I stand by what I’ve said in the past about Paul being John’s safe place from the late 50s to around the mid 60s:

‘The best approach to the borderline pattern in psychotherapy is to model stability.  The therapist becomes a stable object.  Every week, the same thing – safe and predictable, and utterly unlike the patient’s childhood world.’

‘If I worked with John Lennon, I would seek meticulously to be the same stable object each and every time he saw me.  I would let him know I welcomed his anger just as I welcomed all his emotions, so long as he put everything into words instead of going into action on unexplored feeling.  I would make certain he never received a response from me other than acceptance and support.  The goal at all times would be to flatten out the gyrations – to offer a Middle Path, the path of the Buddha, the path of moderation.’

‘Just like Pavlov’s dogs, you tend to make predictions based upon your past experiences with the people in your life.  That’s all John Lennon was doing.  He knew the world was not to be trusted because it had betrayed him, cruelly, when he was a child.’

Aidan Quinn as Paul McCartney and Jared Harris as John Lennon in Two of Us (2000)          "I’m sorry.”          “For what?”          "Being such a tosser.”          “Me too, John. Me too.” +

getting emotional over footage of an amateur scuba diver interacting with a coelacanth. they are hunted by large deepwater predators, and here comes a large creature bearing the brightest lights it's ever seen, making strange noises, but it does not shy away. it hovers, calmly, as the diver reaches out and trails a hand down its back. im strongly against the anthropomorphizing of real life animals but the stupid emotional part of me loudly insists this is because it recognizes us, the alternating movements of its four paired limbs matching the diver's four paired limbs, & it is thinking, "hello, cousins, we missed you these 66 million years, it's so good to see you again. welcome back, welcome home."

hey reblog this with a piece of your favorite poem, please

[paulandjohn]

I’m so glad this fic has been recommended! I was going to recommend it myself but figured I’d check first to see if anyone else had recommended it before.

This fic is amazing and beautiful and it’s always on my mind and I’ve been reading this every year since it was published in 2019.

Everyone please go and read it.

Fic: On our way back home

by kathleenishereagain (no tumblr that i know of

Summary:

Here's the short version from ao3: Summer 2019, 77-year-old Paul wakes up feeling surprisingly good. One tiny problem: he is back in December 1965.

Why I like this fic:

This fic is SUPER popular, I wanted to be the first one to recommend it on here because it is genuinely my favorite beatles fic Ever. Paul somehow time travels back to 1965 and gets to be a beatle all over again. Most importantly, he gets to see John again, and say the things he never got to say :) It ripped my heart out the first time I read it and sewed it all back together again. I laughed, I cried, I aww'd, I got angry, everything! It is a Very long read (over 360k.. in like sixty some chapters) but ALL of it is worth it. The world building, characterization, the smut, all of it is a 10/10 across the board. Every beatles fan that hasn't tackled this monster yet deserves to read it!

I didn't get pics I didn't get pics my phone was in the bedroom charging but FANCY IS PLAYING WITH THEM. Not next TO them but INITIATING PLAY WITH THEM.

Not bitchily, not reluctantly, not with a short temper, not tolerating THEIR advances, but making her OWN advances! Inviting them in!!!!!! Even the detested Junie!

CRYINGGGGGG.

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

Y'all, I'm back. And after ten hours without power, and most of those without water and any means of communication, I have a very important thing to say. An old radio powered by batteries is my new best friend. If you don't have one at home, you should get one. Right now.

Just finished "On our way back home" by Kathleenishereagain and i think i need help to remember how to live and breathe, and think not only 'bout these great words

It's masterpiece MY GOD *screams*. I just keep smiling and zoning out every two minutes

Daily reminder that Jon and Damian have their own fortress built by Batman and Superman. Jon called it the Fortress of Attitude and Damian let him.

Last weekend we had the most wonderful day doing 1900 historical reenactment with these lovely ladies we had the pleasure to know! 🥰 We walked around royal gardens, watched the air balloons take off, played with the horses and chickens and had an amazing picnic in a beautiful estate! It was such a dream 😭 I look forward to more incredible events with Anacronicos ❤️

And all that red, it reads:

"Here is a thing yet unbelonging

And here is a passage of time: To Be,

To Be young,

and to forfeit its youth.

Go ahead and take the thing

lest it be lonely

It already belongs to you"

Although,

we wrote that two years after

We wrote "Here Is a Thing That Belongs to You" which

We wrote A few days after

we wrote "Psychobabble" and a few minutes before

We wrote "take the thing and say thank you"

A thing which we actually are

(belonging, you know, to you know who)

So we'd be the ones to know, you know?

That we were never "unbelonging" and

the latter (not later) to be the truth .

and here is the passage of time (two years, not "to be young")

Between "psychobabble" and "that belongs" (that grew)

And "that belongs" and "the passage of time" (that spoiled)

Which all,

by right,

belong to you.

Which we present

...AGAIN,

As we apologize

...AGAIN

as we wait (as we must wait,

as our hands are tied)

For something new.
