#Freddie Mercury was a siren
Text
Secondo: I’m not saying Freddie Mercury WAS a siren, but have you ever heard someone NOT sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody? It is a six minute song with incomprehensible lyrics that seem to have something to do with murder and demons, five sections that are completely different stylistically, and no chorus. YET, it was number one on the UK singles chart twice, 15 years apart. It is one of the most, if not THE most, popular singles of all time. An absurdly broad swathe of people know it. I have no memory of actually learning it, do you? You expect me to believe there was no magic involved? I rest my case!

Have an idea that Freddie Mercury had to fake his death and live only in the Wizarding World when he was outed and confirmed as a Siren and in my story he wants to work on a project with my oc, daughter of a woman he was aching to do a song with over a decade prior. Up for it or scrap it?

We all know Freddie Mercury would be a siren if he was mythical creature, but what would other well known celebrities be?

Have y'all ever heard a god-awful Queen song? No, no you have not. Why?
Freddie Mercury was a SIREN. It's the only logical conclusion.

funnier (and therefore more in line with Good Omens) headcanon: Crowley doesn't actually particularly like Queen (this is book canon, tbf, he also prefers classical music). but what if Freddie had met Crowley somewhere and was obsessed with him. and just like kept showing up. and convinced Crowley to give him lifts in the Bentley. and Crowley's like "shit if Aziraphale sees..." but then Freddie Mercury obviously had some sort of supernatural powers (see that one Tumblr post about Bohemian Rhapsody being like a siren song or something) so what if he convinced the Bentley to turn all music into Queen after a fortnight and that's why that happens
#good omens#aziraphale#crowley#ineffable husbands#aziracrow#ineffable idiots#ineffable spouses#neil gaiman#i only like headcanons when they're a bit bonkers i think

Lorraine catching R singing and dancing to Queen
You hadn’t thought the shiny new boombox stereo you got for your birthday would see much use. You preferred the twang of an acoustic guitar, or the gentle melody of Lorraine playing piano in another room.
You were sweating away in the barn, as you were apt to do in the evenings, cleaning out stalls and preparing dinner for the various animals. For some reason, it felt extra tedious today. You remembered the silver boombox sitting in the back seat of your truck and decided to set it up on the tire of the old tractor. You fiddled with the antenna until you found a station that wasn’t an angry man yelling about the end times, and let it play quietly as you resumed your chores.
The first chords of a song caught your attention as you were leading CB into his stall. Your ears pricked, you crossed your fingers the DJ had good enough taste to play it. The bass line came in, then the beautiful voice of none other than Freddie Mercury rang out.
“This thing called love, I just can’t handle it…”
You couldn’t help but to bounce a little as you guide CB to his dinner. By the time you left his stall you were really feeling it, sliding out into the barn floor. You sweep up a broom and sing into it, twirling and dancing around the dusty floor like some kind of new age Elvis.
“There goes my baby,” you push the broom away for a deep inhale, “she knows how to rock and roll.”
You shuffle backward, still singing into the broom handle, “she drives me craaazy, she gives me hot and cold fever,”
A snort from the barn door behind you freezes you, your eyes going wide. You drop the broom and clasp your hands behind your back, turning to face your audience. Freddie continues singing his ballad in the background.
Lorraine is leaning against the doorframe, her arms crossed and her smile wide. Your face heats up, you can feel the blush rise from your chest to your ears.
“Don’t stop on my account Mr. Mercury,” she says through her smile.
You chuckle, scuffing your boot in the dirt, “Queen just got ahold a me, that sirens call.”
Lorraine pushes off the doorframe and walks to you, her hand outstretched, “May I join you?”
Your smile is so massive it nearly forces your eyes closed as you take her hand, “It would be my absolute pleasure. You’ve heard of this crazy little thing called love?”
“It’s been a big hit recently, particularly round these parts,” Lorraine replies, batting her eyelashes at you.
“So I’ve heard,” you say and pull her into your dance.

I just checked my Google Photos because I was searching for something and I saw our photos from London in August. Maybe I already had posted some of them. Most of the time we really had some nice weather- a little cold but only rain on two days (while at home it was raining the whole time). My daughter and I totally will do such trip to London again. It was our first vacation together and for both of us it was the first time on a plane.
We even found the last house of Freddie Mercury.
By the way: we were able to spot other tourists while waiting at the traffic lights. Most Brits weren't waiting for the light to turn green while tourists did. Even when there was an ambulance or police with sirenes on the people walked by red. You wouldn't see this over here in Germany.

There's no better joke than "I'm not saying Freddie Mercury was a siren, but have you met anyone who can not sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody?" right after 15+ drunk scientists from at least 5 different countries (with no native English speaker in sight) have just finished collectively singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody.

I don't know how to explain it but in a abo au you'd smell like how the song 'don't stop me now' sounds BUT specifically at a school dance. Thats all i got. Do what you will with this information.
so like, idk how to explain but i kinda get it? like its one of those moments where youre having so much fun you kinda forget everything and evryone in the room pauses whatever they were just just doing to sing along to freddy mercury? because that mf is absolutely a siren?
and if it where a scent it'd probably be the cheap frosting on grocery store cupcakes, strawberry lip gloss, and hair mousse/spray.

The bad news about making a siren based on Freddie Mercury for Triangulum is that I’ll have to come up with an homage to Bohemian Rhapsody and like...how am I supposed to top that for a siren song?
#Hayley Writes Triangulum#I could just be cheeky and call it That Song Everyone Knows and never actually drop lyrics for it#Because everyone already knows it

17 April 1976 - Freddie Mercury in “JACKIE” Magazine - Issue No. 641
The last part of a Jackie exclusive on Queen – Freddie Mercury
The Queen of Arts! 👑♥️
Mercury is the perfect name for Freddie. Living at a shatteringly fast pace, with his moods changing like quicksilver from the heights of happiness to the depths of despair, he's the kind of person who's instantly memorable – even after just one meeting!
Freddie himself says it's all down to style.
"That's the keyword to everything," he said. "One must always have a sense of impeccable style."
Style, Freddie has always had. Money, not until recently! In the early days, he would help run a stall in Kensington Market so that he could afford to clothe himself in the fine fabrics he wanted. Silks, satins and furs don't come cheaply, unless you're behind the counter instead of in front of it – so that's where Freddie went!
And what little profit he made from the stall he put into other little essential luxuries in the Mercury lifestyle – like eating out, and being chauffeur driven! Fortunately for everybody, Queen did make it to the very top, and with "Bohemian Rhapsody" being Freddie's composition, he can now afford to indulge himself as much as he wants. After the single had been at number one for five weeks, Freddie ventured out to buy a Daimler of his own, to be looked after by his chauffeur Derek, who has driven him everywhere for the past year.
At this very moment, while Freddie is in America, the car, a left hand drive, is being completely redone. It's being painted dazzling white, and having a few little extras installed – like a cocktail cabinet, new upholstery, a stereo and a fridge!
But there's more to Freddie than that. For one thing, he's the most artistic member of the group. He literally devised the imaged of the band; the black and white clothing, the stage act, the clever lighting and the use of fireworks.
But in amongst all this light and colour, there's another side to Freddie – a darker, more serious streak. He lives on his nerves for much of the time. Long hours spent working in the studio, or on the road tend to make him a bit short-tempered at times, and if anything goes wrong, he lets everyone know – loudly!
In fact, on the group's British tour, the road crew suddenly realised, just before the show, that no one remembered to buy the bunch of roses Freddie threw out at the end of the show each evening. Rather than risk his wrath, they had an urgent conference backstage, and a few minutes later, a police car headed off from the theater, sirens blaring, to the local cemetery! Guiltily, they crept in, picked out the freshest bunch of roses they could find, and hurried back with their spoils.
Luckily, Freddie didn't find out what they'd done until afterwards!
On the same tour a few nights later, an over-eager fan ripped a handful of fur out of Freddie's beautiful fox fur jacket.
"Really, dear," he exclaimed. "MUST you!"
But Freddie's clothes are unique. In fact, he must be one of the very few members of the British population who doesn't possess a pair of jeans! He says he wouldn't be seen dead in them. His trousers are always satin, shirts, always silk, jackets usually fur or velvet.
Freddie's West London flat is a slightly sombre place, in contrast. It's draped with heavy velvet hangings and dark furniture, and crammed with Freddie's bits and pieces. Like Freddie himself, it's busy, artistic and very stylish.
His two cats, tom, who's black and white, and Jerry, who's big and fluffy and ginger, have the run of the place. When you sit down in Freddie's flat, it's best to look at the chair first and check that there isn't a cat already sitting there!
But Freddie doesn't intend to stay there. For ages now, he's been looking for a new place.
"It has to be a fairly large place," he said, "large enough for my grand piano. In my present flat, the grand piano tends to dominate the room, so I'd like somewhere slightly bigger, where it would fit in more comfortably."
But although Freddie's beautiful and long suffering girlfriend Mary has searched for some time, and has on several occasions come up with possible homes for Freddie, he always finds something wrong with them, and the search continues.
The last house Mary found for him had to be given up when the person selling it realised who Freddie was, and quickly put the price up. That's one of the penalties of having a famous face!
As you might expect, Freddie is very fussy about his appearance on stage, and his lovely catsuits are specially made for him by Chrissie, his dress designer. On the last tour, he had two suits with special little wings on the ankles – to fit in with his name. If you remember, Mercury was the Greek Messenger God who used to have winged ankles to help him fly.
Freddie also wears black nail polish with his costume – which isn't always too easy to get hold of in small towns! On several occasions during the last tour, he had the group's wardrobe man rushing desperately around the local chemists in search of a new bottle. And in Liverpool, a kindly hotel chambermaid saved the day by lending him some of hers!
Aside from painting his nails though, Freddie's actually an excellent artist! He designed the original Queen crest – and his favourite artist is Richard Dadd, a rather gloomy artist of the last century, who has a lot of paintings in the Tate Gallery. Freddie's often to be found browsing in front of them when he needs soothing inspiration.
He doesn't have any time for painting now, but he still takes an extremely critical view of the group's album covers, photos and programmes.
Apart from work, though, Freddie likes high living – up to a point. He eats out a lot, although it's as much the atmosphere he enjoys as the food. He prefers simple food like steaks with maybe a glass of white wine, and he tends to pick at his food – one of the reasons why he manages to stay so thin!
Since the group have joined forces with John Reid, who's also Elton John's manager, Freddie has been down to Elton's house a few times for tea, and he's also gone along a couple of times to the smart parties Elton likes to attend.
Looking towards the future, Freddie says he'd like to settle down and get married, but it won't be for a few years yet. And somehow, I can't imagine him settling for the quiet life, can you?

London, UK -- Bat For Lashes, the project of Natasha Khan, will be releasing her sixth studio album The Dream of Delphi on May 31 via Mercury KX. Last week, she shared the newest single lifted from the record "Letter To My Daughter." Along with the single comes a video, the second chapter of her album film, produced in collaboration with creative director and choreographer Alexandra Green and directed by Freddie Leyden.
The stunning track spans just about 2.5 minutes long and begins with polyphonic electronic synths, reminiscent of 70s science documentaries. The whimsicality of the synths bring a layer of awe and nurture to lush orchestral swells. "Letter To My Daughter" emits a motherly tenderness in its majestic sonic swirls. There's an immensity to the instrumental fullness, amplified by the strings and piano, that creates the warmest embrace.
On the track, Khan shares: "This title is pretty self-explanatory. If I was on my deathbed, it’s what I’d say to Delphi to give her some sense of being at home in the world, the galaxy, the universe we live in. Before Delphi was born I started writing her a book of letters, inspired by Maya Angelou’s book of the same name, Letter To My Daughter. It documents a very strange but magical year, full of special memories and historic worldly moments. This ride of life is always continuing and we’re all just energy moving from one form into another, always. She’s also just part of an echo, ancestral line or spiral in the cosmos, like the spiral that I saw in her soft hair when she was a baby. She is part of something much greater than any of us individually; she comes from the past and she comes from the future."

12-Jun O2 Academy 2, Oxford UK
