Just a meme I made in honor of my new mclennon fanfic lmaoo đ
Stuart was going to stay in Hamburg, cos heâd fallen in love with this girl Astrid [Kirchherr], who was part of a little set who called themselves the Exiâs, existentialists. They were very cool in black, tight trousers, little high-heeled boots. She was blonde, she had a short Peter Pan pageboy haircut, she looked dead cool. Weâd never seen a chick like it. She dressed like a boy, a very slim little boy, so it was all, Fuckinâ hell, look at her! I think we all fancied her but she fancied Stuart, whoâd been the one guy whoâd never been able to pull anything in our band. Weâd always pulled before old Stu, but he got these great shades and struck a James Dean pose, got his hair going groovy like James Dean, so she went mad for him. And their group used to really like Stuart. I think it went: Stuart, John, George, me, Pete Best. That was their order of preference. They took some great photos of us.Â

That's my favorite...
The one where Paul couldnât get a word in
Warwick Hotel Press Conference| New York, NY | August 13, 1965
-
Lennon's jealousy has found himself showing aggression towards McCartney's various girlfriends over the years.
Peggy Lipton: John snarled at her when Paul brought her to dinner with the Beatles.
Jane Asher: John has clashed with on multiple occasions.
Linda McCartney: John, in 1971, publicly declared was not, in his opinion, âparticularly attractive."
-
In 1986, Paul recalls John asking him to not sleep with Yoko Ono.
PAUL: "I mean, he warned me off Yoko once. You know, âLook, this is my chick!â âCause he knew my reputation. I mean, we knew each other rather well. And um, I felt⊠I just said, âYeah, no problem. But I did sort of feel he ought to have known I wouldnât, but.. You know, he was going through âIâm just a jealous guyâ. He was a paranoid guy. And he was into drugs. Heavy.â
-
Robert Rosen, who read the diaries in 1981 after Dakota employee Fred Seaman stole them, was shocked to find that Lennon wrote about Paul "almost every day."
ROSEN: "Obviously I knew about the rivalry with McCartney, and the jealousy, but I think the extent of it... how often he thought about McCartney, and how jealous he was... I found that pretty shocking."
-
PAUL: I understood what happened when he first met Yoko. He had to clear the decks of his old emotions. He went through all his old affairs, confessed them all. Me and Linda did that when we first met. You prove how much you love someone by confessing all the old stuff. Johnâs method was to slag me off.âÂ
John slagged Paul off to.. prove his love to Yoko?
-
In regards to Lennonâs early-70s defacement of Paulâs McCartneyâs wedding photo,
PAUL: âWell, I mean, I think that starts to show the sort of pain he was going through. I think⊠[âŠ] If someone took your wedding photo and put âfuneralâ on it [as he did on that manuscript], youâd tend to feel a bit sorry for the guy. Youâd think, wait a minute.â
-
I was dreaming of the past,
and my heart was beating fast.
I was feeling insecure,
you might not love me anymore.
PAUL: [John] wrote âIâm Just A Jealous Guyâ and he said that the song was about me.
Hello! Bit late to ask this but what are your fave spooky beatles fic?
It's never too late! Here are some spooky Beatles fics I enjoyed:
Turn Me On Dead Man by @aquarianshift. Paul is different. John is sure. (Go read this amazing story!) Go Where You're Going To by @louiselux. 1965. John and George take acid and hold a séance to speak to Julia. A story about ghosts and triangles and seeing vs. believing.
To Nobody by @eveepe. John's ghost visits Paul and Linda.
archangel by endcoda. 1967. Paul thinks he is possessed by the Devil.
How Do We Sleep At Night? by @dailyhowl. "Paul is swallowed by a painting, John abandons ship." Two nightmares.
love like ghosts by @backbenttulips. Yoko, John, and the ghost of Paul. A Rebecca AU.
vide noir by @backbenttulips. "Under the influence of a dangerous new drug, John disappears - and Paul is the only one willing to go through the looking glass to find him."
Ask the Glass by @unchaineddaisychain. On the uses of a Ouija board. From the prank séance aboard the Royal Iris to Paul's bedroom, this spooky and hot story has to be experienced to be believed. Just read it. It's John and Paul at their quintessential best (no spoilers...')
Mourning Moon by @with-eyes-closed. Another beautiful take on the Ouija board incident: "George spells Paul's mother's name as a joke on a ouija board, and John and Paul connect in the aftermath." Read this before or after "Ask the Glass" and be amazed by how two very different but equally great writers can take the same idea very different places.
that gum you like is going to come back in style by (@stargiirl27). Spooky times during the Get Back Sessions. Twin Peaks crossover with George at the center; J/P/G/R.
I hope you find something here you enjoy, anon!
