What are your thoughts on the current roleplay trends on here right now?

i’m not even sure if i know the current trends tbqh lmfao. uhm. but like carrd/google docs i just?? don’t get. those are like the two that i’m most aware of that i really don’t understand at all. no offense to anyone who uses them haha i just don’t really get it. it seems like an extra unnecessary step to me. 

oh, and also like reblog karma? i get the theory of it and stuff, like i understand it but i also don’t really get it. like i personally couldn’t care less if ppl reblog memes from me even if they don’t send them in, or musings, aesthetics, etc. it affects my life in no way whatsoever. besides while everyone’s focusing on meme reblog karma, i think everyone’s missing a much bigger issues of promo reblog karma. again, couldn’t care less if ppl send me a meme before reblogging smth but i don’t put promos on the dash just for it to stay on my own blog lol. 

other than that?? idk about many other trends idt. i’m not on the dash enough to be in the know w/most of that anymore.

@stiltskin sent in a thing from this post.

oof i love alastor and i love the dimension you bring to him. i love the gruffness contrasted with his sense of humour and your headcanons that are so developed and i love the crocodile bros

Thank you so much for your kind words! I work hard to give Alastor a realistic personality and still honor the way that he is portrayed in the novels. More often than not I find that I’m shitposting about Alastor but I’m glad that you enjoy my portrayal regardless. I too love the crocodile bros and how similar but different they are. Alastor might not approve of all of Rumple’s evilness but at the very least I think Alastor would respect him enough to look away when Rumple is doing something wrong. Crocodile gang is top notch and writing with you makes me want to actually start Once upon a time.

Star Force Stiltskin and Lacey, where did you get married? What kind of ceremony did you have? Thank you!

Lacey: We got married twice! The first ceremony was a traditional Rumplurian binding which took place, like all Rumplurian religious ceremonies, in our own home. 

You can read about that here: Bonds of Body and Soul

(There’s also a sequel in which they renew their vows: Bonds Eternal)

We also had a traditional human wedding ceremony at the Force Base botanical gardens. I’m not particularly religious, so it was a simple civil ceremony performed by Force General King, whose rank means he can officiate all kinds of things. He was a bit perplexed when I asked if he’d do my wedding, but he was happy to oblige. 

There are some very impressive wedding pictures of us surrounded by all these weird and wonderful plants, with me in my wedding gown and Stiltskin in his full dress uniform... 

They were both wonderful ceremonies and I wouldn’t trade either of them for the world.

“The Dividing Line” - Ray Wilson live // Genesis

Sometimes we believe if we close our eyes The rain might wash it away That’s why we stumble and we fall Not the words that you wanted to hear Not the things that you wanted to see

“Calling all stations” is surely the most underrated Genesis album. It was an album of a band trying to re-invent itself. After Genesis lost their second front-man with Phil Collins leaving, they made a bold move to hire young Scottish singer/songwriter Ray Wilson, who had his “15 minutes of fame” with the one-hit wonder “Stiltskin” and their chart-breaker “Inside”. Funnily enough (and this story is true), when I first heard this song on the radio back in 1994, I instantly had to think about Genesis. I have no clue why. Stiltskin was the epitome of Euro-grunge, and had nothing whatsoever in common with “battleship” Genesis. Maybe it was the underlying drama this song holds, I can’t say. Or maybe it was just the sheer fact that back then my (real) obsession with Genesis started, and so I compared everyone and everything to this band. Can you imagine my surprise when Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford announced Ray Wilson to be the replacement for Phil Collins? Well… nobody can replace Phil Collins. Just as nobody can replace Peter Gabriel. Genesis tried a new start. And they failed. In many ways because they tried to *replace* Phil instead of trying something new. You cannot produce “success” in art. Not in the long run. Success is work, dedication, passion, and persistence. Not giving up. Re-inventing yourself over and over, while keeping the “spirit” alive. And that spirit was there in “Calling all stations”. Sure, CAS is not their strongest album. Anything but. But there are some gems on it. Like “The Dividing Line”. To me it channels the spirit of ABACAB, the probably biggest cut in Genesis’ career. A tight and powerful piece of music that stands in direct opposition to the many (some might call them) over-produced and super-polished records they made before and after. Many fans showed Genesis the cold shoulder after that. But many others realized that what Genesis did there was the exact opposite of what some self-righteous morons accused them of. They did what THEY wanted. And not what people expected them to do. And that is what Genesis always did. Like… seriously… would anyone have guessed that “I can’t dance” would become a hit? Seriously? Come ON! I always had deepest respect for Genesis’ “not giving a shit” attitude, if it comes to music. And their way of making people listen. First by Peter Gabriel’s on stage theatrics. Later by the craziest light-shows you can imagine (Genesis was the first band to use Varilights) and Phil Collins’ unique way of engaging the audience.  And then… well… then… then came Ray. And never got the chance to develop his own unique way to *be* Genesis. Not with the band. Yet I love the Ray Wilson “era”. “WHAAAAT?!”, some die-hard Genesis fans scream loudly, “HOW DARE YOU?!” Funnily enough, even many of the otherwise so strongly opposed “Peter vs. Phil”-dimwits agree: “Calling All Stations” and the 1998 tour was the low-point of Genesis. Some even call it the “death of a band”. It always amused me to see these “Peter vs. Phil” fan-fights. “Peter Gabriel was Genesis” - yeah… sure… why did he need a band then? Well… he didn’t. And he proved that with his amazing solo career and some of the most phenomenal songs ever written in music history. But what he did by himself was very different to what he did with Genesis. And what Genesis did without him. And what Phil Collins did was also different. And what Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett, Anthony Philips… did was different… A band is more than the sum of its parts. And… just for me to understand: Who the fuck are you to tell a band what to do or not to do? If you like their stuff, buy their music, go to the shows. If you don’t… well… then don’t. Simple. Genesis tried a new start with the new “part” Ray Wilson. And they failed. So, yes, I agree… the death of band. But not because of Ray. I saw Ray live twice. And he is different. He is a singer through and through. A storyteller. A calm, and almost introverted person with an amazing voice (surely one of the best voices in rock history), and massive charisma. But he needs space. And he would have needed time. And that is not what he was allowed to have. Because Genesis lost “being Genesis” after the 1998 CAS tour when they (and allegedly it was Mike Rutherford) decided to kill the legacy of “not giving a damn what people want”. THAT was when Genesis sold out. And that is the real shame. Nevertheless… I love Genesis’ Ray Wilson “era” and the way Ray Wilson still plays and re-interprets the old songs. Because it shows what Genesis could have been: A *living* legend.
