Paul is a victim of chronic childhood trauma, whose personality was shaped by three destructive forces: the death of his mother (loss of love), his father's violence (loss of safety), and his unpredictable "care" (loss of trust). His psyche operates in survival mode: suppression of emotions, traumatic attachment to the abuser, and somatization of stress. He experiences an unresolvable internal conflict between the awareness of his father's toxicity and the childlike need for his love. Music is the only light in this darkness. His story is a classic example of a "broken child" in an adult's body, where the pain of the past continues to live in the present
I think some of you are projecting onto John when you say he was deeply obsessed with Paul. It seems like you're the ones obsessed with Paul, and you're projecting those feelings onto John. Yes, John admired Paul, but you all act as if John spent his entire life obsessing over him. I don't think that's the case.
Lovely words about Brian Wilson from Paul 💞

Hi. I remember reading a quote by Stuart's sister about some sort of love triangle between John, Stuart and Paul, or something like that. I know she said something about them, but I can't find the source 😓
She didn't really frame it as a love triangle, but she did imply that Paul's intense jealousy of Stu might have been because he suspected there was something going on between John and Stu:
"I have known in my heart for many years that Stuart and John had a sexual relationship but to protect my mother I kept my counsel about it although everything I knew, personally and professionally, pointed towards it. And, with hindsight, it was a lovely happening: two lost boys who needed and found each other. [...] I’ve wondered many times over the years if that’s what some of the antagonism between Stuart and Paul might have been about, whether Paul suspected something [between John and Stu]. None of us directly connected to the Beatles have publicly acknowledged that John had less than conventional sexual attachments." —Pauline Stutcliffe (The Beatles' Shadow: Stuart Sutcliffe & His Lonely Hearts Club)
John Lennon is my mother, my lesbian aunt, my sworn enemy, my personal punching bag, my gender identity, the ghost that haunts me, and the gayboy I keep in a cage and feed with dog food

the thing that so few understand about paul is that hes the weird girl. he’s the girl who thinks too much about every interaction to the point where he cannot emote in a way that doesn’t piss literally everyone off. he has a toxic codependent homoerotic friendship within his own band and he’s STILL the one that consistently gets left out. no one wanted to hang out with him in hamburg. he is strange and sad and does not process any of it and it’s turned him into the weirdest most evil fucking girl in the world and that’s what makes him so compelling
