" I know it's easier to portray a world filled with cynicism and anger, where problems are solved with violence...It's an easy out. What's a whole lot tougher is to offer alternatives, to present other ways conflicts can be resolved, and to show you can have a positive impact on your world. To do that, you have to put yourself out on a limb, take chances, and run the risk of being called a do-gooder." Jim Henson

“ What I’m against is people’s thinking puppets are exclusively for children. We’ve directed our work mostly towards adults, and historically puppets have often been for adults. It’s only fairly recently that puppets have been pushed into strictly children’s areas. As a theater form, puppetry can do virtually anything.”

How Do Stretch Goals work in a “Mystery” Bag? Stretch goals add items to the Mystery Bag item pool!

In the case of stretch goal pins, charms, or stickers, reaching this goal means the ones in your bag might be upgraded to a specialty charm/pin or a holo sticker!

In the case of other stretch goals, like notebooks and fake tattoos, these will be added to all boxes above a designated tier!

The only bag tier where you are guaranteed to get all items, including stretch goal items, is Tier 5!

Image Description: an animated video with various graphics while the Gravity Falls Theme song plays.

Image 1: The background is a painted background of the forest in Gravity Falls. In light yellow words is, "OH NO!" that bounces.

Image 2: Same background, the message now reading: "Stan spilled the Mystery Bag and is running off!"

Image 3: Same background, the message continuing: "Help Ford pick up what's been dropped and get the bag!

The image slides to the next.

Image 4: In front of the same background now has a trail, labeled "STRETCH GOAL CHASE!" On on end is a chili angry Ford; at the other end is Stan running with the Mystery Bag -- a navy blue pouch with Dipper and Mabel's zodiac symbols in the Palestinian flag colors. Spread out across the trail are various silhouetted items with a yellow question mark over them. Ford runs to the first one, which then enlarges to the center of the screen.

The image slides to the next.

Image 5: A graphic designed to look like a page from Journal 3 with coffee stains, ink splatters, and symbols. On a taped slip of paper in the top right corner reads: "100 ORDERS HOLO STICKERS 3 INCHES!" Below are 5 sticker designs. The first is of Dipper in front of a disco ball and holding a microphone that he sings into. The words, "Disco Girl" below him. The second is of Baby Bill with stars surrounding him. The third is of the infinity-sided deice. The fourth is of the unicorn, Celestabellebethabelle, and her hair blowing in the wind. The is fifth is of the crack between dimensions showing the nightmare realm, silhouettes of Bill's friends are on the other side.

Image 6: Same Journal 3 graphic. The title in the corner is, "Next Stretch Goal" Below is a fake tattoo with a star having two arms held out, the words, "Hey now I'm an All Star!" surround it. Below the image reads, "Fake tattoos. Unlocked at 125 orders"

Image 7: The forest background returns, now with the "How Do Stretch Goals Work in a “Mystery” Bag?" message from above.

I don't like the redesign either, but after I heard the producers explain why I kind of understand it? Mokey was always meant to be older than her friends, and you can see that through her design. She's much bigger, she has live hands, softer eyes, a grandma style cardigan, and more muted colors. When they pitched a reboot, Apple TV thought that Mokey looked a little too old (i disagree, but whatever). They wanted her to feel less like the other characters' mom and more childlike. That's why they turned up the saturation, changed her hair, gave her rod arms, and a new costume (I actually do really like her necklace with all the little trinkets on it I think that's cute)

Once again, I much prefer the original Mokey. She's soft and sweet, and I just want to give her a hug. I understand why they had to give her a redesign, I just wish it wasn't so dramatic of a change. She doesn't really look like Mokey anymore and that's sad.

I still love the new show. I think it's really amazing and it keeps the spirit of the original show. I'm excited for season 2.

Okay I’m going to bitch about the Fraggle Rock reboot and how much I hate the way the redesigned Mokey

DISCLAIMER: if you like or even live the reboot, that’s so so valid and I love that for you. I’m not here to tell you what and what not to enjoy. Love what you love. Live your best life

That being said

and can’t stand the reboot’s redesign of Mokey. Now, I haven’t seen the reboot, and I don’t plan too. But there’s just one thing that makes me fucking furious, and that’s Mokey’s redesign.

I hate it.

“But Zeke, “hate” is a strong word, you can’t find it that bad can you?”

I can and I will. as far as I’m concerned, that isn’t Mokey. Mokey would NEVER look like that. NEVER.

this redesign doesn’t even look like her! If I didn’t know better I’d think it was a completely different character! They took everything I loved about Mokey and ruined it

The colors are the most egregious to me. They took Mokey’s soft pastel colors and cranked up the saturation. And they don’t even look good together, they aren’t even appealing.

and like. She doesn’t even fit in with her friends anymore, she sticks out like a sore thumb. OG Mokey fit right in, but Reboot Mokey just doesn’t. She feels like she’s from a different show.

AND NO ONE ELSE GOT REDESIGNED, SO WHY DID MOKEY??? HER DESIGN WAS JUST FINE

secondly they gave her a dress and that makes me want to maim someone. I LIKED HER WIZARD CARDIGAN. SHE LOOKED NONBINARY AND AS A NONBINARY PERSON I LIKED THAT A LOT. It’s like they gave her a dress to say “look she’s a girl. Because girls wear dresses. And so she has to wear one”. I know Nonbinary people can wear dresses but it just feels weird to me as a nonbinary person who relates a lot to Mokey and gets dysphoria from dresses.

also they took away the stoned wizard vibe of the og and made her look like a TikTok white girl and I HATE IT. Mokey is a stoner wizard, not a TikTok girl.

and if you look at the redesign you would never in a million years guess what her personality was supposed to be. She looks like a peppy cottagecore type, not her actual dreamy artist with an egotistical streak. And that’s bad character design imo. You can tell everyone’s personality by looking at them EXCEPT FOR HER. OG Mokey looked like she would be dreamy and artistic, and she IS.

All in all they took away every design element that made Mokey,, Mokey and it makes me so fucking mad so I have done what I must and said “the reboot isn’t Fraggle Rock. It isn’t part of the series I love. It’s its own thing, NOT Fraggle Rock” because im not letting it get in the way of enjoying Fraggle Rock.

(Deep breath) it’s not very good. I don’t like it

Thanks for reading my unhinged rant 👍
