Sometimes l'm late because I sit like this for a long time

Happy International Dog Puppet Day!

I invented this holiday as an excuse to draw Gromit and Rowlf hanging out

i don’t care what y’all say this is still funny as hell

I don’t watch the wrasslin’ but I like the cut of this guy’s jib.

You guys don’t understand.

Other dudes had been calling him Beaker as an insult for months.

And then the Muppets hosted.

AND THIS FUCKING HAPPENED.

was gonna make a comp of stuff from the various interesting things from th various muppet style guides but this one hit so hard i had t post it on its own

"Easy Being Green, It's Not" (2010) by Peter de Sève (1958).

@hexadecimal00

He is everything to me.

i cant be fucked to go find the actual post but u guys know the "if miss piggy was on drag race she would absolutely bring up the fracking" post, and then the comment that's like of course she would her boytoy is an environmentalist

ok first of all that comment always throws me because i think the reason the image works so well is cause it's something you know she'd do of her own accord. like i don't think ms piggy has ever in her life done something bc she was taking someone else's opinion into consideration

but anyway. my point is it made me realize that part of the reason i liked and agreed with the og post so much is cause ive always just assumed that like. ok so ms piggy has the whole vintage early hollywood diva thing going on right, like her whole deal is she's an aging diva who was huge in the 1940s and now its the 1960s and her lustre has faded but the magic's still there. and this comes across extremely strongly in the way she acts

well because of that, i think i've always subconsciously assumed it was an implicit part of her backstory that she participated in the walkout during the hollywood red scare in 1947. of course she would bring up the fracking, she was an early face of american communism. she was huffing and throwing her shawl over her shoulder at the huac interrogation

miss piggy was one of the hollywood ten

She is also a young ingenue out to make it big and a skilled performer fully aware she is on the cusp of being old-for-a-woman, what would be her prime if she were a man, and a rising star grinding to secure her leading lady cred, and a diva with undeniable draw and value. She's all of those at once. She is eternal.

just gonna go cry thank u kermit

{ID - TikTok from @ CamGarrity featuring Kermit the Frog looking directly into the camera and speaking softly. Transcription: “No! Don’t... Don’t scroll away. Heh. I just wanted to remind you that I love you! Let’s breathe in together... And breathe out. I’m real proud of you!” /end Description}

Pitch: Muppet Lord of the Rings. Miss Piggy as Eowyn. Imagine her just throwing herself at a human man playing Aragorn. Imagine her defeating the Witch-King of Angmar by going “HI-YA!” and karate chopping him.

Throwing herself at Aragorn

Then Kermit arrives as Faramir and she just bodily pitches Aragorn offscreen

So Viggo is the Tolkien human of the cast?

I think the problem with Kermit is that it’s really easy to reduce him to a joyless jerk because his role IS being the straight man to a cast of bozos and he IS blunt and tired, but the thing is, he’s not a jerk hes a funny little frog.

Kermit is not a jerk, Kermit represents the exact feeling you get when one of your posts reaches over 100k notes and people keep adding the same bad joke on the comments

I need this movie in my life now.

This would make an amazing ask game, y’all. Someone put a movie/show into your ask and you play keep the human and cast the Muppets. 

Frank Oz and Jim Henson ad-lib as Fozzie and Kermit in this test footage for the first Muppet movie, and honestly it's pure gold.

This is a professional shitpost roleplay.

I’m crying becuase this is something I’ve never seen before, something original of that era of the Muppets with both Oz and Henson working on one of my favorite movies, but also becuase this is the funniest thing I have seen in mONTHS.

Kermit doesn’t have a nose or lips but he conveys more emotion than any human

Okay but instead of shipping the grumpy one with the cinnamon roll, imagine shipping two grumpy ones. Just being salty about fucking everything together all the time. Having the same salty philosophy on life and snickering at other people’s idiocy 24/7.

i mean, okay

I mean are they not a salty old gay couple who go to the theater only to offer scathing criticism and make each other laugh? Like that’s how I’ve always interpreted them. 

Waldorf canonically has a wife, named “Astoria”.  However, since Astoria is just the Statler puppet in drag, this just raises further questions.
