#insane quotes: yoko edition

[javelinbk]

This ‘quote’ from Yoko is certainly something

"It's a pity, really. I like Paul! I think of him as a friend. John is the one who doesn't like Paul. Paul was always the cute one and John was jealous of that. When I first met Paul I was attracted to him. I'm like that when I really like someone. I try to get close to the guy who's close to the guy I like. That's why I was getting close to John, so I would be near Paul if he wanted to make a move. And Paul was attracted to me, I could see that. But he couldn't handle the idea of being attracted to somebody John was with because that would be a violation of the fraternity rules. I was someone else's property; that's how men think, you know. So then Paul was very frustrated because he wanted me and felt that he couldn't have me. That's why he always acted so mean to me. Men always think like that, you know. If they can't have a woman they want to punish her. But I think that he was always a little interested because of the way he looked at me. Even when he used to come here with Linda, he was always looking at me funny when he knew Linda and John couldn't see him doing it. There were other things too, like he got married because John and I did."

"I thought that he got married to Linda before you married John."

"Well he did, but he knew that John and I were planning to, so right away he married Linda so he would get the headlines first. He's like John that way, very competitive. I think that if it wasn't for me, he never would have married Linda at all. She was just a groupie, you know. I don't think they ever would have married if it wasn't for the competitive pressure between John and Paul and Paul's frustration about me. He just married her to prove that I didn't mean anything to him. I think he does still feel something about me though. Do you want to read on that and see how he's feeling about me?"

I did and it didn't look like love. Disdain, maybe, contempt certainly, but definitely not love.

"He seems to have gotten over his infatuation with you."

"Are you sure? That's very funny. Well, he hasn't seen me in such a long time, so maybe that's it… I don't know why men think that I'm so attractive. But they all seem to. I can tell from the way they look at me—Do you think if Paul were to see me that he would be attracted again? I still like him, you know."

Excerpt from ‘Dakota Days’ by John Green

[averyaddamsromance]

I am a wyler/weyler. The very obsessive kind one. I devour fan fictions -mostly explicit. I am obsessed with Tyler and Wednesday in character. In our BIG wyler community there are so many great writers, I try to mention them every time I can with my incorrect quotes and posts- guys you know how grateful we all are for your existence!

However, until one month and half ago or so, I very rarely read AU fan fictions.

But then, something happened, something HUGE:

My world has been turned upside down by @wincestation the day she published All It Took Was Your Spark and to honour the way she is feeding our obsession with new chapters every week, I edited this video above, completely inspired by her insanely awesome fan fiction - and under the supervision of Wince herself who suggested always the right changes.

What can I say? I am devoted to All It Took Was Your Spark and to Wincestation. Sue me. If there was a series like this, starring Jenna and Hunter, I believe it would have consumed the whole world even more than Wednesday.

Tyler is very hydeish, to use Yoko's words in the fanfic, he is "stubborn, devilish, and an unhealthy level of horny". You will recognise the Tyler from episode 8, for sure.

Wednesday, oh well, she is simply our Wednesday. No more words are needed.

Are you a weyler? Yes? Have you read AITWYS? Yes? Ok, we are fine.

No??? Then what are you waiting for?

do you know any quotes from john or paul about the other post beatles? ! maybe some contradicting or semi negative about the other?

hmmm…

i don’t know if you count lyrics as quotes, but all of how do you sleep is negative toward paul. these are a few personal highlights:

“Those freaks was right when they said you was dead”

“The only thing you done was yesterday / And since you’ve gone you’re just another day”

“A pretty face may last a year or two / But pretty soon they’ll see what you can do”

here’s a letter john wrote to paul and linda that’s particularly nasty. some highlights: 

“Do you really think most of today’s art came about because of the Beatles? — I don’t believe you’re that insane — Paul — do you believe that?”

“they ask me about Paul and I answer—I know some of it gets personal—but whether you believe it or not I try and answer straight—and the bits they use are obviously the juicy bits—I don’t resent [him]—I’m sorry for him.”

“… get off your high horse! — by the way — we’ve had more intelligent interest in our new activities in one year than we had throughout the Beatle era.”

“Of course, the money angle is important—to all of us—especially after all the petty shit that came from your insane family/in laws—and GOD HELP YOU OUT, PAUL”

here are some miscellaneous john quotes:

“we got fed up with being sidemen for Paul” [x]

“I thought Paul’s (debut album) was rubbish.” [x]

i’m having a hard time finding negative paul quotes? i feel like john was more outwardly negative about paul; paul made two subtle lyric jabs at him in too many people:

You took your lucky break and broke it in two

Too many people preaching practices

i also dug up this quote, and while i can’t find a legitimate source for it for the context, this could also be interpreted as a subtle attack toward john:

Explaining the motives behind the breakup of the Beatles: “Personal differences, musical differences, business differences, but most of all because I have a better time with my family.”

idk, you could argue that the “i have a better time with my family” part was meant to say “see? i don’t need you, or even want you, anymore.” but like i said, without context, it’s hard to make a case for that.

he did a radio interview where he placed the entirety of the blame on john for the beatles break up:

“Basically me, George, and Ringo said, ‘Does this have to be final? Could we do a couple of gigs or can we think about this tomorrow?’ But John was off with Yoko and he was saying, ‘No, no, it’s great – I feel a release,’ and all that. So that was kind of final.”

this is a statement he has contradicted, as shown here:

“I think it was just straightforward jealousy, Ringo left first, then George, then John. I was the last to leave! It wasn’t me!”

so by saying that, he’s admitting the band already had issues prior to john leaving, so it couldn’t be entirely his fault. 

i’m sure there’s a lot more out there (from both of them), but i don’t really keep track of negative quotes like this lol i like to think about them being happy. if anyone knows any other quotes, feel free to add them!

edit: i can’t believe i forgot this one, but this is probably the nastiest thing paul has ever said:

“You and your Jap tart think you’re hot shit.” [x]

thanks @lauriemanning! they also suggested looking into ram, particularly dear boy and monkberry moon delight, as well as paul’s “off the record” phone interview with hunter davis.
