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

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."
The Little Match-Girl (Hans Christian Andersen)
"The story of a match-seller who lights her own matches to keep warm in the icy cold -- and in her matches sees images of warmth and plenty that she can never attain, that make the cold of winter all the more bitter." Link

Pre-tournament: Edgar Allen Poe Brackets
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.

Mr Poe, when did an orangutan hurt you? Inquiring minds want to know.

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.
