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

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 👀

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

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

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.

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

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
