nothing but respect for our troops (smut writers) but listen. i dont want to be the person to tell you this, but not every character is going to be a dom or a sub. some people. and i know this is hard to hear. but some people do have vanilla sex. and some of those people might even be The Character.
#strong agree#also it throws me when people write teen characters in the 50s or 70s who talk like they've come straight from pornhub/tumblr/ao3#they would not automatically have that language or framework#even if they ARE kinky they're probably stumbling through figuring that out on their own#which can be an interesting thing to explore in its own right

Actually obsessed with this scene. The genuinely well-written dialogue. The stunning set. The card-playing metaphor. John and Paul serving actual Leopold and Loeb. Ringo slowly realizing their plan. George winning the IDGAF war.
#george is actually so good in the movies#and paul is very... himbo#but good point about the leopold & leob quality of j&p plotting to maim ringo to save themselves

"I didn't mention this in my book, but from time to time, John would say to me, "What do you think Paul is thinking right now?" I said to John, 'I've only met him a couple times in my life, you know. I have never had any in depth conversations with him. I have no idea.' And John would say, "Do you think he thinks about me at all?" The question made me sad. I just gave him meager responses, like, "I'm sure he does", and then he would move on. And I think his...I'm not gonna call it an obsession, but his curiosity about Paul McCartney was always prevalent."
-Elliot Mintz (Beatles podcast, 2024) (X)

If you’re having a bad day just remember that Paul is in Ringo’s phone as “Mac Macca” 📱❤️

"I like it not only because it was a big success but because it was one of the most instinctive songs I've ever written. I jut rolled out of my bed one morning and there was a piano next to the bed in the place where I was living at the time, and I rolled out of bed and just got the tune. I was so proud of it. I felt it was an original tune, it didn't copy off anything, and it was a big tune, it was all there and nothing repeated. I get made fun of because of it a bit. I remember George saying "Blimey, he's always talking about 'Yesterday', you'd think he was Beethoven or somebody." But it is the one, I reckon, that is the most complete thing I've ever written.
It's very catchy without ever being sickly, too. When you're trying to write a song, there are certain times when you get the essence, it's all there. It's like an egg being laid, it's just so there, not a crack nor a flaw in it."
Paul, talking about Yesterday, in 1973

(...) Not all of Paul's cards to me were friendly but no matter. That was all a long time ago. One of the messages, 'Up Yer' - a fairly brutal term of youthful abuse in Liverpool - was the 'working-title' of As Time Goes By. That was certainly what I felt at Apple's lowest points. 'Up the lorruvya!'
(k) From the depths of Let It Be in Twickenham. From Paul. Not a happy time... but it's all over now, baby blue.
Fifty Years Adrift, Derek Taylor (1984)
#this would be the monday after george quit#when john didn't show up#and paul was singing build me up buttercup to himself#not the happiest time indeed

Paul McCartney interviewed in Melbourne, Australia, 14th June 1964 - part 3 (part 1, part 2)
Me every Saturday night
#the audible screaming definitely adds another layer#I often think of jimmie nicol saying that paul was more annoyed by the fan insanity than he let on#at a certain point it would be impossible not to be

If you do not know, with second person perspective, the viewpoint character is “you.”
#it works really well for a very specific kind of story#where you want a POV that's very tight but also slightly dissociated#but it should be used sparingly
