This is why fanfiction exists. For moments like this.

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

Understanding Lennon McCartney Rewatch Part 3.3

John having to get high out of his mind because he knows he's invited Paul to come play with him is so so sad. These are the same guys who used to sit facing each other on a bed playing guitars for hours, and now this is them?

Is John calling Paul “Jack Lemon” a reference to “some like it hot”? Because if so, I have questions. Anyway, when your estranged best friend shows up to hang out with you and a bunch of people, talking about being in love again and getting jizzed on is extremely normal and acceptable behavior.

This jam session is so fucking painful though. Paul's doing his best to just push through and get them to actually play something and John's just too far gone.

My theory: there's two reasons he did this. 1. He's avoidant and the last thing he's going to do is let on how bad he needs John in his life and how scared he is that if John gets back with Yoko that that'll be difficult. And 2. He couldn't live with himself if he didn't. If he'd kept it from John that Yoko wanted him back and later John cried to him about how much he missed Yoko or something? Paul can't have that.

John singing a snatch of Yesterday before a take of “Whatever gets you through the Night”??? Did either of them ever write a song where they weren't thinking about the other? Did they ever have a minute of peace without the other rattling the bars of the cage in his brain?

“Hold me Darling, come on, listen to me. I won't do you no harm.” Duh it's about Paul. Oh my gosh.

And with Bless You I'm always so torn. There are so many obvious references to Paul which the doc points out beautifully, but situationally it could also be about Yoko. Maybe it's about both of them in the same way that don't let me down is about both of them.

Anyway the cosmic visuals are gorgeous.

Why'd you have to phrase it like that though? Twice?

Hall of Fame moment. It's a high point for him career-wise and he chose to pull Paul into his spotlight. Not only to sing Paul's song, not only to name-drop him, but to publicly call him an official romantic title. Not “boyfriend” or “ex-wife” which both could've been much more mocking if that's what he was trying to do. But “fiance”. It's official and respected, but it's still got the lustful, unsettled, connotation that something like “husband” lacks.

Johann Weener, everyone. What a loser.

Everyone who still refers to Lennon Remembers like it's the fucking Bible listen to this. It doesn't go on for the next five years, let alone fifty.

John refusing to walk to blocks to sign the papers when George and Paul flew over the ocean. And only on the basis of astrology. He really didn't want the divorce. My heart aches for him. But he made his bed as they say.

I'm putting on my tinfoil hat again here, but I do just have to point out that one of John's first songs, “Hello, Little Girl,” has a line that goes, “you never seem to see me standing there”. And the earliest draft of WISHST, which was started soon after, answers that line. “I saw you standing there.” (Yes, it said you originally, not her). So maybe. Just maybe. That song wasn't just a Paul song, but a song that John knew Paul had put a message in for him. Okay, I apologize for the insanity. On another note, I do wonder if he ever found out what Paul thought of that.

Interviewer: ≈ at this point, do you like writing by yourself, or do you want to write with Paul again?≈ John: ≈well it's a bit of both. It's the same for Paul. We were talking about it a week ago. Okay, cool. So they definitely talked openly and honestly about potentially writing together again.

John, about their partnership, “There was always the feeling that someone was there if you needed it.” Paired with the gayest picture ever taken and then Paul singing “if I can do anything at all, let me help.” Thanks. I hate it.

John was so excited for New Orleans! What happened? I mean I have my theory based on May's book and the sudden shift in behavior. But it's pretty dark.

You know how crazy Paul is about John in interviews now? How he can't seem to keep John's name out of his mouth? John was worse in the seventies. He's promoting his Rock’n’Roll album, talking unprompted and romantically about how he met Paul, when the interviewer reminds him what relationship he's supposed to be romanticizing right now. So John remembers too and dedicates the album to Yoko who he's just got back together with.

Biconic quote.

Interviewer asks, after John's brought him up, if John's pleased with how well Paul's doing. John expresses his relief that Ringo has "found himself a niche" and then

I really do think that last bit sums up a big chunk of how John feels about Paul, and why he feels alright playing dirty against Paul or slagging Paul off. Why it would have been the furthest thing from his mind that Paul actually struggled or was insecure. Why Paul had to remind him, “I'm only a person like you, love.”

What an insane thing to think, let alone say. What if Julian had heard that? I'm pretty sure Julian and Paul weren't in contact, really at all, until the eighties, right? So John's doing better than he is at this point (I mean he's his dad, he should be). John is insecure about every possible thing and compares himself to Paul in every possible way.

Baby. He needed some serious help. The thing that sucks about being ahead of your time is that you also have to live in a world that's behind your needs.

And then. “There's always a friendly tv channel to turn to that's going to make you feel less alone.” I wonder if Paul “Call Me Back Again, John I know you're not that tired from the baby just let me in the fucking door” McCartney heard this? It's possible with how obsessive they were, but it's also impossible with how busy he kept himself.

Okay, here's the first story we've been missing about Paul experiencing negative emotions. And, of course, as always in this doc, it's paired perfectly with “Don't Let it Bring you Down” which is the musical mission statement of Paul's clenched-jawed smile philosophy.

"I tend to get a bit absolute in my statements." Yes, John. Yes you do. Another quote that Big Lennon fans should keep in mind.

John on the three weeks he took to decide if he wanted to continue the band after the first Hamburg trip: The others were mad because we could've been making money. Yeah, John, Paul suddenly had to work in a factory after he'd thrown away an educated, white-collar career (the first in his family) to be in your band. I'd be pissed too if you just didn't even bother to call. Anyway I just hate how casual John is about it. Someone who never had to worry about money is just never going to get that.

John doesn't even remember a ballpark number of how much they were making. Paul remembers exactly bragging to his professors that he was making fifteen a week in Hamburg. Sorry to go on and on about this right before Paris, but to me it's an important difference between them.

Anyway, the fact that Paris was more than just a vacation for them. The fact that – according to Stuart and John at least – they might not have come back. It's dizzying. They really thought about just running off together. I wonder what made them decide to come back and continue the band.

No offense if you do, but I don't personally believe in this stuff. What would the motivation have been for the tarot reader to tell him that? Either way, fuck him.

Gosh the live version of “Call Me Back Again”. You feel it, physically, how bad he wants this phonecall. And the desperation from such a successful man is fantastic. Literally, John, how did it feel to be the only man in the world that could get Paul McCartney to beg? “Pretty baby” “what can I do?” “Boohoohoo babe.” “I tried the operator, but I just can't get through.”

Reporter at the Wings over America tour: No John Lennon, no George Harrison, and no Ringo Starr, just Paul McCartney. And for everyone here tonight, that seemed to be plenty! Obviously he's loving this praise after all the negative press. Anyone would, and Paul needs it more than most people actually. But I bet part of him is like “stop. Don't say it like that, they already hate me enough as it is.”

How many times has John admitted that he finds Paul attractive? “It was no surprise, you know, when the kids – girls saw him, they go ‘ooh! Ooh!’ right away, you know?”

“I know it's true. It's all because of you.” Playing over this? Are you kidding me? Anyway I've never seen the picture version of this, so I thought I'd screenshot it.

But actually, in a way, the original written lyrics to Now and Then are less depressing than what he sang on the demo. “I know it's true, I'm still in love with you, and if I make it through, it's all because of you,” is obviously sad because they're both married to other people. But at least in that version, John's saying his own personal resilience to life's struggles comes from his relationship with Paul, which is nice. Whereas when John, who is sliding into a self-hating deep depression I'm comparing himself to Paul's phenomenal success, sings “it's all because of you” in a general sense, it almost feels like a callback to the ‘I'm shit and I couldn't do anything but be a Beatle (and ride Paul's boat)’ quote. Which is heartbreaking. I wish he could've recognized his own genius.

But yeah either way it's enough to make your heart heavy. If anyone needs a good cry, just go to the last five minutes of this. That should've been the now and then music video, but Paul's too scared of feelings. Which. You know. Considering how much it affects me, I can't even imagine how much it affects him. So he gets a pass.

“Why must we be alone? It's real love. It's real.”

i do feel like no one plays cosmic, unbounded entities like aabria. she's got such an ability to scale her energy up and down as needed. like, from a writing perspective it is incredibly difficult to pull off "the repository of empirical truth/unknowably ancient/omniscient" characters because we are ultimately limited by the boundaries of our own perception as human beings. there are so many god or godlike beings i have encountered in fiction that reflect those limitations to a degree that you kinda have to suspend your disbelief a little harder. like yeah, of course this random fantasy writer may not have the most satisfying answer to actual existential questions one might ask a god, but we don't examine it too much if the rest of the story is good.

aabria is making it look ✨effortless✨

the fey in acofaf, the way she moved her body as dragon!antiope in the seven, the way she talked about the blue in burrow's end, and now narrating a character's afterlife experience and the qohlye in mismag 2. hall of fame conception and performance.

Michael Whelan is one of the most important contemporary science fiction and fantasy artists, and certainly the most popular. His work was a dominant force in the transition of genre book covers away from the surrealism introduced in the 1950s and 1960s back to realism.

His paintings have appeared on the covers of more than 350 books and magazines, including many Stephen King novels, most of the Del Rey editions of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series, Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series, the Del Rey edition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars series, Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince and Dragon Star series, the Del Rey editions of H. P. Lovecraft's short story collections, the Grand Master edition of Ray Bradbury's fix-up novel The Martian Chronicles, DAW editions of Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné books, numerous DAW editions of C. J. Cherryh's work, many of Robert A. Heinlein's novels including Friday and The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, the Ace editions of H. Beam Piper's Fuzzy novels, and Tad Williams's Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, Otherland, and Shadowmarch series and Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive. Whelan provided covers and interior illustrations for Stephen King's The Gunslinger and The Dark Tower, the first and last of his Dark Tower books.

Cover art by Michael Whelan has graced many music record albums including Demolition Hammer's Epidemic of Violence, The Jacksons' Victory; Sepultura's Beneath the Remains, Arise, Chaos A.D. and Roots; Soulfly's Dark Ages; Obituary's Cause of Death; and every album by the Elric-influenced metal band Cirith Ungol. He painted original works for the covers of Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell and The Very Best of Meat Loaf albums and several of his older paintings illustrate the liner notes of the former. In 2009, he painted the cover art for thrash metal band Evile's album Infected Nations.

Mind Control In the Wild #2: Prince of Darkness

Hotness: 2 Context: 4 Creativity: 3 Final Score: 2.78

Watch this scene here. You can rent or buy Prince of Darkness on Amazon.

You might have seen a clip from this one floating around Youtube as a 240p video with a name like "Female Posession 11" (searching random clips of mind control scenes is a rite of passage for hypnofetishists around the world). Prince of Darkness is a profoundly strange and creepy movie that stands out as one of the more underrated films in John Carpenter's filmography. Since Carpenter is the namesake for my own Carpenter State University, it felt appropriate to cover this one.

In Prince of Darkness, Carpenter blends science fiction themes into biblical myth and the product is a cosmic horror story where Jesus Christ was an alien, Satan is a tank of mind controlling goo, and its followers seek to summon an even more powerful apocalypse god from a mirror dimension. Also Alice Cooper commands an army of zombie homeless people. Carpenter is absolutely cooking here.

All of the action takes place in a Catholic monastery in Los Angeles. For Carpenter, it's a return to smaller, less studio-supported filmmaking. The closed setting kind of gives it an "Assault on Precinct 13 but with zombies" vibe. A group of scientists go to the monastery to research a mysterious tank of seemingly sentient goo that a priest discovered in the basement. The scientists quickly learn that the goo is the literal anti-Christ. While alone in the basement, Susan (played by character actor Anne Marie Howard) is summoned before the tank of goo. A jet of liquid suddenly sprays from the tank into her mouth, making her its first convert.

After that, Susan stalks through the monastery converting her fellow scientists in a stretch that includes some absolute hall of fame mind control acting from Howard. If you dig cosmic horror in your mind control stories, there's great content here.

The next to be converted is Lisa, who awakens to find Susan crawling over her in bed with wide, empty eyes. Lisa seems to misinterpret this as a sexual advance, but before she can protest, another jet of liquid shoots out of Susan's mouth and slides down Lisa's throat.

There's this great moment where another scientist finds Lisa repeatedly typing, "I Live!" before Susan pounces from the corner.

The thing is that these scenes are better mind control fetish content as short clips on Youtube than within the greater context of the film. It's not like Ghostbusters where the possession is deliberately sexy and is ultimately a weird detour in a random week of Dana's life. In Prince of Darkness, the converted are essentially zombies, there's quite a bit of gore, and it's unambiguous that they die when the anti-Christ does, which is a bummer if you watch your movies based on how hot the mind control is. You probably shouldn't though, right?

Despite its mid score on the Subliminalbo Scale, this one has actually been really influential for my own smut which is why it was the second thing I thought of when I started this series. The transmission of a sentient mind controlling goo as a fluid from one person to another was a huge inspiration when I was developing Assimilation.

Carpenter explores mind control in quite a few of his movies (some even less sexy than here, like The Thing, which is not mind control but plays with similar tropes that at least makes it mind control adjacent). If you're looking for hot mind control in a John Carpenter movie, Big Trouble In Little China probably has the best example. Though it wasn't a direct influence on my manips, it features whitewash eyes which is pretty cool. The reason I'm talking about Prince of Darkness instead of Big Trouble In Little China is because the former's had a bigger impact on me as a writer (and the mind control in Big Trouble is comparatively brief and less impactful to the story).

It looks like a lot of Prince of Darkness clips have been taken down from Youtube since I was a weird kid starving for mind control content, but you can find the full scene of Susan's possession on there right now. If you're into cosmic horror, I definitely recommend the movie, but I wouldn't call it essential for someone who wants to see some hot mind control.

Nina Simone - Let It Be Me

“Stars”

Let It Be Me

1987

Simone first covered Janis Ian’s searing, mordant meditation on fame during her infamous set at the 1976 Montreux Jazz Festival; suffering from bipolar disorder, she goes through something like a mental breakdown during the performance. (The scene is a highlight of Liz Garbus’ Oscar-nominated documentary What Happened, Miss Simone?) This spine-tingling 1987 version—Simone’s best, most coherent rendition—was recorded live at Hollywood’s intimate Vine Street Bar & Grill for Let It Be Me.

Written by Ian when she was just 20, “Stars” is a potent critique of star-making machinery: The narrator is both a weary observer of fame, watching faded stars who live their lives in “sad cafés and music halls,” and a tragic figure undone by fame herself. Simone’s embittered, conversational phrasing transforms the song into a cosmically exhausted, stream-of-consciousness rant. She sounds so nakedly weary and afflicted with pathos, you worry she might not even make it to the last verse. But ultimately, Simone’s piano accompaniment builds to a rousing, show-must-go-on climax: “I’ll come up singing for you even though I’m down.” Break out the Kleenex: Few other songs in Simone’s arsenal can make you truly grasp the toll she paid for being alive and giving us her music. –Jason King

Listen: “Stars”

Here is our hall of fame for the run!! PurpBuddha the Hydreigon-Arbok actually ended up being the MVP overall, really stepped up against the Champion using Glare to spread paralysis, and enabling our slower team members to perform! Unfortunately, most of our team was lost in the fight, including PurpBuddha, and all we have left is Cosmic the Wigglytuff-Metagross, and Smokey Bear the Kingdra-Lucario surviving the onslaught. We could have easily gotten wiped in this fight, if it weren't for a few lucky crits and some lucky paralysis. His team was probably stronger than ours overall, and Gary's access to healing items made things brutal. I will post an in memorium for the lost members soon, and then look to rebuild!

#TheScrollOfThr12Keys

The Scroll of the 12 Keys: The Prophetic Blueprint of the MouseQuteers

The Scroll of the 12 Keys is a mysterious and esoteric document believed to be the foundational prophecy behind the creation of the MouseQuteers, the Secret Mouse Club, and the larger Disney cultural apparatus. Said to be housed within the Vatican Secret Archives and occasionally referenced in Freemason Grand Lodge documents, the Scroll is thought to have originated during the late medieval period, though some claim it is even older. It is seen as both a cosmic prophecy and a divine directive.

This scroll is considered to be a "map of destiny" for the entertainment industry, aristocracy, and global diplomacy. It outlines the rise of 12 distinct bloodlines who would control not just entertainment media but also elements of cultural influence, power, and nobility. The concept of American Royalty stems directly from this scroll, with specific guidelines for how certain individuals (later "MouseQuteers") would be "chosen by fate" to play key roles in the grand cosmic play.

The Origins of the Scroll

The Hidden Manuscript

The Scroll of the 12 Keys is said to have been written by a secret sect of Templar scribes during the 13th century. The story goes that, during the Siege of Acre in 1291, certain high-ranking Templars fled the Holy Land with sacred relics. Among them was a mysterious golden key said to unlock a series of scrolls detailing the future of power, influence, and art. These Templars later formed a secret order known as The Custodians of the 12 Lights, and they hid the scrolls within the Vaults of the Vatican.

By the 16th century, certain knowledge of these scrolls had leaked into the Renaissance elite. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and secret societies like the Rosicrucians were aware of its existence. Many believe that da Vinci’s sketches of “The Vitruvian Man” were inspired by geometric patterns seen in the Scroll of the 12 Keys.

The 12 Keys: Prophecies and Their Meanings

The Scroll is divided into 12 prophecies (or "Keys"), each linked to a symbol, figure, and prophecy. Every key has a corresponding individual or archetype it represents. Here’s a breakdown of the 12 Keys and their significance in the context of the MouseQuteer Order.

Key 1: The Key of the Lion (The Golden Prodigy)

Symbol: A crowned lion holding a mirror. Prophecy: "A child of gold shall rise, crowned before the people, to be beloved, broken, and reborn." Role in the Order: This Key symbolizes the MouseQuteer "chosen prodigy" — someone meant to be "The Face of the Order". This figure is destined for great fame but must endure a public "fall from grace" before reclaiming their royal status. This arc is seen in figures like:

Britney Spears (Innocence → Breakdown → Redemption)

Justin Bieber (Golden Boy → Controversy → Return)

Miley Cyrus (Disney Darling → Rebellion → Rebirth)

Notable Traits:

Often subject to "media crucifixion" in order to undergo "symbolic death and rebirth."

Known to have a major comeback moment where they reclaim public adoration.

Key 2: The Key of the Twins (The Dual Flames)

Symbol: Two identical stars encircled by a single crown. Prophecy: "Where two lights shine as one, balance is restored to the kingdom." Role in the Order: This Key represents the concept of "Twin Flames", two figures who operate in harmony (or sometimes in opposition) to bring balance. It can refer to literal twins or symbolic twins. Notable Figures:

Chloe and Halle Bailey (literal twins in the prophecy)

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (the archetypal twin-child stars)

Beyoncé and Solange (not twins by birth, but twin flames of artistic and cultural influence)

Notable Traits:

This role requires perfect synergy between two individuals who often share a creative or emotional bond.

Their presence is symbolic of harmony between light and shadow.

Key 3: The Key of the Moon (The Oracle of the Hidden Court)

Symbol: A crescent moon above an open book. Prophecy: "She who sees from the shadows shall know all, but none shall see her." Role in the Order: This prophecy refers to the "Secret Court" of Division C, the invisible architects behind public figures. This Key represents shadow figures, ghostwriters, and secret masterminds who shape pop culture without appearing in front of the camera. Notable Figures:

Ayesha Erotica (music producer, ghostwriter, and unseen force in pop music)

Kim Kardashian (her status as a “distraction queen” hides her role as a hidden architect of influence)

Notable Traits:

These figures remain out of the spotlight but wield immense power.

Ghostwriting, secret production, and covert manipulation are their key tools.

Key 4: The Key of the Siren (The Voice of Enchantment)

Symbol: A singing mermaid with outstretched arms. Prophecy: "The Siren’s voice will soothe the storm, but she must never lose her song." Role in the Order: This role signifies singers whose voices captivate and control the masses. Notable Figures:

Ariana Grande (enchants with her unique vocal range)

Selena Gomez (siren-like ethereal vocal presence)

Key 5: The Key of the Raven (The Seer of Truth)

Symbol: A black raven perched on a key. Prophecy: "One born from the night shall reveal the unseen." Role in the Order: This represents the “whistleblower” archetype — those who see and speak uncomfortable truths. Notable Figures:

Brittany Murphy (rumored to have uncovered secrets before her death)

Bambi Prescott (her journalistic ambition aligns with this prophecy)

Key 6: The Key of the Phoenix (The Eternal Flame)

Symbol: A phoenix rising from flames. Prophecy: "One who burns shall rise again, thrice reborn in flame." Role in the Order: This Key represents the "Icon of Eternal Comeback." Notable Figures:

Britney Spears (her symbolic "rebirth" after her public breakdown)

Lindsay Lohan (constant cycles of rebirth)

The Other Keys (7-12)

Key 7: The Key of the Fox (The Trickster) – Linked to entertainers who challenge norms, e.g., Paris Hilton.

Key 8: The Key of the Crown (The Eternal Ruler) – Represents figures like Beyoncé.

Key 9: The Key of the Mask (The Hidden Heir) – Represents secret heirs and anonymous influencers.

Key 10: The Key of the Dove (The Peacemaker) – Represents figures who mediate between warring factions, like Zendaya.

Key 11: The Key of the Flame (The Pure Destroyer) – Represents chaos bringers like Kanye West.

Key 12: The Key of the Star (The Guiding Light) – Represents "The Supreme" (a once-in-a-generation figure like Michael Jackson).

The Rituals and Selection of MouseQuteers

Children are "scouted" from birth to see if they fulfill any of the 12 Keys. Birthdates, astrological alignments, and genetic bloodlines are analyzed. Once chosen, they enter The Mouse Initiation, a symbolic "Baptism of Light" where they're sworn to secrecy. Their rise is guided by handlers (Division B members) who ensure they stay on their fated path.

Conclusion

The Scroll of the 12 Keys is not just a prophecy but a blueprint for control, fame, and power. It predicts the rise, fall, and eventual return of certain figures, and through each "key," a specific archetype of cultural dominance is maintained. Disney didn’t create royalty — it revealed it. The MouseQuteers are not mere celebrities but pawns in a grand cosmic and diplomatic chess game spanning centuries.

In the neon-bathed dressing room of the Galactic Opera House, Zara the Intergalactic Diva was getting ready for her most challenging performance yet. Her sapphire-blue eyes, as deep as the abysses of her home planet, Thalassia, reflected both determination and a hint of nerves.

Tonight's opera was not just any opera. It was the legendary "Cosmic Callas," a performance that required not just impeccable vocal prowess but also an expression of emotions unknown to humans. And Zara, with her silver-toned skin and an uncanny ability to emote across spectrums unseen by the naked eye, was the only one capable of such a feat.

As she applied her glittering crimson lipstick, a gift from the matriarchs of the Red Nebula, Zara's mind was adrift in the music she was about to unleash. Each note was to be infused with the starlight of her soul, each gesture a dance of the cosmos itself.

Surrounded by a trove of cosmic makeup, her dressing table was a testament to the convergence of culture and species from across the galaxy—each vial and brush a souvenir from her travels and performances on distant worlds. Her dressing mirror, an artifact that not only reflected her image but also peered into the essence of her being, assured her that tonight, she was not merely a performer but a bridge between the worlds.

As she donned her costume, a fabric woven from the silk of comet trails, she knew that the audience beyond the velvet curtains was as diverse as the universe itself. Entities of pure energy, envoys from civilizations dwelling in black holes, time-warping beings—they all had come to witness the Diva who could sing the frequencies of creation and destruction alike.

Zara lifted her finger, now sparkling with stardust, and pointed it towards the mirror. It was a silent promise to herself. She would sing not just for fame or acclaim, but to unite the myriad forms of life in the shared language of art.

The lights dimmed, the first note of the orchestra vibrated through the air, and Zara stepped out. As her voice soared through the grand hall, a hush fell over the crowd. For a moment, as her alien melody transcended space and time, all of the universe seemed to listen, breathe, and harmonize with Zara, the Diva of the stars.
