"WE WERE THE BAND THAT WAS INFLUENCED BY MOTÖRHEAD AND THE SEX PISTOLS..."

KERRANG!: "There is a case to be made that, with the exception of BLACK SABBATH, VENOM are the most influential metal band of all time. Without VENOM, there's no METALLICA or SLAYER."

CRONOS: “I’d say that’s true, yes. We were the band that was influenced by MOTÖRHEAD and the SEX PISTOLS, but we took their sound and made something completely new out of it. We were completely new; no one had heard anything like us. And of course, unbeknown to us, in America there were these kids who were listening to our records and then shaping what we were doing into their own thing. SLAYER would be an example of that. And I agree, without us those bands either wouldn’t exist, or would sound very different from the way they do."

Wonder Woman - The All New Super Friends Hour (1977)

[a-strange-inkling]

In 1996, Philip decides to sell the family house and start fresh after Laura’s death. During the slow moving process, he begins going through shelves and shelves of old videos he’s compiled over the years. He had quite the expensive hobby with cameras back in the sixties through the eighties and was often the designated camera man and archivist for birthdays, family gatherings, school plays, and church events. When VCR players came out in the mid seventies he had all of his 8mm film converted to VHS tapes and stored them in his study where they all sit neatly.

As he goes through, his favorites are the home videos of Chrissy and Matt growing up when their family was happier and the world seemed simpler. He comes across one in particular that tugs at his heart strings, it was when he took Chrissy to the park for the first time at about one and half years old. He vaguely remembers Laura was holding a ladies meeting at the house and throwing one of her stress induced temper tantrums about the quality of the catering, so he thought it would be best to take the baby out for a few hours to get away from all the yelling and screaming. He remembers loving spending afternoons with just him and his little girl. It was always quiet and peaceful, she seemed to love listening to what he had to say. She was the sweetest, most well behaved child and she just loved to be outside or go for car rides.

While he wistfully watches long forgotten images of his baby girl toddling and babbling around the park, he remembers the friend she made that day, a little boy with brown curls around three who was there with his mother and it only takes him a moment to realize why the boy looks so familiar.

Went into the bookstore today like “i am buying one book MAX. maybe two if I see one I really want but that is IT.” and then walked out with four new books

[landwriter]

officially putting a publishing embargo on my own fics until i finish a few malingering wips and then releasing them together in one week because if there's one thing that's helpful and productive it's an all-or-nothing mentality

Man, that shade of blue is doing all kinds of wonders for me right now. What a great shot! Never seen this one before, either.
