Some cute little things
John and George visiting Stuart Sutcliffes room. Photographed by Astrid Kirchherr.
“After Stuart’s death, John and George really cared about me. They used to come and see me in my home. It was actually John’s suggestion. John said, ‘Can I see where he used to paint?’ So I said, ‘Of course, you can.’
“In that moment, I had to take a picture of them. I just grabbed this old chair and put it there. And John was so full of emotion, being in the same room where his friend was just painting, that he nearly burst out in tears. And George was all a bit worried. So I just said to George, ‘Well, stand behind him.’ You could see how quickly George understood what it was all about, death and being alive.
OMG I STAND BEHIND EVERY SINGLE WORD. JOHNNY IS THE UNDESERVED MARTYR OF TIKTOK AND OTHER PLATFORMS EXPLOITING MINORS (AND NOT JUST THEM)
Unpopular opinions
1) there's no such thing as an "unproblematic musician" . The only reason why they are seen as unproblematic is because they are able to mask their wrongdoings better than other artists.
2) I do not buy Paul's story of spending everyday with Linda with the only time being separated was when Paul was imprisoned. That's bollocks mate.
3) You lot make John Lennon worse than he actually is. Compared to what other rockstars did, e.g. Brian Jones being a sexual sadist and loved beating women with objects whilst forcing them into sex, John is lowkey mild (fuck him for abandoning Julian tho)
4) I'm convinced the majority of you only like George Harrison for his looks. He is more than just his looks
5) Last unpopular opinion, all the Beatles were equally shit (personality wise). There was no worse Beatle. I could go on about this, especially about how a Beatle is singled out for a wrongdoing whilst another Beatle, who also did the same thing, is let off the hook (both John and Paul saying the n word, but only John is singled out for this like tf??)
I was deep in the Beatles fandom back in 2018, and there was never this kind of shitstorm against John. All this nonsense was blown up by TikTok. I'll even go further: we actually saw him as the more morally pure one lol, in the sense that he was honest and kind of defenseless because of it – he had that aura about him. All this bitewife stuff is massively overblown. I hope it's just a phase and people will soon leave the murdered guy alone, who by his 40s had become a hardcore feminist and was crawling on all fours for Yoko 😏
(Sorry if my English is a bit rough, it's not my native language)
okay but can we PLEASE talk about the absolute LIES some of you spread about john lennon’s looks?? “ugly”?? “not handsome”?? are we LOOKING at the same man??
because let’s dissect this crime against humanity:
- that face is LITERALLY a medieval portrait come to life—aristocratic oval, sharp yet delicate, like someone carved him out of history itself
- the EYES. THE EYES. hypnotic almond shape, long straight lashes, the kind of gaze that could either seduce you or dissect your soul
- THE NOSE!!! (we don’t even need to elaborate. it’s a sculpture.)
- and his aura?? PURE SUNLIT CHAOS. a smiley, wild-haired ginger cat with the energy of a flaming comet. fire incarnate.
He had this magnetic pull that attracted everyone
this man was art in human form. if you disagree, i respect your right to be objectively wrong (and also fear for your vision).
...and yes, you could just fall asleep in those straight, bushy eyebrows of his...
Every fic listed is mclennon, includes sexual content and is on ao3. Do feel free to add onto the list if I’ve missed anything!
