Lou Reed // Hop Frog (feat. David Bowie)

Well they call me a juicy hop-frog You can see me in any wood bog Don't you know that they call me the hop-frog Hopping frog I'm a hop-frog A hop-frog They call me the hop-frog Hop, hop-frog They call me the hop-frog See me in any wood bog Don't you know that they call me a hop-frog Hop-frog They call me the hop-frog See me in a wood bog They're calling me a hop-frog Hop-frog You can see me in a ballroom You can see me in a bedroom You can see me in the woods Hop, hop-frog They call me the hop-frog They call you the hop-frog Well they call you the hop-frog Hop, hop-frog Frog

Hop-Frog; Or, the Eight Chained Ourang-Outangs (Edgar Allan Poe) "The titular Hop-Frog gets revenge on the king and his ministers for the mistreatment of his lover by convincing them to dress up as orangutans and freak out their guests. Funny joke! He covers them in pitch and flax to mimic fur, he chains them together, and ushers them into the party. Then he sets them on fucking fire."

Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk) "The way Tyler acts and is very Desolation in my opinion just fights and destroys stuff. Also, the strong theme of capitalism and capitalism also has ties to Desolation."

HOP FROG (1849) (link) - tw: ableism, death

I never knew anyone so keenly alive to a joke as the king was. He seemed to live only for joking. To tell a good story of the joke kind, and to tell it well, was the surest road to his favor.

THE RAVEN (1845) (link)

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

I love how seriously Jon Matteson is taking this role

[capriciouslyterminal]

Calling it now, or manifesting (whatever you want to call it), I want the Jon Matteson frog knight to be mortally wounded in the climax of Cinderella’s Castle (perhaps to save Ella).

As he’s dying his little puppet death and I’m crying Ella tells him he’s a real knight and thanks him for his help, perhaps even declaring her love for him in a very platonic way (or a romantic way) and she gives him a little kiss.

Cue flashing lights and magic sound effects and who puts down the puppet and stands up but human man Jon Matteson who was The Frog Prince the whole time.

Firestarter (Stephen King) "The Department of Scientific Intelligence (aka "The Shop") never anticipated that two participants in their research program would marry and have a child. Charlie McGee inherited pyrokinetic powers from her parents, who had been given a low-grade hallucinogen called "Lot Six" while at college. Now the government is trying to capture young Charlie and harness her powerful firestarting skills as a weapon."
