(FAN ART! Please do not repost!)

WAHHH! The update has me in shambles over here! I haven’t had time to draw something new, so I’m sharing this again but now you can actually see the puppeteers haha!

I’m so interested in the puppeteering aspect of this story, and I think it’s even more deep when you consider how many people are working these silly guys. For reference, I looked at images of Jim and the gang puppeteering Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. I love learning how this stuff works!

Anyway, the art itself isn’t a spoiler, but I’ll tag this as such just in case.

Happy Homewarming! 💌

Every year or so I listen to the Avenue Q soundtrack again and start spiraling down into a puppet hyperfixation, so I feed thee some gae puppets for today 🍽

Most of the Muppets are left-handed because most puppeteers are right-handed. They usually gesture with their left hands, but this is most obvious when playing instruments. (If you don't know, on guitar-like instruments you strum with your dominant hand.)

Kermit? Plays banjo left-handed.

The Electric Mayhem? Left-handed guitar and bass.

All the Muppets are lefties!

idk if anyone has done this yet but-

I recently rewatched aveune Q. And I'm falling back into WH.

Do you see where this is going

Yes a ave q x wh sue me. Note that any of the canon ships in ave q will not be canon here (such as Princeton x Kate, the two characters in there place won't be shipped) this AU shall be called 'Welcome to Avenue Home'

Anyway! Wally as Princeton. Idk what to say except yeah

julie as Kate monster!

They have similar personalities to me what can I say

Howdy as Gary. Uhm

I don't have a explanation

Sally as Christmas eve. Look I was running out of characters and ideas I'm sorry. But yeah ✨✨✨✨

Poppy as brian.

Why?

Cuz I can

Probably my least favorite mix, Barnaby as Trekkie monster. I RAN OUT OF CHARACTERS IM SORRYYYY

And finally my favorites

Frank and Eddie as Nicky and rod.

But unlike the original ave q, THESE TWO END UP TOGTHER

Anyway have some doodles

If you were gay, that'd be ok

Funfact, I first heard this song in a Frank x Eddie animatic. Out of curiosity I wanted to know who made it, and ofc it lead me to ave q

Favorite doodle, right here. I love franks expression

Everyone's a little bit ✨ racist ✨ sometimes.

Being honest here, this song took me off guard the first time I heard it. Like was not expecting that.

Please reblog! It helps!

I am sad that Back to the Rock decided to just give Mokey rod-hands full time

In the original puppet show, Mokey had two sets of hand that would be used depending on what was needed for a scene.

A set of rod-hands like the rest of the main Fraggle characters, and a set of live-hands (which are like a pair of gloves that a puppeteer wears to act as the character's hands).

Something easily facilitated by her large billowing robe. Though there's various Muppets who do a similar thing even with tight clothing such as Ernie.

Anyways the live-hands is how it was so easy to do scenes of Mokey doing stuff like painting, writing, throwing things, and other stuff in the original series.

If there's an object that either can't be easily attached to a rod-hand, or that needs to be immediately thrown, there's a pretty good chance Mokey is going to be the one to pick it up.

Such as the "hideous round thing" that she picks up and throws to distract Sprocket in episode 1 of the original series. It's too large and smooth to easily (and realistically) have a rod-handed puppet hold, but a live-handed puppet could pick it up and throw it quiet easily.

It could just be because rod-hands have advanced since the original series, and the hands now have greater pose ability than the kind in the 80s, so live-handed puppets have become redundant when not necessary.

Like Mokey doesn't play the piano or anything super intricate that requires extreme finger dexterity that couldn't just be added in post or something.

Though I do think Mokey's live-hands gave her an expressiveness and groundedness in her movements that the rod-handed puppets didn't have in the original series.

Live-hands are more fluid, dynamic and nimble compared to rod-hands just by default.

When she did something, like paint, or touch something, or even touch her friends, with her live-hands it was always more grounded and believable than when any of the characters with rod-hands did something similar.

Like when Mokey pulls out a poem and is holding it, she's literally holding it with real hands, but if Gobo pulls out a postcard from Uncle Matt that same episode it can look kind of funny, because it just doesn't look as realistic. Sometimes they didn't manage to get the fingers on his rod-hand to close all the way, so the letter is just awkwardly stuck to his hand.

Same with the other rod-hand Fraggles whenever they hold a piece of paper.

Human hand in a glove will always be more 'realistic' (believable) feeling in movement and action compared to a fake hand being controlled by a stick.

And I think that is something missing from the new version of Mokey.

Original Mokey was always an artistic dreamer who could sometimes feel like she had her head in the clouds, but also had these moments of being very grounded and insightful, and was very down to earth in general.

Mokey was the most physically affectionate of her friends in the original, and I feel like that was due to, at least in part, her being a live-hand puppet a lot of the time.

Like there are just scenes where she'll just be holding one of her friends hands while she guides them along, or she'll cradle their heads when she hugs them, and there's just an extra layer of depth that comes with it being done by live-hand puppetry.

There were actions that Mokey as a live-handed puppet could do that the rest of the main cast couldn't do due to her status as a live-handed puppet, and the old show took advantage of that, and I feel like that's where at least a bit of her characterization came from.

Because for a lot of those scenes weren't of Mokey doing something complicated that made live-hands neccessary, no, in a lot of them she's just talking with her friends and gesturing with her hands, or being physically affectionate, and what she's doing with her hands aren't even the focus of what's going on in the scene.

In the episode where Wembley is looking for his job, when Mokey is walking him up to the Gorg's garden to get radishes. She's holding hands with him as she leads him up there, but that's barely in frame at all.

To the point that their hands are bobbing in and out of frame as they walk, and it only lasts a few seconds.

The hand holding was completely unnecessary, it barely makes it into the scene at all, but it was still something the puppeteers decided to do, because Mokey holding her friends hand while leading them somewhere was a Mokey kind of thing to do.

And it's the tiny moments like that, that I think is missing from Mokey in Back to the Rock.

#Fraggle Rock #Mokey fraggle #live-handed puppets vs rod-hands #Mokey was changed on a technical puppetry level rather than just a visual level for Back to the Rock #if you guys didn't know that #anyways I think BTTB Mokey feeling different from OG Mokey is more than just her no longer being a flower child kind of character #a lot of what makes a character when it comes to puppets is style of puppetry and they changed the type of puppet Mokey is #so stuff like Mokey's body language especially with her hands and arms between the shows are going to be different #anyways if you thought something was off with Mokey's hands in Back to the Rock it's because they changed hand types for Mokey's character #it's not just her not wearing the robe anymore
