May 13th, 1974: Photos from a very muddy day on the set of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I went absolutely ape and threw myself in the air, landed in the mud, and just wiggled my legs around and screamed and yelled for about five seconds. There was absolute silence and then John and Graham just led this spontaneous applause. John said he’d never seen anything like it. He’d never seen me get angry, ever. - Michael Palin on his unexpected tantrum on set, after he’d been forced to eat from the mud a few too many takes.
you don’t know what pain is until you fall in love with the 25-year-old version of a 50-year-old rockstar

Fictional Kiss Prompts
So I borrowed a bunch of these fictional kisses from this post and made it up into a prompt list. Feel free to reblog of course!
- breaking the kiss to say something, staying so close that you’re murmuring into each other’s mouths
- moving around while kissing, stumbling over things, pushing each other back against the wall/onto the bed
- kissing so desperately that their whole body curves into the other person’s
- throwing their arms around the other person, holding them close while they kiss
- hands on the other person’s back, fingertips pressing under their top, drawing gentle circles against that small strip of bare skin that make them break the kiss with a gasp
- lazy morning kisses before they’ve even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up
- routine kisses where the other person presents their cheek/forehead for the hello/goodbye kiss without even looking up from what they’re doing
-
being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward
-
one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other
- staring at the other’s lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in
- when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more
- a hoarse whisper “kiss me”
- following the kiss with a series of kisses down the neck
- starting with a kiss meant to be gentle, ending up in passion
- a gentle “i love you” whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss
-
when one person’s face is scrunched up, and the other one kisses their lips/nose/forehead
-
height difference kisses where one person has to bend do wn and the other is on their tippy toes
-
kisses where one person is sitting in the other’s lap
-
kisses meant to distract the other person from whatever they were intently doing
-
top of head kisses
Send me a number and a ship?
I do not think I’m easy to define. I have a wandering mind. And I’m not anything that you think I am.

“Old man take a look at my life
I’m a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that’s true”
