[Occ question] are the sillys based on any villains and if so who? :]
[Ooc answer]
Hey! Yeah, I'll go first (From 🐟 mod, and also the person that does any non-mod tagged asks/posts)
🐟 Waiter is twisted from undertow, the secondary antagonist of 'The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea' - Mainly just to follow the little mermaid theme, and due to my enjoyment of the colours used in his design.
He's supposed to be a third year (he got held back) that goes by the name Ulysses Tide, working at the lounge in hopes of paying off Azul to return him to his true mer-form and get him out of the punishment he was given back in the reef. Along with his transformation into a pihrana mer, the poor guy got substantially shorter, and now stands at.. 5" in his human form. Womp womp
Here's a super quick little doodle of the guy, (if you recognise my art from another blog I run no you don't). The mods here at the mostro lounge offishial blog thank you greatly for your queries and curiosity <3.
AND HI I'M THE GUY BEHINF THE LOBSTER hi hii I'm mod 🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞 hi so I cannot explain my bullshittery but. Evil Sebastian the Crab but he's a lobster instead. Okay so. H.ear me out he's one of the funky split lobsters.
His name is Sylo Mariathic and he hates everything but is also so so cool (he is a loser nerd). He is bisexual and a Second year (Age 17). He hates his job but he works it for one simple reason. Money. Ohhhh boy does he love money. Stands at a whopping 5'9!
I made a sprite thingy of him + my one doodle of his design when I first made it ♡
I don't think it's my first place bias saying that this really is SUCH a creative and unique Eurovision entry. It's something new and so incredibly effective. Everything was pulled off to the complete best degree it could be and it was frankly perfect. SUCH a strong performance of such a strong song. I understand that some people don't like songs unless they have a pop belt vocal but I just think everything about smss is perfect. I genuinely cannot believe it placed bottom 5.
Vote for the Lobster Twinkovič or the lobsters will come for you 🦞🦞🦞

Eat Your Salad:
The audience yelled 'pussy' in live television for fuck's sake!
PUSSY!
Made the entire concert hall shout "pussy" at the top of their lungs with the iconic line "instead of meat, I eat veggies and pussy" <3 snubbed by jury for being too sexual :((
Feminism and environmentalism and PUSSY. I'm really mad they didn't qualify. They deserved to WIN
Thirty-five years ago, DC Comics opened a phone poll to kill Batman's child sidekick, Robin.
The poll was open to paying callers in the U.S. and Canada for a window of 35 hours, starting on 15 September 1988 at 9AM EST. There were two premium-rate phone numbers—one for Robin's survival, and one for Robin's death. Each paying caller could call multiple times. The results were decided by a margin of 72 votes out of a total 10,614 votes—the difference was just under 0.68%.
Now you decide.
KILL ROBIN
Jerry Smith of Covington, Kentucky claims to have sold his Mercedes-Benz to pay for votes to kill Robin

SAVE ROBIN
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), a noted Bat-fan and scholar, denounced the episode as a "Roman gladiator-like readers vote."
"I loved him [...] I personally voted for him to live 100 times, and my mom flipped when she saw the phone bill," says magazine writer Savas Abadsidis.
MJG6 said: I was dead broke, working my way through college, but I voted. My first job was at a comic book store, making me an OG fan girl, I guess, and I encouraged people to vote to save him. [...] Because killing a teen, in a role kids are supposed to identify with, that was just sick.

Kill Robin
Anonymous propaganda IN FAVOR of killing the lobster the Robin!
I love Jason Todd. I love his post-crisis Robin days, I love his sense of justice and his adorable love of learning and his silly curly bangs! I say this to emphasize that I don't want him killed out of any dislike of the character.
I want him dead out of a love for storytelling that gets to stick to its guns and doesn't pull its punches. In context of the poll we readers have just seen Dick Grayson get kicked out of the role due to Bruce's fear of him getting hurt, then he turns around and gets a new Robin anyways because he misses him! I really like that Bruce is being messy and hypocritical! Let that have some real consequences please!
If there were no real consequences then Dick got shoved out of being Robin for what? Hairbrained overprotective worry? Why even change the way he graduated into being Nightwing so much then or heck why even kick him out in the first place?
One might argue that we haven't even given this Robin proper time to develop, that instead he might be taken in new and interesting directions as his own unique Robin shaping the mantle into a legacy rather than just something that was Dick's. I admit this is a very good point, and we are cutting off some possible interesting avenues. As I mentioned, I do like this character! But are we really going to get that?
If DC is already prepared to toss him out of this mortal coil and through the pearly gates after such a short while, do we really think we're going to get much more love and care applied to him?
I say let's roll the dice for something new! May the comics world and all these characters have to deal with the ramifications for many years to come!
Save Robin
robin’s death (and subsequent resurrection) is, frankly, an insult to robin fans of that era. to want to see this child get killed in a brutal manner for no apparent reason, to see jason essentially removed from the narrative so batman could go back to being gritty and depressed—this is awful to me. he hadn’t even been robin for very long!
but that’s not why he should’ve lived.
the resurrection of jason todd as the red hood was narratively interesting enough that it kept most fans of the original jason hooked, and it still does! he has become a prime example of a trauma survivor: his death changed him, and those who loved him have difficulty accepting that.
but there is no resolution to that story, nor was there a resolution to jason’s tenure as robin. dick chose to leave robin behind and take on a new mantle. tim, steph, both had robin taken away from them (and let’s forget about how tim is still robin, because that doesn’t matter right now). damian’s role as robin conflicts with his misconception of his role in the family. everyone else has had an ending, and jason’s death…well. after his resurrection, he has somehow remained stagnant and wildly inconsistent at the same time. this applies to under the red hood too.
at its core, utrh is a deeply classist retelling of jason’s life pre-death in the family. winick makes him a villain—albeit a sympathetic one—who fucks over or kills people that he would’ve thrown himself in front of to save as robin. in utrh, the implication is that jason had always been violent and angry (and morally compromised), and that he was destined to become worse.
it sometimes feels that jason’s transition into being the red hood (and all the characterization that comes with that) was a decision dc made for shock value. just from jason’s robin run, it’s difficult to imagine jason becoming the red hood. it doesn’t feel inevitable. it’s tragic.
ultimately, i believe that jason never should have died, and that his death was a stunt by dc for its shock value. jim starlin wanted jason dead because to him a child sidekick, in a medium that was originally made for children, was “sheer insanity”. he was fridged, plain and simple.

I’m going to be honest here, this has been one of the most random requests that I’ve ever gotten… and I’m so excited I got it! I love this request, it was fun to write. Thank you!
Tate Langdon:
Bro would be confused lmao
“Uh, Y/N?” He would whisper yell, not wanting to get too close to you
Lowkey would think you’re the anti-Christ
I have a feeling this would be at like 8 am in the morning, and he’s just staring at you from the door way like: 🧍
And then you fall back onto the bed and turn over and just wake up
Like nothing happened, and as you get up from bed, passing him, you simply say “good morning, Tate,” giving him a kiss on the cheek
And he’s just there. Like what the fuck just happened
Kit Walker:
Aliens
Get your tin foil hats out bitch, because this Kit Kat isn’t messing around
Would literally scream, running towards you, and jumping on you, startling you when you wake up to a man on top of you yelling
No because I’m imagining this and laughing so hard
And I’m staying at my parents so I can’t fucking laugh
It’s late and I’m wheezing
Kyle Spencer:
Post death
bro lives in a whole Ass house with witches, he’s seen shit and he’s not surprised
Just walks through the door and lays next to your floating figure
And goes to sleep
And when you fall back to the bed, it makes him wake up, and you’re disoriented and confused, and he just turns to looks at you and says “hi, Y/N”
And goes right back to sleep
Why did I get deja vu while writing this? Is this a sign Kyle is going to show up in my room one day?
Jimmy Darling:
Bro would walk the fuck out
🦞🧍🦞 🏃💨
Lobster boy would run as fast as he could
He’d probably go to Ethel before she died, and then to Eve, who would walk in and just throw you over her shoulder and lay you back down on the bed
And walk out to go back to her caravan
And Jimmy is just staring at you the entire night
James Patrick March:
I imagine his reaction to be something like “huh, interesting” and then he takes a sip of his coffee or tea, and turn around to leave
He wouldn’t question it
He kills innocent women brutally, you’re possessed, we all have our quirks
Surprise you get a P4 au since I haven't gotten an ask for that. Apologies, if you were hoping for Yusuke
Anyways. I'm going to talk about my first P4 arcana swap, known as the Lovers Naoto au
The end of this will have a list of the Arcana incase things aren't clear
Kanji Tatsumi has been living with his older brother since his dad died and mom entered assisted living, but when his brother has to go overseas for a year for his job, Kanji is sent to live in their old hometown with an old family friend
Daidara isn't bothered having Kanji around, as long as he doesn't act out. He doesn't mind what he does, though when the kid shows interest in crafting, although with fabric, he's happy to spend the odd night teaching him about the value his labour and love places in his products
He's only a first year, and ends up sitting beside this bored girl with pigtails. When he compliments her nails and asks if she did them herself, well, they click. She's used to just being hit on, and he's happy to have a friend who, gets him. They walk home together, though they pause when they see police tape
Two boys are walking home the same way, one tries to ask Rise out again, and fails. The other apologizes, introduces himself as Yu Narukami, and the other as Yosuke Hanamura. Yu's uncle shooes them all away, and Yosuke mutters about having to go play manager for the night
A few days go by, and a third year dies. Apparently, Saki Konishi worked with Yosuke. Yu gets worried. Kanji's hand goes through a TV, and Rise and Yu watch him try to punch a TV in Junes
They all fall through.
They wander around, find a haunting room, and when they make their way back to the start, a Bear. Teddie let's them leave, and they don't exactly plan to go back
Only, Rise insists they do. They find a glass version of her in there, who talks about how she despises how they look and talk about her. That she wants to run away and be nobody
Kanji defeats a monster, and Rise gets her Persona too. He hugs her tightly, his chair and her crossbow tossed aside for a moment
Yosuke goes missing.
On TV the night before, Kanji sees him. He's dressed like a king almost, talks about how for once, everyone's going to see him and do what he wants!
So they go back into the TV. Yu runs off ahead, and when they catch up with him, his shadow is there, spouting that deep down, Yosuke disgusts him. How he hates the way he talks about their classmates, and how he keeps him around to look Better
Yu admits, after, that it's partially true. But he doesn't fully hate him, cause he's been in love with his best friend for a few years. Kanji and Rise pat his shoulders
They do save Yosuke, who laments not being saved by a beautiful girl. Yu volunteers to carry him home. Neither talk about how Yu interrupted the shadow of his best friend to shout about how he cared how Yosuke felt, he'd willingly give up his nights to help if needed
Things are normal for a little while.
Kanji makes some friends. Naoki Konishi, who skips school sometimes. Yumi Ozawa, who barges into the Home Ec club to demand they help the Drama club with costumes. Yu's cousin Nanako, who loves the dolls he makes. Ai Ebihara, who's lost and doesn't know who she really is. Kou Ichijo, a second year who doesn't understand why reading is so hard. Daisuke Nagase, who wants to be a good leader.
He works at the hospital where his dad died. An old lady talks to him about her life, and a nurse is, weird.
Yu and Yosuke mention a classmate of theirs that they're worried for. Yukiko Amagi was on the news for getting into a fight with some news crew trying to get footage of the "haunted" Amagi Inn.
Yukiko appears on TV. She's, in a white dress. Calls herself the ghost of the Inn, daring any "suitors" to end her grief and arrive for their Wedding
Before she disappeared, they saw her talk to a girl none of them knew. They didn't hear the conversation, but Yukiko yelled at them and they ran
They save her. She tags along for the investigation
Then, Rise shows up to homeroom one morning and freaks out. Her favourite idol group, ROYAL, is taking a break. And her favourite member, Prince, the sole boy, is coming to Inaba
She drags the boys and Yukiko to the bookstore in the shopping district to try to see if they can meet him, and they barely get a moment to chat with a quiet, well mannered Naoto Shirogane. He looks tired, worn down.
The girl that spoke to Yukiko is outside talking to the cops. Chie Satonaka, a young action movie star, who used to live in Inaba. Here to study how the cops handle the case for her next role
Naoto goes missing, appears on TV. He's dressed in the outfits his female counterparts wear on stage, and it's jarring to look at. He invites the viewers to stick around to learn the truth behind their so-called "Prince"
So the gang goes to save him, but they need more clues. His fellow idols appear on day 2, and offer little bits about him. One stays behind, and softly admits that Naoto's been struggling with his appearance and identity for a while. The idol, Knight, begs them to find him
And they do. Shadow Naoto outs him as trans, and once defeated, Naoto shakily tells them about how his break is because a camera was found in the girl's change rooms. His agency holds his transition hostage in his contract. He fears returning to the stage as is
More plot shit happens. You know the drill. Then, Chie tries to talk to them, and Yukiko kinda, blows her off. Tells her this is real to them, not some, role
Chie does an interview. Goes missing. Her shadow is dressed like a kung fu hero, calls herself a fraud
It's revealed the reason she came home was because she met her idol, who called her some nasty names. Said she was making a mockery of martial arts. She remembered being a kid and promising to be Yukiko's knight, and how as kids they wanted to get married one day
The timing was all wrong, and she softly confesses that she knows her idol was right. She's, nothing, really. But, she wants to help them find the killer. So she can actually do something

I feel like Hank's favorite colors is probably mustard yellow, like his uniform or olive green...he'd also be the type to like generally neon colors, but specifically if their paired with black.
When it comes to eating lobsters? Hank's allergic. Not deathly allergic, he just breaks out in hives starting from his throat going down to his chest and it gets annoying for him, so he avoids lobster and shellfish like the plague. But if he could, hed probably find the most scientifically optimal way to get the most meat out of it.
Jordan
Jordan...my meepy...my skrunkle...I haven't talked about my boy enough
But anyway. Jordan's a pretty bland guy tbh. He'd probably like any dull color that wouldn't strain his eyes too much, like black, white, grey etc. Hed also probably like any shade of blue that isnt eye bleedingly bright.
I don't think it's my first place bias saying that this really is SUCH a creative and unique Eurovision entry. It's something new and so incredibly effective.

Fulenn:
It’s such a good and cool and fun song ?? Like, the genre is Celtic electronica which already just sounds super cool as a name, but it’s also just cool. The vibes were immaculate, they were serving that satanic ritual vibe that I know I’m not the only one to like. Also, the song is in Breton which is cool, like, yes, that’s also a part of the country !! The lyrics are about a legend from Brittany !
For the first time in years France brings a song that isn't a ballad and that isn't in French, but in the regional language Breton which is wildly underrated. The song, the act, the vibes, all of it was top five worthy! I will forever be bitter

Yusuke is a darling. All the Phantom Thieves deserved more screentime in the base game. Thankfully Scramble mitigated that a bit. And Fox's outfit? With the sword? Yes.
