#william shears campbell

[bonithica-art]

alright this is the beginnings of a little interpretation i have of the paul is dead theory bc i think it’s interesting. to clarify, the one in the beginning is billy shears, not paul, he just looks very very similar to paul. hopefully i have motivation enough to continue this so that it actually gets interesting this is only just the beginning !

The fag of the day is William Shears Campbell

[geeky-fuckery]

Where's the problem?

That's clearly John, Original Paul, William ("Billy") Shears Campbell (New Paul), Ringo, and George. The reason most people can't figure out who the "extra" Beatle is, is they've been trained to see old and new Paul as the same person.

AI *knows*

'The Chaperone'

I once began writing a fic in late 2020, and completed it in late 2021. I planned on posting it, but never did. The fic is about Widdershins and his chaperone. Said chaperone is an OC, and making an OC original schism generation member made sense because it's pre-canon and it's a sandbox to play with. I called the fic, uh, 'The Chaperone', because I couldn't think of a better name.

Some point last year (late-mid 2022), I re-read The End. Due to what Ishmael said in passing, it had me going, "Hm, considering this canon detail, could he work as a chaperone?" And I ended up deciding to rewrite 'The Chaperone' with Ishmael replacing the OC. The rewrite is still a WIP, with the first section done. If I never get around to finishing the rest, I'm glad to share what I have finished.

Widdershins flattens his shirt, and sighs as he looks upward, letting the raindrops hit his face directly. He has been waiting on the bench for his chaperone to pick him up in the Beverage District for a few hours. Widdershins isn’t sure why the Beverage District is the location, but that what he was told this morning by Montgomery —Monty’s father— after picking his chaperone from a list of seven names: K.W. Anderson, I. Basehart, Alexander ‘Alex’ Denouement, Dorothea S. Markson, Y. Ichihara, Charlotte Haze, and William ‘Billy’ Shears-Campbell.

It was list that had him doom from the start. No captains of a submarine are listed. Six of the seven names Widdershins is familiar with he knows aren’t in any fields of his other interests, like mythology or poetry. Picking I. Basehart was because he had no other choice.

Widdershins continues to wait on the bench. He moves the balls of his feet up, and then moves the heel back down. Widdershins soon stares at the small suitcase resting beside him.

Widdershins doesn’t have an umbrella, because he thought the weather would be wrong. But he doesn’t mind waiting in the rain. He’s used to getting drench in the rain. However, he can only handle the rain for so long. What also doesn’t help is that underneath his shirt is an envelope. Inside it, is a letter meant for Basehart. Montgomery told him that Basehart must read it, and under no circumstances should Widdershins read, as well as get ruin.

“I hope the letter isn’t ruin by the rain. I don’t want to get in trouble with my chaperone before meeting him. Or her.” Widdershins gives out a sigh and leans back against the bench.

“It depends on the letter’s content,” answers a male voice. It’s a male voice that Widdershins unfortunately, know all too well. “Would you kindly give me the letter? I’m curious to know what my associate wrote.”

Widdershins slowly turns his head towards the direction of the voice. Standing several inches away in front of him is an old man with a beard. The beard isn’t what he would call a full-grown beard though. It’s smaller, as well as more neatly trim. Not a rogue hair in sight.

The man is wearing a grey rollneck sweater and white slacks, cover up by an old blue bridge coat that goes down to his knees. The man is frowning, and a ‘tch’ escape from his lips as he stays dry underneath the black umbrella he’s holding. Widdershins isn’t shock to hear the man’s disgust upon seeing him. Ishmael never like him for being an ‘outsider’, as well as other things.

Widdershins had hopes he wouldn’t see Ishmael again. Ishmael months ago, moved back to his home of New England for reasons no amount of eavesdropping could discover. To think he was free of Ishmael, only to once again be back in Ishmael’s care again.

He keeps his mouth set as he stands up, and pulls the letter from underneath his shirt. Widdershins hands the letter to Ishmael. He hates how the man’s hands are still the same. Warm and rough. Warm and rough that hurt when getting slap across the face.

Ishmael takes the letter, and then gives Widdershins the umbrella to hold. Widdershins watches the old man tears open the envelope, stuffing into his right pocket. Widdershins swallows the suddenly form lump in his throat as Ishmael reads Montgomery’s letter. Ishmael gives a scoff and shakes his head, folding the letter carefully, placing it into his left pocket.

“I thought you were a chemistry teacher, Ishmael,” says Widdershins, handing the umbrella back to the man. “Why are you on the list of chaperones? When did you even came back?”

The corner of Ishmael’s mouth twitches; Widdershins suspects he’s fighting the urge to say, “Call me Ish.”, or some variation. Ishmael keeps quiet as he holds the umbrella over himself, allowing Widdershins to get soak in the rain again. “Montgomery sent out a dispatch saying he needed volunteers to be potential chaperones to an unexpected group of neophytes a week ago. As my time in New England is now done, I responded, and came back. I never thought you’ll be part of that expected group, considering your background and circumstances.”

“And I never thought I’ll be force to learn about chemistry against my free will again.” Widdershins quickly slaps his hands over his mouth. He shouldn’t have said that at all.

“Believe it or not, I have other interests,” says Ishmael, narrowing his eyes. “I have a minor degree in oceanology, and have experience out on open-waters on ships such as the Pericles, the Penelope, and the Persuasion. Most importantly, I’ve done numerous deep-sea missions in the bathyscaphe Starbuck. I’m no stranger to the ocean. My experience at sea is greater than you think, Widdershins.”

Widdershins slowly removes his hands from his mouth, and briefly curls a lock of his wet hair upward. “I doubt it’s more than a submarine captain could experience. How will you be being my chaperone work if you only ever controlled a bathyscaphe? It’s a deep-sea submersible, yes. But it’s not a submarine.”

Ishmael keeps quiet as he outreaches a hand, and tucks the same wet lock of hair behind Widdershins’ ear. The man then gently pats Widdershins’ face, before turning around, and walk away. “All in due time. Now, would you kindly grab your belongings and follow me? I asked you to meet me in the Beverage District because my lodging is here. I don’t want you getting lost and in trouble in such a place like this.”

Widdershins rubs the patted spot on his face, and quickly grabs his suitcase. As he runs after Ishmael, Widdershins hates how unlucky he got with picking his chaperone. But he figures, having survived the man’s care once before, he can do it again. He endured much more and worse before Ishmael. Yes, Widdershins can endure it all over again.

im not new at all to the beatles music but i recently joined the online fandom and im sorta confused on this billy shears character 😅 i looker it up and the only thing google is telling me is that its ringo, but ive seen tons of fanart of paul in his sgt pepper outfit being called billy shears? Im just a bit confused

i think its supposed to be ringo, but its based on the paul is dead conspiracy theory. and in that they nick named the doppleganger that replaced Paul when he died is "billy shears" as it was in their sgt. pepper era with all the alter ego concept... but ithink it was originally william campbell (which gave the nickname billy?) im not too sure but thats what i know

Ray Milland and Ann Todd in So Evil My Love (Lewis Allen, 1948)

Cast: Ray Milland, Ann Todd, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Leo G. Carroll, Raymond Huntley, Raymond Lovell, Martita Hunt, Moira Lister, Roderick Lovell, Muriel Aked. Screenplay: Ronald Millar, Leonard Spiegelgass, based on a novel by Joseph Shearing. Cinematography: Mutz Greenbaum. Production design: Thomas N. Morahan. Film editing: Vera Campbell. Music: William Alwyn. 

So Evil My Love needs a better actress than the starchy Ann Todd to make its central premise work, that a respectable Victorian widow of an Anglican missionary would fall so hard for a handsome cad that she'd do anything from larceny to murder for him. It could also have used a more charismatic cad than Ray Milland in the role. We meet Olivia Harwood (Todd) on a ship returning to England from Jamaica, where she has buried her husband. When the ship's doctor asks her to help nurse some malaria patients on board, she agrees -- a little reluctantly, which is perhaps a sign that she's not as sweetly complaisant as she might be. One of the patients is traveling under the name Mark Bellis (Milland), which may not be his real name: He's an artist who makes his living by stealing valuable paintings and forging Rembrandts. A spark is lit between them, although we don't really see it because the actors have so little chemistry, and when they get back to London, Bellis makes his way to her doorstep. She owns a small house and lets out rooms, one of which he takes, though under the disapproving eye of her other tenant, the ostentatiously proper Miss Shoebridge (Muriel Aked). When Olivia allows Bellis to paint her, in an off-the-shoulder peasant blouse, she relaxes her defenses and passion blossoms -- or what passes for it in the screenplay if not on the screen. Meanwhile, Olivia makes contact with an old school friend, Susan Courtney (Geraldine Fitzgerald), who is unhappily married to the wealthy and domineering Henry Courtney (Raymond Huntley). Susan has confessed her unhappiness, and her love for another man, Sir John Curle (Roderick Lovell), in letters to Olivia. When the affair between Bellis and Olivia develops, he finds the letter and sees the possibility of blackmailing Courtney, who is in line for a peerage that would be derailed by scandal. Under Bellis's spell, Olivia gets deeper and deeper into a plot that turns lethal. There's potential for real heat in the story, but miscast leads and a talky script undo it.
