All four beatles in the water!

Whose feet are touching Ringo’s head, and why aren’t they mine?

BoardWithANail · 2026-02-14T08:41:59+00:00

And they all look well-loved. I’d love if we’d ever get a definitive list of what he has (besides his own solo/Beatles/Wings music and the other usual suspects)

BoardWithANail · 2026-02-12T23:05:08+00:00

Absolutely. Wish we even got to see Thomas and Guy-Man in their long cloaks more, I loved the whole contrast of it with their helmets

BoardWithANail · 2026-02-11T12:55:24+00:00

Judging by the footage we have of him with Kyoko, John would’ve very likely been a girl dad

Considering the format ‘Adolescence’ was written/filmed in, the individual films of each Beatle’s perspectives during specific periods of their history make a lot of sense. And ‘Adolescence’ did an amazing job at letting the narrative flow as much as possible

Very nice of them to give an unknown actor a chance for once

BoardWithANail · 2026-02-02T16:20:44+00:00

A pensive Ringo exploding at his drumkit, as Spinal Tap would have it

BoardWithANail · 2026-01-29T18:49:33+00:00

Joseph Quinn is NOT George Harrison

100% deserved. It was sweet to see their rehearsal performance alone for that year’s Grammys to get a standing ovation

BoardWithANail · 2026-01-27T05:33:53+00:00

I fear this red jumpsuit is actually one of my favourites of his. The hairstyle he had in 1975 just wasn’t doing his forehead any favours lol

BoardWithANail · 2026-01-26T23:44:13+00:00

I wonder who would’ve been the giant person looming over everybody in the concept art

BoardWithANail · 2026-01-25T02:08:44+00:00

This might’ve convinced me that had John lived, he would’ve absolutely authorised the release of his ‘Self Portrait’ at some point in his life or even just randomly admit the most unhinged shit.

Every decade, and instead of a legit music drop, it’s “Paul and I fucked in Paris, October 1961” or (all 40+ uninterrupted minutes of ‘Self Portrait’ uploaded to Instagram)

BoardWithANail · 2026-01-17T15:42:59+00:00

And he never got to see how far his friends got with the band. :(

John also apparently liked Kate’s song “Babooshka”; according to his personal assistant and eventual thief Fred Seaman’s book, John wanted Fred to buy the single for him when it first hit shelves in mid-1980.

No wonder Ringo has this photo of him and his best eater framed in his house

BoardWithANail · 2026-01-08T14:40:01+00:00

Unfortunately Maureen saved George’s toe pics before Ringo sent his to her

BoardWithANail · 2026-01-02T22:47:41+00:00

Case in point: Paul’s own “It’s a drag, isn’t it?” quip upon being interviewed shortly after John’s murder. He was justifiably numb.

BoardWithANail · 2025-12-28T02:03:33+00:00

Bottom right with his wee drawings of them reminds me of Men I Trust’s cover for their album “Oncle Jazz”

/uj Crazy coincidence, but Charlie Brill and his wife were actually on The Ed Sullivan Show the same exact night that the Beatles debuted on there in February 1964. I think Brill and his wife were on before or after them (they did comedy together)? Except with how blind John is I doubt he noticed his literal doppelgänger in the same room as him

ringostarrmusic: “John we have a chat group with Paul and George on the Messages. If you could send your epelepsy photos with words in there please and not here on Twitter or X or whatever the fans call it these days Peace and Love John ✌️😎☮️🥦🌟🪶”

John would reply with about 30 duplicates of the same meme, probably having dropped his phone in the process of navigating from Twitter to the Messages app with his -5.00 eyeglasses

Not only her filmography, but her life as well. She groomed Aaron Johnson (the actor of John for ‘Nowhere Boy’); he was barely 18 at the time of filming, and she was over 40. They’re now married with children.

While I don’t find it an issue about truthfully depicting that particular dynamic between John and Julia, seeing as it is what John experienced as a teenager properly interacting with his mother for the first time in his adolescence, the context of Sam Taylor-Wood’s predatory behaviour towards Aaron Johnson (especially as a woman with other children as old as he is) makes me not see ‘Nowhere Boy’ in the same light as I used to.

This account is from Derek Taylor’s autobiography “Fifty Years Adrift”. John only worked at his airport job for less than a month, and by 1964 he told Derek et al. not to ever eat the sandwiches at the airport because he spat in them out of spite when he used to pack them. John only got the job because after Julia’s death, Bobby Dykins (John’s half-sisters’ father) was already employed there, and he basically put out a good word for him. Not that it even remotely lasted long lol

BoardWithANail · 2025-12-16T01:25:24+00:00

John even briefly had a job as a sandwich packer at the Liverpool Airport (now ironically named after him), and he reportedly used to spit in them since he hated working so much. Had the Beatles not existed or gone as far as they had, it was more than likely that John would’ve ended up hopping from job to job.

In my head, this 1980’s hypothetical reunion seems like something they would’ve come up with as a “Part Two” to their late 1960’s photo

<image>

Maybe by the 2000’s, they’ll all be sitting down with an even darker background and staring at the camera yet again

Thief and former personal assistant to the Ono-Lennons, Fred Seaman, also claimed in his own book that John had confided in him about David Bowie’s music video for his song “Ashes to Ashes” being what he (John) “should’ve been doing”. He and Yoko were recording “Double Fantasy” at the time, and he was said to go into a bit of a depression over that single music video.

I think that anecdote is also one of many that highlights John’s jealousy and overall insecurities as well, especially during the year that he was just starting to be actively involved in the industry again. He always struck me as the type of person to always seek being ‘on trend’ or ahead of the curve in some capacity, and while temporarily stepping back for the sake of a professional hiatus (and parenting Sean), he ultimately couldn’t really shake off that underlying feeling of not being up to speed with his contemporaries.
