i could go on and on about gifted kid burnout/what being gifted or intelligent does to a person. especially when it’s represented in characters in media. like, there’s so many characters who recieved academic validation but reacted so differently about it and it’s always so interesting to me.

[love-geeky-fangirl]

Again, if you like multiple of these, pick the one you like the most.

[mrepstein]

[when Brian Epstein died] I was actually at Anglesey, which is a little island off the coast of Wales. We didn’t have a phone there. The farmer got a message, came to my place and said, ‘Gerry, I have a message. Mr Brian Epstein’s dead.’ I said, ‘What?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘No, you mean he’s sick?’ He said, ‘No, Epstein is dead.’ So I run to the phone and there was his doctor, Norman Cowan, who had rung me to tell me, and I was very shocked. The strange thing was that the Beatles were up there at Bangor, which was only ten miles from where I was, having toured the world and everything in between. But the day that Brian died, I was in Anglesey and they were in Bangor. Very strange. It was a very, very sad time.

do you have any recommendations of books about brian or beatles bios that talk about brian more in depth? sorry if this is not a good place to ask!

Hi anon!

The classic first stop would be In My Life: The Brian Epstein Story, by Debbie Geller, which is a biography mostly built up with quotes from loved ones and associates of Brian.

The Man Who Made The Beatles by Ray Coleman. Another biography, more gossipy, and obviously coming from someone somewhat close to The Beatles' circle.

A Cellarful of Noise by Brian Epstein (Derek Taylor) Honestly, it's just amusing to me more than anything. This man had no business releasing his autobiography right in the middle of beatlemania. It's a short read (obviously!). It's a little time capsule, at the very least, and there's some sweet moments/moments of insight.

The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story by by Vivek J. Tiwary (Author), Andrew C. Robinson (Illustrator) and Kyle Baker (Illustrator) - Graphic novel about Brian's life. Very dear to me. Vivek did a lot of research and interviews and poured a lot of heart into this work.

Standing In the Wings: The Beatles, Brian Epstein and Me by Joe Flannery - Another book very dear to me. Paints a really vivid picture of life for men like Joe and Brian in that era in Liverpool. Very underrated book.

Other books where Brian is significant:

As Time Goes By by Derek Taylor - A lush read.

Tune In by Mark Lewisohn - Obviously.

The Beatles - Hunter Davies - The later editions include Hunter's reflections on Brian, and the certain truths he had to leave out at the time and why.

What's It All About? by Cilla Black - Cilla was very dear to Brian, and vice versa.

I've probably forgotten a few, but that's a decent start, hope it helps!

requesting rules and information

hello all and welcome to my requesting rules and guidelines post! i wanted to put this information out there in a place that was easy to access and all up-to-date to make for a fun and safe space for everyone to enjoy!

as mentioned in my about me post, i am a uni student and so there may be periods of inactivity or when my requests are closed for longer than usual, but please do not be alarmed i will be returning and your posts will be answered. so with that in mind it would be very much apprciated if you could not spam my ask box with the same request over and over again, or chasing up a request; if it has been requested it will be on my list and i will get to it so long as it does not ask something of me which i have stated i will not be writing. HOWEVER if i am active and your request did not ask me to write anything i stated in my boundaries post that i would not write and it has been a while since you sent it in there is a chance that it may have gotten lost so it is okay if you send me a message or request it again!

if requests are closed i would appreciate it if you would refrain from sending any requests in as i will not see them and they may get lost if too many are sent in when i am away. this would also make it difficult for me to get on top of posting again when i return from my breaks! when requests are open or closed will be noted in my biography!!

below are the characters and fandoms i write for, however, if there is someone not listed below you can request for them as chances are i will have heard of them but may not be the biggest fan of the show/movie/book but i will do my best and otherwise i will let you know! if a character below is crossed out then it just means i am taking a break from writing for thme for now, just to keep things interesting and so i am not always writing for the same person so, check back often as this may change!

The thread from the weekend of the Beatles’ 1967 Bangor trip and Brian’s death to the vultures descending and India...

'He was like your father. I will be your father now.’

I think John got particularly frightened.

There was no one steering the ship.

...they were all there for the rich pickings called the Beatles. I thought it was a very sinister meeting.

Well, no, I’m afraid not, Robert.

They were able to fall back on what the Maharishi would advise...

John wasn’t in good shape at that time...Paul took the lead in Brian’s absence.

Brian’s death kind of opened the floodgates.

The trouble with him dying at that moment was that it actually pushed them into the arms of the Maharishi, whereas if he hadn’t died, it would have blown over...The Beatles would not have gone to India and all these things would not have happened.

Brian [Epstein] was very straightforward with me about being gay. We could talk about it quite openly, particularly once we got to know each other. He never hit on me at all. There was never any question of it. We lived so intimately together that there would have been one evening when he was sort of drunk and so on. It would have been in his character to do that. But we didn’t really talk about that. I remember sitting in his car one night talking about a girl that he’d once sort of loved at RADA and this was his lost love. His family hadn’t liked her. She’d not been up to par or something. Brian had a bit of sorrow about this. I don’t know what the strength of it was but we talked a long time about that and he seemed quite sad that it had not worked out. But that was the extent of that. From then on he was just kind of openly gay and none of us minded, really. We were quite naive. Sometimes on the road we would go to a late-night drinking club which was great because we’d worked long and wanted to relax. There were often all men there. I don’t think any of us went, ‘Oh, there’s all men here.’ It just sort of happened. I don’t think it was till years later we said, ‘Oh, that was probably a gay hangout.’ I don’t think we inquired too much of Brian. We knew he had certain friends and we knew who they were and what the relationship was but we didn’t really talk too much about it, I think it was probably better that way. He had his own life and we had ours. I didn’t tell him about every girl I went with. I think in many ways it was a plus because there’s a gay network in show business. There are a lot of people who are gay so that a lot of the TV producers we would find ourselves working with we'd later find out were gay. So now I can see that Brian was networking. I think it was only ever a plus. It was never negative.

“they had to really not like me for me to not get in. it’s like they know me or something.” oh my GOD.

Brian Epstein did a lot and he should not be given short shrift. He had a large view of his place in the world, and despite the pressures he felt, his life did account for believing in possibilities.

With the advantage of looking back thirty years now and knowing what we know about certain things, I would say he certainly had all the symptoms of someone who was a manic depressive. His mood swings were not frequent but immediate. He was either very elated or he was withdrawn and these mood swings were triggered by very small things. Like if someone came in and said they'd read a bad review of the Beatles, he would shut down completely and stare at you. Or if you said something he just couldn't relate to he'd suddenly become silent and you'd get the starey look. Then it would stop. When he was more manic, he was creative, bright, full of enthusiasm. When he talked about music or people he always used his hands. He had these tremendous expressions as if he was talking about some imperial court. Brian felt that he had a miniature empire that he was running and he had the same rules that a royal scene would have.
