I know I’ve seen it somewhere before (most likely here on tumblr) but i AM obsessed with the idea of a muppets version of good omens where the human characters are all played by muppets and aziraphale and crowley are played by humans who are very clearly controlling muppet versions of themselves as their corporations but the muppets only ever directly address the muppet corporations. as far as they can see aziraphale and crowley are also only muppets

moreover I am EXTRA obsessed with the idea that aziraphale and crowley. also keep up the muppeteering when alone with each other. their muppets are their corporations how they interact with the earth and they interact with each other while within these corporations. but when you can literally see their true (human) forms looming over their dinky little flesh (felt) bodies it adds a new level of hilarity

I cant tell which would be funnier: if, when talking to each other, they looked each other dead in the eyes while making their muppets also look at each other, or if they ALSO pretended the other was only a muppet and utterly ignored their true human forms

that being said I think for the drunk scene they should be slugging back actual glasses of wine in one hand and just very sloppily controlling their muppet selves with the other. the muppets have little fake glasses of wine too obvi

with tracy aziraphale just takes over as her muppeteer she just sometimes moves and talks on her own. all the other angels and demons are just humans but when on earth the angels have muppets and the demons have really shitty hand puppets. they just stand there holding the muppets/puppets they dont make them move and act. aziraphale and crowley are thought to be very weird and creepy for doing so with theirs

the horsepersons…. I think they start with muppets only but you can see there’s sticks or wires or whatever controlling their limbs. and them when they start to come into their power suddenly they’re being controlled by a person. and when they go full Horsepersons Of The Apocalypse they’re fully human (in form). except for death. death is identical to tv canon bc he’s the one who hides his true nature the least. and he’s creepier that way

with adam? I think he’s just an uncomfortably human looking muppet. his face is more normally proportioned. his felt is a very human beigey tan. his hands are uncomfortably dextrous like the swedish chef’s. maybe when he comes into his powers he starts looking less and less like a muppet and more and more like a human until it culminates in something dead center in the uncanny valley for both humans and muppets. and then after he tells satan to fuck off he suddenly looks almost perfectly muppet normal with only a twinge of almost-human-y since he still has at least Some powers

in terms of the muppet casting I have no idea who should be whom jdjdbdkd maybe miss piggy for anathema and kermit for newt, mostly bc they’re arguably the main human (adult) characters and it’s funny to me to call a frog “newt”. however this version does not include the all-but-onscreen sex scene okay we do not need to see that. it fades to black just like in the book thank you ❤️

also to be clear all the angels and demons and in particular aziraphale and crowley are all still dressed like in canon. when their wings show up their human true form also has wings. crowley puts on sunglasses on his human self before digging out a tiny pair of muppet sized ones and putting it in his muppet hand to put on his muppet face. yknow. stuff like that

#yes I’m putting way too much thought into something I literally will never do anything with shut up jdbdbdkd #this ordinarily would be shared with my friends or something but my brain has so many worms in it rn and refuses to let me socialize #so instead u get to see my stream of consciousness shitposting directly on ur dash. you’re welcome ❤️ #good omens #muppets #muppet au #the bon speaks #having one human try to accurately control a muppet doesnt Really make logistic sense I know but shhhh #I know with most larger muppets u need two people to control them one with the mouth and one arm and someone else with the other arm but #idk. maybe they can manage to use two of those sticks in one hand kdjdbdk #every dramatic scene just becomes 1000% funnier when u imagine it happening with each of them holding a muppet version of himself #again! I will do nothing with this au! but I must think out every angle for it regardless alas #anyway hope u enjoyed my rambling abt gomens but muppets jdbdvdnd #if u read all the post and all these tags I give u a kees on the forehead (• ε •)

how do u deal with romance repulsion because I just realized I've been romance repulsed ever since I was a kid and now I don't like the feeling of absolute disgust it gives me

like with any other thing that disgusts me irl, I do my best to find ways in which I can limit my exposure to it, and from there, work to determine ways to cope when I am exposed to it.

the what and why:

start by figuring out what specifically repulses you. is it specifically irl romance? fictional romance? certain relationship dynamics, such as the soft uwu couple, the sappy couple, the PDA, etc? can you handle it to a point but then run out of tolerance?

ultimately, try to figure out what contexts bother you and how quickly they do bother you.

additional food for thought: when you are bothered, how much does it bother you?

for the remainder, I’d advise trying to start with the thing that bothers you significantly, quickly, and which you encounter most often. you’ll have to determine your balance of that.

limiting exposure:

consider the social media you consume. how can you avoid specifically what repulses you there?

can you ask for people to tag things on tumblr? for example, kissing is a tag and post content that i have filtered.

can you unfollow blogs that regularly post about things that repulse you?

in terms of other social media, what does that site offer?

consider the other media you consume.

are there certain shows or movies or genres that frequently repulse you? what are ones that don’t? can you choose or request to watch more of the ones that don’t?

consider what you read much in the same fashion.

consider the company you keep.

if someone talks constantly about romance to you and it repulses you, can you talk to them about that? is it possible to say “hey, it feels like all you ever talk to me about lately comes down to romance, and I miss talking about x with you.”

or maybe they do a lot of PDA, “hey, I’m really happy that you and X (and Y etc if polycule) are dating, but I don’t like it when you kiss around me, could you do that in another room or tell me when you’d like to do that stuff so I can go elsewhere?”

if they constantly talk to you about wanting you to date, can you say that they’re making you feel worse in doing so?

if any of these get a negative response or you truly know that they will, do you have the ability to limit your contact with this person / these people?

coping:

okay, you’ve done what you can to limit your exposure to things that you don’t like and hopefully increased time spent with things you do like.

but realistically, you can’t avoid everything

what are the specific feelings you deal with when you are exposed? what do you do about those emotions?

disgust -> can you reframe the situation? are you disgusted by the thought of people doing it to you, and if so, can you say “it’s okay that other people enjoy this, but I know it isn’t for me?” I find that externalizing the problem helps me to feel less repulsed.

angry -> I know that if I’ve had a lot of exposure, I get cranky. I don’t want to see/hear more of this! if that’s you, what do you do? if you’ve got angry energy, is there a non-harmful fidget you can perform? if you’ve got to hold it together, can you sit with that feeling and say “I feel angry right now. When this is done, I will do [a thing that you enjoy] because I don’t enjoy feeling angry.” and focus on the future relief?

other things: reframe, externalize, sit with it, plan how to feel better later, brainstorm about something else that you like, etc.

I hope that at least one part of this can help!
