Ringo wrote a song - part one (part two, part three)
While in Auckland, New Zealand, the Beatles talk to Bob Rogers about Ringo's songwriting, 25th June 1964
George: As far as Ringo and I are concerned, we'll leave the songwriting to...
Paul: Oh! Excuse me...
Ringo: Err, excuse me, Paul is going to sing the one I've written!
Paul: Now, I can't… I can't quite remember it…
Ringo: Well I'll—
Paul: But even so—
Ringo: Just for a plug, Paul
Paul: We've just… Ringo has written one, called 'Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue'… a beautiful melody
Ringo: No—
Paul: A sincere thought
Ringo: That’s it, yes
Paul: 'Don't Pass Me By', it's called
Ringo: Don't miss… that's what it's called
George: But Elvis killed it
Ringo: Elvis killed it… what?
Bob: What?
George: When he did it
Bob: Elvis killed it?
Ringo: No, he didn't
Paul: No, but you really… this is Ringo's first venture into songwriting
John: Are you going to sing it for us now, Ringo?
Ringo: I'm not going to sing it, Paul's going to sing it
Paul: {singing} Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue, yeah-yeah
Ringo: It's got a blues feeling
Paul: Blues feeling, you know. {singing} Now, darlin', I know
John: I thought it was going to be Crumbly & Western?
Ringo: It was going to be a Western—
John: Crumbly & West… one of those
Ringo: —but Paul gave it the nicest Blues feeling man, and it knocked me out
John: It knocked you out, even though you wrote it?
Ringo: In fact, I'm going to get a tape of him singing it for me very own
Bob: Are the Beatles going to record it?
Ringo: I don't know...
Paul: You never know
Ringo: I don't think so, actually — I keep trying to push it on them every time we make a record
John: And we always try and do it, but unluckily, there's never quite enough time to fit Ringo's song on… because he never finishes it.
Ringo: Is it finished?
Paul: It's finished
Ringo: We finished it
There's a video of Piano Hands Guy™️ Ves below the cut for this week's lost media post. It is a different setup from the others, but still does not show his face. There is a brief glimpse of neck and a lot of hand/arm (also a bit of shaky cam).
The title of this video was: Red Seas Fire- Skye (Live Piano Cover), which intends there was a normal piano cover that he did in his room but alas I don't think I have that one 😩
When you're done watching this video go listen to Skye and sit in awe of Ves's piano prowess 👍(also its an amazing song, so glad he indirectly introduced me to RSF).
what do they fill horror podcasts with i swear. its like i start one and i blackout and suddenly its a week later and i've listened to eight hours of episodes every day since then
frog - jinshi x reader (Spoiler Warning for Chapter 63 of the manga)
"hng." Jinshi whimpers, face flushed as you freeze.
It's a frog. You fucking swear it's a frog. You didn't just accidentally grab and squeeze Jinshi, a fucking eunuch's, dick. You did not. You are hallucinating. That was the frog that jumped on you and knocked you off balance— nOT Jinshi's dick or whatever. He shouldn't even have one!
"Sorry." You sit up, legs still straddling Jinshi as you get off of his chest. "I saw a frog and fell."
Jinshi sits up with you, face flushed in embarrassment as you pray you can play stupid out of this one. It was hard enough that he literally witnessed you hurl a rock at the assassin with eerie precision, but you would rather die than have to die with Jinshi because you found out he wasn't a eunuch.
Every day your loyalty is tested when around this man.
"That makes this way easier." Jinshi sighs, grabbing you by the shoulder as you tense up to lean back from him. "I have a confession to make. I—"
"I think I killed the frog." You mumble, face pale. You're acting. You have to. You are not following Jinshi to the grave and cleaning up the aftermath of his ass getting someone pregnant.
"No, listen, that wasn't—"
"Oh my god, I'm not gonna make it to heaven." You mumble again, staring at your hand before wiping it on your chest. "Master Jinshi, I'm going to hell."
"No, that wasn't—"
"I'm going to hell because I crushed a frog..." You mumble.
Jinshi gets fed up with your acting, pushing you backward into the dirt as he cages you in, lifting your leg as he presses his clothed erection into you. You yelp, trying to crawl away, but he holds you in place, eyes staring through yours to your soul as you shake underneath him. Playing stupid didn't work this time.
"That was not a frog," and he rolls his hips against yours for emphasis, watching as you mentally restrain yourself from moaning. God, since when were you this lewd?! "Stop playing stupid, pretty one. You gave it a good squeeze too."
You freeze up as he lowers himself ever so slowly, and you blurt your thoughts out before you can think of what the best choice is at the moment.
"I am not having my first kiss on the dirt in a cave!" You cry, praying that it's enough. Seriously, you aren't following Jinshi to the grave. He may be hot, and women may throw themselves at him and men turn gay for him and nations go to war for him but you are not following him to the grave. Your loyalty does not lay that strong. You don't want to die just yet.
Jinshi leans in anyway, lips brushing yours as a bark sounds above you as you call back, and you sigh in relief when you hear Maomao's voice.
My favorite part of Malevolent so far is the season opening where it makes you think John and Arthur just had another fight over something serious between seasons... but it turns out John is just pissed at Arthur for refusing to take him to a movie he saw an ad for LOL
