#I DO NOT RECOMMEND

[hoteadepresso]

y’all i had a wild dream

not sure if I should put an actual tw for this, but if you’re iffy about like, different realities, shifting consciousness, out of body experiences and things of this nature, you might want to skip this <33

so

it was like, st5 was already out, and I was watching, and Byler was Bylering, and at one point the pov shifted

and I was Mike

and I don’t mean the kind of dream where you are you but just seeing things through another character’s perspective, I mean actually having consciousness of the character, no trace of me being me

and it was so vivid

I have had dreams like that in the past, where I was someone else, but this one takes the cake

and the pov was shifting back and forth, but every time it did i had no recollection of the other pov???? if that makes sense??? (idk man dreams are weird)

And in the dream I felt SO intensely, the love, the yearning, everything

and sensory wise it was also wild to me because at one point I (as Mike) took Will’s face in my hands, and I can still, despite the whole day passing, *feel* it on my hands

i remember exactly how his skin felt, the temperature, texture of dried blood (bc of course it couldn’t be a happy dream — he was just injured, not dying, but ya know), and like, the feeling I have is not like you can feel something if you imagine it hard enough, it feels like memory of the touch

and I was holding him, and I woke up, and when I tell you I felt PHYSICALLY ILL from being torn away from that

it was the most intense feeling as a dream aftermath I’ve ever experienced

I could still feel the touch on my hands, and I think my brain hasn’t fully woken up yet

and Rona pointed out that essentially i was channeling Mike being shifted to a world where Will Byers doesn’t exist, hence the pain when i told them about the dream and that makes sense

but man, it was both cool and scary

proof number 1838383 that Mike and I are actually the same person i guess lmao

It’s been a very tiring start of the year but I’m finally back to using all my free time drawing in the worst posture possible. I can’t believe the last time I did a layton playing card was 2022, I guess at this rate it’ll be done by 2030

I hate sleeping in other people's houses. It is not my room temp silence, the weight of my cats is not where it should be and floors crack so horribly it could wake up the dead (I am the dead)

For the assumptions thing

You can't really tolerate spicey food but like it anyway

HALF TRUE!!

I just can't tolerate spicey food </3

Storytime real quick but there was this time years ago where I ate a sausage (not the one you put in hotdogs) on a barbecue, but I didn't know that it was spicey one

Results: I had to drink milk and eat pure sugar because my tongue was burning......

Some time ago, I got tired of seeing the controversy if Mortimer's Handeemen puppets were "related" to each other. So I made a tweet question to see if Andrew Allen ever responds to it. Lord and Behold, he does! Long story short from Andrew, the Handeemen puppets are not related to each other. The long story is me picking through each detail Andrew can reveal without spoiling what might go down in the next game when we get it someday (cross fingers!). Before I begin, the question I tweeted is in the link below to read through it. SPOILERS to Hello Puppets: Midnight Show Also Below!!!

I started off by asking the question listed in the link with Andrew answering later that night in separate parts. Andrew clearly knows what is going on. He uses the biggest of the controversies that have been widely argued and questioned, Nick Nack's crush, quoted below in parts one and two.

Puppets cannot technically be biological siblings. What does “related” mean for beings that don’t reproduce, don’t have DNA, etc? I think the question behind the question here is: “are Nick’s feelings for Riley familial attraction?” I know some people don’t like that Riley and Nick see each other in a way that is like human siblings. So what he feels is wrong. The story in no way condones Nick’s feelings for her, they’re treated as inappropriate. But are the Handeemen a real family in any way? Or are they a cult?

Andrew states the puppets are not siblings, cannot "be biological siblings", and cannot reproduce in the game canon. In the original show, Owen wanted the Handeemen to feel like a stereotypical nuclear family, the parents, in this case, the father and mother, and the siblings, the sister and brother. Riley and Nick were supposed to be like the rival infighting siblings that tolerate each other occasionally. Unfortunately for Owen, not all the traits he imagined didn't transition through into the puppets. Mortimer Handee the best example of going from the perfect father figure to a toxic cult leader. In Nick's case, it's actually interesting that Andrew agrees what Nick is feeling is wrong and that what he's doing can get him in trouble with HR in the workplace in the modern world, but the story itself doesn't condone Nick. But still, you can get into trouble at work making a painting seen in the VHS tapes like Nick did with a coworker who views you like a sibling. Or in a case where a sibling thinking about another sibling that way has very extreme consequences that can lead to jail. With that, it leads to what I can describe from what Andrew might say in a Shakespeare tragedy "Family or cult? That is the question."

Mortimer wants them to think they’re a family. But the Handeemen are starting to question that. Daisy and Riley discover a friendship that is healthy. Nick, because he has a deep self-loathing, lashes out at Daisy and Riley in unhealthy ways. He has let Mortimer’s voice get in his head and tell him he’s worthless. If we get a chance to tell more of the story, I think a question I want to tackle is this: can these puppets become a REAL family, not just drones for an abusive tyrant? I have an idea the answer.

Andrew finishes off in parts three and four saying Mortimer wants to carry on the trait of that stereotypical family dynamic Owen envisioned. However, cracks were forming. Daisy and Riley slowly become best friends, but Nick is mentally suffering from Mortimer's abuse, just like Owen did from his father, that Nick takes it out on Daisy and Riley, the same way Owen did on his coworkers. So now it leads to Andrew's final question, "Can these puppets become a REAL family, not just drones for an abusive tyrant?" My answer is that Riley, Nick, Daisy, and the other puppets in the studio came close to realizing that this found family that imitates a nuclear family was toxic. Sadly, Mortimer, being the toxic cult leader he is, was way ahead of everyone to turn it into a big NO. Mortimer collected blackmail on everyone to outsmart them and keep his control for the moment. Unless it unravels in the next game.

Clearly, Andrew cannot reveal much information about spoiler reasons for the next game. Like I said in my last post, I believe the next game in the series will focus on what found family is and what makes one healthy or toxic. The Handeemen versus what I believe will be Vox Veritas. Mortimer tries to make every puppet have some family-like structure versus Vox Veritas being friends helping and supporting each other with some imperfections because THIS IS NOT GOING TO END WELL! We all know Anthony Pierson’s fate in the first game! The Hello Puppets series is a tragedy after all. At the end of the day, incestuous relationships in bloodlines and adoptions should not be normalized in society. If anyone who reads this sees something like this in real life, you got the right to report it, rat out the guilty, and help the victims. Which is sadly common in cults nowadays. In the game, what Mortimer has set up in his cult is also messed up. I won't be surprised if it all comes crumbling down on him down the road through Anthony, or a certain blue hair puppet with her Host throwing a wrench into everything. If you know people in the Hello Puppets fandom who were also scratching their heads, show them these tweets and this post to help clear the air FINALLY! Thank You and Goodnight!
