So I’ve been thinking more about the asks I was sent about Keith on this tour and what the change up in concert structure (one solo song by Keith instead of two) portends for the band and the long term reception of this tour.
I’ve said it before, but I have to repeat, with even more emphasis, that I’m almost blown away by how much criticism there is of the musical quality of this tour 2 shows in. Especially after Keith has started sitting to play some of the songs.
There’s still people, generally Boomers, hitting back, but it’s never a real defense of their musical integrity or ability, just an appeal to age:
(Also the ‘they don’t need the money’ take is kind of stupid because UK death tax is a bitch and any of their British assets that aren’t tied up in the band’s Swiss based corporation are going to vanish by almost half when they’re split. Not to mention two of them have a ton of kids that it will probably need to be divided amongst. And Mick has always been money hungry).
And the rest of the comments look a lot more like this:
I was especially struck by the person who termed it ‘grading on a nostalgia curve’, because I think that’s a spot on description for the typical defense, whether it’s coming from Boomers who spent $800 on a ticket or not:
You may see it panned by individual critics or newspapers, I sincerely doubt any big music writers or magazines will be that harsh towards the tour because the Stones sell and they want access to the band more than integrity. It’s the same reason Hackney Diamonds got such glowing reviews. All the Stones’ albums since Steel Wheels get amazing mainstream reviews and then 5-10 years later everyone goes back and admits they weren’t that good/outright suck. By the same vein, I think once the band is genuinely over and a few years have passed, the consensus will shift to ‘they would have had a lot more integrity and dignity if they called it quits after No Filter, because everything that followed was the band rapidly becoming a parody of itself.’
And I do think the end is coming sooner rather than later. Tour insurance only becomes harder to secure with time (Mick would never take the risk of financially wiping himself out that personally guaranteeing a tour would run and most venues wouldn’t want to deal with liability that anyway) and they know it’s only getting worse musically whether or not they’ll ever own up to it. Embarrassment will win over eventually if physicals don’t. I tentatively doubt they’ll ever officially announce a last tour, because they have a longstanding aversion to the kind of pity involved in that, but I don’t seriously believe we’ll see more than one more European tour and maybe a final US/North America one.
I’ll close on the less depressing note of the unintentionally funniest (dark) comment/reply I’ve seen in a while:
#I was talking to one of the friends I’m going to the Gillette show with tonight#she thought it was funny that I turned out to be right when I predicted months ago that this tour wouldn’t have more than 3 HD songs played#at each show#which is less a testament to my Nostradamus like powers#and more spotting an album that sounds like a bad imitation of current pop written by an old man produced by a guy who looks like#a reject from the cast of Entourage#that wouldn’t translate well to stage because it’s so full of auto tune and other electronic tricks#god this really is the most depressing stones timeline#the rolling stones#hackney diamonds#hackney diamonds tour#keith richards#mick jagger#ronnie wood#youtube comments#following up on an ask

I'm jumping off a bridge. Their backstory is so tragic, I can't.
The fact that even Queenie being in the state she was, Kinger still found humanity in her, the fact that he risked his life knowing she could go crazy and attack him just so he could touch her one last time.
And the fact that Queenie allowed him to do it, the fact that she was able to keep control as a abstracted just so she could feel him. Because she loved him and he loved her back and both of them knew her fate, but in that moment, it was just them, their last moment together so both made it work.
This is such a powerful image I want to hug both of them.

Athena, goddess of wisdom, and all-powerful, being the only person that Annabeth could call on for help; being so cruel that she would be complicit in her daughter's death just out of spite.
Percy, age 12, weak and dying, having told Annabeth they could never be friends; not only sacrifices himself to save Annabeth's life without a minute's thought, but does it without her having to ask for help.

Hey y'all, now is a particularly good time to show solidarity with the Haitian refugee community of Ohio by donating to groups working on their behalf like The Haitian Bridge Alliance or Advocates for Basic Legal Equity.
The Republican goons are trying to stir up a racist hate mob against them based on extremely sinister lies. To hell with the sorts of people who want racist violence and for those of us nowhere near Ohio, this sort of donation is a decent way of telling both the Haitian community and their tormentors that we have the backs of refugees.
#On the beaches in the trenches on the fuckin cul de sacs we will fight these fuckers and we will win#Theirs is not a world that we can let come to pass#Having each other's backs is the genuine strength of the left as much as the well earned reputation of infighting suggests otherwise#But this is an important point to show them that an injury to one is an injury to all#We will not accept any targets they put on people no matter how disposable they want us to believe those people are.#Let's let 'em know

Logan not only held onto the photograph after the fight until he fell asleep but also kept it with himself until what he thought was going to be his last conversation with Wade.
Just prior to going into the chamber to destroy the Time Ripper, Logan gave the photo back to Wade because the man didn't think that he'd make it. He wasn't someone who expressed their emotions too eloquently but in that moment his expressions and voice conveyed what his heart truly felt. Seeing Wade teared up and realising that that moment could be their very last together, Logan let the voice of his heart take over.
That was their declaration of love.
#if that's not true love i don't know what is#this is their love language#this is how they show their love to each other#deadpool and wolverine#deadpool 3#wade wilson#james logan howlett#poolverine#deadclaws#loganpool#old man yaoi#imagine your otp#otp prompts#writing promt#marvel meta#mcu avengers edits#ryan reynolds#hugh jackman#deadpool x wolverine#mischievous thunder

Little Shadow 2/2
[ 1\2 ]
When I was little I thought my brother was the coolest person in the world. I wanted to be just like him!
Now that I’m older though, I’ve grown into my own person. Now, my brother and I can stand on equal footing, side by side. Whenever he asks for my help or advice, I will always remember how much he helped me when I was young, and I am immensely grateful to be able to do the same for him.
I don’t know if he misses having a little shadow, but I know he’s proud of me :)
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rise of the tmnt#rottmnt comic#rise mikey#rise leo#rottmnt leo#rottmnt mikey#t*cest dni#I love how Mikey and Leo both hype each other up and also are extremely competitive in the show#really speaks to the truth of brotherhood#they’re siblings your honor

“There is no platonic explanation for thi-“ Sprays u with water. Sprays u
#let platonic relationships be just as intimate if not more so than romantic ones#does the power of friendship mean NOTHING to you#Star talks#my demiromantic ass is out here struggling#if you default straight to romance if two characters show affection for each other then guess what buddy#you are weak and will not survive the winter#we have such wonderful sights to show you *shoves my webcomic into ur face*

you know. when i first picked up ace attorney i thought perhaps the thing between edgeworth and phoenix was being exaggerated but there is no subtext in this game. they really are like this. there’s no reading into anything they literally are just like this
#every time they talk to each other it is the gayest thing i have seen#also right before this Edgeworth makes a comment about being at Trucy’s magic show a day or so before like#you guys are coparenting ok got it lol#absolutely insane#im almost done with dual destinies i like it a lot!!#narumitsu#ace attorney

Danny Phantom is a solidly okay, so-so kind of cartoon, unless you have specific Danny Phantom-shaped receptors in your brain, in which case it is sublime
#danny phantom#enough time has passed that I pretty much forgotten the specifics of each episode.#and dang. this show is funny
