MUSICIAN: Wild Life, the debut Wings album of 71, was done in a pretty compressed span of time. The track that still stands out is "Dear Friend."

MCCARTNEY: That was written for John—to John. It was like a letter. With the business pressures of the Beatles breaking up, it's like a marriage. One minute you're in love, next minute you hate each other's guts. I don't think any of us really ever got to the point where we actually hated each other's guts, but the business people involved were pitting us against each other, saying. "Paul's not much good, is he?" or "John's not all that good, heh, heh, heh."

It's a pity because it's very difficult to cut through all that, and what can you do? You can't write a letter saying, "Dear pal of mine, I love you"—it's all a bit too much. So you do what we all seemed to do, which was write it in songs. I wrote "Dear Friend" as a kind of peace gesture.

No matter how much all the business was, whenever we did have a good phone conversation or anything, maybe one or two of those things, those gestures, got through. And luckily before John died we had got it back to that, thank the Lord, because otherwise it would have just been terrible. I would have brooded on the fact that we were always bitching with each other forever. We ended up with a good relationship, which was something. Some consolation.

Interview with Paul McCartney for Musician Magazine (NO. 112, February 1988)

#Paul McCartney #The Beatles #John Lennon #Dear Friend #Interviews #Musician Magazine #1988 #(We usually tend to focus on their tense and heated phone calls)#(À la “pizza and fairytales” & “Kojak”)#(And tend to discredit their more peaceful calls as just simple talk about baking bread and their kids)#(But honestly these two were speaking to each other far more than we’ll ever know)#(Paul mentions in another interview that during the times where everyone thought they hated each other they were always still speaking)#(And no one knew)#(Also there’s something a bit endearing about them talking about normal regular life things)#(It reminds me of a interview John & Yoko did in the early 70s)#(Where Yoko says something pretty interesting)#(She noticed that when John and Paul or John and any other of the Beatles in fact met up)#(They never talked about anything with respect to the Beatles years)#(They always wanted to speak about the years before the fame–Hamburg/Liverpool–when things were much simpler - the fondness was apparent)#(I’m not saying there wasn’t any guilt or things left unsaid)#(I mean that’s to be expected considering the way John’s life was cut too short)#(But I really do think that sometimes those 1 or 2 gestures got through)#(Anyways this got too long and it’s always a bit difficult to explain your thoughts through tags so I’ll stop now)

there's a fine line between 'this is a fetish' and 'this is just trying to appeal to young children'

#those dress up ads are a really good example of this. theyre tailor made for a sub 10yo audience #stinky feet= the grossest thing imaginable and the worst insult ever to a kidlet #the pregnancy and baby stuff=dress up games are targeted at young girls and many girls are genuinely obsesed with the concept of motherhood #it just fascinates them because They have a mommy and they are the baby but what if They were the mommy?#the romance and cheating stuff= romance and relationship troubles are what Adult media is about. and caring about it makes them #feel more mature. while also letting them imitate the adults in their lives by caring about it and pursuing media that focuses on it #the bright colors. simple designs and emphasis on what a little kid whos entire aesthetic identity is based on the women in #mommies magazines is also a big tip off those ads are for kids #why are they on this app? ad companies use tumblr to test out ads before serving them to other platforms.#multiple staff members and employees of some ad companion have confirmed this #but yeah i promise you you all can stop making the same 'is this a fetish'? post about an ad targeted at little babies who are old enough #to steal mommies credit card

RINGSIDE WRESTLING : JANUARY 1997

Ringside Roundup

All the News from Coast-to-Coast

We would like to welcome everyone to our Ringside Roundup. Since our last issue quite a bit has happened on the wrestling scene. For starters the nWo continues to grow. Depending on who’s counting, there appears to be eight members in the organization: Hollywood Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Ted DiBiase, the Giant, “Six” (formerly known as the 1-2-3 Kid), the “fake” Sting and the new CEO of security, Vince.

If Vince looks familiar it’s because in his former life he was Ted DiBiase’s bodyguard, Virgil. More members are expected to be added to the nWo in the very near future. The Nasty Boys will be nWo members shortly and both Bam Bam Bigelow and Bret Hart have been mentioned as possible nWo members as well.

[ECW head honcho Paul E. Dangerous, along with wrestlers Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Taz, Bubba Ray Dudley and Pitbull #2 were at ringside for the start of the WWF “In Your House” pay-per-view, but they didn’t last long. By the end of the first match, WWF security had asked them to leave. Is this the opening salvo in another inter-promotional war?]

Hart incidentally is a free agent and has yet to resign with the WWF. Meanwhile, the Hitman is being wooed heavily by the nWo. They have reportedly offered him a three year contract at a million dollars a year as well as a guaranteed three-movie deal with one of Ted Turner’s movie companies.

Right now Bret is living in an apartment in Los Angeles and he is taking acting lessons. In addition he had been going on auditions and making the rounds of the TV and movie studios. Although Bret would like to make it in Hollywood on his own, Ted Turner’s deal sounds awfully enticing.

[Will Bret Hart resign with the WWF or join the nWo?]

Just when the nWo and WCW have begun to fight it out, the WWF and ECQ have also begun an interpromotional war. At the recent “In Your House” pay-per-view from Philadelphia the ECW contingent was in full force. Sitting in the first row were Tommy Dreamer, the Sandman and Paul E. Dangerously while in the lodger were Saturn from the Pit Bulls, Bubba Ray Dudley and Taz. As soon as the ECW guys entered the Core States Arena, the ECW chants begun. Then the moment the pay-per-view went on the air the Sandman, Tommy Dreamer and Paul E. began to taunt Savio Vega.

[“Zillionaire” Ted, who seems to be providing the New World Order with much of their financial backing, shares a moment with RINGSIDE editor George Napolitano.]

At one point the Sandman even threw beer in Savio Vega’s face. Finally when the ECW crew refused to stop they were escorted from the arena. Obviously their outburst gave ECW the international exposure that they have been craving. If nothing else ECW received more exposure out of this than they ever imagined. Paul E. owes “super fans” Charlie Vladimir and Chris big time for giving up their usual first row WWF seats so that the ECW guys could sit there.

[The Nasty Boys are rumored to be nWo-bound]

First there was a fake Stinge. Now there are a fake Diesel and Razor Ramon too! While the “orginal” Diesel and Razor Ramon, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall respectively, are now doing their thing in WCW as part of the NWO as “the Outsiders,” the WWF has replacements to reprise the roles of Diesel and Razor in the WWF. Playing “Diesel” is Glenn Jacobs better know to WWF followers as the awful Issac Yankem. The Razor Ramon character is being played by Rick Bogner: AKA Big Titan in Japan.

During an ECW appearance since Titan came out as “Slice and Dice” Ramirez and in all honesty he was a better “Razor” than Razor! With Brian Lee still around, chances are good than he may reprieve his role as the Underfaker, I mean the Undertaker, should the real Undertaker leave for WCW when his WWF contract expires in a few months. One really knows what the WWF hopes to prove by having two other wrestlers portray characters that have since left the company. On the face of it, this does appear to be a very stupid move, but it may actually work out to the WWF’s advantage as the fans will surely boo the two new guys unmercifully. If they get the reaction that they are hoping to, the WWF will have created two new characters that should get a lot of negative reaction.

[Playing “Diesel” these days is Glenn Jacob’s better know to WWF followers as the awful Issac Yankem]

The September 23 editions of Monday Nitro and Monday Night Raw were sensational. The highlight on the first hour of Nitro was the WCW tag team title match between Public Enemy and Harlem Heat. When the final verdict was rendered, Public Enemy was declared the new WCW tag team champions by controversial referee Nick Patrick.

During the second hour the nWo took WCW hostage. The nWo took control of the set and ran the entire show. The Giant was the ring announcer; “Billionaire” Ted DiBiase, Hall, Nash, and Hollywood Hogan served as the color commentators; while new CEO of Security, Vince, held Eric Bischoff in check the entire hour.

On Raw, meanwhile, Marc Mero defeated Faarooq to win the vacant Intercontinental title and the WWF introduced their new “Razor.”

Besides having WWF Intercontinental champion their are new WWF tag team champions, too. On September 22, at the Philadelphia “In Your House,” Owen Hart and the British Bulldog defeated Billy and Bart of the Smoking Gunns to win the tag team title. Now the Gunns are at odds with Billy feuding with Bart. Meanwhile, the devious Sunny is the real reason that the Gunns are at odds.

[The lovely Kimona Wanalaya is among the talent being used by the new AWF!]

Brian Armstrong, better known to WWF fans as the Roadie, has returned to the Federation. On his return, Armstrong revealed that it was he and not Double J who actually was the voice behind Jeff Jarrett’s song “With My Baby Tonight.” This time around however, Armstrong will be wrestling and not working as someone’s gofer.

Doug Furnas and Dan Kroffat made their ECW debut and wrestled Sabu and Rob Van Dam in an incredible tag team match. After the 30-minute time limit had expired neither team had captured a fall. Look for Furnas and Krofatt to wind up in the WWF.

Look for the American Wrestling Federation to make its 1996 debut on your local television station within the next few weeks, On September 15, AWF Champion Tito Santana, Sgt. Slaughter, Road Warrior Hawk, Missy Hyatt, Kimona Wanalaya, Ken Resnick, Rico Suave and CEO Paul Alperstein were in New York at the All Star Cade to announce that the AWF were coming back on the scene. With the way WCW and the WWF have been drawing in the past several months it looks like there is room for another organization. That’s all for this issue. Look for us again on your favorite newsstand next month!

Until then, see you at RINGSIDE!

I'm not dying until either I finish all my fics or there is an animatic adaptation with Spiderverse levels of animation about A True Story from Lucian of Samosata.

Look man this thing is like 20x more crazy than any sci-fi movie and I need it adapated. IT'D BE GREAT.

"But Maracuya why do you think we need one our society is healthily functioning without it—"

River of wine

Cheese islands

Women trees. Or is it tree women?

Men that procreate and can take out their eyes

PUMKING PIRATES

Sea milk

Civilization inside a whale

There is a sort of hell for writers that claim their stories are true (oh how funny the main character is)

The Banquet of Beans– an actual chapter title.

A Frick ton of other weird things AND ALL OF THIS IN OUTER SPACE—

The book ending with a To Be Continued and then never continuing it (he's just like me fr).

#NAH #ITS CRAZY #I LOVE IT #ITS SO CRAZYYY #earliest known work of science fiction— and has not been topped by others of the level of crack #whatever they were smoking i want it #a true story #lucian of samosata #the thing that gets me the most is in the introduction in the book by the translators(?) of the story:#'While others had declared themselves poets #historians. philosophers. Lucian comes forth as a man of letters. Had he lived to-day. he would have edited a news paper written #written leading articles and kept his name ever before in public in the magazines.#For he possessed the qualities. if he avoided the defects. of the journalist.'#— and thats gives me such an emotional feeling because it really shows that a person can be so simple and yet write something so beautiful #and just imagine the wild ideas others had at that time that we will never know or never get to know #because its all lost in time #AGHGAJSHKA #i should also be talking about the translators because AH the story of being forgotten AND I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE INTRODUCTION AHSHKA #comedy #ancient rome #roman plays

reading cooking magazines just keeps reminding me about this one take I saw in a Tumblr I followed years back that was so bad I'm still annoyed at it about how the "academization of cooking is bad and introducing 'colplicated terms' just increases the barrier of entry and is misogynist actually"

It was such a bad post man

#you dont know how much i love this test kitchen magazines #i love when people try recipes over and over again and break it down Why things Happen #also im just so fucking annoyed that someone implies that the concept of autolysis is complicated enough to be anti intellectual #you can keep things simple and also delvw a bit more shorthand this things can coexist #you COULD just accept things happen because they do or you could try to break it down and use the Concepts #somewhere else #i think i can make a line connection into why that post bothered me so much but i think id sound insane so i shant

Honestly ads are just so evil at this point that it's simply a matter of safety to use an ad blocker (not "Ad Blocker", as far as I know they got bought out by ad companies ages ago and it's very compromised, uBlock Origin is what I use and is still good as far as I know)

I was browsing a site, and then suddenly a new tab opens up which thankfully my ad blocker was like "this is sketchy as shit, I'm not opening it unless you tell me to", but this is my point. It's literally dangerous just to click pages without an ad blocker

Cause here's the thing, was it trying to insert malware my my computer? We can't say

Are sites that are willing to use ads that will open a new tab just by clicking around more likely to be unscrupulous, and are ads willing to do that particularly suspicious? That's just a fact

Ads have shown themselves to range from intrusive and annoying at best (very few exceptions to this) to literally just trying to get some horrible piece of malware on your computer, and I don't want either of those, so ads have lost their existence privileges

#they can have those privileges back never #and like ads aren't inherently evil #one site I used to visit would run simple banner ads which were usually bought by people selling stuff related to what the site was about #and I'm still very happy with the plushie I pre ordered as soon as the ad popped up because it was exactly what I wanted #and I order the whole set as they slowly released more #and I was very glad they made an ad to inform me this was something that was going to exist soon #but that's a targeted ad to a targeted audience and it didn't have to track me to get that level of targeting #it was like putting a 'tractor wash' ad in a tractor magazine... you figure those people might want to buy that from you #advertising isn't inherently evil and can even be a good thing... but the way corporations at large have been approaching it #that is inherently evil and I won't play ball with it #well I mean look at those glass snakes I always keep queuing back up in reality that's an ad for that person's work #but I just think they're nice to look at and want to remember they exist should I ever eventually have money and an interest #and I just want to look at them #ads that inform are fine #but screw the rest of ads

!! suggestive (and mini smut) - minors dni; bimbo (fem)!reader has simon wrapped around her pinky (we luv to see it!); the squad’s here too; hinted age difference (30s v. 20s)

when they ask him where you two met, simon always tries his best to tamp down the smile threatening to grace his lips before clearing his throat and answering, "in the ER."

the questions that follow are always repetitive: 'what, why?', 'what happened?', 'how did things even go from there?' the last one is often paraphrased into some other versions, but the sentiment remains – people always get surprised, reduced into awkward stumbling because how could you even segue into a romantic relationship from having met in the ER?

well, simon thinks, it's actually quite fucking simple.

it was three in the morning and simon was in the lobby, waiting to be called in, when he saw you walk in: you clutched your broken heeled shoes in your hands, your beautiful legs were bearing injuries and cuts, and your hair was a wild mess. then, you ambled towards a baffled triage nurse.

"hi!" simon recalls your melodic voice echo, sounding too hyper even when you looked all banged up. "can i use y'r restroom? we got kicked outta the club."

simon was so focused on you that he didn't even notice the pack of girls following behind you, all of them looking just as haggard and bruised up. one of your friends was actually worryingly injured, so it’s no shock when the nurse rushed towards her, slightly panicked and confused before steering your friend away, leaving you there in the lobby.

then, you turned around, frowning at having been ignored, and it gave simon the best vantage point of finally seeing your face. he swears his heart stuttered in his chest, his lungs constricting, because holy shit, you are beautiful.

"then the rest is history," simon ends, pulling you close to him. any closer and you would have ended on his lap – something he preferred, anyway – but johnny continues to stare at the two of you with a slack jaw, his eyes almost bulging out in confusion so simon tries to keep it civil.

you giggle, and simon watches as the rest of the squad snap their eyes on you, as though expecting you to grace them with a better explanation. but simon knows that you probably don't even know what's going on, having been busy tapping away on your phone, your acrylics making distinct clacks as they hit the screen.

"i love the history channel," you singsong, batting your eyelashes as you give them a dimpled smile. "simmy-" simon almost coos at the nickname you gave him, "and i looove watching the penguins."

simon presses a kiss on the top of your head, ignoring the bewildered looks his squad is shooting him.

"that's the 'animal planet', love. not the history channel," simon corrects gently, rubbing his hand down your side.

"oh!" you say, unbothered by your mistake. "okay!"

and that was that.

"what the fuck," simon hears johnny wheeze out only to up making choking noises when kyle elbows him. simon ignores them, choosing to watch as you turn back to your phone, mass-retweeting a series of post made by the magazine catalogue that you've been following.

cute.

---------

"fuck," simon hisses, feeling the sharp edge of the kitchen knife slicing through the first layer of his skin. he watches the blood bead, trickling down his finger, and simon wipes it before it can stain the pristine green – "sage!" you tutted to him once – countertops.

"si?" you ask, padding towards the kitchen at the clamour. he feels you press yourself to his side, your perky tits nuzzling his robust muscles. "what's goin- y'r bleeding!"

he grunts, frowning at himself for having made you worry. he moves to reassure you that he's okay, but you're already tugging him out of the kitchen, your smaller hand wrapped around his thicker wrist.

god, he loves seeing the size difference.

you're wearing his military shirt, the material sliding down your body beautifully, before pooling just above your perky ass. simon unabashedly stares at the way your ass jiggles – hidden underneath the tiniest booty shorts he knows you own – his throat bone dry and his sweats filling up all of a sudden.

he barely realizes that you two are in the bathroom until you're steering him towards the edge of the bathtub before twisting to fish the emergency kit from the floor cabinets. simon almost groans at the perfect shape that your ass makes when you bend over, feeling himself throb with raging desire.

you pull out a pink emergency kit and skitter towards him again, slotting yourself between his spread legs. simon raises his hand – the uninjured one – to grasp at your waist, sliding it down to your hips, before giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"it's nothin' fatal, sweet'art," simon mumbles, thumbing your hipbone as he tries to comfort you.

you're still pouting at him when you say, "sure, i guess. but lemme help you?"

and who is simon to say no to that?

"of course, love."

he lets out a quiet chuckle when you press your glossed lips on his forehead, unbothered even when your lips leave a sticky stamp on his skin.

he watches you disinfect his wound with a strawberry-scented sanitizer before wrapping a pink adhesive bandage around it. his worries about having his open wound disinfected by a glittery sanitizer fade away when you picked his hand up to place a kiss on his now-bandaged finger.

glitter-induced infections no longer matter. not when simon's getting nursed to full health by such a pretty girl.

he licks the back of his teeth, clenching his jaw, and thinks, you deserve a reward, don't you, sweetness?

---------

johnny blanches when he sees the bandage around simon's finger. "LT, what in fuck's name is that?"

his loud voice snags the attention of garrick and their captain who ambled their way towards him upon hearing the commotion. garrick chokes on nothing when he sees the pink bandage that simon's sporting.

"bandage," simon replies, pride heavy in his voice. "from my girl."

johnny whirls and shoots a pointed look towards kyle and john. kyle is the one who breaks the silence.

"…are they safe for use?"

"what's the cat even bandaging?" johnny adds.

simon huffs, flicking his finger up to give the squad a better view. "firstly, this is 'hello kitty'. secondly, you questionin' my girl’s ability to care for me?"

john coughs, looking away, kyle arches a brow at him like the answer should be obvious, and johnny gulps loudly, before mumbling, "...yes."

simon sniffs, unable to blame them. "yeah, well, don't."

the squad is still quiet. waiting.

simon finally gives in and replies, "i checked. they're safe for use."

he rolls his eyes at their dramatic sigh.

"that's good to hear," john says before clapping his hands together once, urging them to disperse.

simon grumbles all the way back to his room.

---------

simon loves his pretty, dumb girlfriend to death.

he loves seeing you dolled up – skimpy dresses made of silk material paired with heels that could honestly stab someone to death. he also loves seeing you in nothing but his ratty jumpers – loose black sweaters stopping just after your crotch and the sleeves falling past your fingers.

but nothing tops seeing you naked and crying for him.

nothing could ever top this – your legs folded close to your chest, your ankles hooked on his shoulders, your pretty make up running as tears trickle from the corners of your eyes and flood your cheeks.

he thrusts his fingers in your cunt again, breathless when it punches out another slick gush of your squirt, drenching you two even more. you squeal, body locking, your hips lifting from the bed. simon has to press down on your belly to keep you stable.

"siii!" you cry out, thrashing on his hold, but simon just kisses your leg as he continues to fuck his fingers in you.

"shh," simon murmurs, feeling so choked up at the sight you make. "one more for me, yeah?"

you moan out a reply, a garbled mixture of 'yes' and his name, before wrapping your hands around his arms, your acrylics digging into his skin. simon doesn't even register the pain, still too caught up at fingering you to feel the way you're clawing him.

still too caught up at how perfect you are for him.

(later, when he checks the mirror and sees the angry red welts, simon purrs at the sight of them. because simon loves being marked by you, doesn't matter how, as long as he has bearings of your pleasure. pleasure he gave you.)

---------

simon receives a video message from you. it’s nothing long or conspicuous, but simon still chokes when he finally gets to watch it.

because in the video, you’re wearing simon’s old varsity shirt on top of your university cheer uniform.

“look!” you chirp, twirling for him. “found this in the closet!”

simon slams his captain’s door open and demands a vacation leave.

---------

the lieutenant has a new tattoo and johnny doesn't know what the actual shit it's supposed to be.

it looks like a wriggly blob of a... cloud? a cotton ball? candy floss?

it was still a somewhat fresh tattoo so simon never truly shows it off – johnny doesn't even know if it's worthy of being shown off – until one night at a bar, simon rolls up the sleeves of his jumper and leans to the squad to point at the blob.

"lookit," he slurs, tipsy and just a touch giddy.

finally, johnny cheers to himself before reaching forward to poke just beside the scribble.

"what's it?"

"mittens," their lieutenant croons, smiling down at his skin like a weirdo.

johnny has seen enough mittens to know that whatever that fucking squiggle is isn't mittens.

"uhm," kyle says, thankfully thinking along the same lines as johnny. "is it?"

"yeah," simon says wistfully, drunken in a lovesick way. "s'my girl's cat. she drew it f'r me."

oh. well, fuck. now that's just too cute.

wait.

"that's a drawing of a cat?" johnny rasps out, choking on his spit before turning to study the tattoo again.

it's still a fucking blob.

christ.
