#mini maui

[imaginative-joy]

“I am Moana of Motonui and you will get in my X-Wing, fly across the galaxy, and restore the heart of Te Fiti!”

Here’s Jedi Moana! Since Moana is a voyager and travels using the stars as her guide, I thought it’d be fitting for her to be a pilot flying among the stars. Her lightsaber is inspired by her oar (complete with a Maui autograph) and the shell she leaves behind on Motonui… and the heart of Te Fiti as the kyber crystal! As for HeiHei… I thought about turning him into some Star Wars critter, but it just seems appropriate that no matter what universe he’s in, he’s just a chicken 😂

Also, Mini Maui made it into this piece!

🦈 This is one of my favorite drawings I’ve done. This is Sharkman Maui. In my copy of the “Art of Moana” book, I saw an early concept drawing of a bald-headed Maui, like the one you see here with the shark fin and tail. The gold bracelets are my homage to the Genie from “Aladdin” and somewhat of King Triton from “Little Mermaid”. The drawing I saw in the book was done by the late Dale Baer. 🌊🪝

Reference of my current sona :]

Ramble Mcshambles under the cut!!! sorry!!

blehhh he doesn't look like a miscolored enderboy anymore LMAO

he was always originally part enderman. I think those aspects of the design fizzled out till only the eyes remained intact to its Minecraft origins; since I made him to be my Minecraft skin originally (I unfortunately don't have screenshots or copies of the original skin anymore)

He's still an enderman I guess? just not traditionally. He's a mix between these two images I found years ago and I sorta headcanoned them as my sona's parents because I thought it was funny

(The blue enderman was uploaded online anonymously and the enderman on the right was presumably uploaded by itofuko on Deviantart but it seems that their account doesn't exist anymore)

He eventually started losing those enderman roots in his design and started becoming his own thing though (like i said earlier) so if anything, him being part enderman is merely just factual and not really the entire point of the design anymore.

I think it's mostly the stripes that took over, the cat hoodie is a separate character. They're morphed by little cat that can phase into and possess objects and become one with them. the old designs had a cat head on Tai's shirt, initially, the creature was supposed to work like a "mini maui". a design that was supposed to become sentient from time to time, except it had the ability to phase out of his shirt (losing the cat head design) and becoming a normal physical creature

I can't find my concept art of them, but there are these screenshots i found of their design used in an old animation :]

Anywayzzzzzz

Here's a few of Taikko's old references!:

Posted on April 14th 2021, Very visibly tall and lanky and heavy on the dark colors

Posted on May 23rd 2021, somehow with the redesign looking younger than the older one. probably went along with the change of artstyle, losing the sketchy style but still keeping it angular.

Created on February 15th 2022, this was the reference for the current redesign. a change in wardrobe and facial anatomy but lacking an update on the palette.

And that brings us to his reappearance in June 20th of this year! implementing more blue and inheriting the eye style and cheek markings that mikyomix had.

Really happy to exist again with a MUCH BETTER COLOR PALETTE.

Taikko is very special to me since they were the character I've been using to present myself online for a long time and there are a lot of good memories attached to him. He honestly feels like a part of me and I'm just really happy to have him out here again <3

Do you want a better understanding of (part of) Evolutions SMP but don't want to watch it? Then this is the post for you!

I just finished Pearl's POV of Evos, and wrote notes on every episode as I went, so that if you haven't watched Evos yet and/or don't plan to, but still want to understand what happened in it, you can reference this!

It's important to note that Pearl joins a good few months into the series. By that point, a lot of the classic parts of the server like the Property Police, the Mafia, and the Grian Empire have been well established. Taurtis is already gone from the server by the time she joins. However, she experiences a lot of the important stuff with the Watchers and Listeners near the middle and end of the series, so you're not missing everything. I'm planing to watch either Martyn or Jimmy's POVs next, as they were there from the beginning, but any notes I do for them will take longer, as they have many more episodes.

The notes summarizing all of Pearl's episodes will be below the cut!

Also, whenever I wrote down messages from the Watchers and Listeners I transcribed the exact grammar and spelling. I promise. This is only really relevant for one word the Listeners use at one point, but they also use some weird capitalization.

Episode 1: Pearl enters Evos by falling out of the sky (and promptly dying). Grian greets her at spawn and gives her some materials to get started. Both of them are resigned to Steve skins because the version they're on is so old, and Grian asks Pearl how it feels to be a guy. She says she feels like she’s “missing a few things” while looking down. This isn’t important I just think she’s hilarious. They are briefly distracted by Grian attempting to tame an ocelot to make it into Maui (he fails). Grian talks about how Pearl has been watching the series so she’s up to date, as she joined about halfway through. Something something watcher moment. Pearl gets started on her base, and explains the concept of Evos, including the Watchers. She says that no one knows what they are, but they are always watching and build the portals to help the Evolutionists through the versions.

Episode 2: Pearl continues work on her base, and talks about how she’s going to build a large phoenix on top of it. She does not do this. She talks about the Elmo prank she and Jimmy pulled on Grian on his stream and shows it off. Pearl arrives back at her base after getting levels and enchanting to a message from the Property Police (Martyn and Jimmy), telling her she needs to give her coords to the police within 3 days or they’ll “let Elmo loose. Pearl decides she just wants to see what they do if she doesn’t listen. Pearl decides to give an “anti-welcome gift” where she leaves every member a present as her welcome to the server. Most of the gifts aren’t really important but I need you to know she makes BigB cookies. 

Episode 3: Pearl shows off the sheep she built on stream to make fun of Grian and his “sheep escaping the pen” issue. She FINALLY starts eating bread consistently instead of rotten flesh and cements herself as the server’s crazy cat lady with her many cats. She goes to show off another prank, inside Grian’s head in spawn, and finds that Martyn has taken over Taurtis’ house with his own face and dubbed himself “Mayor Morty”. He even changed the signs on Pearl’s gift to Taurtis to refer to him. The prank on Grian’s head was a squid Elmo hanging out on top of him (she calls it a squelmo). Pearl continues work on her base and adds some vines and flowers and builds a large hummingbird statue to drink from them. MiniMuka (hereafter called Mini) shows up and they start talking about the fact that Systemzee (hereafter called Zee) locked him in a basement for two weeks because he’s in the mafia. Pearl is disbelieving, saying she doesn’t think Zee has the heart. Mini concedes, joking he wanted to be locked in the basement. Mini punches Pearl’s cat and then attempts to recruit her into the mafia by giving her a silk touch diamond pick. This is ineffective. They visit Netty’s flower forest on the way to a nether fortress, though Netty isn’t there (😔). Pearl doesn’t show them in the Nether fortress, but he probably figures it out, idk, I haven’t seen his POV. 

Episode 4: The episode starts with Pearl mentioning that she’d just graduated from university, god damn. She has also amassed many more cats in between episodes, as well as another set of signs, this time from “Pete Bills” (Jimmy) warning her not to join the mafia and to “stick her head in the sand”. Jimmy has also given her some assorted wool. Grian has put up a LARGE sign on the back wall of his base, facing hers, that reads “THE EMPIRE NEEDS [image of a pearl that looks like a snowball]”. Pearl decides to give her response (a yes to joining) in snowballs to make fun of it. She says that she might be biased towards Grian when it comes to making a decision on who to join, but she feels bad that Grian is lonely without Taurtis on. Pearl’s comments have been complaining about the fact that the back of Grian’s buildings are terribly bland (yeah), and Pearl offered to decorate them since Grian won’t. Grian agreed, and she asks the commenters for ideas. She continues to work on her base and then builds a sheep walking up the walls of a building in downtown Evo. Pearl leaves her “yes” to joining the Grian Empire at his building in downtown Evo.

Episode 5: Zee and Pearl are now collaborating on part of the back of Grian’s base, so Pearl’s plans for the episode have changed. Taurtis’ house has been destroyed and walled off (Pearl suspects a meteor hit it). Pearl’s gift for him is still there though. Turns out it’s part of a Watcher quest. In attempting to follow the clues, she accidentally finds a Watcher's message for Taurtis. However, she gets lost trying to figure out the second clue in the quest, so she returns home to continue work on her base. 

Episode 6: Netty has left Pearl a rainbow trail of wool to follow. It leads her to a large wool tower and platform with a chest containing a lot of gold as a gift. It’s lovely but she does fall off and die, so. Someone has set up a sign at spawn for “EVO PRIME”. You can leave a request for… something and when it is fulfilled you can head to a locker at the coords listed to retrieve it. Pearl goes to check out the locker, and when she activates the dispensers, she is dropped into a lava trap and loses all her stuff. She dies in lava again while on a mining trip to restock. 

Episode 7: Pearl adds an Evos logo to the back of Grian’s base to make it less of an eyesore. It’s really cool especially considering the limited build pallet. The Watchers have built a large flower in front of it in the MIDDLE of her path. It is surrounded by her cats and has a set of coordinates on it. Netty was apparently the person behind the locker, so she has given Pearl an apology gift of diamonds, gilded melons, an eye of ender, and many fire res potions. Pearl starts her quest at spawn, where she finds a hole leading down to an area filled with bedrock and an unlit nether portal. There are directions on how to light the portal and move to the next version- for Pearl, her starting clue is the flower. She finds the location the coords lead to and there finds a long clue.

It reads: “A good builder must understand all aspects of Minecraft. Challenge your survival side and discover your clue. Below you will find a maze inhabited by Skeletons, Zombies, and Creepers… OH MY! There are also 3 rooms containing coordinates. In order to see them, however, you must first find the heart of the empire and use it to unseal the three rooms. Once done, XYZ will reveal your clue.”

Why is it not rhyming? Dw about it (seriously). “The Heart of the Empire” is three TNT and a flint and steal, which tracks. She remarks that “as a builder” using TNT is painful which I think is very funny. She collects her new coords and moves on. This leads her to the clue she's meant to put at spawn, four dashes, and she returns to spawn to replace her name on the clue board with the dashes. The video ends with Pearl returning to the now completed clue board and the lit portal below spawn, finding that the rest of the Evolutionists have left without her. She jumps through the portal, and the moment she is in the next update she gets a horse. Finally. Transportation.

Episode 8: Pearl relocates her sheep prank so they are no longer in the way of her base. She works on it some more, and she has a skin now! Jimmy, AKA Pete Bills, has come by to steal some wool in exchange for five diamonds. Pearl is concerned by how much he must have taken to deserve that much payment. The group gets together for pig racing and it’s a good time for all involved (also crumbs of BigB and Pearl interactions let’s go.) Pearl wins the race and wins some diamonds and a lot of other stuff.

Episodes 9&10: Pearl’s episodes 9&10 are spliced together for some reason. She starts the episode enchanting all her diamond armor in preparation for her Ender Dragon fight. The Evolutionists gather together at spawn to prepare, and Grian gives everyone a ton of materials (he over prepared, he and Tom are the only ones who had never fought a dragon). They enter an edited stronghold with a completed portal (thanks Watchers). Despite everyone entering the same portal, they fight the dragon individually. Pearl’s fight is uneventful, and then the Evolutionists all get the same message from two Watchers in place of the end credits. I really recommend watching this yourself, it starts at 14:39 and is very interesting. Pearl does cut the credits themselves, though. Instead of the actual Minecraft creator credits, the Watchers have added all the players, including Grian, who’s name is grayed out like he’s in spectator, BUT NOT INCLUDING JIMMY LOL. Pearl then has a montage of her and Grian hanging out with Grian slowly fading from each moment because she’s MEAN TO ME.

Everyone, sans Jimmy, Mini, and Zee, falls into new spawn. If you want to know why Jimmy isn’t there- go watch his Evos EP 98 for context. Zee and Mini eventually show up at new spawn, but later than everyone else for some reason. They figure it out dw. The group starts to go back to old spawn to get their stuff, and talk briefly about the fact that Grian is a Watcher now. They all agree that he’s not necessarily the best choice, but whatever he pulls as a Watcher will probably be par for the course.

They find old spawn- and all their builds- ruined and broken by time, and a structure from the Watchers is there for them, alongside a book called “The Future”, reading: “Our meeting was short and your victory grand. Now 10 become 9 and you must leave this land. Our reasons are just though you won’t understand. Your actions have caused this, accidental or planned. Tread now to your homes, carry only what you can. Any more will be frowned on and the sentence, a ban. We The Watchers Have Spoken.”

The Evolutionists are… kinda upset! They all return to their homes to collect their things, and find that anyone’s houses that were a good distance from spawn (including Grian’s downtown area) are untouched.

They all find ender chests that they didn’t have before as well, which contain a book titled “Greetings” from the Listeners. The book reads: “There are some who watch. We are those who listen. And we do not agree with their most recent decision. “Carry only what you can”, what you deem here is best. We grant you more space by making use of this chest. SHHHhhh…..”

To be clear: THIS IS NOT THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE LISTENERS. As Martyn tells the group, the Listeners previously contacted Martyn and Jimmy and said they would give them a mission soon. Martyn didn’t hear from them again until this moment, and Jimmy received his first mission from them when he returned from the end- to deliver everyone their ender chests so they can bring more with them. Everyone agrees the Watchers have been kinda rude, so they’re willing to disobey with the ender chests. They all collect their things and reconvene at old spawn before heading out. 

Episode 11: Pearl begins by collecting items for her brand new base and starts it. She also builds a Mumbo Jumbo certified redstone contraption. Thank you Mumbo for your service to the “bad at redstone” community. 

Episode 12: Pearl continues work on her new base and makes a guardian farm. She builds a chicken bomb at Jimmy and Martyn’s place and has her Poultry Woman moment. The group meets up at spawn and finds the community billboard has a set of coordinates on it, so off on an adventure we go. Martyn and Netty have set up a game show- called the Double Deity Dummy Dash. They’ll be put in pairs for two challenges where they use their eyes and ears to recreate some art. It’s a fun game but it’s not important so you can watch it for yourself to enjoy it. However, Netty says it was designed with the idea of “the Watchers and Listeners working together” in mind, so, there’s that. Pearl also sings a bit in this episode and she has a very nice voice :)

Episode 13: The episode opens with Pearl receiving an invitation to the mansion of Alfred Bottomsworth for a dinner party. The Evolutionists arrive to the party and meet the butler- note that the Butler is the only NPC that talks, and only talks in the chat- and they all enter and take their seats at the table. The butler begins screaming for help, and then runs downstairs and announces that the master of the house has been murdered (who could’ve seen this coming in the murder mystery episode). Salem, BigB, and Pearl split off to investigate with the gardener. They eventually find a letter from the gardener to their lover, Alfred Bottomsworth’s daughter, and learn that they had a forbidden romance. Intrigue! The group reconvenes to discuss who the murderer could be, and decide on the gardener. They successfully solve the crime, and that’s it, lol. This episode is entirely irrelevant to the rest of the SMP and and I’m obsessed with it. More SMPs should do this.

Episode 14: Pearl’s episode begins with a sign from Jimmy reading “What’s that sound at spawn?” The sound in question is a strange ticking and music, and the Evolutionists all gather to see what it is. They find a piece of glass in the center of spawn, and they break it in order to drop down into something resembling the area the Watchers used under old spawn to give clues and portals. However, it opens into a labyrinth, and the Listeners symbol is there in white bedrock. Zee received a book when he got down there because he was the first one down, and he gives it to Jimmy, who then gives it to Martyn because he’s laughing too hard to read.

It’s titled “Freedom” and reads: “There are some who watch. We are those who listen. If you flee, you’ll be free, and complete your recission. Single versions are slow. New adventures in store. Come with us and we’ll give you lots more to explore. Make haste through this maze, as a portal awaits. Make the choice quick, and take control of your fates. SHHhhh…..”

The Evolutionists split down the tunnels to try and find the end of the maze, encountering many mobs and more symbols of the Listeners. Netty quickly finds a large nether portal, and they all meet up at it. Martyn takes attendance to make sure everyone is there, and is the first to run into the portal. Pearl cuts it very quickly after he runs in, and then cuts to her, BigB, and Jimmy alone in the room, which implies, but does not state or show, that the other members followed Martyn through. Pearl then runs into the portal as well. As we can see in most other POVs of this scene, everyone eventually runs into the portal.

Episode 15: Pearl’s next episode starts with her absolutely struggling with Australian ping. Pearl explains that the Listeners brought them from 1.8 to 1.12 (hence “single versions are slow”), and unfortunately her Minecraft is struggling with the new version (and the 900 chickens in her basement). She updates her base with another tower with all the new blocks as well.

It should be noted- this is the second to last episode of Pearl’s series, and the next episode is Evo’s official finale. Most of the server is empty, at this point. Taurtis hadn’t logged on in months, Grian left after the dragon fight, BigB, Salem, and Tom all unofficially ended a few episodes after that, Zee ended around Halloween just before the Listeners' portal, Martyn’s ends with him jumping into the Listeners' portal, and Mini’s ends with a farewell episode after the jump to 1.12. The only people who are still on are Jimmy and Netty, who both played with her to the “finale” of the server around Christmas.

Episode 16: The episode opens with Jimmy, Netty, and Pearl celebrating Christmas and the finale of the series. The three of them spend the finale playing games and enjoying themselves to end the series. At one point, all of the snow golems they’ve summoned start fighting a random skeleton and then each other, and Jimmy makes a remark about how they didn’t want to end Evos with a war. You can make angst out of that if you want, kings. Pearl’s finale ends with an aesthetically pleasing series of shots of the sever overlaid with happy memories from the server, including clips from other people’s episodes to tell the story properly. It’s very bittersweet.

#evolution smp #life series #traffic smp #pearlescentmoon #eyesandears #for the sake of all you martyn watcher lore fans out there #here. eat up. understand the watchers better. #and understand the listeners at all. please god please. #very excited for whatever pov i watch next evos is genuinely really enjoyable you guys

Life Updates and Such...

Soooo.... many things! At the moment, I've finally pulled myself somewhat out of the doldrums caused by lack-of-job + job-search-sucks and am making all the preparations for celebrating the end of this year and the start of a new one.

I think I've binged something like 30+ anime series in the last month or so, along with reading many many books.

Today, I've finally got some bots working in the Creator's Cave discord, to make things a bit easier there. There are more updates I still need to do, but it's a start.

My hope for this week, is that in addition to my preparations for New Year's, I'll be able to actually finish my project of turning some of my flower photos into TS3 art. No promises, but I'm hopeful.

Below the cut, for the curious or nosy, the menu and preparations for New Year's.

Before anyone starts to wonder... two of the friends coming to my place for New Year's are really really into Pumpkin, so this is reflected here. Yes, this is probably too much food and drink for... 6 people, but hey... leftovers.

**Food** 1 frozen lasagna, family size 1 batch homemade mac&cheese (made by not me) Cheeses! (Extra sharp white cheddar, brie, various spreadables, 3 varieties of goat cheese) Crackers! (Ritz garlic butter, rosemary flatbread, 5 other assorted) Meats! (Summer sausage, dry salame, fig salame) Tea Sandwiches! (Cream cheese + smoke salmon or cucumber or jam) Scones! (I plan to make at least 3 varieties, but haven't yet decided which.) Oven ready appetizers! (Takoyaki, bagel bites, baked potato skins, loaded tater tots, mini quiches, mozzarella sticks, and more.) Shrimp Cocktail platter Veggie Platter Sweet Maui Onion potato chips Homemade snack mix (Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Pretzels, Cashews, Pistachios, white cheddar cheeze-its, white cheddar cheese puffs)

**Sweets** Pumpkin Spice Twinkies Iced Pumpkin Cupcakes (this is also hostess brand) Yackwa Korean donuts (gift from a neighbor) Assorted flavors of KitKats Pumpkin Pie yogurt covered pretzels Butter Rum Crunch popcorn Bourbon Crunch popcorn Milk Chocolate cherry cordials Other assorted chocolates

**Non-Alcoholic Drinks** Five different flavors of Martinellis sparkling cider Pumpkin Spice cold brewed tea (caffeinated) Pumpkin Creme Rooibos cold brew tea (herbal) Pumpkin Pie cold brew tea (herbal) Various Gatorade

**Alcoholic Drinks** 'Strong Mead' from a cider festival (gift from friend) Expensive bottle of Sake 'Demon Slayer' 1 bottle Louis Perrier Champagne for ringing in the new year Berenjaeger Green Apple Sake Peach Sake Umeshu Plum Wine Matcha Plum Wine (I'm really curious about this one) Butterscotch Shnapps Pumpkin hard Cider Dark Chocolate Cherry Moonshine Eggo Brunch Sippin' Cream A cupboard full of other assorted things that probably won't be looked at.

#non sims #nonsims #personal #life updates #new years is the only holiday we really celebrate much #and I'm so ready for this year to be over #I've been acquiring supplies for NYE for a month already at least #it's also the one day each year we throw out our alcohol limitations #mostly the friends who come over just plan to crash overnight and go home the next day

[bettinalevyisdetermined]

… Okay, okay, I see what's happening here It seems I messed up again, and thats fair

I think I know pretty well how you feel

It's troubling

Well, it's still nice to see that humans never change

… Open your eyes, let me make it up, to you

Yes, it's really me, Maui, apologizing to you

Breathe it in

I know it's a lot The sad face, the slouch

When you're staring at a guilty demi-god

… What can I say except, "Im sorry"

For the theft, murder and crime

I know its not okay, okay ?

Im sorry !

I still am just an ordinary demi-guy !

… Hey What has two thumbs and stole the heart

When you were waddling yea high?

This guy

Then the fruits gone bad and cold

Who was the cause of it all ?

You're lookin' at him, yo

Oh, also I ripped out tamatoas claw

Im sorry !

I just really taught him killing people was a major flaw !

Also I almost got you eaten and greesed

Im sorry !

To use you as bait was bad to say the least

Kid, honestly I could go on and on

I could explain every disastrous phenomenon

The Huricane, the tornado, and the quaking ground

Oh, that was Maui just messing around

I killed an eel

I buried its guts

Its pretty messed up, even though you got coconuts

What's the lesson?

What is the take-away?

Maui should really controll himself when he's on a break-away

And the tapestry here on my skin

Is a map of the messups I did

Look where I've been I make everything happen

Look at that mean mini-Maui just tickety-tappin' (awkward)

(Ha ha ha ha ha ha, hey) (also awkward)

… Well, anyway let me say, "Im sorry !" (Hes sorry !)

For the messes in the world you know

Hey, it's okay, it's okay, Im sorry (Hes sorry !)

Well, come to think of it, I gotta go (hey)

… Hey, it's my day to say, "Im sorry" (Hes sorry !)

'Cause I'm gonna fix my shit

I'm flying away, away, Im sorry (Hes sorry !)

'Lets hope Maui can fix stuff better than steal boats !

… Im sorry ! (Hes sorry)

Im sorry !

And see you !

IM so sorry I sent you the original song first and now the edited version !

Wow, you did it! You actually made a "Sorry" Maui parody! I knew someone out there would be creative enough to do it! XD

@brightideathepunny @adizoron What can I say except, "you're welcome!"

#Bettina ask #Moana parody #What can I say except I'm sorry #hope to sing this someday!

Voiceplay Visuals: Moana Medley

For the second part of this series of mine, we're going with Voiceplay's most popular video on YouTube (and Facebook) ever: their Moana Medley! Released on the 19th of August, 2017 (just a few days shy of Geoff's 37th birthday), it currently has over 44 million views on Youtube, and it truly is impressive in its arrangement and vocal performance. But I'm not here to talk about vocals, I'm here to talk about the visual stuff! So let's go!

Group shot! I love how Rachel is wearing a cute red(?) tropical dress, and the others... barely even try with their outfits 😂

Layne is wearing long pants (or three-quarters at least), but he's at least wearing a "surf Cali" shirt, so there was at least some thought in it. Earl I will allow, as he's just kinda got Beach vibes here ngl (I think it's at least partially the hair). Eli kinda looks more like he's ready to go play golf, and Geoff is wearing a hoodie! Geoff, dude... 😅

I was thinking about this video a while ago and was like "wait, who did J play again?" and then I had to remind myself "oh right, this was before he had become a full-time member (for about 3 or 4 years) (but after Tony left the group to focus more on Pattycake Productions and behind-the-scenes stuff)

Kind of a lucky coincedence that this video was the one that introduced a lot of people to Voiceplay (before Oogie Boogie's Song at least), since they actually tell you in the video who everyone is and who they're representing from the movie.

"How many pounds of sand did we use to create our fake beach?" Voiceplay asks in the description. I don't know, but i'm guessing Quite A Lot.

Consider the COCONUT! (the WHAT?) Consider its treeeee!

(Voiceplay assured fans via video description that no coconuts were harmed in the filiming of this video 😋)

I said in another post that I was really tempted to do a thing studying the way Geoff's hair has changed over time and the various styles it has taken, and screw it, I'm doing it via this series! And this is what I mean by it:

A quick trace over a screencap (using a drawing app I have on my laptop), plus a few colour-picks from his hair (because I swear the shade of brown changes a lot just from the lighting alone). Anyway, we continue onwards!

Shoutout to Geoff's expression on "that's right!" from the opening song, Where You Are, love this boy

Who did the waves? Was that Kathy? (She's done puppeteering for other videos, such as Get Back Up Again). It's very cute, love the dedication

Rachel as Moana? Yeah nah yeah you don't say! 😂

"HEY!"

(Okay yes a lot of this is just going to be me pointing out amusing moments, but Voiceplay really know how to be funny, and I'm having fun, so eh)

Eli is underrated when it comes to comedic moments tbh, and also the king of Eyebrow Game (Geoff's a close second)

Well that answers my question about Earl's upper arm tattoo from the This Is Halloween video, anyway! (I.e. it is apparently real)

Layne was in charge of both the music arrangement and the video for this cover, so like, did he cast himself as Hei Hei? 😂 He could have been "Mini Maui", who is another nonspeaking character, but would have made more sense for his singing/rapping bit, but hey, don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing! He makes a great Hei Hei 😁

(Also the fact that Layne's character card thing is orange, and this was before he earned the title of Carrot Lord! The foreshadowing!)

Geoff just deadpan handing a coconut to Layne, love that (also what is it with Voiceplay and nearly every single video screencap looking like a great Draw The Squad/Tag Yourself prompt? 😂

"Get the hook! Geddit?"

Geoff with not-yet-shoulder-length hair (i.e. Younger Geoff) is a different vibe to long-haired Geoff honestly. I very much love him as he is today, of course I do, but I still very much enjoy him here too <3

It's a freaking crime that they cut away from Geoff on the "I can't" part of the "I'll never hide, I can't, I'm too shiny!" line tbh /j

Geoff wears a watch a lot in videos (and since the last few years at least, he usually has something on the other wrist too), but for this video he apparently decided to not wear a more regular black or brown watch, and instead went with something a lot more, well, Shiny! (low-key drama queen vibes ngl, love that for him)

The "Know Who You Are" section is absolutely beautiful in every single way, 10/10, no notes

Love Rachel's dancing, she's a brilliant performer, both on mic and in front of the camera!

This might not be one of the biggest displays of "hey check out what I/we can do!" for any of the Voiceplay members out of all their videos, when it comes to vocal ranges and stuff, but it's still a great one to watch, and I'm happy that it did so well on social media! It's got the playfulness and silliness that has always been and continues to be part of Voiceplay's overall "brand", while still being a really good production and arrangement.

[canyonhike]

Kauai is about 5 million years old and currently has a max elevation of about 5000 feet( same as Lake Louise).

Oahu 3 million years old and about 5000 ft as well.

Maui is 1.5 million but the peak is 10,000 ft while the Big Island is still growing with a snow covered peak at 16,000.

This is the main canyon on the island where natural erosion has lowered the peak from who knows what.

And a different view out towards the ocean

This canyon hike is a favourite every year but getting to be a bit of a puffer as there are only 2 directions. Up and more Up. Not 50 feet of flat over 4 miles. Even the downs feel like ups.

I call this my glue factory hike. When I can no longer handle it…… I know where I’m headed

We forgot our poles in the villa so had to improvise.

And some pretty flowers too

After much effort, you suddenly burst out from the jungle

And try not to think about the 2000 foot cliff off to the right. That hard black lava I think of as rock…….is mostly a sandy red clay as you can see. Great growing media but I still struggle with how clay flows red hot after eruptions.

And the payoff is a mini waterfall with an ice water swimming pool close to 4000 ft. When you cross a stream at a beach it is still very chilly but the ocean is in the 80s.

All the islands have some areas that get over 300 inches of rain a year as the moisture compresses against the mountains…. And some areas that get only an inch or two. Just pick you preference.

Freshwater is abundant as the porous rocks act as a massive holding tank.

And she must be fed very quickly afterwards or else I shall suffer severe harm. ( btw my dish is a Hawaiian loco …… rice, kahlua pork with scrambled eggs and black bean sauce.

More to follow next week
