I'm At The Scarborough Renaissance Faire Right Now 🩷. Anyone Else Here? 💐

I'm on chapter 33 Oh! Darling and istg if Ian Leslie doesn't mention the Oh! Johnnys I'm going to riot. This guy LISTENS to music, he catches the theme, the meaning, the secret messages of every single note so if he somehow misses that very obvious switch from darling to Johnny and back... Seriously, the Johnnys are screamed in your face, babe.

It goes darling, darling, Johnny, Johnny, darling-- God, I love that song! Grrrr!!

Ah, nothing like a lovely evening stroll with the love of your life while he has you hanging on to his every word 🥰.

Bonus--

Doesn't that just conjure up images of domestic bliss and harmony? 😊

😂😂

Oh my god, John. The flipper of a seal? Seriously John? Omigod. 😂

He does know that Mycroft will find out about that someday. He literally just said that he hears of Sherlock everywhere since John became his chronicler.

"With Ringo's self-explanatory 2004 collection Postcards from the Boys reproducing Lennon's missives to him, moreover, the absence of any letters from Lennon to McCartney is perhaps most conspicuous in Hunter Davies' book [The John Lennon Letters]. He tells me he did approach McCartney, however: "Paul said he had two letters from John, but they were personal."

The Now and Then music video is so magical I can't even handle it in one sitting, I'm literally 2 minutes in and I've already restarted it 3 times, my heart can only take so much at a time 🥹💔❤️

Ian Leslie's favorite songs that remind him of John + Paul ❤️❤️❤️

He has Jealous Guy and (Just Like) Starting Over on the list! That is huge! Those songs are both very important to the McLennon story. This is amazing. According to Paul, John told him that he wrote Jealous Guy because of the way he had treated Paul. It was a song of love, asking for forgiveness. (Just Like) Starting Over is also for Paul from John. As far as I know Paul has never talked about this, but his old Wings bandmate, Denny Laine, said that after John died, Paul locked himself in his studio, bawling and playing that song over and over. It obviously means a great deal to him.

One very important song that's missing is the collaboration between Paul and Carl Perkins, My Old Friend. The lyrics came to Carl, almost out of nowhere, and they reminded Paul so much of John that he started crying and excused himself. Carl felt bad but Linda reassured him that Paul finding an outlet for his emotions was exactly what he needed.

(Hopefully I didn't get any facts wrong. I'm having trouble finding everything I'm looking for tonight, to double check.)

Butter PIE! 🧈🥧

WE CAN'T...OR WE CAN

A:"we...we can't..."

C:"Oh fuck...say it again, angel."

A:"We can't...we can't, Crowley...oh god..."

C:"Yes...yes, the more you say it the more you turn me on..mmh"

A:"We can't, it's wrong...it's absolutely irreverent and...oh fuck...fuck..."

C:"Keep going, angel...don't stop..."

A:"What would the others say if they found us like this..."

C:"Like how, angel?...Aah, describe it..."

A:"Me...me on top of you...naked...as we grind...as we touch...as we savor each other...both so close to coming..."

C:"Yes...yes fuck, keep going...keep singing..."

A:"...while you're inside me...as I enjoy every thrust of yours...and I pant...I pant your name loudly...as I scratch your back...as I move my hips towards you to make you continue...please, please keep making me moan and wet the blankets we're lying on...."

C:"Yes...Ah ah angel...I'm about to come..."

That feeling when the married couple next to you starts squabbling
