Random reason to love Steam Powered Giraffe #5

Yeah, I'm being erratic with this. My life kind of imploded. Things get interrupted when my life implodes a bit.

Anyway. Today's reason to love Steam Powered Giraffe: Holy shit, they're sexy.

Yes, I know. They're so very much younger than I am. I'm plausibly old enough to parent them. But... consider exhibit A.

Pictured here is David "The Spine" Bennett nomming on a granola bar. Just... standing there and staring at not very much whilst masticating calmly for all to see.

The fandom had a collective orgasm over this footage. I was there.

Much has been written about the power of Isabella "Rabbit" Bennett's hips. I'd put a gif up, but (a) the only ones I can find are really old and misgendering, and (b) I might make someone explode.

But I can show her smoky smoulder:

no larger pics, alas. Too much Isabella can cause overheating

And then there's Sam "Hatchworth" Luke. Sure, his makeup is sort of bronze-kabuki scary, but... He's so cute... Hatchworth is my adorable woobie child, at least in spirit. And why not? Just look at him.

Sigh. I just want to hug him.

Who am I kidding, I want to hug all of them.

Random reason to love Steam Powered Giraffe #4

I could go on forever. I know. There's so much that I love about this band that I can barely keep it in...

But today? Let's go with: They are incredibly creative.

It's not just the songs and the makeup. Or the mechanical-imitation miming.

If you check out their site you'll notice that it's not just the music.

The art, the lore, the comic... heck, even the website itself - it's all a product of one or more members of the band.

Oops (very late random reason to love Steam Powered Giraffe #3)

Lazy Sunday-itis got to me and I plumb fell asleep before I could think of a Reasons to love Steam Powered Giraffe article...

So check out: The dedication to their art...

You get a free listen to some SPG tunes as well, so enjoy these :3

Sam Luke transforms into the lovable bronze stove woobie Hatchworth [give him a bit of leeway, Hatchy's been shut in a vault for 80+ years. He has no idea he's weird].

Random reason to love Steam Powered Giraffe #2

Continuing on from yesterday's attempt to pull you unawares into the fanmily [that's the collective name for the SPG fandom] I bring you yet another reason to love this band.

Today's reason? Their comedic brilliance

They can, have, and will carry a joke around for years [See: The Spine's 'back story' ] including a few from their busking days.

Most of the stage comedy is banter-related. The Spine usually plays the straight man in these episodes, but he has his nerdy moments.

Random Reasons to love Steam Powered Giraffe

Anyone who knows me also knows that I love all colours of anything out of this band. They're weird. They're quirky. They have a story and a lore and an entire universe growing organically from something that started as four college kids busking in the street.

But today's reason to love them is this: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Check out the way Rabbit moves in both of these music clips. One from once upon a time

Challenge #00963-B232: Love and Hate and Love Again...

Dunno what this is from originally, but I saw it on Tumblr in a few places, and figured you’d make something awesome from it…

—-

“They say ‘You can’t love someone unless you love yourself first.' Bullshit. I have never loved myself. But you - oh god, I loved you so much… that I somehow forgot what hating myself felt like.”

(Prompt from ChaosWolf1982 on Tumblr)

There were days, aching days when the rain made his entire, misshapen body

Fanficcery!

Ever since the second time I listened through Vice Quadrant, I have had rampant plotbunnies for an epic fanfic.

Fret not! I concentrate on my Instants, my novel, and some other upcoming features first. But in my spare moments, I've been working on this fic until my wrists start to ache.

I expect to be away most of the day, so please enjoy the start of something good.

Addendum: Crossed lines again. I'm actually running around tomorrow. I get to write more

Things I do...

Whenever I have to wait for Their Friendly Staff at a tech store, I feel it is my duty to get SPG music videos on as many monitors as I can manage.

Apple Store staff are amazingly quick at putting the kibosh on that.

JB’s HiFi doesn’t give two shits.

Dick Smith’s staff are usually REAL quick to notice me messing around and ask if I need help.

What stores have you steam-bombed and how successful were you?

Hm... new way to invade the interwebs

If you know about instant messaging software, there’s this chat app called Telegram that’s pretty much available for all systems and phones.

Beloved and I use it to chat regularly.

Anyway the nice people at Telegram have up and decided to let us, the plebes, customize their own emotes with “stickers”. https://telegram.org/blog/stickers-revolution

We all know that I have the artistic skill and integrity of a concussed whelk, so… I’m begging and pleading for way
