Still Working Out The Kinks

Y-Y-You can call me Glitch. ((I track the GlitchSpine tag)) ON INDEFINITE HIATUS

[glitch-spine]

-deeeeeep deep deep deep deep breath-

I think I know why I haven't had a muse for any of my SPG blogs lately you guys

It's because SPG has been on and off making me uncomfortable, with sudden changes, and replies to things with no filters that they should know are only going to get them in trouble with others.

I love them. I love the band.

But just...

This is too sudden.

I wholly accepted Rabbit as a wonderful lady because that was for Bunny's comfort and I get it.

I understand why Brianna and Paige had to leave, even if the suddenness of it was a bit of a shock to me both times.

And then David replied to the thing about Bunny apparently making a joke about Jon's old stuff. And I wanted to die. He said he hated certain songs. You don't say things like that, and especially not to fans. It's like if you're in a play but you hate the play. You aren't going to tell people who you're working with you enjoy the play that you hate it. You just don't. Those are opinions you keep to yourself.

And now Matt and Michael.

Michael has been there since the beginning. 

I was explaining SPG to a friend yesterday and the first thing I did was explain how Michael has been with them since they were busking. How he did a dozen instruments and back up vocals and me and my friends were joking and imagining things like faces and things he would do with new songs at new shows. 

And Matt...

Matt hasn't even been with us a year. We're still coming to love him. I met him once, for barely a minute, and he burrowed his way into my heart with a puppyish grin and arms thrown wide and a yell of 'hug me!'. He was this beacon of light.

He and Mike both were. Every time I saw them they just made me want to grin and laugh and hug them.

They're characters, people, just as much as the bots. They have personalities that we've come to understand and love. They have smiles and jumpsuits and bear hugs.

The, and I hate to say this, but the almost callous way that they've been let off in favor of a change in the act. Things change. But this is too sudden.

Too sudden.

I'm really going to miss Matt and Mike, but I'm hesitant to be near this fandom right now. I'm hesitant to be near the band right now.

I was making plans to go to Animinneapolis in May.

And maybe I still will.

But not being able to see either of those two is going to be a bit of a damper.

And I love Carolina and Gabi but I have no doubts they'll be brought along for merchandise things and it strikes me as a little wrong that M&M have to be let go for the sake of portability and creation, but the gals get to keep coming along. People who got parts because they are friends or significant others.

This whole thing just strikes me as sudden and off and I just...

I was going to come back. I was going to do things.

But now I need a break.

I'm not going to tag this. I'm not going to risk backlash from the fandom. I just wanted to explain.

I'm sorry to everyone who was waiting. I've been busy and barely on my computer lately, but I've been trying.

This has just made it harder.

Sorry.

Michael Reed and Matt Smith have been removed from the Steam Powered Giraffe live show. David, in an article on the Engineer-eteer site, has stated that this is to help develop the act, make it more portable, etc, and to put more focus on the robot characters rather than the “backing musicians”.

I have one thing to say:

While I understand wanting to develop the act, do not sit here and tell me that Michael Reed and Matt Smith are just “backing musicians”. They were characters that I was invested in, wholly, and now they’re gone.

Now, they’re gone, and I’m going to need days if not weeks to fully digest this. I’m heartbroken to extremes I can’t even begin to describe.

[miss-shojo]

Yes. Yes, Shojo want. Shojo want very much.

She grinned and nodded, feeling the heat come off her face. She slowly removed her striped shirt and tossed it aside, smiling at him. She held his face and ran her thumb over his vents.

"We can still be together, right? I’d want that more than anything.. I just want to be in your life again…"

[glitch-spine]

He laughed softly, long metal hands resting on her waist and head tilting into her touch. 

"Absolutely."

[glitch-spine]

He hummed a little, back arching at the touches.

[miss-shojo]

"Glitch…" she sighed, kissing him a bit harder. She moved to sit more on his lap and kissed his lips, her arms circling around him.

"I’ve missed you so much.. Do you want to, um.." She chuckled as a few dirty thoughts tumbled around her mind. One hand slid down his body to his groin, her cheeks blushing madly.

[glitch-spine]

He smiled at her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"If you want."

Fair warning to all blogs

I probably won’t be using identifying quote things anymore simply because I’ve gotten used to not using them. If a character has italics or bold I might still, but otherwise probably not

Apologies

[glitchsurvivors]

Gonna be on these blogs for a bit

Thank Tobeh

I remember when I very first played Garak, I played him gay! I thought this would be great! He sees this young man, this young, very attractive doctor on the station, he is lonely, he is the only Cardassian there, this doctor is curious about him, and if you remember, this was a great moment because Sid totally went with it! When he comes up and he puts his hand on his shoulder, Sid did this great thing, it was this sort of an electrical charge that went through him and so I played him totally gay in that episode. Of course the producers did not actually tell me not to play him gay but then they started writing him a little more macho and more like a Cardassian. But I said, “Listen, one of the great things about Garak is that he is not Gul Dukat, he is not one of those macho, militaristic guys, he is your finesse Cardassian.” So we struck a compromise but I was always very clear. I did not get into it in the book. Quite frankly, I was going to go in that direction. I had written a whole thing about Garak’s sexuality because I felt that Garak was sort of - talk about bisexual, I think that he was multisexual, essentially that anything that moves is fair game for Garak. He has a voracious sexual appetite.

*Priviliged whiney voice* why don’t you go create your own representation

Because when people try this happens! It gets re written! you idiots!

He laughed a little.

"N-Not anymore."

[mimic-bot-deactivated20240318]

"Oh, that’s too bad.  What do you do for fun, then?"  she gave a nervous laugh.  She was terrible at introductions.  "Um.  Any hobbies?"

[glitch-spine]

He shrugged a little.

"Nothing of interest."

[glitch-spine]

He watched the movie, hand possessively around her waist, spines letting out a little puff of steam at the kisses.

[miss-shojo]

Oo now that was something she missed. She smiled into his plating, very much liking the way he was holding her. She nibbled at any screws and edges she could find of the plating while her hands gently caressed his spines.

[glitch-spine]

He hummed a little, back arching at the touches.

[glitch-spine]

She nuzzled her head closer to his chest, taking a deep breath as she began to listen to his inner workings go. Her arms wrapped around him as she got the biggest grin on her face.

He chuckled and ran a hand through her hair affectionately.

[glitch-spine]

The balcony was a little difficult to get to, but there was a way.

"M-My brothers are around somewhere."

[mimic-bot-deactivated20240318]

Mimic finally made her way up to the balcony, sitting close enough to have a conversation, but not so close that it was uncomfortable, as they just met.

"Your brothers?  At least it’s not too lonely here…Your singing really was lovely, though.  Do you sing for other people?"

[glitch-spine]

He laughed a little.

"N-Not anymore."

[glitch-spine]

He smiled back down at her.

"I love you as well."

[miss-shojo]

Shojo blushed and snuggle up close to enjoy the movie. She actually paid attention for the first 10 minutes but got distracted by Glitch’s, well, everything. She missed everything about him so much…

She turned her body inward and sat up straighter to gently kiss his neck, walking her lips up the curve of his neck to his cheek vent. Her lips lingered there and her tongue sneaked a lick every so often.

[glitch-spine]

He watched the movie, hand possessively around her waist, spines letting out a little puff of steam at the kisses.

[glitch-spine]

I swear to fucking god I'm not abandoning these blogs again...

I'm just emotional as shit right now and on a really thin piece of ice in terms of my depression and I tend to shut down to one blog when that happens and I'm sorry for being such a little shit.

[glitch-spine]

I'm bad at straight shit. I realize this now

If you look like a girl, I’m going to call you a girl. If I can see your Adam’s apple and you look like a boy, I’m going to call you a boy. If you look like an it, I’m going to call you a damn it.
