A few days prior, in Ireland:

“Another relative promised a fan that she would ask George for his autograph at the get-together [between George, his mother Louise, and her Irish relatives] in Drumcondra. She was as good as her word. [The fan, Sandra Grant - then 16 - recalled] ‘[A woman] happened to say that her nephew was on the show. I said, 'Who would that be?’ She said, 'George Harrison.’ I said, 'George Harrison! He’s my favourite.’ He always seemed to me to be the underdog of the group. He was the quiet, gentle one. I always had a sneaking sympathy for him. He was overwhelmed by the notoriety of John and Paul for their songwriting ability and Ringo for his personality and looks. She actually took out of her bag a Polaroid photograph of George doing the washing-up in the council house in Liverpool. She took out another photograph of him in the back garden with his parents. They were little, coloured Polaroid photos, like you got in those days. I begged her if possible would she get an autograph for me. She couldn’t understand how anybody could be looking for an autograph of somebody. But she said the family were meeting up later and that if she got an opportunity she would. 'She told me she worked at the hat counter in a shop on George’s Street. The next morning, instead of going to work I went straight to the ship to see if she had the autograph. I whizzed off on the bus into town and ran all the way from Eden Quay up to George’s Street. I was there at nine o'clock on the dot. I went in and recognised her immediately. I asked her if she had got the autograph. She said she had. There were counters there with very deep drawers where the hats would have been stored. She opened the drawer and took out the autograph. She gave it to me. I practically kissed her with gratitude and thanked her so very much for remembering me. That’s how I got George Harrison’s autograph.’” - The Beatles Irish Concerts (x)

In photo 1... “He’d remember better, but I think he was just fooling around with a prop that day. This was shot just outside the soundstage on the Screen Gems lot. [Someone in the comments section asked if that was his girlfriend…] And I only wish I’d been his girlfriend, but that’s me with him.” - Carol V., Facebook, 2013

#Comic aurora #Falst #Dainix #Fainix #ferinheit #I still think that ship name is very cute #So I guess Falst has no recollection at all of using the White Dragon’s power… #You know what. I would have disliked any other romantic venture with any other character. I’m really not a fan of shipping #But Falst deserves it I think. He’s been through more than enough.

i can't believe it's been 3 weeks and only now did i find out that one of my first favorite DS games (and its sequel) got a remake for Switch after CiNG got bankrupt nearly 14 years ago

i've replayed this game several times back then to the point that i still remember the scenes and puzzles so i wonder how much they changed

time to take a trip down memory lane~

#guys this is a really good game pls go check it out #the original DS version has a more unique charm with its art and ost though #i see some fans are also hoping for a hotel dusk and last window remakes too #another code recollection #another code two memories #another code r #another code #trace memory #cing #mo rambles into the void #does anyone here still remember this game

Let's talk about Kodama Atwood

A little gremlin- *AHEM* A loyal reaper knight.

Our surely unbiased narrator and lead of the new cast of Tales of the Rays brand new story arc: Recollection. In our current small chunk of 3 chapters, allow me to introduce him!

On the surface:

Though he is genuinely kind and will help those in trouble at the drop of a hat, this trait is buried under a sly wit and an easygoing personality. He will not let slights towards him or his beloved ruler go unpunished. Crossing him is less likely to incur immediate backlash, and more likely to come back on the offender when they least expect it in the form of a quiet scheme. Though he isn't against getting into a scrap or resorting to more petty get-backs.

He has an almost childlike curiosity about the people and world around him. He has been noted to taste random things, including memories, and carefully observe his fellow knight's hobbies. His personality is very adaptable, giving snark remarks or honey-tongued bribery one moment, and pure hearted, genuine praise the next. He lives at his own pace. Yet he will do anything - from getting his own hands dirty to degrading himself - in order to follow his morals or help those he cares about with no hesitation.

Shall we get into more detail and how he got to this point? Follow me below the cut:

As a child, Kodama was almost killed by the enemies that have driven mankind to the brink of destruction, wraiths. Severely wounded, young Kodama was rescued by the ruler of humanity's final kingdom, Haze.

That day, having lost all of his memories as a side effect of the attack, Kodama idolized Haze and swore to become a reaper knight, and eventually her right hand man to protect her and repay his debt.

He grew up as a wastelander, a person living in colonies outside of the capital city and its luxury of a protective barrier. His life was one of bitter survival, and he learned to taste various plants to determine if they were safe to eat or sell. Though this life didn't get him down because he lived to one day meet Haze again, and this filled all of his days with hope.

As he no longer remembers his name, the villagers named him "Kodama" (A name roughly meaning "echo" that is also associated with tree spirits) because of his strange, yet to be elaborated on ability to "hear" wraiths.

Clawing his way up from the wastelands, Kodama became a rookie reaper knight, a person who can fight the normally untouchable wraiths, and finally arrived at the capital city. His weapon imitates the hands of a clock and his abilities lightly manipulate time, freezing his enemies or speeding up his attacks.

However, being a wastelander originally, he is looked down upon by most reaper knights. He is the first to come to the defense of his fellow wastelanders and of course the friends he's made in the capital. His curiosity stems from having no childhood memories of his own, and he loves to listen to the tales of other's memories - be they bitter or sweet.

And thus our newbie knight aspires for the day he can climb the ranks and finally meet his beloved ruler and thank her for saving him.

Little does he know that day is close at hand...

What's hiding in those memories and that ability to hear wraiths huh... #If you bring up his CG or the associated garbage shallow joke title for him I will bite you unless you actually have tact. I'm fed up #Usual shill that I fan translate this story very thoroughly so feel free to reach out if you're curious about it!

I adore when fic authors just give deciple Shen Yuan a bunch of super powerful artifacts and weapons. To me it feels like when the sponsors in the hunger games would be like "Oho! You're my favorite so youuuu get a healing balm!" Like, I'm cheering you on!!! Yes!!!! Give that child a legendary weapon! Give him that crazy cultivation booster!!!!

One of my favorite things about being in bandom groups on FB (specifically for bands of all women - you'd be surprised to learn how many open-minded people you can find there, actually) is getting to discover information about them that you can't find via the otherwise obvious sources, like Youtube or formal music publications and what have you.

Like, I am STILL thinking about the fact that I got to see Liver Favela of Birtha play one of her all-out drum solos because a fan recorded and shared this particular live performance by Birtha off their TV. (And these performances are NOT on Youtube! Or at least, not publicly.) Like...just...THE GRATITUDE I HAVE to be able to see that, in retrospect! :') Y'all cannot fathom it. So, may I not regret this another time, with another bandom group, here's to fucking Facebook groups, I guess. 👍

#crystal visions of lilies in the valley #shoutout also to fan groups for specific musicians. the Stan Lynch and Howie Epstein fan groups have rarely let me down either. #but particular shoutouts to the Birtha and Fanny fan groups: full of thoughtful fans who love the music and are happy to share #rarely seen photos and concert recollections and videos and articles and stuff :') #not to mention members of Fanny (June Millington and Alice de Buhr) who actually engage with the fans in that group 😭💗💗💗💓

“The one time I ever met George, weirdly enough, was at Tom [Petty]’s house for Christmas. I knew what a big fan he was of the Beatles, so I found an old Life magazine with them on the cover and wrapped it up. When we sat down for the gift giving, George, who I worshipped — like everyone else — sat down next to me. Tom opened the gift, and there’s the Beatles. George turns to me and goes, ‘Oh, yeah, the Fabs, I remember them.’” - David Wild, Rolling Stone, January 17, 2002

“Peter is one of the most wonderful people in the world. He’s so dedicated to his work, and I admire his quick wit and his gentleness. He deserves all that the world can give him in prosperity, luck and a future of happiness. Peter is a special gift to humanity and I’m proud to be in his generation of love! Dyan H. Portland, Me.” - Monkee Spectacular, December 1967

I hate randomly blocking people that follow me for no reason other than “what they draw makes me uncomfortable” because it illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding of MY SCRIMBLO (/lh). I understand it’s simply conjecture, but people who highlight that part of his light novel (a part that was revealed to be a dream and not close to canonicity) bother me a lot.

#in short… I hate the Pol//aris P Po//lanski shit #14 year old D//GR fans will be like ‘I know so much about Byakuya 🥺🥺 I read a brief synopsis of his light novel and completely - #misinterpretated this whole plot point and the majority of his quotes!!’ #if you didn’t know: in the light novel he has to cross dress to get into the Legacy Crown Championship #(which decides who is head male - and who gets exhiled) #but if you BOTHERED to read the ending of the dubiously canon novel and his CANON LINES you would know that the plot is actually all in - #-Bl//ue Ink’s head (his step sister who ‘documents’ his legacy as he thinks he is destined to win) #- false memories. I can’t EXACTLY remember why but it was only a dubious recollection of actual events — and in-game and in the novel - #-Byakuya is recognised as #- one of the 15 ‘gold rank’ Tog//ami siblings and therefore never needed to cross-dress to get into the race in the first place #also the book is just hella confusing and awfully gruesome LMAO #but the drawing had his disguise in glasses when Pol//aris wore contacts!! because in the novel Byakuya states he finds glasses unappealing- #-on a woman. though fashionable for himself as a man (thanks ‘Kuya… I have 20/20 vision and I still hate that). #so yeah I was mega uncomfortable for no reason I’m just pedantic and I hate the fandom (for the most part) #I love you guys though LMAO #sorry I sounded like a gatekeeper LOL #I’ve ran into like… 3 more wives of Byakuya and I do actually really like their content and was okay with them but I didn’t interact beyond- #- a cursory glance because I don’t want to risk myself being uncomfortable or anyone else. I only have a lot of warnings because there are - #-fringe cases I really hate. so I have to use umbrella terms. #(so I am not THAT BAD. but I can be especially with the non-canon Pola//ris stuff and blatant misinterpretation #I FEEL SO MEAN. #not good for business.

marc spector and jake lockley can't do more than average level math/occupational math, not because they arent capable of it, but because steven is such a big math nerd that he carried the whole system through every math class they ever had to take through any of their schooling

#there are college level algebra and calculus credits that marc has no recollection of receiving or even attending #look me dead in the eyes and tell me steven isnt a big math fan #moon knight #steven grant #mxthrambles
