#which is very exciting too

Have you seen the latest article about Charlie’s biography? I saw it on udiscovermusic. It sounds like it will be an outpouring of love for Charlie with new interviews from the band and his family. Even his sister has been interviewed. Why does it sound like I’m writing a press release? Lol I was going to read it no matter what but now I’m really excited.

Yes! It all looks wonderful. Mick and Keith are both doing forwards, which I think is really sweet. They both had very close friendships with Charlie in addition to the bond between the three of them, so it’s nice that they both get space to talk about that and why Charlie was important.

Also good to know that both the family and the band signed off on this book, which is why it’s authorized. According to a band statement:

“Our dear friend Charlie Watts was not just a fantastic drummer but a wonderful person. He was funny and generous and a man of great taste and we miss him terribly. It’s great that his family have authorized this official biography by Paul Sexton, who’s been writing and broadcasting about Charlie and the band for many years.”

And, like you mentioned, his sister Linda, as well as the other Stones, friends/colleagues, and Dave Green, his close friend since age 4 and the bassist for all of his jazz projects. Paul Sexton’s, the author, comments are quite promising too, because it seems like he’ll be bringing a real love for Charlie as well as knowledge of his biography.

“One of Charlie’s good friends said to me that he was a very easy man to love. Having had the pleasure of his company on so many occasions over the course of more than a quarter of a century, that’s a sentiment I echo wholeheartedly.”

Mike Edison’s Sympathy for the Drummer was an amazing analysis of Charlie’s importance and innovative nature as a musician, so it would be fantastic to see a book that does a good job celebrating his life to go along with it.

#looks like I’ll be in London in mid-September #so I can buy it then instead of the October US/international release date #which is very exciting too #(plus I pre-ordered on my old UK Amazon account for a Kindle edition so I should get it either way) #I apologize ahead of time for the fact that I’ll probably just be relentlessly posting quotes from it for like a week #I’m a sucker for Keith + Charlie content #and Dave + Charlie content #Dave is awesome #the rolling stones #charlie watts #keith richards #old married band #mick jagger #ronnie wood #ask response #anonymous #paul sexton

I love how you draw Grim the size of a small cat. It genuinely blows my mind that according to the game he's actually approximately 70 cm tall... Like, Ortho is 148 cm. That's only two Grims! If Grim stands on Ortho's head, they'd be just a bit taller than Malleus (who is 202 cm and I'm not sure that's counting the horns)! The proportions are just so wild to try to imagine realistically... (and I do like the small cat Grim take more, it's very endearing)

every time I remember Grim is actually supposed to be the size of, like, a medium-to-largeish dog, and then I just...draw him cat-sized anyway. I also think it's cuter that way! 🤷 (let's just say he's not allowed to ride the servant unless he takes the shrinking potion first.)

ultimately I figure we all get a little artistic license in our fanart, and mine are:

#twisted wonderland #as far as i can tell this is not a furret situation and that 70cm does not include his tail #grim's just a big boy #a big boy who needs big helpings of tuna to sustain his giant head #(waiting for him to pull a persona and crack open to reveal a handsome anime man underneath) #i do like wide/buff silver too even though i know that isn't really canon #(i'll argue for buff sebek but silver i think is supposed to be more wiry/people are constantly surprised by how strong he is anyway) #i just...like the contrast of Two Big Guards for lilia the excitable twig and malleus the long wet drip of a man #and as long as jack remains the widest in the land i figure it all evens out somehow #(if i remember right malleus' height does include the horns) (and i think jack's includes his ears and hair which is even funnier somehow) #(i have seen some attempts to figure it out but i don't think there's ever been an official answer on height without their sticky-up bits) #(looking at the height chart mal looks about the same height as the twins and jack very slightly shorter. but that's just eyeballing it) #(don't ask how the 1cm difference between jade and floyd factors in i don't know)

BETTER CALL SAUL!

#this was mostly a test run on procreate dream! #its pretty good but it has a LOT of room for improvement #which i know the developers have been working on since the app is still technically in beta! #but hey i did this in like 3 weeks while working a full time job and also working on other art so #its pretty damn powerful software #good shit if you use procreate already!! #literally the biggest flaws rn are a lack of selection tool an undo/redo button and #and the app itself has a tendency to crash or slow down if theres “too much” going on #like i had to delete all but one of the preloaded animations just so the app would run smoother while i worked #so its still very clearly in its early phase but its good and im excited to see what the developers will do with it #ok review over #better call saul #saul goodman #bcs #jimmy mcgill #breaking bad #animation #brba #video #procreate dreams

“and his face was suddenly demented, inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog stuck in the burning house behind them,”

rereading the books for the snape scenes

#its real unhinged snape hours. #i encourage all snartists to draw this scene its just too iconic #also ‘dog stuck in burning house’ only conjures up image of the ‘THIS IS FINE’ dog meme for me #which is also very fitting for snape #im …still sketching ideas for snapecelebration week 3 its taking so long its getting out of hand #but im like REALLY excited for it…… #mine #harry potter #severus snape #snape #hp fanart

still sorting out how to feel about it but fuck ncuti was just insantly beyond all expectations. King

#i feel sad his first appearance was sort of playing second fiddle to tennant and he didnt get a proper regen or anything #but i am soooooo excited for him to get started in earnest #plot wise probably my favorite of the specials but that was pretty unhinged #my full conclusion is that rtd is the most self indulgent showrunner alive which works for him but is also very Apparent lmao #doc who #doctor who spoilers #like whys ncuti feeling like a companion/side character in his own show like???? #as someone who isnt a tengirl it’s like. Okay. #also as someone who enjoyed the donna tragedy SORRY #like these specials were really not For Me which is fine. but lets get going cmon 💪 #i’ll just never be a happy ending enjoyer i need it to be at least bittersweet which is why i like this show lol. too happy booooo #me and capaldi being like ITS SAD. ITS ABOUT DEATH. rtd putting his hands in his ears and playing with action figures #which he has the right to do i wish him nothing but happiness also 14 and 15 sjould have fucked

just found out my local library does indeed have sunny seasons 8-10 on dvd so i guess i'm ripping that shit tomorrow

i mean what. legally watching. legally playing them in my legal dvd drive. you will not see the efforts of this endeavor online in any way shape or form and definitely not find the bonus features uploaded to my internet archive at any point.

#ada speaks #hoping theyre not scratched to shit #very very excited to see the season 10 dvd in person it's a thing of beauty #they have up to 14 on dvd but no bonus features and i have 11 and it's like. just. trash. like there is no reason to own anything after 8 #does anyone really want bonus feature-less 480p dvd episodes of sunny #release a bluray boxed set fx i am not asking #but yes. yeah. season 9 has actual bonus features and i can rip s8's finally too #i have the s8 bluray but i cant fucking rip them bc of. various. technical issues. #screen recording works but it's not the correct fps which drives me nuts #i will always take a proper DL vs RIP even if its 480p vs 1080p

she's also british and she sent me voice notes and her accent is SOOO ATTRACTIVE AAHHHHH and she's only looking for a serious relationship which is super attractive too!!! <3 we'll see how it goes, but either way we both agreed to be friends if the vibes aren't gay!

#lay text #she kept doing cute shy little laughs in her voicenotes it was soooo endearing :') #she's a fandom girlie like me which is so fun! she writes m/m smutty fanfics kjgdskgj #i'm nervous bc i was also my ex's first relationship and i don't wanna be an experiment or just whoever she found first or smtg?? #bc ik when you haven't dated yet you're just excited to date #but i want to be chosen. and i want a love story forreal #so yeah i'm gonna see how things go and ask more questions! #i don't want to rush into the wrong thing y'know and i have very specific requirements and needs etc #she says she's more demisexual too so i want to go slow but i also do NOT want to end up in a mostly sexless relationship bc that suuuucked #so yeah i'm curious to learn more abt her!!! and everytime i go on a date i learn more abt myself too :]

“least favorite” isn’t anywhere close to bad. it just shows how damn hard the competition is going, but we’re talking about gold medals all around for each actor i’ve seen portray the doctor so far.

#and again on acting alone. i think i might prefer him over tennant in the long run. #which isnt saying tenannt is bad either its saying like. i just love them both but i love what smith brings to the table just slightly more. #i dont really put the war doctor on my rankings very seriously because he only had the one rpisode. and it was. a bad episode. #but his performance endeared me enough to him eith his haunted eyes and the weight he’s carrying that i would. possibly with a bias. #put him between ten and eleven. #and then first place depends on the day but i think twelve has pulled ahead of nine just barely. like damn. capaldi Gets It man. eccleston #also Got It in similar ways but obviously his shorter tenure did give him less tjme to show it off and twelve’s gotten three seasons to show #just how fantastically capaldi pulls together this grieving weirdo. this man who loves so hard it burns him up. who is so scared of his own #goodness and losing it. he’s so good guys. #god i cant wait to see where jodie falls on this list im really excited for her take. and mr gatwa too. #and the classic who guys obviously. i mean i already like the guy they get to play One in the audios and im really curious how he measures #up against hartnell(?)’s original performance #i know the vibes will be very different than those of nuwho but im excited :)
