@babyitsmagic continued from here

“fuck yeah it is,” he answers, grin on his face. god, does she really have no idea how crazy she drives him? especially when he gets to see those fangs. there’s something so attractive about how deadly max is.

[babyitsmagic]

“I’ve decided to see your threat against my life as flirting.” For Max from Eli !!!

@heartfullofxfright

she grins, not bothering to hide the fangs. she doesn't have to, not with eli, at least. "fuckin' great. is it workin'?"

2017 VoicePlay winter activities — ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

With a new year came new projects and collaborators, as well as several personal milestones for the guys.

.

Auld Lang Syne

VoicePlay started the year on someting of a bittersweet note, finally making the offical announcement of Tony's retirement from the group. Fans had been remarking on his increasing absences from VoicePlay's content and concerts over the preceding year, so the formal confirmation that he had left was sad, but certainly less upsetting in knowing that it was an amicable decision.

Five years of frequent, extended travel had taken their toll. Tony wanted to spend more time at home with his family, and refocus his creative energies on new projects through PattyCake Productions, the studio he and Layne had been building over the previous year.

.

On a happier note, Eli and Ashley entered the home stretch in preparing for their wedding.

.

Hot and cold

As they said in the audition video, the remaining guys didn't let a vacancy disrupt their other plans. They continued to alternate between Erik Winger and J.None as their stand-in baritones as they hit the road almost immediately.

First they picked up Winger and headed south for a stylish wedding in the Florida Keys.

Then they scooped up J.None and returned to snowy NYC for the annual APAP conference after skipping it the year before.

.

Once they got home, it was time for some more rehearsals before they performed at a couple local private events and filmed their next video.

This song wasn't fast enough already, guys? Yeesh!

.

Jacobson nuptials

And of course everyone gathered to celebrate at Eli and Ashley's wedding.

.

From the road to the air

Toward the end of the month, Layne and Tony gathered up a few family members and friends and headed to southern Florida for their next PattyCake project.

When they got home, VoicePlay snagged J.None again and flew out west to "crash Eli's honeymoon" and headline the annual Napa Valley A Cappella Extravaganza.

.

Part of the extended family

During their week at home between road dates, Earl got to meet Jodi Benson, voice of the animated Ariel, during a Nemo post-show meet and greet session.

.

Round and round

The next weekend, the guys and Winger headed up to New Jersey for a show in Rahway with opening act Garden State Sound Quartet. The concert received some preliminary hype in the local press, and a very nice recap.

.

Then they popped home long enough to pick up J.None and Max Herskovitz for a five day trip to the Bahamas aboard the Disney Dream. While the other guys were at sea, Layne got into some tech geekery for an interview with Lens Depot as part of their customer spotlight series.

Once they disembarked, they bade farewell to Max and scooped up Layne for a quick jaunt to Maryland.

.

Making a name

After a few quiet days at home, they met up with Winger again to sing the national anthem as the opening to Full Sail University's annual alumni Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

During a shopping trip the next day, Layne found a hat with surprisingly accurate embroidery. He joked that it "should have a question mark at the end", and his sister noted that a needle and thread could easily amend it. I'd argue that, like a lot of performing artists, they're more "situationally famous".

.

Frozen treats

The weekend took VoicePlay (again with Winger) north to St. Joseph, MN for a show attended by several longtime fans and local gent Chris Rupp.

sleepy Layne, Paul, and Erik heading north very early in the morning

.

Home time

Over next week, Layne, Tony, and Earl were busy filming PattyCake's next project, "Beauty and the Bieber", at several locations around Orlando. Meanwhile, Geoff and Kathy took advantage of the slight lull in their schedules and had a babymoon date night at a Take 6 / Manhattan Transfer concert.

But, of course, the VoicePlay momentum picked up again at their weekly planning meeting.

.

Ahoy-hoy

The week after that, they gathered up J.None and Max again for another loop around the Caribbean on the Disney Dream.

.

When they got home, they headed over to a local art school to perform at a fundraiser for their theater program. The lineup for the evening also included Brian Fortuna from Dancing with the Stars and Orshi Horvath, and a newly formed local boy band called the Beatline Boys.

.

Family time

The next few days were spent doing their own thing and marking some big milestones. Geoff and Kathy had their baby shower. Earl and Nick bought a new home.

.

Back to work

The final weekend of the season was bookended by video shoots with new collaborators. Friday saw them team up with theme park pal Matthew Darren for a club jam mashup, while Monday brought a peppy breakup song with Broadway performer John Pinto, Jr.

.

Once those were in the can, it was time to hit the road again, but that's a story for a another time.

Responses to "Is there hope?" (via @Samantharhill--and the ensuing thread--on X):

Franz Kafka: Yes, but not for us.

Hannah Arendt: Dreams never do come true.

Walter Benjamin: It's only for those without hope that hope is given.

Max Horkheimer: I do not believe that things will turn out well, but the idea that they might is of decisive importance.

Theodor Adorno: No.

Slavoj Žižek: to those who say “there is light at the end of the tunnel”, I say “yes, and that is probably a train coming in the opposite direction”.

Elie Wiesel: I invent it.

Okay, and according to Storygraph:

My longest book was Three Axes to Fall at 806 pages

My most read authors were: Tamara Pierce, Martha Wells, and Rachel Aaron. Which is due to re-reads. I re-read 16 books this year.

My average rating was 4.14 out of 5.

I read the most in June.

I read 41 new-to-me authors.

52 of the books I read were part of series.

So, I guess, feel free to ask me any questions.

Happy New Year!

{ 18+ indie. RP blog mainly centered around an elderly Billy┃semi-selective (no minors, please.)┃sporadic activity (replies will be slow!) ┃Penned by mun Klaue┃multi-muse/verse/ship RP blog: viciouslyfilthy (READ THE RULES BEFORE INTERACTING.)┃I follow back from my main: burgerrat! }

RULES + FAQ BELOW.

GUIDELINES:

While I am still unsure of what route to take this blog towards, since I made it in the first place for my own comfort, for now I would prefer to keep it's audience as 18+ only, as the blog touches on heavy subjects and adult topics. If you're underage I kindly ask that you do not interact. Otherwise, you will be blocked.

I will allow non-RP blogs to send asks and follow me on this blog but you are not allowed to spam likes on my posts or start a RP thread with my muse. Please respect that.

Usual blacklisted things: racism, p//dophilia, inc//st, pro-ship, antisemism, pro-life/anti-abortion, homophobia, transphobia or any LGBTQ+phobia of any kind will not be tolerated and you will be blocked on the spot.

Any form of infantilization/demonization/belittling/romanticization of //ssault or any other type of physical abuse, s//lf h//rm, or any mental condition will not be tolerated, which will also result in an instant block.

This blog involves an ocxcanon ship, if you're bothered by that because you think it's 'cringe' or other reasons of your own, I invite you to unfollow and/or block.

FAQ:

1. WHAT IS THIS INTERPRETATION OF THE CHARACTER?

This is an older/senior interpretation of the slasher character Billy Lenz from Black Christmas 1974! It is mainly based off of the audio commentary of the movie where Nick Mancuso reprises his role as Billy years later.

This interpretation of Billy has been institutionalized, and he has successfully made a positive recovery (enough to at least be able to be allowed out in the world again and become a functioning memeber of society.) He is currently an eccentric elderly man who works at a theatre, lives in some neighborhood forgotten by the world in Toronto, with his 2-3 cats and his partner.

Despite having been treated and being on medication, he still has a tendency to sometimes go out of his way to break into other people's attics and either steal food from them or people-watch in the creepiest way possible, or make one or two weird prank calls just for a reaction. Not enough for someone to have a reason to report to the police, but enough for him to find it entertaining. His habit of making calls and entering others' attics specifically is now less of a disturbed impulse to re-live his past and more of a ritual he feels compelled to do from time to time, kind of like an odd holiday tradition. Thankfully, he often just stays in his own attic when he feels this urge, mainly because of two reasons: his sundowning syndrome, and side effects caused by some of his medication.

2. WHAT TIMELINE IS THIS UNIVERSE TAKING PLACE IN?

The timeline of this universe takes place 20 years after the original events of the movie. This interpretation of the Moaner lives in the early 90's, more specifically, 1994. He is currently 59 years old (pushing 60).

Just something to keep in mind if you'll reference modern things or pieces of media in asks, as my muse likely won't understand them because timeline-wise it doesn't exist yet.

3. WHO ARE THE OTHER CHARACTERS LISTED?

(OC RAMBLING BEWARE!)

They are OCs of mine! We have Elis and his headmates: Jessica, Max, Benedict and Conductor (this character has DID/OSDD, just for clarification); and one other side character oc that may not be very present since I'm still unsure of what to do with him, but he plays a part in Elis' backstory so... I've decided to include him here for now: Gabriel.

Elis is Billy's partner! They ended up in the same mental insitution and after being released they decided to live together. He's awfully introverted but he is just as eccentric once you get to know him and his obsession for insects- specifically centipedes.

Jessica is Elis' closest friend, a wannabe singer and actress. She sees Billy as a friend, although she envies how much better his acting skills are compared to hers.

Maxwell is a grouchy old man and a fragmented recreation of Elis' late abusive father. He dislikes basically anything that isn't reading, and practically just wants to be left alone. Billy makes him umcomfortable (much to his sadness) therefore he tends to avoid him.

Benedict is- well, also an old man but he's more of a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. He's sort of like a happy ragdoll- whatever you do to him he just lets it happen. Kind of like those kitten videos. He views Billy the same way Elis does- a partner. Although he's noticeably awkward when it comes to show displays of affection because he's not used to how 'feral' Billy's personality is.

Finally, we have the Conductor. He's a kid that LOVES trains of all kinds. Daydreams of being a train conductor of his own toy trains somehow (and real trains). He's a menace to toystores that have functioning toy trains for sale. (He's almost verbatim based off of the song 'My Trains' by Lemon Demon). He doesn't tend to interact with Billy or anyone else that isn't Jessica, he finds her at least fun to interact with and talk about his trains. Everyone else he labels 'too boring' or 'too weird'.

The last one to be named would be Gabriel. He's a whole other separate character that has nothing to do with Elis or Billy's story. Like I aaid earlier, I want to experiment with the guy on this blog and see if I like having him here since he does take part in Elis' story. An average cat lover and a peculiar painter who's always looking for new muses to make into pieces of art (quite literally, he kidnaps his victims and turns them into grotesque pieces of 'art'), and eventually (backstory-wise) his eyes fall on Elis.

4. WHAT BECAME OF AGNES?

Agnes is alive and far away from her brother in this universe. She has successfully fled from Billy back when he first snapped and locked her in their parents' basement.

She grew up in an orphanage, and eventually when she became an adult she went to live on her own; now she works at a lonely coffee shop that really only has two frequent customers, one of which she has developed an interest for.

5. WHY ARE BARB AND JESS INCLUDED?

In this universe, Barb has survived Billy's attack! It has caused some cardiac issues, but ultimately she survived. She and Jess obviously still have contact, and more often than not Jess checks up on her friend, as she feels this odd sense of responsibility over Barb's well-being after the murders that shook both of them up all those years back. They tend to meet and chat at a particular coffee place they both enjoy.

While these two are mostly just meant to be side characters that might pop up from time to time, I am indeed interested in writing them, fleshing out and exploring their characters more!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

andie, max and noah.

they totally sleep with noah spooning andie and max spooning noah, a nice lil spoon train with noah in the middle  — like 80% of the time. the other 10% would be when andie is in the middle and she’ll lie facing noah and the other 10% would be when max is super tired after working real hard and crashes in the middle of the bed, meaning they both get to cuddle up to him. 

thea and dustin.

i feel like they’ve broken up like... seven times. not that it lasts anymore than five minutes before they’re back together and fucking. 

xavier and dominic.

xavier, when feeling particularly sappy, will get little gifts and stuff sent to the office for dominic when he’ll conveniently be around to see him opening them. are all of them totally office appropriate? no.

lennon and kai.

lennon absolutely did everything in his power to constantly distract kai when he was trying to study while they dated... he’s needy. 

eli and erik.

the first time they fucked it was likely because they’d been chilling and eli had been teasing him for ages and then he casually suggested erik went down on him and, surprise, he did. 

For each “⭐️” I get, I’ll write a headcanon about our muses.

[heartfullofxfright]

@babyitsmagic sent: ❛ an eternity with you would never satisfy me. ❜ - hello max is feeling a little sappy tonight so have this for eli

it's rare for max to be so openly sentimental and it catches eli off guard, but he recovers pretty quickly. after all, he feels the same way about her and some times, like right now, the feelings can seem overwhelming. they have forever and somehow, he wants more. he moves to cup her face and leans down, kissing her fiercely. he thinks max knows him well enough to know that this is his way of letting her know how he feels.

[babyitsmagic]

@heartfullofxfright​​ sent: “but you're here. so stay.” for max from eli!!

they’ve had this conversation so many times over the years. all the reasons it won’t work, can’t work, doesn’t work. all the obligations that kept them apart. but so many of those things have changed. they’re not pirates anymore, not so much rivals. they could be-- might be again. but right now? they’re just old flames. they have a history-- of trust and betrayal and doubt and competition. she could leave. maybe she should. but like he said, she’s here. so why not stay?

her lips draw into a soft smile. “i think you’re goin’ soft on me, lambert.” and she can’t bring herself to be upset about it. “but y’know... i could stick around.” there’s a pause before she admits, “for a while.” it’s an invitation. if he wants more than one night, for once, she’s willing to try it. maybe eli’s not the only one going soft.

everyone deserves a fresh start — especially the residents of hawkins, indiana . some are beginning to question if the town is cursed but an unlucky few know the truth about the seemingly - quaint town . after being plagued by tragedy and defeating the mind flayer , everyone is hoping that their suffering has come to an end ... but living in hawkins is never that easy . despite the current lull , they can only wonder if the chaos is finally over or if what’s to come could be worse than what they’ve conquered in the past . 

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲.

a canon - divergent and head - canon enthused stranger things roleplay taking place after the events of season three , leading into the events of season four . all muns and muses must be 20+ , canon and original muses are permitted , standard rules of etiquette apply . mutuals and/or those who liked the previous interest post will be given preference . 

𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬.

standard rules apply . we’re adults and we know the basics  !

( 1 ) no ooc drama , no godmodding , no ship chasing , no bubble roleplaying .  keep negativity / rants in the chat minimal . i am here for you if something is wrong but please be mature about your complaints and concerns . if you cause ooc drama , you’ll be removed with NO WARNING .

( 2 ) mature themes are likely going to be present in this verse so be mindful before applying . please censor triggering material and mark channels as nsfw , if necessary . muns, muses and faceclaims must be 20+ . ideally for the younger group , they’re between the ages of twenty and twenty - one with the older group being twenty - two or twenty - three . 

( 3 ) as stated in the interest post , i do want to keep this on the small and intimate side but i don’t have a mun cap in mind . you’re allowed to play three muses . due to the lack of diversity within the show , i highly encourage thinking outside the box with fcs for the younger group since their faceclaims can’t be used and being as diverse as possible when bringing in original characters . at least ONE of your muses MUST be gender - diverse or a person of color .

( 4 ) although real life always comes first , please don’t join if you are not able to adequately contribute to the group . this will be a collaborative space with no activity limit ... don’t take advantage of that . since this group is set in the 80s , one - liners and paras will be preferred . i will allow occasional text threads due to convenience ( we’ll use our imagination and pretend it’s a quick walkie talkie convo or something ) but face - to face - interactions should get precedence .

1. I have added Felix Wolf (Max Riemelt fc) - retired military, is an artist (paints primarily) - sexuality: pansexual

2. Added Elias “Eli” Wolf (Rudy Pankow fc) - younger brother to Felix, musician (drums for a band but also plays guitar, piano, and can sing) - sexuality: bisexual (leans more toward women)

3. About to add an Oliver Stark fc: figuring out the semantics of his career. Pretty sure his first name will be Pierce. (Sexuality will be bisexual)

That being said, I know I have a billion threads, but I wouldn’t mind more, and if you’d like to write with one of them please let me know.

Thanks a ton!

[ txt from eli ]: Is the roommate pizza party night idea that I just had my idea or was it your idea that you wanted me to ask you? 😜

[ txt from brooklyn ]: If I wanted you to have a pizza party, I would have just made you have one.

[ txt from brooklyn ]: It's not a bad idea, however.

[ txt from brooklyn ]: You should probably ask Max.
