On this day Queen decided that the best way to sell a single was with their most ‘what are you looking at? how very dare you even touch this record?’ expressions on the cover

I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to read this post in regards to this artwork.

I went with something a little different for this year’s birthday art. Normally I have Mangy and Freddie interacting through an existing photograph of him from the 1980s, but this time I decided to actually draw him. Specifically in the 70s since it is more relevant to the first Era of Monstrous Majesty.

This artwork depicts both Freddie Mercury and Mercury Mangy in the world of Rhye. When Freddie was a child, he and his sister created a fantasy world with ogres, fairies, kings, and queens. In the 1970s Rhye was introduced to the world in song form…and became Queen’s secret little rock opera in their first 3 albums. In my art Mangy shows Freddie my interpretation of Rhye, thus making my own world based around the one he created in his music. In a way we created this world together. My version is Rhye is the planet of monsters, ogres, and titans, the home of the one and only Monstrous Majesty…and I’m sure he would have loved it.

And speaking of which, I am always touched when people tell me that Freddie would have loved Mangy, obviously I agree (lol)! Silliness aside, I do greatly appreciate it, and it makes me happy to hear, I put a lot of work and love into his character. I’ve said it various times before on my other social media accounts, but he's heavily based around his music and sense of humor.

Freddie is *very* important to me. He is a huge inspiration to me and my artwork, which is already evident enough through the creation of Mangy and Monstrous Majesty as a whole. MM wouldn’t even be a thing without him in the first place. No other artist has impacted me as much as Queen. Every time I listen to Queen, I’m always inspired to add more into the world of Monstrous Majesty. Since 2019 I’ve enjoyed bringing Freddie’s world to life through my art and writing, and I hope I’m doing it justice.

In addition to this gift, prints of this art will be available to purchase soon, and a sales post will be published once everything arrives. 50% of sales will go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust to help fight aids worldwide. Keep an eye out if you’re interested in getting one!

This is 1/2 gifts I had planned for Freddie this year. I’ve been working on a physical gift that unfortunately I was not able to finish on time…and I just started school today so that’s definitely going to delay it more, but hopefully I can get it done on my next break!

Happy 77th birthday, Freddie Mercury! Hope you’re having an awesome birthday in Heaven.

Thank you so much for reading, shares and interactions are *greatly* appreciated with this piece specifically.

Fave Queen Songs Except Bohemian Rhapsody: Poll #15

Hi, everyone! I just spent several days getting from Washington (State) to Kansas, but I have proper Internet access again, and that means advancing the polls!

Last time, Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé's operatic "Ensueño" went up against Brian May's ode to an imagined sister, "Sail Away Sweet Sister." This one, meanwhile, is the last of the first phase of the Queen polls!

"You're My Best Friend" is one of their most genuinely heartwarming pieces IMO, and it's here: https://youtu.be/zCCtPr-0rbM

"Seven Seas of Rhye" is both bizarre in a very Queen way and extremely fun: https://youtu.be/FxIo57WURRE

Day 20: Seven Seas of Rhye from Queen 2

This song rounds out the end of Queen’s second studio album. We had the instrumental draft of this song in the first Queen album, but this one is the real treat, because we get this song in its entirety.

So, of course, Rhye refers to a magical, mystical land that Freddie Mercury and his sister, Kashmira, created when they were children. (Rhye was also referenced in Lily of the Valley.) This song has lots of nods to mystical lands and creatures and aligns with the prog-rock motifs of the time.

Some background: this was Queen’s third single but first hit, reaching all the way to number 10 in the UK Singles Chart.

Now, delving into the song itself:

YES- that same piano intro, but followed by some sweet guitar riffs. Yup, this one gets me going. It’s so majestic, so grand and sweeping.

The lyrics, though! “Fear me, you lords and lady preachers…” Okay this is some fantasy world-stuff. I am not worthy.

I adore how much confidence this song has. It’s just so unabashed.

The jangling sounds in the background (which I think were made by some random, weird, amazing methods) – are so freaking cool. I love the obvious creativity that went into this track. You can tell these guys were so smart and creative and had such big dreams, even on what was probably a limited budget. And they cranked out this epic song, with all its magic and mystery and grandiosity.

I love the multi-tracking harmonies and the sprawl of the voices. “You are mine, I possess you, I belong to you forever—ever—ever–ever–ahhhhhh!!!!” (that has to be Roger dog-whistle Taylor)

When Freddie says: “Then I’ll get you!” 😀My favorite are those moments when he just says something iconic in the background like that.

This is a rocking song. It just gets me pumped up everytime, singing along.

And the end, the little outro fading out. “Oh I do like to be beside the seaside…”

Overall, this is a tight little song, and it’s no wonder it was their single. It’s so fitting for the time, for the styles of the day, and it was experimental at the same time, with a real potential for what was to come.

So that was Queen 2, one of my favorite albums. What are your favorite tracks off Queen 2?

marauders girls as queen songs

I PREVIOUSLY DID THE MAIN 4 AS QUEEN SONGS BUT HERE IS THE VALKYRIES

lily evans- under pressure

it just makes sense

the fact that she has that pressure from exams, family, snape, friends etc etc

the vibes

mary macdonald- the show must go on

she is the only marauder left after it all, and she can't live with it so she oblivitates herself, the loneliness of the song just fits

throughout most fics she's in, her insides are breaking, her makeup is flaking but her smile does go on

i just feel like she would say the line a lot, she is such a theatre kid, i love her.

i did also heavily debate somebody to love and a kind of magic but here we are.

marlene mckinnon- no one but you (only the good die young)

this sing ruins me and as does marlene

this being the only song after freddies death that is just the band w/ no other vocals but them just fits w/ marlene being one of the first to go and just yh

this being john deacons last recorded piece and yh. I JUST LOVE MARLENE AND SHE DESERVES SUCH AN IMPORTANT SONG

dorcas meadowes- seven seas of rhye

idky it just has the vibes that dorcas has

I DONT KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE OK

ANYWAY HOPE YOU ENJOYED SORRY WAS SO DEPRESSING

the seven seas of rhye

Fear me you loathsome, lazy creatures

Broomskingdom is located in between two rich mountains, surrounded by rich land perfect for agriculture. Away from the mountains were seven seas, only seen by the view of the queen's castle. The peasants racked their backs in the fields, their arms sore for picking the wheat.

"I hate this job." one grumpy peasant grumbled.

"It's not like you have a choice, Cap." another one lectured.

I descend upon your earth from the skies

While the poor straddled the economy of the kingdom, the rich stood up high.

Queen Jin lived in a larges castle that ascended high than a man on his second trip. Gold accents tattered the beige walls elegantly. Her smile could make millions fawn.

Her orange gown flowed when she walked, blonde hair blowing through the air. Her beauty shined with a single touch of the corner of her lips. When she reveals herself to the kingdom, they all cheered. A peep of her voice can cause stampedes.

I command your very souls you unbelievers

"Helly," the queen called out to her most trusted adviser.

"Yes, your Majesty?" Helly hastily made his way to the room, where his eyes were planted on the queen, sitting on her throne glittering in jewels.

"I want you to go on a journey."

Bring before me what is mine

She looked over the window. "There."

The seven seas of Rhye

-//-

Helly missed the old town in the kingdom. Where he grew up, where he learned, where he stayed. If he hadn't been appointed personally to the queen, he would be in the fields.

And he missed his old friend.

"Rhye? She must be out of the gutter!" Bruner slurred as he took another downing on his booze.

"I know, right? But I am the queen's advisor for a reason. She trusts me with everything." Helly said, sipping his cup of booze. "We do have a... shady history with Rhye."

"Like the seven seas thing?"

"Yeah." Helly answered.

"It was like a full blown war over some seas and we lost it, right?" Bruner asked, looking for clarification.

"Yeah... our queen's father fought that war and he was panned on so badly-"

"He jumped off the roof of the castle."

Helly paused. "Yeah."

Bruner grabbed the bottle and chugged more booze in his cup. "That's brutal, man. I can't imagine having to deal with my kingdom against me-"

"That's history, Bruner." Helly said.

"Well, you're still going on that journey, right?"

"...Yes. It's mandatory."

Bruner's eyes sunk.

"Safe journeys then."

He was on the brink of tears. Maybe he was just drunk or truly wallowing in sadness.

"I promise i'll be back alive."

-//-

"I want revenge, Helly."

The queen rasped, his hands wringing her staff tightly.

Helly's eyes watered to his cowardice. "That feud was years ago, your Majesty. It seems pointless to continue this-"

"I don't care." she replied coldly.

"... I can't do this alone."

The queen faced her advisor, looking at the ground as he stood parallel to her throne way above. Her eyes were soulless and devoid.

"Then have someone go with you."

Helly's eyes lit up. "Who?"

"I realized you are too scrawny to go in this conquest." the queen said. "So i'm tasking some people to protect you on the journey."

Helly smiled.

"Come back tomorrow morning and i'll show them to you."

-//-

Tomorrow morning came and Helly was presented with three individuals who were way taller and stronger than his small frame. He felt terrified by their presence.

"This is Poli." the queen pointed her hand to the person wearing a shiny tinted blue suit. Poli smiled at Helly, which seemed to terrify him more. "He's alert and strong. He can protect you in dangerous situations."

"O- okay..."

The queen walked up to another man in a red suit. He looked significantly more chiseled than Poli and he was towering over him. "This is Roy. He is the brawn. He will crush anything that physically halts your journey." He looked more soft and kind than Poli.

"And lastly, this is Amber." Helly was relieved that there was a girl, not only because they looked less terrifying, but the way she held a straw briefcase in her hand. "She's an amazing healer. She can heal all your wounds in a matter of minutes. Her briefcase contains all he medicine and chemicals she uses."

Helly wondered how the queen got them to be here, or where they came from in the first place, but he forgot about it when the queen stepped down and walked up to the door. She turned around and looked at them, smiling.

"One o'clock you should all be here."

She grabbed the door handle.

"And one more thing,"

Helly's ears perked up.

"Serve revenge."

Helly's small smile didn't waver. "Yes, your Majesty." the newfound team said in unison. In a few hours they would be gone.
