An idea to consider: 1980 John Lennon. That is all ❤️👀

user horseluvr draws the most awkward John ever, asked to leave the Beatles community.

Which Beatle would make the best fruit salad? 👀

Surely the fruitiest Beatle of them all, George “was camp and had many homosexual friends” Harrison!

Which two letters of the alphabet do you think would be best friends? 👀

Omg thank you Eppy!!! >:)

I think N and G because they often appear together but complement each other aesthetically, corners and round. They're also formed in different regions of the mouth, the N by your teeth and the G by your palate.

Still, they're both voiced consonants and they can meld into one sound, /ŋ/ (<- this is the IPA symbol for the sound you make when pronouncing the ng in singing [unless you're a Beatle and pronounce it sing-gin heheh {the /ŋ/ is still in there, but it's followed immediately by a pure g sound}]), seamlessly.

When they're capitalized they follow each other N G, but when they're small they turn towards each other and look more similar n g. Perfect.

30 + 34 😊

name an album you really love that you haven’t listened to in awhile

Flaming Pie by Paul McCartney. it’s my fav paul album but i kinda forgot it existed for some reason. i just found one of the songs the other day skimming my liked songs and i really need to re-listen to the whole thing again.

pick one of your favorite bands/artists and choose a song by them that you associate with each season

The Beatles:

Flying- summer

And I Love Her- winter

Michelle- autumn

Here Comes The Sun- spring

4 + 6 + 9 😊

4. what sections of a bookstore do you browse?

Pretty much any of the non-fiction sections! History, politics, religion, memoirs, travel books, etc

6. what books have you read in the last month?

In May I read The Seagull by Chekhov, People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn, Laura McKowen's sobriety memoir, Making Movies by Sidney Lumet, Long Day's Journey Into Night and A Moon for the Misbegotten by O'Neill, G-d Save the USSR by Jeff Eden, Shopping and Fucking by Mark Ravenhill, and I'm currently reading Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann!

9. when do you tend to read most?

Weekends, because I'm usually too busy or don't have the energy to read after work during the week. Sometimes weeknights before bed though. I wish I could be the kind of person who wakes up and reads first thing in the morning but I'm definitely not 😪

#thank you!!! #eppysboys #ask

night owl + peony + foxglove + anemone 😊

Hello bud 💛

I’m doing this on mobile so I’m hoping the formatting is okay

night owl; how many countries have you visited? - Just 2 I think? Costa Rica when I was maybe 8 or 9 and then Australia this last March :P

peony; share a small random book passage that means something to you. - “You can build a whole world around the tiniest of touches” from one of my favorite books of all time, “Tell The Wolves I’m Home”. I think it’s true and I really think the relationships you build with people are so wildly important. It’s such a gorgeous little book.

foxglove; who is your favorite cartoon character? - Currently it’s Gene Belcher from Bob’s Burgers because I just love that little music nerd. Very good and very funny. Of all time though it might be Squidward because he’s a very relatable character and I appreciate how much SpongeBob as a show shaped a lot of people and our humor.

anemone; describe yourself in 3 words. - anxious, (aggressively) passionate, lovely

#silly words to describe myself #thank you bud love you #about me #eppysboys #ask

my year in review:

I posted 228 times - which is basically like I didn't post at all, I might as well have not been here. I created roughly half of those posts, and reblogged the other half. I tagged almost all of them because I rarely reblog something if I don't want to put words on it, even if those words are just 'HIS FACE'.

blogs I most reblogged:

@jeremy-hillary-boob

@thecoleopterawithana

@drivenalphabitchpaulmccartney

Nothing to hide here, 100% yes, will definitely reblog again.

longest tag was about Yoko being true to her deceased husband's memory:

#but admitting g&r are important emotionally while simultaneously sidelining them from any important emotions is the most j&p emotion going

top posts were mostly Paul's birthday celebrations:

top 80 best things about Paul McCartney collage of 80 Pauls - each one a dream have you ever met Paul, are you in love with him, I’m not

[midchelle]

do you have Beatles blogs you’d recommend following?

Briefly consider:

@eppysboys (Brian, Stu, and Magic Alex enjoyer)

@sword-swallower-pin (maker of cursed Jane Asher Sgt Pepper cake)

@dovetailjoints (mind behind the Paul x Bagism comp)

@idontwanttospoiltheparty (most likely to know what an aeolian cadence is)

@blondecasino (HBIC of Lennison)

@muzaktomyears (read the Mimi book so you don’t have to)

@pauls1967moustache (mind behind baby it’s all relative)

@nikidontsurf (gifs!)

@aquarianshift (mind behind bound and determined)

@elvispresley (more gifs!)

@heybulldogs (half of the team behind beatles secret Santa)

@boshemians (New York understander)

@scurator (beatle gender relations)

@frodolives (this happened to my buddy Paul McCartney)

Number 9. And 34 + 40!

9. If you were able to go see any band perform live for free, what performance would you go to?

The Quarrymen specifically so I could see the troika at their worst 😂

39. What is you favorite song that you’ve ever performed?

Because I’m a nerd, my answer is two different concert band songs I played in district honors band in high school. The Ancient Forest (the audio sample file on this page is the whole song, go listen it slaps) is the first one, because at around two minutes it GOES OFF into this wild section where it’s changing time signatures every measure and I still remember the feeling of getting that bit right for the first time. Tintagel Suite fourth movement is the second, I love the whole song but the fourth movement (starts around 5 minutes 15 seconds in the video) is just. It’s so good, so fast, so fucking fun to play.

40. What was your favorite performance experience?

The performance where we played the above two songs for sure, but it seems like a redundant answer, so I’ll say I really loved being in The Pirates Of Penzance at university. Those songs were so fun to sing.

accidentally stumbled upon this gem gifset again tumblr(.)com/eppysboys/618315721986932736/the-making-of-sgt-pepper-1992

and I love the way Paul says "but John was always bossier", "so I gave in" - he looks and sounds like such a slut please

link to post

oh he’s SO down bad it’s a bit embarrassing honestly. and like, we all know that isn’t even true 🙃 i agree with @eppysboys tags in that lennon-mccartney definitely sounds better, along with it making more sense alphabetically.

I sort of think Paul only ‘fought’ for it to be the other way so he’d be put in his place lol.

#paul haven’t you gotten the memo yet that john=assertive leader and paul=bossy bitch #this is scientifically determined by geometry of eyebrows and waist to hip proportions #ask

[get-back-homeward]

Heads up, bug tumblr. I made the mistake of reblogging a stolen gifset here. The original gifset is by @eppysboys and linked in the notes.

A quick scroll of the account with the stolen gifset shows other Beatles gifsets that look reposted. The latest one posted today is a repost of a gifset I’ve seen on my dash a few times this week. (If you recognize who’s gifset it is, please let me know.) This one has gifs from @mccartneyiii, as shown by the lower righthand watermarks.

This is super shitty. Giffing is a skill, and creating gifsets is a lot of work. Gifmakers deserve the same respect as any artists in fandom. You don’t repost someone else’s fanfic, drawing, or fanvid as if it’s your own. If you try, you get called out as a thief. Same here.

Basic fandom etiquette.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe the person is new and doesn’t know how tumblr or fandom works. Well, then they need to show they understand their mistake and intend to make amends: stop reposting, apologize, delete all stolen content, and learn how to reblog.

When confronted in the notes, the user replied “no copyright public domain.”

This is foolish. Fandoms don’t live and die by copyright, that’s the world of commerce and money. Fandoms live and die by people’s willingness to devote their time and energy to create things and share them in fannish spaces. To steal another person’s work and claim it as your own is a slap in the face to all fan creators. The only thing worse is showing no remorse. Tumblr recognizes this, which is why they have a system for reporting reposts. More than 3 reported reposts can get an account deleted.

If you’re a gifmaker, I suggest looking through the blog’s archive to see if your gifset has been stolen and report anything you find. If you notice someone else’s gifset, please let them know.

If you’re like me and accidentally reblogged a stolen gifset, delete your reblog or add text to identify the post as stolen art such as “This is a stolen gifset” and add a link to the original if you know it such as “Please reblog the original” to discourage similar accidents.

Blanket PSA to newbies out there: Learn how to reblog. You like a post of George? Great! Reblog it to tell the poster thanks for making this and to share it with others. Add a tag to react or say why you like it or what you think about it or to simply free write. Have fun, the space is yours. Chatter around created things is a big part of what makes fandom thrive. Each post is like a campfire, grab your favorite snack and a chair and join us.
