“Used to wear my sadness like a choker, yeah, it had me by the throat” ― Loose Garment by MUNA  (requested by @fandomsarefamily1966)

Hot take that I've been sitting on for a bit: even if John and Paul were in love as a lot of the fandom seems to think, given the fact that homosexuality was illegal back then (and still is in many places) of course Paul's not gonna want to talk about it- and I wish people wouldn't act like he's 'lying' or whatever when he says that he's not gay, as whether he is or not is not anyone's business but his own :/

I mostly agree with this. (Though I want to make clear that I don't think speculation in of itself is an issue so long as it doesn't mix with entitlement and stays off platforms where Paul and his close ones can find it without seeking it out – that being said, it's honestly a bit funny to me when people publicly engage in this kind of speculation and then get pissy when someone simply disagrees with their conclusions.)

TBH, if it turns out it was real – in this case meaning: they were together in some capacity or there were reciprocated romantic feelings – and ESPECIALLY if this reveal happens, ahem, posthumously, I think I'll just be really sad for both of them. I already am sad for John, who I do believe was bi and must've struggled with that so much (and I do tend to think he had those feelings for Paul specifically, but I recognize that's not as cut and dry), but there's an extra layer of OOF if Paul has made it to the 2020s and the progress we've made still isn't enough to convince him it would be okay to talk about it. It could be he's just fiercely private or doesn't think it's worth sharing, but yeah…

It does feel sometimes like Paul is being held to some standard of authenticity he's expected to meet. Idk. anyone else have thoughts on this?

Hello! Have you read Paul's lyric book yet? If so, what do you think? (I saw it at the local library and got excited, but it was split into two volumes- I'm not complaining, though, just pointing it out)

I haven't, sorry!

Reverse unpopular opinion: Little Women! (Either book or movies)

Hhhmmmm.... I'm trying to think what constitutes popular and unpopular opinions in this mess of a fandom XD

I mean, the book has been a favorite since childhood and I have reread it many times, so I could be ages talking about everything I like and appreciate about it.

I'll tell you what, I'll list one thing I give kudos for to each adaptation of the novel that I have watched (except 2019, because someone asked about that one in particular, and I'm answering that ask next):

1970: It has an amazing Laurie, really.

1978: the writing of this one is clever, it engages with the text in its own terms and really tries to provide a fresh take on it.

The Mexican One: the writing of child Amy is hilarious and really captures the essence of what makes her character.

1994: the score of this one is Oscar-worthy. A classic for the ages.

2017: love, love, love the focus it puts on Meg and Beth and the value of their domestic lives.

2018: This one understands that Jo was not written to be a Feminist IdealTM, but a flesh and blood human woman, with virtues and defects.

Bonus track: The March Girls at Christmas has a very interesting and sweet take on Meg and Beth's relationship.

Send me a topic, and I will have to only say positive things about it, give a reverse unpopular opinion.

Are you gonna do John and Ringo for the polls next? 😊

like john vs ringo?

I don't know if you watch Doctor Who or not, but the way you write Kris reminds me a lot of the Ninth Doctor (and I mean that in the best possible way)

Like, imagine their S/O gets hurt or kidnapped, and they just get so angry and determined that they give their equivalent of Nine's "I'm gonna rescue her and none of you can stop me" speech

it's been a while since I've watched any, but my British friend got me mildly into it a few years ago and I remember I always did like Nine!

honestly if Kris' S/O is ever in danger, they might not even waste time talking... just hold a middle finger up to the universe and go GET THEIR BABE BACK dfadkjflka

Hello! Since we know Link loves puns, would you mind writing something where he tells a pun, reader bursts out laughing, and he gets both surprised and blushy, and/or they go around terrorizing people with puns together?

Oh my god I LOVE this idea. I’m having some friends in town this weekend, but I love this so much, and I’m definitely going to write this when I can

Giggling kicking my feet twirling my hair thinking about this

@fandomsarefamily1966​ said : Does Kris ever refer to their siblings as 'my kids'

Because I feel like they would

//   KRIS.

          “   I don’t know what you’re talking about, dude ... I don’t have siblings.   I have three KIDS.   ”

          “   ... Well.   Four.   Sometimes I count Asriel and Flowey as one just to piss Flowey off.   ”

Hi! Since you seem to be getting into more of George's solo work recently, I need to ask- what are your favorite songs/albums by him so far? 😊

I've just been progressing through all Beatles' solo stuff, but picked up the pace a lot last fall :) Hoping to continue in the new year!

I've listened as far as Somewhere In England, meaning I still have Gone Troppo, Cloud 9 and Brainwashed to go (sidenote: just noticed Cloud 9 is George's ninth album; neat!)

I think I'm pretty basic in that I like All Things Must Pass best, it's his most varied and consistent album (though I only go for the de-Spector-ized 2020 mixes) though its length means I don't listen to it often. My second fave so far is his self-titled album and after that my much more controversial opinion (which I only recently acquired) is that Extra Texture is the next best. The production on it is very samey-samey, which is why it took a while to make a strong impression on me, but it has more standout tracks to me than LITMW, Dark Horse, and 33&1/3.

Another basic thing about me is unironically My Sweet Lord is one of my absolute favourite George tracks. I just never get sick of it, it has an amazing key change. Outstanding. Also off ATMP: Run Of The Mill and Isn't It A Pity.

Some more fave songs: Who Can See It, Simply Shady, The Answer's At The End, This Guitar (Can't Keep From Crying), Soft-Hearted Hana, Faster (F1 rpf ftw!!!), Dark Sweet Lady and I continue to be an All Those Years Ago defender.

ALSO I have heard When We Was Fab and I loooooove that song.

Hestia: What does 'take out' mean?

Demeter: Food.

Aphrodite: Dating.

Ares: Murder.

Hermes: If you're a praying mantis, it means all of them.

So today I have a hot take and a question

Hot take: I feel like a lot of us tend to either forget or don't know that George could be just as hot-headed and quick to anger as John (I myself am not completely innocent here, which I'm sure you know) although it makes his constant efforts to try and improve himself kind of sweet, in a way?

Question: If George was an 'I can fix him' guy, then what does that make Paul? (Alternatively, what do you think makes someone an 'I can fix them' person? I bring this up because of this post I saw about Paul explaining away John and George's behavior and it got me thinking)

About George - yeah, I always think about that May Pang quote where she says they were all as volatile as each other, it wasn't just John.

Paul = His (John's) Atrocities Are A Part Of Him And I've Decided They're Funny

Sky

Look, we know our boy is love-struck. It doesn’t take a genius to find that out.

Immediately weak in the knees with how hard he’s swooning.

Know that one panel of him with all those hearts around his heads and that wobbly smile as his inner circuitry just melts?

You could walk away and he’s just so enthralled in you, beautiful, amazing, talented, stole his heart from his chest you.

“Mornin’ Sky!” He was certainly glad that the first thing he heard upon waking up was your chipper, sing-song voice.

It was secret to about no one that he was trying and failing to court you. He couldn’t help the way his heart raced and his lungs didn’t draw air. But he was more that ok to have you consume his every waking thought so long as- shitheprobablyshould’verespondedtoyoubynow

“Good morning” He smiled, perhaps a little too wide for someone he ‘held as a close friend’ But then again, how could he care when it was your hand that ruffled his hair with a stifled laugh.

“You’re cute when you wake up” Platonic love his ass- He was sold. Yours until the end of time and his spirit had been laid to rest at long last. He leaned further into your hands, sighing as your nails scratched his scalp.

He’s such a hopeless romantic.

But he’s fine if it’s for you.

Four

Utterly hopeless like Sky, but a different brand.

For him, all it takes is the slightest bit of conformation that he is, in fact, wanted and cared for by someone he cares for so that he crumbles.

And that’s a tough psyche to break, contrary to a lot of belief.

Under most circumstances and situations, he is calm and rational. The colors usually had their harmony, one carefully managed by each pushing and pulling at the consciousness to retain a personality.

But you? You make that fly out the fucking window.

Any sense of previously held sense gets abandoned in favor of you. Memorizing you, cherishing you, loving you— if you’d let him.

The second he found an empty clearing his mind had already unraveled. The loose strings of thought had already been unwoven, each voice loosing and sense of sensibility within a short few minutes.

“Hylia above-“ Blue immediately took to kicking the nearest rock, trying to rid himself of such a foreign feeling.

“No use calling on her” Green sprawled out across the grass, staring into the wide expanse of sky in an effort to coax his mind off the linger of your voice.

“Not now anyway. Not with our devotion spent elsewhere” Vio sat beside where Green had laid, trying to find some footing within this. Logic usually held no place within love. Yet why was it that you captured him to?

“Where we’re thanked so greatly and paid in kisses” Red, stood unmoving from exactly where he split.

“Forehead kisses” Blue mumbled in correction

“Bet you wish they were somewhere else, don’t you?” Violet quipped, looking over his shoulder as Blue had an epiphany… or an aneurysm. It was hard to tell.

“Guys.”

“I know I do.”

“We know.”

“Guys!”

“Among other things.”

“We know!”

“Guys!” Three heads swiveled to look at him.

“Are we going to do something about this or are we going to just…” He gestured vaguely to his surroundings.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…Nothing?”

“Nothing.”

Legend

Would rather die that admit he caught feelings.

Not that he hates that he loves you. Quite the contrary. There’s a very soft, very precious part of him that loves you.

A part of him he used to bear freely.

The part of him he’s learned to hide away behind layers of prickly attitude and rude jabs.

But make no mistake, he holds you to a high degree.

He almost reverts in a sense, flipping back to that gentle loving before remembering who he’s learned to be.

“I love your rings” You whisper absentmindedly as you fiddle with his aching hands, massaging out his weary joints. It’s the most comfort he’s had in a long while, i’m multiple ways. His knuckles eased of their hollow sting, His hands warmed by the hold of another’s, his heart full and well tended to.

One day, he wishes he could give you one. Perhaps one with a protection charm…. The resistance cover…. one from the binded pair?

That thought makes him happy— a ring on your finger.

“Enjoying yourself there, Vet?” Twilight teased from behind him somewhere.

“Fuck off.”
