The dazzlings look much the same as Kellin does in pony form. Fangs, triangular pupils, and of course, necklaces. If a siren takes off their necklace in any form (beyond siren as they can't) they revert back into a siren instantly.
I did some Google image hunting for a Sleeping With Sirens necklace and found one I liked right away. I decided it looked nice and vectored it (without text) for him, and ended up incorporating it into his Siren form too.
When designing him in 2017, and knowing that he'd be a siren from day one, I was looking at the dazzlings and noticing their necklaces as humans and also the gems on their chests as sirens that matched the necklaces, I knew I needed to do something with that.
And when he's alone, he's alone with his own thoughts, and he has endless negative thoughts and feelings. Luckily, he's never more than a day away from Gabe knocking on his front door, begging for cash.
At this point in time, Mikey is still highly busy with many things, while Pete is, well, he's not doing /anything/, and this lack of activity has him incredibly depressed. Everyone else he knows is super busy too, and if not for a certain snake...he'd be totally alone...
