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!

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 😘😘😘

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

Arekti Premer Golpo (2010)/// Rituporno Ghosh

As a brown skinned queer girl, born in a country where identifying as *not straight* will get you to jail, I really didn’t have much icons to look up to growing up. The activists in the only formal LGBTQ organisation in our country were all killed off in 2013 (a hushed topic no one knows), so it’s scary as hell. Classmates calling me *hijra* because I liked girls along with boys. Frenemies sending me advice articles on *how not to be gay*. Juniors laughing at my *gender identity* and pronouns. I’ve had it all.

My mom always liked Rituporno Ghosh, saying his films equate to art, but would never show me who he was. Why? My young self wandered off and researched him up a bit. I was shocked to find an androgynous role model, a person who shared the same skin tone as me. It might sound silly today, but it surely meant a lot to the 13 year old fuddled up about her identity in the world.

Years have passed. I’m comfortable in my own skin. I’ve learnt to cut off remarks that do not matter. Ex boyfriend texted that I *looked gay* in a certain Instagram post, I replied *omg thanks <3*. Pansexuality has become such a deep part of me today that it doesn’t feel different. I’m the same human, ok?

I decided to watch up Rituporno’s most iconic film today. It is not a very *talked about film* in the Bengali industry.

Rituporno introduces melancholy as the main theme of the entire story. A gay man wanting to hide behind the story of the film he’s making. Being in love with someone he can’t have forever. As “Basu” describes in a shot, they’re lovers on the run.

Drawing from historic references and *Jatra*, he also explores the androgyny in the Bengali traditions. It magnifies the aesthetic appeal of the film even more. Lovely lovely camera work.

One of the main successes of the themes of “Arekti Premer Golpo”, in my opinion, is that it is close to reality than most other queer stories. The other upbeat netflix series stuff show a very utopian world where LGBTQ lovers live in an accepting world, almost isolated to only themselves. But Rituporno illustrates complex relationship dynamics in his films, leaving the audience to wonder the real chemistry between them (I still need to research).

It’s brain food, it’s thoughtful. I love it.

absolutely 9/10.

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?
