#a devil's duet

[willosword]

the vees take up such a unique antagonistic role in hazbin. they're so silly and pathetic except in specific bursts of competence. but even those moments are overshadowed by the way they just brute force everything. vox lost his own diss track against alastor. velvette didn't even do anything with the information she gathered at the overlord meeting. the more valentino lashes out like a child the more he loses control of angel. the person they picked to infiltrate the hotel ended up becoming its very proof of concept. they sung gleefully about the power vaccuum created by alastor's absence only for alastor to reappear 30 seconds later. what are they even doing. they're like an extremely unhinged team rocket

#i can't stop thinking about how silly the vox and val duet is now. like #MY DUDES. WHAT POWER VACCUMM?? the hotel just GAINED an ally and that ally is The Devil Himself #they're so so stupid. they pass around one braincell like hot potato #hazbin hotel spoilers #hazbin hotel #willow whispers

Something that The Amazing Devil does so beautiful is that even though a lot of their songs are very wordy they don't rush or skip over the rests in-between. And my favorite examples of this are Elsa's Song and Old Witch Sleep/Good Man Grace, because in old with/good man the beggining is so nice because they put so much pauses between each phrase and even parts like the "Sleep now, oh, she said" there is this smallest rest between the "Now" and "Oh" and it's so subtle but if you don't do that rest it's very very noticeable because your just slurring these two (almost) very short phrases of their own. Then in Elsa's Song l love how the tempo and when they come in, is almost dragging, they are coming in at the very last second of the beat and it makes the tone of the song so so so good

#gosh i could go on #i had to write this down because i was writing a fanfic and listening to them but all this wouldn't get out of my head #virus rambling #the amazing devil #i dont know it anyone has ever played/performed the lakme Flowers Duet #but it reminds me of Elsa's song in a complete opposite manner because that one you have to take the quickest breath of a rest #and a retake but the piece itself sounds very slow but playing it is not slow at all #Elsa's song gives that same dynamic effect and iwbxjshdjxbjxdjchshbxkxfjdhsg #okay im done back to fanfic writing

the things you put in ur burlesque insp tag always rly interests me. my concept of burlesque is only limited to very stereotypical portrayals of it but the thinggggs you tag are like opening up my mind like I want to know more about ur burlesque

thank you! i'm approaching one year of doing it (with a very amazing queer and body-diverse troupe) and didn't really know much about burlesque before, and i've only recently realized that my local scene is not the typical cultural association people have with "burlesque." the choreo we do has been pretty diverse; in group acts we've done classic burlesque, neo-burlesque, specific attitudes like a "trash animal" act where we were a cult of trash animals (eg. possum, squirrel, bear, raccoon, cat, etc.), other examples are a fruit basket (lol)--I was a lemon (lol), clowns, etc. it's always a lot of fun.

we have a lot of crossover with the local drag king group so there's also a lot of draglesque, butchfemme duets, stuff like that. our mc is always a drag king pretty much. most of our solo performers in the big quarterly shows we do are women in their 30s-40s, a lot of chubby milfs, the producer/founder of our troupe is involved in the midwest fatlesque scene, and though our troupe is mostly white, she invites in a lot of black solo performers in from other places in the midwest, which is cool.

personally, i'm pretty new but i have done a few solos at our smaller shows at the club; my first was cowboy improv with pink lingerie, then i did a sparkly drag act to perfume genius, and my most recent one was a blood cryptid to siouxie and the banshees. rn my costumes are pretty simple because i'm not talented at costume-making and don't have the money for expensive materials, but that's what the insp tag is for, i love seeing a fashion shoot and going "hmm there's some interesting vibes going on here...i wonder what this would look like in a striptease" lmao. especially since my act/persona is kinda of a creepy/scary vibe:)

#thank you for asking this i loooooove talking about burlesque haha #one of my favorite acts at the recent show was a priest x devil duet btwn our producer (the devil) and a trans guy (priest) it was 🔥 #as im always saying my lesbian mutuals would love our shows because y'all would go crazy over the milfs #burlesque #draglesque #letters #skiploomz #enzo tag #lmk if you would prefer i use your sideblog name for mutual tag instead lol

Honestly though saying (or implying) that vocaloid or vocal synths in general "devalues the human voice" is SUCH an incredibly shit take for SO many reasons.

Like yeah Saki Fujita getting so many other roles in voice acting because of her contribution to Hatsune Miku (the anime cameos and stuff are usually done with her original voice, them modified to be robotic) is a bit of an outlier when most other vocaloid and sythns don't have that influence.

You can even sort of wave off the dozens upon dozens of people who go for realistic tuning- like whenever a synth has any sort of clarity, there are like five people commenting about how real they sound. Clearly people do still care about human sounding vocals, because they go nuts over realistic vtuning.

There are many different aspects of vocaloid that use human voices, too- from Set It Off's duet "Why Do I?", human rap artists using Miku's vocals as background, and the entire CONCEPT of Project Sekai which releases AND COMMISSIONS songs for vocal synths and real people.

But the sheer number of vocaloid producers who use their own vocals as back up (MikitoP, PinoochioP, and I believe Kira off the top of my head), the number of producers who can sing and/or do self covers (again Kira, GIGA, Ayase, Teniwoha, syudou and so many more), and the amount of vocal producers who have gone forward with legit musical careers after working with vocaloid (Kenshi Yonezu, most notably, who did work for years under the alias Hachi)

I mean, hell. There are vocaloid producers who go on to become vocaloid vocals themselves- like nostraightanswer, the vocal provider for DEX, who has made both vocaloid and original songs. Some even duets.

That's not even including creators like JubyPhonic, Rachie, Will Stenson, Lollia, Octavia, Razzy and Co., and SO many other HUMAN cover artists who gained following or honed their skills on none other than vocaloid covers. (And that's just a handful of English Cover artists, not like Sati Akura a Russian cover artist or Ado who has commissioned songs from vocaloid artists)

It's also not including UTAUites who input their own voices to use for covers.

"Devalues the human voice" is such blatant bs. They ARE human voices. They are OUR voices. "You'd think by now that we would have learned, behind every piece if art is a human to be heard." (- CircusP, 'Better Off Worse')

#and another thing #about bad faith interpretations #'it isn't that creative' #is just astronomically funny to me #because oh yeah I forgot how Detrimental (Maki ft. Big Al) sounds EXACTLY like Afraid Of Everything (Luka) and Better Off Worse (vFlower) #and Misery Loves Company (DEX) which are all by the same creator Circus-P #Usseewa sounds EXACTLY like Idiot and Cute Girlfriend (sydou) #Piece Of Art sounds exactly like Machine Gun and Games and Boom! Boom! Boom! (Kira) #hell even producers like DECO and wowaka who have styles that they tend to follow still sound differeng #Rollin Girl. Unknown Mother Goose. Two Faced Lovers- they're all distinct songa #Animal. Cinderella. Vampire. Zombies. and other DECO songs from the same line are still all uniquely different #hell 'no creativity'? #say that to (Not) A Devil where Miku duets HERSELF in the tuning style of two different producers (DECO*27 and Pinocchio P) #the people making duet covers with UTAU and VSythn Teto #vocaloid has always been a haven for creatives #for the artists who draw. the designers who make outfits. tuners. lyricists. MV makers. cover artists. #I'd say there's never been a more cohesively creative community #which is a little biased but genuinely #there's such an incredible outreach from the community as it grows #as it has grown

Wanna know something I'm wondering about?

Dice and the devil.

You get the premise pretty easily, showman makes a deal with the devil for fame and power and it usually only lasts so long.

And we see that happen in season 3, spoilers for season 3 so yeah.

Dice looses his radio show after a considerable amount of destruction from cuphead. Then had a 'falling out' with the devil after failing to catch him in the corn maze.

And he lives in an alley, but why? I get what the show tells us but he bounces right back as soon as he get cleaned up and is back on stage it's like nothing changed.

When the devil finds him, he's pretty miffed.

BUT THEN, he has a contract ready to trick cuphead to gift his souls to the devil. Presenting it like it was a months long plan. (Which it obviously wasn't but good save)

Also, Dice has no fear of the devil. He's pleasantly surprised that he's there. Presenting his latest plan like the sneaky showman he is.

Even after this new plan flops, Dice is welcomed back to hell.

Likely to be seen in season 4, whenever the team has had a good break and is ready to make more of this masterpiece.

If there's any other cool stuff worth talking about, I'd be happy to hear it.

My Fiction

These stories are fanfics, but all of them give you enough context to catch you up to speed on the relevant canon -- they’re made to be fandom-blind friendly.

Silent Partner, Unfinished Business

They told Naomi Misora she was dead for three minutes when paramedics revived her. She sure didn't feel alive. She couldn't even remember coming back to Japan, much less Kira taking her fiance, much less Kira sending her to suicide, maiming her and robbing her brain of speech. She had almost given up hope of recovery until a mysterious figure gave the promise of revenge: the chance to kill those who wronged her, if only she can find them.

Aphasic and adrift, Naomi's going to join the Kira investigation to win her life back. She's going to help Misa Amane discover who she is, and discover a connection with her. She's going to make Light Yagami have to think on his feet, and present him with a new opportunity. She's going to solve some serious problems for L, and then make some serious problems for L. And she's going to make a hell of a lot of things get a lot more complicated.

A tense, twisty, action-packed psychological thriller mystery about romance, revenge, redemption, and the Kuleshov effect. Recommended for anyone who liked Death Note, didn’t like Death Note, or didn’t see Death Note. 

Has a romance-focused sequel (that may or may not be an AU) called Misa Amasora’s Pure Love Memorial.

Duet in SSS-Major

Kyrie awakens with strange demonic familiars inside a phantasmagoria of battles past, with no idea of how she got there. A single lock of white hair displays the trace of demon blood that resides within her now, an old project the Order called "Soprano Angelo". Great demon lords amass power inside a land of regrets, trying to earn the ability to return to life -- and with Dante and Vergil in the Underworld and Nero captive, it's going to be up to Lady, Trish, Lucia, Nico, and yes, even Kyrie, to save Nero and defend the human world once again.

But does she have the strength to fight demons just like her beloved? Did she willingly accept demonic power in order to bring back the Order of the Sword? Will her faith in Sparda carry her through the fires of perdition? Can the wholesome, motherly church girl also be a stylish Devil Hunter?

Can Kyrie attain true power?

A Devil May Cry fic that can serve as your introduction to the Devil May Cry  game series or the stylish action genre in general -- a story where everything happens for in-character reasons yet also clearly is an expression of a video game. Kyrie is going to feel what you feel when you flub an input, get your ass kicked by a boss and run around the arena breaking objects for health refills, overuse that new move you unlocked when you really shouldn’t, feel awed by a much better co-op partner, figure out the extent of her moveset, learn from her mistakes, learn to apply tricks she heard about, and learn to finally git gud and master the game.

She’s also going to be tagged along by two adorably boneheaded artificial demon familiars, co-op with the whole cast, solve mysteries that didn’t need solving, and engage in musical theater duels. She sings a lot. So much so that I composed her own DMC-style battle theme.

Give these a look, I think you’ll like them!

I find it kind of ironic that some of my favorite and most feminist lines came from some of the darkest characters

“Give me a little credit,” he scoffs. “Whatever else I may be, I was never a man who had to tear a woman down to shine bright beside her. If you’re not as good as me, then you’re no good at all. And when I saw you, Mara … I thought, this girl is really fucking good. I don’t want to hold you down, chop you down, diminish you in any way. I already know I found something special. Now it’s time for everyone else to see it.”

- Cole Blackwell (There Is No Devil by Sophie Lark)

"You teach your daughter to hide in everyone else's world," I shot back, "and I'll teach mine everyone else exists in her. Go fuck yourself, and leave the kid alone."

- Damon Torrance (Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas)

I know these characters did terrible things but just for these lines I will forgive them everything 🤩

Ps. Just realized it's almost been a year since I last posted 🫢

hrmmmm many thoughts about the april fools prsk event. it was good. i just think that if you Were going to put all the boys in a group and you Had to choose a vbs song, drop pop candy would’ve been funnier. i could’ve also seen people put akito in the 3d mv and literally what’s better than that

#project sekai #i’m putting it in the main tag because i’m objectively right on this one #‘they should’ve done doctor funk beat’ ‘devil’s manner!’ you’re all missing the big picture here #i mean april fools is supposed to be funny right. what’s funny about the overplayed sex song #i also just really like drop pop candy so i’m biased but still my point stands #i think it also mashes together wxs’s baseline genre of ‘technically not clown pop music’ #and vbs’s edm & hip hop well enough #(disregarding the general tone of ruikasa duets of course)
