On 21 May 1982, 'Hot Space', Queen's 10th studio album, was released, which marked a major departure from the band's earlier work. Initially criticised by a large portion of fans, it was later re-evaluated

i may have a very complicated relationship with my mother, but the thing is, one part of it i would never change is the fact that she introduced me to some great (and often times not so great for my taste, but still fun and interesting) music.

most important of it all: this woman taught me how to scream queen from the top of my lungs.

i think this in particular says a lot.

like, i was a ten-year-old, just a year into learning english, and i already recognised the first note of i want to break free. i went camping every summer from when i was 12 to when i was 16, and i introduced the kids in the same dorm as me to the euphoria of clapping to the rythm of we will rock you. i danced in the darkness of my room to radio ga-ga during quarantine, because i was scared and confused and ate toast for dinner for two weeks straight since there was nothing else there. i hummed bohemian rhapsody while studying during what i then thought of as the most academically challenging year of my life to keep myself sane in front of calculus. i fell in love for the first time the same year, and i thought of her while listening to good old fashioned lover boy and you're my best friend, because i wasn't able to tell her, so i kept her close to me that way. i went to study in another, unknown city, to live on my own for the very first time, and, inter alia, i put on killer queen, innuendo and don't stop me now, and even i'm in love with my car, to feel like home, a place i never had, because...

i may have a very complicated relationship with my mother, but sometimes my heart thinks that the music we both love will bridge the gap between us. that queen will magically make her arms feel like home, and not somewhere hard and suffocating to be inside of.

Can we appreciate my mug

Freddie was bi lmao

… anyways, a very Happy Birthday to Freddie ❤️ I wish people would respect the way he identified and the label he chose for himself that he felt best represented who he was, as reported many, many times by many people around him.

…

Jesus Christ.

This note is literally saying, “I’m sorry, please don’t hit me, I love you.”

And this was his first real relationship with a man. This is heartbreaking.

I just realised that none of you guys know that my name is Mercury because of Freddie Mercury

June 30th 1980 saw the release of 'The Game', Queen's eighth studio album. It was the band's first album to reach the number 1 position on the best-selling albums chart in both the US and the UK.

every single tony scott movie is queer coded. i don't think every action 80s movie is, and i actually don't think rambo is that gay. commando is pretty gay, that is not a new take. as far as queer coded villains go, mark l. lester, who directed it, has spoken openly on it. the lethal weapons movies were written by shane black, who some people (me, for the first time right now) have described as "only ever making homoerotic christmas movies". beverly hills cop 2 was directed by tony scott. the issue isn't top gun having a normie amount of male gaze mistakenable for gay longing, it's people not drawing gay erotic beverly hills cop fanart. so we agree on that.

Do you think part of the reason that some people hate Mary so much is because they're annoyed the press keeps calling Freddie bi? (I know he was gay.) It's not Mary's fault but it's like, yeah let's hate her to cement he was definitely not bi.

I've actually thought about this, and I think your take is quite relevant.

There's a lot of emphasis, especially after the movie, of fans to want to categorically reject the idea of Freddie being bisexual. It's almost vitriolic at times. Not that I don't agree that Freddie was unequivocally gay, but I also don't think he would have labeled himself so stringently as we are wont to do today. I think he would have been more interested in actually just ... living his life, rather than needing to constantly define himself as such.

Now, I think labeling one's identity can be super important for people, and I don't mean to deny that. But our eagerness to label every single aspect of our identities is a fairly new phenomenon. And it's my personal, unpopular opinion that Freddie wouldn't have been too fussed about people calling him bisexual. I do not think he would have been as offended as certain people are on his behalf. I know the reason people have such a fit over it, because they believe it's some sort of erasure of his gay identity, but it gets a little overboard sometimes.

Anyway, back to Mary.

I've wondered if people are so adamant to eschew Mary in order to somehow solidify that Freddie was 100% bonafide gay. He couldn't have possibly loved a woman in a way that was beyond sex or romance---that she couldn't have possibly meant something to him besides just getting his dick hard.

I mean, sometimes I wonder if these people have ever had an actual complex human relationship. It's not always black and white, not always so easy to categorize. Am I saying she was the love of his life? No! But I'm also saying he loved her in his way, and she loved him in her way. We don't have to be geniuses to figure out that a gay man can love a woman and not be bisexual.

The only real reasons we have for hating Mary, as far as I know, come from maybe a paragraph (in total) written by Jim and Phoebe, right? Which indicate how she acted or reacted after Freddie's death? The things that she supposedly said that have been analysed and picked apart and misconstrued. I mean, even if she is a great big bitch, damn...I can be a great big bitch sometimes, too. Give us bitches a break, huh?

I simply don't see the evidence that suggests she was such a tremendous homophobe that she's painted to be. Has she said some things that I wouldn't say? Yes! So has Freddie, tbh. I mean, let's be real in thinking Freddie wasn't always the most PC gentleman in his time. And I'm not excusing those kinds of things by saying "but it was the olden days" because listen... we can't excuse that because of the time period. There were always people who were tolerant and accepting, even back in the time period when it wasn't the social norm. BUT, I simply don't have any concrete evidence of Mary being a mega-cunt. *shrug*

Moreover, I simply don't care enough about her to even bother going to such lengths.

So, as for your suggestion: I think it could have some notes of truth to it!

video game factoid #1!!!

this is eagle from street fighter he also appears in the handheld versions of street fighter alpha 3 he is also gay

Your Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide

You’ve heard the term, I’m sure. It’s arguably one of the most loathsome transits in the history of modern astrology, a planetary motion that causes confusion, drama, communication disruptions, and the sudden return of your ex (not to mention the reminder of their terrible communication skills): Mercury Retrograde. That’s right: On Dec. 13. 2023 Mercury stations retrograde in strategic and organized Capricorn, where it will backpedal before re-entering Sagittarius, and then eventually station direct in the fire sign on Jan. 1 2024 (*cue screams, wails, and semi-dramatic music*).

Mercury Retrograde Meaning & Significance

     Soooo...why might you be running away screaming in frustration and terror? It’s simple. As the planet of the mind, Mercury rules all functions and aspects of mental activity and gathering/relaying of information. In plain English, that means Mercury presides over: thought, speech, learning, texting, phone calls, emails, the internet, technology, the media, and other day-to-day correspondences that fall under the big umbrella of Communication. 

In Capricorn, Mercury brings a bevy of strategic thinking and disciplined communication. Mercury’s speedy transit through the entrepreneurial earth sign fosters a goal-driven mindset, emphasizing practical decision-making and a respect for tradition. Conversations become structured, authoritative, and focused on tangible achievements, highlighting Mercury's efficiency and Capricorn's penchant for success-oriented communication.

That’s great, right? Yep. Except when Mercury is Retrograde. 

In case you’re unfamiliar, Mercury Retrograde—sometimes referred to as Mercury RX—is a period when the planet appears to move backwards in relation to the earth. (Notice I said appears, as neither Mercury nor any other planet in our solar system actually moves backwards through the sky, as that would be a MIND F*CK.) Naturally, this moonwalking phase causes a disruption in the daily functions of Mercury’s influence and energy. In other words, all those aforementioned spheres of communication, as well as machinery, technology, and even pets, may not behave the way they should. What’s more, your strategies, practical decisions, and writing goals may also be on the fritz.
