every single personal account of knowing the beatles is like .
john was the biggest asshole ive ever met with an insufferable superiority complex. great guy. paul was the most polite and complimentary person in every room he stepped into. couldn’t fucking stand him
Last night (I said these words to myyyy girl) I was up trying to practice ugly drawing. It's not like when I actually try they're pretty, but I think it's important to learn to be okay with sketching, and the sketch not being perfect and beautiful. So I'm here to share those, so not just me, but random strangers on the internet can laugh at them too.
Context: I was watching a video about how to draw a person to be recognizable. Now, I do not really know how to do that, so I was like, why not try it? These sketches were done under a minute except for the left bottom (it was also made from memory) and left top one (I was too lazy to take it seriously, tho I had a reference and had all the time I wanted/needed). Yup, that's all
Here to show my art (more like sketches) infected by Beatlemania :D
The third one is half done, I was too lazy to draw his clothes, and also, I just ditch drawing eyes whenever John has his glasses on. Also, in the second pic on the right, it's a Paul McCartney sketch (clarifying, cause some ppl said it's not recognizable T-T). Yeah, that's all for now
=(
It's been a "thinking about starrison on company time" kinda afternoon
EDIT: I MEANT STARRISON I DIDN'T MEAN MCHARRISON I'M SO SLEEP DEPRIVED GOODBYE
reread this post and maybe this is an unpopular mclennon opinion? but i think they both didn't actually understand each other as well as they thought they did. i think both of them believed the other could read their mind and then filtered their subsequent actions as a conscious slight. like. john should know that paul is someone who keeps his feelings very closely guarded, who will always choose to keep the peace and to put on a good face when he's upset. but throughout the breakup, when paul seemingly stays as productive as ever, staying distantly polite to yoko while urging john to keep writing, keep beatling, everything's fine, time to put on a show, john takes it that paul doesn't care one way or another about their partnership dissolving, he's a perfectly capable one-man band hit machine anyway. this is seemingly confirmed by paul announcing the breakup to "sell a record," effectively ending all hope of quietly reconciling and supporting john's theory that paul was done with the beatles (john) anyway and had been on his way out once he learned he could write a #1 song without anyone's (john's) help. all he cares about is hits and money and his new perfect family and farm.
meanwhile. paul should know that john wasn't handling the pressures of the beatles well. he should know that he needed more support. but paul seems to be someone who gets stuck in his ways of thinking about people (see also: george), and doesn't seem to have ever shaken the image of john as the older, cooler teddy boy on the bus who he'd do anything to impress. he thinks the world of john and spends the 60s thinking they're in a friendly competition, not realizing john has started falling into the paranoia that he's losing. you can see it in get back. paul is waiting for john to write his next great song, to set a new bar for paul to push himself to reach. paul got john by impressing him with his music and when he's losing john he doubles down on it because he thinks that's the only valuable thing he has to offer. he might have offered the support john needed instead if he knew what that was, but he didn't. but mid-60s john, who still thinks paul understands him, thinks paul knows he needs him but chooses to spend his time flitting around swinging london instead, which deeply hurts him. john clings to yoko because she's a breath of fresh air from the constant race he's been running for a decade. a creative partner he doesn't have to chase down. someone who needs him as much as he needs her. a woman he can marry, can have a real commitment to. he can be everything to the person who is everything to him. but paul sees this as john finally outgrowing him and finding someone better.
paul also should know that john often speaks first and decides whether he believes what he said later. but it seems he only ever takes john at his word. when john leaves the beatles that's it, no negotiation, because if paul has lost john to someone more interesting, more artistic, then that's that. when john starts to talk publicly about paul's muzak and granny shit that must be true too, it's why john left after all. and granted john just wont stop shit talking him and it's not like he just fell on a keyboard and how do you sleep came out. but this is how you get a paul who starts to see himself as a villain and questions whether john did love him. he doesn't think too many people was that nasty compared to what john was saying about him in interviews because he doesn't realize that one of john's biggest fears is that he's incapable of being a great songwriter without paul. so to john, the lucky break line is paul admitting he agrees with that assessment and twisting the knife. but paul wouldn't see it that way because he's only ever had john on a pedestal.
so by the 70s, on their worst days, john thinks paul is cold marble statue who knows he's better than him and delights in it and paul thinks john is entirely out of love or use for him, if he ever had it in the first place. and of course, they could never talk about any of this openly because neither of them were willing to face the pain of confirming that their love really was one-sided.
Atp there's just too much evidence, but... No but.
"I slept with John a lot"
Just Paul Mccartney's quotes aboutJohn...
Q: If John Lennon could come back for a day, how would you spend it with him? Paul: In bed"
"[John] was a wild and woolly genius who it was my pleasure to work with, walk with, talk with and occasionally sleep with. "
"John was really my only male friend, if only because of proximity."
“I’ll just sit around and hug him forever, because that’s the depth of my feeling for him."
"Delicious boy, delicious broth of a boy."
"John and I used to hitch-hike places together. It was something that we did together quite a lot; cementing our friendship, getting to know our feelings, our dreams, our ambitions together. It was a very wonderful period. I look back on it with great fondness. I particularly remember John and I would be squeezed in our little single bed."

Guys, is it gay to look at your songwriting partner while writing the line “I'd love to turn you on.” and then call that a "sneaky little look"? Just askin'...
Oh boy...
"I remember doing the vocal to Kansas City – well I couldn’t quite get it, because it’s hard to do all that stuff, you know, screaming out the top of your head. John came down from the control room and took me to one side and said “You can do it, you know, you’ve just got to scream, you can do it.” So, thank you. Thank you for that. I did it.
I remember writing ‘A Day In The Life’ with him, and the little look we gave each other as we wrote the line “I’d love to turn you on.” We kinda knew what we were doing, you know. A sneaky little look. Oh boy....
After that there was this girl called Yoko...."
Paul is so emotional when he talks about it... You can see how hard it is for him... 😭
