It's a bit of a confusing question, so I'll elaborate. Outside of the singing and designs, it really tickles my fancy when a celeb goes out of their way to give their masks more personality or... well, character by doing random stuff. Often quite silly, I guess?

So I'd like to know if there are any moments of a celebrity giving their mask more character that stick with you folk? Be it for comedy, more serious moments, or whatnot. Some of my personal favourite examples being these, if it helps:

- Yorkie's fangirling during her post-performance clues in S13's Boy Band Night

- Mantis' comment after a certain event in S9 ("It's not just because of the wardrobe, right?")

- MadSci (aka msm) opening a phone call with "Y'ello?"

- The plethora of little noises that Goo keeps making. The guy's giggly, what else can be said?

- Macaw randomly running around after his first performance, which I found funnier than it should be

We've reached the end of this little saga, huh? At the very least, don't consider this the end of things by any means. I'm still here to hang around, be creative and generally be as cool as my creativity allows. Very swell.

Anyway, let's get into my personal, overall favourite group of S13 - Four Lunatics and a Cherry Blossom.

Barking and Blocking the Haters (Yorkie)

- Despite her savvy and fashion-forward ways, she holds her heart close to her chest due to her dad abruptly leaving her and her mom in the past. In the present day, Yorkie is a lot more lost than she'd like to admit... no real job or anything. She promises that she's got things covered, though.

- An avid social media user... and a bit of a chronically online one at that. She's quite content to stir up drama with people whether she likes them or not, in all honesty! If you ever ask her way, she'll just say "Gal's gotta keep herself entertained."

- However, her chronically online self is also VERY adept with organising hangouts for her fellow Group C members. Knows all the best spots and times to venture out, as well as little tips for making the most of your time. It's something she's incredibly proud of.

Good Ol' Studsy (S. Muffin)

- An aspiring boxer who was (metaphorically) eaten alive by a nasty defeat in the past, causing him to shy away from the career overall out of shame. He since ended up embracing his quieter passion for baking instead, which he claims is far safer than heading back to the past.

- Has quite poor fine motor skills, although he never enjoys bringing it up to anyone. Although Stud has come to work with these skills so that his baking career isn't at risk, it's generally a big disturbance in his daily life that he can't help but scoff at in anger. (I somehow got this from one of his hands / arms falling off, as seen in his initial clue package)

- Has a surprisingly sentimental attachment to boy bands, due to him receiving a birthday message from one the year after he officially quit boxing. He was a lot more excited than anyone could have ever anticipated to help the others put on a perfect performance for the... 47 seconds it lasted in Boy Band Night. He makes a very good coach.

This is Nuts. I Can't Believe Scotland is Real. (Nessy)

- Originally born in Scotland, but moved to America with his dad a year after he was born. While initially a bit unsure about what to do in life, he ended up becoming enamoured with the idea of spreading love after watching his dad fall in love with somebody new (As his birth mom left his dad shortly before they moved to America). So, with that, his heart was set on it!

- Initially Group C's moral compass before their energy "made him lose his mind too". Seriously. This guy is somehow so on the straight and narrow that he initially considered TMS to be "far too raucous" and his fellow group finalists to be "lost causes"! Nessy has no idea why this is, but he's since warmed up to everything.

- Quite the culinary professional... but strictly when he's camping. He isn't AWFUL at it at home, mind. Totally capable of doing things, but you put him in a camping scenario and he will make the best food you've eaten in your life. You have not lived until you've had this guy make you burgers, or so Group C and the rest of the Lucky Six say.

Oh, You're Cute! Why Didn't I Know You Existed Until- Ah. THAT'S Why. (Cherry Blossom)

- A bit of a genetic anomaly, being a permanently blooming cherry blossom as opposed to one that only blooms once. This realisation riddled CB with intense anxiety to face the world, until an old friend of hers (a normally blooming cherry blossom) motivated her to get out in the world regardless. Although her friend has since passed, Cherry Blossom holds her motivation close.

- The "sane one" out of Group C, but only because of her anxiety being a constant. The others have about a 80/20 percent rate of keeping her anxiety in mind before they try dragging her into things, though. CB appreciates them for thinking MOST of the time, though.

- She takes care of quite a nice pond near her house, as she ended up inheriting it from her grandmother when she passed away. Very attached to the few koi that live there, who CB now nicknames Banana, Ribbon, Scale and Neon respectively. I wonder why.

DARK HORSE FAVOURITE FOR ME LIKE. SIR. WHY DID YOUR CELEB MAKE YOU SO FUN SOMEHOW (MadSci)

- While initially having the potential to be an athletic prodigy in his teenage years, he also wound up displaying great scientific intellect at the same time. MSM was initially paralysed by having to choose between his two passions, but eventually walked down the road of science with a heavy heart. He still quietly grieves his lost athletics career to this day, actually. (That said, he can still punch your lights out in a heartbeat.)

- His "calmly insane" demeanour is more of a mask used to bury his issues with loneliness. Look, if this man outright uses the word "intoxicating" to refer to being welcome again after re-introducing himself to the world, then he has ISSUES issues. As physically affectionate and relaxed as he is, don't even think of hugging him back unless you want to see him burst into tears.

- A little too insecure over his own fur. See, he wasn't ALWAYS just "Mad Scientist", monster-wise. Of all the things his real name is? FRAZZELDY (For his fur being so out of control as a kid). MSM takes shockingly excellent care of it these days (the best quality shampoo / conditioner he can find), with fixing his fur up being his first priority whenever he wakes up these days. (mainly from random naps in equally weird places. Look at him, he's an insomniac for sure) If anyone so much as starts vaguely commenting on his fur, he just goes "WhoOOOAKAY. LET'S NOT."

I understand that this may be a little lazy to ask, but I suppose it's better to ask a silly question for the sake of asking.

So, I'm really vibing with MugeMew, as I shall be calling them. It's just that Progress Sign, their first album... confuses me, for a lack of a better word? I actually struggle with differentiating when a song on a previous album is lumped into a new album, regardless of what reason they have for it. Reading comprehension issue, maybe? Either way, I just get a bit antsy about adding a song that isn't new at all onto a playlist that has everything individually tied together.

Saying that, would anybody happen to know all the PURELY NEW songs on Progress Sign? I have tried looking at the "All Songs Playlist" they have on Spotify as well, for context, but they just have most previous songs listed as their Progress Sign release, which makes things more complex to me. Thank you in advance if you can help!

The plan today was to keep watching S12 since my house was going to be quiet, but a noisy construction thing had to crop up next door instead. Slight shame, but cannot be helped. So... part two of this before I forget!

To Say I Wasn't Ready For You Was an Understatement (Boogie)

- An earnestly positive and upbeat guy who initially wanted to work with children's entertainment like his parents, but shifted gears to music later down the line when he realised how far his positivity and hope was spreading overall.

- Very physically adept, but has a soft spot for more upbeat activities. Think rollerblading or paintball in particular! Yes, he's super upbeat and friendly but he also gets VERY competitive... all while keeping that stupid smile on his face.

- Very protective over his physical belongings, even if he himself doesn't quite understand why. It's fine if he has a digital copy of it somehow, but if it's solely physical? Defended with his life.

Unhinged Interplanetary Icon (Space Ranger)

- True to his word, he used to be a freelance cowboy of sorts who patrolled space to uphold justice. He just happened to crash near TMS' studios near the start of S13 after his ship malfunctioned, with him trying to fix it between shows.

- Doesn't understand a lot of Earth culture... like, at all. Granted, he has a habit of rolling his sleeves up and brute-forcing his way into understanding (even if his initial views are very confusing), but the one thing he could never crack without help? A... vending machine. Don't ask.

- Generally very spontaneous, having a rapid trigger-finger and all. He'll throw himself into anything for any reason you can think of. Upholding justice? Just because he's bored? You can guess any reason, honestly... Who knows if you're right, knowing SR.

I'm going to refrain from making anything about Griffin, mainly because I'm sorta confused. Me being neurodivergent, I'm unsure if it's socially frowned upon to make continued content of a mask with a dead celebrity behind them. Better safe than sorry and all that, I suppose? But apologies regardless.

Nocturnal Screeching, Actually Good Maverick (Bat)

- Once regarded for her big, bad "queen bee" status back in high school. A reputation that, while Bat was able to grow past it and become a better person, just about everyone else just kept referring to her by... lunatics. She's pretty sick of her constant villainisation by everyone else (excluding the S13 crew).

- Has a small obsession with golden things, even though she tends to struggle to tell the difference between gold and yellow overall. Would definitely, albeit accidentally buy fake 'gold' jewellery.

- She's surprisingly very graceful and elegant in spite of her strange reputation. This is a lady who got ballet classes as a kid whether anyone learns about it or not.

A Deep-Sea Majesty (Pearl)

- Originally from an unstable home life that caused her to grow overly stoic, she ended up fleeing at an early age to break out of her shell, fight fate and discover happiness for herself.

- Far more casual than anyone else every anticipates her to be (due to how regally she presents herself). Though she worries somewhat about how she presents herself, just get her a basic-enough hoodie and she'll be more than happy.

- Has a lot of contrasting interests. She's a rocker through and through, but also has a huge soft spot for ice cream. You get the idea, right? A mix of "tough" and "soft" interests all mixed into one girl.

I think I said before that I was gonna try posting more direct headcanons for the guys I got fixated on, soo here's that! The HCs solely apply for the mask + their character, not the celeb in 'em. (And me splitting this into three parts seemed fair.)

All good? Then let's roll!

(Group B will come when they come.)

Blue and Yellow Lunatic (Honeypot)

- A former gameshow host in his prime, but now just works as a hairdresser instead. He's still weirdly salty about not being in his prime anymore

- Texts like an old man with zero shame in it. "Wow! Very funny ! 😂😂"

- Ironically has bad hayfever. He sneezes a LOT when his bee chums hang out and it always ticks him off

Gingham-Clad Expectation Crusher (Ant)

- After suffering in silence for as long as she did back in the past, her modern day is spent helping to make others feel seen and not alone

- Unsurprisingly, highly energetic. She'd rather just run around in circles outside and scream to calm down as opposed to deep breaths

- Tends to struggle with relaxing. She always wants to make sure others feel safe and heard, but rarely finds time to keep an eye on herself

I Didn't Know You Being Italian Was a Canon Thing ('Razzo)

- A formerly lost, spotlight-hungry child actor, up until he was taught kindness and how to help others see their "unseen shines" - an act he devotes himself to to this day

- Always a little too nosy for his own good and a sucker for some hot gossip. The type of guy to be whispered a secret, only to immediately shout it out in shock

- Tends to get sleepy extremely, even COMICALLY easily. Like, convince him to lay down somewhere vaguely cozy for a second and he's somehow already half-asleep. He hates it.

Should I Be Cancelled For Not Being Able to Tell He Was Latin Initially? (F. Peas)

- Trying to live on the spirit of his late mother, a stage actor, by competing in TMS. His more upbeat and lively side is inherited from her

- Genuinely believes in magic regardless of what anyone tells him. "Let people have a little whimsy!", he says.

- Considers himself the villain of S13, but a very casual, goofy sort of villain. Moustache twirling and evil laughs, right? He thought it would be fun rather than it being all buddy-buddy.

Hello. I Am Under the Water (Coral)

- Undoubtedly persistent in her dreams to take on a glamorous spotlight regardless of anyone's opinions. Headstrong and bold, if a little shy at first

- Actually prefers to present more masculinely than most people expect. Think tank tops and denim jeans, right?

- Big parents' girl. She gets along great with her mom and dad despite having moved out from their house... a year before S13. Yeah, she... lived with them until then.

honk. (Lucky)

- Determined to uncover a mystery worth solving in S13 no matter how innocent and friendly it seems. Despite his detective work merely being a hobby, he takes it very seriously

- Undisputed pro at hide and seek after the S13 cast befriended him. He went missing for three days once and people just shrugged and went "Classic Lucky"

- Doesn't tolerate people slacking on their passion projects / jobs in general. Yet he prefers to insult them mildly as opposed to giving them outright advice... I guess nobody's perfect.
