Imo, I think the lennon-mccartney feud in the early 70s is heavily exaggerated within this fandom. Ik that there was jealousy and rivalry between the two, mostly on John's part but it's so over exaggerated here that some non beatle fans on social media genuinely believed that John and Paul hated each other for the majority of their lives

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.)
#come on now#it has to be a sweep#coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb#McLennon is becoming sort of mainstream it’s that compelling#So powerful it’s broken containment
