Mors tua, vita mea

Lots of y’all have heard the story of the lovely song “Hey Ringo” that George wrote for Ringo, and it breaks my heart that there’s no recordings of George playing it so we don’t know what it sounds like.

So, as a birthday present for @rufusrant, I wrote some music for it. Here’s me singing/playing ukulele for it. (I’m a beginner on uke so it’s not great.)

Lyrics (by George):

Hey Ringo now I want you to know That without you my guitar plays far too slow And Ringo let me say this to you I’ve heard no drummer who can play it quite like you

Wait a minute Mr G. Stop flattering me My drums sound bare when your guitar’s not there

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Let me hear you playing

The Beatles Reveal Themselves!

While on a recent visit to France, the Fab Four were collared to fill in a special questionnaire based on questions asked by Marcel Proust, a famous French author who died at the beginning of this century. During Proust’s lifetime filling in the questionnaire became a craze among French people, for your answers are supposed to reveal your true character.

On the following pages we’ve reproduced each Beatle answer – in their own handwriting – just as they wrote them. And on page 56 you can read just what was revealed in their character.

Unfortunately, although John also filled in his questionnaire, his answers were unprintable!

these were made bc a friend or two mentioned they were struggling to get their faces distinct and so i offered my #thoughts

was requested to draw snotlout and came up with this idea

Eva's POV

I also like to think that in Eden giving seeds, leaves, or anything related to a tree and nature to someone is a well know, and quite fancy, way to ask someone to marry you, since trees are not only something super weird, but also has a lot of religious meaning for those who grew in Eden. If you give someone something related to a tree and they return the favour, at the eyes of Eden culture, you got married.

So when Grace gave Simon those seeds and little tree sprout, Simon broke in tears, for the emotion of having his own tree and been seen as spouse material, Grace's spouse. In a rush Simon took a leave of one of the trees of the forest and gave it to Grace, as a way to say that he accepts Grace purpose and hugs him with all he had.

In Eden kisses and anything carnal is seen as a waist of energy, resources and time, and probably sinful, with all the cultish- religious guilty-sacrifice mentality, so a hug means a lot.

Simon, super emotional and very happy, drowning in his tears, hugging Grace as if he wants to squeeze the life out of it: I promise you that I will be worthy of this honour.

Grace, thinking "wow, he really loves the nature, good for him to have a pasion", trying his best to return the hug without losing his breath, nor squashing the tree sprout: I know, I know, you are already worthy, buddy.

Simon just cries harder.
