"I've had a lot of time to think," said John peering at me through his wire-rimmed specs, "and only now am I beginning to realise many of the things I should have known years ago. I'm getting to understand my own feelings. Don't forget that under this frilly shirt is a hundred-year-old man who's seen and done so much — but at the same time knowing so little."

Dinner with the Beatles New Musical Express | 27 May 1967

it ' s a bloomin ' lovely night to do bugger all , isn ' t it ?

❛ we ’ ve had our fair share of magic moments , tha ’ for sure . ❜ john replies , a nostalgic glimmer in his eyes . ❛ sometimes , being a little recalcitrant is what keeps the creative flame burning . ❜ her head reclines down , bringing her wrist up . afterwards , he looks at his watch briefly . ❛ don ’ worry ’ bout the others . we all ’ ave a relaxed schedule ’ere . take your time . take a seat , enjoy the atmosphere . do what you want , damn . ❜ a brief laughing smile curves on her lips , showing her teeth . ❛ by the way , ❜ john adds , leaning closer . ❛ don ’ be afraid to ask questions or share yer thoughts . we ’ re all ’ere to create and enjoy music together .. ’ s not every day we ’ ave someone like you around , witnessing the process firsthand . ❜ with that , john pats him on the shoulder . he lets out a light sigh , before heading towards the studio .

he gathers at the edge of his seat, clinging to lennon’s wisdom; there’s a youthful mischief etched into the lines of twenty-one year old syd’s face that may demonstrate just how true it was in his own case. he preferred the dusk of the underground scene for the freedom it gave, resented the daytime of the pop industry for the limitations to that freedom. far too much sun at the top. ❛ very . . . cool of you. i happen to agree with you, actually. i only wish others did. ❜

he nods like an obedient child before cracking into a wry grin at lennon’s command, gaze plummeting to the ground. then, crown of his head bending, gravitating toward his nearing idol, syd’s eyes lighten in a mooning look of childlike wonder as though awaiting a mystical secret from the maker himself. ❛—-oh yes, certainly. questions, mainly. probly a bit over-curious at times, one might say. . . ❜

he watches lennon walk off, hands to hips, skulking in the corner for a moment longer before he perks with a question. and before he can mull it all over, he's beginning again. ❛ oh, mister lennon—— ❜ after a beat, continuing with a shy smirk, ❛ . . . sir—— i’m sorry, i’m not sure what to call you. but i - i actually did have a question . . .❜

his attention turns to the opposite , casting a hint of amusement in his eyes through his round glasses . lennon takes a step closer , offering a warm smile before answering . ❛ well , syd , you can call me john . no need for formalities ' ere . ❜ his voice has a soft tone , trying to reassure him . ❛ i ' ve always been a fan of curiosity . it keeps things interesting , ya know ? ❜ he makes a small gesture to the contrary for him to go ahead and ask his question , while lennon already does it with his relaxed but still attentive posture . he leans in slightly , his eyes sparkling with anticipation . ❛ what ' s on your mind ? ❜

❛ you're right .. it will eventually catch up sooner or later , but still- i deserve a break. when will it be my turn for once? ❜

❛ your turn will come . it ' s essential to prioritize self - care amidst life ' s demands .. so go ahead . take that well - deserved break and rejuvenate . you ' ve earned it . ❜

John Lennon - Penny Lane (1967)

“bend, little willow

wind's going to blow

you hard and

cold tonight

life, as it happens

nobody warns you,

willow, hold on tight”

- from paul mccartney's song about maureen cox, called little willow

MAUREEN COX . . .

she was a shy girl with a unique talent in cosmetology. using scissors, she formed her art on a client's head. it was pretty damn good in her opinion. and despite her timid manner often presented in her work environment, she would always find a way to voice her opinion to the world .. sarcastically, of course. her style was dark and bleak, but it was so perfectly feminine and ethereal.

she was maureen cox, the little willow, the epitome of beauty.

ADMIN INFO ..

alice, seventeen, they/them. account is 16+ due to nsfw themes. interacts with every verse, era, and character. soft block if need be!

CHARACTER INFO ..

an original portrayal of maureen cox. single-ship, unreserved. will not ship with anyone younger than sixteen or older than eighteen. is typically portrayed in the sixties to seventies era. age is flexible within these eras. portrayal primarily focuses on maureen herself and how she might've been had we seen more of her life. the goal is to convey her loveliness and even her flaws, to introduce readers to the little willow herself.

admin note .. this pinned was inspired by @fantasmaqoria and their lovely, stunning post. I LOVE YOU,, MWAH!

consider this to be a roleplay/shitposting/appreciation page for the lovely mo. i adore her so much and i really want everyone to know more about the lovely woman. i know way too much (i've been hyperfixated) and i think everyone else should know more about her too.

never be afraid to interact!! i don't bite .. much. regardless, i love all sorts of interactions and appreciate any sort of support from you lovely people. it means a lot.

anywho, let me end this now! mwah.

love, alice.

❛ why would you do tha ’ ? ❜

@janieasher : ❛ i don ' t know how you do it . if it were me , i don ' t think i ' d have been able to get out of bed today . ❜

❝ Is that so? Well, you see, when you have been in the field almost all your life with infinite gatherings, engaged itinerary and perennial activities to involve yourself with, your body becomes your 𝒐𝒘𝒏 clock every morning— including weekends!❞

❛ i guess ’ s a combination of habit and a built-in coping mechanism . my work and personal responsibilities took up most of me time , and weekends were often just an extension of me daily activities .. it is curious how our body adapts and becomes an internal clock . ❜

❝Isn’t it, lunatic even how we are so adaptable yet we seem to be always afraid of change? I am certain that, with the uproar of the swinging sixties and everything slithering betwixt the shift of psychedelia, the world is spinning swiftly, which provokes an urge of us to sprint around and become some breed of robot! I am definitely, pushing myself and Paul to have time for ourselves as human beings during weekends away of the city.❞

he leaned back , letting his hands gesture animatedly .. as if tracing the swirling patterns of an ethereal kaleidoscope . ❛ the swinging sixties .. oh , what an era ! ❜ a mischievous grin curled upon john ’ s lips as he emphasized his point . ❛ the world spun on the axis of psychedelia , and we were caught in the whirlwind of it ’ s kaleidoscopic embrace . ❜ his eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion , a sense of longing and determination filled the air as john ’ s words hung delicately between them . ❛ i believe tha ’ it is in those moments of reflection and solitude tha ’ we rediscover our true essence . our capacity for creativity and our ability to navigate the ever-changing world with purpose and authenticity . only then , can we simultaneously embrace change without sacrificing o͟u͟r͟ humanity and becoming mere automatons ? ❜ he concluded , turning his attention to his companion . ❛ you will see tha ’ everything will turn out as you plan it . ❜

❛ ah , well , that norman fella always did have a knack for keeping things in order , ❜ john chuckles lightly . ❛ but i ’ m glad you ’ re here to witness the magic , my friend .. it ’ s you lot that make it all worthwhile . ❜ he gestures toward the recording studio where the rest of the band is setting up their instruments . ❛ we ’ re about to get started . feel free to find a spot where you can enjoy the music . and , hey , if you want to stick around after the recording , we can have a chat . ❜ john offers the man a big smile at the corner of his lips , showing that , despite his status , he likes to be a little approachable , but above all .. to keep his feet on the ground .

syd huffs a chuckle at lennon's astute observation. ❛ yes . . . most things, anyway. ❜ he agrees sheepishly, hoping it didn't sound nearly as wry as he intended---- it's only that norman and syd were constantly at odds; norman finding syd to be 'recalcitrant', syd in turning finding norman to be too restrictive. too orderly.

but god, this lennon fellow--- quite a lot like a holiday character, isn't he? there’s a glint of childlike wonder that eclipses young syd’s pupils. the magic! ❛ that's a lovely thing to say, really. you've done quite a lot for us, actually . . . we admire you a great deal, what you're doing; pulling rabbits from our ears, i s'pose. ❜

❛ certainly, i'd like that very much—— uh, the other blokes, they'll be here shortly i imagine, i’m . . . sorry ‘bout that . . .❜ syd wasn't used to being the first to arrive anywhere, certainly not to the recording studio these days. . . but this was the beatles!

❛ we ’ ve had our fair share of magic moments , tha ’ for sure . ❜ john replies , a nostalgic glimmer in his eyes . ❛ sometimes , being a little recalcitrant is what keeps the creative flame burning . ❜ her head reclines down , bringing her wrist up . afterwards , he looks at his watch briefly . ❛ don ’ worry ’ bout the others . we all ’ ave a relaxed schedule ’ere . take your time . take a seat , enjoy the atmosphere . do what you want , damn . ❜ a brief laughing smile curves on her lips , showing her teeth . ❛ by the way , ❜ john adds , leaning closer . ❛ don ’ be afraid to ask questions or share yer thoughts . we ’ re all ’ere to create and enjoy music together .. ’ s not every day we ’ ave someone like you around , witnessing the process firsthand . ❜ with that , john pats him on the shoulder . he lets out a light sigh , before heading towards the studio .

@larfingmadcap : ❛ is there anything you need ? anything i can do for you ? ❜

you’ll have to excuse him for gaping, but he can hardly believe he’s talking to a beatle! never mind the fact that he’s been granted a limited opportunity to personally witness them record. the rise to pop stardom did have its perks after all, it seemed.

of course, he’s not entirely certain if lennon is altogether serious in his asking, or if he’s even addressing syd at all. hardly seemed likely he’d be allowed back here only to be dutifully doted on by one of his idols. still, he shakes his head politely, if not incredulously, ❛ uh—- no, no—- thank you, norman was . . . rather transparent about the fact that we were to stay out of the way entirely. ❜ after an awkward beat, he adds sincerely, ❛ —-but we’re all particularly grateful for the opportunity to hear you play . . . ❜

❛ ah , well , that ‘ norman ’ fella always did have a knack for keeping things in order , ❜ john chuckles lightly . ❛ but i ’ m glad you ’ re here to witness the magic , my friend .. it ’ s you lot that make it all worthwhile . ❜ he gestures toward the recording studio where the rest of the band is setting up their instruments . ❛ we ’ re about to get started . feel free to find a spot where you can enjoy the music . and , hey , if you want to stick around after the recording , we can have a chat . ❜ john offers the man a big smile at the corner of his lips , showing that , despite his status , he likes to be a little approachable , but above all ( .. ) to keep his feet on the ground .
