Your last ask makes me wonder. if you had to assign each of the beatles a taylor swift album who will be who.

!!!!!!!!!!! thank you love this ask!!!

In terms of personality, I think my answer right now is John is Midnights (messy and confessional), Paul is Lover (optimistic, despite the scars), George is evermore (contemplative, slightly melancholy but finding peace), and Ringo is maybe folklore (calm while a bit lost).

In terms of what album I think comes closest to their actual art, I think I'd say John is rep (provocative, in your face, with an exceptionally tender side), Paul is evermore (experimental, a bit strange, narrative-based), George is like.... 1989 if it were guitar-based lol (like a bit more observing and lesson-focused songwriting I feel?), and Ringo is Fearless because he's a country boy <3

Does this make sense? Do you agree with these?

1, 5, 10, 30 for the vinyl ask (this is nelsonswilbury on main)

omg HI sorry i didn't realize you were following me on main lol

First LP you ever bought?

It's been a long time (like 2013-2014?) so I don't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure it was Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago

5. Favorite LP in your collection?

oooh this is a tough question bc I love all my records sm but my baby of my collection is my original press of All Things Must Pass that came with a Mountain Man George™️ poster. The album just sounds SO incredible on vinyl- I seriously had a religious experience when I listened to it for the first time while high on edibles lmao

10. Last record you bought?

Farewell Angelina- Joan Baez! I was super excited to find it bc it's my favorite Joan studio album, and for some reason it's a lot easier to find Joanie and Bob records now that I've moved to Europe than where I was before- at least my current local record place has a huge selection of both which is amazing

30. Record(s) that you want to buy next?

I would love to buy more Joan and Bob records obviously, since my Bob collection right now is only The Times They Are A-Changin' and Desire, and the only other Joan record I have besides the one I previously mentioned is a compilation album. Since I'm a George girl I would love to own his complete solo discography eventually- I'm about halfway there now but I'm pretty picky about the quality and price of my vintage records so I'm taking my sweet time lol. Other than that hmmm idk, I would love to expand my jazz collection? Or find some more of some of my other favorite 60s/70s artists. I would kill for a Janis Joplin LP tbh.

Send me vinyl asks!

How do you do the super boop??

Master @frodolives showed me the way. It appears to only work on desktop but you hover the cursor over the boop button (the obe that appears next to urls on the dash) and wait for it to spin around and then click.

[idontwanttospoiltheparty]

ENABLE BOOPS PLEASE I WANT TO BOOP YOU SO BAD

GOOD MORNING !!

[idontwanttospoiltheparty]

Fiona!! You're a ray of sunshine on my dash! Your opinions/thoughts are always so well written and i am always amazed at how you manage to find words for how music feels/the vibes etc. Love talking to you you're the perfect mix of funny and goofy with thoughtful and profound. There's many other things but you are just so sweet and considerate and have so much empathy for all the beatles/beatles adj ppl which is why your analyses are so insightful i think. Also love reading your music/lyric analysis. Idk this is not very articulate just wanted to say ur my favourite bug mutual and sending a bunch of love ur way. Also can't wait to read your fic 😘😘😘

Tina this is the sweetest thing!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! You're so easy to talk to and I'm so glad you enjoy talking to me too!!!

[curtwilde]

I love that you have sarfaroshi ki tamanna in your bio, it made me hum it a bit lmao. I love that song.

Thank you! I love it too!! It's a pretty common protest chant where I'm from :)

I also love the fact that the writer of sarfaroshi is Ram Prasad Bismil, and as Varun Grover said: Ye desh hi apna hasil hai jahan Ram Prasad bhi Bismil hai

can't boop from sideblogs 😩😩😩😩 mutuals boops from @faewong are from me

[idontwanttospoiltheparty]

I totally understand where you are coming from, but would love for you to expand more on your last post. (If only you feel comfortable and want to of course!) 💕

Link to my post and also link to Phoney's essay.

Basically, I think if you're assuming John underwent some form of conversion therapy, which resulted in him having a negative or denying view of his orientation, then it sort of follows that those feelings would have extended to Paul in some way. (And I'm also thinking about how negative he got about Brian during Lennon Remembers.)

And I feel like, despite not wanting to dismiss John's early 70s complaints as "crazy" and purely a product of his mental health issues, and also despite not wanting to absolve Paul of all responsibility — I can't help but think maybe we're ignoring the fact that John could have been insidiously and basically tortuously forced to feel negatively towards Paul. People are often pointing out how John's spiteful behaviour towards him is somewhat of an exception in John's life – he never behaved as vindictive and cruel with anyone else – but I don't see people connecting it to anything outside John and Paul's relationship, it's either because Paul was too repressed, or too uncommitted, or because John was too emotionally unstable or uncommunicative. And I'm not saying none of those things apply. But maybe, some part is because someone John trusted to help and even cure him of his lifelong mental ailments told him that what he felt was nothing more than an inherently bad symptom of his broken childhood.

Based on how the essay described Janov's attitude toward homosexuality, I get the impression his teachings would've instilled in John an idea that those feelings are in a way a sign of weakness, of succumbing to the way his parents fucked him up. So, like he performatively started hating religion, calling it a crutch, I think there's a part of him that may have been convincing himself that his feelings for Paul weren't real and something that he needed to shed to move on.

Yeah... does that make sense?

Orchid, adelia and ivy!!

Tina <3

orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect?

To stray a little away from my absolute fave artists, I'll say Hard Feelings by Lorde. Hard to explain why, I just think it captures the disappointment of falling out of love so achingly beautifully. The production is engrossing, the vocal delivery is outstanding.

(Also I was thinking about this recently and I started (but haven't finished!!) a playlist with songs I consider to be like the Best Of The Best, like my favourite songs that I think everyone should agree with me are great songs lmao.)

abelia ⇢ do you have a particular piece of jewelry you always wear or can’t part with?

No, I cannot be trusted not to lose or break jewelry. I genuinely love my glasses though and never take them off if I can help it (except to replace them with my sunglasses), they look like this.

ivy ⇢ what are your ‘tells’ for your emotions and moods? how can someone tell you’re happy, annoyed, upset or tired?

Honestly, I Don't Know, but here are my tells when I'm texting:

happy: excessive creative emoji use. The animals and nature ones mostly 🦊🦄🐣🐋🐳🌟🌛🌦🌈🍇🌠🏔

annoyed: I write "ok" instead of "okay"

upset: "I… I don't know… I just… I… UGH YXCMNBCBMCX"

tired: (didn't reply because fell asleep)

Ooooooo omg Fiona the new theme is popping!! The purple! Beatles in shades!! 😍😍😍😍

thank you so much, Tina!!!!!!! I've always loved that picture of them, they all look great on it and I've over the past months become so fond of 64 them, plus the pic lended itself well for colour matching. (Dismayed to report there are VERY FEW purple pics of them)
