Finally , puppets speak out about " The Happytime Murders "

Puppets talk about how puppets and even cartoons seem more and more humanized in the media now a days.

And perhaps the whole sugar thing is nothing more but a stereotypical myth.

Bullies

Bullies

By

Erica Crooks

If you want to know what true evil is , it’s hierarchy.

What causes hierarchy , it’s hate and fear .

Sure some don’t believe in the duality of Good vs Evil , in fact they are indifferent to it.

On a spiritual level , it’s Soul vs Ego , and right to the core if it all ,

It’s a battle between Love vs Fear.

And such fear can be aggressive or submissive in depression.

As an Anarchist , I say that hierarchy is to blame for all the world’s problems especially those which are addressed all the time within New Age / New Thought Spirituality.

Some can point and say it’s right wing politicians. That can be true.

But notice that no one ever says anything regarding Democrats ?

For anyone who truly wants the ultimate good in this world ,

Why would so called “ Realistic “ options be the best since it lied about it’s usefulness through tradition.

If we want a better world for everyone , everywhere or everything , then we got to build the new world in the shell of the old . We got to realize that the fight isn’t among ourselves but those who keep us submissive to their power and whatever authority they claim to have.

A fascist cyberbully troll ( https://www.officialericcrooks.com/adults-get-bullied-too.html ) 

, Trump , or the ruling class who may or may not expose their face or have a public identity , it’s the same thing. 

Yes , we all do want happiness in our life. But thinking “ Reality “ is the way it is is just the very indifferent language of secretly “ GIVING UP ! “ .

But what if we can fight with love. What if we can understand what we fear.

What if the fight is towards bad behavior , because it really doesn’t matter the who because only the names have changed.

If it’s president Nixon or president Trump , they are love hating bullies.

And the more those who seek to hurt innocent people are secretly hurt themselves.

Perhaps there’s a little bit of that in each and everyone of us.

We know what it’s like to be bullied. And it sucks.

Bullies are not making any political point when they do it , they just get sadistic lust over

Seeing a crying face or seeing someone in a miserable situation or WORSE !

Every single evil act , thought , and speech has it’s roots.

Perhaps these are the kinds of people who need the most love but deserve it the least.

So how do we use love to conquer fear and hate ?

By building a culture of resistance. By popularizing anarchy ( meaning anarchism ).

Anyway you can. If local or global.

As an empath myself as I addressed in my online book

https://www.officialericcrooks.com/adults-get-bullied-too.html

Adults Get Bullied Too ! Which next year will mark the 10th anniversary of the tragic tale ,

The key points I’ve pointed out was to

NOT give attention to such bad behavior and to forgive from a distance.

But the very thing to keep in mind is this.

Hierarchy , Authority , Government , etc works hand and hand with these local bullies.

Perhaps it’s not even conscious . Because conscious bonding would be love right ?

No different than a neighborhood ran by illegal activity.

They are all going to take advantage of each other just like Fighting Fish in the sake tank.

Perhaps such authoritarian justifications are shown within the Animal kingdom but humans ( as of now ) are the most intelligent living creature of existence . 

We can help those animals find a mate instead of animals fighting for one.

Same with food and a safe and cozy home when destructive weather takes place like a tornado .

We have the power ! Let our spirit guides help out as well.

Let’s vision a word where ALL HUMAN NEEDS ARE MEET from survival to socializing with good people who would never regret in trusting.

If it’s Law of Attraction or Libertarian Socialist Anarchism or both.

So when it comes to bullies , know this.

The more bullies don’t get the psychological help they need which is perhaps the only way they can cave in to the power of love , tears and all ,

If they don’t get the help we need , the more problems we are going to have.

And perhaps we need to take a look at these sciences and get rid of anything that’s pro-hierarchy .

The only things that have hierarchy in them that should stay should be the media of the past only being displayed as “ A Product of It’s Time “.

When I was a teenager , my question to the world was

“ What is this mess called adulthood , who’s responsible and how come no one is doing anything to clean it up ! “

But NOW A I KNOW !

“ This is the world we live in , and these are the hands we’re givin’ “

_ Genesis ( Land of Confusion ) ( * aka Spitting Image music video *  1986 )

“ If we all spit together , we’ll drawn the bastards ! “

_ ( Bob Crow , also adopted by Spitting Image )

“ When the power of love overcomes the love of power , the world will know peace “

_ Jimi Hendrix

“ Give Peace a Chance “ _ John Lennon

Someday , we can live life without fear and hate.

But it’s up to us.

_ Erica

Internet Capitalism #NetNutrality #SaveTheInternet

 Internet Capitalism #NetNutrality #SaveTheInternet



Anarchists , Introverts , INtuitives & The Left Unite ,

#infp #infps Fellow INFPs , Lightworkers etc

 EVERYONE !

The Internet has been a best friend to you more than most people you ever knew.

It has to me.



A technology that you can do anything , anywhere , and anything …

You can learn Law of Attraction and manifest mostly great things in your life if you want.

You can learn about Anarchism and learn the truth of what’s really going on , what mainstream television would never mention unless they want to put it down.

Maybe , just maybe , you realize that your not attracted to feminine woman romantically

But your attracted to Butch Lesbians ! Even though you know that you were born in the male body , you compare yourself to your fellow men and you feel deep down in your soul that perhaps you are one of the girls.

Sure , maybe you are not 100% feminine and Barbie like.

You are kind of an androgynous tomboy ….

Perhaps you realize your Androgyne / Genderqueer

However you know there’s something within you.

You see a Butch and Femme lesbian couple and what you would give to be the Femme and have a nice , masculine butch lesbian love you as if you where her girl.

Maybe you look up the subject of Transgender Woman after meeting one , and you realize that yes , Transgender Women can be androgynous as well as lesbian just like cisgender women because women are women no matter what.

Perhaps you meet some transgender men friends and see things from the other side of the street , perhaps you meet nice Gay men , perhaps nice cisgender heterosexual men , maybe that puts your mind / body and soul at ease realizing that not all men are like your abusive father.



Ok , perhaps I’m sprinkling my own life experience as well as the possibilities of someone else in a similar situation like me who used the internet that helped their life / personal growth / and spiritual growth and even coming out of the closet !



The point I’m making is ,

YOUR NOT ALONE !





Hierarchy only wants to have power over us and our human needs !



Ever heard of The Self Determination theory ?

https://positivepsychologyprogram.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/self-determination-theory-three-needs.png



Or how about Maslow’s pyramid of human needs ?



https://pandsidentity.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/800px-maslows_hierarchy_of_needssvg.png



Now what if hierarchical power if it’s

The New World Order , The richest of the capitalists that work in the state from The Queen to Trump !



Perhaps it’s not really the who , but the what !



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmlJh8fThyE





Which is hierarchy ,



For more information I strongly recommend The Anarchist FAQ !



http://anarchism.pageabode.com/afaq/index.html





Isn’t it interesting how The Internet is really for the people and how we can make our own website and even our own TV channel through YouTube or DailyMotion or Vimeo or even on our own website , YET those freedoms might fade away.





The FCC might just want to turn the internet into a streaming media player and that’s it.



We just can’t go the liberal root and put our differences and try to get along.

I’ve tried really hard to think that way.

But you know , that feels like someone who hasn’t escaped an abusive relationship controlled by narcissistic supply.

The sociopaths don’t just stop on the internet , the fascists don’t just stop in your local area ,

They have power over us.



Perhaps it’s going to take a little bit of everything from everyone’s part in their own way to get rid of hierarchy / authoritative / totalitarian fascism ( aka Bullying ) .





Even Love will conquer Hate and Fear . Someone will find a way as we are digging to find truth , We are stabbing at the ice to break through to get access to water underneath …





Just remember the 1960s , never lose hope ( even though a bunch of them sure did ) ,

“ WE SHALL OVER COME ! “

Who's the enemy of hierarchy ? Or is it what ?

 Have you ever noticed that Anarchists and Left Wing New Age " New World Order " Conspiracists have something in common ? They are both against hierarchy . The Pyramid of hierarchy is within the anti-hierarchy theory both share , but the question is " Who's on the top ? " The richest capitalists who are possibly in secret societies or is it related to Dark Entities and Malevolent Extraterrestrials ? What if both are right ? Perhaps what actually matters is hierarchy is useless and does more harm than good.

The overwhelming side to puppetry and animation filmmaking

The overwhelming side to

puppetry and animation

filmmaking

By

Erica Crooks

I’m not exactly sure how to begin this blog post. But it’s something that came to my mind this evening as I little by little unpacking and organizing things in my new apartment.

As I now relax and take it easy this evening in my new apartment , I think about a little bit about my previous apartment. For those who don’t already know this , I was living out of my mother’s bedroom as a temporary apartment ( me and my mother live in the same neighborhood ) because I was being bullied by transphobic middle aged men in my neighborhood and no one really did anything about it so the only solution was to let the landlords know that I’d like another apartment which I did feel pushed out of my other one which I was at since 2010. 

So it’s a relief to have an apartment again , even though my own mother is my next-door neighbor ironically. lol , still this 30 year old wants to live an independent life even though my mom still acts like a mom. 

But that’s not exactly what I wanted to talk about in this blog post ,

The other thing I wanted to mention was when I rebuilt my puppets for The Erica Crooks Show again from 2013 / 2014 - 2016 . 

And I think I mentioned this in my somewhat recent behind the scenes blog videos where I mention that I work out of my own apartment . It’s one thing if you have a little home office.

It’s another when you turn it into a puppet film studio and workshop.

Not only was the show funded out of my own personal money , but many times I would work late nights and crash into bed with barely any sleep at all.

Also I had the bad habit of not really cleaning after myself after filming because I was so exhausted . In a recent video I did showing how I go about building my puppets , I mentioned my awareness that the puppets are cheaply built which I like to compare my puppets to crash-test dummies . However the best puppet builders know that when you build a puppet , you want to make sure that they will last because puppets do wear out. 

The Muppets did this all the time , they kept rebuilding current characters as well as new ones.

And since we live in a hierarchical capitalist society , yes things cost money.

And many times I felt like a single parent raising many kids ( my puppets ).

So as you can already tell , this may not be a normal average person living in an apartment.

Sure it was fun but at the same time it was overwhelming probably due to social media.

Social Media encourages people who create online content not only quality content but quantity but sometimes there’s people who put out quantity over quality.

I tried to do my best to deliver both but I know I’m not the only one to feel the “ Burn-out “ .

Even the biggest YouTube stars get burned out . 

I still remember when I had a public access television show which of course was The Erica Crooks Show from 2006 - Spring 2009 , I filmed the show like an independent mini-movie technically making my own television program out of my own room or the basement of my abusive father’s house ( usually when he was asleep or not home ) . 

And since I did video editing and things , This was No simple public access TV show , I was doing my best to make a quality comedy show with a shoe string budget. 

And the show went from once a week , to every other week , to bi-weekly , to once a month , to bi-monthly , etc. And I think even doing online stuff I tend to fall into the same trap the more quality I load into something. 

Hollywood has got all the money and only a lucky few get in if at all , one moment someone would be part of a show loved my many and the next they end up trying to make the bills even with their comic con career. 

Now back to my apartment situation , it’s often difficult to record sound and I’m just lucky no one ever complained about me being too loud. Lol 

I’m thankful for the work I got done from 2013 - 2016.

However I did have a thought that came to my mind many times in recent months.

Just how many people are trying to imitate the 30 minute half hour television show format and doing it in their videos as a one person show ? 

And if doing this format with a sketch comedy show featuring over 100 puppets is challenging and a lot of hard work , try doing the South Park challenge by trying to make a 30 minute animated comedy show within 6 days however unlike South Park , you do it by yourself. That’s even more insane.

Noticed how my Halloween comedy special ended up being 1 minute long ? And also I had a planned Halloween special in 2014 that eventually got abandon.

The Ask Dr LeBrick Halloween Special was probably the fastest I ever came to doing anything relating to making a movie by myself with the exception of doing my show of course.

The fun thing about that special as well as The Ask Dr LeBrick Holiday Special was about 99% of it all was improv and adding stuff through editing and things like that.

It was so wild , creative and fun to do no matter how low brow.

And it kind of brought me back to my roots before my show became more and more of a satirical comedy show then the silly comedy show that made no sense like it was when I started going on 20 years ago.

Here’s the thing about television , it’s pretty much as good as dead unless someone was doing something necessary . Because when puppets and cartoon animation is made for television , technically it’s filmmaking.

The differences between what’s available to us within the last 20 years ( which is pretty much as old as the internet itself ) is that filmmaking equipment has became more advanced and affordable while before if you weren’t in the mainstream you couldn’t do it.

However like I said due to capitalism , it’s hard to resemble anything with the same quality unless of course someone successfully fundraises it with something on the lines of Kickstarter , indigogo , Patreon , or some form of online crowdfunding .

It’s just that even though it may look easy , it’s really a lot of hard work and effort that goes into what I do . Also a lot of time to make too.

When I was in my 20s and even younger , I had so much more energy than I have now at age 30. And I know it might sound silly and perhaps I’m sounding older then I am , but again what I was trying to achieve was making my own television show and I did achieve that even though at times it was hit or miss.

I love the work that I’ve done and still love to do it , although brainstorming many possibilities of trying new things and formats out is a good idea. There’s a saying “ Quality over Quantity “ which sounds like a good idea , however it takes forever and I loose my concentration and it might get abandoned if I’m too bored. That’s why when I do something such as The Ask Dr LeBrick specials , I would constantly add more new ideas and creative stuff into it so I would still have interest in completing the project.

There’s so much freedom in what I do which makes it so much fun to do , however sometimes I write down so many ideas that a lot of them need to be thought into consideration before I decided to go and create a new project without abandoning it.

I think the life lesson that I’ve learned within the past 3 years was to take better care of myself and take breaks when I need them. And sometimes that can be hard to do because I would work in huge bursts of energy and then burn out , and then I get the second wind after having thoughts of quitting for awhile and the whole cycle happens again. 

I think the most important aspect in what I do is to remember why I do what I do. Because if it ain’t fun , why do it ? And sometimes when taking breaks I get re-energized and re-inspired.

Also it good to plan stuff instead of doing a life balancing / juggling act where one works on a new film project while things in the personal life get in the way.

One of the things that I’ve been doing since the 2017 Season of my show was not to go into production all year round and take the rest of the year off if I feel like I need time to re-charge and stuff . But even making shows in bulk like I was trying to do didn’t work out for me exactly.

It’s interesting because if you look at how certain television shows are made now a days , many shows take on that filmmaking format and like movies , some are made in the matter of months while others take longer. But one person does everything independently outside the Hollywood system , perhaps it depends on what they do , but perhaps it would take longer.

As an anarchist , I strongly feel that art in such a free society such as an anarchist society / 5D Earth because without the worry about money , artists will have the maximum unlimited freedom to do what they want to do as well as meet like minded artists that won’t screw them over.

So in conclusion , when you set your body , mind and soul into something , perhaps an indicator of if something you do is meant to be , perhaps see if you fall into such a loop that I go into. lol
