“Our job is to love people. When it hurts. When it’s awkward. When it’s uncool and embarrassing. Our job is to stand together, to carry the burdens of one another and to meet each other in our questions.”

RECOLLECTIONS IN MOTÖRMUSIC -- ON THE BEGINNINGS OF THE BAND IN 1975.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on group portraits (2/3 of the group, anyway) of Lemmy Kilmister and Lucas Fox of a then up-and-coming MOTÖRHEAD, photographed in Covent Garden, London, UK, c. June 1975. 📸: Ian Dickinson.

Q: "How did you met Lemmy?"

LUCAS FOX: "It was at the Speakeasy and through Motorcycle Irene who was someone I spent a lot of time with…"

Q: "Did you know well guys from PINK FAIRIES, HAWKWIND and what do you think about them, did you do something together with them, hang out?"

LUCAS: "Lemmy and I had been hanging out together for a long time every time he wasn't on tour… I met and got to know loads of people and musicians in that period, Paul Kossof (FREE).. Steve Took (T. REX…), Chris Wood (TRAFFIC) – they were a real bunch of characters… went to lots of parties and crazy endings (in bed with several girls…always pretty, often crazy!) I got on well with Nik Turner, Simon King, and Alan Powell (Hawkwind), Dikmik (ex Hawkwind) and I became close for years, Sandy Sanderson, Twink (Pink Fairies). We were all going to the same parties, clubs, pubs etc…"

Esta es una foto de grupo que muestra a dos familias de Macedonia. En la imagen aparecen las familias de Isak Kolonomos y Teliko Tahula. En 1936, estas dos familias construyeron una casa en Bitola para compartirla. Este acuerdo era poco común en esa época porque la familia Kolonomos era judía y la familia Tahula era cristiana.

Entre las personas en la foto (sentados detrás de la mesa, de izquierda a derecha) están un hombre no identificado, Teliko Tahula, los hermanos Menahem y Kalef Kolonomos, Isaak Kolonomos, y algunos trabajadores no identificados. En la fila de atrás (de izquierda a derecha) están la señora Tahula, Djamila Kolonomos (madre de Isaak), Antigone Tahula, Esterina Kolonomos (madre de Jamila), las hermanas Rachela y Bela Kolonomos, y trabajadores no identificados.

hiiiiii could you tell us what freak fortress is? we haven't heard of it before but we've enjoyed watching tf2 stuff over the years!! :0

I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED !!!

well, honestly. freak fortress is a little hard to describe. yknow how back in the day gmod and sfm videos were needlessly gory and nonsensical? that’s… 70% of freak fortress. But it’s good! It’s good i swear

freak fortress’ main charm (to me) is all the characters people make! if you wanna get started on getting into FF or just learning about freaks in general, i recommend checking out the Freakshow Universe wiki! (the regular Freakshow wiki is fine too, i just prefer the FSU one!)

freaks are, very typically, bloodthirsty and murderous, but there are friendly and neutral freaks too! some “starter” freaks i think are a good starting point are Painis, Intelligent Heavy, Brutal, Weaselcake and Soldine! every freak’s wiki page link to videos featuring/starring them ^_^

there’s also a Freak Fortress gamemode in actual TF2, based on VS. Saxton Hale. and a few freaks appear in the Slender Fortress gamemode too :)

i do also have to say, FF really is a relic of its time, but a lot of content and Freaks themselves are. Outdated, to put mildly. These were characters and videos made in the 2010’s so there are some bad eggs and there’s humor that can be considered very unsavory nowadays, but I really do mean it’s a small percentile in an otherwise very, very charming (and entertaining) look into the sfm/gmod community of the time!

I really like Freak Fortress. and i’m very happy to be able to share it with people 😁

The gorgeous @confusedwithglitter commissioned me to draw a scene (or desired scene to be!) within their chronicle of the player character Geneveieve surpassing and unseating her sire - the Primogen Lord Regent! The real scene may not be so bloody, but no doubt the slaying of your sire will feel like a bloodbath that will stain you for the rest of your eternity. <3 Thank you SO much for commissioning me! This was a blast!!

Some closer shots as Tumblr eats big pictures!
