Atop a tall cold mountain, under haunting Hungarian skies, beyond the misty wooded hills lays a Sanquary for all creatures. Along the path of wilted roses and ancient snags, there is a castle filled with decaying holiness. Travel further into the fog you may find more than anticipation. Awaiting for you beyond wooden oak, lay an antichrist with a heart of coal, eyes of wisdom and fire. Don’t let the flickering candle light trick you into his arousing appearance. A scent of cursed be, under the foreign silhouettes of mystic beings, find yourself at cross roads. From the darkness, rise a succubus from the widowed thrown. The moon is full and shines and evil glaring light. Beams of moon lit sky asurp the thrown, the Erie tick of an old clock dictating your pulse. Up from the moon lit thrown rises a ghastly pale shape shifting rigid man with septer. A piercing eye emotionless, a soul so black and cold. The black light of the moon tempts your aching chest, the seduction coursing through your very veins. And when the sun eats away the moon, only then will his white eye let you free?

Clothing Mods I Use

Pretty much of these are all for Nick, because obviously he’s my favorite character and he deserves better clothes after dealing with my OC all this time.

I’ll add more once I can think of them all, because my mod list is crowded and I’m pretty sure I’ve missed some but I got all the ones in the screenshots that y’all seemed to love. 💖

Silent Marksman Outfit: I give it to Nick to give him a more adventurous outfit.

Retro Suits: I shove all the boys into one of these getups at some point or another. They all look snazzy and handsome.

Evil Detective: Nick is in fact not evil, but the outfit looks great on him. I use it for Jazzy too so she can twin with her dad.

Handmaidens Outfit: I think the tan and blue variant look best on Nick with the short overcoat so he primarily wears that while Jas wears the long overcoat in dark red.

True Detective: All these colored coats are perfect for Nick, one does turn him invisible when he crouches which is a bit scary when you’re least expecting it.

Eli’s Armor Compendium: The only one that I don’t use anything from for Nick, but the others I do.

Suit Up: More suit variants for the guys on my play through, they all be muy guapo. 😎😎😎

Mad Hatter: I dunno how I stumbled onto this old mod but I did so now I have even more fun hats and suits.

To change Nicks clothes I use Fashionable Synth Brothers, which means DiMA is not safe either from playing dress up.

I like Tempos because (apologies if this is oddly worded) they feel like what I think of when I think of you and your art. Tempo is snazzy, jazzy, and takes no shit. They’re not what people expect from someone’s online oc in their appearance in the way that it doesn’t seem like they’re trying to be appealing to anyone but the artist and that’s incredible. They’re not entirely evil -but definitely problematic and stubborn and antagonistic- personality comes through really well in the art, and it’s really nice to see!

Tempos just has what I think makes a lot of your art and characters great: they’re unashamed, something I wish I could be more like. It’s inspiring :)

🥺🥺🥺

Wtfff... Thank you!!! I really really appreciate all that omg!!! Tempos is such a self indulgent character of mine. Lots of my favorite aesthetics and character archetypes in that guy. My little freak.

As much as making a living off my art has meant there's some stuff I draw because it's going to be more popular, I still like to tailor my art to me. And be unashamedly myself as much as I can. Like a love letter to myself! Tempos in 3/4 view number whatever because I love him.

VoicePlay 'Zat You, Santa Claus? - thoughts/commentary

Oh I loved this so much! Over on my "main" blog, BismuthBookshelf, I made a post like a week ago (about my favourite non-VP/Geoff Christmas music videos) where I mentioned how I was wanting more jazzy Christmas music, and this might not be the same sort of vibe as Man With The Bag or I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm, but it's still great! And of course it's wonderful to see J with the group yet again!

Okay so starting off with the set design: Filmed at Pattycake, duh, and the brickwork kinda looks like a set that VoicePlay and/or Geoff have used before (like Geoff's Shenandoah video kinda?), except for the windows and the vertical wood planks. Idk, I'm writing this before the BTS video is out but I'll update it if I figure anything out (EDIT: yeah the woodplanks were added in for this shoot, and maybe the windows too, as the "bricks" aren't actually bricks)

Love all the Christmas decor, like the carousel and the felt/fabric Christmas calendar(?) thing hanging up, and the tree! (How long did that take to set up and decorate? EDIT: actually Layne's wife Cyndi helped a lot with set design!)) And of course the Voiceplay logo symbol on top of the tree is brilliant. At least a few Patrons have already been wishing for that to be an item in VP's merch store. Also the five stockings hanging up have each of the guys' first initials on them! <3 (From closest to camera to furthest away, it's G, C, J, E, & L).

The guys are all looking very snazzy in this video. Love Cesar's scarf, love Layne's red sweater(?) (the most colour that any of them are wearing in the video), and honestly Geoff is really working that long-sleeve black turtleneck, man! 👀 (And obligatory shoutout to Geoff's hair, of course, *chefs kiss*)

I'm of course just typing this all from the Patreon early access thing, but fun fact: this is both the second Christmas video and the second consecutive video of this year to be filmed without an actual cameraman! But unlike using an iPhone like in the previous cases, this was filmed using a robotic camera arm, fully programmed to the music, able to repeat precise movements with each take! I highly doubt Voiceplay are gonna give up on using human camera operators completely, but this is still a cool thing to have as a potential option for video shoots! (EDIT: it's called "Cinebot", and a guy called Ben Meyers helped out with programming/operating it!)

Right, now time to talk more about the vocals and the song arrangement itself!

As per with previous thoughts/commentary posts, most of these notes are after a second watch, with a few extra thoughts mixed in from additional watches, because as I've said before, the first-time watch is just for the vibes

Y'know when I listened to the cover of Zat You Santa Claus on the Peppermint Winter album, I was like "eh it doesn't really have much of a Christmassy vibe imo, gives me more spy movie vibes?" but like with this version I don't even care (the video makes up for it, it's fine), and by the the time you're reading this post, this song will have replaced the old version in my Christmas Spotify playlist!

On my second watch-through, I had the song lyrics up on my phone (while the video played on my laptop), and that made me realize that a few lines got slightly reworded, and then there's a whole section that's not in the original! The bit where they're singing "he's coming for you/hope you've not been bad" or something like that is definitely new, but not new for VoicePlay, because I went back and relistened to the 2012 Peppermint Winter cover and that section is in there as well.

Doing a relisten of their previous cover also made me realise that this arrangement really is different to the older one, even genre-wise, and I like this one more!

Okay I'm gonna do a third watch-through, pausing to take notes as I go, just to make sure I don't miss anything or forget to mention anything here!

A nice bit of whistling from Cesar at the start! (Seriously can everyone whistle except me? 😅)

"Is that you, Santa Claus?" pfft I love the little bit of dramatic flair Geoff put on the delivery of that line 😁

"Are you bringing a present for me?" ooh that harmony at the start of that line! I don't wanna say it's dissonant, because I'm not a music expert and I really don't know, but it sounded "different" and I liked it!

"Something pleasant that you can present; a present for me" this is one of the main line changes, because in the original (and in their 2012 cover as well, in fact), it's "something pleasantly pleasant for me". But sure, why not change it up a bit?

Eli killing it as always!

Oh man I'm almost tempted to make a screenshot compilation just for the "he's coming to get ya" section alone ngl. All their facial expressions are just so great! I feel like I gotta watch this video five times and just focus on a different person each time!

I'm assuming the YouTube description will confirm it (and/or the BTS video), but Patrons are guessing that "Santa" (the one handing over the present) is Tony, which'd make sense (though I'm also guessing that the voice of Santa would be Eli, since he did the same thing in Mission Jingle Bells and Oogie Boogie's Song, and was "Sandy Claws" in Jingle Bell Rock last year.

UPDATE TO THE ABOVE: Nope, that was actually Bucky as Santa Claus! Or as the YouTube description puts it: "Zat Ur Hands? - Bucky Claus" 😂

Omg now I'm just thinking that it would've been really funny if Geoff had subtly sang "Is that you, Sandy Claws", as a fun little double throwback, lol.

Not sure what I love more - Eli killing it on lead vocals yet again, or Geoff just fully grinning as Eli does so 😄

"Who's there, who is it? Are you - stopping for a -" Layne!!! I love him honestly, and it's always great when he gets a little bit of lead vocals.

J's Louis Armstrong impression was freaking amazing, and so was the scatting!

Yeah I love this song and video so much - it's so fun, they all look like they had a great time filming it, and it's such a freaking vibe!

And that's VoicePlay's final song of 2024 (SIKE! We still got Party Of Your Lifetime to come, but hey, I didn't know that when I was first writing up this post!) other than some VoicePlay Minis and stuff (and Party Of Your Lifetime!). I of course have not a single clue what VP has in store for 2025, but that's just part of the greatness of VoicePlay! You never know what you're gonna get next, but it's always gonna be amazing in its own way.

Happy Holidays, and see you soon for both some 2024 roundup posts from me, as well as whatever Voiceplay has been cooking up next! ;)

Ace Trigun Week Day 2: Wearing the colours

Looking snazzy, or should I say jazzy, in a new suit. 👀

[random-dragon-exe]

Okay this is my opinion, but I think out of all the Disney villains, Dr. Facilier and Oogie Boogie would get along.

I mean think about it. They both have a similar music style that's jazzy and snazzy, flamboyant/showy, and associated with shadows.

They also have a song that uses blacklight which gives them a literal glow up.

Plus, Dr. Facilier has the cards and Oogie has the dice.

Putting their evilness aside, these two would totally know how to party. Heck, Dr. Facilier was in the heart of New Orleans, which celebrates Mardi Gras, so he probably knows a thing or two about partying hard.

The two would undoubtedly be absolute menaces if/when they get drunk. Especially Oogie. (I HC Oogie as a sloppy drunk while Facilier is basically the same after a few drinks if not a little friendlier)

I'd also wager that Oogie is impressed and would like to learn a few basic card tricks from Facilier but has trouble because of no actual fingers, lol.

Amok - Absolutely

Shidou Ryusei x Reader

Quote: "Fall in love because it's your God-given right."

Shidou Ryusei was, in every manner of the word amok. Uncontrollable and disruptive.

Wild.

Brilliantly brazen in a way that not many things are.

Practically a force of nature.

A very alterent of human nature.

So, it was only expected that he would enter into an industry where he’d be able to do what someone like him did best. Draw in the attention of everyone around him. The life of an idol. He had, at one point, been invested in soccer but an injury here and accident there was enough to throw those dreams out the window.

But alas, that was but the past. Here and now he was an idol hopeful at the best school. A brand new world where only the best of the best are brought and found. Coming in through the special program known as Blue Lock.

Unconventional.

Cutthroat.

And wild.

Some were baffled and most backed away from such a strange program. But this was exactly the way he preferred things. The only way he would have chosen to live if possible.

The only certain way of leaving your mark on society.

The only certain way to leave your mark on the world.

It is, in modern society, almost a job to be praised by another - specifically another in the same industry or similar position. There are, of course, expectations for every rule but the generalization of it as a rule is simply because it appears so very often in present day society - for what’s a rule if not a standardized way of understanding things?

Regardless of the specifics, it could be said that praise in this world we live in, and specifically the idol world, is not easy to come by from other idols.

This was not so much the case for Shidou Ryusei.

Well, perhaps it was but in a roundabout way.

If Shidou considered someone brilliant he would proclaim it to the heavens.

If someone acted in a way Shidou considered admirable he made it clear he knew. Always made it clear what he thought and felt - leaving no room for any misinterpretations. And such was the only way for someone like him to live.

Though, it wasn’t as if everyone caught his attention.

Much like everyone else, his praise had to be earned.

Searches for someone that sparks.

Shidou hears the jazzy sound of the saxophone and snazzy beat of the drum before he hears your voice. Notices the jumpy piano only slightly after.

“Hey, be kind, be patient~ Be hard to please~ It seems contradicting, but do it honestly~ Just give a little, give a little, give a little, give a little~ Until you disintegrate~”

It catches his attention as he makes his way through the cafe.

Pop songs are what’s mostly popular nowadays. The cheerful upbeat songs that girls like you usually sing aren’t exactly Shidou’s cup of tea but he doesn't mind them all too much. Not like a certain stuck up classmate of his. They’re catchy and fun. Easy to understand and easy to play. Easy to like.

What really surprises him is how good your voice sounds with something one could almost consider Jazz. It’s exciting and unique. Gets his heart pumping dramatically in a way that it doesn't usually.

Almost sparks something.

Finds himself standing stuck to the spot until your song is finished. Practically entranced by your very being itself. Got his heart pounding dramatically and got the adrenaline running through his veins.

It’s exciting.

Thrilling.

Something so very him.

If someone acted in a way Shidou considered admirable he made it clear he knew. Always made it clear what he thought and felt - leaving no room for any misinterpretations. And such was the only way for someone like him to live.

Immediately he makes his way to you. Shidou notes that you’re pretty. Not jaw droppingly gorgeous but pretty enough that he’d do a double take on the street. Pretty enough to make his heart skip a beat. What really sets you apart from everyone else is those eyes. They’re brilliant and seem to exude everything he looks for in a person.

Though, it wasn’t as if everyone caught his attention.

You smile coyly as he approaches you, holding your hands behind you back in that polite fashion that pretty girls like you usually do. You’re so warm and bright - so very different from him. Now Shidou doesn't like to consider himself snobby. He’ll hang around anyone that gets his blood pumping, but those people aren’t usually like you. Typically a little more like him. Bold and brazen. Chaotic. Everything that you are not. And yet his heart seems to race with every step closer he takes.

But, of course, there were obviously people in this world that could catch his attention. More often than not, it was people like you. Someone brilliant.

“I like you!” Shidou declares. Loudly, proudly, and suddenly as his hand came in contact with yours. Your hand fits so perfectly in his own that he finds it cute. Finds you cute.

You smile politely, “thank you.”

“Bet you’re used to hearing that a lot,” Shidou grins from ear to ear, “aren’t ya?”

Your voice is coy and humble in every way that he isn’t as you reply, “not in such a straightforward fashion.”

His voice is brazen and bold in every way that you’re not, “perform with me.” It’s more of a command than it is a question.

“You’re with the Blue Lock agency, aren’t you?” You ask and Shidou finds himself torn, debating if your words were more condescending or curious. You say it in such a tone that he can’t really decide. In such a way that he’s certain makes even you unsure of how exactly you mean it.

Shidou nods proudly, “Shidou Ryusei. You’ve heard of me, haven’t you?”

“I doubt there’s a person on campus that hasn’t heard about the Blue Lock boys.” You say.

“Not what I asked, Sweetheart.”

You raise a brow, “sweetheart?”

“Ain’t that what you are?” Shidou asks, “a sweetheart?”

“I-” you seem at a loss for words as you attempt to recollect yourself, seemingly stuck between declining the compliment (in the polite way that most people do) and accepting it (in the way that Shidou really wants you to). “I suppose so.”

Shidou grins in response like a man who’s just won some great mystery prize, “course~”

You’re quick to recollect yourself, seeming recalibrating internally, as you flash Shidou a polite smile, “it’s a pleasure to meet you, Shidou.”

“Ryusei.”

“Hm?”

“Call me Ryusei.”

You scratch the back of your neck in an embarrassed manner, “I don’t think that’d be very appropriate.”

“It is.”

“And why’s that?”

“I said it before, didn’t I?” Shidou grins in a way that typically makes people’s hearts race, “because I like you~”

Bets that your heart's racing right now with how red your face gets. Imagines you’re not used to boys that’re bold and brazen like him - and he likes that. Likes that he’ll be the first man to barge into your life like a storm in an attempt to sweep you off your feet.

Someone like you deserves nothing less.

In the end he doesn't get you to agree to do a song with him but he does get your number!

Guess you win some and you lose some.

---

Despite how bright the sun seems and how blue the sky looks, the windy ocean breeze is ever so chilly. The golden sand is warm if only against the skin of your feet as you make your way to the water, Shidou’s hand wrapped tightly around your own.

He’d cornered you during the first period and managed to convince you to skip your classes for the rest of the day to hang out with him. Told you that he’d follow you to all your classes (regardless of if he was in them or not) and pester you until you finally agreed. And, being the ever sensible person that Shiodu isn’t you agree. Spare your classmates and teachers the pain, you suppose.

He ended up dragging you to the train station with a playful sorta look on his face that you just can’t seem to ignore. He’s just so damn happy that you agreed to come with him to the beach. You called it kidnapping or cohesion. He called it spending time with a friend.

He keeps his hand wrapped tightly around yours despite knowing you won’t pull away.

You’re such a nice girl.

Such a pretty girl.

He’d bet a whole lotta money that you’ve broken more than your fair share of hearts. You walk around with a warm smile on your face and a playful gleam in your eyes that’s magnetic.

“What kinda guys do you like?” Shidou asks.

“Hm,” you smile teasingly, “your brash aptitude to asking personal questions never ceases to surprise me.”

He takes the insult in stride, “thank you, pretty girl.”

“Well, at least you aren’t shy.”

Shidou quirks a brow, “you into shy guys?”

“Do you think I am?”

Anyone else, anyone sensible, likely would have pondered on that question for a little. Let it stir in his mind. Marinate overnight and debate on the implication the slight raise of your lip (always slightly more on the left than right) might mean. He might’ve wondered if you were testing him if he’d been anyone else. Might’ve even let go of your hand and look you in the face.

But Shidou is not everyone else.

He is distinctly and uniquely him.

A wild brazen storm running amok.

So of course he shakes his head, “course not. Why else would you be here with me?”

You seemed to have gotten better at hiding the surprise, or maybe you’ve gotten used to the surprise that he’s been afforded in return for his brash words. Well he doesn't consider it brash (preferring the term confident) but you do. And he likes you.

You smile in that polite way that he can’t, “perhaps you’re right.”

“Perhaps? Please, I’m always right.”

“Oh are you now?”

“Always right when it comes to you~”

And there’s the blush he’s been working towards.

Likes how you look when you blush - which is probably why he tries to make it happen so often. Though, one could also argue that that’s just how personality is.

You look off longingly towards the water, as if it holds the key to your heart. With a longing that Shidou’s all too familiar with.

So what else does Shidou do but drag you into the water? Brashly and boldly; not caring that the both of you are wearing running shoes and socks. To him, those are but simple little things. A note left alone in the bottom of a bag. Barely any notice.

You look as if you’re about to protest but stop by the time the water reaches your knees.

Much too late to complain about spilled milk now.

Well, Shidou might have to hear about it on the ride back when you both got wet shoes but that’s later and this is now.

Your hand somehow manages to slip from his own as you wander ahead of him.

Now, Shidou would never consider someone a God. Not for any religious beliefs of some strong self of self assurance but because he loved humanity. Loved it in a way a mother should unconditionally love her child.

He also happens to love a challenge - and even more so overcoming that challenge.

But you, Shidou thinks, out of everyone, could have been a God.

No.

Perhaps not a God.

Prometheus - if he had to give you a comparison. Someone that hands between humanity and immortality. Between life and death. Between this world and the rest of the universe. You were more than a human that simply walked upon this earth.

A thief in the night if his heart could be considered flames.

“This is how I want to die.” You say, your voice ever so soft and ever so gentle in that way that Shidou is not. You hold your hands behind your back as you turn around to face him, a pretty smile on your face. He wonders how it would feel to pull you close against him and press his lips to yours.

Your words, as they usually are, surprise him.

It’s not something he’d expect you to say.

Not something anyone would imagine you saying. Not while you’re so young and bright. So youthful and innocent. One could almost call it juxtaposition as you stand in the water, your shoes soaked, facing him, and proclaiming death as a companion.

His heart skips a beat.

This is it.

That spark.

“You’re brilliant!” Shidou exclaimed, as he took your hand in his own, “go out with me!”

Fall in love because it’s your God given right.

In the end he doesn't get you to agree to going out with him, but he does manage to get you to press a chaste kiss to his cheek.

Guess you win some and you lose some.
