Creature Feature

It's okay! Everyone has that one moment where something like that happens.

I was binge-listening to the CDs again while waiting for American Gothic to come in, and I suddenly remembered something. One of the reasons I keep constantly coming back to this band is because of Curtis' voice. I can appreciate his talent when it comes to both singing and being able to do a variety of voices. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I'm listening to Curtis' voice because he can sound so different between one song and the next.

And, even if the vocals weren't great, I could still appreciate the beats. I'll often find myself focusing more on the fun, bouncy beat of "A Gorey Demise" than the lyrics, for example.

I actually e-mailed Curtis and sent him a link to a fanfic that I wrote based off of his Solo Side Project, Rufus Rex. I haven't gotten a response yet. (Then again, he could be busy with things and doesn't always respond to e-mails.) I'm nervous because I don't know what he'll think of it! (Looking back, I don't like how some of it turned out.) I love how I posted a comment on one of his Tumblr posts as if I thought he'd respond. I also made this in response to that post. All to get noticed, which will never happen...

Wait, so you have a deviantart? I do, too! I'm "pentartonix" on there!

Don't worry, your day of notice will come. I got noticed by Peter Hollens so often that we actually started snapchatting each other.

Peter is an a cappella and cover artist

Huh, I'll be sure to look for you on there, then!

I sure hope I get noticed... Then again, I'm afraid I'll come off as too awkward...

I also conveniently left out some things from previous posts.

One was that the line "Sever their heads and gouge out their eyes." from "Here There Be Witches" creeped me out when I first heard it.

Curtis has admitted that he and Erik went back and fourth between the lyrics of "Bound and Gagged", and also noted how realistic it was.

Another was my thing with "A Gorey Demise". The guy who was complaining about there being no cotton candy says later "That's not candy! That's just slimy!" When the host starts talking, you hear one guest say that something is "Like a bone". One guest at the beginning says "Boy, you all seem lively for being dead!" One says "Hello everyone!", which sounds like the host trying to get everyone's attention. The pause when the host is talking is when he sets down his glass, which you can hear if you listen very carefully. (I think between "Sit down, quiet down, listen up." and "I've brought you all here to recite the annual obituaries."?)

Also, Curtis has quite the disparity between his speaking and singing voices. And pwns at air hockey.

I'm a pretty awkward person too, no worries.

Wow, you bring up lyrics that sometimes I haven't even noticed/bothered to pay attention to!

Do you know what? I'm set on finding more Creature Feature fans and bringing them here.

Oh my God, yes, please do!

Also, I found this on Curtis' Instagram, although his other post is probably contributing to the voting. He has no choice, he must do "Dem Bones". Although I hope he doesn't discard the "Wake the Dead" idea, either...

I hope that, either way, Erik is in these videos! He needs more love, fiends!

MUSIC VIDEO. MUSIC VIDEO. MUSIC VIDEO.

Can't wait for it to come out!

... Okay, I wish I had a time machine now.

I wish I had a time machine as well! I'd do so many things...

So would I...

I think I know why Curtis needed those skeletons, now...

Okay but why are the skeletons cute

I have no idea. They just are.

Woah! That was posted at 4-something in the morning... At least, my time...

My computer is two hours slow, so when it says, say, 9:30, it's actually 11:30.

I keep binge-listening to the CDs just to keep hearing Curtis' voice! What is wrong with me?

Nothing is wrong with you!

I actually do not own any of their CD's. I only have them on soundcloud. I wish I owned some.

Well, look no further than here!

I love these guys so much I just AAAAA!

It's a cool site.

But I'm 'fraid my parents shall not allow me to buy "that kind" of music :(

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that!

Honestly, my parents don't care. My dad makes fun of it to annoy me, but I know he doesn't really care. Mom actually enjoys some of the songs, particularly "A Gorey Demise". Sometimes she'll listen to them and ask me things. (Like when she finally figured out that the beginning of "Look to the Skies" was Curtis saying "Beyond the surface, the plan is more devious/ So be on the lookout for carbon copies of us." or if the lyrics to "Bound and Gagged" were "Don't do anything that you think you'll regret/ Or you'll have to check the mail for your daughter's head.")

Also, "Aim for the Head" would fit perfectly with this post.

I love this post.

The speed fighter is pretty adorable

She is, isn't she?

I laughed so hard while making Damien the dude who dies first. And it wouldn't even be from the zombies! Curtis would just get fed up with his douchebaggery and shoot him in the face!

We can bring up Rufus Rex while we're on here so long as it doesn't consume the thread, right? Anyway, I'm sad I'm not seeing this much success with my other thread. Care to chime in? If you haven't listened to the album, you can easily find it on You Tube. Curtis either doesn't notice or doesn't care that people are doing this. He's a pretty nice guy, so I've heard, so I don't think he cares. If he does, he isn't putting up much of a fight.

I've written fanfics about them on Wattpad. Help.

I'll see if I can contribute to the Rufus Rex one!

Actually, I had a cat character named Rufus Rex. First Fursona...

Anyways, I've written tons of fanfiction on wattpad about countless bands but my mom happened to come across the... uhm... the worst kind.

I had an idea for a Pokémon fangame that involved Curtis and Erik as characters, and a major antagonist in the game was named Rufus, who later turns out to be a split personality of Curtis.

Was it a shipping fic?

Originally, my Wattpad account was going to be dedicated to writing badfics about them, until I realized I could do more with my account.

I'd love for you to contribute! I love talking about alternate interpretations!

It was... Well.. NSFW fanfic that I wrote. And yes, it was shipping...

That sounds like a cool game, actually!

Hold on, what is it you'd like me to contribute again?

This thread.

I found this link on Curtis' Twitter. And how true.

The way it was going to be revealed would have been so dramatic, too! Marie/Erik (depending on which player character you chose) would connect the dots that Curtis was never present whenever they fought Rufus. At first, Marie/Erik scoffs at the idea that their friend would do such a thing, until they begin to notice similarities between the two. And then this one line is uttered, which confirms everyone's suspicions, and implies that the Split Personality is very much into And I Must Scream territory for Curtis.

I've only recently heard of this band, but - of course^note Because I love circus-and-clown-related things - "Greatest Show Unearthed" is my favorite song of theirs. You Tube user Dracomut made a pretty good music video of it!

Yay! Someone else joined in!

I need to see that music video now!
