Watch. Season. 8. Of. TMS US. I just remembered that it’s my second favorite season (4 will always have my heart though).
One thing I will say is that Season 8 does what Season 9 did, where most Masks are only on the show for one episode because it’s a King/Queen of the Episode sort of system.
Despite that, I can’t begin to tell you how much fun and personality is inside each costume.
Allow me to sum up the 22 characters here in simple terms and with zero context (this is in elimination order and that’s all I’ll say):
Old man attempts being “hip with the youth” and FUCKING SUCCEEDS
Literally a Monty Python cast member (I say this lovingly)
Listens to dad rock while carrying the folding chairs for his band meetings (he’s in a band with some other Masks in my fic)
Cannot make a decision without consulting The Voices
The fog comes in on little cat feet (reference to a poem but it’s also very fitting for this one)
🎶You can’t have one without the others🎶 (to the tune of a near-identical line in the song “Love and Marriage” by Frank Sinatra)
This fucker simply looks evil and I think it’s the Shark Tank in him
Gay boy in samba dancer attire
Paraplegic diva (the costume makes it impossible for her to walk)
The other old man, this one expresses emotions by throwing things
Looks like a cinnamon roll, might beat you up with beat poetry
Paparazzo’s brother (not kidding)
WHAZZUPPPPP personified (take that as you will)
Probably would be best friends with Space Ranger
Will take off his bridal veil before beating you up
Spooky scary stuffed with straw
Cold as ice but in a fun way
Siblings, siblings, siblings, siblings (in my canon)
Fullest heart, richest voice, heaviest luggage
Yeah, watch it, you’ll fall in love with someone for sure
well, when it's worded so marvellously, how can i resist? i guess that makes my watchlist look like this now
- s12 (why do my friends love the quarterfinalists so much? i guess we'll find out)
- s14 (i'm in it for pangolin and creativity in spite of apparent ai slop)
- s9 (where my us journey began! i abandoned you for s13. sorry?)
- s5 (lighthearted, fun vibes. apparently)
- s8 (the ol' Prankster Recommendation)
