Overall it was very good, well paced, great visuals and editing. I learned a lot about Jim Henson and the company that I didn’t before and more behind the scenes that I hadn’t seen/heard which is always a treat!
I cried three times. 🫣👌 I had to fight the primal urge to pause the documentary and point out to my family where and what movie/show/episode every clip was from. This was my “did you know Viggo Mortensen actually broke his toe” scene.
I will say, I do think they very QUICKLY went over the disney merger and didn’t even mention the fallout with Disney after Jim’s death.

The main problem I had was that SOME puppeteers got spot lights, interviews or arrows pointing out the individuals. And while I appreciate that these individuals got some recognition (which they 100% should), I think the documentary should have been consistent and do this with every new important/fundamental puppeteer to the film.
I alreay have!!! I was able to EASILY point out Karen Prell, Louise Gold, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Kevin Clash, Steve whitmire, etc. But an average viewer wouldn’t know who is who and what they contributed to the company!
I just think it’s intriguing who they chose to highlight and who they left out.
And I’ve noticed this happen in other muppet documentaries, like “Street Gang,” where they barely glossed over Richard Hunt and Jerry Nelson’s contributions to the show. (I’ve mentioned this problem here before. (Queer erasure during pride month? 🙄))
It would be such an easy problem to fix! Just a quick arrow to point out any new puppeteer or cast member to the Jim Henson Company. Maybe list their job/their characters so a main stream audience could identify them.
I can think of several founding members who are still alive today that were not interviewed. Maybe these people were asked to come in, IDK, but I would have loved to hear from more people you don’t hear from often.
I could definitely tell the documentary was really trying to avoid the “Steve Whitmire” sized elephant in the room, even though he was in SO MANY shots. I can guarantee that if he was still with the company he would have been featured heavily in the documentary.

One last thing…
They interviewed Michael Frith, where was my girl Kathryn Mullen?? (His wife.) She hasn’t done anything in over a decade, are you okay?? Blink if you need help. 👁️👄👁️😐😑😐😑

I know Asexual Awareness week ended last week, but I needed to do last minute edits before I wanted to post this!
My main idea is to list what Asexuals can do! When most people think of aces they think of what we can’t do, which makes sense, the label literally means no-sex.
This was posted in the news paper I work with.... but there was a grammar mistake. And no one caught it because they pushed it to be printed so fast! Instead of saying “...Are part of the LGBTQIA.” It was printed as “are APART of the LGBTQIA.” Which means exactly the opposite from I meant! I didn’t even notice it till it had been in the paper for 2 days and my friend pointed it out! And goodness I was mortified! But now I just thinks its pretty funny!
Here are the drawings on a larger scale! I hope you enjoy!
ASEXUALS....
I actually snuck in a drawing of my boyfriend and I!
I love the fact that Cas fell in love with Dean.
Now you might be thinking, “Well duh.”
But hear me out!
What fell in love with Dean wasn’t an Angel who looks like a man, No. That’s just Cas puppeteering a dead man’s body so he can walk on earth. (Which is a whole other issue and a topic for another day.)
What fell for Dean (a mortal human) is a GIANT, thousand eyed, golden ringed, ancient, flame covered, multi winged, Chrysler building sized (1,048 feet (319.5 meters)), probably multi headed, look at it your eyes will burn out, Angel of the Lord.
That is my new favorite SPN thing. (I have been looking at drawings of Cas' true form ALL DAY and I can't get enough! *Cries*)
Happy birthday Miss Piggy 🎂🎉
June 14th 2022 will be Miss Piggy's 48th birthday!
*Angry Miss Piggy noises*
I mean-- 32nd birthday!
Happy birthday to my favorite Diva Queen!

I originally made this meme format for myself when I had a panic Attack a few weeks ago, breaking my record of 258 days with no panic attack and I was so sad!
Here’s something I did a while ago! I’ve just been too nervous to post it.
This is what I imagine Gonzo and Camilla would look like as people.
I honestly loved their dynamic and story so I wanted to draw them.
(I actually do have a few other drawings of this pair!)
To answer your question now commenters: Why are they Caucasian?
That’s a simple answer, I based this off their puppeteers. Dave Goelz and Jerry Nelson.
But for Gonzo I couldn’t pick if I wanted to make him purplish-blue like the puppet or give him a natural skin color. So I decided to do one of each. You can pick which version you like more.
It's like looking in a mirror.
This could also be reversed, Jackson can be pretty problematic too.
Monster High X Avengers (Marvel) AU
Frankie Stein = Thor (because of the electricity/lightning)
Cleo DeNile = Tony (Iron Man)
Ghoulia Yelps = The Vision/Pepper Pots (because he used to be Iron man's AI Jarvis. And pepper because Cleo can't get by without Ghoulia)
CA Cupid = Hawkeye (Bow and arrow)
Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde = Bruce/Hulk OR Moon-knight (I can't decide between the two!) Maybe Mystique?
Abbey Bominable = She- Hulk (or regular Hulk depends who JJ/HH is)
Deuce = Cyclops or War machine/Happy (so he can be closer to Cleo)
Toralei Stripe = Loki (mischief, plus she and Frankie have already been siblings in Scarily ever after)
Robecca Steam = Nebula (alternatively, The Vision)
Venus McFlytrap = Groot
Rochelle = Gamora/Mantis? OR Emma Frost (because she can turn herself Diamonds)
Spectra Vondergeist = Kitty Pryde (wall phasing)
Scarah Screams = Jean Grey (or any kind reader)
Wydowna Spider = Spider-man? (Maybe too obvious)
Heath burns = The Human Torch
Manny = The Thing
Invisi Billy = The Invisible Woman
...
(Let me know if this has been done before!)
Stage fright:
Clawd 110% knew what he was doing 😈
"Yeah... Not as if I like her..." Hon, you ain't fooling nobody. We all know you got it bad for Frankie💚 🤭
They are both too polite for their own good 🥺🥺
Part 2 here
Hey I'm Podado-T! She/her Asexual! I'm just going to post all my random memes and hyper fixations here cause I want to get it out there! (Which right now I'm in a Major DC Comics brain rot🧠!) 110% SFW! Thank you! My art account: @podado-t-art
