Hi! What's your happiest memory related to your favorite fandom? :)

Hands-down, bar-none: making friends. I met @palfriendpatine66 and @willameena and @evieswips and @kittonafoxgirl (and others!) in the comments of Solsbury Hill, and have made more friends since in the comments sections of their fics (If you want fandom friends, gush in the comments of people's fics and they'll love you for life, honestly) and they bring me joy every single day. 100/10 experience, would friend again. Thank you for the ask!

And now for peak content. Peter Gabriel filmed on a nintendo 3ds

Me, every time I go to the thrift store: “someone tell Obi-Wan and Satine there’s lots of crockpots here!!”

(This is a Solsbury Hill reference, the slow burn Obikin modern AU fic written by the brilliant @grapenehifics. I stayed up all night reading it once and I think it permanently rewired my brain, lol. I’ve re-read it countless times since then.)

Today it's Peter Gabriel's turn to ruin my plan of going to sleep early.

Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel

as performed by me

[satureja13]

Jack stepped out of the portal. So his version takes place in Moonwood Mill! And he is standing right before the Bunker! This means Noxee will be his guide! Oh he's so excited! (Since she lives here. Noxee was Jack's first crush.)

But no one was around. So Jack went to the cliff above Lake Lunvik to get an overview. He told Little Goat to stay near the Bunker. Moonwood Mill is full of wolves who would love a little goat appetizer before dinner.

He arrived at the cliff just at the border between night and day. But where is Noxee?

Oh no - he knows that smell. It's Greg! Why their former PE teacher of all creatures?

Greg: "Is this how you dress when you enter the otherworld? Show a little respect!" Jack: "These are my best trousers!" (Yes, now. Since he ripped his best trousers the other day...)

And when Greg asked Jack what he wants to let go, there was only one answer: "You! I want to let go of you! Go where ever you want but don't cross my way anymore! What are you even doing here? And where is Noxee?"

'So I went from day to day, though my life was in a rut 'Til I thought of what I'd say, which connection I should cut'

Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill

Greg: "Well, let's have a fight. If you win, you will never see me again." Jack: "Agreed! You must know, I never loose a fight!" (Well except against Kiyoshi. But only because Kiyoshi is his alpha and also fights with Jack's strength. This won't happen with Greg, Jack is sure.) And so they went to the fighting grounds and Greg transformed.

But Jack lost again! How is this possible? Maybe because it's the otherworld and the fight is tied to the offering?

Greg: "That was a weak offering. Your gain will be greater when you let something more important go, son." Jack: "Don't call me that! So - the most important thing in my life are my friends. I certainly won't let them go. Second is ... uhm... Pizza. (since their relationship is a secret, he can't say 'Kiyoshi') But I can't let that go either. But I will let my ... uhm let's say... 'weird obsession' for it go. That's my highest bid." (Jack is insanely jealous and has a lot of weird suspicions about Kiyoshi going on in his crazy head. Since Kiyoshi can't tell him about his actions concerning the Council and the Resistance. And that everyone (except Noxee) falls for his demonic charms doesn't make it easier...).

Greg: "Accepted. Let's call the horse then." They transformed back and waited for the horse. Greg: "There it comes!" Jack: "That's not a horse! What's wrong with you?" Greg: "Behind that girl! What's wrong with you!"

Ah there it is!

And it runs right past Jack! Just like Kiyoshi on their first date! Hahaha this game!

Jack: "He's wonderful! What's his name?" Greg: "Haha he's Lunatic, just like you!"

Lunatic: "Take that back!" Greg: "Sorry, pal."

Greg: "His name actually is 'Lunatic'. He's a Galineers Cob." ('Luna' = 'the moon' in many languages).

Time is short, the portal is overgrowing on the other side. And so Jack mounted and tried to steer Lunatic to the portal. But before they could discuss the deal there with Little Goat, Lunatic trotted right in the opposite direction.

Where they vanished into the woods...

listening to solsbury hill by peter gabriel is a euphoric experience

[wickedhawtwexler]

there’s this guy in his sixties or seventies who’s singing song after song from my karaoke jams playlist and i’m living for it

[prolibytherium]

I've been listening to your always sunny drawing ost and I've got to say you've some A+ taste in music. And I wanted to ask what your 3 favourites of Peter Gabriel's less popular songs are?

[FROTHING] I feel normal about this question

OK so this is a really hard one because I could not possibly narrow it down to three but I will do my best (also not going to include I/O since that just came out):

Humdrum (I love the musical tone shifts in the song, the way it slowly builds into that ethereal finale, etc)

Darkness (It sounds like a Nine Inch Nails song, the drop into that edgy industrial shit 30 seconds in is phenomenal, "I'm afraid of being mothered with my balls shut in a pen, I'm afraid of loving women and I'm scared of loving men" closest thing he's ever done to making gay music even if that's not the intended meaning, bi suffering yay!!!!)

No Self Control (This was the song that got me into PG for real, because up until then I had only heard stuff off So (which is a good album but probably his most conventional and pop-y work) and hearing this was like "Oh he actually gets a little weird with it". Also Kate Bush backing vocals and Phil Collins on drums is so good here)

Physically incapable of stopping myself from adding more so also 'Lay Your Hands On Me' (best PG love song bar none fuck a 'In Your Eyes'), 'Digging In The Dirt' (I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU etc). 'And Through The Wire' and 'Growing Up'. Also just the entirety of Car. I limited this post to one per album because it would probably be three songs from Car if not. Please listen to Car every song on it is incredible (except for 'Excuse Me' which isn't great). I could talk about every song on Car for hours. I love Car.

Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill

hey hi uhm… it’s only just me or obi-wan and anakin would be a gracefully disastrous pair at the olympics?

You have successfully identified one of my personal favorite things in the world, Obikin Okympics fics! Not to start by repping myself but I totally am, Solsbury Hill is, among other things, about Anakin qualifying for the U.S. Olympics team in swimming but (in very determined and dramatic Anakin fashion) never actually competing. @piecesofeden11 wrote Half-Pass and Half-Pipes about Obikin meeting and falling in love at the summer Olympics in dressage and skateboarding, and @underacalicosky has Edge of Greatness about Obi-Wan coaching Anakin to the (winter) Olympics in ice skating.

All of these are very near and dear to my heart, but I'm also always on the lookout for more, so if anyone knows of any Obikin Olympics fics I'm missing please let me know!

Still my only opinion on voltron is that Peter Gabriel could have made it to oriande

A night with Peter Gabriel. 🎤⬛️🔉🟪🎵

all the non classical/mark mothersbaugh songs in our flag means death season 1 were either from the 60s (cobra, the empty boat, our prayer) or 70s (miles from nowhere, avalanche, perfect day, the chain, high on a rocky ledge) so i think based on the trailer the season 2 songs are all gonna be from the 80s or possibly late 70s.
