hi im here to ask you to please please elaborate on john playing 5d chess with truthers in a modern day au
(personally i think he'd get a quick out of being like women women i love women and girls in interviews but then mentioning queer movies/recommending songs by obscure queer artists)
BEAR IN MIND HE WOULD DO ALL OF THIS, REGARDLESS OF THE VERACITY OF THE THEORY
Okay, so truthers tend to develop a canon of seemingly innocuous things their subjects do which "mean something" right? For example tumblr k*ylors think that when Karlie Kloss wears orange, it means she's about to do a "stunt" lol.
So in my head, John is overly read-up on this shit and like purposely messes with these "codes".
Imagine a scenario where the Modern AU McLennon Tinhats have decided John wears denim or something to signal he's in love with Paul, NOW imagine a scenario where the fandom gets Larry levels of out of hand and Brian is forcing them to address this.
Paul starts a livestream going like "Hey everyone, we're just confirmin' that, while John and I are good friends, there's nothin' else going on :)" and John pipes up from off screen "That we know of. Inconclusive, if you ask me." and Paul goes like "John what the fuck this is live??" And then Paul starts getting accused of throwing his gay fans under the bus (*paul scoff* "I wouldn't THINK of doin' anythin' of the SORT with a bus of all things!!!") and he does another livestream all frustrated and flustered like "Listen, look, I know it's good fun for some of you, but the, er, the people who take it too far, it's really– It's gettin' out of hand, y'know, and it's frustratin' when it isn't true y'know–" and John runs into the frame with a denim jacket like "Would a gay person wear THIS?????? checkmate mclennons."
And now the tinhats start theorizing they're going through a rough patch and John looks up from his phone after checking tumblr and goes "Bad news. We're about to break up :(" and Paul's like "I'm about to break YOU up."
Also, John starts quoting like, the most popular McLennon fic verbatim in public. Also he anonymously feeds big truther blogs some true but irrelevant insider information to gain their trust and then sends them the most batshit stuff.
Sorry I could go on ALL DAY.

not "i ship them" as in "i want them to kiss" but "i ship them" as in "i think it'd be funny" or "they're thematically interesting" or "i like the idea of them relying on and supporting each other in the ways typically expected of a romantic relationship." im either playing 5D relationship chess or im doing smth really wrong over here i think

See though shit like this, I'm a soft genki boy and what not as we joke about and I'm not edgy or cool at all, but when it gets down to it I am the one over here that is like "hey you need to mute shit a bit you can blur with me come here bro" and then brushes it off and goes "anyways lemme finish my drawing now"
Tbh with the whole dysphoria stuff I really do though come to find it super great how integrated and strong our dynamic is with one another. Cause we do really balance each other out. You probably could never get me to actually look at this stuff or take it seriously because I really like my known comfort and while I REALLY want to explore things to help myself grow, I am very very bad at getting myself out of my avoidance and comfort in the known misery than risking the unknown joy
So I really need the push or someone to take the lead to actually get anything properly growing at any substantial rate or to get my needs met to the standard they deserve to be met - and XIV's really good at that either by taking charge himself or him bullying me into being out of my comfort zone
And XIV really can do almost anything he puts his mind to (other than being a slightly hinged individual that doesn't appear when you google Evil Alter /j /lh) but specifically with dysphoria and honestly in general he is very "I will do it myself" as well as just really prone to black and white thinking that is a byproduct of how good he is at getting everything he wants so while he is good at charging ahead in vanguard, if he ever comes to the rare moment where he feels he might not get what he wants, he's prone to freezing up cause its GENUINELY an entirely foreign concept and feeling he never had. Plus dysphoria for him can be really debilitating to the point his really big Mega mind Mega Brain over there playing 5D chess 24/7 can't really see things straight and tbh for him it never stops being that bad
So now that I'm really not as adverse to sexuality stuff, I can look at some of the stuff he dies over and die with him for a minute then calm down and ground a bit better and actually think a bit and go "hey dude, its actually easy dw dw heres a plan now go rest your burnt out brain"
Cause tbh I'm a lot better with finding ways to thrive regardless of everything and he's a lot better at making everything possible to thrive in. Which makes us a really OP duo cause I might not be able to fix the environment or help us in any large long term substantial way, but I can make sure we thrive despite the desolate land we made our home - and XIV struggles with thriving when there seems to be no way out of the immediate shit environment, but as long as there is a way to fix the environment he will make the long term changes to allow us to thrive in the long run.
(anyways im tired i should sleep before I get incoherent)

Same anon as the one who sent that last one you answered. You don't need to respond to this publicly, but I did wanna say I definitely agree that GNC transmascs also have their own issues, like, transmeds primarily affect GNC transmascs for example. I definitely didn't mean for it to come off like I was undermining the problems that they face, I just wanted to add my two cents with having issues with being expected to be feminine. Though it's possible you understood this and were just further clarifying just in case, but also just in case, I wanted it to be clear that that was absolutely not my intention. Thank you for answering my question anyway though! I think that's some very good insight on why this is an issue.
That's fair! I try not to make assumptions here, I just also really want to avoid giving the impression here that I think gnc transmascs are somehow the majority, have it easier, etc.
It's a tricky balance. I want voices to be heard, and I try to make this blog a platform for those voices; especially when they're talking about experiences I don't see talked about very often. But I do have to be careful that folks know where I'm coming from- because this is still my blog- and don't take those kinds of posts as an indication that I hate them or want to silence them, too.
I appreciate you clarifying and understanding. I think your experiences are valid, and your voice needs to be heard; I just want to be clear about who's to blame for those things, because it's definitely not other transmascs. Not because I think you're implying otherwise, but because I don’t want anyone to feel like I‘m implying that, or would allow that implication to go unchecked here.

bungo stray dogs for the pick a fandom thing where you answer questions about it I think?
The first character I first fell in love with: Dazai!! He's so fun and just <3 i care for one bastard man trying to do better
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: tachihara and higuchi!! Tachiiiii look at my boy!! also MUSHITARO. i love him sm, his ability is SO FUN, i support him sm!!
The character everyone else loves that I don’t: mmmm im not sure who would belong here? I guess jouno from the hunting dogs? he's fun but not a fave
The character I love that everyone else hates: no clue on the state of fandom discourse but i've become a bram stoker stan. he just wants to sleep and yknow what i think we should give it to him! let him take his nap!!
The character I used to love but don’t any longer: n/a! I like p much everyone!
The character I would totally smooch: sigma and chuuya! I am a stan for one casino manager and one mafia executive, they both deserve the world!!
The character I’d want to be like: i WISH i had the level of brains that dazai and fyodor have, they're out here playing 5D chess and trying to plan circles around each other and im here like 'yeah i totally understand whats going on'
The character I’d slap: dazai (affectionately)
A pairing that I love: kunikidazai!! also chuuatsu and chuuaku!! I really like rarepairs for bsd too, theyre fun! also not a rarepair but ranpoe is cute,,, and atsulucy is fun!
A pairing that I despise: again, not despise by any means but i think skk is more entertaining if we look at it through the lens of exes who had a bad breakup. it makes all their interactions SO much funnier

I saw a quote floating around here (god i wish i had a link to it but i can’t remember where it’s from) but its basically from an interview with john i think from 1970 where hes being asked why paul lost interest in their business and apple and john replies something like that’s what i want to know and says he hopes paul hasn’t lost interest. anyway i was pretty struck by the because i thought john was done with the beatles by that time? tbh im kinda confused with the he said he said of the band break up. wondering if youve seen that quote and what you make of it? also do you think john was ready to break up the band in 1969/1970? not sure if you have already answered something like this so sorry if i missed it !
Hi anon! I know the quote and lucky for you, my tagging system has once again saved our skins B)
Here's the quote you're referring to.
Why do you think he has lost interest in Apple? JOHN: That’s what I want to ask him! We had a heavy scene last year as far as business was concerned and Paul got a bit fed-up with all the effort of business. I think that’s all it is. I hope so. February 1970
Understanding John's feelings re:Paul post-68 is generally very difficult, however: I personally don't think John was engaged in some 5D chess-game (at least not most of the time); I think he was often genuinely ambivalent, torn between wanting a clean slate and being afraid of the unknown replacing the comfortably familiar.
I think John desperately wanted his situation to change and didn't fully know how to do that without upending his entire life – I can believe he did genuinely want the band to end, or at least to drastically change the commitment and workflow the group had adopted, but I don't believe he was fully cognizant of all that would actually entail and I definitely don't believe he understood how this decision would impact Paul, who – unlike John, who really wanted to divorce his identity from the band (even if he might've had trouble actually achieving this) – saw his self-worth as inextricably linked to the band and his partnership with John. ("...the terrible disappointment of not being of any use to anyone anymore" as Paul would later describe his feelings immediately following John's breakup announcement.)
So I think there's two things at play here: 1) John was somewhat wagering that quitting the band was going to solve his problems and was aware that this was a risky bet, and 2) John did not remotely anticipate that Paul would interpret his "divorce announcement" as a flat-out rejection of him as a person.
There's also the possibility that John wanted Paul to reject his quitting and try to "win him back", which isn't implausible, though, as I've said, I believe that he was, from a purely creative perspective, more or less ready or curious to move on. (Perhaps, had Paul offered some overhaul of how they fundamentally functioned as a band, John would've reconsidered.)
A thing I find interesting about that quote is that, one thing John and Paul often cited as the thing that caused their fallout was that they let "business get between them" yet John didn't try to legally separate himself from Apple, the very business that had caused them a lot of legal and financial heartache. Not sure what I make of it myself, since obviously Allen Klein was a huge factor, money being a big reason John liked him and Paul disliked him.
Hope this helps, obviously this is a nuanced and difficult to parse topic.
