u/Short-Yoghurt-2080

In my case, most definitely the beginning of Poltergeist. I feel like nothing's going my way, like the people around me are just useless, but I keep going forward because I don't want to give up.

Living Dead at the time of its release. I was really stressed about school and I felt like I was just going through the motions of life. I wanted it to end, but I couldn't really say anything.

Much smaller and more light-hearted, "bibbidi bobbidi boo" in Propose, because I've loved the original 1950 Cinderella since I was a very small child.

First of all, I'd just like to say that this song was very out of the blue. I was honestly still recovering from Poltergeist. When I first found out about this drop, I figured it'd just be a random little song with no MV, but It got an MV, official art, the whole deal. And it was purple and kitties and I couldn't not make one. So here's another Dissection for Puppet MV.

And we start off very bizzare with this little bird toy thingy drinking out of a glass of water.

And then it cuts to our main character in alone in a room with said bird toy thingy on a table. And this room...It looks very Garfield. Very Tom and Jerry. Very cat.

Does Darling have cute little toe beans?

He refers to someone known only as 'Darling', and asks them if they'll love him for real. And there's sort of a little meow, suggesting maybe 'Darling' is a cat, or rejected him for reasons relating to a cat?

And there's these hands. Not our main character's gloved hands, but the hands of another entity (most likely the audience.) They appear continuously throughout the MV.

Meow. Yet another MV featuring us!

Our main character alos asks 'Darling' to forgive him. So...Maybe he rejected them for cat related reasons?

Yet another meow, and a thumbs up from (audience?) hands.

Our main character says he "doesn't mind dancing like crazy" and the furniture in the room starts moving around.

And then he says he'd rather be a cat.🐈

Can't blame you. You wouldn't have to have a job or anything, everything would just be provided for you, including toe beans.

This statement seems to reflect being tired and sick of society. The world as we know it is too much work for us, but for a cat, it's as easy as yelling at your human.

He calls himself a hopeless loser (with another meow), and we see him with cat ears for a bit.

Well, I guess catboy Natori is a thing now?

AND THEN IT'S JUST HELL ON EARTH!

Toe beans with a side of crisis.

Cat suit appears. I'm not sure if it's just the dude, or if it's a completely different character, but I'll just call it Beans for now.

Lyrics say "I can't get away from your eyes." (Beans? The audience? The world?) "I'm totally addicted to you" (Prolly Beans lol.)

And while Beans is clearly meant to be the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life, it's also really creepy. Definitely not innocent.

Don't think Sanrio. Think mascot for Phsycological Horror.

Our main character claims that he can't do well without...whatever 'Darling' is. (Prime candidates are Beans, the audience, or someone we haven't seen.)

And we see him peeking out from within Beans, meaning they are either one and the same, or there's some freaky FNAF stuff happening in the shadows.

WARNING! This game contains flashing lights, loud noises, and lots of jumpscares!

The audience hands are doing some freaky stuff, and not in the way that warrants the font. (Think "sacrificing Grandma to Satan because she fell down the stairs and we're pretty sure she's already dead" kinda freaky.)

BEANS JUMPSCARE AND YANDERE AHH LYRICS.

*Screams* Mommy! *Hides under the covers*

However, this suggests some kind of symbolism. Perhaps Beans is meant to represent some kind of passtime that distracts our main character from the pain of day-to-day life. (Most likely something that's not good for him like drugs or gambling.)

Our main character (or Beans, idk.) mentions "playing pretend" and "ailing weekends" so yeah, this is definitely an alone thing.

And then bro gets work handed to him, literally.

And we see Beans "work" for a little bit before just going to bed.

YOU FOOLS. WHY WOULD YOU TRY TO GET A CAT TO WORK? HE'LL NEVER DO ANYTHING!

So yeah, the working life is not for Beans. He...he didn't do very good...

AND THEN WE SEE THEM SEPERATED, SO YEAH THE BEANS WERE PROBABLY JUST A FIGMENT OF OUR IMAGINATIONS.

Maybe the real toe beans were the friends we made along the way.

But this just proves that Beans is more symbolic than anything. He's meant to represent what we naturally feel inclined to do. Not what's best for us, not what we want, but what we would choose over any kind of effort.

And the lyrics "Everyone and their cat are all a bunch of imperfections" not only says "y'all suck." But it also says "Don't act like your shit don't stank", showing that our main character not only hates himself, but the world as well.

AND THEN SOME MORE CREEPY LYRICS. (STRONG YANDERE VIBES.)

So Booktok of you.

Thankfully, we recover from this very creepy, very Yandere statement with our main character asking (most likely Beans) if they're a hopeless loser too.

Average cat experience

And we see Beans in a dark corner like a creep...Or my cat breaking into my room at 2am and making a bunch of noise for no apparent reason. SCREW YOU LEO, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!

Our main character expresses a desire to be rewarded, and does not want to take his eyes off of...Beans? I'm pretty sure it's Beans at this point.

Second chorus is mostly uneventful. Just silliness.

But going into that cool little trumpet bit, we get Beans-shaped silhouette in black and white, which fits nicely.

Hell yes.

And it is in that little bit that we see our main character, clearly in distress.

Please...I have a family...

More proof that Beans is not good for him.

But once we're back in color, we see that he is trying to break free. We see him with a hammer, tired of "escaping to fantasy."

But he turns around and makes more of these silly cats, so yeah, that's great.

And he's just going bannanas from all the cats. Until finally, he addresses 'Darling' once again, asking them if they'll love him for real. And as it stands, the chances that this 'Darling' of his is a cat and not a person just keep getting higher.

And we see him with scissors, suggesting that maybe he's finally gonna do something to change his situation.

Come one man, get rid of at least one.

He addresses 'Darling' once again, asking them to kill him for real. And we see...

Beans inside of Beans?

WARNING! THE LAST MOMENTS OF YOUR LIFE WILL CONTAIN FLASHING LIGHTS, LOUD NOISES, AND LOTS OF JUMPSCARES!

So yeah, they are most likely one and the same. And someone's probably gonna die.

We see the hands holding out fish, and here's our jumpscare!

Kill me quickly...Please...

Our main character's face becomes obscured with cut and pasted pieces of Beans and of himself, making it unclear how much of him is man and how much is beast.

Then we see our main character finally kill Beans with the scissors. (Cutting the strings. Puppet kitty. Makes perfect sense.) But as he does so, he expresses that he's screwed up. (Did he actually love that thing?)

When the whole ordeal is over, the room is a mess, and he sits atop an imobile Beans, staring right at us.

Indeed it is. The room, your brain, everything.

He asks if we've screwed up too. And grabs us in the creepiest way possible, claiming to hear a voice in the back of his head. (Already very concerning, but our fate could easily be changed if we just kicked him in the gut.)

God gave you knees for a reason. They were meant to make his internal organs beg for mercy.

And you know what the voice in his wacky head is saying? "Let me dance"

Oh no...Call an exorcist.

We see Beans swirling around in some kind of fantasy land (probably in his head) and he says he's just a puppet, going nowhere.

And on strings, we see a dismembered Beans. (Yup, I'm leaving.)

Our main character addresses 'Darling' one last time, and it becomes clear that we are Darling. And he's asking us to love him for real, one last time.

And we probably refused, because we ended up in a cage in the corner, while he just casually leaves us alone in the room with this demonic cat suit.

I ALWAYS COME BACK

This MV was a lot. When you pull the string, it doesn't just neatly come unraveled. There's knots that you have to deal with but when you finally get to it, you'll find a war within our main character's mind, an endless battle between his darling...whoever, and this silliness. When he cuts the strings, there is no clear winner, and he is still a puppet.

Call this creature whatever you like. Beans was just a temporary name for the Dissection. It's just a silly cat. :p
