i keep forgetting to post this piece but here it is <3
inspo under the cut !
The Beatles when they were just small Liverpudlians with greasy hair
Feauturing-Pete Best & Stuart Sutcliffe
Are the rumors true? Is Paul really dead? 👻
Second Beatle is finally here!
Paul and Billy act very much like twins with the only exception being their personality. Paul is calm and collected while Billy is more unhinged and dangerous. Billy is a ghost bounded to Paul’s bass and can be summoned/utilized through specific bass lines. The duo is way more powerful when morphed into one character (ult)
word association with paul (1990)
The Beatles didn’t fit any known categories. My first impression was… how could somebody possibly create such music? The Beatles were different because they looked within themselves. They were singing to each other. Resonating to each other. Empathizing with each other. It felt like they, themselves, were in search of something. I’ve never seen any team like them. I think it was one of those things that happens in history once in 100 or 200 years. One thing I can say is that people are lonely, but when people do connect like they did, there’s joy, happiness, and satisfaction. It’s a miracle, I think. – Shimpei Asai, Beatles photographer
Help! (1965) dir. Richard Lester

an assortment of polish beatles-related posters i could find!
A Hard Day’s Night, Waldemar Swierzy (1965) / A Hard Day’s Night, Unknown, (1965, as it looks to be a poster used by polish movie theatres to dictate individual showtimes) / Help!, Eryk Lipinski (1967) / Yellow Submarine, Zygmunt Bobrowski (1970) / Unknown, Waldemar Swierzy (1978) / Yellow Submarine, Waldemar Swierzy (2009)
BONUS: VERY STRANGE poster from 1985 by Waldemar Swierzy. i wish i knew the context.

The Beatles
we're in such a strange era where men will just casually wax poetic for several paragraphs in mainstream media outlets about how john and paul were in love with each other but no one dares to explore the real questions (were they having gay sex? when were they having gay sex? what kind of gay sex were they having?) mate you're a journalist, do your job
Silly little Lennon-McCartney doodles I did because I was bored
(Was also testing around with artstyles)
Been drawing more George recently

Ringo Starr doodle ( Never in my life /ref have I drawn realism ) I might get jumped
Supposed to be Let It Be album Ringo, but I messed up on the angle a bit sob
gay beatles slash fanfiction has existed since beatlemania, unsurprisingly. so here's some stuff on that topic
"The most visible rock based BandFic community during this era is The Beatles. On August 18, 1960, The Beatles started playing under that name for the first time at an event in Hamburg, Germany. (Whelan) It would be four more long years before the band would make their American debut, an event that occurred on February 7, 1964 when they arrived in New York City for their first American tour. (Whelan) According to Barbara Ehrenreich, Elizabeth Hess, and Gloria Jacobs in their essay "Beatlemania: Girls Just Want to Have Fun," this event marked "the first mass outburst of the sixties to feature women – in this case girls, who would not reach full adulthood until the seventies and the emergence of a genuinely political movement for women’s liberation." This group, composed primarily of middle class, white teenagers, would form one of the core groups in the nascent bandfic community. In their adulation of the band, they would create many of their own fan related products including stories, zines and art. The fannish oral tradition that is alive today is implicit in the existence and circulation of fictional stories about band members during the early years of the band's history. Because the audience was young and not connected into a professional or underground movement, much of the material created by this group of fan girls never was published. The production, in most cases, likely consisted of one to five copies of a story being circulated only among the fan’s immediate peer group. The emergence of The Beatles, their popularity and their fans dedication to creating fan works was helped because of the era in which they appeared. The Beatles were at the forefront for many white, middle class teenage girls in helping them redefine their own definition of sexuality and their own definitions of what it meant to be female. (Ehrenreich) This was taking place in an era where there was that increased debate on subjects like "birth, a woman's obligation to society, and conception, bringing with it all of the bitterness and acrimony that have long surrounded these issues, beginning with perhaps the most obvious one of them all -- Sexism." (Rowland) Legal gender differences between men and women were beginning to fall. (Rowland) For young, white, middle class female Beatles fans, writing stories about the band was an opportunity to challenge their parents, to revel in the new ideas regarding male sexuality, to explore their own and more. They could write about marrying Ringo or having children with Paul McCartney. They could write about being noticed by the George Harrison at a concert and all that followed afterward. Most fans knew that none of those scenarios were likely to happen. Some deeply resented the idea of a member of the band becoming involved with any woman because it destroyed their own fantasies. They did not want to see that happen. It is highly probable, that given this and the fact that they were writing fictional stories featuring the Beatles, that some of the Beatles were written as homosexual if only as a way to ensure that the object of the fan's lust, since they could not be hers, would never belong to another female fan. The idea of writing male on male pairings to cut out other female fans is one that would reappear again and again during the next forty years as new bands were discovered and attracted new groups of young female fans."

それでも付き合いたての蜜月期はハンブルクからジョンは度々手紙を送り、それは目にしたミミが卑猥だと激怒するほど明け透けにラブラブなものだった。その手紙や、ジョンと愛し合ったという事実は永遠にシンシアだけのもの。ジョンの妻という重責、それでもそれはかけがえのない日々だったろうな pic.twitter.com/XWB9VftkVW
