Picking Up The Pieces

If you can handle the chaos, feel free to come and visit.

-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.

  They grinned, Agatha hopping up onto her brother’s back to reach Rumbo’s head to pat it.

"You better."

The siblings shifted so she was on his shoulders, and they marched off towards the kitchen.

[therangerrumbo-deactivated20140]

  Rumbo grinned. “I swear— Wouldn’t miss it. I’m disappointed that I had to miss both of yours,” he responded. He’d make it up to them somehow. But for now he was just thrilled he was back.

  Rumbo followed alongside them, looking around as he took in everything and tried to remember where everything was. 

[glitchsurvivors]

They beamed at him and led him into where the mass of family members had conglomerated.

  They smiled at him, grunting with the effort it took to help him stand.

"He’s been good. He’s excited about his birthday soon."

Agatha smiled in agreement.

"He’s in there on Unca Peter’s lap."

[therangerrumbo-deactivated20140]

  “I’ll have to remember to come back and wish him a happy birthday,” he mused as he stood up. Rumbo was glad he hadn’t missed too much of their lives. He considered them to be family— and he’d be sad if he missed them growing up. 

[glitchsurvivors]

They grinned, Agatha hopping up onto her brother's back to reach Rumbo's head to pat it.

"You better."

The siblings shifted so she was on his shoulders, and they marched off towards the kitchen.

  Kyler shrugged.

"Not much. Few months. We both turned eight in January."

Agatha scrambled off him and both held out their hands to help him up.

[therangerrumbo-deactivated20140]

  Rumbo grinned in response as he took their hands to stand up straighter. “I’m glad you two haven’t grown up too much while I was gone. I would’ve been disappointed to miss it.”

  Speaking of which— “How’s Petey? Is he in there too?” 

[glitchsurvivors]

They smiled at him, grunting with the effort it took to help him stand.

"He's been good. He's excited about his birthday soon."

Agatha smiled in agreement.

"He's in there on Unca Peter's lap."

This is the most under-appreciated continuity in the entire Pirates of the Caribbean film-series.

  Kyler smiled as Agatha finally let go enough for Rumbo to sit up, wrapping his arms around him in a quick hug.

"It’s good to see you too. Everyone’s in the kitchen if you want to say hi."

[therangerrumbo-deactivated20140]

  “How old are you two now? How much time has passed?” Rumbo asked. For him it had only been a year. But he had no idea how different time passed in other worlds. 

  At the suggestion, Rumbo brightened and nodded. “Yeah— I’d like that!” 

[glitchsurvivors]

Kyler shrugged.

"Not much. Few months. We both turned eight in January."

Agatha scrambled off him and both held out their hands to help him up.

  She looked to be older, by a few months to a year, dreads cut short, bandaid on her face where she’d gotten cut by a tumble into the dirt. She laughed, smile wide and open, and clung to him.

"I thought you were gone! We couldn’t ever find your portal again!"

Then another voice, a boy, and Kyler wandered around the corner. He looked younger, happier, hair tied back, dressed in a tank top and jeans versus what he used to wear.

"Aggie what are…Rumbo!"

He beamed, coming closer.

[therangerrumbo-deactivated20140]

  Rumbo was all smiles. He was thrilled the people who he considered to be family. He shook his head. “I thought so too, kid. This is the first one I’ve seen in a year,” he explained.

  He then looked to the new voice. “Kyler!” he exclaimed, looking to him brightly. “I am so happy to see the two of you.” 

[glitchsurvivors]

Kyler smiled as Agatha finally let go enough for Rumbo to sit up, wrapping his arms around him in a quick hug.

"It's good to see you too. Everyone's in the kitchen if you want to say hi."

  There was half a second of silence and then a missile of young muscle and color slammed into him, tackling him to the ground with a hug.

"Rumbo! I missed you!"

[therangerrumbo-deactivated20140]

  Rumbo gasped as he fell back, quickly making sure that he took the blunt of the fall. He then realized who tackled him and he wrapped his arms around her.

  “Oh, gods, Agatha. I missed you too. I didn’t think I would get to ever see you again!”

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

  It had been a year since the portals stopped coming to Rumbo’s world. Seven months since Salgexicon ordered the team to split up to find the Harp faster. And only a short time since he met back up with Crolax and Paige. Slowly, but surely, the team was coming back together. He was just thankful they were still alive. No word on the rest of the team, though.

  But while Rumbo was in the forest looking for game to hunt, something strange happened. A portal opened. Rumbo’s mouth went agape with shock and he did the first thing he could think of— Run through it. 

  “Hello?” he called out, wondering where he landed. “Is anyone there?” 

[glitchsurvivors]

"Rumbo! I missed you!"
