can I fuck you up more about Paul and John?
Paul lost a LOT of people. He made the choice and did the work to get over them. As far as I can tell, he made the choice to never get over John. I'm 55. The only example I can think of is my uncle Peter, who was killed in Vietnam in December 1967 at age 25. It completely destroyed the family. It killed my grandmother. To this DAY, my 91 year old aunt and my 84 year old father cannot talk about him without crying.
Paul REFUSES to get over John. He RELENTLESSLY talks about him at every opportunity. He has spent 40 years singing Here Today which makes him cry (I've personally seen it twice) and has spent two years singing a duet with John in concert. He has spent 30 years waiting to release Now and Then. There is NO SUCH THING as a celebrity at his level who NEVER SHUTS UP about someone who died 43 years ago. and he does not give a flying fuck. He is going to make SURE we are all missing John like he was killed yesterday.
Thank you for this. And god, I’m so jealous rn. Never got to see him live, hope I’ll get to and I’m really starting to be very afraid I’ll never have a chance bc like. Guy is old (and I’d like to see Ringo as well, ideally on stage with Paul and maybe Dhani too and Sean or Julian or… who can say? both is good) 😭😭 and yeah, I’ve seen a bunch of live performances of Here Today that Paul did and it seriously does seem like he can’t get used to performing it without at least having his voice crackle or vanish completely. And I wonder what he was thinking while working on Now and Then.
It’s like when Mark killed John, a huge part of Paul was blown up too and like he’s constantly trying to get it back. But I also really am impressed in some way from how much time he spends bringing John up, and I find it sad too because it does seem like he constantly has unfinished business with him, like there’s some closure he’s looking for that he can’t find and the one thing I keep thinking back on is when at a gig he sang Here Today and then told the audience “if there’s someone you love, tell them” because I think THAT’S the thing he keeps regretting and trying to fix and never really getting to (although I do also think John KNEW how much Paul loved him, if not as a “husband” as a best friend let’s say). Aside from the issues I have with John (mostly his behavior towards Julian, because I really think he was a massive dickhead for it, and Jules did nothing wrong to be treated like that), I really don’t think he was very hard to love. Paul is my girlie, but I very much do understand why he loves John so much. And I like thinking that they still talk to each other, through music, in some way. That like, a huge reason Paul still makes music is that that’s how he gets to connect with whatever John left inside of him, if that’s not too corny to say. And I absolutely admit this is my McLennon further brain talking, here. I also DO believe he just loves music and loves making music, of course. But with how much he mentions and talks about John and writes songs for him… like we get it Paul. Keep going, but like, we get it.

OPEN1 - LOCATION : three lives bookstore
deidre gets lost sometimes in making sure the store is tidy enough for everyone that would wish to grab a book, but man does she sometimes swear to herself that these damn people could at least have the decency to put the books back in place. an audible sigh from her as she goes back to her task, not noticing eyes looking at her.. or the fact that she was perhaps a little too loud in her annoyance.
OPEN2 - LOCATION : the nightfall club
if overstimulatted had a name, it's name would be deidre. did she have any idea why she decided to go to the club tonight? no, but she finds herself there, cocktail in hand and looking.. let's just say quite annoyed, but she could do with some company

"Whatcha got there?" For Max or Nikki 👉👈?
FIRST MEETINGS
"A knife, duh."
A far more blunt response than most probably expect from a ten year old. Did he care? Absolutely not. Was he going to elaborate? Also, no. "Now who the fuck are you?"

400 RANDOM DIALOGUE PROMPTS.
PROMPT, accepting.
arms are crossed over her chest as she stands avoiding eye contact at all costs. looking at him will just make it worse, right? that’s what peyton’s convinced herself of, anyway, and moving past the staunch believe that’s rooted itself so deeply isn’t all that easy. it seems like eternities pass before @bentrule speaks, and it sounds almost like a plea — one that’s, at the same time, laced with defeat, “i know i lied to you. you can hate me and it's all right.”
that’s all it takes for the roots to retreat enough to leave her heart open as gaze lifts to meet his, though her protective posture remains steady. peyton pulls in a deep breath, allowing herself to feel her lungs expand and make some attempt at grounding herself — it’s not going well, but at least she’s trying. finally she finds herself able to offer a response, a hand running through her hair as she shakes her head, “i don’t wanna hate you, luke, i — i’m disappointed, sure... a-and hurt, but i don’t think i could ever really hate you.”
