I think “Monster” is just a bad description for Residents and has no business being in there. Granted the two that use it are a bit unique, so I KIND of get it. But honestly… The Puppeteer was also pretty unique as well, and her name suits her far more.

"O-oh, well surely I must've passed with flying colors then, yes?"

The puppeteer magician swiftly tosses his hair, flashing a jagged smile at Simirror. His palms clasped together as he leaned in closer.
"Uhhh... R-Right! That was uhh, just a test! Yeah!"

*Uh-huh.... sure, you totally didn't mistake Taranza for a spider, totally....*
"CHEESE AND RICE! WHERE?!"

Startled, Taranza would cock his head to the side, darting his uppermost eyes left and right.

"...There, uh, doesn't appear to be any spiders lurking around this area."

Ames looked down, gasping in horror when she saw the damage to the twins.

“O-Oh no…!”

She quickly sprung to action, hopping off the bed and bringing the twins to her bedroom. Luckily Lilly’s hand would safely exit the puppeteer spot with no damage or problem as Ames left.
lilly almost tries to snap her out of it, but then gets an idea. she slips her uninjured hand into the puppet.

the twins sadly look up at ames.

"auntie...my belly hurts."
"mine too, i'm afraid..."

despite their attempts to cover it, the broken wire has ripped the puppet's cheap fabric body open.
Ames didn’t say anything, nor even look at Lilly, her gaze completely fixated on the now limp twins in her arms, she still hasn’t let go of them. The twins embraced in a tight, mama bear like hug.

Misery, but Anne cripples the writer by removing his puppeteer

"alright girls, i've got something to show you."
T-"you do?"
P-"really?"
"yup!"

she turns the twins to face ames, and they seem confused.

T: "she looks like us..."
P: "where's her puppeteer, ma?"
Ames puts the wig back on, the only piece of the costume she’d taken off and…acts like a limp puppet again.
she gestures for ames to put the costume back on, and then grabs the twins from her bedside table. they rub their eyes sleepily.

T: "mother...?"
P: "hi ma..."

What talent! It sounds so much like herself!

Rosalina takes... 'Rosalina's' hand and gives the doll a gentle handshake.

"Why hello, princess. It's nice to meet you.~" She says, doing her best to match the mimicry.
A wink is given to the puppeteer child while doing so; a little nudge —
She slowly nodded, making the plush give a wave.

R: “Hello.~ I am Princess Rosalina.~ it’s nice to meet you.~”

The girl’s just doing her best impression of Rosalina, albeit unknowingly, at least to her. She’s also puppeteering the plush to move around as it ‘speaks’.
— come to the realization on her own.

"She's quite beautiful. There really is a resemblance, isn't there?"

The puppeteer is really well hidden

Milo looks as if he wants to ask you something. Unfortunately he doesn’t speak American and you don’t speak cat, so we’ll never know what it is!

Ames giggles as she’s cuddled.

“I-I even did this…”

She said, turning the twins around and pointing to the hole where Lilly would puppeteer them from. Only to turn around herself and reveal an identical hole! It’s not an actual hole though, just some really good makeup work.
"baby, that is the best and the cutest halloween surprise ever."

she gets back on the bed and cuddles ames affectionately, making sure not to mess up her makeup.
“M-Me and…h-hold on-“

Ames did her vocal change spell again, changing her voice back to normal.

“T-There…me and M-Ms. Ragatha worked on it…I-I thought it’d be a n-nice surprise…”

She said, before pulling out the actual twins from underneath the pillows.

“I-I…wanted to get every d-detail right…”

You know what, this is so weird. So if you combined The Puppeteer and The Leech Monster, you’d basically get the vibes of my Resident. 😅
It continues.

While I don’t think my LN persona would live in the Carnevale, I could see it being possible with just how much is down there. The Puppeteer definitely reminds me a bit of them. You can sort of see what I’m getting at in the design, even though they’re quite distinct.
It’s somewhat absurd how many LN3 aesthetics, ideas, and “references” are hidden within the “OC” I conceptualized for myself back in 2021. And I’ve never even posted the concept art/ detailed description for them.

It’s downright vindicating. Maybe I HAVE sunk.

I can recommend VICE (movie) without any doubt to understand the level of puppeteer G. W. actually was.

Brilliant movie. But also heart sickening.

Chamberlain (and his puppeteer, excellently) wailing did not help

"FAIR, CIS and NumbersUSA are all part of a network of restrictionist organizations conceived and created by John Tanton, the “puppeteer” of the nativist movement and a man with deep racist roots."

@mrjamesob.bsky.social . Meanwhile the US airforce greatly reduce their capacity in the Europe and the gulf. Putin showing he’s still the master puppeteer.

That episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog with the puppeteer

It ends with both Eustace and Muriel left as lifeless puppets instead of just Eustace being the butt of a joke. I know continuity isn't exactly the show's thing but they have two characters basically dead on screen and there's no lesson.
In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?
