ATTENTION PLAY IT BY EAR AND OFF BOOK FANS!!!

Last year, @incorrect-play-it-by-ear ran a PIBE Fic Week, which kickstarted an entire year of fandom ridiculousness, and we (myself and @fatestitcherr ) have decided to run PIBE FANWORK WEEK 2025. A week to celebrate Play It By Ear/Off Book with anything you'd like to create, be it art, a fic, music, or whatever. PIBE Fanwork Week 2025 will be running from February 17th-23rd with themes and explanations below!

Post work under the tag #PIBE Fanwork 2025

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me or @fatestitcherr and above I hope this is just as fun and as ridiculous as Play It By Ear

🚨Out now on Dropout, a new episode of the tawdry soap opera, One News To Break!

Starring Duke Butterfeather (Oscar Montoya), Eleganta Millionari (Mano Agapion), Bill-Bill O'Shaughnessy (Sam Reich), and Linda (Ruha Taslimi)

The dropout Community is crying out for "Oops! All-Bards", especially the ones who watch both D20 and Play It By Ear (which is a lot of us). For context, the idea is the party is (unsurprisingly) all bards or musical characters, the DM would probably be Brennan, or our good fella Ross Bryant. We have tons of options for a cast, including...

Zach Reino (We know he plays D&D, has appeared on Hello From the Magic Tavern)

Jess McKenna (She'd be a total newbie, which would be so fun to see, unless she's learned to play since Dungeons and Dating on Offbook, has appeared on Hello From the Magic Tavern. EDIT: Jess has learned to play dnd, how fun)

Ross Bryant (Long time player, DM, has appeared on Hello From the Magic Tavern)

Rashawn Nadine Scott (currently the lovely Viola on Burrow's end, is in a DND podcast which I unfortunately cannot remember the name of)

Jiavani (unaware of her D&D experience, a Play It By Ear regular, insanely funny inproviser)

Zeke Nicholson (unaware of his D&D experience, an Offbook & Play It By Ear regular)

Mano Agapion (If Ross DMs, then there's an open spot in the dome! Host of Play It By Ear, Unaware of his D&D Experience)

There's so much else you could do with a concept like this, if everyone's a different subclass, what if their characters are themed around different musicals? Or different genres of music? @samreich we're counting on you

Edit: Please give cast suggestions in the tags! Resident Horny Bisexual Theatre Kid grant got mentioned, and also once offbooker Lou Wilson, who was there for one of my favourite Offbook songs: "No thank you, Too Scary!" (Episode is 68. Monster Kids for those wondering)

The Full list of potential cast members:

Zach Reino

Jess McKenna

Ross Bryant

Brennan Lee Mulligan

Rashawn Nadine Scott

Zeke Nicholson

Grant Anthony O'Brien

Just a reminder that the best song on Play It By Ear — dare I say the best song on Dropout — is from the PIBE S2 Dress Rehearsal.

What's Brennan's fave snack?

Play it by ear is honestly one of the best shows on the platform and I desperately need another season. I mean the songs slap, the improv's good, the band goes so hard, Mano is always so excited with everything, the set and lighting are good and they manage to keep a mostly coherent plot throughout episodes.

What does good dick taste like?

[quadrefiore]

wild that i haven’t seen anybody talking about how in whimsy on wheels, Mano (as a sort of all-knowing being of the show-world) uses gender-neutral pronouns for Brendan, while Brendan’s friends use he/him pronouns for Brendan

i could be reading into this but brendan internally struggling with gender, and mano knows this as an omniscient being in the whimsyonwheels-verse so he refers to brendan with gender neutral pronouns, while brendan’s friends don’t know about it so they refer to brendan with he/him pronouns

again i’m probably reading into this like it’s probably just bc mano/whoever writes the prompts doesn’t know who will want to play brendan so they don’t make it clear brendan’s gender… but like yes give me internally-struggling-with-gender brendan

[moonage-mess]

thank you play it by ear commentary episode for giving us this moment

[gaybearwedding]

made a silly little compilation of mano and the pibe cast being (lovingly) at odds with each other <3

[robynator]

it's honestly so strange seeing mano agapion in pibe without their tux. every time he was on screen i had to do a double take

[tues-dayy]

was struck by the thought of Mano as a powerful trickster god whose only passion is manipulating stories among universes and timelines. very much just a guy playing with their favorite toys
