#THANK YOU MATT

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT COULD’VE ENDED…

[midnightexe]

In light of Matt (EmperorValentine) stepping down from EAPS and the appreciation event for him in the SBS Discord server, I wanted to make something really quickly to just,,, show my thanks.

Ramble under the cut.

I didn’t get much of the early-written content of Puppet, Foxy, or others, just because my main focus was on TSAMS, LAES, and—well, EAPS. I didn’t really branch out into the others, but as I went back recently to rewatch old silly videos, I got more content of them both— early and new.

Puppet didn’t really interest me at first when they were brought in with Lunar’s revival. I didn’t spark interest in them because that’s ALL I really saw them do—and even then I only knew they were a character at all because of dialogue—, but as I saw them more and more—on the MAPP, in clip compilations, edits, art, specific episodes, etc, my interest grew. They clicked with me.

I love Puppet. I love their writing, their dialogue, their interactions and dynamics, their just- their characters means a lot to me in ways I can’t describe. Matt did an amazing job with all of his characters, even ones I only really have had glimpses of, and I feel like people should talk a bit more about the voice actors themselves. I love the duality of hurt and healing I feel when I think about their character. What they’ve done, what they’ve wanted to do, how they’ve influenced people both good and bad. They’ve been an amazing character and, although I am sad to see Matt’s Puppet leave, I’m also excited to see what comes next.

So yeah, in short; Thank you, Matt. From the bottom of my heart, for all you’ve done in this community.

I’m really happy for him and wish him the very best with his new projects/focuses, I just wanted to jump on the bandwagon of a good send-off.

(This is not my best piece, it was done in the span of an hour. I would’ve done more but I’ve had NO time lately </3 )

MY SKETCH FOR THE MATT APPRECIATION SOTW

[annabelle0009]

Thank you Matt!

All the lore, games made me always happy after a long day at school. I was always excited to go and see some new videos. I was never expecting to get attached to a character that even became my mother figure overtime. It's sad to think you're stepping away. But I'm still happy you took a best choice for yourself to feel better.

I wish you everything well and best in life Matt. We'll miss you!

My theory on what's gonna happen in EAPS

So Matt, the voice of many characters in eaaps, most importantly Puppet, the cohost, is going to leave the show, stepping down from their voice rolls on February 1st. And while I wholeheartedly support his decisions, I know it will impact the show I've grown to love very much and I am ready for the change

Now onto my theory

My main theory is that Eclipse and Puppet will realize there really is no way to defeat the Puppet Master other than to delete Puppet's home dimension. They go through it and Eclipse brings them back the same way he revived Solar, by changing their dimensional signature. This comes with alot more complications and stuff. Some more complications come up when fixing up up Foxy and he gets a new voice box, same most other characters voiced by Matt, there are many voice box changes due to excessive damage and it not being able to be saved, notably to Moonlights since he's one of the more important characters. This also means something would happen to the other characters voiced by Matt like Lefty and the stitchletes and so on.

If puppet and foxy fully leave the show, or at least just the pizza plex since they’ll both occasionally pop in for games and reactions, they’ll likely move out or not leave their room a long they try to gather Foxys memories and Puppet getting used to existing while not having any magic and not being a Guardian

Now for my feelings on other things

I don't really want the channel to become the Eclipse and Ballora/Ballora and Eclipse show as many people have been theorizing. It's not like I wouldn't watch it, I still would, I love their dynamic, but I feel like with how her character is, it wouldn't be the same. She has had some really good growth and I love her character, but I genuinely feel like I'd prefer it as just the Eclipse show. I think it'd mirror the Sun and Moon show since he’s like a combo of both. But it would put a lot of strain on Davis since he’s a va and one of the main writers, and it wouldn’t be fair to the other vas like Flora(Balloras va). on a lot of the other channels so I’d understand why this doesn’t happen and it does go to ballora or to someone new entirely

Either way I’m excited to see where the show will go, and I’ll also understand it it takes a break for a while in order to get everything settled

Thank you for everything Matt <333
