{PUPPETOLOGY}
If you're familiar with my work, you may have seen posts floating aroung tagged under "#puppetology". Allow me to explain that a little further.The world of puppets is wide and weird; they've existed since the days of even shadowplay. Since the introduction of the Muppet species in the 50s by famous findansweven Jim Henson, the interest in puppets has gained notable traction, and the worlds they've created have generated countless sparks for other worlds to build from.Many findanswevens usually engage with these worlds in order to build more worlds and there's nothing wrong with that, but there is a narrative biology to characters that has been widely disregarded in recent years. Not that this is creatively a bad choice, it just seems to muddle the true intention of the puppet species. This also narratively locks characters from engaging with other worlds without symptoms of PDS (Portrayal Difficulty Syndrome).So, that's what puppetology is going to be; the streamlining of what really makes their narratives click and how they connect so vividly with the world around them.We discuss aspects such as behavioral quirks, functionality biology, as well as the recent developments in recent samples. All this and more will be documented on social media, with an entire book being compiled on Wattpad that you can keep an eye out for. For now, all my puppetology research can be found on my Tumblr page under that tag.

{RUBBEROLOGY}
Much like puppets, rubberhose cartoons have also taken a renewed public interest over the years, especially with the recent public domain releases of "Steamboat Willy" and "Popeye the Sailor". It really is wonderful, because there's so much creativity and vibrancy to the medium, both in natural rubber like Silly Symphonies and in synthetic rubber like the Merry Melodies.However, again with the cultural interest in twists and applying modernity, there is also concern that there will be a misunderstanding between rubberhose and modern society. In recent examples, it has proven that disregarding their nature while applying these twists can lead to morbid results, such as in the reapplication of rubberhose physics to Bugs Bunny in "Looney Tunes Cartoon".Rubberhose research, while not as compiled as my puppetology, is still a huge subject of interest for me. Although the topic might not be as broad as I initially thought (keyword: "might"), so for that, I would keep an eye out for posts on social media.

One letter. Change the control.
{NOTES:} Due to an unknown anomaly in his portrayal, this character refuses to be seen or even referred to directly. Although, for the sake of addressment online, he has taken on his first initial "J" as a nickname. He has a habit of being quite self-referential, referring to individuals he connects with as "Soul Setters" and rambling about whatever.

{OCCUPATIONS:} Musician/Explorer/Hippie
{INTERESTS:} Music/Cryptids/Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem{TYPE:} Muppet
{AWARENESS:} High
{PERSONALITY:} Loveable Wildcard
{FUNCTIONALITY:} Eyeless Rodhand with Mouthplate Anomaly
{PORTRAYAL:} Unknown{NOTES:} Due to a dangerously high awareness, as well as significant evidence of major play-along, Jim is extremely jaded towards people, with the only human he loves being me, his Findansweven. He loves me like a brother, despite his mouthplate anomaly. However, he will always put up a smiling face for people and will call people "soul setter" as a way to say "you can trust me". He has a twin brother named Jon and he sings with a guitar named Rosie.... Sweet, sweet angel with your devilish sin.
Entice me plenty while cursin' my kin.
Your smile glows brightly while your heart fades to dark.
Come snatch up my soul like a hungry lil' lark.

{ACCESS POINT:} Chef Saltbaker
{SPARK COLLECTION UNIT:} Bowlcut{NOTES:} It's been a while since I've had a unit for exploration, and naturally I had to send him after the biggest creative target in Inkwell Isle. I couldn't resist, frankly: his personality, his design, and his overall presentation are very well-crafted. For this, he has turned out to be an excellent source of sparks and overall exploration.{EXPLORATION LOG:} Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course (SugarBowl Edition)

>Ey Jonny.>What now?>I's been thinkin'->Abnormal, I should take you to Shrink.>No brother, I'm bein' serious.>... Serious enough to drop the voice?>Yeah, serious enough for that. Listen, I'm thinkin' about expanding our name. I think YouTube would love us-.>Okay, you won't even show your face and you want to do YouTube, a platform where face is kind of important? Yeah, no you need to see Shrink.>I just want to know what we're doing wrong.>Didn't you hear what I said, James? People don't like mystery anymore. They need to see us for who we actually are.>... What if-?>I don't care, and honestly neither should you. There are actual ripoffs out there that aren't even TRYING to hide it, and look at all the love they get! They might get words thrown at them, but who honestly cares about words anymore?>That's what this whole project's supposed to be about, Jon! Don't you get it?! The entire point of this project is to get people to care about reading, to care about who we are as characters first. I don't want people distracted by our faces, just to throw us to the curb when a new face comes along! Jonathan, I don't want to be him, I want people to listen!>People don't want to listen, Jim. All they want is background music. That is the whole point of our creation, to connect. The sooner you accept that, the better off as a character you'll be.>... How in the hell. Do you expect me. To turn that off now? Riddle me that, Jon.>Try. Please, can you try?>Jonathan Nopetti.

You will condemn the both of us. If the Council finds us... I will hurt everybody.
