New Lokiiiiiiis! Well, one new Loki. Classic Loki. And a very beefy THROG. I think they came out beautifully.

I also recently added Kid Loki and Alligator Loki to my shop. I have them matching beads in case you buy both and want to wear them together.

Aaaaand additionally I’m working on changing over all the Lokis to Czech glass beads. All of the adult human-ish Lokis will have these shimmery green beads from here on out. Agent Loki and President Loki are below. (Sylvie will be rebranded soon.)

Aaaanyway. Shop is here. Enjoy your Lokis. And Throgs.

Just want to thank you for your post about the best muppet to be president, i'm still crying laughing that you worried dr. bunson would be criticized for not having political vision because he doesn't have eyeballs and that kermit is a sociopath. Literally the most random comments ever!

Thank you. That was a surprisingly popular post that inspired quite a bit of debate. Sometimes I do question whether I should be disappointed by the fact that I've been writing about Presidential history on Tumblr for over 15 years now and some of the more popular posts are similar to the one where I debated which Muppet would make the best President. Something tells me that I wouldn't get the same response to a deep-dive on the Ostend Manifesto.

I stand by the fact that Rizzo the Rat would be the best choice. The more I thought about it, it wasn't so much the fact that Dr. Bunsen Honeydew doesn't have eyeballs that suggests he might not be the best President, but the fact that he probably lost his eyes in a laboratory accident, meaning he might not have even be a good scientist.

And I vehemently disagree with all the Miss Piggy truthers. She would be a disaster. If you haven't recognized the fact that she's a toxic presence and seems to be genuinely abusive on every possible level, then I don't know why we're even having this conversation. This is obviously serious business, not a game or a popularity contest.

(Oh, and for those who were supporting Sam the Eagle, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. He is obviously John C. Calhoun, and I shouldn't even need to explain why he's unacceptable.)

Best BFF Brawl: Round 2| Match 16

Propaganda Beneath the Cut

Tiw and Tinn

Get yourself a best friend like Tiw. Not only does he have to endure all of Tinn's whining about his crush for like years as Tinn's only friend, he also is able to hatch several plans that help bring Tinn closer to his crush, helps put together another couple, and scores himself his own boyfriend on top of that, all while being the vice president of the student council (and probably doing most of the work because Tinn is usually busy with his gay little daydreams about his crush). He's kind, empathetic, and is ready to do anything to help Tinn out. Misunderstands a situation where it seems like Tinn's crush is flirting with another guy and immediately is ready to fight on Tinn's behalf. Has literally put up with years of Tinn's dramatic whining about his crush. Is the only character with braincells (except when it comes to his own crush).

Charlotte and Tiana

Realizes that Tiana and Prince Naveen are in love and offers to help break the curse no strings attached even tho all she’s ever wanted was to marry a prince

Could also be Yeet cause of the athletic shit but she's much more like Terry methinks #and Grant/Terry pretty cute but I think that's an especially good context for them #WALTER IS GREG'S (so Paeden's) FROG #the president yeah you know the one #Beatrice is tricky cause I could easily see her as either of the twins #but lowkey also Nick? but I guess she should be one of the oak boys cause well #birds #BUT THEN SEPERATELY LIKE #ah I suppose it would be weird to have some of the kiddads be kids and some be older (?) but nevertheless #I couldn't help but think that (adult) Lark would make a GREAT woodsman #and like he thinks that it's Sparrow's soul in the lantern #AND BEAR'RY WOULD MAKE FOR SUCH A GOOD BEAST #people need to draw him with the branch antlers they do they do #also I can't for the life of me remember the horse's name #but that's so Ron like it has to be #for all I know like none of you have seen this show but this is so real in my head I had to talk about it #otgw #grant wilson #paeden bennetts

even though i will probably never buy any tumbler merch (*hobie brown voice* 'i don't believe in brand loyalty or supporting big companies/corporations'), i must say that they have the best merch of any site. Clay frog earrings? Metal Ea Nasir Mesopotamian Complaint bracelet? Shoelaces? Children's Hospital Colour Theory notebook? Unparalleled.

Other sites' merch is just. One sweatshirt, two cuts of T-shirt, maybe one sweatpants, and perhaps a mug, all only avaliable in two colours (most) and the same boring logo design in either the center or top right corner of all of them. How boring. How uninteresting. How obviously a walking advertisement. There's no personality. Only the sad chains of customer loyalty.

At least if you are bound by the chains of tumblr, you've got something interesting and unique.

“... but even so, he had layers and then more layers, as did any human being. There were intimate versions of your own story you did not give the world. The deeper ones; the strange ones; the ones you yourself drew life from but did not quite fully understand. And that was the problem with the listening gift: it widened the whole channel, and next thing you knew you were waxing on, you were roaming out, you didn’t know what you’d say next or what would crack open.”

What muppet would be the best president?

First of all, this might be the best question I've ever been asked. And I don't just mean on the blog -- I mean, this might be the best question anyone has ever asked me about anything in my life.

It's really a question that deserves extensive research and consideration, but I'm just going to tell you that the first two Muppets that came to mind were Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Rizzo the Rat. I think I'd just feel we'd be in safer hands with either of those two. I mean, Gonzo is a disaster and I'm not 100% sure that Fozzie Bear and George W. Bush aren't the same person anyway.

I'd probably go with Rizzo over Bunsen if I had to choose one Muppet. I always think it's important for a President to have some street smarts and common sense, even more than book smarts or educational credentials. Plus, I hate to seem like I'm discriminating against somebody with a handicap, but Bunsen literally has no eyeballs. Not only is that problematic physically but it would also be an easy target for his political opponents who wanted to attack him for having no vision as a leader.

I know most people would probably pick Kermit the Frog, but I don't think Kermit is a strong leader. I need my President to be able to stand up for himself and the frog has been in a very public, very abusive relationship for damn near 50 years. Someone who can't get their own life under control isn't the type of Muppet who should be the nation's chief executive. When I look into Kermit's eyes, I see some real darkness inside of him. I've just never trusted Kermit the Frog and certainly wouldn't trust him with the nuclear launch codes. Quite frankly, I think Kermit the Frog is a sociopath.

This question obviously deserves a deep dive by political scientists and Presidential scholars, so thank you for asking it.
