[the-whispers-of-death]

how would stone and his variants react to reader cheating on them?

Canon!Stone would be extremely hurt, he trusted you. And you cheated on him. He'd break up with you and probably wouldn't date someone else for a long time. Same goes for Girl Dad!Stone.

Grim Reaper!Stone thinks it's the ultimate betrayal. You made him consider himself as an actual person and not the weapon he thought he was and then you went and cheated on him. How could he have meaning and value if you threw his love away like it was a toy? So he closes himself back up, because if all he was to you was a toy, then surely that's all he ever will be.

Criminal!Stone wouldn't know what to do. He's hurt, but you're his mafia boss, his self-proclaimed deity. He can't just abandon you. So he attempts to brush it off, your importance is bigger than his and thus you should be allowed to cheat and hurt him. He's so down bad for you that he'll excuse it all. As long as he has the privilege of being in your presence.

Baker!Stone is hurt and will lick his wounds for months later, but he will hold firm and cut you out of his life. You want to throw away your guys' relationship? Fine with him, he has had therapy and he knows a healthy relationship. And he strives for one, so if you can't give it to him, he'll move onto someone else.

Feral!Stone is absolutely enraged by this because he's an arrogant piece of shit. What do you mean you cheated on him? No, no, that won't do. He's biting you and he might just kill you.

Serial Killer!Stone just becomes cold with you. You better hope you never commit a crime he finds egregious, because his love for you is tainted and if you commit an egregious crime, he'll hunt you down even with all of your romantic history.

Experiment!Stone's reaction is a lot like Grim Reaper!Stone's, in that he just closes himself off again. He thought he wasn't a monster, you taught him that he wasn't a monster. But clearly he was if you felt the need to cheat on him.

Vampire!Stone just scoffs because he'll hopefully be alive for such a long time and time does eventually heal emotional wounds. He tells himself that one day, he won't even remember you, much less the pain you brought him. So it's best he starts thinking of you as his past now.

Werewolf!Stone doesn't understand what he did wrong. Werewolves are meant to be family-oriented. He thought he'd expand his pack with you, grow old with you. And now everything's upside down. He's confused on how to feel.

was having trans marty thoughts again and i came to a realization about this scene

[the-whispers-of-death]

"I love you"

I was thinking about Stone and his variants and their responses to if you said you love him (along with my little comments). It's a little angsty for some of them and for Serial Killer!Stone you get a little more insight on why he thinks loving him always ends in tragedy.

Stone/Canon!Stone: "You do? ...No one has ever loved me before."

(Canon!Stone truly has no idea what to do with someone who loves him, huh?)

Girl Dad!Stone: "Ever since my early adult years, I thought only Saira would be the one to say those words to me. I love you too."

(There's enough room in his heart to love you and Saira.)

Grim Reaper!Stone: "You don't have to pretend to love me. I'm already your weapon to wield."

(Every time I think about him, it hurts. And here I thought Canon!Stone hurt me the most.)

Criminal!Stone: "I love you too. You're the air I breathe."

(Please stop him before he tells you about how you're his entire universe. We get it, you're obsessed with the mafia boss, Criminal!Stone.)

Baker!Stone: "You have no idea how much I love you too. I want to marry you. Please do me the honor of calling myself your husband?"

(Baker!Stone is so soft and sweet. He'll buy you the most expensive engagement and wedding ring he can afford.)

Feral!Stone: "As you should."

(I have no words for this response except for that it somehow fits Feral!Stone so much. Why does he think you should worship the very ground he walks on?? Where did this arrogance come from??)

Serial Killer!Stone: "The last man to love me died in a dirty alleyway with no one around to be with him in his last moments."

(Fun fact, Kali and Serial!Stone were dating and Kali was on his way to propose to Stone when he got mugged. Yes, Kali's death was the preverbal straw that broke the camel's back and got Stone into vigilantism.)

Experiment!Stone: "I didn't think anyone would love me after what the military did to me. But I feel so happy that you love me because I love you too."

(He thinks he's a monster due to the fact that he's half-tiger-half-man now. But you remind him that he still has his humanity.)

Vampire!Stone: "Know that I'd burn in the sun for you if it meant you were safe."

(It's an odd way to say he loves you too, but at least the intention is there.)

Werewolf!Stone: "I don't need a huge pack, I just need you."

(That's his way of saying he wants to bear your pups. I mean, it's his way of saying he loves you.)

Oh my gosh your art is so beautiful!! How do you think S1 Robotnik and Stone would react to seeing their S3/ S4 versions being with each other?

They're judgy

That was... wonderful... to just hear it done for real, after... what? Four years of thinking about it? Wondering whether it would work, wondering if I'd written bits too fast, or too slow, or... to actually sort of... hear it done by real, professional people and the singers. It's... there isn't a word for it, actually.

Standing Stone, by Paul McCartney

Royal Albert Hall Performance (x)

Making Of Documentary (x)

Standing Stone is a 74 minute long classical piece of music, which Paul worked on for four years. It premiered at the Royal Albert Hall on 14 October 1997 with the London Symphony Orchestra and London Symphony Chorus, conducted by Lawrence Foster.

After his success with his first classical piece, The Liverpool Oratorio, Paul was commissioned to create some music to celebrate EMI's centenary. He came up with the idea of exploring "the way a Celtic man might have wondered about the origins of life and the mystery of human existence" and tied this in the with standing stones which to him symbolised something mystical and long lasting.

Photos by Linda McCartney, included on the album.

Paul wrote a poem to assist in getting the story he was trying to convey straight in his head, and it was printed in the booklet of the album. However, Paul wanted the music to work without the listener necessarily knowing the story, for the music to speak for itself, and so wanted to create a piece that "relies entirely on colours and effects drawn from orchestral and choral forces".

He also created two paintings to go alongside it:

I really recommend watching the documentary, Paul is absolutely delightful throughout the whole thing. It's the first time he'd used a computer and software to help him compose and he seems so excited to talk about it (and he has a Wallace & Gromit mouse mat!).

What's also interesting is how the rest of the team spoke about him. They all make a point that this was Paul's creation, and although David Matthews, John Harle, and Richard Rodney Bennet were brought in to assist with the composition, they all talk about Paul's talent, hard work, and the freshness of approach he brought. (The words 'benevolent dictator' may get used at some point, but they also speak of his kindness and generosity.)

It amazes me that someone with no formal music training could make a leap for pop/rock to classical. Composing for an entire 80 piece orchestra and 120 member choir is a completely different skillset to writing a song for the radio (and I'm not saying that's a lesser thing to be able to do, just different). The fact Paul was not only willing to take on the challenge and push himself, but created something so magical speaks to the sheer creative force that he is.
