“I miss his wickedness, that glint in his eye, his sense of humor. But most of all I just miss him being here in the world. I often wake up from some strange dream that he’s in, and in a very matter-of-fact way I think, “Yeah, of course, Fred’s still there.” - Brian May
another reason batman is really funny to me is because he's one of the big three of the justice league, can stand toe-to-toe with demigods, is among the top 5 smartest people in his universe, arguably the best martial artist, has fist fought literally everyone from his own children to superman to darkside, but his arch nemesis is just. A clown. with no superpowers. that's in love with him.
Okay guys please hear me out! You may have already noticed that there's no maycury week for this year cause most of the organizers are busy atm which is really understandable. So I thought to do something about it cause nomatter what we can't just let it go right? Sure the dates are already gone but we can come up with new ones right? Anyway I'm really new to this whole week stuffs and all so I really appreciate your help.
Brian and I were in a band before, […] and this band split up. Freddie was a friend of ours who was always circulating around at the time, so then we decided, the three of us, to form a nucleus of a band […]
YouTube comments are such a circus. Just saw someone say that Brian looked at Freddie in photos like he hated him or was envious of him, and I'm starting to think that maybe alternate realities do exist because surely they aren't talking about photos like this:
Like???? Be so fucking serious. The amount of misinformation that is casually regurgitated about Freddie and Brian's relationship is the reason why most fans have a negative opinion of Brian as soon as they start being interested in the band. And that first impression never fully falls apart, which—again—is the reason why so many people are abnormal about him and his feelings, especially when these relate to Freddie.
It does seem like the auction finally made more fans publicly turn against Mary, but you know, none of this would've been surprising to any of you (collective "you" being used here) if you'd taken Jim Hutton seriously. Yes, it's awful that Mary has now greatly upset Brian (and presumably Roger) with auctioning off all of Freddie's things without their say, but Jim told you exactly who this woman was 30 years ago. But no, even people who liked Jim didn't think it was a disqualifying character trait for Mary to...*checks notes* tell Jim he couldn't ride in the first car in the funeral procession with her the literal day of the event, tell him (an HIV-positive man) that dead Freddie was already waiting for him, steal his cat and his family photographs, change the locks immediately before he could even begin to pick up the pieces of his broken life, and ban a man dying of AIDS (Joe) from Christmas dinner at a house that he lived in up until a month prior.
Or even if people disagreed with what Mary did, there were those on here who thought it was fine to talk about literally everything related to the band, from their relationships to their food preferences to their body hair to their fucking dick sizes—except for Mary's hurtful actions and the homophobic PR narrative involving her that has greatly impacted the public's view of Freddie's image for 30 years. No, apparently these big things were inexplicably off-limits, and those of us who thought all that was worth discussing were uwu starting drama uwu
And, for what? Why were people so chicken shit about calling out the bullshit of a talentless leech of an ex-girlfriend before, because a terrible movie wrote fanfiction about her? Because popular fan accounts defended her homophobic ass? Because uwu Freddie trusted her uwu (even though he also trusted Paul Prenter and Barbara)?
Yeah, screw that. I was disgusted by Mary when I finished Mercury and Me 5 years ago and literally nothing has happened to make me doubt my initial thoughts—if anything, finding out more about her has only strengthened them
