#it has to be a sweep

[thewalrusespublicist]

Very much a mclennon agnostic but further propaganda because it seems people just aren’t getting the insanity (sorry for any repeats):

People at their staff offices reportedly called Paul John’s princess

Yoko TOLD JOHN’S BIOGRAPHER THAT JOHN CONSIDERED AN AFFAIR WITH PAUL. YOKO. HIS WIFE.

John wrote ‘funeral’ on Paul’s wedding photo of him and his wife whilst leaving a tender message beneath a photo of him and Paul

After the break-up John would listen to Paul’s records and weep

They actually fully believed they had a telepathic bond.

Multiple people referring to them being married

‘It’s almost like we’re lovers’ and all of Get Back basically

Weird extended eye contact that freaked people out it was so intense

Beat the Meatles

How Do You Sleep heartbroken diss track

John writing a song with loads of hidden references to Paul. In it he tells the subject (highly likely to be Paul) not to cry, that they can return to their telepathic state and that he will now love him more than ever

On that same note John told Paul the song Jealous Guy was for him. The track again apologised for making someone cry but the singer (John) was scared that they didn’t love them any more and he panicked

John wrote a short story in which he fucks a ‘person’ in Paris in the George V hotel after doing ‘Methodist acting’. John went to Paris after filming a movie in 1966 to see Paul. They had also stayed at the George V hotel on their other trips there. The girls name that he’s supposed to be having sex with is a play on the word Poppers and her genitalia is alluded to be male. There are multiple other euphemisms to gay sex in the passage (‘treading lightly on the loafers etc). The ‘girl’, his little Aime, insists they listen to ‘God Only Knows’ by the Beach Boys. This was and is one of Paul’s favourite songs and the song he insisted John listen to on repeat in … you guessed it, 1966

They both got married 8 days after each other. John insisted on getting married the MINUTE he heard Paul had

The ‘I Love Paul’ badge

John told his friend that like everyone ‘he fell for Paul’s looks’

When John died Paul was one of three people Yoko called, the other two were John’s Aunt who raised him and John’ first son. He was that important.

Their love in whatever form it took created a partnership that has had a massive global impact on music, gender expression and other movements that are felt to this DAY

Your guys crashed a car? They crashed a company and a band with their mind games

Screw a wiki page, there have been books and podcasts created around their love story. A play in which they kissed has just debuted, a book titled ‘LennonMcartney A love story in songs’ is coming out NEXT YEAR.

The guys that made their cars go fast do sound cool and compelling and all but no one is doing it like whatever tf Lennon/McCartney were doing. No one.

AND THIS ISNT EVEN HALF OF IT

Best RPF Ship - Round 1 Match 20

Propaganda under cut

Brocedes Propaganda

it's unlikely childhood best friends to teammates to rivals to bitter enemies to ... whatever they are now (lewis avoids saying nico's name like it's an incantation to cause the end of the world; nico constantly praises lewis and has semi-recently gone on record as saying that in his heart, they're still best friends).

there is a wikipedia page dedicated specifically to their rivalry. they slept in the same hotel rooms as teenage teammates in go-karting. they knew each other better than anyone else did (as one f1 commentator put it, live on air speaking to nico himself, "everything bar lovers.") and their team principal has said there were things between them nobody else could ever understand.

(i started typing out more propaganda but really i was basically just putting in their entire life histories. anyway they live in the same building and don't talk but lewis sends christmas presents to nico's daughters. these men had their teenage codependent homoerotic friendship blow up on live sports tv and it's the most fascinating thing in the world.)

hey writers we have to talk.

if you've read any romance or fanfic in the past twenty years (i know you have), you know that there are a certain number of scents associated with hot dudes. you can probably recite the list of Things Men in Fic smell like in your sleep: leather, black pepper, pine, sandalwood, "something uniquely him", clean sweat, and if the character has ever fucking been within 50 yards of a firearm, something called "cordite".

here's the thing.

NO ONE SMELLS LIKE CORDITE.

cordite was a highly specific type of smokeless gunpowder developed in the 1890s by england specifically and used mostly in wwi.

if your good-smelling guy is not (a) english (b) using a very specific type of british rifle (c) dying in a trench in flanders, he does not smell like cordite. technically even if he does meet all those conditions he still doesn't smell like cordite because he smells like trenchfoot.

the point is, cordite is so far from universal that no one but the most hardcore gun nerds give a single shit about it. making your Sexy Hero smell like cordite is like naming a cassette-only bootleg live recording from the 1970s as your favorite grateful dead album. everyone at the party hates you immediately and knows you're doing it for clout. also, it's just factually... wrong. please stop. i know everyone else is doing it, but you can do the right thing here, i believe in you.

so what do people who are using guns smell like?

well if your story is set before the late 1880s, the smell of a fired gun is black powder, which, unfortunately, smells like seventeen flatulent cows have been shoved in a tire factory. trust me, you do not want your Hot Dude to smell like black powder. it's b a d.

if your story is set after the late 1880s, guns are using some variety of modern 'smokeless' powder - which speaking broadly doesn't really have a ton of scent when used. it does have some, but it's sort of non-descript: the best way i can describe it is the sweet, ozone, hot-plate smell of popping your car hood with a warm engine.

people who use guns a lot don't smell like fired guns all the time anyway, so while those scents might work in a fight scene, they're not realistic all the time. but there are some things that your Sexy Shootist will smell like basically 24/7 and that's metal and gun oil. metal you can go and sniff (i recommend non-stainless steel), but if you want a reference, most gun oils have a sharp, organic smell that's not dissimilar to canola oil but muskier and with a tang overtop. it's not unlikely leather is in the mix as well due to routine handling of leather equipment and gear. modern gear also tends to have a certain smell although it varies by production country and storage conditions - lots of opportunities there.

in conclusion: gunslingers and hired killers and military folks can be sexy and smell great on page, but i am begging you not to say "cordite" when you mean "gunpowder" ever again. we can do this. we are writers and therefore pedants. i believe in us!

I don't think John gets harrow, really at all. I think he is constantly misjudging her and her level of attachment to him. She's been indoctrinated to love him but she's literally always put her unhinged lesbian crushes ahead of him in her loyalties. She tried to release the girl she thought could kill him age 11. She lobotomized herself out of being useful to him because she thought he was wrong that she couldn't do anything to save gideon. She hates the food he gives her and she finds his interpersonal relationships distasteful. She's been trained to put him first but she doesn't actually like this guy. Imo

On Davrin's room in the Lighthouse. 👀

User: "question, of our 7 companions, which is most likely to be up early and watch the sunrise , which is most likely one to sleep till noon?" Corinne: "When you see Davrin’s room, you’d certainly assume he’d be up watching the sunrise with that view. If only it weren’t in the fade 😅" [source]

I'm so excited about it I have to post on main, but all the stuff coming out about the Lighthouse feels like an expansion upon the Tempest in ME:A, which I think is *the best* main hub Bioware has done. I've always loved that ME and DA are in conversation with each other and Veilguard improving on the Andromeda formula feels so good and right babey.
