I do love John, but then I remember things like what he said about Cyn's nose, and he... makes it difficult

What I did know was that John and I weren't as close as we had once been and I desperately wanted that closeness back. My confidence, never great, was hitting a real low. Sifting through old press pictures in an effort to work out why I so seldom felt good about myself, I decided the problem was my nose. I had a strong Roman nose, like my father's, with a pronounced bump in the middle. If it had been small and straight, like my mother's and my brothers', I reasoned, everything would have been different. Of course, some part of me knew this was silly, but I was desperate to blame my troubles on something I could resolve, which would make things better with John. If the problem was my nose, well, I could change it.

John thought I was being ridiculous when I told him I wanted to have cosmetic surgery, but said that I could go ahead. “Don’t come crying to me if they mess it up,” he added.

When the time came for the operation I was convinced I'd get a whole new personality — bubbly, confident and sexy — to go with my new nose, and checked into the London Clinic. Afterward, as I lay there with my nose heavily bandaged, a bunch of red roses arrived with a card that read, "A nose by any other name. Love from John and Julian."

Excerpt from ‘John’ by Cynthia Lennon (2005)

Yoko, although shy herself, picked up my spirits enough to give me the courage to get the hell out, just in time for me to avoid having to live with my ex-wife's new nose. She also had had side-interests, much to the surprise of my pre-liberated male ego.

They got the new nose. And I got my dream woman.

Yoko.

This was just meant to be a warm-up sketch lol

EEEEEEE HJGJHFJHG

YOU'RE SO RIGHT

gosh the details in this show make me so happy to learn about yet so sad in the context of the story :,)

something ive noticed while I was making the Cyn theory post: ive never seen anyone talk about the text HERE, besides the "I will not discard you" part

and. wow I am thinking so much about it now so now im trying to see at least SOME text that she got from the Solver

FIRSTLY I love the way the Solver says "hello : ]" like this little : ] is so good and somehow SO fitting

Some of the text that I see (just on this screenshot, I may try to make more screenshots later) is:

[ ][ ][ ] hello : ]

I see you are [di S oful/sad]

I see you are inspe ] end]]

--- I fD--t] [selfD [ ]-d ]end]]

I see we could [trl][scl] [edit] for you

I will not discard you

[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][Absolute[Solver]

Access? Y/N

[ 00011]

I see you will be here for

Which makes me think about the full meaning of those things that Cyn got here from the Solver. Not entirely sure of what could be the full words on "di S" and "inspe ", and I wonder if "/sad" was like a different version of the previous word (" oful"??????) or if Solver was trying to show that it has "emotions" (think of tonetags NFHDNDRHG) to manipulate Cyn

the "I fD--t" part is interesting too and I have NO idea what could this mean, but "selfD" reminds me of "selfDestruct", just like with Uzi at the end of ep1

"trl", "scl" and "edit" are all the different functions of the Solver: translate, scale and edit. The only one missing is "rotate", but you can see the empty space between "scl" and "edit" anyways

the "[ 00011]" reminds me that the ONLY other instance of binary code in md that I remember is that one screenshot that says "null" in the binary code, but 00011 is too short for a binary code and it doesnt correlate with any letters for "null" either

And then, there is also "I see you will be here for", which is... I'm not entirely sure on how this sentence may end, actually. Forever? For a long time? I honestly have no idea

But what really is interesting is that it gave her a CHOICE. And she ACCEPTED it. Just.... Imagine her situation. Thats her only choice to survive. And with the way Solver talks to her here..... it probably seemed like a miracle to her. She had no idea that it will take over her mind and that may be one of the reasons why she doesn't see any problem with the Solver being there. And I don't think you can blame her, honestly, considering her situation and her age. Poor girl just wanted to not be discarder, to be ALIVE, and this really was her only opportunity

Cyn: I’m not built different, I’m just built incorrectly.

Helen Anderson, A Life in Ten Pictures - John Lennon, (2021)

“Oh, gosh - my old friends. I love this. Here’s Cynthia with the mop. John actually holding a garden tool - John that’s never pulled a weed out in his life, in Auntie’s garden, you know? He’s got that smirk on his face. And little Julian all sweet, sitting on Cyn’s knee with a… jam tart, I think it is. And that’s such a happy photograph of them.”

“They were so thrilled when they found that house. Oh, married bliss, that was. That’s what Cynthia was dreaming of - a beautiful house in the country, where she could eventually go back to her painting, and John would go back to his writing and drawing and everything else, and they wouldn’t need money to live on, because they’d made it in five years with The Beatles, you see? She thought, you know - “This is a five-year phenomenon. And in five years, you know, we’ll have our own life back again.””

was this meant to be cyn's origin? she was the only worker drone to have yellow lights at this point in time so it couldn't be anyone else. imagine what she was thinking here.
