#Staypuff Marshmallow Man

Banned from Sesame Street?

Watch the Sesame Street Episode Banned for Being Too Scary, Featuring The Wizard of Oz’s Wicked Witch of the West (1976)

Alright lots of things from the late 70s and early 80s were scary. I was no match for David Bowie in the Labyrinth, Ghostbusters Stay Puff Marshmallow Man or the animated possessed 'Winnie the Pooh.'

Wonder if they brought this up in 'Blood & Honey?' I'd have to if I were helping out the writers. Come on, I can't be the only one to see Winnie's head not twist along with the rest of his body.

Could you do a ghostbusters au for the five facts game

Oho. I love the original film. Let's see, I had to brush off my knowledge here. ;D Thank you friend!

Venkman opens a portal which takes the Ghostbusters team to Stargate Atlantis. He was just messing around you know, seeing what the streams could actually do. He didn't actually CROSS the streams Egon, so shut up, but he MAY have run them through the city's main power generator just to see how much juice those babies could bring. Turns out---a lot.

Egon naturally jumps right into trying to figure out a way home and because his personality is so focused on time/space/engineering details, he's not offended by Rodney McKay in the least and just sees him as a resource to help him with Atlantean technology. Rodney----after numerous gibes seem to go pinging off of whatever emotional forcefield Egon has going on---decides he likes being very needed and is then doubly insufferable to everyone else. John Shepperd and Peter Venkman discover they can roll their eyes nearly simultaneously.

Ernie is just thrilled to see such an amazing new place and it's a nice break from dealing with Slimer as well as Venkman. He and Doctor Beckett get along famously as the 'normal' ones in each of their respective teams, and Ernie sees this as the vacation he never got to take to the Bahamas---ocean views, cool plant life in the botany lab, and some great sun.

Venkman flirts with anything female on the station and is universally shot down. Undeterred, he makes it his personal mission to try everything weird and alien in the cafeteria while Egon figures things out. C'mon, Egon always figures things out. He'd just be in the way if he had to come and try to help and fine, fine, he's coming, geez, how hard is a little time/space jump.

Ray, having had a negative experience recently with the StayPuff Marshmallow Man, is quite happy to just do as he's told. In this case, Weir figures out that Sheppard [very bored because he's on medical leave from the last mission] is keen to know all about 1980s New York so she ensures that the two of them get to have plenty of time to discuss this and allow Ray to try and recreate various foods and items in their labs. Mostly harmless right? [It turns out the TV dinner from hell was not a good idea and numerous station personnel still have nightmares about the Philly steak creatures.]

"You look like if the Staypuff Marshmallow Man had a daughter! You get banned from all-you-can eat places!! Double doors pinch that fat ass!!! You measure on the Richter scale as a flabulanche!!!!"

She's huffing as she lumbers after her new sweetheart.

"C'mon, stop waddling away and give me a chance! I'll even share my snacks with you! You look like someone that would chug melted chocolate and butter with me for fun!!"

Somehow, her flirting is failing.

Built like the fucking staypuff marshmallow man

Yeah ❤️❤️

[hedgehogzb1]

What would be best? The 90f staypuff marshmallow man or a cute little black cat??!

We did ask passerbys in the hight street to which seemingly the best answer people said was "go away yer looney!!"

Alright this goes for all these submissions because they basically fall under the clarifications. Zuul, Gozer, and the Staypuff Marshmallow Man (who is technically a manifestation of a god) were all submitted.

The submission explanation (from the Gozer one): In the movie they say that they're a God/dess, but the Ghostbusters defeated them with the same tools they use for ghosts...so I'm not sure if they should count or not.

Stay puff explanation: technically not a ghost but serves the same purpose and follows the rules of one

Mun? 3/10 I know you’re basically a cupcake with pink glitter frosting but your writing still leaves me in awe so!! Muse? 2/10 Joel hasn’t seen Thor angry yet & doesn’t know he’s a literal god so for now he’s mostly intimidated by how completely disarming his smile is.

on a scale of 1-10, how intimidating is the mun of this blog? the muse?

The newest addition to my collection at work.

June 5. I always remember I have an Instagram account on June 5th. Every year I am tagged in a number of posts by my mom, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins, and others who are trying in their way to wish me well on the anniversary of the day my dad died. It’s a weird reminder from an app that I hate that I have.

He was dead months before his heart finally stopped. I guess it should mean more to me that it was the last part of him to give out. That thought is a proper memento of what he meant to other people. I knew it too, but my fear of him, of being misunderstood by him, kept me from feeling it. What a terrible thing for life to do. He deserves better from me. And so I offer a few words in an attempt for atonement. 

The BFG. Goliath. Andre. The Jolly Green. Paul Bunyan. The Rock Biter from The Neverending Story. Clifford the Big Red Dog. The Staypuff Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. Jordan and Pippen and Malone and Magic and Bird and all those basketball giants. My childhood was full of giants.

My favorite giant came to my class once. I was in third grade. I was in another new school. Another first day as the new kid. It was like that every year so far. We were always on the move. I was sitting next to my new best friend Josh. Josh had a twin brother named Jeremy. They were the coolest kids in the school, and because I could throw a ball pretty good, they immediately accepted me as one of them. It’s such a proud feeling, being accepted. You feel lucky for it. How does it happen? I don’t remember. I’ve since lost that ability. 

I wasn’t paying attention that morning. I was probably reading a book. It’s what I did anytime the teacher wasn’t talking to the class. I heard a lot of commotion though. Someone had come to the door of the classroom. Josh was tugging at my shirt and asking me if the guy at the door was my dad. I looked up, surprised. Dad never came to school! I was worried I was in trouble, but everyone was so excited. I nodded to Josh, and he yelped out “You’re dad is a giant!” My very own giant had come to bring me the sack lunch that my mom had prepared that morning. I must have left it behind. I was lucky that my giant was so good to me.

My dad had giant hands. They were so big and meaty. I always wondered how they got so big. Strong too. I remember when I was a teen, trying to test my strength against his during handshakes. We would both squeeze as hard as we could. Well, I would anyway. I think he always held back. He used those hands his whole life to make wonderful things. He made puppets for my grandma who was a puppeteer. He made little wood carvings of people or animals to give to my sisters. He used his hands to mold a slain Mercutio when I was stumped on a class project for Romeo and Juliet.

He had a giant laugh. When he giggled, it was like that of a little (giant) girl. You couldn’t hear it and not feel better. I tried. I’d be mad or sad and hear it and I’d want to get annoyed...but I couldn’t. People tell me I laugh like him when I laugh hard. I haven’t been told that for quite some time. 

I remember when my son was a baby. He was inconsolable unless he was on the move - either being bounced around while I was walking, or being swung in his carseat by me. No other swing would work. And no one else had the patience or strength to keep him swinging. Anytime I sat down, even in a rocking chair to keep the movement going, he would immediately begin screaming again. I got really good at being able to lean my head against a wall to swing him. I could almost sleep like that. I think I somehow did a few times. New parents can sleep in the most amazing ways. I remember often dreaming of getting into a huge carseat of my own, to be picked up and swung by some giant. 

I wonder what I would do if I could have a few minutes with my dad again. There’s only one thing that ever seems like the right answer. I wish I could go back to third grade. Back when my dad was a giant to me. I just want to be a little kid held in the arms of my warm and gentle giant.

I still miss you Dad. As much as ever.

This man is an amazing writer who touches on the curious and reels them in with interesting possibilities.

He got me out if a reading slump I couldn't explain when I have a stuffed library at my fingertips.

Raise your hands genX geeks 🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️. Y'all can't tell me that this wouldn't catch your attention.

Think about it, we watched some crazy horrors back then.

If you don't know about this goo, you've got to check it out.

Then after all that, I was scared of the the Staypuff Marshmallow Man.

What the heck was wrong with us? The things that were supposed to make us happy, turn on us in the films.

Nirvana was moved from the experience. Enough to title their album, "Nevermind." Ohh so thoughtful.

Now that I thought about it, I u want to ask people what their inspirations were for their work?

I’ve lost the capacity for rational thought

Mum:(to dog) Stop drooling on the floor! You’ve already been fed.

Me: And yet, she’s still hungry

Mum: (to dog) Your mother is going to slip and fall in that river of slime and kill herself

Me: It’s a Ghostbusters movie

Mum: (still to dog) And your mom will be a ghost and then where will you be?

Me: Honestly, I feel like that will solve a lot of my problems especially if I’m a Ghostbusters ghost.

Mum: With my luck I’d be the Staypuff Marshmallow Man

Me: Either way I know exactly who I’m going to haunt
