Peter Brown & Tommy Nutter

Peter Brown first spied Tommy Nutter in 1967, at a dinner party thrown by Brian Epstein in his Georgian town house on Chapel Street... It was a warm evening, summer, June or July. An intimate sit-down for a handful of people. Peter thought Tommy was remarkably cute, though Tommy, perhaps dazed by his surroundings and the famous host, gave no indication of even noticing Peter.

Afterwards, Brian had a conversaion with Peter in which he made some 'approving comments' about their young guest. It was not that Brian Epstein had any interest in Tommy for himself; despite his stiff-collar demeanour, he preferred rough trade to 'gay boys'. But he knew what Peter liked, and was, in that regard, always encouraging.

-

(The day after Brian Epstein's death)

The next day, [Peter] was standing in Brian's drawing room, looking through a window onto a street that had just been swept through by paparazzi, like a flash flood. He had already shared the news with the Beatles, who were still on their retreat in Wales with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Peter was numb, but starting to realise that he would be primary witness at the inevitable inquest. And that the enormous responsibility of running the Beatles' office would now fall squarely on his shoulders.

At that moment, the telephone rang. Peter walked across and picked it up.

'How are you?' asked Tommy Nutter, who had somehow acquired Brian's private number.

'Awful,' Peter said, 'Really awful.'

So the young man from the summer dinner party invited himself over for company and comfort.

-

On a Friday in August, Peter was sitting at his desk wrapping up some work when Paul McCartney called him on the telephone. For the previous few days, the Beatles had been working on a new single, an experimental track that had caused tension in the group - McCartney versus Harrison over guitar riffs - and raised the concern of their record producer, George Martin, who'd suggested it might be too long for radio play. Now it was nearly completed, and Paul asked Peter to come round for a first listen.

(Paul and John have Peter listen to 'Hey Jude', which he is impressed by and loves.)

Paul and John told Peter they wanted to go out and celebrate. But Peter demurred; he was to drive out to the country with Tommy for the weekend. Paul told him to call Tommy and bring him along; they had all met him by now, and there was no problem with Peter having a boyfriend.

When Peter called him using the studio payphone, Tommy refused, wilfully non-compliant. He didn't want to go out and celebrate in Soho. It took Paul to snatch the reciever out of Peter's hand and beg him to 'come hear this' before he finally surrended.

Tommy arrived at Trident and was installed in the armchair, told to prepare himself. The song was cued for a second play. As he then listened for the full seven minutes and eleven seconds, Paul and John watched him closely, trying to gauge his reaction.

After it was finished, Tommy remained impassive, unreadable. There was a long pause.

He told them he didn't like it.

The Beatles were 'crestfallen', Peter recalls, until they were informed this was Tommy's idea of a droll joke. Indeed, Tommy would eventually admit that 'Hey Jude' was 'the most incredible song... because we'd never heard anything like that before'. What impressed him was not so much its groundbreaking form, though, as how uncalculated it seemed. In Tommy's view, the Beatles hadn't set out to break the mould; they'd just wanted to express themselves. And expressing themselves - honestly expressing themselves - meant making the song in a way that happened, by the by, to be groundbreaking. 'It just came from within them,' he later said admiringly. 'That's what they wanted to do and they did it properly.'

THE GREAT CRYING LORE OF 2018 AND WHY IT CONNECTS TO "THE EX-MORNING"

There's a bit of lore underlying a scene in KristSingto's 2018 "Our Skyy" episode that we fans have been using to torture each other for years while we waited for a new series to be announced. I bring it back today in the hopes that I can torture indoctrinate share with unsuspecting new people. \:D/

It's about this scene:

If you haven't seen everything preceding it, I'll do a quick recap for you:

"SOTUS" is the story of first-year Kongphob who makes it his purpose in life to be the persistent thorn in third-year head hazer Arthit's side. It's a brilliant slowburn romance that leads neatly into the sequel, "SOTUS S," which follows Arthit's transition from Openly Queer University Student to Closeted Real World Employee and shows how his fear of bigotry affects his relationship with Kongphob, who's still in the safety of school. Their last installment in the "Our Skyy" episode focuses on Arthit struggling with Kongphob's impending departure to Beijing where he'll be studying for the next two years.

In the lead-up to the infamous scene above, Arthit has spent hours doomscrolling forums about long-distance relationships after secretly breaking down into tears twice because he's not coping well with the looming separation. He's doing this, by the way, in a park overlooking the bridge where he and Kongphob had their first kiss. He's doing this, I presume, for optimal self-harm.

Let's watch the scene together, shaaaall we?

That hurt, huh! \:D/

First of all, and I just like to say this to cause unnecessary pain, but I'm pretty sure Kongphob was building up to a proposal before Arthit succumbed to his anxiety spiral, pulled out a trident, and lanced him through the heart with it.

But anyway, I'm not here to talk about the characters. I'm here to talk about the crying.

Because apparently, Krist wasn't supposed to start crying here:

Disclaimer: I can't find the source for this lore, but I've checked in with other Peraya who also remember it from somewhere, so either we're all sharing in a very specific mass hallucination or it's real.

Krist has said in the past that he draws on personal experience when he acts. Some characters, like Arthit, are easier for him to portray because he can align some aspect of himself with the character. Kawi, famously, was one of his biggest challenges because he couldn't wrap his head around a character who avoids communicating when he needs to.

Normally to make himself cry, Krist said he usually thinks of family or other people he loves, but for this scene, he thought specifically of Singto leaving him to study abroad.

Before Singto officially left GMMTV to go freelance in 2022, he'd always talked about going overseas to attend film school. I don't have any source for this, but since their "Our Skyy" episode wasn't based on anything, it's possible they based the script for this episode on Singto's real-life plans to study abroad and applied them to Kongphob's canon desire to study economics in graduate school.

So when they filmed this scene, Krist started crying much earlier than Arthit was meant to, and they just kind of had to roll with it. He was too overwhelmed by the thought of Singto leaving, it just overflowed.

So now that you know The Lore, have a watch of that scene again. That's Krist thinking about Singto leaving him someday.

Why do I bring this up, you're wondering?

WELL.

"The Ex-Morning" is an exes-to-lovers series, right? And unless it's been altered in the revisions for some reason, the premise is that Tamtawan (Singto) broke up with Pathapi (Krist) in university and then moved overseas, only coming back years later to help Pathapi patch up his reputation as a reporter.

We know flashbacks were filmed, and there's a scene in the pilot teaser where we see Tamtawan end things with Pathapi, so I'm pretty sure that's going to be in the full series.

And I think it was filmed waaay back in Q6, because one of the crew is seen crying while filming.

Since Krist made himself cry in "Our Skyy" with the thought of Singto someday leaving him, I'm willing to bet every limb I have as well as one of my chocolate Easter eggs that he used Singto's actual leaving to make himself cry this time.

And seeing how well he did in "Our Skyy," I can see why drawing on experience would make even the crew cry.

Oh, and just to twist the knife, after Singto officially left GMMTV, the pandemic and his father's health interfered with his plans, so he didn't end up going overseas. Krist, who'd understood and supported him going, saw him Not Going Anywhere and convinced himself that Singto had just used that as an excuse to get away from working with him. They talked about it when Singto first came back, and while Krist was smiling and laughing during the interview itself, Singto said he had to talk Krist down from sobbing over the phone for a Very Long Time to convince him.

He might have supported Singto leaving to pursue his dream, but from the way Krist's described it, he missed Singto every day he wasn't by his side.

Basically, I think this series is a form of therapy.

Get ready to cry along, y'all. \:D/

[my-name-is-apollo]

I had not expected the Apollo vs Poseidon in the Dionysiaca to go so hard:

"And now a fiery chief stood up to the champion of the deep: Phoibos, to fight with Poseidon. He set shaft on string, and also lifted a brand of Delphic fir in each hand doubledextrous, to use fire against the surging sweep of water, and arrows against the trident. Fiery lance and watery arrows crashed together: while Phoibos defended his home the upper air rattled a thunderclap for a battlesong; the stormy trumpet of the sea brayed in the ears of Phoibos — a broadbeard Triton boomed with his own proper conch, like a man half-finished, from the loins down a greeny fish — the Nereids shouted the battlecry — Arabian Nereus pushed up out of the sea and bellowed, shaking his trident."

(Book 36, Trans. William Henry Denham Rouse )

Apollo is fighting Poseidon standing on Delos - an island - completely surrounded by Poseidon's domain. He's ambidextrous apparently and is using fire against Poseidon's water. There's thunder in the skies sounding like a battle song (thanks Zeus) and the roar of the waves is tearing Apollo's ears (thanks Triton). Poseidon has his entire gang cheering for him.

Like don't get me wrong, Apollo peacefully refusing to fight Poseidon in the Iliad is good on its own, but their fight in Dionysiaca is so so fun to visualise.

[dailyraphael]

Solmare has yet to give us a Memory Card starring Levi and Raph and that's just... unacceptable. What do you think Levi and Raph would talk about? Would Levi have the guts to tell Raph that spears aren't a very common choice of weapon in video games? Do you think Raph taught Levi how to use a Trident? I know he's younger and all but... I could see him having an aptitude for lances very quick.

day... checks notes... 38! thank you for waiting, 24 hours of travel took it out of me lol, back to your regularly scheduled raphael

the lack of a raph and levi memory card is absolutely unacceptable, i need one of raph encouraging levi cmon cmon!! but i think the combination of levi misinterpreting raphael's dryness but raphael rooting for levi would be very funny!! he wonders why levi is so scared around him....

unrelated but also! if you're seeing this before 11:59pm EST and you like Levi, you should take a look at (and totally apply for) the Levi zine! maybe one of you can find an excuse to fit raphael in... please...

On review, this tournament seems a bit convoluted. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

!! Freshest Artifact To Get Into Hands With Intent Of Harm !!

This is the masterpost for the tournament! I will be linking each individual poll underneath as the tournament goes on.

Propaganda is welcomed and encouraged! I will reblog any and all that comes my way.

Due to the size and diversity of weapons in Homestuck I have divided the tournament into pools. This is so we dont have two swords or two hammers or two assault rifles for the finals so on so forth. To keep track of pools with more than one round of brackets, these pool-brackets will now be called Acts. If a Pool doesn't have more than one Act it will not be refereed to with one.

— Les mythes fondateurs

et quelques petites idées de ce en quoi les envolien.nes croient.

Les pionniers : Iels étaient cinq au départ, et la légende ne précise pas d'où iels vinrent. Haeldar, Sélania, Abysseon, Belich'tria et Vaymire. On dit d'eux qu'iels étaient de la même famille, frères et sœurs et s'iels découvrirent Envola, iels ne tardèrent pas à devoir lutter pour leur survie, l'essence même de ce qui deviendrait l'empire qu'on connaît aujourd'hui, hostile à la présence d'autres créatures.

Les premières années :

Haeldar créa les premiers Envolien.nes, et commanda à leur bravoure de se ruer à l'assaut des monstres - parce qu'ils avaient décidés de s'établir en ces lieux et qu'aucune bête ne saurait leur tenir tête. Armé.es de lames, de tridents, d'arcs et de tout leur courage insuffler par les dieux, ils repoussèrent suffisamment les monstres dans les montagnes pour établir un premier grand bastion; Cimeclat. Encore aujourd'hui prié par les Heraldien.nes, Haeldar est un symbole de persévérance, d'honneur et de bravoure. Les statues le représentant montrent un homme grand et droit, les cheveux longs rabattus en arrière sous son heaume, un bouclier couvrant son buste et une lance lourde et épaisse plantée dans le sol devant lui.

Mais les crocs acérés des bêtes, les regards ensorceleurs des monstres avaient fait des ravages dans les rangs des créations d'Haeldar aussi, Sélania, sa soeur, foula de son pas léger le monde jusqu'à trouver la foret d'Umbrevive. Dans son immensité, elle se gorgea de ce que les bois et la nature avaient de plus beau, de plus fort et elle en revint changée. Capable des plus grands miracles elle soigna les guerriers blessés de son frère et dans un souffle qu'elle tint pendant huit jours et sept nuits, elle donna naissance aux elfes.

Faisant partie des blessés, leur frère Abysseon s'enfonça dans un coma qu'elle-même ne parvint pas à soigner. Elle se contenta d'attendre, guérissant d'un baiser chacun de ses cauchemar le maintenant loin d'elle, chacun de ses doutes et doucement, il revint à la vie. Mais il avait vu la mort, et la mort l'avait regardé aussi. Il ne fut plus jamais le même, persuadé que leur fin était proche, annonçant d'une voix lugubre que l'embrasement du monde commencerait lorsque les trépassés reviendraient à la vie. Il était le porteur de mauvaises nouvelles, le corbeau des plus grandes tempêtes et plutôt que de craindre les morts foulant la terre, il s'enfuit dans les vagues des plus profonds océans bordant leur royaume, créant des créatures pour lui tenir compagnie; les sirènes et tritons.

Belich'tria était sans doute la plus douce et la plus discrète des cinq, sans cesse par monts et par vaux, désireuse de ne prendre parti dans aucun conflit, elle était férue de mystère et de magie, désirant recenser tout ce qui existait dans leur nouvel univers parfait. Lorsqu'elle découvrit une créature ailée qu'elle ne connaissait pas, elle ne s'arrêta plus de la suivre, quand bien même ses pas la guidèrent jusqu'à la lisière du monde. Elle avait marché 83 jours sans interruption et elle ignorait comment rentrer chez elle. Perdue, esseulée, elle appela à l'aide et une voix effrayée lui répondit. Elle ne connaissait pas la langue qu'elle entendait, mais elle l'apprit et en quelques jours, elle se fraya un chemin dans les montagnes jusqu'au premier nid de harpies qu'elle croisa. Les créatures étaient belles et elle voulut absolument les ramener pour les présenter à ses frères et sœurs ; connaissant leur caractère emporté, cependant, elle se rendit compte qu'instruire les harpies quant à leur vie l'aiderait à prouver qu'elles étaient des créatures intelligentes ne nécessitant pas d'être tuées. Elle ne retrouva le chemin des siens qu'une centaine de jours après, lorsqu'elle leur revint, accompagnée d'harpies.

Quand à la fin de leur première année, toutes les créatures furent dispersées et que les premiers envolien.nes choisirent un endroit où s'installer, Vaymire accompagna ceux qui trouvèrent utile de poser pied à terre entre les volcans. Attirés par la force du feu canalisable et tout ce qu'ils pouvaient en faire, ils furent surpris, en pleine nuit, par des violents nuages noirs crachant la cendre et rapidement, le volcan entra en éruption. Presque tous anéantis, Vaymire vint flotter entre eux, les entourant de ses bras couverts de lave et les emporta loin de la catastrophe. Ils étaient peu à avoir survécus mais ils comprirent rapidement que leur peuple serait irrémédiablement attiré par les volcans aussi, ils ne partirent jamais trop loin, comme rattachés à leurs terres, plus qu'aucun autres. Les autres :

L'on raconte que la déesse mineure Thalass'ia fut entièrement créée par Abysseon; il sacrifia ses cheveux pour lui offrir une peau, fabriqua ses écailles dans les plus belles perles et il offrit son propre œil pour lui donner la vue. Leur amour créa les abysses du Fou où il se réfugia lorsqu'elle perdit la mémoire et s'en vint aux fins fonds des eaux. On dit aujourd'hui qu'il y vit toujours, fracassant les bateaux s'y risquant, et qu'un chant funeste peut se faire entendre lorsqu'à la nuit tombée, l'on navigue un peu trop près de ces eaux noires et inquiétantes; cela ne serait qu'une chanson d'amour pour qui pleure sa dulcinée disparue. Thalass'ia, quant à elle représente la liberté jamais acquise, et elle est le symbole des pirates de l'empire.

[agentrouka-blog]

I remember that scene in the book when The Mountain is fighting Loras, Sansa grabs Ned's arm and says 'Father don't let Ser Gregor hurt him'. That is very sweet to me personally as its a normal reaction a child would have, call your parents when in distress, and Sansa certainly views her father as her hero subconsiously. However, I remember seeing a comment on that how idiotic and stupid Sansa was to think that Ned could stop it. Like? Why do people have to be so bitter about everything that they try to tarnish a quite innocent moment. Also a paragraph later in the book, Ned himself stands up and shouts 'stop him!' in the same idiotic and stupid manner as Sansa, as if that would really stop him. It reinforces that like father, like daughter lmao

They really are so similar.

Sansa clutched at his arm. "Father, don't let Ser Gregor hurt him," she said. Ned saw she was wearing the rose that Ser Loras had given her yesterday. Jory had told him about that as well. "These are tourney lances," he told his daughter. "They make them to splinter on impact, so no one is hurt." Yet he remembered the dead boy in the cart with his cloak of crescent moons, and the words were raw in his throat. [...] By then Gregor was striding down the lists toward Ser Loras Tyrell, his bloody sword clutched in his fist. "Stop him!" Ned shouted, but his words were lost in the roar. Everyone else was yelling as well, and Sansa was crying. [...] The courser dashed away in panic as Ser Loras lay stunned in the dirt. But as Gregor lifted his sword for the killing blow, a rasping voice warned, “Leave him be,” and a steel-clad hand wrenched him away from the boy. [...] It was the king’s voice that put an end to it … the king’s voice and twenty swords. Jon Arryn had told them that a commander needs a good battlefield voice, and Robert had proved the truth of that on the Trident. He used that voice now. “STOP THIS MADNESS,” he boomed, “IN THE NAME OF YOUR KING!” (AGOT, Eddard VII)

I love the escalation of it, first Sansa, then Ned and finally Robert. And how it really showcases that Sansa has good instincts in spite of it all. Her seemingly unprompted fear sets the mood for this scene, though the reader ought to know that she has good reason to consider Gregor Clegane a dangerous monster. And the progression of the confrontation validates her even toward the end:

“Is the Hound the champion now?” Sansa asked Ned. “No,” he told her. “There will be one final joust, between the Hound and the Knight of Flowers.” But Sansa had the right of it after all. A few moments later Ser Loras Tyrell walked back onto the field in a simple linen doublet and said to Sandor Clegane, “I owe you my life. The day is yours, ser.”

To quote @istumpysk: Little Nostradamus is walking among us.
