HAPPY LSOH DAY‼️

[bag-0f-b0nes]

Some of my fav highlights from the Lsoh script (not in order)

Yeah, i too would think "uh oh" when i found out my plant ate blood

The sillies

No caption needed.

Me too bro me too

Twoey does not give a singular fuck (:

🤨🏳️‍🌈

I'll be reblogging with more!

[gangles-toybox]

Learning that lsoh had a cartoon in the early 90s that lasted for a whole 13 episodes is kinda buckwild to me personally. Now, to be fair, it is based on the 1960 film *and* the 1986 film, and I haven't watched the 1960 film, so please any of yall inform me if what I point out is from the 1960 movie or something.

Firstly, why is Audrey Mr. Mushnik's daughter? Idk it just seems weird to me cuz in the 86 film, Seymour is more of a son to Mushnik than anybody. Maybe they didn't want to make it clear that Seymour was an orphan or something by him being around Mr. Mushnik I guess??(even tho they coulda just made Mr. Mushnik his dad but whatevs) and it's even weirder to me they gave him a health nut mom that neglects him?? Like..what..

Also, ok, Seymour & Audrey are 13(even tho their character designs make em look like 8 but whatever it's fine), which I don't mind since usually kids cartoons have child protagonists. But..they didn't make..Orin a child?? They had his equivalent in the show have a son, who serves as a bully to Seymour and like Audrey. I get it *would* be a little..dark..to have Orin as entirely himself because of how much he loves torturing ppl and to show him when his love for Audrey was still not abusive(i assume they wouldnt show it abusive cuz yk kids cartoon and all)..but you could just alter his personality..idk it's weird to make him reproduce!!!

Also, why does Orin's equivalent(Dr. Driller) & his son(Paine Driller) look like a weird ass combo of like somebody drunkenly trying to draw Dilbert? I don't mean this in an entirely bad way, I do like Paine's design, it's just weird to have these..guys I guess next to regular human characters like Seymour and Audrey.

Idk I think it would be funny to watch this eventually tho(psst i heard all the eps are on yt, the show itself is called "Little Shop")

I think the street urchins, Mr. Mushnik, Seymour, and Audrey 2 should make a "I fucking hate Orin Scrivello club".

[greenesmyfavcolor]

Mushnik has probably the most underrated lines in all of Little Shop. He has so many quick and funny one liners that I’ll just list them here:

“So, she finally decides to come to work.”

Audrey: I'll clean it up before any of the customers get here. “That should give you plenty of time.”

“I'm telling you, Audrey, you don't need a date with him, you need major medical.”

Seymour: The Audrey Two is not a healthy girl.“Strictly between us, neither is the Audrey One.”

“A date gives you a corsage, not a multiple fracture."

“So it seems the plot is thickening among my employees."

“Don't you "Mister Daddy" me, Krelborn!”

Do you know this Jewish character?

[sombrathedragon]

Little Shop of Horrors but they're Wings of Fire dragons (Specifically the Arc 3 protags)

[incorrectmusicaltheatre]

Seymour: I wanna be a reverse tooth fairy that robs people and then scatters teeth on their bed. Audrey: A dentist. Mushnik: I don’t know what your dentist is doing to you but I think you need to go to the police.

THIS LITTLE DUDE’S EYEBROWS WALKED

SO THAT HERS COULD RUN

[saltysunflowersugar]

WANNA HEAR THIS BATSHIT INSANE AU I CAME uP WITH A COUPLE DAYS AGO?!!

no? TOO BAD! I recently learned about the existence of THESE motherfuckers and my first thought when I saw them was “HOLY SHIT THEY LOOK LIKE AUDREY 2!” They’re called Predatory Tunicates, here ya go

Also I forgot their name briefly and searched up “Transparent crinoid that looks like a venus fly trap” and discovered that the Venus fly trap anenome exists, so maybe that could also be Twoey, either or this isn’t a complete au. 

ANyways, so a little before that my brain made ANOTHER connection between Little SHop Of Horrors and marine biology was that dolphins will sometimes beat up pufferfish simply to get high off their venom, aND IF THAT ISN’T EXACTLY WHAT ORIN SCRIVELLO WOULD DO AS A MERMAN THEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS!!! (yes, I am aware that Cleaner wrasses also exist, but the difference is that they’re supposed to be good at dentistry and they can’t just go around inflicting pain for funsies because if they do, they’ll get eaten so a dolphin was just more fitting) Also, should Orin be a bottlenose or an Orca? because both of them enjoy tormenting other sea creatures beyond what’s necessary for survival and Orcas are a type of dolphin and the black and white color scheme would be fitting, but I also fon’t know if Orcas can get high off pufferfish venom

Update: research still inconclusive, I’m just gonna say that in this AU where mermaids are real and crinoids make Faustian power bargains, that yes, Orcas can get high off pufferfish venom

With that part out of the way, I guess Seymour should be a pufferfish, and I’m imagining that he just sits there and lets Orin bite him until he ODs on tetrodotoxin instead of nitrous oxide. Alternatively, I could imagine him being a shrimp, would be really funny if somehow a shrimp managed to kill an orca, plus there could be some symbolism or whatever with the size of any given merfolk showing their status, IDK I’m just spitballing.

Mr. Mushnik is gonna be a crab, Because he’s basically already Mr. Krabs, the connection was too obvious.

I actually don’t know what species Audrey would be in this AU, I was maybe thinking Angelfish? 

Somehow, I decided to get Arthur Denton involved here just because I remembered that one Drawfee bit about the Kinky Christmas Carp and I just decided that Arthur is gonna be carp SOLELY as a reference to that

The muses are gonna be human Marine researchers who aren’t getting involved in the drama, but do have cameras set up on the ocean floor and commentate over everything they see in song form

"Audrey, where'd you get that shiner?" "Uh.. shiner?"

Mushnik n Daughter, ev'ryone.

@suddenlysomewherethatsgreen here is the one shot lol

This is my first LSOH fanfic 💀

Seymour is a lot younger, as is Mushnik. Unfortunately, for Mushnik, he must give Seymour the talk. Yayyyyy.

----------------------------------------------

Mr. Mushnik was sitting at his workbench, eating a sandwich for his lunch break. He furrows his brows in displeasure at the taste. He looks down at the sandwich, now realizing he had accidentally used moldy cheese. "What a lousy day. No business and moldy cheese--"

A loud noise could be heard in the other room, along with a crash.

"Krelborn! What was that?!"

Seymour walks into the room, meekly looking down. "I uh... I dropped an old box. It had a naked lady on the cover and she had lumps on her chest."

"Those are called breasts, Seymour," Mr. Mushnik's face went beet red at having to say that. "Uh... You're at the age where you should know that."

"Why do women have breasts?" Seymour asks in curiosity.

"Uh, do you know where babies come from?" Deep inside, Mr. Mushnik was nervous. Would he really have to give the talk?

"No, but I've always wondered!" Seymour's eyes light up with wonder. "Will you tell me, d- Mr. Mushnik!?"

Oh my, Mr. Mushnik thought, how am I going to explain this? How embarrassing. He then put a hand on his face. "I would have told you, but I thought you already knew. Go to the garden, I will be there in a few minutes." He clears his throat awkwardly, internally cringing.

Seymour happily waltzes to the garden, Mr. Mushnik soon following. Mr. Mushnik grabs a few plants, one being a common stink horn and the other being a butterfly pea. He sighed and began to set up his impromptu lesson.

"Ya know how some plants have male and female plants?" Mr. Mushnik began, "Male plants spread their pollen to female plants by the wind. This is a version of sexual reproduction."

"How does this relate to how babies are made, Mr. Mushnik?" Seymour says, tilting his head.

This kid is clueless, Mushnik thinks before saying, "Aye, I'm getting there. People do a form of this act. This is known as sex, intercourse, a swear you are not allowed to say, and many other names." He then adjusted his hair and got the stinkhorn and the butterfly pea. "The penis," he gestures to the stinkhorn, "goes into the vagina," and to the butterfly pea.

"So is that how a baby is made?" Seymour asked.

Mr. Mushnik nodded and sighed. "There is more to it, though. After the penis goes into vagina, after awhile the male will climax. When this happens, a sticky white fluid comes out called sperm. This sperm is comparable to pollen, and fertilizes the eggs."

"Humans lay eggs?!" Seymour shouts.

"No, Krelborn!" Mr. Mushnik let out a sigh, "Eggs are what turn into a baby, which grows into a baby. Unlike plants, though, girls have a uterus, which incubates the baby until it is born. Plants have ovules, which turn into seeds and grow."

Seymour is quiet for a moment and then nods, satisfied with the explanation. "Okay! Thanks dad!"

"Yeah, yeah. Now go sweep, Krelborn," Mr. Mushnik says as Seymour went to do so. Wait, dad? He sees me as his father? He then facepalmed. Oh well.

And that's how babies are made, Seymour!

Realizing that Audrey protesting to Mushnik that he couldn’t shut down the shop wasn’t only because she would lose her job but because Seymour would become homeless 🥺🥺🥺

The Mel Welles Centennial

For a goodly stretch there, when I was about 20 years old, my very favorite movie in all the world was Roger Corman’s original 1960 Little Shop of Horrors (which is one of the many reasons I’ve never had any use for the 1982 musical adaptation). And my favorite actor in the original Little Shop was Mel Welles (Ira W. Meltcher, 1924-2005), who created the role of Gravis Mushnik. This was also my…
