[banchie]

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

God it's hard to phrase this question in a non-biasing way. Also I promise I've encountered all of these phrases irl

if something else please tell me what!

ok now that you've voted i call it bitsa (short for bitsa this and bitsa that) because that's what my mum calls it and if you call it picky bits i assume you shop at m&s and use phrases like holibobs and hubby

Spin the wheel twice (feel free to re-spin if you don't recognize a character)

These two Star Trek characters are now stuck in a time loop, are the only two people aware of it, and need to work together to get out of it. How are they doing?

nobody has ever broken out of a loop faster before

good! they work together pretty well

eh. it's ok-ish

could go either way

it's not going well...

they're never making it out of there

Catherine O'Hara 1954 - 2026

Catherine O'Hara was one of the funniest actresses of her generation, maybe of all time. She made generations laugh from SCTV to Home Alone to Best in Show to Schitt's Creek, there was no one like her. She will be so dearly missed.

I love how whenever I rb a few pictures of a david dastmalchian photoshoot or red carpet look I always get half a dozen people responding "GURATHIN SLAYS???" in the throes of the same level of absolute shock as one experiences upon accidentally spotting a favorite middle school teacher out at a rave. yes. yes, indeed, gurathin does slay.

[annabelle--cane]

frankly gurathin is slaying absolute penis

Happy Beatlemas to @carolynhidthecake aka Adriennefrombrooklyn on tumblr!

John and Paul take a trip to Paris in 1961, and it becomes pivotal for their future together. Paul has been trying to keep his feelings about John hidden, both from John and everyone else.

This isn't a prompt from the kinkmeme, but because you listed John and Paul's trip to Paris in 1961 as one of your favourite Mclennon moments, I was inspired to write a fic about it, about what might've happened and what it might mean for their future together. I may have played with the timeline a little but I do include things that canonically happened on that trip. And some that probably didn't!

@adriennefrombrooklyn this is your secret santa :D!

Happy Beatlemas @heartsinthebasement! Here is your Secret Santa gift!

Clew (ao3)

A prompt fill from the @beatleskinkmeme: The first time John and Paul have LSD together and do "the eye contact thing," they notice a magical string connecting their hearts. Dear @heartsinthebasement, you said you "like fics that deal with them struggling with their sexuality, or having to come to terms with who they are," and I hope this story delivers this for you, along with some weird psychedelia and geodesic dome action! And a happy ending, of course. I wish you and everyone all the best for the new year, whether that means a YES in the right place, a polaroid of your fucked-up face, meeting the boy with the pink carnation, stepping out, growing old together, taking your friend to bed, or being one of the beautiful people! On behalf of Apple Corps [transmission interrupted by tape loops and giggles and John calling Paul his dear one]

Having a really long-term hyperfixation that has since faded is terrifying yes but it's also so embarrassing. Hi I used to think about Scrimblo Splungus 25/7. Yeah, for 2 years straight. Nah, I don't think about them anymore except for with a vague sense of melancholy as I recall how they used to make me feel. Anyways this new one, Blimpkins McGee? I'm gonna think about them forever and the cycle will NOT repeat in 2 years. Trust me guys.

Here's my fill for the @beatleskinkmeme Secret Santa for @sgtpeppers Happy holidays and I hope you enjoy! :) I used a Mclennon prompt I liked from the kink meme, and I'm sorry it wasn't one you suggested but inspiration struck with this, so I helplessly went along with that. I hope you like it! It's for the prompt:

"Inspired by the quote from the Elliot Mintz book, John ends up actually kissing Paul at one of their concerts in front of everyone and the band has to deal with the fallout of the world’s reaction to it and also figure out their relationship with each other"

Oh Dear What Can I Do?

John/Paul, kissing on stage! The wheels come off at Candlestick Park. First time, period typical homophbia, Rating explicit.

I wrote a thing! And am quite proud of myself for completing this after many false starts and a generally burdensome few months. On the downside, this fic actually deserved to be 30k not 12 but there wasn’t the time, this time around.
