Hi, I'm mdsmn (midas man). they/them. aroace.

I'm not big on anyone. Yes, even Brian, but I have a feeling that might change. I really just needed an outlet for my classic rock obsession.

I'm a regular on his ask blog. It's a wonder the mod hasn't gotten rid of me yet. /j

This blog is SFW save for one swear word (x) and a light kiss (x). I don't engage in slash fiction. You won't find that content here.

My asks are open. Feel free to send in!

If we're mutuals and I haven't messaged you, don't take it personally. I'm just trying to summon the courage to talk.

shoutout to my middle school computer teacher Mr Fleetwood. sorry I insisted on calling you "Fleetwood iMac" but in my defense it was clearly funny

[thewalrusespublicist]

Struggling to articulate it but the skepticism surrounding the genuineness of Paul's sustained grief for John and it's intensity makes me think about how we underestimate the human capacity for love and conversely perhaps overestimate the capacity to move on from things or people.

Regardless of anything else: John was a soulmate to him, John was violently murdered in the street. That is enough. That is more than enough.

.. so this is basically what happened in my canon

[griqweed]

Okay so I’m reading a book of all of John’s letters and near every letter is a typed up version for if you can’t read his handwriting, and it makes John’s letters to Cynthia look like shitposts

Paul's new guitarist in wings being named denny laine is so funny to me. I think johns new bassist should have been Lawberry Fealdsforever

[morbiiraw]

au where the beatles flopped and they use their sgt peppers costumes to perform at kids birthday parties

[dragonbunny25]

The early Beatles promo videos are freaking hilarious. I love this moment where Paul remembers that for the playing to seem realistic he needs to actually pretend to change chords. And then his quick look to the camera afterwards and smug face is all like: "lol, no one will ever know".

But it's like, Paul, that quick look to the camera and that smug face of yours means we all know.

Meanwhile, John's desperately trying to remember if he should end this line with "yeah" or not. He'll struggle with this for the entire video.

John Lennon on sex and love

[mdsmn]

[ID: Gifset of 1970s John Lennon sitting cross-legged on the floor with a cigarette in his right hand. He is wearing a light blue dress shirt, jeans, and orange-tinted glasses. His sleeves are rolled up. He talks to someone off-screen.

The caption reads: I don't know who made the golden rule that sex and love have to go together, because I've enjoyed love without sex and sex without love, and they quite often come together, but quite often they don't. /End ID]

My prev post marked "potentially mature" is just a Bob Dylan gifset I reblogged. I don't know why the original has a content label.

I've seen a couple asks signed, "your favorite employee." What's that about?

Well, at first I thought it was Alastair, who may or may not be my favourite employee. Not that I should have a favourite. Anyway, then they had sent that horrid image. So now I'm not entirely sure.

[nezlvr]
