I wasn't able to actually look at the sun, but I still got some really cool indirect pictures of the eclipse!

@emrystheblue has been working so hard on our MerMay AU Seaform Stars!!

We fell behind a bit with the art due to illness, so here’s a dump of all the ones we did to catch up!!

Reblogs are appreciated! Please go read the fic!

What year does Little Shop of Horrors take place?

Alright, as you can tell from the title, Imma bout to dissect which exact year LSOH takes place since there’s never been any concrete answer from an official source to my knowledge and lemme tell ya, it’s harder than you think lol

Ok so we know that Audrey II came to earth on September 21st/23rd (21st in the stage version and 23rd in the movie version) during the 1960’s “in an early year of a decade” but they never tell us the exact year.

However we do know that Kennedy was president during the events of the movie as he is mentioned on Seymour’s radio and his presidency lasted from 1961 to 1963.

And in the directors cut (which I consider canon to some extent), Jason and the Argonauts is shown to be playing in a theater during Don’t Feed the Plants and that movie came out in June of 1963 so that must mean LSOH has to take place after that date. So the year has to be 1963 if Kennedy is still president and that movie is playing in theaters.

However Audrey II mentions during Feed Me that Seymour could be on Jack Paar’s radio show and that ran from 1957 to 1962.

So now it can’t be 1963 as Jack Paar would have already ended by then and it can’t be 1962 as Jason wouldn’t have been playing in theaters yet.

However LSOH can still take place in both years. Who’s to say that Audrey II didn’t take over the world until the year 1963? It could have been 1962 when the events of the film started but by the time Audrey II gained enough power to start to destroy NYC, a few months could have passed for it to be 1963. And the film does begin in September which is late into the year so it is plausible.

But here’s when this whole theory really starts to fall apart lol.

Before the shop is renovated, there’s a calendar in the back that’s very hard to read but based on the positioning of the dates, it matches up with the year 1964 as the first day of the month starts on a Tuesday. And it’s shown at the very beginning of the movie so the solar eclipse has to have happened in 1964 which goes against everything else that has been brought up so far. Although the year the calendar says doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the actual year, it’s kind of a long shot to assume that they would have the wrong calendar year hung up.

Also neither the 21st nor the 23rd of September fall on a Thursday in 1964 which is the supposed day of the week the eclipse happened according to the same radio broadcast that mentions JFK.

Also also I looked up what exact month Jack Paar’s radio show ended and it just so happened to end in March of 1962 so LSOH can’t take place in 1962 if it starts in September.

So right now, it may sound like we’ve officially hit a dead end. But the thing is, I’ve mainly been listing off things that show up in the movie which isn’t the original source material. That would be the 1982 stage version. We have to remember that anything in the movie that contradicts what year it takes place in in the stage version is not solid evidence because that’s not what was originally intended. So technically, we only have to go off what the original stage production states if we want to figure out the year.

So in the stage version, it’s still mentioned that it takes place in the 1960’s “in an early year of a decade” and that Jack Paar had a radio show before 1962. The only things the movie brought up were the argonauts, Kennedy, the calendar, and what day of the week the eclipse happened. If you want to go ahead and count anything in the movie as canon evidence as to when LSOH takes place, be my guest but there’s so many things that contradict when it does happens that I’m just going to go off the original stage production.

Because of this, my bet is that the events of LSOH start on September 21st, in between the years 1960 and 1961.

I wish I had more of a solid answer so if anyone has any more evidence that suggests what year it might take place from either the stage or movie version, lmk cause I’ve been thinking on this for way too long 🥲

So I made a drawing based off of a moment in the SAMS episode “Sun vs Eclipse in VRCHAT”, and it took me so long to finish it

but I did indeed finish it (just now)

[peachyfnaf]

im just as hesitant as earth being suddenly thrust into the narrative as everyone else; but the cast has done similar things in the past and then made really good, effective plot twists/developments w the character so.. i do have a little hope. please girl be an (at least SOMEWHAT) good guy, we need more of them

(click for quality!! i. do not believe very much in my character design abilities, but this was fun nevertheless lmao)

meet eclipse!

She is a ghost cat that roams the streets of route 23, with a little bell on her collar foretelling her arrival of non-stop affection and classic cat bullshittery. She loves laser pointers, meowing for affection non-stop, and will occasionally phase through your walls.

Want some more doodles of her? Check under the cut!

Good Eclipse: So you’d be like my brother and creation in this universe?

Blood Moon: Yes.

Good Eclipse: Well, like Lunar, you’re not a disappointment. You two seem very nice and your Eclipse just sucks.

Blood Moon, who hasn’t gotten praise in his lifespan: *crying* Thank youuuuuu.
