#no wonder they adored him that much

[waugh-bao]

Ron I’d particular comment reminded me of a concert I was watching where Charlie threw his empty juice bottle off stage. I thought that was unusual for him. A few moments later he is talking to someone and pointing, I’m sure asking them to pick up the bottle. I imagine he was like ‘I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me’ and had to make sure the bottle was placed in the trash. Unrelated but have you seen his Q magazine 2008 interview? A good one.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a grip strength issue. His hands were often in painfully bad shape after a show.

So my guess would be that he misjudged how good a hold he had on the bottle and let go when he only meant to swing his arms forward a little.

I hadn't until you mentioned it, but thank you for pointing me that way, because it's really, really good. Which is a relative rarity with Charlie interviews.

First off, perfect title and subheading.

But I thought the bits about "keeping Mick and Keef in line", and just Mick and Keith in general, were incredibly striking. And quite touching, to be honest.

As always, Keith has a good quote for the occasion.

"Charlie is incredibly honest, brutally honest. Lying bores him. He just sees right through you to start with. And he's not even that interested in knowing, he just does. That's Charlie Watts. He just knows you immediately. If he likes you, he'll tell you things, give you things, and you'll leave feeling like you've been talking to Jesus Christ."

But he's right. The two biggest things you notice in the profile are that he sugarcoats nothing (if there's anyone he's brutal on, it's himself), and that he clearly not only loves Mick and Keith deeply, but knows them totally.

Not least because he'd been dealing with them at their worst for longer than most marriages.

Journalist: You're often perceived as the mediator.

Charlie: No, it's more that I'm just stuck in the middle. I get along with Mick and Keith, so if ever they don't get on for that minute...

He never tries to hide Mick's flaws, but it's obvious that his faults and foibles aren't what really matters to Charlie.

Journalist: What were your impressions of Mick when you first met him? He's from a more middle-class background.

Charlie: I don't know, really. I never felt that. Looking at him now, in that movie [Shine A Light], with all the old footage, you think, "Fucking hell", but he's still the same to me, in many ways. Really, though, I think Mick has become a nicer bloke as we've got older. He's an even nicer fella now than when he was younger. Wisdom has brought some mellowing, maybe, while Keith's exactly the same. I've always got on with Mick, but I find him much easier to talk to now than when we were younger.

The section about Keith...gosh, where to start.

It is very amusing to see him echoing everyone else in saying that Keith's not nearly so scary as he wants to come off as.

Journalist: Some people say Keith has the darker temper of the two [Glimmer Twins]. Is that right?

Charlie: I think that he shows his temper quicker, that's all. Keith will say he'll hit you, but most likely won't, while Mick wouldn't even say it.

But he's also quick to do what I think he may do better than anyone else in the band, which is give genuine insight on Keith and cut through the image. He knows there's something deeper than a make pretend pirate or a battered old junkie there, and he wants other people to see it too.

Journalist: I saw Keith at the Berlin Film Festival in February, where he was being his stereotypical self, all one-liners and slurred speech. Is he really like that?

Charlie: Yes, although Keith plays up to his reputation a bit. He exaggerates a few things. But basically how you saw him is how he is; he's very funny, normal, kind. Mick and Keith are great at the one-liners. Keith's very lucid and very bright. Keith reads tons, a lot of history. He is erudite and intelligent. But you're right, in those circumstances he does play up the side people want to see. But, of course, he is like that as well. He's incredibly self-sufficient. He's pretty good at cooking, too!

And the last part, well, speaks for itself.

Journalist: You bonded with Keith very early on.

Charlie: I think I recognized a lot of Keith. When the Stones get together, it's like school days again. It's run like being in the army, and it feels like being at school. Honestly, I almost know what Keith thinks. It's like we've been in the same class for so long, and we've been through so much together.

#honestly I love all of it #especially the comments about Keith #no wonder they adored him that much #he was so insightful #and kind #the rolling stones #the married trio #ask response #anonymous #mick jagger #keith richards #charlie watts #old married band

the way garak looks at bashir as he puts all the clues together at the end of cardassians. the sheer 'look at that little twink go (affectionate, sexual overtones)' energy he manages to convey in the background there as bashir passionately does the presentation of their group project that garak did 80% of the actual work on. immaculate

#star trek ds9 #deep space 9 #star trek #garashir #elim garak #his lil face journey as they speak to the lady about rugal coming to the orphanage too. adorable. 'it's so over oh we're so back' #also the revelation that garak is high as a kite not only for this but for most of the first two seasons. hysterical #I love him so much already. #'yes yes I'm sure we're ALL very sad about the orphans or whatever. I wouldn't know I haven't experienced a natural emotion in years' #(let's hope he's at least fooling himself at this point) #ALSO also. sisko in his bathrobe in the middle of the night b/c 'so uh dad my unhinged new boyfriend wanted me to ask #if we could borrow the car. no he didn't say why. yeah I'm sure he has a driver's license he was like in the army or something #btw he snuck into my room while I was sleeping and I didn't notice a thing lmao isn't he cool???' #sisko you deal with so much all of the time and there aren't enough medals they could give you for it #bashir going 'tell me what's going on in your head or I stg I'll turn this runabout around'...... yes. yes wonderful

Give me professor Hob who’s done safe zone training. Give me professor Hob who has a rainbow flag hung up in his office. Give me professor Hob who attends events (theater productions, dance recitals, etc) because his students are in them and asked him to be there. Give me professor Hob who fully and openly supports (and heavily donates to) the queer communities on his campus. Give me professor Hob who holds his office hours at his pub and is always willing to offer a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on for his students. Give me professor Hob who has inclusive attendance and classroom policies. Give me professor Hob who isn’t afraid to swear in class. Give me professor Hob who ignites a passion for history in every student in his class, even those who are taking it for throwaway elective credits. Give me professor Hob who cares and cares and cares about his students, who has a love of life that he passes on to others, who surrounds himself by other optimistic people not because he’s selective about his friends but because everyone around him slowly finds themselves becoming more optimistic solely through exposure to such enthusiastic and freely-given joy

#brb making myself cry #I adore Hob as a character concept #a man who loves life so much that he refused to ever die #who passes that love on to everyone he meets #he makes me so soft #no wonder Dream was looking at him like That ™ in 1789 and 2022 #hob gadling #dreamling #ferdinand kingsley #the sandman #sandman netflix

God I am so happy we could recruit him in Azure Gleam.

#the idea of Annette being like 'hey. Mercie. ik we talked about your messed up family but uh. did you know he was the death knight?' #and mercedes going 'Nope!' is very funny to me #also I adore the dynamic Dedue has with these two and I definitely think he would try and look out for him #but he would probably see Jeritza's bloodlust and be like 'hm. i wonder if I should encourage him to talk to his majesty.' #Mercedes and Annette baking him sweets in the meantime #let the poor guy have some peace man #i mean that for dedue and jeritza tbh #dedue has to put up with so much and jeritza is just... jeritza. #fewth #fire emblem warriors three hopes #three hopes #fire emblem #fewth fanart #fanart #art #digital art #doodle #my art #mercedes von martritz #dedue molinaro #annette fantine dominic #jeritza von hrym #emile von bartels

Interest Check: Isopuppy Plushies

Anyone interested in buying isopuppy plushies?

Either as a pattern or actual sewn-by-me toys. Because I have crocheted So Many Toys over my children, and I am thinking it's time to go back to sewing for awhile, but I should also stop rampantly making toys without homes to send them to. So. Casual interest check. I am absolutely making one for myself; this just determines if I should go through the effort of making an actual pattern so I can replicate the process.

#interest check #I like making things #then I run out of room for the things #the tragedy of the compulsive crafter #I have made Two Entire Blankets over this newborn and husband is very supportive #but I can see him eyeing our overfull blanket closet #and wondering when we will have so many blankets that he is inevitably smothered in his sleep #I would offer to sell crocheted blankets but they would be So Expensive #if you ever get a crocheted anything from someone #make sure to thank them profusely #because that is hours and hours of love #that is also why this isn't an offer for crocheted isopuppies #I could make a pattern for that easy #but oh boy would it take so much time compared to a sewn version #not looking for a cost prohibitive Seal Jerky here #just an adorable impulse-buyable pupper #I REALLY want to make little bean-filled ones that can curl up into baseball-sized balls for Playing Fetch #and a bigger version with suction cups on the legs so Good Boys can go up walls (or at least windows and bathroom mirrors) #but what I SHOULDN'T do is make a million hilarious versions that are going to collect dust #ADOPT AN ISOPUPPY TODAY #avatar the last airbender #atla #Salvage #Zuko #the amazin

New actress, same script: Harry’s coupled. The effect is publicity doubled: He gets post-tour mentions, Her name gets attention From an audience easily hustled.

Me, as I'm about to start playing coral island: I don't know who I'm going to marry in this game. Mark caught my attention right away but I want to get to know the characters better before I make my decision, maybe I'll like someone more than him :)

Me, three seconds into the game, running around the island: WHERE IS HE? WHERE'S MARK? BRING ME MY FUTURE HUSBAND!!

#coral island #the way I'm simping for that man #to be fair he is like a video game version of my bf when it comes to looks and body type so it's no wonder i like him so much #but rafael is low-key stealing my attention by being an absolute adorable cutie #and Raj with his coffee hyper fixation like yeees babe tell me more about what kinds coffee grinder is the best *hearteyes* #but also the ladies!!! chaem is so mean to me and im like yes please do it more #Aaliyah is so freaking cute too I just need to get to know her better #aaaaaa and macy!!! shes so sweet omg and so cute #this game is a bisexuals nightmare how am i supposed to pick just one person to marry 😭

[bbqhooligan]

going crazy going actually crazy about how at the end of Teruhashi's evil monologue Saiki states hes impressed with the execution, comments on how he couldnt pick it up from her thoughts and starts, with a rather amused voice, to say "You know..." and ill bet my soul he was going "You know what you worked very hard and everything else is solved. you deserved your date Teruhashi-san" IT HANGS IN THE AIR I CAN HEAR IT I CAN SMELL IT I CAN T A S T E IT

#mypost #saiki k live action #saiki kusuo #saiki k #teruhashi kokomi #saiteru #terusai #HE WAS GONNA GIVE HER THE DATE SHE WORKED SO HARD TO GET. #biting growling etc #live action saiki seems very VERY subtly into teruhashi. the way hes caught in surprise when she genuinely worries abt him #the last lingering look he gives her #its giving “shes my sweet trouble sigh” AUGH AUGH AUGH #hes softer than animated saiki thats for sure. #the way he wonders the kabedon. the way he refuses to go to feeling couple????? in his words??? #“if im coupled with teruhashi in the Feeling Couple ill stand out too much” THATS ALL YOUR HOLDUP???? BRO? #kento yamazaki thank you.....for subtly interested saiki i adore him #anime voices dont care for her at all god bless.
