100 Percent Agree. People Aren’t Even Allowed To Change. That’s The Sad Part

"I mean that is so special for me. I know it's virtual, but there I am. There I am singing with John again. We're back together."

Behold my purchases from the Eyes of the Storm exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery on Saturday. I had a discussion with the women on the till in the gift shop about how hot John looked in his sunglasses 😎

Why was it John’s fault? He paid her the equivalent of a million dollars in the divorce and gave her half the proceeds from the house at Weybridge and of course child support for Julian. Was he supposed to pay fof her and her various husbands throughout the rest of her life? Cyn struggled with cash because of poor business decisions throughout her life including numerous failed restaurants and other ventures. That isn’t John’s fault. It also isn’t John’s fault he married the daughter of a banker who made solid business decisions that greatly increased his fortunes in the 1970s. At the point he divorced Cyn he actually didn’t have as much money as you would think due to contracts Brian Epstein signed that gave most of the money away for merchandising, etc. Cyn got 50 percent of his fortune at the time as she was entitled to. She was not a victim

I just realized something.

Yoko never wrote an expose about John. Cyn, May Pang and Pete Shotton did, but Yoko didn't.

exposes kind of rub me the wrong way. This is someone who trusted you with everything, and then you turn around and write a tell-all about them. As a fan I love them, but I'd feel so betrayed if a friend wrote one about me.

Pattie Boyd, George Martin and Pete Best wrote books, but they were more about themselves and their connection to the boys than a fictionalized version of the past.

Ivan Vaughn, Jimmie Nicol, Jane Asher, Peter Asher and Maureen Starkey never did. They didn't even write autobiographies from what I can find.

I think that all speaks volumes.

Especially Yoko. No matter what you think of her, that shows a strong sense of character and respect that we just don't talk about enough when it comes to her.

I can’t believe the nerve of some people. Littlelambdrgnfly’s writing is fire.

That other anon can piss off. The beatles shagged their way through Hamburg, its not like they were sexually immature in anyway?? plus the issue with age gaps is power imbalance which absolutely does not exist in a fanfic about men who are 50 years older than you irl. Please don't get disheartened to write the sequel just because one stupid anon wanted to make you feel bad over nothing (also cause, while I'm really looking forward to the sequel to the sum of them and any other fics you may write, the rise and fall of john lennon is my favourite and the things you've planned for the sequel are so hot!!)

Thank you, that’s pretty much how I felt about writing them at those ages! I mean, I feel like it’d be one thing if I was writing about, say, the kids from Stranger Things, but it’s different when it’s the Beatles because they weren’t inexperienced or sexually immature (except for George lol), they were fully grown men by that point. And it’s not like there are actual young people getting exploited... And also, yeah, I’ve seen way too many friends and even my younger sister get involved with people way older than them to know how weird it is when someone in their late teens or early 20s gets involved with someone in their late 30s or 40s.

I’d be less disheartened if this was the only message I got like this. I know I’m older than a lot of people on this website, but damn, it’s a 60 year old fandom and it’s not like you automatically stop liking what you like once you hit a certain age. I don’t like being thought of as a creep, but tbh, I thought if I was going to get hate, it’d be for the fetish and not my age. If I do a sequel, I may just post it here or maybe make a Patreon, I’m not sure but that’s a long ways off if it happens. Thank you for your nice words though <3

Look at these children.

The most shocking one for Paul would be Here Today. Imagine the pain of 1964 Paul finding out his creative partner was going to die

Beatle (Paul) Hypotheticals #16

If you could show Paul four of his solo songs in 1964, which one of the following songs do you think would most surprise him and why?

Kreen Akore

Monkberry Moon Delight

Dear Friend

Temporary Secretary

Are there any songs not listed above that you think would be more shocking to Paul? If so, which ones?

It’s nice to see something about John on here. John and Sean had a beautiful relationship and I do think he and Julian would have gotten there. I’m sorry both of them were robbed of their father because of a madman.

Yes thank you!! The man is treated like a God. I especially like how everyone else’s actions are appalling but if Paul acts in a similar way there is always an excuse. The Beatles were all amazing and all bastards in equal measure. They all had flaws and sometimes were just plain wrong regardless if circumstance

The endless circle jerk of Paul discussion going on around here has made me roll my eyes to the point of a nauseated headache.

Going to dip out for a while
