans were coming through to help out with views on that one

  And again: thank you so much for doing this poll! I hope this was fun for everyone and see y’all in 8 weeks when Are You Scared? is over for the next one!

What’s your favorite episode of Puppet History? And your favorite PH song, if not from the same episode?

Fav song is easily the one about two oars being in love. What a bop.

Fav epsiode is America’s first female detective. I had no idea about any of this and it’s so wild! I loved it. Second fav would be 1904 Olympics cuz that one was wild from start to finish.
