NO NOT AGAIN DAWGG😟😟😟😟

Additional billy + audrey 2 interaction doodle !

It is LSOH Day once again >:-)

okay i was just about to get in the shower when i was thinking about how exactly twoey’s physiology would work. so i started thinking “well, it’s gotta have some sort of tougher outer layer of ‘skin’ almost like an exoskeleton…but it also has teeth too??” and then i was stumped. like yeah, it’s an alien…but then it struck me:

what if twoey wasn’t a plant at all? like whole ass flesh and bone plant-looking monster? that to me sounds like a very terrifying concept! but all of that aside, i do still want to collaborate on twoey’s anatomy as an actual chlorophyll-haver.

i’m genuinely curious: how do you think twoey anatomically works? i get that her design kinda doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when you think about it, but damnit! i still wanna try!

so yknow, if the botanists of tumblr wanna collab with the lsoh fandom then…by all means…

i will never look at the words ‘plant’ and ‘dentist’ the same ever again

Little shop of horrors Fandom please intract with me I wanna follow you and talk about little shop of horrors and surround myself with only little shop of horrors to feed my borderline unhealthy obsession.

I NEED you to ask my little shop of horrors questions, discuss little shop of horrors,tell me about your fun facts, literally anything I just need to talk about little shop of horrors.

Its like my only personality trait and I've been loving the people on here who've been talking about it with me.

So long story short if you are a little shop of horrors PLEASE intract.

The bass riff to Suppertime is friggin sick, if you don't think so, turn on your location, I wanna fight.

The dynamic between Seymour and Audrey II

Since I’m ALWAYS thinking about musicals, especially horror-comedy ones, I was thinking about how Seymour interacts with Twoey and came up with something interesting I wanted to share!

So, the plot hinges on Seymour being bullied/persuaded by Audrey II to do its bidding. This got me thinking about how something as simple as who voices the plant could affect the relationship between the two.

The role is, of course, traditionally male. Seeing as the only vaguely parental figure Seymour ever had was Mushnik, who constantly berated and verbally abused him, it makes sense that Seymour would feel inclined to obey the giant baritone monster plant barking orders at him. 

With Twoey having a male voice, Seymour likely operates in a place of fear and submission, feeling like he has to obey because that’s what he’s always done with the authority in his life. He convinces himself he deserves Mushnik’s abuse, and carries that attitude on to Twoey. 

But masculine-sounding Audrey II is not what I wanted to focus on today.

I don’t know if you guys have seen any bootlegs of productions where Twoey was voiced by a woman, but hot damn are those ladies amazing. I brought this up to my drama teacher recently and she questioned how the would affect the dynamic between Twoey and Seymour.

So here’s what I think:

I believe it would be easier for it to manipulate Seymour if it had a more feminine voice. As I mentioned before, Seymour had no parents, and his only caretaker was Mushnik (a man) who contributed a great deal to Seymour’s inferiority complex and fearful nature.

So imagine, if you will, Seymour taking care of this plant, nurturing it in a way he never was. When it speaks to him for the first time, with the voice of an adult, human woman, imagine how this boy would react? This boy who grew up with no parents, riddled with fear and guilt towards the only guardian he has, suddenly having some sort of female authority in his life, promising him everything he wants? Of course he’s going to listen!

With a masculine voice, Twoey taps into Seymour’s fear of letting people down. I think a feminine voice would prey on his eagerness to please. They stem from the same place, of course, but the subtle differences are what I feel define the possible dynamics between Seymour and Audrey II.

Neither is better or worse, they’re just different. They’re differences the audience would pick up on, even subconsciously, and I think it’s a fun dynamic to analyze. 

TLDR; Masculine Twoey manipulates Seymour’s daddy issues, Feminine Twoey manipulates his mommy issues.
