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
#i can never think of this album without hearing paul going ‘rubber soul! hey-hey’#but you know what he’s right#they do all look great in that pic#and the stretching really makes it#plus the projecting it onto card idea is a really smart way to do it#in a world where albums where all about the physical object in the shop#not that they really needed to convince people to buy a beatles album#anyway I’m rambling#paul mccartney#john lennon#the beatles#rubber soul#the beatles anthology#audio and transcripts

they really 50/50’d the thunderbolts with characters i like and characters i couldn’t give less of a shit about
#i could go my entire life without seeing walker again#bc they completely fucked him up with the ending of fatws#evil captain america good great hes us agent for a reason but then they made him help bucky and sams debut as captain america#and i instantly lost interest#now hes just a self absorbed asshole character instead of a reflection of the us military and all its arrogance and faults#he always needs to believe whatever he does and thinks is best#having him stop and help sam and bucky after they were so against him completely ruins that#yelena? awesome#red guardian? awesome#bucky? im hesitant bc they keep fucking him over but inside im still 14 and still love bucky barnes so awesome#but does anyone care about ghost or taskmaster? bc i sure as shit dont#i sunno im probably not gonna watch it anyway but still#also directly comparing that shot of bucky blowing up the car to the one in tws just shows how badly colour graded thunderbolts is#it looks like a commercial#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#marvelous#thunderbolts#marvel#mcu#bucky barnes#yelena belova#red guardian#john walker#taskmaster#winter soldier

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
#eliot posts#like my friend john's house is great to visit for dinner bc his dad is an amazing cook#i will often leave that place with a recipe in my pocket#my friend jeffrey's house... that guy's family seem like they could be murdered by a single flake of parsley#he's an excellent friend and i love visiting him but i will sprinkle so much black pepper on my food at the dinner table#that if i did that in public i would probably get funny looks#my big sister is surprisingly good at cooking nowadays#she used to suck at it when we were younger#that time when she was like 16 and wanted us to do a few hannukah traditions to get in touch w our ashkenazim ancestors#and she made latkes so bad that it felt like a time-bending hate crime against our dead great grandparents#a lot of the cooking fell on my shoulders back when we both lived w our parents lol

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 👀
#Q's look here is a great example of how to do regal imposing dress on a sci-fi reality-bender without being culturally appropriative#given that lots of the Toymaker's canon appearances up until NPH have included Michael Gough's original outfit i'd love to see an update#one which removes the racism and makes the outfit more specific to the character#while i do love the new iconic 1920s Toymaker outfit i think he could look excellent in some gorgeous astronomical regalia!!#plus this is just a plug for Q in general. if you love the Toymaker you'll love Q dfgdsfgh#the toymaker#Q#the celestial toymaker#doctor who#star trek#star trek: the next generation#tng#john de lancie#starleskatalks

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.
#john walker#marvel#us agent#johnwalker#u.s.agent#john walker positive post#john walker defense squad#marvel 616#marvel mcu#tony stark#iron man#wanda maximoff#scarlet witch#Do you guys really think it's a great thing that Steve Rogers left his friends and his duties behind to go back in time and fall in love?#He casually threw his shield at Sam#He hadn't thought about how much pressure Sam was under#If I had to say who caused John Walker's appearance#Just look at the Steve Rogers who suddenly handed Sam the shield without warning#The person MCU Tony Stark should be mocking most is MCU Steve Rogers#Don't fucking ooc characters with your stupid brains#John Walker is a good character#you just don't want to admit it.#You're projecting your hatred onto other characters in the delusion that they're as stupid as you are

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."
#shadows of fear#the death watcher#1971#single play#horror tv#classic tv#thames#jacques gillies#peter duguid#john neville#judy parfitt#victor maddern#michael hawkins#george hagan#daphne oxenford#ann way#perhaps (if memory serves) (and it doesn't always) the closest this series comes to dipping a toe into the supernatural; but only a pinky#toe and only very very slightly. the plot is relatively old hat: a slightly mad student of ghosties and whatnot decides to test a theory#about communicating beyond the grave‚ unfortunately involving the abduction and eventual murder of an expert on ESP. as always with this#series‚ the emphasis seems to have been solely on finding strong casts over other visual concerns; still a cheap looking series with just a#couple of sets (tho it does actually manage a little location shooting). Neville‚ in one of his last uk tv appearances before his move to#Canada‚ is the unbalanced science wannabe‚ in a typically restrained and subtle (considering the character and the plot) performance#the great Judy P is his unfortunate victim and is very good but has little to do past the halfway mark except to act scared or drugged or#both. Duguid's direction is unusually showy for this series; he favours extreme closeups on eyes and mouths during key scenes of#exposition‚ adding to the general sense of uneasy weirdness around everything that's happening. the very ending is the series at#its most deliberately spooky‚ but it works; a troubling little sting in the tail of an old fashioned bit of mad science nonsense#oh and Neville's monologues near the end of the ep (part quoted above) are truly something‚ a real masterclass moment

dfjsdf its so nice seeing someone draw exclusively june <3 as someone who cant really stomach seeing john (i cant really wrap my head around how some people just disregard it?? it makes me so upset) your acc is one of my safe spaces
<3 i'm really glad that this blog can be a source of comfort for you ;u; that makes me so happy
i love june so much!!!! i'm a mod at @shittyjunedaily for a reason!!!! she is the one and only for me!!!111
#asks#anon#i personally do not mind seeing people draw john still i mean it is how he has been viewed for several years#BUT#big but#i just think egbert being transfeminine is so important to her arc now that it has been added. specifically that she transitions so late#etc etc a life of repressing their sense of self and helping other people with their arcs only to disregard their own#and then finally being left with the horror of existing in their own body when everyone else is doing okay and is not in any danger#how she looked up to her father and wanted to step in his footsteps so fucking bad but always felt inadequate#not because dad egbert had bad values to teach#in fact they were great#that makes it hurt worse for her even.#its knowing her dad would have loved her regardless but never got the chance to see his daughter being fully at peace or happy#and now that hes gone#she isnt sure if she even can be happy#i love. Jun egbert

did I ever talk about the fact that I wrote a fic where Homelander has a wet dream about Starlight and Soldier Boy*. What an intense ride. Really fun stuff though.
*he's there for moral support. With his shield and everything. top notch stuff I have to say.
#it's so funnyyyyyyyyyy#it's honestly so good I have to say#dialogue DOES include 'you're my hero' 'I know. your cape looks great' HHHHHH screaming. get it milkboy#also I lied he's getting kind of sandwiched there at the end. as he deserves to be#you can tell it’s a little older though because I had a little moment that is SO fun but that I wouldn’t write that way anymore#where he discovers Annie isn’t wearing anything under her dress (obviously. dream logic) and it’s like ‘he always wondered’#which he wouldn’t. I do usually write him as someone who is constantly aware of everybody’s everything#and have been since before the wig reveal#it’s important in the chapter of the hoodie fic that I’m not sure anybody remembers#the one I never posted#anyways what we’re we talking about again#ah yes right. John definitely knew who SB was at that point#I mean it must’ve been after their fight or the cape comment wouldn’t make sense#but again it’s about moral support.#actually the whole fic managed to really walk the line between funny sad and hot. in theory. no idea if that last part came through#he just wants somebody to love him :(#…wild ride in the tags here. but I promise I didn’t lie. it did make me giggle.

#ts4#the sims 4#sims 4#ts4 edit#s4 edit#oc: john#blood tw#blood cw#simblreen 2023#me @ me: why do you keep putting blood on him? because he looks great with it next question#i wanted to do the red background/blue lighting but idk i need to fiddle with that more... slightly coming off as goofy to me#i used black lighting which has my fav effect of his eyes having a slight glow#and a bit of that vignette#is it basic? sure but in a way simplicity can be effective too

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
#and the quote from him about how he wants people to clean up his shitty demos and make them a song ALSO doesn’t have shit to do with it#it’s not his song and it’s not even really his work on it#you gotta hope Jeff has done his duty to George again in some way but we’ll see#also Paul makes such great emphasis on defending that John would have wanted him to do this#but doesn’t say a word about George#like in the little doc I think George even does seem somewhat disdainful when talking about the technology in that split second clip#where he says it’s a whole other . well he doesn’t say can of worms but I am not going back to look now#but anyways I wonder what exists in that convo outside what was placed in the doc.#op#george harrison

Homestuck ships can so easily be "experts warn that polycule could expand to cover all of seattle" style, but then that sucks so much bc nobody else ships it but you
Nepeta: :33 < This is my moirail Equius, and his matesprit Karkat, and Karkat's boyfriend Dave, and their girlfriend Jane
#LIKE HOW PERFECT WOULD THAT SHIP BE#Movie nights would be absolute hell. None of these bitches can shut up for a movie except Equius and#he would be busy holding Nepeta back so he can't take out Karkat's eye over shipping disagreements#like Jane/Dave/Karkat (all dating) is the amazing and (qpr) Nepeta/Equius mixed with (romantic) Equius/Karkat is THE best dynamic#so just throw those together and you get perfection + Equius and Dave's interaction in cannon is great already#I wanna see them all thrown in a hive/house and just see how it works#I wanna see Nepeta‚ Jane‚ Equius‚ and Dave all painting their nails together on the floor (Karkat's off reading a book somewhere nearby)#Nepeta and Jane are the only ones who actually know what they're doing so they end up painting Equius' and Dave's too (respectively)#Equius DOES try to paint his own at first but his fine moter control still isn't that great rn (though he's getting better)#so he keeps getting it all over his actual hand.#When he starts to get anygry and frustrated after so many mistakes is the point where Nepeta offers to help him#He ends up getting nails that /SO/ do not fit his color scheme (bc he didn't actually request any color and she just did what she wanted)#but he doesn't complain. He just looks at her handiwork fondly bc how could he ever be upset over something she so lovingly did for him?#Also Karkat helps Nepeta rearrange her shipping wall. He thinks all of her choices are incorect and complains the whole time‚ but it's one#of those things he'll do while grumbling when it's a ''Hey this is weird‚ though it makes my weirdo happy so fiiiiiiiiiiiine''#Dave annoys Equius to death but they're still friends.#Just with a bit more insults and degrading comments that Equius will apologize for later when things settle down.#I mean it's not like they don't have super fun times between themselves tho. You've seen their conversation when Dave got the broken sword#Also Equius was canonically attracted to Dave during that conversation so like.....#And unrelated to that: If Karkat and/or Dave are ever having a fight with John they bake shit to annoy him#Everyone prefers when Karkat's the one to do it though because Dave ''Doritoes is a food group'' Strider makes the house smell like smoke#while Karkat's baking is only ever sugary goodness#It's an easy way for the God of Wind to lower the house's temperature by like 40° but who the fuck cares when there's cookies and/or cake.#*Jane (<- It think. I'm p sure I put ''John'' on accident but tumblr wont let me see my tags in full anymore so I can't tell)#On second thought‚ I believe Jane only dislikes cake and Betty Crocker stuff specifically#but fuck it we're already in au land so why not add more hcs to the mix#url rambles

New Scotland Yard: Prove It (2.5, LWT, 1972)
"Tell me about the wounded man, Slee."
"Yes, well, local talent. He owns three car lots and a laundrette. He's done quite well for himself, considering."
"Considering what?"
"He started life shooting other people's knees off."
"That's a grammar school education for you."
"Mmm. PTI in the army, jacked it in and sold his muscle to the highest bidder."
"Form?"
"Usual: GBH, malicious wounding with a weapon, assault occasioning bodily harm, demanding with menaces. Clean for the last four years."
"Now a respectable businessman."
"Scum. Handmade suits, two daughters at the local convent, but still scum."
#new scotland yard#prove it#1972#lwt#classic tv#peter moffatt#richard harris#john woodvine#john carlisle#anthony sagar#richard borthwick#ray lonnen#ralph watson#roy purcell#june watson#sally nesbitt#brian hayes#terence sewards#malcolm gerard#gangsters! a gangland 'disagreement' sees one man clinging to life and our intrepid boys move in to sort it all out. they're off their own#patch this week‚ for reasons which are never explained‚ and much is made of the local coppers being uncomfortable around high ranking#types. one of those locals is played by Anthony Sagar‚ who's inexplicably doing a welsh accent (tho tbf not a bad one). this must have been#one of his final jobs‚ he died in January of '73. also a delight is Sandbagger 1 himself‚ Mr Ray Lonnen‚ as a wide boy Mr Big#looking to expand. Harris' script is wittier than many eps of NSY and contains a lot of his trademark sly dialogue (including multiple#instances of the viewer hearing only one side of a phone call and being left to wonder what exactly is being joked about..). this is the#second episode in a row to end with the central crime not actually wrapped up‚ tho in this case it's hinted that Kingdom has set#certain things in motion which will hopefully provoke an arrestable response. he and Carlisle have another icy show down about methods and#practises‚ and Carlisle gets in a truly venomous line or two which should surely have seen him reprimanded (if they had anything like a#realistic working relationship). not a bad ep‚ not a great one either‚ a little too straight cop show in shape to be truly intriguing
