I told him: “You know you love your own company. Even Cyn says you go days without speaking to her. She feels a million miles away from you.”
John replied: “Ah, but she’s not, is she. She’s in the kitchen putting the kettle on.”
There’s one line in the lyric I don’t really mean: “Well knowing you / You’d probably laugh and say / That we were worlds apart”. I’m playing to the more cynical side of John, but I don’t think it’s true that we were so distant.

“I’m kind of expected to say, ‘[John] was a saint, he was always a saint, I remember him as a saint’, but it would be a lie. He was one great guy and part of his greatness was that he wasn’t a saint. He was a great guy but he was pretty sacrilegious. He was pretty up front about it. But it was half the fun.”

“John is neither a saint, nor is he a sinner. He was just human, like the rest of us.”
—Cynthia Lennon, answering the question “John Lennon: saint or sinner?” The Independent, July 1999 [×]

“Seeing Lennon focus on Ono rather than him[Paul] was as devastating as it would have been for Cynthia Lennon to witness the couple making love.”
—Peter Dogget, You Never Give Me Your Money. [×]

“Then also we were like married, so you got the bitterness. It’s not a woman scorned this time, it’s two men scorned — probably even worse. And I had to make way for Yoko. My relationship with John could not have remained as it was and Yoko feel secure.”
— Paul McCartney, Interview by Duncan Fallowell in the Chicago Tribune, October 14th, 1984 [×]
¶
“Apart from giving me the courage to break out of my stockbroker belt... Yoko also gave me the inner strength to look more closely at my other marriage. My real marriage. To The Beatles, which was more stifling than my domestic life. Although I had thought of it often enough, I lacked the guts to make the break earlier.”
—Skywriting By Word Of Mouth by John Lennon (pg. 17) [x]
¶
“I still think at the back of John’s mind was this fascination of wanting to get back with the first girlfriend, if you like, and that was to get back with Paul, who he had so much history with.”
—Tony Barrow, The Beatles’ press officer, on the Lennon/McCartney reunion that was never to be [×]
¶
“I mean, I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that, it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship was a strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship, he had to put this other one away. And I understood that. I mean, I couldn’t stand in the way of someone who’d fallen in love. You can’t say, “Who’s this?” You can’t really do that. If I was a girl, maybe I could go out and…”
—April 3rd?, 1985 (Soho Square, London): Paul talks on German television show exclusive about the breakup of the Beatles and his personal breakup with John. [x]
¶
“But Paul was his own man and not afraid of John. In fact, musically and personally, the two were beginning to go in separate directions so perhaps Paul’s visit to me was also a statement to John.”
—Cynthia Lennon, John [×]
¶
“Paul, who believed strongly in the family and in family values, told me that he felt as if it was the Beatles themselves who were heading for divorce, not just John and Cynthia.”
—Tony Bramwell, Magical Mystery Tours [×]
I wanted to end this post with a quote from Cynthia, whether it was from a book or was an answer to a question, about how she simply misses lying in bed with John, and just the two of them talking. This quote from her book John [x] is relevant, but unfortunately I couldn't find the exact quote I wanted.
To accompany the sentiment from John's first wife though, is this quote:
“If John Lennon could come back for a day, how would you spend it with him?”
“In bed.”

announcement -> it was a lowkey soft-launch 😭!! taylor swift songs were used to show their dates. saesangs + carats saw them on dates but shrugged it off as friend dates. they both announced their relationship once they felt it was time for everyone to know. january 6th, 2021 was the month they announced it. they later announced their engagement on february 14th, 2023 with minji’s insta post “we did it joe!” & minji’s insta story post “my favorite person in the _wrld.. i’m glad that i got to meet you <3”
how the public responded -> many netizens supported it as they were both getting into the age of settling down and placing roots. though, a few people slut-shamed minji for dating a fellow member but was later thrown off due to the massive support.

reason they broke up -> the tough schedule between idols dating was easy enough for them to manage. though both nct & svt were getting popular during this time and it lead to them seeing less and less of each other. they both made the conscious decision to break up for the sake of their careers because minji was receiving much stress from the tour. the pair ended in good terms and still see each other as something that was long ago.

Edmonton Journal - Progress Alberta director to face 2024 jury trial on statue vandalism charges
Trial dates have been set for the editor of a progressive news website accused of vandalizing two Ukrainian monuments in 2021.
Duncan Kinney was charged with mischief last year for allegedly spray painting the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex’s bust of Roman Shukhevych, a Ukrainian nationalist figure linked to massacres of Jews and Poles during the Second World War.
The statue was sprayed with the words “Actual Nazi” in August 2021, a likely reference to Shukhevych’s collaboration with Nazi Germany. Some Ukrainian groups continue to embrace Shukhevych for his role in the country’s fight for independence and dismiss efforts to discredit him as Russian propaganda.
Kinney is also accused of defacing a monument to Ukrainian Second World War dead at St. Michael’s Cemetery, which was painted with the words “Nazi monument” and “14th Waffen SS” around the time of the Shukhevych statue vandalism. The 14th Waffen SS was a volunteer formation of the Nazi paramilitary organization recruited from what is now southeastern Poland and western Ukraine.
Kinney, the executive director of the left-wing non-profit Progress Alberta, wrote about the vandalism on the Progress Report news site, reporting that it was the work of “an unknown person or persons.” He has pleaded not guilty and claims the charges stem from his critical reporting on the Edmonton Police Service.
Court records show Kinney will have a pre-trial conference on the charges in October, followed by a Court of King’s Bench jury trial starting Sept. 5, 2024.
2 Jul 23
According to court records, Kinney is now facing an additional count of mischief to religious property
can give you an idea of their meetups these are the ones we know about plus one controversial one that I believe is worth mentioning to either prove or disprove definitively. please feel free to add any ones missing or correct any mistakes as I'm doing this from memory
2022
Feb: Valentine's day week
March: England, on separate streams they both said they decided to go at the last minute, they were spotted alone together in a video with a fan
April: LA
May: LA again with foolish after his nc/florida roadtrip
June: New York where they were spotted by a fan alone shopping (there's a clip of it somewhere on twitter), Tinacon, karl was also in LA prior to Tinacon but no idea how many times they met up during that time
July: Tinacon continued, LoL tournament in Las Vegas, on a foolish fall guys stream tina talked about going to nc for karl's bday but for some reason this didn't happen
August: Tina went to NC
Sept: Tina went to New York followed by Karl a few days later, people say he was busy working but one of the otv vlogs showed he was with their group, LA again for Name Your Price, Karl was in LA a while before leaving to England
Oct: after getting back from England late sept karl went straight back to LA and didn't leave until mid Oct, early oct he announced getting a place in la within days of tina announcing moving there at the end of sept.
Dec: the controversial one that is NOT PROVEN, but it is believed by some that she flew to portland to spend time with karl and his family between dec 14-17th (that's the week they celebrated christmas), those who believe this theory point to several things such as tina saying she was going to be unavailable, then several hours later someone on twitter saying they spotted her at lax on the 14th, her being absent from all social media and even discord during that time, as well as karl streaming from her room on the 17th saying he just got off a plane an hour ago suggesting they flew back together and then went straight to her place. also they spent the 17-23/24th together. again the portland meetup is a theory, nobody actually knows where she was during that time.
2023
Feb: Valentines week NC, tina stayed at karls house
March: around 9/10 karl went to la and didn't leave for 2 weeks
April: early april karl went to la again stayed a few days, then flew back with tina to nc she again stayed at his house, then in late april tina flew to japan to see him
May: karl and tina stay almost the entire first week of may in japan
June: 6/7 karl flies to la to watch spiderman with her and leaves after only being there two days, we know this because they told the same story about the movie experience they had watching it, neither knew the other told the story and neither mentioned the other was there. then they met up sometime around the 18th of june again and hung out til the end of vidcon where he briefly left to go with mr beast before coming back on the 28th and staying through july 6/7
July: stayed until the last possible moment before leaving to pack for paris, tina then flies on the 18th to nc to spend time with him on his bday, again staying at his house
August: 7-12th from what I've seen others mention
those are the ones I'm aware of between 2022 and now... with maybe one or two missing in september of 2022 and possibly others missing as well. I'm sure someone else with more knowledge can fill you on on 2021
wow anon this is so good. they really do meet at least once a month but usually twice a month. that's quite telling cause karl is always travelling but he makes time for her.
would love to know more about 2021 if anyone knows the lore

Quiet but happy might be the best way to describe Rinus Veekay. He usually has a grin for the camera or a goofy but endearing move to show off. He shows flashes of brilliance on track, highlighted by his annual performance in the Indy 500, qualifying on the front row in two of his three attempts at the race (and 4th in the other). His team, ECR, is traditionally very good there. An avid cyclist, he suffered a broken left clavicle, requiring surgery, while on a ride from Detroit to Chicago with his trainer in 2021. His catchword is “Yeet.”
but if you don’t know I currently work at library as a page (the people responsible for shelving the books you return) and is currently trying to get my bachelors so I can get get a job in circulation (the people who check your books out and keep up with inventory) and also getting my masters in Libarary science so I can maybe the head of department such as children's, adult, circulation, or young adult.
tldr: this is my fancy way of saying please listen to me I am passionate about this and literally making my whole career about this.
anyway I am currently reading this
Yume by Sifton Tracey Anipare which came out a year ago in Sept 14th 2021. This is a contemporary/fantasy novel about an African Canadian women living in Japan (by an African Canadian woman author). While I have not finished the book I am like 70% done with it and so far. Not only is this a great book for people who are into anime or love Japanese folklore but it also addresses the kind of racism the foreigners or half Japanese people face while living in Japan.
******personal opinion and rant right now don’t let this diswayed you from reading this great book
Which is extremely important to me because as someone who is so invested in anime/manga which incorporates Japanese culture into their narratives because its Japanese and as someone who is glad to see this resurgence of anime/manga people need to be made aware that Japan isn’t this perfect paradise (so we don’t have a repeat of the early 20′s no matter how much I love that aesthetic and how childish it was) that in fact Japan has a history of colonialism (as in colonizing other countries) and has a history( still is sorta) of being xenophobic.
*** okay personal rant over****
This book is perfect example of representing the problems Japan has as a cultural society while still being respectful to its culture.
Anyway this is the first novel by Sifton Tracey Anipare and I honestly can not wait to see what other books she writes next and I am differently going to be buying me a copy of this book to put on my bookshelf because I love it so much

You know what, I actually want to know how many times TLT has been in my dreams. I keep being Amused by how frequently it appears. And every single time I think about it, I Wonder how many I’ve had.
Well, now I’m OFFICIALLY KEEPING TRACK!
As of TODAY, I am able to find NINETEEN LOCKED TOMB DREAMS! (Between this blog and the Much More Private One.) And that’s just the ones I saw fit to record!
~ May 8th, 2021: The first dream I considered to be TLT related because it involved osseomancy.
~ Around May 26th 2021: Isaac and Jeannemary cameo’d.
~ Also posted on May 26th, but never recorded in its own post: Watching a stop-motion thing on TV about necromancy, and critiquing everything they got wrong.
~ June 7th, 2021: I was reading a TLT book that felt unfamiliar and turned out to be Alecto the Ninth.
~ June 10th 2021: I found a book that was a Locked Tomb parody containing the phrase “she meditated, meditatively”.
~ June 14th 2021: As Harrowhark. Golden eyes of uncertain origin and being pulled out of The River.
~ Aug 10th 2021: As Harrowhark. The very disturbing one about the children under my watch being sick/hurt/dying and I tried desperately to save them, but was utterly helpless. (The post calls this TLT Dream #4, but I can’t find the other one that factors into this.)
~ Aug 13th 2021: Getting too close to a graveyard, Something Following Me, and to self-soothe, I started praying, of all things: “I pray the tomb stays shut forever. I pray the rock is never rolled away...”

~ Sept 13th 2021: As Harrowhark. Action/Adventure Genre dream about being pursued around a building and having a split/”jockeying” consciousness with Gideon.

~ Feb 25th 2022: The LARP that turned into Me As ACTUALLY Harrowhark about the undead attacking.
~ April 1 2022: The one about a fuzzy white dog nuzzling into my hand while I had long black hair, a suspected Nona Brain Reference.
~ April 13th 2022: The Nexus one about the Disney Channel necromancer parody.
~ April 25th, 2022: I dreamed a Locked Tomb comic book came out!
~ June 16th 2022: Crossover dream about Karou (from Daughter of Smoke and Bones) being a Ninth House necromancer.
My Keweisi USB Multifunctional Tester review (w/ my paper dolls) - Part 3 (Final Plus) [Sept 18th, 2022]
(1st & 2nd Images) Well, it appears that I have one more finale before I end it, once and for all. So, here's my finale plus of my Keweisi (or Kowsi) USB Mutlifunctional Tester review (w/ my paper dolls)! 🙂⚡🔋⏱️
And the reason for that is because I want to charge my honor 8C using my usual USB type C brand (Essager) this time w/ a micro USB converter, and connected to my USB tester & 20000mAh Romoss power bank. Just want to see how long will it be until 100% charged. Again, I've been manually from the past, but, with this USB tester I won't missed out.😃
If you haven’t seen my 2nd part, then please click → [CLICK ME!].
So, without further ado, let’s get started!
Record video 🎦📲 [Pls watch it!]:
• Okay, here you could see I'm setting up my charging process by starting up my Essager cable w/ Accezz's USB converter connecting to my honor phone, and then my USB tester connecting my cable through my Romoss power bank's "Fit+" USB port (which is their quick charge). I did tested my USB tester from the power bank before, and it starts counting. So, I had to restart the counting by pressing & hold the button for 3 seconds, and the charge time begin. (Please see 3rd & 4th Images ↓)
BTW: [from 0:54 to 0:55] You could see the logo of "KOWSI" when I plugged in instead of the actual "Keweisi" logo.
5th & 6th Image(s): ↑
• Hours later, my phone was fully charged; estimating time of 2 hours & 34 minutes (41 seconds).
Here are some comparisons from my past tests: ↓
○ April 17, 2021 [CLICK ME!] - 2 Hours & 42 Minutes (Manual, USB Fit+, Essager USB Type C Cable w/ Accezz converter)
○ April 20, 2021 [CLICK ME!] - 3 Hours & 13 Minutes (Manual, USB 2.0, Essager USB Type C Cable w/ Accezz converter)
○ June 17, 2020 [CLICK ME!] - 2 Hours & 29 Minutes (Manual, USB Fit+, Huawei Micro USB Cable)
7th Image: ↑
• Only three lights left indicates indicates that I had plenty of juice from my power bank.⚡🔋😊
Final Overall:
• Again, very helpful device with USB Multifunctional tester. And I'll probably continue my testing process, as well as some missing ones before I'll make my final results, soon.😊🔋⚡📲
Well, that’s "literally" the end of my topic!
If you haven’t seen my previous topic, as well as my opening parcel (for my recent topic), then I’ll provide some links down below.↓😉
