So glad I’m not the only one thinking this. Let’s show equal respect to John and Paul for a change. It’s what they both deserve.

@bitchybillionaire yes that’s the one. I’ve had the same trajectory, honestly. I’m interested in some of what they’re saying, because some of it is also what I’ve been thinking for years. And I get the need to give Paul the credit and attention he is due, after so many books and articles overlook him or malign him. But a lot of this podcast does feel like okay, John was elevated beyond belief before, so we have to do the same for Paul now to balance it. And like, what if we just met in the middle with a true balance of the scales instead of it being like a seesaw where Paul is elevated now?

Also they really need to cite more sources. It bothers me when they say “NOBODY has ever talked about xyz” but like, you got that info from somewhere. Someone had to have talked about it! Or else you wouldn’t know about it!

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
