Hehe anyway, I like how it came out! I actually am very proud with the way I drew Thing, he's so eepy 🫶

Also I miss them... I've only been obsessed with them for a few months (since the end of September) but I really do miss them a lot ☹️ we better see them being all nice and cozy in S3 🫵

Haven't had time to draw lately, schools been keeping me busy T_T

Just a small statement about The Situation because apparently some people in the SMG4 following have got it into their heads that I'm going to sue Glitch/ZAMination for as much money as I can, which is untrue now and has never been the case. Initially all I wanted was an apology and for them to call off the hatemail. If they had acted by now, that would have been all. Due to their incredibly poor treatment of me, through their continued and complete silence, that has changed.

My sole ambition, now, is to get them to change the design of Mr Puzzle's screen. I would also like them remove the 'drips', and change the angles of the dials if possible.

That's it.

Nothing else. Nothing that would change the rig. Nothing that changes the story. I do not want money, and I do not want to cancel their show.

they are going to help me. they are taking my case.

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.

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.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT LET THIS GO SILENT!!

finally finshed the rough animation during yesterday's stream! :D

The progress made during stream today~

Am I going overboard? Probably

And please repost this and spread awareness.

This person has been horribly rude and disrespectful to a MINOR. Saying horrible threats and refusing to use their proper pronouns.

They have repeatedly sent numerous threats through anonymous asks

Theyre a extremely toxic yumeshipper who seems to take their anger out on minors who also self ship with the same character. They also are a blatant transphobe who refuses to use the wrong pronouns and respect others.

This is horrible behavior that should not be condoned whatsoever.

If you havent heard, @modmad the creator of the property of hate (one of my faborite webcomics ever) has been getting incessant hate mail for over a year due to simmularties between rgb and a certain other tv head that looks eerily simmular...tpoh is mods passion project and main source of income, so you can imagine how distressing all this must be to them after over a decades worth of work. if you'd like to help, or learn more, you can read this post thread here

Ive been a fan of modmads work since middleschool and shes probably the main reason I decided to pursue my love of making comics when i graduated despite chronic pain, illness, and being unable to attend college, her works are truly special and I encourage everyone to:

send her a nice ask

Check out her patron

COMMUNICATION.

The main thing Mod has always asked from Glitch/Zam was a statement in regards to the harrassment.

This has gotten to the point they contacted lawyers to try and get some sort of answer from the creators. Glitch/Zam should not keep quiet when it comes to situations like this where people livelihoods are on the line.

The plagerism allegations are backseat to the main issue that is harrassment, until proper communication has been established. They almost took THEIR LIFE because fans were sending them death threats.

REPEAT.

SOMEONE ALMOST COMMITTED SUICIDE.

Mod is so passionate about their 14 year old project, and they are just ONE person. They deserve support. They deserve communication. They deserve to be heard.

Thank you.

EDIT: I've sent an email to Glitch/Zam about the situation. If i recieve a reply, i'll show the answer.
