What are these strings

You talk about?

Unbreakable?

I highly doubt!

Pathetic things,

Soon you will see...

I've had these strings

For quite a while

They hold me up

And make me smile

With these strings

My heart feels true

Why aren't there strings on you?

Idea by @luci-morningstar812 I initially came up with this concept for my new header but it happened to fit #puppetornot perfectly so I decided to upload it as well. This is my sona/oc, whatever you call it, I tried to do this with myself and it did not work lmao

OOC

Hey guys, I want to make this post out of character to address a few things about the blog that have occurred recently. Most of it will be under the cut, however, there is something I need to say before we continue.

First off, I want to apologize to the creators of the #puppetornot hashtag and concept. @luci-morningstar812 and @septicstacheedits are the original creators, and they should be the ones receiving the credit for it. I reblogged some of the posts earlier since I thought it was a really neat idea, but in doing so, accidentally hijacked the event and stole credit away from the original creators. If you made something for the event and tagged the blog in it, but did not tag Luci or Tazzy, please take it down and repost it with the proper credit and the lyrics as per the event’s instructions. If you haven’t participated yet, but are planning on it, please see Luci’s and Tazzy’s original posts for the instructions and more information.

Secondly, the response I’ve gotten from the blog is massive, and I’m so thankful to have all of you here. That being said, please be courteous of the fact that there is a real person behind this blog. I have a life outside of this, which includes work, school, homework, and sleep; so if I don’t get to your ask immediately, please take note of that. Also, there are currently 130 asks waiting to be answered at the moment, with a good portion of them sent by the same few people. As much as I’d love to be on here 24/7 answering asks and diving headfirst into everything, I do need to take time out for myself as well, and I ask that you respect that. Even if Anti is always watching, I can’t, so please respect that and don’t hound me if I don’t respond to you immediately. 

Going off of that, please remember that this is all just for fun. I’m not Sean, this isn’t the real next phase, and I have no idea what he’s actually planning for ego stuff in the future. I’m going off of the same things you guys are, and most of what I’ve got planned is just little ideas that I haven’t had time to really think over, so I’m just going off instinct and improvisation. With that being said, please don’t be rude to each other or to me. I’ve gotten several asks that have insulted or flat out attacked me, and that’s not okay, especially in a community of positive, friendly people. Same thing with the task and the rat resistance. There are real people behind all these blogs, so be respectful and remember that at the end of the day, this is all just for fun. So please keep that tucked in the back of your head as things move forward. I don’t want to have to say something like this again.

And finally, in regards to the task/rat resistance, I do want to also apologize for naming the blogs without tagging them in the original. I got really excited about the idea and jumped into things without thinking of the consequences, and I am sorry if I made anyone anxious or made it out to be a witch hunt. I’ve interacted as Anti with all those blogs before, hence why they were on the list, but I didn’t want to make people uncomfortable or harass them. I was originally going to try to come up with an alternate task for anyone who either didn’t want to or was unable to complete the task, but real life started crashing around me and I was unable to get one out in time. If you don’t want to participate in the task, that’s perfectly okay, and I want to apologize for putting that on you guys. Anti won’t punish you for it in-game, and I’ll make sure that any other tasks are either individual or based around an internal team effort rather than an external conversion. 

TL;DR: Please credit Luci and Tazzy with the #puppetornot idea, not me, and respect both me and everyone else, whether they’re involved with the blog’s events or not. At the end of the day, this is still a community, and I don’t want things to become toxic when it’s supposed to be just a game for fun.

Again, I apologize for everything, and I hope that you all can forgive me for my mistakes and that we can all move forward together.

Thank you, 

-The Mun

I've got no strings to hold me down

To make me fret, or make me frown

I had strings but now I'm free

There are no strings on me

I've got no strings so I have fun

I'm not tied to anyone

How I love my liberty,

There are no strings on me!

Getting Tighter

Inspired by the post originally made by @luci-morningstar812 and @septicstacheedits, and particularly inspired by @pandapopplay art in response to it (original accidentally deleted, but my reblog is here)

A bright light flooded the room, causing her to hiss in pain, and clutch at her eyes. Green stained her hands for a moment as the last of the darkness retreated from the room, the vivid colour fading as the blackness fled.  

Blinking back to awareness, she breathed out a lungful of air she didn’t realise she had been holding. How long had it been this time? She stretched tight muscles, revelling in the freedom to move however she wanted for a time. Right at the extent of the stretch, a sharp pain at her wrists brought her up short.  

Right. She thought, resigned. Those still exist.  

It was one of the few lucid moments allowed to her. Even now, she wasn’t aware if he did it on purpose, or if this was just the time that he was focused on someone else. She plucked at the strings around her wrists. She was able to feel them now, feel the wrongness of them. All too soon she’d slip back into that bright darkness where her thoughts weren’t her own. Her plucking and picking grew more desperate. A part of her knew that they wouldn’t come loose – not anymore. They’d been on too long, had tightened too much, a knot pulled firm by the constant tension, made worse by trying to untie it.  

She didn’t have long. He’d pull her back again, by those same strings. The rough wire was starting to rub, to irritate. She wanted them off, wanted the scars to heal and fade – if that was ever possible. But they’d already started to heal. Healed not to smooth skin, but into ruts. Permanent cuts, she supposed. That’s what he liked, after all. For everyone to look like him. To spread his image.  

Viruses always spread through replication.
