WOO MORE FANART AND THIS TIME IT'S SILHOUETTES WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING I NORMALLY DO SO IT'S QUITE BARE BUT IT'S STILL FANART SO YAY

WOO MORE FANART AND THIS TIME IT'S SILHOUETTES WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING I NORMALLY DO SO IT'S QUITE BARE

it's slightly blurry but still

A continuation of the previous ficlet.

***

After the initial shock of Geoff sprouting wings had worn off, Eli gently shook Geoff until his eyes opened. His head rolled for a few seconds but he finally found Eli. "...What happened?"

"...You passed out," Eli said gently. "How do you feel?"

"Terrible. My whole body hurts." Geoff closed his eyes and wiped at his head in irritation.

"Can you sit up?"

"Not yet."

"Okay. Just lay there a while."

"Okay." Geoff tried to roll over onto his back, but the wings were in the way. "...What am I laying on?"

Eli looked up at the others, not knowing how to answer. Tony made a helpless gesture and Layne cleared his throat. "Roll over the other way."

Geoff rolled over onto his stomach and his wings spread out on either side of him. "I feel so damn weird." He reached out with his right arm, and he froze as his fingertips brushed a wing. His eyes went wide, and he slowly turned his head to see the outstretched wing to his right.

"It's okay," Eli said quickly, putting a hand on Geoff's shoulder. He felt like a fool, but he didn't know what else to do. "Just stay calm."

Geoff slowly turned his head to his left and saw the other wing. His eyes got even wider before rolling back, and he went limp on the floor.

Eli sighed. "He's out again."

"Well," Layne said, "at least he's calm."

***

Geoff came to about half an hour later and they managed to get him to a changing room and sit him in a chair. Geoff could only sit and stare at his reflection in the dressing mirror in bewilderment and disbelief.

Why couldn't I have angel wings instead? With nice pretty fluffy feathers? And to make matters worse, black horns were growing on his head, and his fingernails were turning into black claws. What's happening to me?

Layne knocked on the door frame. "Hey. You doing all right?"

Geoff looked over at him. "No." He looked back at the mirror. "We're...we're sure I'm awake."

"Unless I'm having the same dream." Layne came over. "Eli and Cesar went to break the news to Kathy."

"What!" Geoff turned his body to face Layne and nearly toppled from the chair as the wings threw him off balance. He grabbed the back of the chair to steady himself. "Kath can't find out about this!"

"How are you going to keep it from her?"

"I..." Geoff's voice trailed off, and he hung his head. How could he keep Kathy from finding out? He couldn't hide in PattyCake for the rest of his life. "...I don't know what to do, Layne."

"We'll figure something out."

"Yeah..." He looked back to the mirror in frustration. He just wanted to be himself again...

A shock went through his body and he gagged from the sudden pressure in his torso. When his eyes cleared he looked in the mirror to see himself as he had been before all this started. The heat returned as the pressure in his chest built to an intolerable level, and he was finally forced to let it go. The sensation of the wings and horns regrowing was highly unpleasant, and he couldn't stop the shudder that racked his body.

Layne grabbed his shoulders. "Are you okay?"

"For the second time, no." He swallowed back vomit.

"What happened?"

"I...I was thinking about how I wanted to be myself again, and then that."

Layne's face lit up. "You can change at will! That's great!"

"Layne, I can't hold it!"

"So you need some practice. It's better than before, right?"

Geoff sighed, tired, and rubbed his face. "I guess so."

Layne's phone went off then, and Layne pulled it out of his pocket. "It's Eli. He's video calling." He answered. "Hey Eli. What's up?"

"Hey Layne." Eli's voice was concerned. "Is Geoff awake?"

"Yeah, he is. Did you tell Kathy?"

"Well...not yet. There's a problem."

"Problem?" Geoff asked. "What problem?"

"See for yourself." A second later Layne's free hand went to his mouth, and he handed the phone to Geoff.

Eli had given the phone to Kathy, and Geoff gasped as he saw her--with horns and wings identical to his own, except a soft shade of gray. Kathy's mouth dropped as she saw Geoff, and for a few seconds all husband and wife could do was stare at each other.

***

Layne began to worry when ten seconds passed in complete silence. He wasn't even sure Geoff had blinked. "Hey, Geoff..."

Geoff's eyes rolled back and the phone clattered to the ground as he fell out of his chair. Layne sighed as he picked up his phone, which showed Geoff's living room ceiling. "Well, Geoff's out again."

"Yeah," Eli said. "So is Kathy."

when i was first getting into VoicePlay, i watched a whole bunch of compilations and things, and most of what i knew of Mortius was the 'No, No! I was not ready, thank you for asking!' clip from his Friends On The Other Side reaction and i just mentally dubbed him

That Twink Who Wasn't Ready

and i say this now affectionately but was i very wrong

The scales are less obvious in reality but you get the idea

Layne, sad because Geoff is taller than him.

FALLINGBLUEROSES

DRAGON GEOFF + KATHY

I AM SO

AUTISTIC

ABOUT THIS

YOU HAVE NO IDEA

POV:

FANART GO GO GO

THE MOOSE FOUND YOU

@fallingblueroses FANART WOOO

The bedroom was dark, but Geoff didn't need light as he lay on his side and watched his wife and son sleep. Kathy had an arm wrapped around William and was holding him close. The house was silent except for the hum of the air conditioner and the occassional car passing outside. They had decided to keep William home from school the next day and turned off their alarms for the morning. He doubted anyone expected them to be at PattyCake.

Kathy had calmed down immensely after she had her baby in her arms, and seeing Kathy calm had gone a long way toward calming Geoff's nerves. William had taken things far better than they'd expected. He'd stared at them for several seconds as he processed things, then he'd climbed into Geoff's lap and asked "So you can fly now?"

He'd had to laugh. "I don't know. I haven't tried." When he thought about it, it would be a shame to have wings like this and then they not work.

He and Kathy had both worked on reverting to their human form. For some reason it seemed to be easier for her even though, like Geoff, she couldn't hold it for long. William had simply watched in fascination before asking if he'd grow wings too. And again, all Geoff could say was that he didn't know.

He listened to his family breathing and nagging worries began to eat at him. What if the changes weren't done? What would happen to William if they became full dragons or demons or whatever? And even if they didn't, how would they explain this to their relatives? What about their work? And what if...what if they were taken away by some government agents or scientists for "study"? Geoff shuddered as he imagined himself and Kathy chained up in cells, being stuck with needles and having bits of tissue cut from them.

Stop. You'll drive yourself crazy. He took a deep breath and slowly released it before moving closer to his wife and son. He put an arm around them, then carefully brought one wing up to cover and protect his family and tucked his head in close to Kathy's.

He kept listening to them breathe as he fell asleep.

***

Geoff's body felt far calmer when he woke up the next morning. He drew his wing back and got out of bed, careful not to wake his family. Yesterday his wings had felt like sandbags hanging from his back, but as he stood up they felt lighter, more natural. He barely noticed the extra weight as he walked to the bathroom.

The horns weren't as frightening as they had been when he looked in the mirror. His eyes had gone from hazel to tawny, and his hair was fuller and longer, hanging past his shoulders. He studied his reflection for a long time, then looked down at his hands with their claws. Yesterday he'd been ready to cut the tips of his fingers off to get rid of the claws, but today...I guess I'm getting used to things...Wonder if I'll be able to play the piano with these...

His wings wouldn't quite fit in the shower comfortably, but he was able to hold his human form long enough to clean up. Once he was dressed he went to the kitchen to cook breakfast. He was absolutely ravenous, and he had to assume Kathy would be as well. They had plenty of food on hand for now, but... How am I supposed to get groceries like this? Maybe I can ask one of the guys to go shopping for me...

A few minutes later his phone beeped twice with notifications, and when Geoff checked his phone he saw the texts were from Layne. Hey Geoff. Look at this. There was a video attatched, titled "'Dragon Syndrome' Reported In 13 States".

He blinked as he played the video. The reporter was shown for a few seconds, then a map of the United States was displayed with various states marked in red. "Thirteen states have reported what is for now being called 'Dragon Syndrome', with people actually growing dragon-like wings, horns, and claws. There is very little information about this, but the Center for Disease Control is asking that anyone experiencing this go to the nearest emergency room for testing..."

Geoff growled to himself. Yeah, right. Not happening. If the government wants us they can come and get us. He wasn't sure if this made things better or worse. He couldn't help but think of how things had spiraled into insanity when the COVID pandemic had hit.

Another thought came to him. If it was some kind of virus...He texted Layne back. You're not growing wings, are you?

Nope. I'm fine.

Good. Hopefully the others were as well. Geoff put the phone away and kept making breakfast as his mind went over this new development.

***

After breakfast Geoff showed Kathy Layne's text, and Kathy looked up more articles as William helped Geoff clean the kitchen. "This one says it's in nineteen states now," she said from her seat at the kitchen table.

Geoff sighed as he rinsed a plate and handed it to William to put in the dishwasher. "Great. It's spreading."

Kathy frowned. "But if it's a disease of some kind, then a cure can be found."

"Yeah, but that could take years. I keep thinking about everything that could happen. People might panic, Kath. And if they do things are going to go to hell pretty quick."

"This isn't the Dark Ages, Geoff. People do crazy stuff to their bodies all the time. What we have is nothing compared to some of the pictures I've seen."

He pointedly flexed his wings. "Seen anyone walking around with wings lately? It just takes a few lunatics to get the pitchforks and torches going." A strong need to protect his wife and son rose in his chest. "And there are people who would stir up that kind of trouble just to watch stuff burn."

Kathy studied his face, then came up to him. "I know. But there's so many other things to think about. Why don't we worry about that when it starts to happen." She hugged him and rested her head on his chest.

Geoff sighed. "Right." He put his arm around her. A glance to the side showed William staring at them and he beckoned for him. William came up and hugged them both, and Geoff brought his wings up and around to cover them again. He wondered how that gesture had come so naturally to him, but decided not to think too hard about it. At least not right now.

wanting more fandoms to know about VoicePlay is such a fucking gamble because if the new fandoms start interacting with the VoicePlay community it will result in one of two things

either the two fandoms are pleasant and nice to each other

OR

the new fandom is shit and ridiculously toxic and destroys the VoicePlay community from the inside

like of all the fandoms i have been in, this is how i would rank them.

(also i'm exposing myself here but)

the higher the percent, the more i would trust the fans

Sanders Sides, 100%

HTTYD, 70-80%

RoTG, 75-80%

PJO, 50-90%

HP, the author is a piece of shit, I no longer interact with this fandom, 20-50%

ANY ANIME EXCEPT Haikyuu!, 5-10%

Haikyuu!, 50-75%

Hermitcraft + Life series + Empires, 75%

another very popular SMP that i will NOT be naming because i don't want the toxicity from the fans, 0%

Some of the above people's chats, can be good sometimes, just very... forceful? i guess? 40-50%

now. this is a risky one because there is a decent amount of overlap between this and the super popular SMP, but CORPSE HUSBAND and The Amigops' fanbase is, again, forceful, but honestly i reckon they'd do well. and because of CORPSE's voice, they would be used to Geoff. and a reactor has already made a comparison between Geoff and CORPSE so, like, maybe a 10-50%?

FNaF, here's the thing. probably not the best idea. BUT. i really want to hear VoicePlay cover some of the fan songs because they are genuinely some of the best songs i've heard. 10-20%

Subnautica, 70-80%

Little Nightmares, OHOHOUH FUCK YES. VOICEPLAY. COVER NIGHTMARES NEVER END OR HUNGRY FOR ANOTHER ONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. 90%

Sonic, by far one of the least problematic ones in this list. Snapcube my beloved. Werehog Sonic my beloved. Sonic Underground my beloved. 95-100%

Stardew Valley, it's chill, it's fun, it's sure as hell not straight, 100%

i am not going to tag all of these fandoms because some of them, i would just rather avoid.

Plot twist: Geoff IS listening

J: You're clearly not listening. I can say whatever I want.

Geoff: Mm-hmm. Tell me about it.

J: I murdered Layne last night.

Geoff: I feel you.

J: Now that I have a taste for blood, I can't stop killing.

Geoff: Been there.

I've already said it in a comment, but 'Dragon Syndrome' is not what I was expecting at all! Makes me wonder what caused this to happen... hmm... I still think Thomas the Moose might have something to do with it!

Aca Top 10: Disney Villains — VoicePlay music video

Many actors contend that it's more fun to play baddies who get to indulge their darker desires without regret. The same often applies in musicals, whether they're on stage or screen. Disney knows how to craft a good villain song. These are some of their most fun, slick, seductive, and dastardly.

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 – Disney Villains

original songs / performers: "Friends on the Other Side" by Keith David as Doctor Facilier in The Princess and the Frog (2009); [0:33] "Mother Knows Best" by Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel in Tangled (2010); [0:50] "Trust In Me" by Sterling Holloway as Kaa in The Jungle Book (1967); [1:08] "The Siamese Cat Song" by Peggy Lee as Si and Am in Lady and the Tramp (1955); [1:28] "Oogie Boogie's Song" by Ken Page as Oogie Boogie in The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993); [1:52] "Cruella De Vil" by Bill Lee as Roger Radcliffe in 101 Dalmatians (1961); [2:16] "Gaston" by Jesse Corti as LaFou & Richard White as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast (1991); [2:50] "Hellfire" by Tony Jay as Claude Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996); [3:06] "Poor Unfortunate Souls" by Pat Carroll as Ursula in The Little Mermaid (1989); [3:25] "Be Prepared" by Jeremy Irons as Scar in The Lion King (1994)

written by: "Friends on the Other Side" by Randy Newman; "Mother Knows Best" by Alan Menken & Glenn Slater; "Trust In Me" by Robert & Richard Sherman; "The Siamese Cat Song" by Peggy Lee & Sonny Burke; "Oogie Boogie's Song" by Danny Elfman; "Cruella De Vil" by George Bruns & Mel Leven; "Gaston" by Alan Menken & Howard Ashman; "Hellfire" by Alan Menken & Stephen Schwartz; "Poor Unfortunate Souls" by Howard Ashman & Alan Menken; "Be Prepared" by Elton John & Tim Rice

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci & Layne Stein

release date: 22 March 2019

My favorite bits:

Layne kicking things off with scampering percussion before settling into a swingy groove

J.None showing off his smooth lower range

the vibratto Earl puts on that final high ♫ "motheeer" ♫

both Eli and Layne doing snaky hand motions during "Trust In Me" 🐍

Geoff's big bass drops on ♫ "ey-yyyes" ♫ and the final ♫ "meee" ♫

that crunchy harmony on ♫ "don't pleeease" ♫

all the shenanigans with the tiny kitty figurine 🐈

getting a preview of the "Oogie Boogie" production to come

that funky take on the second half of "Cruella"

the back row's dubious reactions to Geoff asserting his intimidation factor in "Gaston" as Layne fixes his hair

the extended transition — ♫ "Gimme hip-to-hip" ♫ ::Eli and J start flossing:: 🕺 "Chapstick!" ::Earl holds up a tube::

the clever coordination of ♫ "[tur]-ning me to" ♫ and ♫ "number two" ♫ at the end of "Hellfire"

Layne's bubbly percussion during "Poor Unfortunate Souls"

Earl getting annoyed at J and Eli joining him on the lyrics of "Be Prepared" before they return to harmonies

the three octave unison between Geoff and Earl

that nice clean ending

title screen for VoicePlay's "Aca Top 10 – Disney Villains" music video — Eli, Earl, and J.None stand in the back row, wearing confused and frightened expressions. Geoff and Layne sit in front, with Geoff looking over at Layne as he stares straight into the camera. The window behind them is draped in sheer purple curtains. The stylized "Disney" logo runs up the lefthand side in bright yellow text, and "Villains" spans the bottom in large white letters.

Geoff has the fingers of his free hand pressed to his chin and his eyes wide in concern. Eli looks up into the camera lens over the top of his glasses with one eyebrow raised skeptically.

Trivia:

○ VoicePlay had recorded or performed several of these songs before.

They did a full version of "Cruella de Vil" in collaboration with Disney for the Diamond Edition release of 101 Dalmatians on Blu-ray. They also included an excerpt in their aca-Disney medley to celebrate 20 years of Disney shows on Broadway.

"Gaston" is part of their Beauty and the Beast medley, Tale As Old As Time, on their 2012 album "Once Upon an Ever After".

"Be Prepared" is part of their "OUaEA" Lion King medley, The King Has Returned. (That's also where the snippet over the end screen is from.)

"Mother Knows Best" was part of "The Story of Rapunzel" that they performed at Disney World's 2015 Social Media Moms Celebration.

○ They had also previously created a shorter villains medley including several of these songs for Jonathan Freedman as part of their Disney Sessions collaboration with the Aladdin stage cast.

○ Since this video was released, the guys have recorded longer versions of several more of these tunes.

"Friends on the Other Side" was their Halloween video for 2021, as well as their first reunion with J.None after he left to join the U.S. Navy Band.

"Oogie Boogie's Song" was their Halloween video later in this year.

"Poor Unfortunate Souls" was included in their Little Mermaid medley with Rachel Potter a year and a half later.

"Hellfire" was their Halloween video in 2023, also with J.None as the featured guest.

Geoff did a short of "Trust In Me" on his solo channel in 2024.

○ The guys' shirts are once again thematically appropriate.

Eli — Darth Vader from Star Wars in the style of Leonardo Da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" drawing

Earl — the face of Hades from Hercules in blue and purple linework with yellow eyes and teeth, surrounded by blue flames, all with a glow effect meant to imitate neon lights

J.None — a full-body portrait of Claude Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame with one hand extended to the side (I couldn't find the exact design, but I found one that's somewhat close and did a bit of editing to get it closer.)

Geoff — the stylized face of Scar from The Lion King

Layne — Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog mirrored in the style of a playing card, with glowing red cards floating near his outstretched fingers and his name on a banner across the middle

black t-shirt with an illustration of Darth Vader from "Star Wars" in the style of Da Vinci's "Vitrivian Man" drawing, and white handwritten text describing the character's backstory above and below
black t-shirt with the face of Hades from "Hercules" in blue and purple linework with yellow eyes and teeth, surrounded by blue flames, all with a glow effect meant to imitate neon lights
heather gray t-shirt with a full-body portrait of Claude Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame with one hand extended to the side 

** The portrait on J.None's shirt is slightly larger and includes facial features.
dark gray t-shirt with the face of Scar from "The Lion King", and African-inspired geometric designs in his mane
navy blue shirt with a portrait of Dr. Facilier from "The Princess and the Frog" mirrored in the style of a playing card, with glowing red cards floating near his outstretched fingers and his name on a banner across the middle

○ Geoff later mentioned in his interview on The Charismatic Voice that he'd considered auditioning for Gaston at Disney World when he worked there, but that the guys who play the role are usually four to six inches taller than him due to the costume and choreography required.

○ They garnered a bit of praise from prolific a cappella arranger Rob Dietz, who they'd met during The Sing-Off, and who would become a frequent collaborator in a few years.

◦ quoted tweet from VoicePlay — "We're counting down the TOP 10 DISNEY VILLAINS SONGS in one EPIC medley 😈. Can you GUESS what NUMBER 1 is?" [teaser video clip] — dated 22 March 2019
◦ quote tweet from Rob Dietz — "@geophr3y and @LayneStein don't get enough credit as arrangers – they do transitions like no other!" — dated 23 March 2019

○ An artist fan was inspired to create a gender bent version of Cruel-Layne De Vil.

drawing of Layne as Cruella De Vil — He gives the viewer a sidelong smirk, while wearing an ivory fur coat with a red lining over a white shirt and a gray necktie, vest, and trousers. His hands are covered by bright red gloves, one grasping the lapel of the coat, and the other dangling a long cigarette holder to the side. The background is alternating vertical stripes of burgundy and white with dark gray dalmatian-style spots. In the upper right corner, there is handwritten text reading "Sympathy for the De Vil" in white lettering with a burgundy drop shadow.

drawing by rtlndr_ on Instagram

○ The boys busted out some of their best evil laughs to further entertain their social media followers.

○ This is the final entry in a mini-series within their "Aca Top 10" series, which was preceded by countdowns for "Disney Heroes" and "Disney Sidekicks" over the previous year and a half.

So the fact that Geoff hit a B0 at all is ridiculous, let alone the fact that he hit it multiple times and held it for 10+ seconds each time, both in Valhalla Calling and the HALO cover

But the fact that he said it took him about 5 fucking hours to get it right (Not entirely sure which of the covers he was referring to, but I think it was Valhalla Calling?) is ridiculous

Because his voice must have been destroyed by that point

And HE STILL DID IT WITH THAT MUCH POWER??? LIKE SHUT???? CEASE?? HOW DO YOU DO THAT???????

Trying to hit a note that is that far below what he would normally do would be not particularly healthy if he did it for maybe half an hour

But for him to have done it for 5 hours? That is borderline insanity, but it worked and I don't understand how because he should not be able to do that. His voice should have been raspy as hell but it WASN'T.
