#John just looking at Paul

[franklyimissparis]

they better not cast four very conventionally attractive actors in the beatles biopics… i want john and ringo to have proper noses! i want george to have vampire teeth and a unibrow! i want paul to be beautiful but in his own twinky asymmetrically doe-eyed way!

#once again begging sam mendes to cast randos i do NOT want to see buff symmetrical beatles in 2027 #idk the thing that attracts me to the beatles is that they just look like four blokes #(except for paul) (but paul has feminine features which isn’t super conventional but is widely enjoyed lmao) #the beatles #paul mccartney #john lennon #george harrison #ringo starr #beatles biopics

The Beatles - New York press conference (1965)

#they were so done with the press at that point #it stills amazes me how he would say jokes like this so publicly #it’s the kind of joke that i would think in my head but i wouldn’t say it out loud so easily #and he just did it. he really insisted that it was a joke so i assume that he felt a bit bad to have said that #but i admire him for saying this during a PRESS CONFERENCE !! couldn’t be me! #he definitely had guts. and of course back then he was considered the rude beatle but the press was still so fascinated by him #he was really special #also he looked so good that day. they all did. 1965 is a powerful year #john lennon #the beatles #george harrison #paul mccartney #ringo starr #1960s #1965 #press conference #classic rock #beatlesedit #edit

Paul had this picture projected during his show in Australia. Someone posted this on the AKOM fb page and I had never seen it before!

#I guess if you squint he looks like Elvis… #it’s really just the hair though. Lol John. #paul mccartney #the beatles

#the beatles #my art #THATS IT I WONT TAG THESE MEN #genuinely came from a convo with a friend we couldnt stop laughing at the idea of ringo being billie #and george just fucking laying down in the center of the room the entire time while paul and john panic #also lost my shit looking at the real billie doll because i didnt realize he just wears little sparkly red shoes

[myplasticadversary]

Of course I don't have factual basis for this but I would be really surprised if there weren't ever instances of John spotting some guy flirting with Paul and then flipping out and scaring him off

#in my mind it's like a combination of his fixation on paul's soft pretty sexy face and a chauvinistic protective instinct #plus probably a bit externalizing his shame for his own feelings #and paul would get defensive like 'piss off! we were just talking 😠' and john would rag on him for basking in the attention #but then later admit he was just disturbed by the thought of a fella putting his hands on paul and wants to look out for him #mclennon #john lennon #paul mccartney #the beatles

It is truly fascinating how the common tumblr narrative around John and Paul somehow makes the guy who literally got violent multiple times over people insinuating he was queer appear more "on board with the whole gay thing" than the guy who said some awkward/dated stuff in interviews a couple of times.

#im not trying to defend paul here btw. or tear down john #i just find the reading of john as like the Self-Accepting King between them.... myopic #i mean. it touches on the whole Was It Reciprocated Thing really #the idea being: If We Assume Paul Reciprocated He Is MORE Repressed Than John Because John Hinted More Heavily That He Wasn't Straight #but like.. #that's Exactly why some of us think.... maybe Paul IS straight 😭😭 or at least it's not nearly as big of a deal to him than it was to John #(perhaps because he's bi but treats it more casually than John ever felt capable of) #any reading of John and sexuality that concludes something LESS fraught than Paul's mostly benign slight weirdness/curiosity #seems to me.... like McLennon tunnel vision #like because John never gay panic attacked PAUL all that ugly stuff he did can be set aside. #also. look at the way people think about India #and the Get Back convo about it. it's all like JOHN'S NOT IN DENIAL. HE WAS CLEAR. HE WANTED IT. HE WAS ALL IN. #Was He? #anyways. i am becoming chatty these days. #as always people are welcome to discuss this with me even if we disagree #fiona.docx #jp speculation #discourse

#well doesn’t this look like the happiest holiday ever #although it’s worth it just to see paul in his snuggly breakfast jumper #glad to see cyn not cropped out of that last photo for once #it’s the contrast of her smile and looking off to the side vs john’s later focus on paul that makes it for me #john lennon #paul mccartney #george harrison #ringo starr #pattie boyd #cynthia lennon #jane asher #maureen cox #mal evans #the beatles #india 1968

Shout!: The True Story of the Beatles (Philip Norman)

15-year-old Paul McCartney joining the Quarrymen and immediately bossing them all around will never not be my fave thing <3

#philip norman: look at this bossy conniving two-faced child! BAD! EVIL! #me: your honour i love him #also: #wtf did they do to pete that john felt he had to apologise???? srsly #john is totally aware of all this lmfao #and that just makes it even better :) #paul mccartney #the quarrymen
