HAPPY PRIDE MONTH BABY WOOOO

Hey uh it's been a bit but it's June so Pride PFP time and this year I decided to go with Kaizo and I think he looks neat. This was also my first time testing out Procreate's gradient maps and I am very satisfied with the results.

cuunos

hey can everyone do me a favor and put in the tags why they chose their name? even if you don't go by a chosen name irl, you can put why you chose your online name.

#genuinely i cannot remember what other names i had in mind #but i chose gabe and gabriel because it sounded similar to my birth name and nickname #however i didnt realize that it was the name of an angel so now christians think im one of them because of it #fair assumption because i never looked into name origins when picking i just did what i thought was cool but still annoying #as for blam its just the name of a character from one night at flumptys that i thought was cool #the in8r part was just me trying to make it cooler than just blam since its very short #but usually when randos try to talk to me online i get called blamin which sounds weird so i always try to specify to call me blam #so yeah if you dont know me irl just call me blam

felixisfruity

it is your duty to make that character suicidal

felixisfruity

give them unhealthy habits while youre at it. questionable coping mechanisms if you will

felixisfruity

YEAH. you are so right excellent addition

It's so weird talking to people who's view of "here's the way life is for everyone" is shattered as soon as they talk to someone with disabilities (physical, mental illness, any). Like you'll say you'll have a problem and instead of helping you they'll argue with you about how you're not actually facing that problem. Like,

Me: Hey, I'm really struggling to find a job and a part of it is my resume. I was depressed & psychotic during highschool so I didn't do anything to gain skills or achievements to put on my resume. I also don't have anyone to put as a reference. What can I do?

Them: You can add your skills, hobbies, clubs you're in, and different volunteer work you've done! You can also get your teacher as a reference.

Me: I already know what to put on a resume, my issue is that I don't have things that I can use. Also, I'm in my mid 20s so I don't know if I can put my highschool teacher as a reference.

Them: Well if you're a part of a church or an activity group, you could add that. Also, think of any projects you've worked on in the past.

Me: I already know you can put these things on a resume. I'm not looking for suggests of things I've already done, I'm looking for what I can do now if I haven't done anything.

Them: There's no way you didn't do anything during highschool?? What about some odd jobs you definitely did for extra money, like babysitting or mowing the lawn?

Me: I spent all of highschool either in modified classes or in bed doing nothing - not even hobbies, what about that do you not understand?

And then you talk to someone who's also disabled and they're like "Here's a bunch of jobs you can do from home that don't pay much but look good on a resume, here's some free online courses that also look good on a resume, here's how you can be making small amounts of money in the meantime, here's some things you can put besides a professional reference, and here are your rights if your future employer tries to take advantage of your disability - which you probably shouldn't tell them about unless you need accommodations."

And suddenly my will to continue trying returns!

c...can we maybe get some of those ideas in full? Pls?

Two other people asked as well so okay! Though this post will be rather long.

Freelance Jobs You Do From Home That Look Cool On A Future Resume

Please research any company before sign up with then. So many companies are scams and pay you way less than you deserve for your work. Go to r/freelancers and search to make sure nobody has had some horrid experiences. There's also usually reviews of a company on YouTube as well.

Transcribing - adding subtitles to videos for deaf and other hard of hearing people. You usually read a big instruction manual, do two or three tests to see how well you can follow the instruction manual, and then get an e-mail if you can work with them or not. Depending on where you sign up, you can also fill out which topics you're knowledable on and less likely to make mistakes on when transcribing.

Translating - same as transcribing, but now you're translating one language into another. I have not done this before, so I'd suggest talking to people who have.

Article Writing - there are different websites you can sign up to work for where someone sends in a request for an article about a certain topic, you can write that article, and if they like it they can purchase it from you. Some websites have a ranking system where the more good reviews your article gets, the more money you'll get paid.

Article Editing - you can also get payed to fix typos and reorganize an article (or list) if writing isn't your thing.

Top 10 Lists - There are different sites that will pay you to write 10 ten lists. They usually require a specific amount of words and have an author's guide on their site.

Graphic Designer - if you go to different generic freelance websites, you can often find people who are searching for someone to design logos for their company or banners for their websites. It helps if you have a portfolio as well.

Virtual Assistent - scheduling appointments, answering calls, and managing email accounts from your own home. I haven't done this one so again, do more research.

Small Amounts Of Money

Qmee - I've been using this app for awhile called qmee where you do surveys for money. Surveys usually pay anywhere in between 30 cents and 2 dollars, and they have a feature where if the survey asks you anything sketchy then you can report them. You can also cash out whenever, like you don't have to build up a certain amount. (If you aren't American, you may only get a couple surveys per day.) An extra 20 dollars a month isn't much but it's nice.

Fiverr - A website where you state your talents and you can take on other people's smaller projects for small amounts of money. A funny example is this YouTube skit where someone paid some people on fiverr to come up with a break-up letter. I believe you can also keep a portfolio for any projects you make during your freelance jobs on fiverr too.

Redbubble - this is where you can put different designs onto different types of clothing, notebooks, mugs, hats, etc. It helps if you have a design that's from a fandom, references a meme, or fufills a niche. You can also go to TeeSpring if you want to put multiple designs on one item, but you'd have to promote your items yourself as TeeSpring has this issue where you can't search for new stores who aren't already popular.

Test Products - once again, please research any company you're going to do this for. There are companies that will send you products for a week or two and ask for a report on how well it works, what you like/dislike, etc.

If You Don't Have Anyone To Put On Your Resume As References

Volunteer Somewhere - animal shelters, tutoring, soup kitchens, summer programs, public libraries, etc. If you're able to volunteer somewhere, you can ask the people there if you can use them as a reference.

Volunteer Online - you can also do online volunteer work if you're unable to do physical volunteer work. Here's a list of examples of online volunteer work which includes things like creating a large amount of thank-you cards, transcribing books into digital form, or answer texts or calls on a crisis line. This may be a better option due to covid.

Add Personal References - friends and family members do work (just don't list them as professional references). It's especially helpful if you've done a project for/with them as well.

Or don't add references at all - references look good on a resume, but unless you're writing a federal resume you kind of don't need them? If someone is interested in hiring you, they may ask if you have any references. You can just say "no, this is my first job" (if it is). They might ask why you haven't worked before, but you can just say that it's personal or private information. Or you can give a vague answer like dealing with family matters.

Once you have some, this is how you would format your references.

None of these are long term solutions and not everything will work out for everybody. These are just helpful suggestions I've received over the years!

becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys

May I add Zooniverse for participating in citizen science projects? It gives you a Research Background, plus you can talk about admin/data entry etc

There's also a whole bunch of YouTube tutorials for learning Excel. And, if you've a mind to learn it, there's a mapping software called QGIS that's free to download, and the internet is full of tutorials. If you can learn it, it is an EXTREMELY sought-after skill in a lot of fields.

want to help? you can!

Thank you to everyone who has been sending such kind messages, I promise I really do read them all, even if I can't reply, but while these messages are wonderful (and really. I mean it. just the nicest and most heartfelt things I've ever seen) the sad fact is they don't change my situation. But you can change it. You can help me.

If you know my situation, if you want to help me, please write to Glitch Productions. They are the only people who can, and I believe, might, be able and willing to save me. SMG4 has ignored me, even through a legal letter. I have no hope that they will do otherwise, but Glitch are a different case and I think they just genuinely don't know I exist. I have sent them a message, to no reply, but more messages means more of a chance they will notice. IF you are on twitter please message that way, I closed my account there years ago, and please be polite: I am not asking for hate, even if I've received it.

Even a short message will help. I need numbers, I need voices. My own voice is being drowned out, but you can speak for me as well.

For some points on the plagiarism under the read more (what I collected/organized while building up an email to send):

1) TIMELINE RGB was created long before, over a decade before Mr. Puzzles first debuted. (*RGB's first appearance may have been 2011, was a little iffy on that)

2) UNDENIABLY UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE The number of traits, some uniquely specific to and representative of RGB's design, that are copied in Mr. Puzzles design are too many to be chalked up to 'just a coincidence'

Especially when you look at the designs of all of the other TV head characters out there - I collected as many as I could find (though I'm sure there's more) and none of them come even close to sharing the number of similarities that these two do.

3) TV MODEL AND DESIGN CHOICES While looking up references for older TVs, I found that for the exact TV they're based on (small retro box TV with knobs in the upper right of the TV and an antenna) most of the references didn't have a vent on the side of them like RGB and Mr. Puzzles do.

I looked up 4 different reference terms, and still had to scroll a while before I found one that matched exactly (above collection just a general sample/example of types of TVs I found). Unless my browsers are wigging out, either the pictures that would come up for these kinds of TVs were different in 2023, or this exact combination of features are just not very common for this style of TV. If that's the case, it may be a bit strange to design a character with those features together.

Here's where that distinction is important: Mr. Puzzles as a character doesn't have much of a reason to go with this design over other styles of similar TVs. But RGB does. The vents on the sides of RGB's head aren't just an aesthetic choice - they're included as a legitimately integral part of the story-line (Negative RGB). The same can be said for a number of other choices Modmad has made, down to individual items of clothing, that show just how much thought and intention and consideration went into every aspect of RGB's design.

Which makes it that much more frustrating to see him get plagiarized in such a careless manner by people who don't even seem to put much care into their own character (common criticism I've read that SMG4 fans have had about Mr. Puzzles and his 'arc').

4) OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE WHO HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SITUATION FROM MOD, NOTICED This has been noted by fans of both series since Mr. Puzzles first came out.

Some people may have found more points than this, but these are what I stumbled upon. Hopefully helps bring a little more context to the situation.

modmad

reblogging this version because. yeah.

yeah.

modmad

just to update that nobody from any of the relevant parties has got back to me or made any statement. please reblog this version, as @timmyreads has compiled an extremely comprehensive explanation and evidence of the theft; at first I just wanted to be left alone, but it's really not enough. every time I see Mr Puzzle or even read his name I feel physically sick, it's hard for me to type it even now. I feel violated in every way, and I need help. I can't save myself, I have tried every single avenue available. At this point I need to be saved.

For those saying please/just keep making TPoH anyway, it's not that simple: I can't. My mind and heart are broken. The story itself has stopped communicating with me. I cannot make it any more, not if this situation doesn't change, and that loss of the story scares me more than anything else in the world.

BTW YouTube took down this video because I breached the self harm policy, but when I read it over it didn't seem like I did. I tried appealing the decision but their AI or whatever dumb fucking machinery they use to scan the videos instead of having an actual human person look it over just sent me a response saying "um no you're actually wrong can't reupload this lol" so yeah I can't post this on any of my socials now because it broke on Instagram and Tumblr.

I got some information wrong and spread the wrong thing around so I'm gonna say it here

One of my friends corrected me for something i said in my rage post about the Calling All Villains show from Zamination, I mentioned something relating to "the brothers" having harassed a teenager for his minecraft animations to the point of hospitalization. While I wasn't wrong on WHAT happened, I was wrong on WHO did it. I had the Belanger brothers (Enchanted Mob) and the Preciado brothers (Zamination) mixed up. I wasnt aware that they were two different pairs of brothers, I thought that Enchanted Mob/Mob Entertainment was just rebranded into Zamination by the exact same people. The Belangers were the ones who harassed the teenager I mentioned, Zamination is completely.

I still don't like Zamination but it's based solely on personal preferences and me just not liking the animation style they have, not due to morality. And I still don't like that Puzzles gets a show and not literally any other SMG4 character that had got left behind in favor of Puzzles. He and WPNZ hogged the spotlight for way too long and they got their finale, let them stay dead since their sacrifice basically means nothing if they're still alive.

I'm not gonna be taking down my old post because I don't wanna cover up my mistakes, but I'm probably gonna edit it to at least say that I had some of my initial information wrong.

#im sorry zamination i got you and enchanted mob mixed up #still salty about the show thing though but theyre not doing anything wrong #anyway fuck mob entertainment because those guys ARE assholes #mr puzzles #calling all villains #zamination #blamblings #blamin8r

Which shows from GLITCH have you seen, and how would you rank them and why?

I've seen every Glitch show, since I've been a fan of SMG4 for 11 years, so I've known of Glitch's existence since Luke and Kevin first announced it. In order of favorite to least favorite (with shows that at least have pilots out) and why it would be:

Meta Runner: i love futuristic sci–fi, and with it being centered around video games as well? Sign me tf up. Also because it has Masa and I fucking love Masa. Besides, it being the first show Glitch every made and is the reason for its inception in the first place, it holds a special place in my heart for that alone. Plus, it actually has 3 seasons, and I love a lot of things from it. The season 2 redesigns made it look INCREDIBLE omfg Tari is so pretty in seasons 2-3 and I love it. My only real critique with it (since it was made by a brand new studio at the time) is that I honestly think we could have had more story in between seasons 1 and 2. It probably could have been extended by another season. Plus, Kevin mentioned that they had some ideas for a possible prequel at TAS-CORP or a sequel 5 years later and I really would have liked that. Probably in the form of comics though because Celeste got replaced and Robyn quit.

The Amazing Digital Circus: I definitely like the psychological Torment the cast goes through, ultimately i really like every character we've gotten to know, Jax just happens to be my favorite. The comedy is great, and the emotional moments feel pretty real. Rewatching the episodes is always fun, and usually gets me pretty excited. There's just so much to analyze and have fun with for this show.

Knights of Guinevere: There's not much for me to judge here yet, but I think I'm definitely biased more towards this show because it's 2D and not 3D. I don't mind 3D animation, and when done well it's absolutely fantastic, but I've always had a preference for 2D animation because of how much work goes into it, and because it's easier for me to replicate as an artist with a stylized cartoony art style. For the show itself, I mean I loved The Owl House, and the story seems interesting so far, so I'm excited to see what we get next. Plus, a main character that has hallucinations that AREN'T plot related and is just a part of why she is? Hell yeah love that for her.

Sunset Paradise: Even though I haven't rewatched Sunset Paradise since it came out like 5 years ago, I did still enjoy it because it was nice to see Meggy in a new style, and I liked some of the other characters we saw. Okay, I mainly just like Meggy and Whisk together. It's fun, it's simple, and I think it could be expanded on for another season or 2, especially since now we don't have to worry about SMG4 Meggy being gone for a few months since that show ended. I thought the ending was kinda cheap though but I still thought it was pretty solid.

Murder Drones: While I love the animation style (I mean really it's absolutely incredible), I got really confused by the actual story, and that hindered my ability to enjoy it. Also, I'm not a Nuzi fan. Like, I like N, but I also just don't like Uzi. She gives me a lot of second hand embarrassment, and I'm saying this as someone who used to be a cringy edgelord girl in middle school (yes I know she's 19 but she acts like a middle schooler sometimes). And I get it, that's part of her character, but I still don't enjoy her that much.

The Gaslight District: The story seems interesting, but the pilot felt REALLY rushed. Like, it could have easily been split into 4 episodes for each of the acts and that would have been a much more tolerable watch. But my main gripe with the show is the artistic style of it. It's not bad at all, but it's REALLY not my thing. Also I don't like Mel. The trope of "overprotective father who actually really cares for his rebellious 'teenage' daughter who wants to prove to him that she's strong and can handle herself" is something I've seen a lot of so unless they do something unique with it then I really don't care that much. I like that they have a cockney character though (Mud), but I don't actually like the character himself. I'm still gonna watch the episodes as they come out to support the show, but it's not something I actively look forward to.

Not surprised about the Belangers, considering they've done some shady stuff with Poppy Playtime. As for the Preciados, I've never heard about them copying a gameplay concept for PP, and considering it's allegedly, I'm choosing to believe otherwise until there's actual proof. Anyway, Zamination has broken free of Mob and is done with content farms, and I personally think their new stuff since then has been good (imo, anyway) so I have hope that their Puzzles series will actually be decent. (I can understand and respect if you don't like it. I like Puzzles and WPNZ, but I do wish they let other characters have the spotlight too.)

I've heard that one reason 1 & 2 don't get any screen time is because 2's VA (who also voiced Theo in Meta Runner) quit GLITCH after the whole Celeste (Former Tari VA) controversy. (I know what you're thinking, that makes no sense, and I agree, but it's the only one I heard.)

I had seen the screenshots myself for the og concepts of the game, and it looks very similar to the grabpack, which is why I choose to believe that. Besides, I'm sick of the mediocre writing from Poppy Playtime, and I've always found their minecraft animations to be way too overanimated. Them joining the SMG4 writing team is one of the reasons I hate them as well, because they had the same issue of not having looked at much previous SMG4 content as well, so there were many continuity errors as well. Zamination has given me absolutely no reasons to respect them or what they create, this Puzzles show included.

And yes, I know of the situation with Celeste. I fully respect and understand Robyn's choice to quit after Celeste was unknowingly replaced. But then again, that's still a choice that the SMG4 team made, and then they suffered the consequences of their actions, and then we as the fans did as well with losing two important lore relevant characters.

RE: smg4 Mr Puzzles

TL:DR I do not want to cancel the show, I don't want it to cancel me.

So I have been forced, basically, to make this statement as I am being asked about this character or 'introduced' to it (and the incoming new show) against my desires. I have deleted all previous posts about my encounters with this problem long ago for personal reasons that will be apparent, but people don't know about my situation and do deserve an explanation. I will keep this post short for my own mental health. This is the first time I have disclosed any of this information to the public, and it is hopefully the last. My silence has been a part of my uncomfortable situation, but it's clear the world won't let me try to just ignore it any longer, so it's full disclosure time.

1, Yes. I know about Mr Puzzles and his uncanny resemblance to RGB, my character from the on going comic The Property of Hate, who pre-exists Mr Puzzles by approximately ten years.

I did not, as a consequence, base RGB off Mr Puzzles...

2, I have received very violent and manipulative hate mail from fans of that character over the past few years due to this similarity, many threatening to slander me via cancel culture to discredit my own creations. The worst of these messages almost caused me to commit suicide which close friends can attest to (this period coincided with the death of my father which they used against me to full effect).

Since then the hatemail has been less frequent, but continues, and I am afraid it will pick up again with the advent of this new show.

3, I have contacted the smg4 management about these issues, to no avail. My first email was a request to tell their followers to cease sending me hatemail, which they did not attempt in any way. They have never responded to the large overlaps in terms of RGB's design, and when I finally sent them an email via a lawyer as a last resort (which cost me £4000) they did not respond. Please note that I did not ask for a cease and desist, I only wanted the hatemail to stop, and perhaps for them to alter Mr Puzzle's design very slightly to be a little less like RGB's. I even made this simple suggestion as an example:

Despite going out of my way (against the lawyer's wishes) to phrase the letter in a none-hostile manner, and offer them an alternative, they did not reply to this email at all.

I am a disabled indie cartoonist; I do not have the money to take further legal action, and in any case I do not want to. I hate conflict, and the emotional toll of sending that email alone was enough to make me miserable and exhausted for months. All I want is to be left alone, and for people to know that RGB was invented first. I cannot afford to do anything to protect myself or make anyone listen legally; this post is the most I can do, and it is the only post I intend to make about it.

that's it. that's the whole situation. please do not message me about the show, or the character, as both are very distressing to me: if you do I will either delete the message, or block you, depending on the angle. I have blocked all related tags, and I will unfollow if I see posts, so I am doing everything I can to take care of myself in a non-aggressive fashion. I have only made this statement so that people understand.

a small example of some of the hatemail (which was preserved only to be sent to the makers as evidence which, again, they did not respond to) below the readmore. read at your own discretion, it is unpleasant.

thank you for taking the time to read this.

#and people wonder why i hate mr puzzles so much rn #this is just fucking horrible #just wanted to share this so my fellow smg4 fans are aware #signal boost #smg4 #mr puzzles #smg4 mr puzzles #RGB #tpoh rgb #tw suicide mention

So the new Puzzles show was revealed this morning. It's called Calling All Villains and is set years after the events of SMG4, and it's designed so that beginners can jump right in without having to watch the latter series. (Though there are fun nods and juicy easter eggs for those who have)

Apparently, Luke was the one to contact Zam about a new series centered around Mr. Puzzles, as he always felt there was more that could be done with the character.

SMG4 became such a Puzzles centered show from 2024-2025 and had left the rest of the SMG4 crew in the dust, and this is partly due to the new writers that had been hired had not previously looked at older SMG4 videos, and I'm not just talking about the beginnings of SMG4, I mean even the huge story arcs that came before. Puzzles and WPNZ already had their big send-off in WOTFI 2025, their story was WRITTEN to have ended with their sacrifice, they do not need any more story. Characters like Saiko and Kaizo, Tari, Melony, Bob, Swag and Chris, FM and X, SMG1 and SMG2, all deserved more screentime and focus but were practically forgotten about. Anyone who was fans of characters OUTSIDE of Puzzles and WPNZ is completely tired of how focused the series became on them, because it lasted for so much longer than just their arcs.

And also, if Luke wanted to do more with Mr. Puzzles' character, he was completely in control of that. HE could have written more, or tried to make a more consistent story. Puzzles should be finished.

Wait, could you explain the whole zamination bullying thing again? Are we sure this wasn't from Mob Entertainment, their former partner/owner?

I thought it was the same brothers, but I was wrong. The brothers I was thinking of for EnchantedMob and Zamination are different, but regardless, both pairs of brothers have done the fucked up things I mentioned in my post. The Belangers bullied and harassed a teenage boy for his minecraft animations on another YouTube channel titled AnimationSins (they "made fun" of their own animations too but not nearly as harshly), and after teaming up with the Preciados, Zamination (allegedly) copied the same teenager's video game concept that eventually became Poppy Playtime with the grab pack thingy.

Get your greedy fucking hands off of SMG4

Woke up to my day already ruined.

Like, are we forgetting that Zamination and their fans bullied a teenager for his minecraft animations to the point that he admitted himself to a psych ward, copied someone else's concepts for their horror game which is why Poppy Playtime even exists, and that they're also shit writers who one of the brothers did not even look at anything SMG4 related before working on the show? They (the brothers) fucking suck as people and don't deserve the time of day at all.

Holy shit I am so fucking mad. I already knew that Zam worked as additional writers for SMG4 and Glitch but I'm still fucking infuriated that they're trying to bring back the two characters who singlehandedly ruined what good we had left of SMG4 just for their own fucking spinoff they do not deserve.

Puzzles and WPNZ were completely butchered in terms of their writing.

Puzzles was meant to be a genuinely intriguing and mysterious villain who will do anything just for a good show. He was at his best when we DIDN'T know anything about him, but no the writers chose to go with the fucking Tumblr Sexyman persona instead and remove all interesting aspects from him. Like, people forget that he also does not deserve any sympathy from the SMG4 crew. He's kidnapped them, forced them to act for his shows for WEEKS against their will, tried to murder them multiple times, and also turned Meggy into a less sentient version of herself to keep as a fucking PET. She also SOUNDED like a fucking baby and that was incredibly disturbing. Because yeah sure let's remove all autonomy from a female character so the male character can objectify her, then give her Stockholm syndrome (not a real thing btw) afterwards because he TOTALLY deserves all the sympathy after that.

WPNZ was an incredibly good assassin who kidnapped his own children who he hadn't even met before and tried to turn them into assassins like him because they inherited his weaponry, and when that didn't work because THEY'RE FUCKING CHILDREN he gets mad and tries to MURDER THEM AND THEIR MOTHER, to which he lost the fight to. BUT THEN you take this very obviously murderous man and immediately make him regret this?? Like, if you're gonna make someone who went THIS FAR regret trying to murder his children, IT SHOULD TAKE MANY YEARS BEFORE HE GETS TO THAT POINT. Because his mindset is still that of an assassin: people are nothing but pricetags, and if you have no value, you're worthless. But then you also make him super fatherly to this stupid pink blob that is literally nothing but a convenient plot device? JUST WEEKS AFTER HE TRIED TO KILL HIS OWN CHILDREN?? NO. You don't GET to be a father figure after that, because you had your chance and you quite literally blew it up MULTIPLE TIMES.

And don't get me wrong, villains SHOULD be fucking evil. I'm glad that Puzzles and WPNZ did the horrible things that they did because they're not MEANT to be good people. But the things that they did? Honestly they shouldn't receive any sympathy for it. In fact, they should have doubled down on their evil. WPNZ is an ASSASSIN. He's not supposed to let a hit get away. It should be in his very blood that he does not let his enemies live. He should have tried to go after his family again and finish the job. Not because they deserved it, I mean for fucks sake the triplets probably aren't older than 10, but that's why it makes sense, because he's a VILLAIN.

SMG4 became almost entirely focused on Puzzles and WPNZ to the point that it was just a drag to get through. I know 1% of the pain that my friends had to go through, because their favorites were side characters or one offs like SMG1 and SMG2 or the Box Cult Leader, while I've always loved the Star Trio the most (Mario, SMG3, and SMG4), but to see even SMG4 himself get sidelined so much felt disrespectful, and not even "sidelined" in the way of like "We're gonna have an episode focused on a side character and let them have the spotlight for a bit" which of course has happened before and is nice because hey you have all these other characters so might as well use them, but here it really felt like that they were trying to get Puzzles and WPNZ to be the new main characters. And that was fucking frustrating.

Honest to God felt like queerbaiting

I don't think it was quite there, knowing how Glitch is perfectly fine with having queer characters even if romance is never really important in their stories, but my god it felt pretty close to it. And I get it too that SMG4 isn't really a show for romance plotlines, it doesn't really fit with the theme of the show, so not having any confirmed relationships is perfectly fine! But it was so damn obvious within the writing that they were implied to be a thing by the end of it. Like sure, constantly hinting at SMG34 and never confirming it kinda sucked as a longtime SMG34 supporter, but I'm also fine with them with their relationship remaining as is.

And the Gunshow fans aren't any better. Instead of all the interesting things we know of Puzzles and WPNZ or at least the potential that they both had as villains, they get fucking infatilized as queer men to the point that you honestly could put any yaoi ship in the fanart and fanfics and nothing would change. I used to be a fujoshi in middle school, and yeah I love me some good old toxic yaoi, but gay men are so infantilized when it comes to shipping that the fans practically change EVERYTHING about the characters they're shipping just to fit what they like.

It also feels weird AS a grown ass man to see this too, because I had to deal with getting babied and infantilized in my early transition and it felt so dehumanizing. I'm not cute, I'm not a "bean," I'm not an "uwu soft boy," I'm an adult man who likes pink and jewelry sometimes. Men can be feminine or childlike, that's not my problem, but these SPECIFIC male characters are still Grown Ass Men who do not act like typical yaoi personifications do. Yeah Puzzles is fruity as fuck in his behavior, but honestly that doesn't even equivalate to him actually BEING gay. I still think that he is, but an eccentric man does not automatically mean gay. Seeing them treated as "cute gay bois" makes me feel weird because that's also just not them.

Back to the Show

SMG4 already ENDED. They had their conclusion, and Puzzles and WPNZ's story is done. And yeah I know that there's no way Zamination would be able to make this show without Luke's permission, so I'm assuming this was already approved, but now we're ONLY gonna get this garbage and the SMG4 show either gets completely forgotten about or will ONLY ever be brought up when talking about this shitty spinoff. This is NOT SMG4, not anymore, so keep this shit out of the SMG4 tags.

It feels like such a slap in the face as a longtime SMG4 fan. We have so many characters that COULD have their own spinoff and shows, AND TWO OF THEM ALREADY DO: Meta Runner for Tari (what she was made for), and Sunset Paradise for Meggy. But these were made with love and respect for the characters, even if I didn't like Sunset Paradise much, it was still a fun experience and hey! An SMG4 original got her own show! That was still awesome regardless! Tari was made for Meta Runner first not SMG4 and are two different versions of Tari, but I think it still applies because it's how we were introduced to them! But we also have characters like Saiko and Kaizo with their dating Sim Origins (also the fans paid $10k for Kaizo to be created and we only got one small arc with him and then NOTHING), Melony for her incredible history relating to her computer knowledge, Axol having been the #1 Manga artist in the SMG4 universe who could MAKE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS REAL WITH HIS PEN, that could be so interesting to show more backstory for! Well, okay maybe not for him, but my point still stands at least for Saiko and Kaizo. Hell, Meta Runner had their own dating Sim game in an episode, could easily go with that for the setting AND have a Tari cameo that make sense!

These longtime characters deserved to have more stories, more screen time, more spotlight, yet got completely overshadowed by poorly written yaoibait. Out of every character that deserved to have more of a story, Puzzles and WPNZ already HAD enough spotlight. I hope this show is completely garbage like everything else that Zamination comes up with, either that or it gets completely shut down from a lack of interest, because they do not deserve to touch this show that means so much to me. Even if I have my issues with SMG4's writing in the last 2 and a half years of its existence, it still means the world to me, so it hurt to see the writers just not care enough to have actual continuity and a good balance of different characters getting the spotlight.

And might I add, the difference between Puzzles and WPNZ as "redeemed villains" and our actual local redeemed villain of SMG3 is that it took much more effort and time from SMG3 to go from being "The guy who nearly destroyed the world out of spite" in 2020 to "one of the universe's main protectors and heroes." By 2023. He was forced by the universe into a protector role in 2021 during the 10 Year Anniversary and the whole Genesis Arc, and he had no other choice because it was either work with his #1 enemy and rival or literally die, and SMG3 wants to live, so he swallowed his pride and held his fellow meme guardian's hand. And they had to keep this up for months! But through that forced closeness and role, he ended up making genuine connections with the rest of the SMG4 crew AND with SMG4 himself! Sure, a part of his "forgiveness" was partly due to the fact that he's a necessary figure in the survival of the universe, but hey he didnt really try anything after getting sent to the Internet Graveyard. And it's not like he completely lost his personality, he's still the same spiteful and power-hungry man he always was! But now, if he wants to use that power, he's gotta hold his rival's hand. And he does! Now that he's constantly around these people he tried to kill and having to sympathize with them, and has continually saved their lives a few times before, he doesn't feel that same hatred towards them! Then with IGBP, yet another forced power from the universe of "you feel what your partner feels when it's strong enough" causes him to realize that something is wrong with SMG4, and if he can't do his job, them they're all screwed! He puts what's right for the world over his own convenience and desires, and helps SMG4 make something that feels worth it. And even though he totally could have just walked away and left SMG4 to his own devices after Mar10 day, HE DIDN'T. He proved that he cares, that he knows when to put his own pride aside and save someone in need, so long as he sees that person as important. He put the effort into being a better person through his actions. And yeah, he's still not perfect: he still does things that are considered "criminal" by the law, and by all means is an asshole who rarely says nice things, but he's a lovable asshole who cares when he needs to. This took nearly 3 years of progress, and that's important to his story. And I know that people have varying opinions on the early 2020's Era of SMG4, but there was quite a bit of thought and care that went into SMG3's redemption, and most importantly: TIME. Because this level of change and progress takes a lot of time and many trial and error, but he did it!

Puzzles and WPNZ did not fucking have that. Their attempts at "redemption" felt rushed, poorly written, and did not take into account their actual histories and horrible things they'd done with the acknowledgment of the severity of said things. They were both victimized instead of being treated as the abusers that they were, even BY the very people that they wronged! The trauma that Meggy, SMG4, and even the Katphishes (is that how you spell their last name?) Went through is not treated with the level of seriousness and severity that it deserved! I already briefly mentioned Meggy in the post above so I won't go over it again. SMG4 caused his own insanity, but he was still exploited by Puzzles in such a vulnerable state "for content" in a way that literally destroyed his home. That's fucking relevant and literally never gets brought up again after the new SMG4 castle was built. His whole life, gone and completely uprooted because a selfish TV headed man wanted to see what would happen. How is the guilt that Puzzles and WPNZ feel more important than their actual victims' trauma?!

I don't actually know how much relevance this specific rant has to what I mentioned before but I did want to mention the better ways in which an SMG4 villain had their redemption.

Get your greedy fucking hands off of SMG4

Woke up to my day already ruined.

Like, are we forgetting that Zamination and their fans bullied a teenager for his minecraft animations to the point that he admitted himself to a psych ward, copied someone else's concepts for their horror game which is why Poppy Playtime even exists, and that they're also shit writers who one of the brothers did not even look at anything SMG4 related before working on the show? They (the brothers) fucking suck as people and don't deserve the time of day at all.

(Edit: got something wrong here, it was the Belangers of Enchanted Mob/Mob Entertainment that harassed a teenager and made Poppy Playtime, the Preciados of Zaminations are the ones who worked for SMG4 and had nothing to do with harassment.)

Holy shit I am so fucking mad. I already knew that Zam worked as additional writers for SMG4 and Glitch but I'm still fucking infuriated that they're trying to bring back the two characters who singlehandedly ruined what good we had left of SMG4 just for their own fucking spinoff they do not deserve.

Puzzles and WPNZ were completely butchered in terms of their writing.

Puzzles was meant to be a genuinely intriguing and mysterious villain who will do anything just for a good show. He was at his best when we DIDN'T know anything about him, but no the writers chose to go with the fucking Tumblr Sexyman persona instead and remove all interesting aspects from him. Like, people forget that he also does not deserve any sympathy from the SMG4 crew. He's kidnapped them, forced them to act for his shows for WEEKS against their will, tried to murder them multiple times, and also turned Meggy into a less sentient version of herself to keep as a fucking PET. She also SOUNDED like a fucking baby and that was incredibly disturbing. Because yeah sure let's remove all autonomy from a female character so the male character can objectify her, then give her Stockholm syndrome (not a real thing btw) afterwards because he TOTALLY deserves all the sympathy after that.

WPNZ was an incredibly good assassin who kidnapped his own children who he hadn't even met before and tried to turn them into assassins like him because they inherited his weaponry, and when that didn't work because THEY'RE FUCKING CHILDREN he gets mad and tries to MURDER THEM AND THEIR MOTHER, to which he lost the fight to. BUT THEN you take this very obviously murderous man and immediately make him regret this?? Like, if you're gonna make someone who went THIS FAR regret trying to murder his children, IT SHOULD TAKE MANY YEARS BEFORE HE GETS TO THAT POINT. Because his mindset is still that of an assassin: people are nothing but pricetags, and if you have no value, you're worthless. But then you also make him super fatherly to this stupid pink blob that is literally nothing but a convenient plot device? JUST WEEKS AFTER HE TRIED TO KILL HIS OWN CHILDREN?? NO. You don't GET to be a father figure after that, because you had your chance and you quite literally blew it up MULTIPLE TIMES.

And don't get me wrong, villains SHOULD be fucking evil. I'm glad that Puzzles and WPNZ did the horrible things that they did because they're not MEANT to be good people. But the things that they did? Honestly they shouldn't receive any sympathy for it. In fact, they should have doubled down on their evil. WPNZ is an ASSASSIN. He's not supposed to let a hit get away. It should be in his very blood that he does not let his enemies live. He should have tried to go after his family again and finish the job. Not because they deserved it, I mean for fucks sake the triplets probably aren't older than 10, but that's why it makes sense, because he's a VILLAIN.

SMG4 became almost entirely focused on Puzzles and WPNZ to the point that it was just a drag to get through. I know 1% of the pain that my friends had to go through, because their favorites were side characters or one offs like SMG1 and SMG2 or the Box Cult Leader, while I've always loved the Star Trio the most (Mario, SMG3, and SMG4), but to see even SMG4 himself get sidelined so much felt disrespectful, and not even "sidelined" in the way of like "We're gonna have an episode focused on a side character and let them have the spotlight for a bit" which of course has happened before and is nice because hey you have all these other characters so might as well use them, but here it really felt like that they were trying to get Puzzles and WPNZ to be the new main characters.
