I forgot what today was-

Day 6!!!

I chose , omarr-journey [lofi] as the song because of the name(the octonauts travel a lot) and because I could see this playing in the background when traveling to different places :>>

Happy birthday Percy...

//Ok, so I’m only doing the biggies since I have too many characters and too little energy and all of them love Percy. Keep in mind that surely other characters of mine have gifted Percy something for his birthday (i.e. Dr. Dad Ramesh and Chai probably took Percy out to a respectful brunch or something LOL). Anyway, on Percy day, our favorite little guy received the following...

From your favorite play cousin... Sidney knew Percy doesn’t often get his nails done as he works with them so often (he also knew Percy probably wouldn’t want to be fussed over too much) but because Sidney is Sidney he HAD TO do Percy’s nails and make up for him for his get together later that night. It was a must. (And, yes, he also gifted Percy those adorable hair clips).

From Aunt Tilly... With the help of Buttons to complete such a big order Tilly absolutely made Percy a cake and cupcakes for his gathering. Each one was special and made with love. He also received a handwritten card (delivered by, like, a fuckin’ deer or chipmunk or something) that read: Here’s to many more cakes to come, little one. Happy Birthday. xo T

And finally From Omarr... A junk journal/scrapbook, decorated by Omarr himself. It’s full of concert ticket memories and polaroid photos, pressed flowers and little notes from all the people Percy loves. Omarr hunted nearly everyone in town down to write something on one of the pages. The last couple Omarr designated for Len, October, and then himself, finishing the book with a photo of Omarr and Percy together and the words: For the kindest, silliest, adorable-est, most special-spectacular person I know (who just so happens to be my brother and best friend). Love you, bro-bro. NOW LET’S MAKE MORE MEMORIES! >:D

“... And then whom should'st appear in the shop but the courtier from the palace ere, as I was being measured, with mine chest bare. She looked utterly scandalized.” The two lay in Omarr’s bed, legs entwined and noses touching. He’d been sharing a story about his trip to the tailor, and how just before, there had been a bit of a ruckus at the palace. It’d been funny, how could he not share? He ghosts a kiss against the younger man’s mouth, humming. “And how was thy day, dearest Omarr?”

Closed starter for @ok-notaras​

Kieran tilted his head, “Yeah man I get it, it’s...it’s hard. My dad would constantly lecture me when I was a kid, about how I needed to be a role model for my little brothers.” He grins wryly, “I was a big cryer, just so sensitive when I was young. And my dad would always beat me up about it, just saying I gotta be stronger, tougher.”  He looked over at Omarr, “I’m sorry though, I didn’t mean to go off on a tangent on you. What’d they say that’s got you so down on yourself?”

Beauty & the Bieber (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

Continuing their signature style of combining childhood classics with modern music, the PattyCake guys decided to tackle a tale as old as time for their next project.

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 17 March 2017

My favorite bits:

combining the rhythmic strings and the villagers' greetings from "Belle" with the melody for "I'll Show You"

Belle explicitly giving Gaston the brush-off

the tinkling minor motif from the animated movie as Belle enters the castle

Earl's fantastic growl at the end of "Never Say Never"

LaFou's gleeful fawning over Gaston and dancing on the tables

the sneaky ♫ "May-be" ♫ from "Company" overlapping with the tavern scene and leading into the "Be Our Guest" instrumentation

the Beast's lovely vulnerability during the dinner and dancing

using the crunchy horn motif from "Battle on the Tower" to create menace in this version of "Let Me Love You"

Earl's voice being layered over the final lyrics after the transformation

Trivia:

○ The obvious starting point for this project was Jusin Beiber's "Beauty and a Beat", which Tony and Layne had performed as part of VoicePlay's "Wow! Vol. 1" medley during the 2015 Sing-Off tour, but one song does not a full plot make. The guys delved into his extended catalogue to find songs that fit certain story beats and would blend well with the animated movie's score.

○ This was an incredibly ambtious undertaking. According to the PattyCake guys, preparations took five months, and filming spanned "six long days" (and nights, clearly).

○ All that hard work paid off, though, since they were able to time their YouTube release for the same day that the Emma Watson movie hit theaters.

○ VoicePlay recorded a Beauty and the Beast medley for "Once Upon an Ever After" (2012), their first album with Tony as a member of the group. Excerpts from that arrangement later appeared in their music videos "Be Our Guest", "Aca Top 10 – Disney Sidekicks", and "Aca Top 10 – Disney Villains". They also included "Belle" in their "Aca Top 10 – Broadway" countdown.

○ "Love Yourself" was the first song in VoicePlay's PartWork series, which they started as preparation for Tony leaving the group.

○ Layne occasionally used "Baby" as his interruption at the end of VoicePlay's "Road Trip" medley / comedy sketch.

○ On top of their usual studio work, this production required multiple location shoots:

The outdoor village scenes were filmed at the Casa Feliz museum.

Beast's castle interior was the Ballroom at Church Street, which closed in 2019, and was demolished 2023.

The tavern was an actual bar, the Tap Room at Dubsdread.

○ Between the main cast and dozens of background folks, they needed so many costumes that Tony enlisted his sister Anita to help wrangle them all.

○ There are several of Tony's fellow "Beetlejuice Revue" alumni among the main cast:

Michael (Gaston) played Dracula and Frankenstein's monster.

Joey (LaFou) played Wolfman and Dracula.

Brad (Prince Adam) was a dancer in the final "Mashup" iteration of the show.

○ There are also many friends and family among background cast and crew, including several cast members from previous Unexpected Musicals. Olivia Adkins and Leah Lowman are among the village crowd as Snow White and Cinderella. Rachel Copeland and Matthew Buckner are in the tavern crowd, but not as their previous characters. Many of the other villagers were clubgoers in "Hocus Heathens".

○ This video got a nice write-up on Huffington Post.
