Andrew Eldritch for Bravo Magazine, 1992

Concerts are a horror for him! Eng translation under cut:

Bravo Talk Show: Stars One-on-One

Andrew Eldritch – Sisters of Mercy; Live concerts are a horror for me!

BRAVO: Do you actually never take your black sunglasses off? Andrew: Only when I go to sleep, otherwise never. My eyes have become very light sensitive because I’ve run around with lenses for several years. Daylight bothers me.

BRAVO: How’s your band, Sisters of Mercy? Andrew: I hardly know if it still is one. I’m still there, anyway. So sometime there will be something new from the Sisters of Mercy. Andreas (Bruhn) is doing a solo thing in Frankfurt. Tim (Bricheno) also has new ideas in mind. The last time we spoke with each other, he said to me that he doesn’t want to work with melodies anymore. I don’t know how that should work, in any case it won’t with the Sisters. I have no idea whether Tim has got something going for himself. I’m tense. Tony (James) hasn’t been around for a while. He’s not left the music business. As far as I know he develops ideas for new TV shows. At the festival shows this summer Andreas, Tim, and I stood at the front. In the second row we had two girls who played bass and took care of the computer.

BRAVO: What are you doing next? Andrew: I absolutely want to make a new record.

BRAVO: In the style of “Vision Thing,” your latest release? Andrew: Not necessarily. First we’ll see what Andreas and Tim will do. I’ll make what I like. But of course the songs will have melodies. Melody is essential. A groove alone or just with fancy sounds – that’s not enough for me. My ideal is that all three elements come together.

BRAVO: Has Andreas truly left? Andrew: I already think that he’s long gone with his new projects, at least in thought.

BRAVO: Is he a friend of yours? Do you feel like you’ve been left in the dust? Andrew: Not a very close friend. Andreas is much younger, born and raised totally different than me. We can work well together musically. But worlds lay between us. Culture shock! I hired Andreas because he’s a technical ace. At the beginning I really wasn’t interested in how philosophical he was about it. Thought that I could teach him to become a true Sister. But that’s harder than you think.

BRAVO: Why? What does your Sisters- and life-philosophy look like? Andrew: That, you can really only imply. I have two mottos: Entertainment or Death, and Truth, Justice, and a Damn Good Time. I’m radical. I want someone to be completely and utterly devoted to their cause. And the people just never do that. We never sit in the tour bus together and ask each other, what do you think about this or that topic. You sense for yourself whether you fit with someone or not. And you hear that also eventually in the music. Anyway, I also got off the bus and drove with the crew, because I just couldn’t listen to the endless shitty disco music and stupid jokes anymore.

BRAVO: What’s it like with the crew? Andrew: Continual party. But a different, difficult party. And I’ve known the boys for twelve years already, if I’ve added it up right.

BRAVO: Do you guys drink and smoke? Andrew: There’ll be partying. I love that about the tour. The only thing that bothers me terribly are the concerts every evening.

BRAVO: Do you suffer from stage fright? Andrew: Yeah, I always find performances embarrassing and brutishly stressful. I always have extra fog on the stage so that I can hide myself. Regardless, a gig is a royal pain.

BRAVO: Is it only the beginning that’s bad for you or the whole concert? Andrew: The whole concert is a horror. It’s like a rollercoaster. Sometimes you somehow have fun, but the terror always sets in again. And I’d like in the future to not willingly expose myself to such terror.

BRAVO: Will the Sisters not go live again, then? Andrew: I wouldn’t say that for sure. But I would love the most to only hide in the studio and make records. That’s my thing, I’m good at that. Naturally there’s also pleasant phenomena on tour, the parties, the girls etc. But that’s all just minor stuff. Giving interviews, taking photos, I find all that unimportant. There are other people who live precisely for these minor things and leave the music for others to make, who are better at it. That’s legitimate, just not really my thing.

BRAVO: Do you have a method, then, to get by during the concert? Andrew: Yes, before and during the show there’ll be hard partying. If it was really bad I’ll also party afterwards.

BRAVO: Was the sampler “Some Girls Wander By Mistake” a makeshift solution because you hadn’t managed in time to newly organize the Sisters? Andrew: No, it’s my personal way of coping with the past. All my earliest recordings are in there. Embarrassing stuff, so bad, that I have simply have to shame myself for it. These things were only available as tapes and old single records, for which the fans had to pay ridiculous prices for on the black market. I find, if they really want to listen to that crap, then they shouldn’t do it for overly expensive prices. Besides I have the feeling that by owning up to my past, it’ll defuse the bomb in my cellar.

BRAVO: Are you looking to hire a drummer? Andrew: No, why? There’s no reason to.

BRAVO: Do you have something against them? Andrew: Well, I’ll say it like this: In principle I really have nothing against drummers, it’s only that once you get to know them, they’re each and all jerks.

BRAVO: Musically speaking? Andrew: No, unfortunately they’re schmucks in every respect. They’re bitchy and a little off. They make noise, they must always beat around on their drum set, talk about stupid things and never shut up. They always need too much junk and always forget something and steal like ravens – just inhuman, not worth mentioning. And musically they really don’t bring anything. If you’ve never had a drummer, you’re not missing much.

BRAVO: And are you rather an easy partner in a band? Andrew: You mean musically? BRAVO: Yes, musically and personally… Andrew: I don’t see any reason why it should be difficult to work with me. I know precisely what I want, I’m totally clear. There’s no doubt about my ideas.

BRAVO: And will these ideas of yours make it through to the end? Andrew: Nah, maybe not. But I do my best. Musically I work on a very instinctive level. And I think my instincts have yet only rarely led me in the wrong direction.

BRAVO: How you do compose? Andrew: With a computer. I can’t play the piano. But I can quickly input anything I want In a sequencer program. I really don’t have to hear a piece in order to know how it sounds. It’s enough if I can see the arrangement on the screen. The ideas come to me mostly in the bar. Then I have to, though extreme concentration and timeliness, get home before the song in my head flies off again. How cool is it to work with a computer, I learned how in 1987 with the recordings on the Sisters album “Floodland.” The piece was actually the whole solo album. My partner at the time, Patricia Morrison, often had creative blocks. She didn’t provide song ideas, nor could I move her to take her bass in hand. On “Floodland” there’s a solo piano piece called “Neverland.” I programmed that from the first to last note on the computer, without even touching a piano key.

BRAVO: Can you play the guitar? Andrew: Only in the studio. Since in the first place I can only play while sitting, and second I can’t sing and play at the same time.

BRAVO: Why did you even add yourself to a band again? (Note: Warum hast du dir überhaupt wieder eine Band zugelegt?; I’m not sure if I’m missing something but I can’t get this to sound right) Andrew: The piece that I tinkered on with Andreas sounds simple afterwards. Moreover he said to me, if I had a band and could go on tours, I could budget better. That turned out to be absolute nonsense. With the world tour, which cost me a whole year, I’ve paid it out of pocket.

BRAVO: Are you in trouble? Andrew: Not really, but I’m also not far away from it. It’s annoying that I sold quite a few records, but don’t stand anywhere better financially than in the beginning. In the future I’ll pass out the records by myself and rid myself of the services of managers.

thinking about not only the specific people lucanis pulls in to represent the 'locks' in his psyche, but the storytelling that happens in the structure/order of them. the underlying ideas are presented something like:

the lucanis who went into the ossuary never came back out again; he died down there (the boy caterina raised is gone forever) -> you're putting yourself in danger doing this (by being close to me), you should leave because I can't bear it if you get hurt because of me -> it doesn't matter even if we do try this, it won't work anyway (again because of me) ('you know what he's like, you can open the door but he won't walk through it' :'( oofie doofie) -> what if the real secret is that there was never anything but the monster in here from the beginning. you should leave, there was never anything here worth saving in the first place. (implicitly: what if I deserved what happened, all along.)

it runs pretty cleanly from outward-oriented attachment anxiety ('caterina won't even want me back like this, she won't recognize me (the same way I no longer recognize myself)) and gradually deeper inwards until we reach self-image and self worth. or you know, the harrowing basic lack of it lol.

"careful -- they'll know we're not right," spite says in one of their first scenes... but clearly, some very deep part of lucanis has feared or suspected for much longer than that that there's something inherently not right at the core of him, way before any demon entered the picture. and the voice he gives those lines to is the person who should know him better than anyone in the world, who he has loved more than anyone in the world -- and who deliberately chose to hurt him so horrifically anyway. 'It's better if I'm just a monster and deserved what happened than it is to allow for the idea that the brother I love doesn't really exist and maybe never did'. it's better if he's fundamentally flawed in some way that needed fixing to help him survive, and that's why caterina chose to hurt him again and again -- out of love. (this one I think he might have a very sad wakeup call on one day if he ever ends up with the responsibility and care of a child of his own in some way and realizes just how alien the idea of ever intentionally hurting them for any reason is to him. oh buddy. also interesting that he keeps caterina as the outermost lock -- there IS a distance he keeps there that he hasn't with illario. he doesn't resent her 'anymore' he says, but he also keeps her carefully further away from his deepest self.)

as far as I could tell the only note in the mind prison that's fully hidden and needs to be uncovered is the sad painful helpless stupid little truth that even after all this, even knowing what happened... he still loves his brother. is there anything illario could ever do that would make lucanis completely stop loving him, do you think? sometimes the trouble with unconditional love is that it is, well. unconditional, even when some terms and conditions probably would have been in order haha.

that's the pattern you see there again and again; he would rather destroy and abandon and imprison himself at every turn than let go of love, even when it's just scraps, even when there's only ever enough of it to hurt him. it's only when rook shows up and as it were takes his hand and walks along with him that he can entertain the idea of changing the story of what walking out the door might mean in the end.

#tl;dr the demon is a metaphor about dissociation and trauma and it's doing its job thematically fucking pitch perfectly that way the end #dragon age #dragon age: the veilguard #dragon age: the veilguard spoilers #dragon age spoilers #lucanis dellamorte #dragon age meta #this mission is like ds9 the wire in terms of episodes you really can examine from a thousand different angles #and find something new and soulcrushingly sad every time. exactly my kind of episode in other words #whenever people say there's nothing to him but coffee and spite jokes some small part of me goes 'oh I'm so incredibly sorry!#it must be really hard and so impractical to go through life without being able to read :'( get better soon'#is that very nice of me. perhaps not. is the writing here *perfect*? of course not. but some people are also dedicated to being #wilfully blind (presumably b/c they would have preferred to see something else?? idk man)#lucanis' reaction to taash going 'I'm sorry I'm such a bad crow :'('... he could NEVER do what caterina did with him no matter what #you just can't use him like that. he needs the clean family/enemy/contract distinction or you just break him!!!#caterina literally what are you thinking. every day I ask myself this. (probably 'the only other option that keeps the seat in the family #is illario. so that's right out of course' lmao)#god forbid it happen anytime soon if it should happen b/c there's Stuff that needs working through first lol but he'd be such a soft dad

me personally. i wouldn't have gone after all the olympians at once. you're biting off more than you can chew here. all you would need to do is take each olympian out one by one. and then convince demigods that once enough people stop believing in a diety, that diety ceases to exist. which is not a lie. and you could use the death of pan to back yourself up. sure, you'd be in it for the long haul. but chess isn't meant to be a quick game.

#sometimes i identify the faults in kronos's plan and think of how i'd do a much better job #kronos did not need to summon an army in five years time #all he needed to do was allow luke monologue about how the gods will be their own undoing #and let luke pretend to almost kill percy in tlt #and then watch as the gods continue to prove luke right through using percy and his friends as pawns #and the gods would have been too caught up in their hubris to realize what was happening #let the gods destroy themselves #and the distrut will grown organically #had they been just a little more patient #this could have worked #albiet it is immoral so...there's that i guess😒😒#percy jackon and the olympians #pjo text post #pjo #pjo headcanon #revolt against the gods #the battle of manhattan #i'd call it “the downfall of olympus” lol #if i had a nickel for everytime i thought of a better plan than kronos #i'd have two nickels #gods what does that say about me?

☀️ IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! 🌙

This is my gift to myself :) I drew my favorite guys ever.

For a while I've been itching to draw the wedding outfits from this post again. I made them up on the fly as I was drawing, but I actually really like how they ended up turning out. They're super cute!! (though, yet again, you can't see almost any part of Dedede's outfit... 💔)

But then I couldn't get it out of my head to make a companion piece for it, with their mirror versions. And so. I did. What they have going on is a little bit messy, though...

Marriage or divorce!! Take your pick.

#kirby #kirby series #meta knight #king dedede #metadede #dark meta knight #shadow dedede #mirror metadede #i do like mirror mtdd. like a lot. but poor planning ahead with hcs and ocs caused them to end up. kind of doomed in my thing lol #maybe i'll go in depth about it one day. as much as i can anyway. i haven't fully figured it out myself #my art #couple details:#mk's tooth gaps are probably one of my favorite parts of his drawing. they're just so cute i'm so glad i knocked his teeth out #while mtdd is on Non Descript Happy Place mirror mtdd is specifically in the dimension mirror level from katam and ktd #just slightly. sparklier and shinier. because that's just how i do things. and without the buildings #i did try to add them but it made everything busier than it already was #mirror mtdd's faces are obscured on purpose but if you look closely you can catch a peek of dmk's expression through his veil #which! it's meant to be kind of like a widow's veil.. symbolism and what not #i couldn't think of what the opposite of a star was so i did hearts (for the plating. cheeks. and pauldrons)#i fucked up the rings.. because i got my lefts and rights confused..#but i kept it Anyway because it looked cool. i'm sorry though it's so annoying once you notice #i still have the flats and a better look at ddd's outfit (and a Little of sddd's face)#so maybe i'll post that later #i think that's about it #i'm 20 today :) sigh. the passage of time #god the way this has been crunched sickens me. don't look closer actually

But anyway! Yeah! Everybody drawing cool humanformers stuff on twitter cuz of the movie got me inspired to draw some of my human soundwave… looking extra sneaky and spy like…. Lurking in the shadows w his cat… wanted to practice big shapes and bold colors… and I like it! I think it turned out good!

#transformers #humanformers #soundwave #ravage #tf soundwave #tf ravage #doodles #I kinda feel like it might have been smarter / more striking to just block in the blacked out parts and the red. and leave #the rest uncolored.. but! that’s not what I did lol #and I think it still looks good #wanted him to have like… a big trench coat spy in an ally vibe… lurking in the shadows… hustling and bustling…#blending into the crowd. but secretly. listening in. sending all ur info and plans back to the decepticons…#I LOVE SOUNDWAVE THO.. and I love transformers..#and I love seeing all the humanformers art on my twitter nowadays it’s all so cool… I love seeing these robots as lil fleshy ppl #hopefully… I will draw some more humanformers later.. I want to… life is just #its hectic right now lol. it’s not bad. it’s just. I’ve gotta figure a lot of shit out. there’s not a lot of room for drawing #and w the power of adhd. and a lack of free time. it means it’s RLLY easy to lose interest in shit and never finish it!#and then subsequently never post it!#I should just. like. post stuff even if it’s not done tho lol. that’d be better than nothing #maccadam

Moulin Rouge AU

The story follows Moulin Rouge star performer, Daniel LaRusso, and an American writer, Johnny Lawrence, as they navigate through a tumultuous love affair. Little do they know about John Kreese's plan: set LaRusso up with a wealthy man, Terry Silver, to take revenge on Mr. Miyagi, Daniel's father.

#u guys i have had this since june in my drafts i think it's time to set it free HAHA #i don't even remember how i came up with this. i think i was screaming el tango de roxanne and then this happened lmao #okay i remembered actually. it always pissed me off how Christian was JEALOUS #like bro my dude your girl loves you. she didn't want to do this. and you're JEALOUS #(maybe i interpreted it wrong. i hope i did)#and the same goes for that au where johnny is in tkk3. like he could be jealous of silver at first when he also considered him a good guy #“no wonder daniel is looking at him with those puppy eyes. he's handsome tall and knows karate better than me:(”#but when he found out about silver's true face he would be just angry and try to open daniel's eyes until it's too late.#anyway-#the karate kid #daniel larusso #john kreese #who wasn't supposed to be here but i liked marty in Shootfighter too much not to include lol #terry silver #johnny lawrence #lawrusso #cobra husbands or/and silverusso if u squint

What my first (water-soluble) oil painting is teaching me:

Wooden palettes are great if you like splinters and not being able to clean all of the paint out.

It takes forever to dry and I'm going to turn it in for class while it's wet and that's just going to have to be okay.

You need way less black and blue than you think you do and a LOT MORE white than you think. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Really unclear. Maybe don't take advice from a post about how I've never done this before.

Don't sketch everything out in pencil unless you want it to mix into the paint when you go to paint over it. I haven't had time to figure out underpainting, but do that instead probably? idk.

Green is an incredibly annoying color to mix properly. There are too many shades of green.

Linseed oil has a really weird, specific smell? I'm getting used to it but everything in my life smells like linseed oil right now.

There is dog hair in my painting. Much like point 2, there is nothing that I can do about this, either. It's just part of the painting now.

Don't let your first painting be on an 18x24 canvas. Don't do that to yourself. Go get some of the cheap-ass tiny ones from Michael's. Oh my god. If this wasn't for a grade I wouldn't be putting myself through it.

If you DO end up having to use a large canvas, just splurge on larger paint tubes. Even if the tiny ones have enough paint, you're going to spend the entire process stressed out that you won't have enough paint and it's really just not worth it emotionally.

Art youtubers and how-to blogs talk too much and I personally feel better off just fucking around and finding out at this point.

All that being said, I painted this and I don't hate it! It's a tiny part of a larger painting that I'm much less happy with, but I like this little rectangle of it :) The last time I painted was probably in like ninth grade so this feels like a pretty okay first current-day attempt, all things considered.

#10.) also learning that I'm kind of bad at oil painting but it's my first one so I'm giving myself some grace here.#I think this has the largest learning curve of any medium I've tried other than maybe learning digital art programs.#it's so difficult but also rewarding in a different kind of way- even if mine kind of sucks right now lol.#I know I can do better but not on this assignment. I do not have time to do better when there's not even time for it to dry :/#I did get some small cheap canvases to practice on though- i'll mess with those later and report back in a few days if it goes well!#tay's tag

Watched the MLB movie and I just. I WANT to gush about it but the fact that Marinette’s regular voice actor and her singing voice actor sound SO different just took me out of it every time and left me feeling very disengaged;; At least Adrien’s singing voice kind of sounds like his speaking voice (and Gabriel’s is 👌 bc my king Keith Silverstein can actually sing and he can sing REALLY fucking well) but Marinette’s. The voices are COMPLETELY different and it threw me off every single time. Like obviously her singing voice is really good and I understand why they picked that person to do her songs but bro you could have at least TRIED to get someone that sounds similar to Cristina Vee. It drove me nuts every time she sang bc I was like “That is CLEARLY a different person entirely!!”

I’m realizing this might have been a dubbing issue but still 😭 I feel like I would have enjoyed the movie way more if it didn’t look like Marinette was lip syncing the entire time bc there was such a huge disconnect between her speaking and singing voice

#Also I can’t fucking believe they did that to my boy Plagg. They RUINED him #He did not deserve that #Miraculous Ladybug #MLB #MLB movie #ALSO. Also. Personally. I don’t think it needed to be a musical #Bc that was very jarring in itself I was not expecting it #Since Miraculous isn’t a musical normally anyway!!#They probably could have fit in a lot more plot and made the story flow better if they took out all the songs #And replaced them with actual character development and stuff.#Idk it just feels like they tried to make it like a Disney film. And it didn’t quite fit with the story #I WILL say tho the character models were top notch. Marinette with FRECKLES?? YES PLEASE #Anyway yeah lots of thoughts but I could not take it seriously bc of the awkward voice casting #It actually ruined a lot of the movie for me :’( Again it drove me nuts lmao #Shima speaks #Idk maybe I'll watch it in French next time. Maybe I'll like it better then lol

(Trying to make sense in the Simeon human >> demon pipeline. Very Headcsnnon heavy post so be warned)

Simeon steals the Ring of light and gets told off by Michael. Michael enters panic mode because that means Simeon messed up with a human life spawn and he would be punished/banished for this

(Reminder that in the conversation with Michael in S2OG, he mentions how If he would have been more like MC, things would have gone different and he wouldn't have lose Lucifer/his brothers. So in a way, trying to stop Simeon from falling/being punished Is his "second chance" on doing everything right)

The punishment for messing with a human life spawn Is basically being forced to wander through darkness for all eternity (both NB & OG mention different punishments for Lilith, my rule Is that the newer version it's whats considered canon unless stated otherwise), and going against the CR in general Is losing your angel status and become a fallen angel. So Simeon punishment was odd since the start

To stop the whole process of Simeon becoming a fallen angel, Michael turns Simeon into a human. In that way, Simeon doesn't have enough magic to go throught the whole metamorphosis. Also explains why he was defenseless for the whole S4OG

S3 happens and Simeon Is "human" the whole time. Probably in the same way that MC Is human (that they can see that he's not a regular human and has a supernatural origin, but still pretty weak by himself)

Raphael regularly checks on him for the whole S3, he was probably keep in the dark about how bad the situation situation Is, judging by his actitude in L48NB

S4 Happens and Raphael gets into the exchange program, to keep Simeon safe and to inform Michael about whatever changes he may be going through. Luke also says that Michael asks him more about Simeon so it's probably that Simeon being human just was a way to gain more time to fix the whole issue

** The whole Nightbringer/Time traveling arc happens (S1 & S2 of NB), not a lot happened here since the time barely moved in the present

They return to the present, Solomon cast a protective spell on Simeon and that's where everyone starts to see that something Is going on with Simeon. My theory Is that now Simeon has enough magic in himself to "transform"

(Also: Simeon apparently still has hidden power within himself, even after becoming "human" but tbh that's makes everything more confusing. Sry Solomon)

** Something that I found interesing Is that 7 Lessons after L41, this lesson was the one they choose to make reference to the past. Solomon references his time with MC in Cocytus hall. Does this mean something? Probably not. But I'm still on the cracktheory that Simeon & Nightbringer are in this together.

#obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me raphael #obey me simeon #obey me michael #post0400 #hasta aquí mi reporte joaquin #probably is the devs retconning shit but I want to have faith. can you blame a man for still believing things can be good??#cringe post. sry #idk if I forgot something. it has been a long time since I played S3 & S4 #this is me trying to connect the dots pf the whole thing lol #because obviously they are going to retconn stuff to make it work #but tbh Simeon being a demon >>>> Simeon being a human idc idc #I can excuse plotholes if at least it's better than the alternative. and they barely did anything with human!Simeon #so nothing of value was lost I think
