How much for my beautiful and sleepy son, Orpheus? He is a very big boy but healthy according to his vet

@yourfaveisamuppet​ you are a fucking genius.

@jmbeaubier​ seeing my muppetry analysed in this way has filled me with a joy beyond human comprehension. thank you.

@whydocowsfall​ (late response im sorry) so fun fact the 1997 odyssey miniseries actually featured special effects by the jim henson creature shop, and they created polyphemus! so i’m thinking major monsters like polyphemus will be special muppets, like the ghosts in muppet christmas carol, new designs just for the film. as funny as it would be to have polyphemus be like fozzie or something i think it would be genuinely epic to utilise the full hypothetical power of the jim henson company in this hypothetical universe where disney doesn’t snipe me into a little grease spot immediately for even considering touching their property.

to everybody who said they would love to read this / watch it / would pay money to read or watch it: i love you and stay tuned because i would love to finish this script and make it available to read. to everyone who said they wanted to show this to their classics professors please tell me what they think i would love to know.

more casting thoughts

the sirens are camilla and the chickens

i think penelope is janelle monáe and telemachus might be justice smith. muppet movies have mostly a precedent of casting major characters as humans and supporting characters as muppets, so as tempted as i was to cast miss piggy as penelope, i decided to keep with tradition. breaking up piggy and kermit is also possibly an offence punishable by damnation

@theodysseyofhomer​‘s absolutely inspired ideas of sam the eagle as tiresias and statler and waldorf as scylla and charybdis will stick with me forever

the gods are all muppets. i believe hermes is rowlf. i had absolutely no reasoning for this i just liked the vibe. fozzie is zeus, because i like the idea of fozzie delivering doom but sounding like fozzie.

based on everyone’s encouragement animal has now been double cast as both himself (musician) and achilles in the underworld. but patroclus is a human man. that’s just for me.

Israel holds the cards. They have the Epstein blackmail details on Trump.

Most elected Republicans are on the same boat. You can't get that level of subordination to a much smaller country without some sort of extortion. Robert Maxwell and Ghislaine Maxwell made their fortunes blackmailing.

You do not infiltrate without the goods.

Lindsey Graham died Friday and his unqualified sister has already been sworn in. Remember when Mike Johnson refused to seat Adelita Grijalva for 50 days after she was elected?
