When you said "I was going to marry him. I didn't care about Ringo." I thought you meant that you thought they were a couple, but you were going to seduce Paul away from him regardless.

I would read this fanfic.

There's some out there. Apparently there is something of a Beatles fandom which is writing stuff like that, though I couldn't tell you where it is because my active awareness of it vanished around the time I stopped keeping up with my old xanga.

almost all the Beatle slash I've read involved John and/or George.

Haha, this would be amazing.

I generally find Ringo to be the better of the two, but I can't say I've been too pleased with him this last year.

Why, what did he do?

Oh, honestly, nothing terrible. He was one of those folks who cancelled concerts in NC due to that stupid anti-LGBT law passed by the idiot governor. I'm not against him being opposed to the law, or questioning whether or not he should do business in a state that passes such a law, because it is a stupid piece of shit discriminatory law. And unlike other artists, he was courteous and cancelled months in advance instead of the weekend of (though I should point out other artists found constructive ways of protesting without cancelling).

But the thing that got on my tits was when he said "I'm sorry to disappoint my fans..." Wait... whose fans? In case I fell asleep, I'm pretty sure was traveling with like five or six other famous dudes who had also fans looking forward to seeing their favorites rock out together with a Beatle. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure most of them were there for Ringo too. But something about that was just really annoying. I dunno.

It also doesn't help that he and other artists protest this particular law and then go on to perform in states and countries that have even fewer LGBT protections.

Presumably the five or six other famous dudes have mouths and access to social media so they can address their fans directly instead of requiring Ringo to be the One Voice Who Speaks For Them All.

Well, it wouldn't make sense for him to apologize for disappointing the people who weren't his fans, would it? And a little presumptuous of him to apologize for those other 5-6 famous dudes, since their fans would likely appreciate hearing from them if they're not fans of Ringo.

One of the best concerts I've ever been to was Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. I have no experience on drums; he's always seemed fine to me. But that show opened my eyes to how good a performer he is.

"John had the vision, Paul had the heart, George had the spirit, and Ringo had two fried eggs on toast, please."

I don't know much about them, but if this is actually a reflection on Ringo's personality, I think I'd like him too. xD

Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw (it's a stretch, I know), Hufflepuff.

Actually, I'm alright with this. George wrote the smartest songs.

heh, I can see it!

headcanon accepted

Ringo just seems so darned normal. He's filthy rich, insanely famous, and 1/4 of the most influential band in rock history, and he's just a guy who loves performing and making music. I saw him in concert a couple of years ago, and it was a revelation. He seems to be one of the few rock stars who remembers that this is supposed to be fun. Plus his entire message is basically "Be nice to each other." There are worse mantras.

The important thing about Ringo Starr is that he has a magic mirror that lets him look into an alternate universe. In that universe, when he was a teenager and his dickhead friend said "Hey, wanna be in my band?" he said "I think I really need to concentrate on my schoolwork, but thanks." In that universe, Richard Starkey manages the second-largest plumbing supply warehouse in Liverpool, and has two failed marriages and kidney stones.

Every morning, Ringo Starr wakes up on the giant pile of money he uses for a bed, checks his messages from various celebrities and beautiful women who want to meet him, and spends ten minutes gazing into that mirror. And then the rest of the day, he knows he has absolutely nothing to complain about.

Watching Help! and Hard Day's Night and the other things, Ringo is by FAR the best actor. He's the lead of Help! for a reason; sure, he can mug like the best of 'em, but Ringo's got some real comedic timing.

I have a lot of John in me. I think George was cute. But Ringo is the best Beatle, yes. Paul was the best songwriter, though.

If he was still alive I'd like to have a lot of John in me too.

Ringo is such a cute old man. He looks like one of Brian Froud's "nice" elves/goblins/what have you.

I get this. John is my favourite Beatle, (many) warts and all, but I adore Ringo. Apart from doing a bang-up job on the drums, he just seems like such a lovely dude. All the other Beatles had moments of asshole-ish behaviour (some more than others), but Ringo's just this chill dude who kept his cool, didn't implode any friendships, and played his drums.

George a best
