small rant about 5 seconds of a silly kids cartoon from the 60's and a ship

I'm having emotions. George sounds so sweet idk why. That adorable little chuckle. i want him. Also Ringo looks so.. enamored!!!! like they would just kiss right then and there lmaoo

no like they're so in love. people talk about mclennon all the time but i don't see enough starrison rants

yeah this cartoon was a shitshow but it's my shitshow and it actually kinda provides comfort for me in a weird way. like. ringo gives kitty cat vibes and george gives kitty cat lover vibes (not in a zo0philic way lmao)

starrison gives me a weird itch in my brain idk why. i just really really enjoy this dynamic. yeah yeah they (probably) weren't like that irl (i dont watch much of them irl someone fill me in if i lost details) but in this show, chemistry is there. maybe they could be queerplatonic like john and paul or sumthin idfk

idk they are just my blorbos and i project a lot of things on them i guess

thinking insane thoughts….

[shamebats]

Evolutionary psychology (totally a valid field of study): girls & women are naturally the most attracted to big buff stoic strong men because they instinctively know that they will be able to hunt and protect them

Young boys: this makes sense to me, I will internalize it

What men who cause international conservative backlash because they make girls & women go feral with uncontrollable lust actually look like:

Ponyboy comes home from college for Thanksgiving headcanon

Darry walks in, sees Steve, Two-Bit and Sodapop in a state of shock

Darry: What happened?

Sodapop shakes his head: It’s Ponyboy, Darry

Darry’s heart drops: Oh no, did he make it back

Two-Bit, wipes tear: Yes, but he’s…changed

Darry, thinking Ponyboy has fallen into the wrong crowd: What do you mean?

Steve, staring off into the distance: He was listening to…I can’t say it

Darry: To what?

Sodapop: The Beatles, Darry, he was listening to…*them*

Darry: *gasps* No…you must be mistaken

Two-Bit: Those university kids got your brother…he is into…

*Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds plays in the distance, Darry tiptoes into Ponyboy’s room, and there is Ponyboy next to his record player*

Ponyboy, innocently : Hey Darry, my roommate gave me his extra Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band vinyl :-)

Darry, drops the mail: Ponyboy how could you?

Ponyboy: What?

Darry: We are an Elvis Presley household

Ponyboy: Eh, Elvis’s stuff just don’t do it for me anymore, the Beatles are just better

Darry: Get out you, you…traitorous child

i wish i was a teen girl in the 60’s fan-girling over the beatles, elvis, and audrey hepburn.

HAMBURG I: It's not just that the narrative becomes so ridiculous, it's that as usual all the other evidence we have contradicts it. George talking about punching Stuart. Stuart's letters. The sourcing voids. “The logbook recorded” nonsense, but a few pages before that the “logbook” is long lost, “unfortunately.” It's like Lewisohn forgot his continuity notebook.

But mostly it's the pictures that put the lie to “Stuart was all and Paul was off moping in a corner.” (And incidentally, very jealous of Pete getting all the best birds.)

I'm sorry but give me a fucking break.

One of my favorite AKOM Fine Tuning eps btw
