#avon: my man here--#stringer: *looks down and fidgets with hands in bashful and shy husband who hates confrontation*#avon took one glance at string and said ok ure my nerd husband now i guess#i love them theyre such a problematic power couple#it takes a problematic power couple to fight a problematic power couple (avon and string vs marlo and chris)#avon being a leo and string being a virgo is so extremely important to me#a leo taking charge can either be an extremely good or extremely bad thing#THINKING they know something vs ACTUALLY knowing something makes a BIG difference here#STRING BEING SO EMBARRASSED OVER AVON IS SO FUNNY 😭😭#the construction workers glancing over at string for help like he can reign in his upset husband or smthin#how is this clip not on utube like it's so funny#legit a little treat for me holding out thru the civilian part of season 2#avon and his pretty pink shirt being the girlboss king defending his malewife queen adamantly and loyally#string awkwardly staring at the ground thinking 'ok babygirl.. dont embarrass daddy at work now' or smthing LMFAO im ruining this show#but my friends are forced to watch it with me bcs i cant stop noticing things#when a leo and a virgo are on the same page against the same enemy.. they are a force to be reckoned with#leos have the creative analysis of insult and virgos have the methodical movement to approach#but when theyre warring against each other on opposite pages ... their opposition rlly tears them in two#when a virgo starts seeing a leo as lesser.. and the leo can start sensing it.. steer clear of their argument bcs 😭 uh uh#that shit gets heated mad fast#'he has to wear a hat on this site. code. u know-'#string shuffles past silently. as if he had a major say in whatever avons set his mind on#he can adjust the approach or ground it but whatevers gonna takeoff is gonna takeoff unfortunately#sometimes string is tired of playing stabilizer#avon not being a fan of cramped places.. always on the move and always looking around#he doesnt know where hes going or why but he does know that him and his husband need to be treated right dammit !!#hes ambitious but hes aware of lanes. he does what hes good at string does what string is good at. strengths and weaknesses is a big thing#...when he can see them properly. sometimes his stare can be a little skewed. a little tilted#stunted by himself without realizing it at times. a second pair of eyes help steady his aim#they were such a perfect couple and thats why they had to be the ones to essentially destroy the other UGH i hate poetry I HATE POETRY

Hi, if Simon Jones is bad at his job, then why did Louis keep working with him after leaving Sony? The only reason I can think of is BBG.
And speaking of Sony, I used to think they retained Louis because it was a way to control Harry, but now that he's no longer with them, do you think that was the reason he was sabotaged? He is even banned from radio stations by Sony CEO's brother. Don't you think Harry could do something to prevent it if he's their golden goose?
i have... theories. but let me try to stick to the facts first.
we don’t know exactly what L signed when he re-signed with syco/sony after the band’s hiatus. but it’s very possible that while he was eventually released from that label in 2020, he signed a separate PR deal with simon jones around that time. simon’s company isn’t sony—he’s PR. and that kind of deal can exist independently of whatever label he’s signed to.
also: it makes a twisted kind of sense that the man who helped build the closet would be the one “trusted” to navigate it now. simon jones invented the het-louis narrative. he knows exactly how to play that role in public because he wrote the script. and while i loathe that, i also think it’s why he’s still around—because he’s familiar, and because he keeps L’s public image contained.
as for actual music PR? that does not appear to be simon. matt and chris seem to be the ones handling L’s music rollouts and strategy. simon’s job is broader image management.
now onto sony: most major labels have “right of first refusal” clauses—meaning that when the band went on hiatus, sony had first dibs on any solo contracts the boys might sign. unless another label came in with a significantly better offer, they basically had to say yes to sony. so it’s not just about choice—it’s about leverage.
this is where i veer a bit into speculation:
i do think rob stringer (sony’s global CEO) wanted both H and L—H as the frontman, L behind the scenes writing songs for other people. and i think L might’ve been okay with that because he loved writing in 1D... at first. but in AOTV he talks about how conversations with his mom helped shift his focus. he decided he wanted to make his music.
so instead of sticking to rob’s plan, he went back to simon cowell and started crafting his solo career. and i think that pissed rob off.
(reminder: simon cowell’s syco was a branch under sony. rob stringer is sony’s top exec. there’s some weird power dynamics here that aren’t easy to unravel, but they absolutely impact what happens to artists under their umbrella.)
as for the idea that H could’ve stopped the sabotage? honestly, no. in 2016–2017, H wasn’t the global powerhouse he is now. he was just a boyband member trying to go solo—a gamble, not a guarantee. labels drop solo acts all the time. the idea that he could’ve waltzed into sony’s top floor and made demands about how L was treated? that’s not how this works. that’s not how any of this works.
and even now, i doubt he’d have that kind of pull. sony’s top brass doesn’t answer to their artists. they answer to shareholders.
plus... we don’t know what H said or did behind the scenes. maybe he tried. maybe he couldn’t. maybe he wasn’t allowed to speak on it. we simply don’t know.
but suggesting that he should’ve stepped in assumes that L would’ve wanted him to. and that’s where i personally draw the line. L has fought tooth and nail to stand on his own as an artist. the idea that H should’ve swooped in to save him reduces him to “harry styles’ partner” rather than a full artist in his own right.

There’s something cruel about the placement of this story. “Tails is dead! Anyway, here’s his backstory!” But yeah, we got a look into Amy’s past last time and now we’re getting the same for Tails. This is also the first mention of the Nameless Zone for quite some time. The Nameless Zone is actually a Kitching concept, but since it is where Tails was born in StC, we’re seeing it used in a Stringer story today
Years before those two random bullies in the cutscene from Sonic Origins, there were these two bullies picking on Tails for the same reason. Witless Chris is quite a name! Guess he decided to live up to it
The other guy’s called Scratchy, but he’s just a yes man anyway
Remember kids, if you lie then the bats will come take you away to fight in their arena of doom

The bats know he’s lying, they just think it’d be funny. It also doesn’t take much for Witless to outright admit he was lying
Scratchy’s just brutal! “This guy is falling to his death, better make him feel worse about himself on the way down!”
Ah, but you know how this goes. He can fly! Look, Tails learned he can fly! Yay!
We’ll allow Tails to be petty to his bullies. He’s still a better person than I would be to my bullies, if I’m honest
All’s well that ends well! You all know I like the Nameless Zone anyway, so I’m glad to see more of it in this Tails backstory. Though perhaps the funniest part is that because the scans for this issue are so badly cropped, we don’t know who our “favourite” that's mentioned in the preview text is …Of course I could dig out my copy of this issue and check. But eh, too lazy

1958 Gibson Flying V. NOT A REISSUE 😳
With Union Sound '24 (the guitar event of the summer season!) just around the corner, I thought I would look back at a pretty mind boggling guitar that showed up at the 2022 event. A real, no fooling, original, vintage Korina Flying V! This is by far the most valuable and rare guitar I have ever had the good fortune to be in the same room with!
I don't think this guitar will show up again at the 2024 event (attendees usually bring different instruments from their collections every year), but rumor has it that a certain well-known local luthier, who shall remain nameless (but you all know him), got to measure and scan this one after the 2022 event, and has produced an exact and impeccable replica of this very guitar. It would be so cool to see the replica at this year's event, Mr. certain well-known local luthier, nudge-nudge hint-hint say more! 😉

Pro Wrestling Illustrated: June 1994
HOGAN VS. STING YES! (Well, sort of)
Last May they had a “Superstar Summit’ in Japan. Now Sting is guest-starring on Hogan’s new TV series, Thunder In Paradise, and the action on the set has been stirring. Who knows–their next meeting could be in the ring…
By Dave Lenker
Photos by Neal Nachman
[Jimmy Hart is ready for action on Hulk Hogan’s new syndicated series Thunder In Paradise (left). WCW star Sting has a recurring role as Hogan’s antagonist (Above).
The wait had been such a long one. For years, wrestling fans have been anticipating the ultimate clash of their superheroes. In one corner, three-time WCW World champion Sting. In the other, five-time WWF World titleholder and the most popular wrestler of all-time, Hulk Hogan.
If they ever did come to blows, where would it happen? New York’s Madison Square Garden? Atlanta’s Omni? Toronto’s SkyDome? Japan’s Tokyo Dome?... A swamp in Orlando, Florida? That’s right–a swamp in Orlando.
There they were, the “Hulkster” and the “Stinger,” violently struggling on a boat, fierce determination showing on the faces of both men. A few minutes later, they’re standing waist-deep in the chilly water. Sting charges at Hogan, large tree branch in hand. Hulk anticipates the move and sends him crashing into the water with a well-timed back-bodydrop.
That doesn’t stop Sting. More ferocious than ever, he scoops up his foreign object, scrambles out of the water, and continues swinging the branch. Soon he’s got the “Hulkster” pinned against a tree. Sting attempts to choke Hogan, but is thwarted. Hogan seizes his chances and wears down Sting with a sleeperhold.
The action continues unhindered for a few more minutes, then comes to an abrupt halt when the director yells, “Cut!”
[Perhaps someday the “Hulkster” and the “Stringer” will exchange moves like these in the wrestling ring. It’s been a while since Sting used a foreign object … or was without face paint, for that matter!
Sting and Hogan go at it during fight scenes. Thunder In Paradise will air in most U.S. television markets this spring and was created by the people behind the phenomenally successful Baywatch.]
After that it’s all smiles. Sting and Hogan towel off, wrap themselves in jackets, and discuss how they might make the scene even better in the next take.
No, this was no bizarre specialty match created by an overzealous wrestling promoter. All the movies were choreographed by the director of Thunder In Paradise. There are still no definite plans for Sting and Hogan to go toe-to-toe in the ring. For now, we’ll have to settle for this, the next best thing.
Thunder In Paradise is Hogan’s new syndicated action-adventure TV series. The two-hour pilot was scheduled to air in most markets on March 21, with weekly one-hour episodes starting the following week. Hogan plays ex-Navy SEAL Hurricane Spencer, while Sting has a recurring role as Hammerhead, an ex-SEAL gone bad. (He hadn’t been a rulebreaker since his UWF days.)
Chris Lemmon and Carol Alt are Hogan’s main co-stars. Also appearing regularly are wrestlers Brutus Beefcake and Jim Neidhart, as well as Hulk’s manager, Jimmy, the leader of a reggae band. Added to the mix of course, are several dozen buxom, bikini-clad beauties. What else would you expect from the people who created Baywatch, the world’s most watched syndicated series?
[Hogan and Sting practice a stunt they will shoot shortly (left). Sting relies on the “Hulkster’s” acting experience for guidance. They keep warm after a fight in the water (below); might they be pondering a bout on canvas?]
“We have a great cast and crew here,” said Hogan, who is also one of the show’s executive producers. “Sting is a natural in front of the camera. Even though we were just acting, he showed me just how tough he is. I’m glad I’m not caught in a feud with him.”
“Acting is a lot of fun,” said Sting. “Hulk is a pro. He helped me out a lot out there. I guess you could say it was like a swamp death match that we had.”
“I’d be lying to you if I told you I didn’t think a little bit about what it would be like to wrestle Hulk for real, in a wrestling ring somewhere, with about 50,000 fans screaming their lungs out for us. Maybe someday.”
[Bottom: From left, Brutus Beefcake, Hogan, Hart, Him Neidhart, and Chris Lemmon, as well as the reasons Thunder In Paradise is expected to be a smash hit.]
