Kintsugi-Punk Animation
Thong & Ponn
Two problems. Zero dignity. 🧦✨
Created by Liubov Kostetska
Meet the socks
Thong and Ponn are not the perfect pair. One is stretched, serious and wearing a golden thong; the other is short, worried and patched at the heel. Together they have the best time of their lives.
The almost-dignified one
Tall, ribbed and very serious, with round gold glasses and a magnificent yarn moustache. Unfortunately he is also wearing a golden thong. He would rather not talk about it.
Dignity is a state of mind.
The patched-up worrier
Short, soft and a little unsure, with a floppy striped top, a golden bow and a proudly patched heel. Worries first, laughs loudest.
Is this a good idea? …Okay, let’s do it.
Many moods, zero dignity
The universe secrets
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. The cracks are not hidden; they become the most beautiful part. The Sockology does the same with two worn-out socks, with a punk attitude: imperfect, loud, and having fun anyway.
Joy doesn’t need an expensive status. The best party is often in the laundry basket.
Resourcefulness turns a weak spot into a strength. A hole can become your signature.
Different characters make a friendship more interesting, not more difficult.
Try new things with curiosity and humour. Worst case, you get a good story.
After any shake-up, a new adventure begins.
“Life gets tangled sometimes. Together, we turn it into a game.”
Season 1
Short, silly, under a minute. Tap “The sock lesson” to see what is hiding under the joke.
Episode 01
Thong and Ponn sneak into a drawer full of designer socks. Very shiny. Very boring. They escape back to the laundry basket, where the real party is.
UnderneathStatus and self-worth
Joy doesn’t need an expensive status. What makes you feel at home is rarely the most expensive thing in the room.
Episode 02
Ponn discovers a hole in his heel. Panic. Thong adjusts his glasses, grabs a gold thread, and suddenly Ponn has the coolest patch in the house.
UnderneathTurning a flaw into a strength
Your weak spot can become your signature. Kintsugi doesn’t hide the crack; it makes it shine.
Episode 03
Thong is tall and terribly serious, Ponn is short and terribly worried. A race across the kitchen floor ends in a knot, and two winners.
UnderneathFriendship and difference
Different doesn’t mean wrong. Two different characters make a friendship richer, not harder.
Episode 04
A stranger’s foot is coming. Hide or try? Ponn votes hide. Thong, with great dignity, votes adventure. Things get ticklish.
UnderneathCuriosity versus fear of the new
New things are easier with curiosity and a bit of humour. You can be nervous and curious at the same time.
Episode 05
1400 rpm. Total chaos. They come out tangled, dizzy, and laughing, already planning the next adventure.
UnderneathRecovering after a shake-up
After every shake-up, something new can begin. Life gets tangled sometimes; together we can turn it into a game.

Theme song · lyrics by Liubov Kostetska
One, two, socks is blue, stitched with gold and looking new! The official Sockology song, made for dancing on the kitchen floor.
Verse 1
One, two, socks is blue,
Stitched with gold and looking new!
Three, four, watch the floor,
We are tangled, give us more!
Chorus
Blue socks, blue socks
Stitched with gold
Blue socks, blue socks
Looking new and bold
Watch the floor
Give us more
Verse 2
Five, six, step in quick,
Heels tap loud on the little brick
Seven, eight, don’t be late,
Twist and turn at the garden gate
Chorus
Blue socks, blue socks
Stitched with gold
Blue socks, blue socks
Looking new and bold
Watch the floor
Give us more
Bridge
Tie them up, let them gleam
Caught in a happy running dream
Spin around, then sing it through
One, two, socks is blue
Chorus
Blue socks, blue socks
Stitched with gold
Blue socks, blue socks
Looking new and bold
Watch the floor
Give us more

Behind every joke, there is a feeling
The Sockology is made by a psychologist. Humour loosens what feels tight inside. Behind this door you’ll find the real psychology: stories, reflection tools and personal guidance by Liubov Kostetska, psychologist in the Netherlands.
