can we as a society make puppetry cool again. like lets make it trendy. Mainstream. more people should get into doing it and more people should appreciate it. puppetry requires craftsmanship and charisma and physical acting and vocal performance!! you can’t get that from ai. it has a charm to it that neither 2D nor cg animation has. Have you ever watched a puppetry performance and realized you were genuinely convinced that the puppet was getting into bed or eating something or giving a hug that you wholly forgot there was some guy’s arm in there.
isn’t it lovely. to make a funny little guy to tell stories with. is that not so human of us. it’s such a lovely art form. I love you puppets I love you muppets I love you marionettes I love you handmade sock puppets I love you paper bags with googley eyes I love you armatures I love you I love you I love you!!!!!
I posted this as a response to another puppetry post on my other blog, but wanted to post it here too:
Be the puppetry you want to see in the world! There’s so much puppetry work out there for you to discover. If we want people to bring puppetry into the forefront we gotta support the art that’s already out there!
Stop motion puppetry is getting a massive resurgence right now by filmmakers and directors, and live puppetry is likely in a city near you! Check out your local guild:
Check out a Puppet Slam, unique puppetry made primarily for adult audiences:
If you ever feel yourself thinking “I wish this artform was more popular” don’t despair, it’s out there and you can support the artists making it, and you can MAKE IT YOURSELF!
GO FORTH! BE THE PUPPETRY YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD!
IN ADDITION!
If you want to dive into puppetry and study it YOU CAN!
There’s so much more to puppetry than muppets! Dive in!
Hey! I initially posted this a year ago and now I’m interning at a puppet theater!
I’m only just barely dipping my toes into the world of marionette puppetry but I’m blown away by the artistry of not only the craftsmanship, but the things that they come up with to be puppets. Puppeteers are such creative people and I’d recommend looking into the craft if you’re interested!

Historical context is of course very useful for important things like Politics and Science and everything, but will also open your eyes to things like, uh… the way the clothing/textile/crafting industries try to use the word “natural” as an excuse to sell shoddy and bad quality goods and make you think that’s normal.
God knows there are worse things going on in the world, but it really pisses me off when I see companies advertising “Real Shell/Pearl buttons!” like that’s supposed to be some upscale selling point, and the buttons in question are the thinnest, roughest, most crudely-made buttons in existence… 🙄😒 “But they’re made from Natural Materials! You can’t expect Natural Materials to look refined and consistent like synthetic ones!” They are lying to you. THEY ARE LYING TO YOU! And I know this because I’ve seen “real shell buttons” from 100 or even 50 years ago. And most of them are sturdy and smoothly polished, of a consistent thickness, and sometimes even finely carved. The buttons on nice men’s dress shirts? Those are the cheap, plastic IMITATIONS of what people expected actual mother-of-pearl buttons to look like! “Natural” isn’t an excuse! Your product is cheap and badly and lazily made! And I’m so sick of this, because I see it EVERYWHERE. “Linen-look” has become shorthand for “coarsely woven fabric with visible slubs” and that drives me CRAZY because do you KNOW what kinds of linen I have seen??? Antique linen so light and fine and smooth you can’t even SEE the weave unless you magnify it!!! A fragment of a linen damask tablecloth so smooth and glossy, it looks like SILK? 😭 (On that note, “dupioni silk” is so roughly woven that it would have been considered hardly fit to sell a century ago) “This fabric is woven of Natural Materials, so imperfections will be inevitable!” 🙃 No! 😀 You just made it cheaply and sloppily, and that was your choice! 😊

My vibe about ships since forever tbh
in response to the Frankly Too Many Asks i ignore about this: pRobLeMaTiC sHiPs are a fake problem and you’re silly for caring about them, and i’m objectively right to say this, and this is the end of the conversation forever
hahahahaha i just got my first anonymous death threat over this. y'all are not okay.

It’s genuinely so funny the way sebastian stan’s career has shaped up is that he spends 6 months a year doing heart rending indies and then puts on a cap and goes well that’s enough fancy schmancy oscar bait for me back to my bread and butter of honest labour (12th year straight in the marvel queerbait mines)
