I want a Walk Hard Spin off with Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Justin Long and Jason Schwartzman re-prising their roles as the Beatles. Mostly because I want to hear Paul Rudd's John Lennon saying 'Yoko' in increasingly absurd ways
Also on the subject of Yoko- the woman is 90, she lived through the bombings in WWII, she had two abusive husbands before she even got to John 'I don't know why I hit women' Lennon (so John was probably abusive to her as well). For most of the 70s Yoko had no idea where her daughter was because her psycho ex kidnapped her and then had the love of her life gunned down in front of her and had to raise their son in the public eye.
All while maintaining an almost aggressively optimistic outlook safe guarding what she can of her dead husband's legacy. She has never once spoken poorly of John and has always tried to emphasize his positive characteristics. She was and is one of the most influential performance artists who's work has reflected her desire for joy and her sense of humor. While their relationship has been rocky (to put it mildly) she has managed to get on good terms with her stepson, John's bandmates all speak highly of her, as does her son Sean.
All this while being publicly mocked over her looks, her ethnicity, her marriage, her art, her voice. Her traumas used as the basis for countless lurid exposes and memoirs trying to blame her for the flaws of her dead husband. Yoko Ono is made of fucking steel.
The big brother looked up from where he was tucking the blanket under Branch’s feet. “Sure thing,” he said with a light smile. “What would you like to hear? A lullaby?”
“I don’t know,” Branch mumbled as he nestled his head into the pillow. “You choose.”
Floyd could still see a crease of worry between his baby brother’s brows. He softly brushed a thumb over it in a silent reassurance that everything was going to be okay before he turned around to reach for their dad’s old guitar.
I think Floyd would often sing to Branch to get him to fall asleep, usually the songs and lullabies their parents sang when the older four were still little.
I know in the movie it seemed like they all left right after their fight, but I like to imagine that they just stormed off to cool off and that they actually left in the following days. And that this was the last song Floyd sang for Branch that night. :')
Both Sides Now (specifically this cover by Voncken)
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They snow and rain on everyone
So many things I would've done
But clouds got in the way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's clouds’ illusions, I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancin' way you feel
When every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughin' as you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions, I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now my friends, they’re acting strange
They shake their heads, and say I've changed
Well, something's lost, but something's gained
In living life each day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down
And give and take
And win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions, I recall
I really don't know life...
I really don't know life at all
My name is Skyler White, yo. My husband is Walter White, yo. He told me everything. And just so you know, my brother-in-law is a DEA agent and I will not hesitate to call him, not if I have to. Understood? This is your one and only warning. Do not sell marijuana to my husband.

The Beatles fandom on tumblr is so fucking insane to me. Like there's this weird, weird attitude of people claiming they're on Julian/Cynthia's side by bringing up some of the messy shit that happened with John/Yoko (it's always Yoko getting shafted especially). But the thing is Julian has made it clear he made a point to clear things up and get on better terms with Yoko especially because he felt he was hurting his brother Sean by their not getting along. (The brothers are super close and Sean is very close to his mother, Yoko . . . for obvious reasons).
Cynthia/Yoko/Sean have also really banded together in the last ten years ago to show support for Julian's photography. So like are you REALLY the John Lennon fan or Julian/Cynthia defense squad member you think you are if you keep bringing up not only their very real past traumas but also refuse to support the hard work they've put into healing????????
I came up with Floyd's (other) ex band mates and then I went a little insane about them. . . Anyway they're all alternative trolls who adopted him into their group. They play nu metal at underground gigs but mostly they just go to raves and get stoned out of their gourds.

I googled "90s rave photos" and had such a hard time choosing which to draw. i might make more of them in the future...
