Deeply sorry (not really though) to say this but there is no way in hell EA told Bioware to put all the stupid shit they put into their stupid game or interfered to the extent that the game has all these aggressive flaws because EA.

What do you think of people saying that John had an eating disorder? The First time i came across This i didnt think much. I remember that Yoko addressed This in Interview and negated the claim. But them there is Elliot casually commenting on John use of diet pills. But also, If he had an eating disorder other people would have Said something about his behavior.

T/W: eating disorder

Hi @dopebananadetective!

I think they’re 100% right.

The problem with male eating disorders is that they were not properly understood then and even now they get nowhere near the proper recognition. That means that people can observe the behaviours of an eating disorder but not realise what it is. But people did comment. May was horrified looking at him in the late 70s being all skin and bone, Robert Rosen in Nowhere Man talked about John’s obsession with weight, Seaman talked about their diet and Paul was angry when Yoko picked the healthiest option off the menu for John in the late 70s. Even back in the early 70s Paul’s critical in Too Many People of ‘too many people losing weight’. Who do you think that’s directed at? Yoko may say he didn’t have one but Yoko says lots of things that are incompatible with reality. Admitting John had one would also shine an unpleasant light onto to the fact that she probably also had an eating disorder and definitely encouraged him at his skinniest to look like that and encouraged him on his diet (this latter part isn’t speculation, she’s talked about it in interviews about how great he looked in 1980 as if it was a dual project). It’s not just one way either, John hiding her chocolates when pregnant spring to mind.

I don’t want to get into it too deeply but as someone whose had an eating disorder, John’s is visible from a mile off. It’s the excuse of just needing to lose that ‘extra five pounds’ at 135 pounds 5’10, his obsession with fat Elvis and his own ‘fat Elvis’ period, waxing lyrical about the highly controlled diet and that all his bones are visible despite not historically having that build. I’m similar to John in the fact that I’m not naturally stick thin. I know what it takes to get that skinny and keep it. It isn’t pretty.

If you know what you’re looking at, it’s as clear as day. Elliot to me was just another in a long line of people confirming what I could already tell from pictures alone.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon talking about the cover of Rubber Soul, The Beatles Anthology (1995)

Paul: And the cover story... you know that... the cover where we looked stretched, the photo's stretched... that was the kinda thing would happen then, which... we were all very into that kind of random, little exciting thing that would happen. The photographer was Bob Freeman and he'd taken some pictures round at John's house in Weybridge and we just had our new gear on, the polo necks, and we were doing straight mugshots, the four of us all posing. And he came... back in London he was, it was in someone's flat, and he was showing us, he had a little carousel of slides and he had a piece of cardboard stuck up on a little chair that was album cover sized, and he was projecting the photographs exactly on to it, cause you could imagine exactly how it would look then as an album cover... it was a kind of good way to do it. But just as he... we'd just chosen the photo, we said, well that one looks good... and we all liked, we all liked ourselves in one particular shot, and he was just winding up when the card it was on just fell backwards a little bit, and it elongated the photo and it stretched, and we went 'Oh!' we went, 'Can we have that! Can you do it like that?' and he said 'Well yeah, I can print it like that' and we said 'Yeah, that's it! Rubber soul! Hey-hey!' John: You see there's no great mysterious meanings behind all of this, it was just four boys, you know, working out what to call their new album

Stop saying that if Tony Stark were alive he'd be laughing at John Walker. He's been right there in the comics as a senior slowly teaching John to be a better hero.

Tony Stark doesn't laugh at John Walker, it's yourselves who want to laugh at John Walker. Don't think of pathetic ooc remarks an give the character away.

Even though everyone is pissed at John for being an asshole and wanting to kick him off the team, Stark is willing to give him another chance.

One of the first things Stark did after forming his new team was to implore Wanda to persuade John Walker to stay on the team.

After John Walker relaxed into the team, Stark was proud to tell Hank Pym that he hadn't been wrong about John

Even if you guys say that comics are comics and the MCU is the MCU.

The first person Stark would mock if he was alive would be Steve Rogers who abandoned his friends and went back to live in the past, not John Walker who worked hard to try and protect more people.

The MCU's Stark still tries to teach Wanda to be a hero after the way she's treated him and the Avengers (though maybe his tactics are more like restricting personal freedom).

Why would you guys think that Stark would taunt a very hard working soldier who was just pushed out by the US government to be a mascot, but accidentally wants to do real work to protect others so badly? Do you guys think Stark is some kind of crybaby tantrum kid who loses Steve Rogers?

Tony Stark doesn't laugh at John Walker, it's yourselves who want to laugh at John Walker. Don't think of pathetic ooc remarks an give the character away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN TAYLOR ‼️‼️‼️ HAVE AN AWESOME DAY GORGEOUS I LOVE YOU 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊

[yardsards]

going to other people's houses for dinner is wild because it's such a crapshoot on what kind of culinary experience you're about to have. some places it's just delightful and you feel like you're in that one scene in ratatouille where it's all colourful when he tastes the ingredients. other places it feels like whatever the fuck is on your plate is a close cousin of the pulp they use in paper manufacturing and you wish you had pulled a hillary clinton and smuggled some hot sauce in your bag

inspired by @deadpuppetboi's killer redesign of the Toymaker's original outfit (removing the problematic elements and capitalising on the literal 'celestial' theme), i wanted to say!!! if you are looking for a similarly bonkers reality-bending entity who wears kickass robes for inspiration, look no further than Q from Star Trek 👀

Hi! I hope you're doing well and having a lovely holiday season :)

Sorry if you've already talked about this before, I haven't been following you for a long time - but what do you think of the other series of JFSP apart from series 9?

Personally I love them to bits, I have listened to every episode more than 30 times and they're probably one of my favourite things in the whole world. I just love the humour, the characters, the situations - it feels very safe, no mean spirited jokes, very comforting. The sketches feels very autistic-coded to me as an autistic person, much like Martin from Cabin Pressure - some of the sketches are things I doubt a neurotypical person would notice or comment on from the angle he chooses. Like the geek sketch and the 'friend I'm in the mood for' sketch from series 5.

What are your thoughts on these series?

Thank you for asking, that’s an awesome question!

The basic answer is that I am, of course, a big fan. That said, I’d say that as much as I overall enjoy sketch comedy, I do tend to find it hit or miss; and while JFSP has a higher hit rate than most, and plenty of sketches are fantastic*, it definitely doesn’t get there ALL the time.

*Notable faves- Spooktacular, seashells, reincarnation/past lives, “Stop Saying G’nus,” tricyclist… there are loads and loads more, just off the top of my head! Not to mention the excellent ones you already cited…

The functional difference for me ends up being that while I don’t think there’s a 100% hit rate on Cabin Pressure or Double Acts either, I know that if I pick one episode that I like I will enjoy myself for a full half hour. Because I’m less familiar with a given episode of JFSP given how many there have been and how many sketches are in an episode, I don’t have that same sense of instant “ahhh” from turning on an episode of JFSP* as I would from the other two shows, where a lot of my emotions about it come from knowing it like the back of my hand.

*Major exception- S7E6. A perfect episode of sketch comedy that I can listen to literally whenever. No notes.

This isn’t to say that I don’t really enjoy JFSP! I just wish I could pick off a menu of sketches, not simply because I like some better than others but because I like the feeling of “oooh this” on demand that I get from turning on a favorite half hour episode. I will say- I find JFSP to be PERFECT for things like dental procedures and car trips, where I might be in the chair for anywhere from five minutes to two hours and can just turn on a bunch of sequential episodes for as long as I need. But it doesn’t necessarily have the same immediate impact for me as the episodes I love of the other shows.

That said- some of the best things JF ever wrote are Since You Asked Me sketches. I want them pumped into my veins.

Shadows of Fear: The Death Watcher (1.4, Thames, 1971)

"I should like to have danced with you first, you know. It may sound frivolous, but I mean it. There's a certain communication involved there. Have you noticed how some couples have a much more highly developed intuition? They dance as one. There is instinctive anticipation. I used to be very good at ballroom dancing. These are my trophies. Once, I reached the county finals with a girl. Her name was Beryl Harcourt. We were completely in sympathy, you see. That's why I made her the subject of my first experiment. After she'd... gone, I used to play the gramophone in my bedroom for hours on end. We used to do a speciality tango. There's a lot of jealousy and backbiting in those competitions, you know."

just because the reason George didn’t want to do the song in the 90s was because of the tape quality (still somewhat debatable) doesn’t mean everything is automatically alright now and that he would have wanted the song released now and done this way

I am holding up. Well.
