Okay so a year ago I made a reclist of books that have a similar vibe to Captive Prince, and then @getbeatrized​ commented on it saying that they wish there was one for the Him series by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. 

Now this isn’t the exact same because they’re not all m/m friends-to-lovers hockey series, but a good few of them are so hopefully they’re useful to someone:

• Season’s Change by Cait Nary (This was a book I really enjoyed and cannot fathom how it has less than 4 stars on goodreads. Like, I debated making a post about it a few weeks ago to try and get people to read and review.)

• Game Changers series by Rachel Reid (Shane and Ilya!!!).

• All of Taylor Fitzpatrick’s hockey books (The author also has an AO3.)

• Scoring Chances series by Avon Gale.

• Catherine Cloud’s books.

“His spirit’s sort of still in mine.” STILL. Man they were soulmates and he knew it back then like he knows it now.

I also like how it’s not “The Beatles (Band) RPF”. like at what point does it stop being rpf? is there a statute of limitations? if half the rpf is dead it doesn’t count?

Howling at this comment I’ve just seen under a video of Paul & Harris filming:

Paul was insane for this

[james-winston]

nah cause the added layer of implication that John hadn’t fallen in love yet, that he wasn’t in love with Yoko

“Over the years, whenever Paul has been asked to talk about John, he usually ends up saying that John was a lovely guy.  Well I’ve seen John be funny, I’ve seen him be witty, I’ve seen him be sarcastic, but I’ve never really seen him be lovely.

But the lovely John that Paul has been talking about for years was actually captured on film.”

-Peter Jackson, on John Lennon in Get Back 

“I become whoever I’m with. And so, if I’m with a mad man, I become mad.

And if I’m with somebody I love, I become lovely.”

- John Lennon, 1975

Went to see Mark Lewisohn’s show back in June 2023 (Hornsey Road, so focused on the later years of The Beatles), and he played the This Week interview, where he deliberately rewound and paused at this moment:

Then he talked about how this was a reminder of how close they’d both been, and how he feels (probably like we all do), that The Beatles break up was especially sad because of what it did to John and Paul’s relationship. That it led to them saying things they probably regretted.

Then he pointed back at that image and said, “but that, that’s the truth.”

Been super busy in life so I’ve been pretty indifferent to the Beatles biopic stuff but tell me why I’ve just seen some behind the scenes filming and got all emotional over Mal. Like there he is 🥹 their roadie 🥹 Mal & Nell on the big screen 😭

I'm not the first one to post about this so if you did, I'm sorry I'm not trying to steal your credit I'm just too lazy to find your post.

following on from my last post, there’s no amount of money i wouldn't pay to see linda realising that paul genuinely had no idea john wanted to f*ck him.

Paul, scoffing: I would’ve known, we slept in the same bed all the time.

Linda, staring into his soul: yes!!! exactly!!!!

[james-winston]

moment of comedic reflection for that interview where the reporter is asking paul and linda about john, and paul is being his usual obliviously unhinged self about him, and then he steps outside, and linda takes a minute to talk to the reporter and be like, "please know that i know how insane he is about this, i am fully aware of how fucked up they are"
