★General memories

• My other timelines are from The Beatles movies and cartoon, I don’t have many mems and I consider my canonmates from this tl to also be for those.
• I remember being a casual fan of The Beatles while I was in my other band, catching their shows whenever I could. I slowly became friends with John first then the others, and eventually they told me to dump my other band and join theirs. Obviously I did.
• I was only into guys, John and Paul were bi (and definitely together), and I think George might've been straight? I remember when me, John, and Paul would talk about what we found attractive in guys or something similar George would just kind of awkwardly go along with it. It's ok though because I felt the same way when they all talked about girls.
• John and Paul were together and honestly really obvious about it if you asked me, I don't know how people didn't catch on. Cynthia didn't know, I don't know if John ever told her when they broke up, but Yoko knew and was fine with it. I think the two of them pretty much had an open marriage. As John and Yoko got more serious though, he and Paul split up more.
• Me and George were like brothers! He was the last for me to get close to, but once we got close we were stuck like glue. Paul and John would go off together to fuck around or something a lot, so the two of us would wander around or play a card game or just talk. I didn't have a crush on him or anything but we were really close.
• I didn't have "feelings" for girls really, but I did have... sort of relationships with them? I always liked to have a girl, if only because I really did not want to be out and I was paranoid the media would figure it out. I sort of made it my mission to absolutely pamper whatever girl I was "seeing" and make her as happy as possible. I liked making them laugh and feel safe, like they could always come to me no matter what. I remember with one long-term girl especially, I can't exactly place who but maybe it was Maureen, we were very cuddly and physically close, we even kissed. She had a different guy that she was Actually involved with, but she kept it on the downlow because she knew I appreciated pretending we were together. She would always talk to me about him, what she should do when they were arguing, something sweet he gave her, that sort of thing. I dunno, it just made me really happy to see my girls happy.
• Rory was my only real boyfriend. I spent most of my time with my friends. I went to a lot of bars popular with the gay community (but never explicitly "Gay Bars") and found guys for hookups and such. Sometimes we would stay in touch and have short flings but they never lasted long. I don't know if I was too paranoid to settle down, if it was a confusing romantic orientation thing, or what. But it didn't usually bother me.
• That being said, I developed crushes pretty quickly when I was friends with someone. Especially on John and Paul. I had a crazy crush on both of them. John had a horrible habit of sounding like he was flirting with everyone all the time, and he and Paul were always teasing each other. I have a specific memory of them sitting very close on a couch and running their hands up and down each other's legs. George was vaguely annoyed and I was suddenly very interested in the floor.
• Obviously I have no hard feelings towards either of them for not reciprocating my feelings, I don't even think they knew about them. I think they would've teased me a lot more if they knew. When they were at the peak of their relationship they were so madly in love I couldn't bear to really see them with anyone else. And when John got with Yoko it was obvious he was the happiest with someone he'd ever been. I truly can't think of a time that I saw those two together and didn't immediately feel the love in the air.
• I had a fling with Keith Moon. We were friends before it, and friends after it. We just had some extra fun for awhile.
• I was always close with John, but especially after the band broke up and the other boys fell out of frequent contact with him. I mean we were always a group to some degree, but Paul and George just got busy with their own stuff. I would visit him and Yoko every time I was in the area, we'd catch each other up on like and make fun of each other and it was almost like no time had passed. I do really remember flying right over to see Yoko as soon as I heard about John's death. I considered her family and I felt like I needed to be there for her, but I also wanted to feel close to John somehow to cope with the loss, and that was the best way I could think to do it.
• Jumping back in time, but I wanted to put my pre-Beatles memories at the end of the list. Me and Rory were together. I don't think we ever called each other "boyfriend" but we used a lot of pet names, occasionally said we loved each other, and we were exclusive for basically the entire time I was in the band. He was the coolest guy I'd ever known. I have a lot of nsfw memories of him, but quite a few soft ones too. Specifically, I remember when pretty much everyone had cleared out of the club and I was fussing with my drums, he came up behind me and played with my hair. I leaned back and tilted my head up and we shared a really sweet, intimate, upside-down kiss. After we broke up I never had a consistent boyfriend again. We broke up when I left the band, but I don't think that was the only reason. I know he was jealous because I thought John was very handsome and I was becoming better friends with him. But I'm foggy on the details of our breakup. We stayed in contact but not very well.
