Silly doodle based off @persephone-s-moon ‘s rat boys au but with the musical Star and David.

I tried to emulate the art style as close as I could, but the clothes were hard!

level 1: the lost boys is gay af

level 2: the lost boys follows a not uncommon horror movie trend where monstrous and villainous characters are associated with alt fashion or other counter-culture signifiers, which may also call to mind an association with queerness as it exists in conflict with cishet cultural norms. this, intentionally or unintentionally, helps to position queerness as an evil threat to the status quo in the minds of viewers. while a lot of queer people end up seeing themselves in these characters in a positive way, its inappropriate to talk about how cool gay vampires are without at least acknowledging the implications of this in relation to the long history of queer-coded villains in film.

level 3: the lost boys is actually all a clever subversion of the aforementioned trope; while on the surface michael is positioned as the classic disaffected youth, child of divorce (this and him being in the care of a single mother helping to introduce the idea that his vampirism ie latent homosexuality starts with this initial failure to uphold conservative family values), falling in with the wrong crowd who corrupt him and creates a rift between him and his family, the twist of the movie reveals that the vampire gang exists under the authority of the head vampire who himself has all the signifiers of the wholesome middle class all-american dad figure. this recontextualizes the queer-coding of the vampires from a gang of wild subversives to a group of kids who, like michael, were most likely struggling with some sort of instability in their home lives and were groomed into vampirehood by their sire, the symbol of the father they perhaps lacked. the precious but fragile unity that exists among these outsiders cannot survive, not because a more normative family structure has some special thing they lack, but because they are chasing an idea of family that despite their counter-cultural leanings hasnt been meaningfully disentangled from patriarchy, as embodied by their literal patriarch.

level 4: the lost boys is gay affffff

Why did I immediately think of that one Lost Rats doodle @persephone-s-moon did. The "I'm calling your man" one

[persephone-s-moon]

A classic

You could do frog brothers from the bad sequel movies where they are adults lol

LMAO I never watched the sequels I'm ngl, I never want to be forced to take my silly sons seriously

[persephone-s-moon]

Btw the only reason I'm not putting Sam and the Frog Brothers on my tomodachi island is bc you can't really designate conversation topics as "adult" and I don't want them to be discussing "throwing it in a circle" with anyone ever, otherwise I would totally make them

It’s Lost Boys summer

I impulse bought tomodachi life, so now I'm actually putting the switch my brother got me to good use

Here's my interpretation of the lost boys! I try to see how far I can get without using face paint, but the earrings obviously require it (and I gave up with Marko's hair)

Also sorry for the low quality, idk how to take screenshots on the switch/how to transfer them so you're getting photos of my screen

Hi! I know your rat boys au is pretty old and I know you don’t want to draw rat Micheal, but would it be chill if someone else drew rat Micheal?

Sorry to bother. I’m not sure how far into beating a dead horse this ask goes.

You're totally fine! And I don't mind if other people draw rat Michael, so feel free! :)

I mostly just didn't like being harassed to do it 😭 plus I had my own ideas for the au, and I wanted him as a human for it

Anyone is totally welcome to draw tlb as rats on their own! I'd love to be tagged either in the post or the replies so I can see it :) I do miss the rat boys, it just felt like homework at a certain point and I wasn't having as much fun with it, so I'm all for people making their own versions of the au!

Medical professionals love me for my blue hair.. often less thrilled about the pronouns

[persephone-s-moon]

Oooooo insurance companies HATE me for my blue hair and pronouns

🦇🦇 ANNOUNCEMENT 🦇🦇

🩸I’m Veryyyyyy excited to announce that I’ve worked on a new version of the Lost Boys plushes..! They’re available for PRE-order now— for $17 each and $60 for all four of them (before shipping) ^^!

🩸They’re ~10 centimeters each (compared to the previous ~20cm); which makes them more compact and good for nuigurumi clothing, itabags, and general oshikatsu-type photo-ops/escapades ^^ Also, they have little loops on their heads so you can turn them into keychains hehe

🩸This was made possible through opening a store with Starrtoy ^^! Rather than myself, they will be in charge of the order fulfillment/shipping. Therefore, please refer to their website or contact them for any concerns, as it will be out of my hands..!

🦇💨 Pre-Orders are going to be from today, April 23rd until July 31st!!! 😋 Again: 4/23/26 - 7/31/26 is the Pre-order period ^^!

As mentioned, these are PRE-orders, so these will take some time to finally ship, as the production time takes around 2 months, and that will start after the pre-order period ends on July 31. So please note that you won’t be receiving them immediately and that it will take some time for them to be manufactured and shipped out.

[Pre-order]The Lost Boys 10cm Plush Dolls

presale period: April 23 - July 31 price: $17 USD per doll ; $60 USD for all four dolls creator's ig:@otonokis [Notes]：There will be 2 month
