#the sandman – @buffriday-with-the-bees on Tumblr

So we were talking about Muppet adaptations of classic literary works; somebody jokingly suggested Neil Gaiman’s Sandman on the grounds that due to the World Fantasy Award fiasco it technically qualifies as literature, and I just can’t get the idea out of my head. If they follow the pattern of previous Muppet adaptations, they’d be obliged to put Kermit the Frog in some prominent role, and every conceivable option is objectively hilarious.

Stated in a reply but I wanted to elaborate here – I like the idea of Kermit as Morpheus. Think about it: He’s a busy showrunner who’s trying to put on a good performance for people, while the rest of his cast and crew are goofballs if not whole morons, and sometimes he’s just as silly as they are. Sandman’s realm is kind of like the Muppet Show except with less humor and more melancholy soul-searching. Kermit would be a great Morpheus. And Miss Piggy could play the role of jilted lover as she often does, because Morpheus always has one of those too. And you could have Statler and Waldorf as Cain and Abel.

Statler and Waldorf as Cain and Abel

That’s horrifying.

I think I love it.

I’ve been stuck with Kermit’s voice saying this in my head all day thanks to these posts.

Perfect.

#The interactions between Mr. Gaiman and the more unhinged corners of his fandom are delightful #I do not think a Lesser Weirdo could survive here

geezhigoquae asked:

What’s it like to be on tumblr and observe everyone talking the Sandman?

netflix answered:

Astonishingly reminiscent of what it was like to be on Tumblr and having everyone talking about Good Omens, only without the arguments about whether or not various occult and/or ethereal entities were gay.

LOVING the bold move to say this where Netflix's tumblr gets all the notes on this post XD

sandman dropped at the exact right time for tumblr, since we’ve largely moved past having sexymen and are now exclusively into affectionately roasting men who are Pathetic(tm) which is exactly the treatment dream deserves

I mean look at this scrunkly motherfucker. he spent a hundred years sulking in a christmas ornament. he pisses everyone off everywhere he goes. he once sprinted out of a bar because his actual bestie suggested they might be friends. he’s so fucking rude <3 I want to crumple him up like a piece of scrap paper and do trick shots with him into my wastepaper bin
