Mr. “Bond. James Bond.” absolutely puts his face and his entire Christian name in his Grindr profile, this is not even a question.

Meanwhile Q “pseudonym and a torso pic only, the way god intended” stumbles on the profile and immediately dedicates time and resources to figuring out if this is someone using Bond’s identity to catfish or if something more nefarious is going on, but no, it’s just James “five national security violations in a trench coat” Herbert Bond doing his thang.

Like to charge, reblog to cast?

The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.

I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:

We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.

Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?

It ain’t Kermit

But who is the single human cast member in this tale? Who gets to put in an Oscar-worthy performance alongside the Muppets and what role are they to play?

[muffinflarp69]

There’s no single human, everyone is a Muppet except for one scene. Circe, played by Janice, turns Odysseus’s crew into humans who still behave animalistic and are all played by Academy Award winning actors.

Scavenger Hunt #32 - Create an "incorrect quotes" post. (Take a set of dialogue from another piece of media and assign it to Bond characters.)

I took a different take on this - the quote comes from Commander Reid Wiseman during this past spring's Artemis II mission.

so for nanowrimo this year i decided to not write a novel but instead write a screenplay for my dream project, A MUPPET ODYSSEY, which is homer’s odyssey but it’s muppets, a la muppet christmas carol. i didn’t finish it :( but here’s some of it.

that’s from the teaser. this is the first scene:

odysseus makes it to the castle in phaeacia:

thanks for reading a muppet odyssey. if you enjoyed please hit that subscribe button and petition disney to let me write a muppet odyssey

[corviiids]

thank you everyone for your kind response to a muppet odyssey. if i can muster the energy i’d love to finish it and pop a full script online for your viewing pleasure. alternatively, if anyone on tumblr works for the muppets studio please reach out to my agent (it’s just me in a hat).

some choice tags:

@yourfaveisamuppet​ you are a fucking genius.

@pyrite​ i did ultimately end up casting miss piggy as circe! i and some folks on twitter toyed with the idea of all the men on circe’s island being muppet pigs originally who she then turned into human people as punishment.

[corviiids]

 some more choice tags

@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.

I'm in love with my car: MI6 gang headcanons

Bond is the renowned petrol head, but what about the rest of the gang?

Q's (sort of) classic black Porsche 911 - beautiful and discreetly modded with a range of upgrades and defensive measures. Q may have dipped into the police's system to ensure he'll never get a speeding ticket. People think Q can't drive and that the car is Bond's. The latter annoys Q deeply. (I'm not immune to car hater Q, I think both extremes are funny, but this is the car I gave him in Let Me Count the Ways)

Moneypenny's red Mazda MX-5 - small, sporty and speedy. It only has two seats, which isn't a downside when no one wants a lift from her. Actually a very safe driver, thank you very much, not that she minds the reputation. May have a Q Branch upgrade or two

Tanner's bright orange Dacia Sandero - plenty of room for carting everything needed for family camping holidays. His girls chose the colour (see girl dad Tanner headcanon). No Q Branch upgrades. Doesn't mind the double-ohs taking the mick, but sometimes he does miss the days of his nippy Golf GTI and carefree youth

Mallory's seafrost green Jaguar XJ6 - misses the days of not being chauffeured by someone with tactical driving expertise, necessary both for his security and to keep on top of his workload from the back seat. Rarely manages to sneak off in his own old Jag, but sometimes he just goes to sit in the garage with the radio on to have a minute to himself. Nearly had an aneurysm once when he opened the garage to find Bond in the driver's seat

also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say “Oh, my God, what is that thing?”  and then scream and cut out his mic.
