#Rainbow Connection

[sapphuric-acid]

Man "Rainbow Connection" really hits hard. It's about hope, it's about dreaming.

We grow up hearing that we shouldn't be making hapless wishes and to get our head out of the clouds. After all, you can't find gold at the end of the rainbow because it's just a light phenomenon, it has no concrete end. But somebody once thought to have big dreams and hope they come true, and they took that hope and chased that dream and actually made something real of it. And if it worked for them then why wouldn't it work for us? And if hope is meaningless then why are we compelled to hope, to make wishes? And yeah maybe the compulsion you feel late at night to achieve that dream is just reckless wishing, maybe it's like all those other dreams that have failed and left people in ruin, but what if it isn't? You've spent so much of your life dreaming, hoping for your wish to be granted. You can't just give up on that, what if you succeed? What...what if you succeed?

The lovers... the dreamers... and me 🌈

And what if I said that Rainbow Connection is the most beautiful and gorgeously written song I’ve ever heard in my life and genuinely little other songs come close to its absolute perfection? What then?

Here is my latest project, "Kermit Singing Rainbow Connection"! It was so so fun to stitch this singing Kermit the Frog. If you want to try it out yourself, you can find the pattern in DoctorBeatman's store on Etsy!

The Rainbow Connection

[shutupcrime]

Hear me out-

A Muppet’s Midsummer Night’s Dream

Theseus, Hippolyta, Lysander, Hermia, Helena and Demetrius are all esteemed Shakespearean actors who keep to the original script, whilst all the fairies and some of the mechanicals are muppets muppeting about with the occasional soliloquy.

I present to you my vision:

Gonzo as Oberon

Believe me when I tell you Gonzo has RANGE. I think his background as an alien will help him embody the more mystical elements of Oberon and we know from his performance as the narrator in a Muppets Christmas Carol he’s a natural leading man.

Rizzo as Puck

Name a more iconic duo than Gonzo and Rizzo the rat? You can’t- of course you fucking can’t. Their chemistry is off the charts, celestial dare I say, platonic soulmates the like of which us mere mortals cannot comprehend. On top of the incredible back and forth they’ll bring to Oberon and Puck, Rizzo has a sense of mischief and is just the right amount of a whimsy can’t do nothing right boy to bring a really endearing vision of Puck to the stage.

Miss Piggy as Titania

Is it controversial to pair up Miss Piggy with someone who’s not her usual leading man? Sure, but bear with me I have a vision. Oberon and Titania are at odds for most of the play and I can definitely see a world in which Miss Piggy beats his ass in front of all the other fairies. Also the role of a glamorous ethereal queen? Are you kidding? Miss Piggy is going to body this role heart and soul.

Kermit as Bottom

Remember when I told you to bear with me? I would never break up a duo like Kermit and his beloved Miss Piggy, are you mad? Bottom and Titania spend the whole play smooching and mucking about with the fairies, not only do these two have the chemistry but it also gives Miss Piggy a chance to serenade her beloved Kermie. The casting also works on a meta level with Kermit playing an over ambitious actor somewhat hemmed in by an eccentric troupe. The only question is with the iconic transformation scene, do we cast a human actor who turns into Kermit, or do we just have regular ole Kermit with some donkey ears? I need the thoughts of the public desperately.

The Mechanicals:

Fozzie Bear as Snug

Waka, waka

Beaker as Francis Flute

Literally his worst nightmare is playing Thisbe.

Pepe the Prawn as Robin Starveling

Just a weird lil guy pretending to be moonlight

Bunsen as Tom Snout

Tom Snouts a tinker- plus he can do Pyramus and Thisbe’s special effects

Scooter as Peter Quince

Typical theatre manager energy.

The Fairies:

The Chickens as Titania’s Attendants

To be honest I can see the Henson company making a lot of cool original puppets for the fairies but you can’t have the muppets without some dancing chickens.

Janice and Animal should also get special cameos as Peaseblossom and Mustardseed respectively and naturally Waldorf and Statler show up to heckle Pyramus and Thisbe at the end.

Disney- make it happen

[creaturefeaturecommando]

I think we should murder all those ungrateful rich white kids who went to Coachella because what do you mean Weird Al, Thundercat, Portugal the Man, Yo Gabba Gabba and PAUL FUCKING WILLIAMS played Rainbow Connection and there was barely any hype ? That quality of entertainment is wasted on those little shits and their trust funds and I want them all crushed into brown stains

been listening to a lot of muppets lately and needed to draw something sweet ‘n silly 🐸 🌈

[sarahmeeps]

My husband CONSPIRED with (commissioned) my best friend (@miladypotaty) to create the best gift I've ever received:

a needle-felted sculpture of Mr. Kermit the Frog singing Rainbow Connection 💚🌈😭

The detail on this little guy is incredible! He's got little individual fingers pickin' that banjo! The banjo's got little metallic thread strings! The bark texture on that log is so delightfully tactile!

I will treasure him forever 💚
