I WAS READING OFMD FANFIC IN CLASS DURING A BREAK AND MY TEACHER CAME UP BEHIND ME AND WENT "fanfic. archive of our own. i can tell by the font" AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED MORE FEAR IN MY LIFE
PEOPLE DONT TALK ABOUT LUCIUS AND PETE IN THE BACKGROUND OF EPISODE 8 ENOUGH. LUCIUS IS SAT DOWN SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE AND PETE IS BRINGING HIM COCONUTS AND SITTING NEXT TO HIM. WHAT.
Octopus's garden is probably the saddest song in Beatles history and you would never know just by listening to it. It makes me cry almost every time I listen to it
guys im totally for shipping whatever you want, no matter the dynamic or canon ships, but if you genuinely think Pete is "bad for" Lucius or that they're "cringe" together, please get off my page 😭 they're in love my dude, you can ship sprizzy all you want but remember that

co: *stunned silence* "....In. His. Dreams. but yes there is. Izzy is bamboozled by only two people, Lucius, and Jim. he's scared of Jim, and confused as fuck by Lucius. so yes there's tension."
Ringo writing it while fighting with the rest of the Beatles. His ideas getting pushed aside until the very last album they would ever produce together before the breakup. Him and George working together to make it more stable and it being the last time they worked together as

Beatles. Everyone eventually coming together and letting Ringo have his moment as they knew it would be his last. And the overall point of the song just being that he wants to take him and the other Beatles away from the hellish existence they're forced to experience as artists,
And instead go back to the point in their lives where they all loved each other and loved the music they were making. Oh my god that song makes me so incredibly sad.
aq: "how has playing characters from a different time period affected how you feel about today?"
