“Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws?!”🎶

[kipcobblestone]

Mockery, Master, and Deceit… a trio sent by Tharizan to torture The Irregulars.

And yet this shit does not work out in his favor 😭 these mfs are the equivalent of either the veggietales green onions or the boogie boys from the nightmare before christmas.

The names the party gave them (bc who the fuck is gonna call them that) are Meres, Malemir, and De! These three flare up a lot around Cariad’s arc, so the majority of what’s seen in the story goes on between Master and Cariad!

A little thing to note is Tharizan has a lot… and I mean A LOT of symbols. The most notable are the number 3, jagged spirals, and the potent color neon green. (Ironically enough, three main symbols LMAO)

OKAY BAM TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY LES GOOOO

Villain Song Showdown - Christmas edition

Some songs pulled from submissions that seem relevant for today

'Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws? I wanna do it Let's draw straws Jack said, "we should work together" Three of a kind Birds of a feather Now and forever, whee!'

'Kidnap the Sandy Claws' - Nightmare Before Christmas

-

Cam, Mica and Karl as Lock, Shock and Barrel from Nightmare Before Christmas uwu (With my own mini spin on the designs to fit them, of course!) The first time I've drawn the Headspace Chaos Trio™️ together and they had. Far too much fun. Whatever chaos you think two humans and a mutant could potentially cause, amplify that by like 10.

Karl and Cam currently have a mini 'rivalry' and it's causing everyone a headache, and Mica is only egging them on.

They all willingly did this simply to cause even more chaos, makeup included.

Their partners are currently in the corner rethinking their life choices.

Help.

KIDNAP MR. SANDY CLAWS?

my first time carving a pumpkin feels like a success!!

[avionvadion]

on a scale of "yeah she suffers a lot in the first semester but things get better!" to "you could set this to the tune of it's a hard knock life" how much does el suffer in the school year? (it makes me hope she doesnt get knocked out by the magift disc during the tournament)

“It’s a hard knock life, for us! ‘Stead of treated, we’re tricked! ‘Stead of kisses, we’re kicked! It’s the hard knock life!”

I wanna say October and December will be the worst of it. October is definitely going to be #1 biggest bad, considering Playful Land, and the kidnapping Jamil pulls is high up as #2 since she ends up deprived of her medicine and literally ends up nearly dying AGAIN if not for Azul being “prepared for everything” and having the right potion on him in case of a situation where it would come in handy since he, too, is now aware of the insanity El gets into on a daily basis.

Like October is one bad thing after another- the Overblot, Playful Land, the Magicam Monsters (Endless Night is actually a vacation for her lol) - but December, when Jamil has her locked up and is forcing her to march in the desert without water and her meds in an effort to frame Kalim? It’s ROUGH. A rescue can only help one so much and baby girl is probably out of puffs. (Legit, nebulizing CARRIES you through the day more often than not, if especially bad you have to nebulize twice or even thrice, but inhalers get you through only a couple hours before you start to hurt as your lungs get sore and it gets harder and harder to breathe. And only being able to use the rescue and none of your daily medicine? Sheer agony.)

Eleanora is literally on her last legs when they steal the magic carpet and escape, she straight up freaking collapses into Jade and Floyd, asthma attacking as it’s been days without nebulizing and daily inhalers and just… having a full on melt down because she CAN’T anymore, she can’t handle it, she’s at her wits end, she has tried and tried and tried and kept pushing forward but this is the breaking point and she is DONE. Please don’t let them get her don’t let them drag her back she can’t do this anymore she’s scared and it hurts and oh gods they’re going to kill her please don’t let them get her she can’t go back this exact situation is WHY she wanted to stay in Halloween Town, why why why did she listen to Sandy Claws and Mr. Horns- oh gods dying.

Jade and Floyd gonna be having Playful Land FLASHBACKS and Azul is gonna be shooketh because he’s never seen Eleanora break down like this. (I think Adeuce, Lilia, and Mal are the only ones who’ve actually seen El breakdown so far? But this is way worse. She’s just straight BROKEN.)

Jade and Floyd, seeing Eleanora dying from asphyxiation: “Oh- OH NOPE NO NOT AGAIN OH SHIT. Azul!? AZUL-“

Azul, bursting back into the room; “IT’S ALL GOOD, BOYS, I HAVE THE POTION!!! She’s not dying before I can repay my debt! I still need to even our chess score!”

*Scarabia students come breaking into the room afterwards*

Jade and Floyd: “Ah, so they have chosen death.”

But yeah.

October and Scarabia are the worst for El. Ignihyde will hurt in the sense it’s a betrayal? (She really hecking trust Idia and Ortho by that point) And Diasomnia will also be emotionally upsetting. But physically, October and Scarabia are the worst, Octavinelle and Pomfiore are pretty chill, Ignihyde and Diasomnia will be emotional damage.

October: Traumatizing and literally fatal

November: More annoyed than anything

December: Breaking Point

January-Early February: Pretty chill, save for Rollo

February-Early March: Betrayal

April: Sad but very determined

[blues-sues]

Made some babytwos based on some monsters! I know it's nowhere near October but I was listening to Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws and... Y'know.

I may give some away since I only have a few whom I really like... But, if I don't, don't worry! I may do giveaway characters on Tumblr soon (mostly I've just been doing so in Discord since I don't usually like giving characters away to random ppl cause I worry what they'll be used for ... Atleast there I know they're going somewhere safe lolol. No offense to anyone, really, I just have anxiety)

Voiceplay Visuals - Thriller (part 2 of 2)

(The video isn't a two-parter, but this analysis is! You can find part 1 HERE!)

Time for part 2! I ended the first part right after Geoff got pulled down by Zombie!Layne and Zombie!Cesar, with Geoff the next one (after Eli) to be zombified. And without further ado, let's continue on!

(Everything is below the cut!)

"Okay well that was weird"

Uh oh J! Look behind you!

(Also, as I said at the end of part 1 of this analysis, the jump from Geoff being pulled down to J's lead vocal part here is part of a continuous camera shot, being Layne and Cesar had to get up from helping Geoff "fall" out of the shot and move over to J with the right timing and stuff!

Zombie Eli! And then now comes...

Zombie Geoff!

This "rising up" motion was done again with the help of Layne and Eli, holding Geoff's back as he started out in a rather extreme/impressive "going under a limbo bar/pole" position (seriously I'm not sure even I could do that even with people holding my back/supporting my weight), and then helping to push him upright. This took at least a few takes to get right because Geoff was grinning/smiling too much 😆 (apparently Layne and Cesar were being dumb/making silly comments and Not Helping in that regard, lol) (Tony in the BTS video: "can we try it again without the extremely-pleased-with-himself grin?")

Uh oh J, I think they've realised that you're the last one left who's not yet a zombie!

Oh you thought the previous looks were the zombie looks? Nope, these are the real zombie looks! And starting off with Zombie Carrot Lord!

I'll be honest, in my first watch-through, I didn't actually realise that that was a carrot going through Layne's head - I wasn't pausing or rewinding, and there was a lot to take in, and I wasn't really looking at Layne after this shot, because a Certain Someone began to grab my attention well and truly! 😂

Also it's kinda funny how the zombification, or at least the "midway stage" didn't affect everyone the same - like Layne and Cesar went and "attacked" Eli and Geoff to turn them zombies as well, and then had their sights set on J, but Eli, even though he moved a little closer to J, didn't seem like he was planning on biting him, and then here, he also seems to express surprise at Layne's "full-stage" transformation! 😄

And here's where I finally give credit where credit is most certainly due: kudos to the incredibly awesome amazing Mr Rick Underwood and the brilliant Renette Feren for everyone's makeup and prosthetics! (Including Kathy's!) Also, Rick Underwood is co-credited along with Geoff on "creative concept" for this one, because he apparently convinced Geoff on the idea of doing a zombie transformation, or at least some element of it like having the "midway point" as well. I don't know/can't remember from the BTS, but still, Rick is a super talented and creative guy whose skills at makeup and facial prosthetics are truly wondrous!

It's Geoff's time to shine!

Also compare the height of this image with the height of the previous one - this one is skinnier/shorter, right? The screen "closes in" a little bit right before the start of Geoff's monologue to a "slimmer" aspect ratio! It makes it look more cinematic, I guess? It's a cool touch, anyway!

Honestly I'm almost a little surprised at myself at how much I was actually okay with Geoff's zombie look - I guess once you've had to deal with "Mr Hyde" from Kidnap The Sandy Claws and "The Caretaker/Silas Krump" from Hide And Seek/Ding Dong, everything else is really not that bad in comparison 😂

Also if you pay attention to Geoff's eyes in any shot of him post-zombification, you'll notice that he never blinks on camera - not even once!

I really like the inclusion of these shots, because it confirms the overarching narrative of the video, and it's kinda sort of a fourth-wall-break but not really? I feel like it's maybe obvious and yet hard to explain at the same time but I'll do my best.

So like when you're within the "boundaries" of the set, you as the viewer naturally accept the set design as representing the "location" that the video is occurring in. And for this video, it's meant to be a graveyard/cemetery at nighttime, and all the guys are just "characters" within it. But as soon as J runs for the exit door, that "breaks the illusion"; that exit door is quite obviously not part of the graveyard set; it's part of Pattycake Studios. And suddenly what's happening feels more "real", which honestly doesn't feel like the right word but it's the best I've got. Basically, because of this shot, the story now shifts from "some people in a graveyard at night who get turned into zombies" to "VoicePlay is filming a new video when things start to go very, very wrong"

(And yes I'm rambling a lot but hey, analysis is a large part of what these posts are about!)

It's hard to show it in a single screenshot but I love the cheeky grin/smirk Geoff has on the line "to terrorise y'all's neighbourhood" - like he's having fun with this 😄

Check out the vein/s on Geoff's arm! It seems they got some fancy detailing/airbrushing as well! (Credit to @haethehell for this one)

Geoff's shoulder movements in this whole monologue section were absolutely incredible and genuinely an absolute treat to watch (honestly I wish I could've seen more of this segment being filmed in the BTS video, but alas, can't have it all)

(Also is it just me or does the zombie look kind of work well with his hair or something? Like seriously he looks like a legit movie character or something here - I can't explain it!)

Oof, look at his hands as well!

(Also not a visual thing but if I had a nickel for every time Geoff mentioned the "hounds of hell" in a VoicePlay cover, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's kinda funny that it's happened twice)

Oh and speaking of awesome shoulder movements!

Honestly the latter half of the monologue had no business going as hard as it did, both visually and audibly, but honestly I love it and it delights me to no end <3

(But seriously Geoff, get it!)

(Also I think he's now likely got his necklace tucked inside his shirt, probably to avoid it swinging around too much, and/or to avoid the makeup/airbrushing stuff)

RIP J None

J has been zombified, and so now it's time for some killer dance moves! (Couldn't help myself, lol)

And now the screen has opened back up again to the starting aspect ratio!

Get it J! (Or M.J. None, perhaps? 🤔😝)

Yeahhhhh there we go! I mean come on, they had to include at least a little something from the zombie dance stuff in the original video! (But I think the others were probably quite glad that they could just let J do most of the dancing, lol)

*(insert creepy evil Geoff laughter here)*

And that's a wrap on Thriller! Everyone's acting was great (I feel like I didn't mention Cesar a lot in this one but he was brilliant as always), the makeup was on point, and basically the Kings Of Halloween have retained their crown once more! (No clue what they could possibly do next year, but eh that's a whole 12 months away).

Obviously it's too early for me to know anything for sure about VP's November release, even as a Patron, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was more "visually-simplistic" in terms of the video (which would be very fair and valid). So if nothing else, I shall hopefully be doing another one of these in December at the latest! And until then, I'll try to find/think of other posts to give this blog a bit of activity every now and then. Thanks y'all! Hope you enjoyed!
