Every time I see a headline that uses a quote from Hugh Grant that’s clearly trying to spark a response I just ask myself, “How much of that was probably said in sarcasm?”

The true theatre kid experience is being forced to hear the same soundtrack over and over again at home and at school until eventually you’re singing it to yourself whether you even like the damn music or not.

Freddie Mercury being absolutely precious ♡

[ghostofanovelwriter]

I am too tired to hate you. Too weak to love you. What you’ve mistaken for pride and stubbornness is what is leftover of my will to live. What you believe to be honesty is nothing but compliancy. You could have slit my throat and it wouldn’t have silenced me more than how your sharp tongue already has.

#venting #cry into the oblivion #why would you do this to me #it’s not because you care

Why does Mercury and Me literally read like gay fanfic, I swear I’ve read like half of these anecdotes/tropes somewhere on ao3.

#mercury and me #freddie mercury #jim hutton #queen #queer #their meet cute is just so #even the writing style reads like a popular ao3 author

i’ve just finished mercury & me and the last chapters are really sad so here’s a collection of my favorite moments to cheer myself up: 

“freddie delighted in running around as a tourist, snapping photographs of everything in sight. but he wasn’t very practical with a camera. in fact he had no idea what he was doing and was hilarious to watch.”

for his 39th birthday freddie threw a black & white dress-up party and brian may came as a witch

once david bowie was drying his hair in front of an electric fan and freddie told him it was about the only fan he had

freddie & jim would give each other roses almost every year for valentines day

the very first time freddie came over to hit on jim jim told him to fuck off. freddie did.

whenever jim was sick freddie would fuss around him like a “jewish mother” and run around like a “mother hen” trying to make him feel better

jim started working as the gardner at garden lodge at some point and the first thing freddie did when he got up in the mornings would be to go over to the window to watch him and call out ‘cooee!’

freddie always needed jim to reassure him that he loved him

one they had a row that put freddie in enough of a mood to call jim a bloody irish witch

freddie loved baths and always overdid it on the bubbles

once they couldn’t find goliath and freddie became so upset that the cat was missing that he hurled a beautiful japanese hibachi through the window of the guest bedroom

they previously spent days in japan searching for that specific hibachi

when goliath was finally found freddie cuddled him for five minutes “then, like a mother, freddie scolded the cat, shouting and screaming at tiny goliath for leaving garden lodge. the dark ball of fur just sat there, listening calmly to freddie’s outburst and purring loudly.”

freddie had one (1) driving lesson in his life. he got into the car, stalled the engine, got out and declared “i can’t be bothered with this”

once freddie gave jim a fancy silver magnifying glass because he wanted him “to be able to see the bugs” that were infesting the plants at garden lodge

jim thought freddie & roger were clearly soulmates

there was another time that goliath disappeared but they eventually found him asleep in a sink and freddie thought it was so cute that he screamed

freddie would visit his parents every thursday and his mum would often pack him a lunch box with biscuits

once, before they had guests over for lunch, jim was weeding the garden and freddie thought it looked fun so he wanted to help. when the guests started arriving freddie would commandeer them, one by one, to join them and by the time lunch was ready everyone was on all fours weeding the garden

freddie & michael jackson had worked on a rap number that was never finished

freddie had a rolls royce that was barely used, jim would only drive it out of the garage to play with his model trains (jim beach loved his model trains)

jim made furniture for freddie and freddie would always proudly show it off to visitors telling them “my husband made this for me”

whenever they got fish & chips freddie would insists they get an extra six fish (one for each of the cats) and it was jim’s job to take off all the batter and check for bones so none of them would choke

freddie would joke about wanting to form a band with rod stewart and elton john called Teeth, Nose and Hair.

freddie was quite dramatic and sometimes would tell jim to move out when they were arguing. once it got so far that jim even got an apartment but right before he moved freddie told him he didn’t want him to move and it turned out he didn’t even remember how the argument had started

when jim asked freddie why, out of all people, he was with him, freddie told him “you fought me. you won me.”

I would like to humbly submit the name “Constance” as the unofficial/official fan name for Trent Crimm’s ex-wife named after Constance Lloyd, Irish playwright and Oscar Wilde’s wife.

#ted lasso #trent crimm #trent crimm’s ex wife #headcanon #i’m tired #pls disregard if you don’t care for it #but it’s like #parallels #closeted queer writer who genuinely loves his hard but valiant wife even if not romantically #is this the Wilde marriage or just another Tedtrent fanfic

[ghostofanovelwriter]

People will complain about there being no original IPs anymore than completely disregard said original IPs and instead opt to watch the newest remake or spinoff.

#elemental #joy ride #past lives #paint #asteroid city #it’s under your noses folks #2023 movies #it’s about branching out and actively looking #not just seeing trailers and be like nah #any I missed? #just saw elemental and yeah #the marketing screwed it over

Every once and a while I forget Andrew Scott is gay and when I do remember I’ll chuckle like it’s some meme I saw years ago that I still find funny.

#andrew scott #it’s funny how the fates align sometimes #it’s believable and unbelievable at the same time #i wonder if it’s some inside joke #fleabag #hot priest #bbc sherlock #moriarty

[ghostofanovelwriter]

Yeah, half the fandom caring more about a never seen ex-wife and daughter than the actual men they claim to ship is one of the things that makes this fandom so fucking frustrating as an actual gay man. Love feeling fetishized.

Omg pls I didn’t mean for anyone to take this seriously. While I can’t speak for everyone I’m pretty sure why fans are so invested in these characters is because they offer a glimpse into Trent Crimm’s life given that we don’t know about much of his character outside of Richmond, especially because he’s such a popular character. I was just making a joke that because Trent is so loved by the fandom, we’d all kind of want to picture him as our father or partner, gender or sexuality not being taken into account. Sorry if you misunderstood.

#anon answered #ted lasso #trent crimm #i mean who wouldn’t want trent crimm as a daddy? #definitely not ted

[ghostofanovelwriter]

Let’s be honest, half of the reason this fandom is so invested in Trent Crimm’s daughter and/or ex-wife is because we picture them as a self-insert for our unresolved daddy/SO issues

#trent crimm #ted lasso #i said what I said #self insert #this man is my therapy

Cheese in the Trap is arguably one of the best modern adaptations of Pride & Prejudice but none of you are ready for that conversation

I can’t tell you how much I hate when writers have a character respond to someone close to them coming out as queer by saying “I know” or “I saw it coming.” It’s such a presumptuous attitude to take to someone trying to have a vulnerable moment with you.

I understand the sentiment that writers are trying to convey with this kind of reaction. Coming out can be such a nervewracking experience especially with the fear of rejection and they want to cut that tension by laying it on thick that the character was always going to accept them but in turn makes it seem like they’re brushing off the nerve it must have taken to admit such a thing by saying “oh how silly you are to be scared that I might not accept you.”

One, coming out will always be scary, no matter who the person is because there is legitimate reason to be afraid; and two, the other person’s acceptance isn’t some kind of validation for your sexuality and shouldn’t be the point of the conversation.

Coming out to a person shouldn’t be focused on the person’s response but on you being true to yourself and allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable to someone you clearly trust enough to tell. “I know” is such an insensitive thing to say when someone is trying to open up to you. “I understand” or “thank you for trusting me enough to tell me this” are much better at conveying complete and utter acceptance.

Even if they did know or had their suspicions, that’s not the point of the conversation. It’s an opportunity for connection and acting like it isn’t a surprise just takes away any potential sincerity in the scene. Let them keep it to themselves and hear the other person out. Let them have a meaningful conversation and don’t use a shortcut by making it too lighthearted hence feeling like neither character is taking it seriously.

If a character tells another character “i think i have a crush on x but i always thought i was straight” don’t respond with “ooh! I totally got that vibe from you two. You have my full support,” and do something more along the lines of “it seems like you have stuff you need to figure out. I’m hear to listen to anything you have to say.” In other words, let the other person talk.

Of course, don’t just take my word for it. I’m just ranting because it’s just a big pet peeve of mine but feel free to disagree. I just needed to get that out there.
