Ever since I saw your post about how Paul is a Slytherin I laugh when I see a sorting post that has Paul as a Gryffindor and John as a Slytherin... like

THEN I HAVE DONE MY JOB.

I find it fucking laughable. Like.. Paul "nominated for a grammy in every decade since the 1960s" McCartney?.. NOT a Slytherin?? Paul "invented the concept album when he pitched Sgt Peppers, invented heavy metal when he wrote Helter Skelter out of competitive spite, played every instrument on his debut solo album because fuck every single one of you for making me depend on your collaboration and then breaking up this band" McCartney... is NOT a Slytherin?

And similarly.. John "I'll kick your ass, I'll kick everyone's ass, I'll kick my own ass.. FOR PEACE!!" Lennon is.. not a Gryffindor? Okay.

You have to laugh.

Like I'm reluctant to necessarily assign Shakespearean tragedy arcs to real people, but it's so tempting to look at the trajectory of John's relationship with Paul and describe it as how his own fear of Paul realizing he's too good for him and going off on his own became a self-fulfilling prophecy, what with the abuse John heaped on him in an attempt to prevent it from happening

You’re not really far off, honestly. If it’s not a tragedy arc, it’s certainly a psychological one, considering we, as humans, tend to lead ourselves straight into what we’ve been trying to avoid. Sadly, that’s a common trait for people with mental illness, especially an untreated one. I’m not a mental health professional so I can only speak from my personal experience, as well as from a very subjective point of view, but John to me has always been a classic example of a person who should have gone to therapy (and not that screaming nonsense he’s been doing). I know you sent this after that post talking about John insulting Paul’s song for everyone to hear after the rehearsal before the first Yesterday performance, and if that isn’t a classic example of projecting one’s insecurities and fears to make yourself feel better while damaging one of the crucial relationships of your life, then I don’t know what is. And to be honest, John wasn’t really the only one who did it, they all had their fair share of trying to avoid a mess while creating another. It’s what I’ve always felt was one of very prevalent themes in the Beatles’ mythology.

Poor Julian!

Yeah! I feel very sorry for him and also for Cynthia, who raised him by herself! Every time I read about him I dislike John a little more... I know he wasn't ready to be a father when Julian was born, but still...

1, 4, 9

1 and 4 I’ve answered here  but I’m gonna add that Cherik really opened my mind to fictional gun kinks. HOLY MOLEY!! 

9: Who would you rather join – Prof. X or Magneto?

As much as I identify with Erik on a personal level, we disagree on the radicalism and the genocidal tendencies. I’m all for change but I’m also an historian and know that change needs time and that violent overhauls never lead to anything good. Charles is far from being a pacifist who rolls on his back every time he’s confronted with adversary (the X-men are a paramilitary organisation ffs) and he gets that to make things better in the long term, you have to work with the majority. Or just plain work them. Manipulate them, trick them, spread knowledge and acceptance among the younger generations until they see that you’re right. So yeah, I’d definitely follow Charles even if it’s the more painful and frustrating way at first.

BUTT! I actually didn't notice James' butt in that gifset because of his scenery chewing but DAMN

Anne, lemme tell you. If there is even the SLIGHTEST chance I’ll be able to look at James’s butt, my eyes are going to that part of the picture or gif. I live to see new footage of that boy’s behind. If someone made me a slideshow of his booty on an endless loop, I would waste away into nothing, forgetting to eat and drink, too captivated by his round firm bum to function.

Thank  you friends; I think I need to write a bit more to exorcise the plot bunny lol. At least get him to meet Charles and some of the others at the Manor yes? (And maybe just a taste of the kinky sex).
