Mr. Puzzles and RGB wanting the drama to stop and make peace
My sincere apologies if this drawing makes you upset, I made this short comic as a peace artwork for both of these characters. I can understand this whole drama is really stressing you out, it’s stressing me out too and I can’t stop thinking about it. But I’m hoping to at least help you find a better solution to ending this drama for good and maybe share my thoughts on this whole situation. Bear in mind, if you don’t want to read what I have to say you can ignore it. But it would be much appreciated if you take some time to read what I have to say.
In my opinion, I really don’t think a C&D on Glitch is the right way to go. I can understand you want to reach out and talk to them about the whole situation, but forcing them to talk to you is kinda pushing things a bit too far if I’m honest. I’m guessing a lot of other people have told you this before, so sorry if I’m repeating it here. Though yeah I can see they didn’t respond back to you after many attempts so I guess it’s understandable wanting to take the “force” option you chose. But I’ll also mention that Glitch already has their hands full with the amazing digital circus final episode coming to theaters, so sending a C&D at this time isn’t really a great idea, Would be best to wait until they don’t have a lot on their shoulders. Besides, SMG4 has already ended and Zam are the ones to continuing Mr. Puzzles story. This is just my guess but Perhaps Glitch/SMG4 can’t really help in this situation because they are not in control of Mr. Puzzle’s story anymore. Of course the choices they choose aren't perfect, Glitch and Zam are both small studios that are trying to grow too. So you can't expect them to satisfy everyone and meet your demands immediately. All of us aren’t great with our decisions either, Even trying to “force” a conversation on them sounds a bit much. But I can’t blame you and J4A for using force after so many attempts to talk to Glitch.
I can see you’re not happy with Cube/FM’s statement which is understandable, but there’s maybe a reason to why he didn’t present any proof or didn’t mention you in the first place. Perhaps Cube didn’t have any proof of Mr. Puzzle’s sketches because it’s all classified (as in he’s not allowed to post the sketches), or maybe he didn’t have the proof with him. But if you want proof, check out the SMG4 movie: It’s Gotta Be Perfect. Mr. Puzzle’s clearly started out as just a floating TV head with big eyes and a creepy smile. He didn’t have a body or a static color bar in his first appearance. He was just a floating TV head with a face. Also For Cube not to mention you in the statement is probably because he didn’t want to attract more haters or harassers to you if Cube mentioned you in the statement. But this is just what I think and we still don’t know the whole story on their side.
Also I don’t think a small redesign on Mr. Puzzle’s screen is necessary. Mr. Puzzle’s screen is already iconic, forcing a change on it won’t really fix anything. I’ve mentioned this many times on your previous posts if you read them, but I think Both Mr. Puzzles and RGB deserve to coexist without one of them having to go through a forced change. If you don’t know what I mean, I’m saying let Mr. Puzzles keep his static color bar teeth design as it is. We don’t need to have him change his screen, RGB and Puzzles are literally based on a Television and an iconic error colored screen. My solution is that we leave Mr. Puzzles and his screen design alone, focus on getting the harassment to stop, let RGB and Mr. Puzzles both coexist, and both fandoms of TPOH and SMG4 make peace with each other instead. I agree we should Reach out to glitch or Zam, but we shouldn’t resort to a forced change on Mr. Puzzle’s screen just to get their attention. Just telling them to confirm that RGB and Mr. Puzzles are not the same character is enough honestly. They may have small similarities, but they are ultimately different at the end of the day with different stories, different designs, and different histories. If people are gonna point the similarities, then why don’t I review the differences that I see in them. They both have different hats that are placed on different spots on their TV head, the antennas on RGB are flat lines while Mr. Puzzles antennas are more bulgy, Mr. Puzzles has 6 colors of the static bar while RGB has 5 colors, RGB leaks color on his screen when feeling an emotion but Mr. Puzzles screen leaks only if his screen is destroyed (check out the SMG4 movie: Puzzlesvision to know what I mean if you like), RGB’s colored bars functions as a mouth while Mr. Puzzles colored bars functions as teeth, RGB doesn’t have eyes while Mr. Puzzles does, and if I’m correct, RGB changes his outfit all the time while Mr. Puzzles keeps his signature outfit. We can’t forget that RGB is from a comic series while Mr. Puzzles is from a 3D animated series. I’m aware RGB came first, but I wouldn’t care if both RGB and Puzzles had a small similarity to one another. It’s just one small similarity, No need to change it all because of one small detail. Similarities to a character happens all the time (I can name a few examples if you like to hear them), so what’s the point in all of us getting worked up over a small similarity we can just ignore it and let creators and artists do what they want? Sorry if that sounded rude, it just confuses me on why we should get worked up over small similarities when similarities happen all the time. A forced change on Mr. Puzzles is also unfair, it’s like you are forcing fans who like Mr. Puzzles into a change they didn’t ask for. You and others might say "guess they have to deal with it" but still, you can't force them to get used to it. Everyone has a right to disagree and prefer Mr. Puzzles as he is. Sometimes you got to at least hear everyone else’s opinions on the solution before sticking to it, That also includes hearing out SMG4 and Glitch fans. Also this all started because of these harassers correct? Don’t listen to them, they are just trolls and haters that only seek attention.
I’m not trying to be rude Modmad. I can see this is a lot to handle and I don’t blame you and J4A for going down this path to get their attention, Glitch should indeed talk to you as soon as possible, but knowing what they’re going through right now, we just got to give them time to get themselves together before trying to get their attention. But hopefully they’ll get the chance to talk to you soon and try to resolve the drama without both of the characters having to change their designs. I still don’t think a “forced change” on Mr. Puzzle’s screen is the right way to go. You might think I’m being unreasonable because of what I’m saying, Though you have every right to HATE me for my statement, but I’m simply trying to help you and J4A find a different solution that doesn’t need both fandoms (people who are both fans of TPOH, CAV, and Glitch) having to suffer through this. Even if a change Mr. Puzzles does happen for his new show, you can’t really get rid of his old appearance on SMG4’s Channel. People are still gonna recognize his old appearance on SMG4. That’s basically another reason why changing Mr. Puzzle’s screen is not necessary, it’s already too late and he already made his mark on the internet. It’s just best to leave the character alone and we focus on the real issue, which is stopping the hate and harassment. Once again, RGB and Mr. Puzzles are just different characters at the end of the day.
There is another solution that not everyone is happy with, but I thought it would be worth mentioning. It’s not too late for you and all of us to leave this drama all behind and move on. In many ways, this whole drama is pointless and it’s not worth continuing. Keeping this drama going isn’t great for your mental health and I wouldn’t want you to push yourself into a bad spot in this drama. We can all just ignore and drop this whole drama for good and move on continuing to create, draw, and tell more stories of our own. I heard you’ve dealt with so much hate for 2 years and I’m really sorry you had to put up with this harassment. You and others might say ignoring the hate is not what we should do and something has to be done on Glitch’s end, but this is the internet. There’s bound to be many haters and harassers out there, but it’s always up to us whether to ignore or listen to the hate. This sorta thing just happens 😅
You may not like what I have to say on this blog so if you must block me, that’s fine. I respect your decision. I just like to at least share my thoughts and reach out to you on all of this. You clearly deserve better mod and you don’t deserve all of this harassment. People and fans need to understand that Mr. Puzzles and RGB are clearly different, if they don’t understand then we ignore them or at least tell everyone the differences. Reaching out to Glitch or Zam is understandable, But Forcing them to talk to you or forcing something on their character is not the right call. A lot of people who are fans of both Mr. Puzzles and RGB are here to help you too, so take time to listen to what they have to say too. I know I may not be able to do anything about this whole drama with what I’m saying, But If you’re reaching out to Glitch, thought I could reach out to you. Small artist to another artist.
Hope this reaches you and I wish you the best on what you’ll do next 🙏🏻
Also I forgot to add the hat to RGB and I didn’t know the right colors to RGB, so sorry about that 😓
