please i beg for babydoll part 3 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I think about babydoll daily. I can’t wait for everyone to read the (hopefully) end. But tbh it’s looking like it won’t be cause tumblr can’t hack the word count.

I wanted to upload a month ago but well… life. But it is being wrapped up, so no one has to worry about it remaining unwritten pfff. Just some patience with my chaotic inconsistency pls 🤧

I wanted to understand your face

“were john lennon and paul mccartney secretly having gay sex?” is a question that depends entirely on your definition of “sex” and “gay” and “secretly” and “john lennon” and “paul mccartney”

Focused too much on Zootles!McLennon I forget Starrison is there too

Constantly being dismissed by John and Paul while also having to suffer through their passive-aggressive flirting could do numbers on one's mental health. It was all the same to Ringo too as the drummer would come back to the studio timid and quiet, not really saying anything of substance unless spoken to

While John and Paul were busy trying to decide whether they were going to kiss or kill each other every day in the studio, George falls onto Ringo's shoulders once again as he always did whenever he felt unseen. George didn't mind if he had to lose his position in the band, as long as he had Ringo. He had lost Ringo once from the fighting and ego and while it was only for a week or two, it was the most miserable week of his life. Maybe that was why he wanted Ringo to have a piece of him, just so he knew he would always be connected to him. Maybe it was selfishness on his part but who was anyone to blame a poor old Deer for not wanting to lose the one person that made him feel seen and heard, the one beast in the whole world that would view him as equal wherever and whenever?

In the midst of fighting, Ringo had shyly told George about the song he wrote while he was away and while George had never thought of Ringo as being particularly "spiritual", he was surprised at the song he presented to him. A childish tune in the ears of the other two freaks fighting over leadership, yet to George it was the most profound tune he had ever heard.

Ringo had told him about his little trip to the underwater city. Sea creatures, unlike land dwellers, had no qualms over predation, they believed it was just part of life to eat and be eaten. To many others it would just sound like Ringo the Lion just wanted a reason to eat people, but George knew better. His partner had always detested himself, as a Lion, as a Carnivore, hell he barely saw himself as being a Person sometimes. To hear Ringo speak about the sea folks in such a way made George's heart ache as his partner truly believed that the only way he could be happy about himself is if he were born in a different circumstances. There were no qualms underwater, and Ringo wouldn't mind being born as a shrimp because there was nothing wrong with it. It was just life. Simple as.

It was so... Ringo. To want to escape from the fighting, avoid the violence, to live together in harmony with his best friends, safe and sound as they happily sing and dance together just like how they dreamed they would. No Carnivores, no Herbivores, just them, under the sea, in an octopus's garden...

I just read your post about having surgery. It sounds awful. Any procedure is never easy but this really took you for a loop it sounds. I'm sure it's been so rough for you. No apologies are needed regarding your writing. Your health comes first. I'm not going anywhere and I'm patient. So please, don't rush or push yourself.

Yeah it really did throw me 😪 I still have some pain but it’s gotten a lot better, so I can probably get back to it soon. But thank you so much, that’s really sweet 🥺 I appreciate it a lot 💜

my good sir PLEASE explain this

John said LIKE, you know, simile, he didn't say we were lovers, that's not the words that he used.

Hey so I bought a ton of the 90’s Beatles trading cards at my local antique store, and I WILL be using them as tarot card sets, so, go ahead and drop some questions into my inbox if you’d like to ask the Beatarot anything

The Beatles speaking about themselves in DISC (12 October 1963) [George & Ringo section here]

[PAUL] We’re not unapproachable… It’s fab - the success and all that - but I wish people wouldn't think that because we’re successful, we’re unapproachable. It’s not true. We’re just the same now as we always were, and I hate it when maybe someone who lives in the same street now ignores me because they’re frightened I’m going to turn my head away.  I think in the last year or so, I’ve grown up a lot. I’m still the same old Paul McCartney, but I seem to have learnt a great deal more. For instance, I know there are times when I must behave myself! When you’re in the public eye for most of the time if you’re caught out doing anything mischievous the comeback’s on the group, and the rest of the Beatles shouldn’t have to pay for any mistakes I make. 

I know it sounds stupid coming from me, but I don’t want to be classified as anything, and if I had more time, I’d like to relax and take life as it comes.  I had a taste of really relaxing when Ringo and I went to Greece.  The only part we didn’t like was having to take the garlic from all the food, and there were times when I longed for a good old steak and chips, or a few cheese slices. I’m on a slightly different food kick now. Bananas, meringues, pancakes and crepe suzettes.  In spite of this I’ve lost a lot of weight in the last few months. I suppose that’s from running around, but as long as I feel healthy, there isn’t too much to worry about.  The biggest moment in my life that I remember is getting my first bike. I must have been about seven.  But the funniest thing is, I always used to pedal backwards and it took months to get me to do it right!

[JOHN] I want to write a book… I love doodling. You know, I want to write a book and when I eventually get round to it I want to fill it with Lennon-type ramblings and cartoons.  If I wasn’t what I am today, then I think I would like to have been a cartoonist. On the other hand, if I did too much drawing, I’d finish up with square eye balls to match my glasses! I don’t like specs, but I have to wear them. It’s as simple as that. I chose black square frames because I think they suit me best. I’ve gone right off what you call ‘beatle-neck’ jackets. Got sick of wearing them. Instead I’ve started going in for four button suits with two vents at the back, preferably in a heavyish material. I’m always looking for changes. You get a bit fed up with wearing the same gear all the time. But one thing I won’t change is the colour of my socks. I always stick to black and navy blue, and usually elastic-sided boots.  I suppose my likes and dislikes are the same as everyone else’s. But there are one or two things that make me hopping mad. For instance, I can’t stand it if someone plays one of our records in public knowing we’re there.  Another thing I hate is people who go out and buy all these wild rhythm and blues records without really understanding them but because it’s the thing to do. Maybe I’m biased, but to me, music is sacred. I love it in most forms, and even have an album of the stuff by Stravinsky, along with The Shirelles and Chuck Berry.  I like people to be natural, and perhaps a little offbeat, but not way-out. Those way-out cats are only trying to attract attention. Don’t think I’m hitting back at the groups who are supposed to copy us in dress or music. I just think they’d stand a much better chance by being themselves and, if possible, trying to think one jump ahead.
