First Frosty, now Kermit. I hear Papa Smurf hired a close protection team and is keeping away from windows...
Heh, the dark and gritty muppets idea actually works pretty good. It's kind of like those behind the laughter things where clowns are supposed to be crying on the inside. Miss Piggy's always a figure of fun, the whole point of course, but then you have something about this that asks people to consider just what they're laughing at.
I bet she'll be beating some other guy before long.

Speaking as a long time Miss Piggy fan (20 years and counting!) this was one of the only fics I've read on AFF that actually was funny enough to make me laugh, not just chuckle on the inside, but out of control laughter. Especially the second paragraph, that just totally got me. Very original idea, and you also get props for pulling it off in under 100 words!

Oh, no! Kermit! Oh, Miss Piggy, what have you done?
Very creative use of the prompt, and I'm going to have the image of Piggy with green hair in my head for some time! :D

You fuss at SK for his use of the prompt and you do this? He had an evergreen branch in there at least with the pine :P I do have to admit, I was a bit concerned when I saw Muppet, but it was well done. Now I'm trying to imagine Miss piggy with green hair LOL!

Snorts, "It's not easy being green!" Poor Kermie. Poor Piggy. Very funny!

NOOOOOOOOO! No, not poor Kermit! Curse you author! Curse you to bits!
But seriously, I think this was actually both dramatic and hilarious at once. Your take on evergreen was deliciously original, to start with, and then you just manage to deconstruct one of the show's most basic premises (that abuse is funny) and show us what would happen if it was applied realistically. I have to applaud you for handling things so terrifically whilst still maintaining a sense of underlying hilarity that makes you chuckle for a good long while even after you're done reading (I swear, I got the most hilarious image of her driving a car and going "KYAAAAH" as she pumped the gas pedal). And it's just a drabble, so you get bonus points for that, too. Very nicely done.
I would critique only the very first sentence, which sounds forced and slightly confusing, but it's really a mere matter of cleaning it up a bit for clarity.
