I really want food...

*aiming hunting implements at anything that isn’t a bird* this bird is gonna be delicious

personifying rocks, constnatly,

“my digging skills are delightful, which you would know, if you ever bothered to know me the way you know your beetles”

throw the stone, Maurice.

one of our cave neighbors is a geologist. they know the names of all the kinds of rocks. the rest of us mispronounce them constantly on purpose and correct each other’s pronunciation with even more wrong ones.

making up elaborate insults towards bugs, and saying them, to the bugs

the implications of Ji-won’s moss beds (the joke is nobody can ever agree on the implications)

mushrooms in places they dont belong

yelling “hhchruckkkk!” in a high-pitched voice, several times in a row, whenever

“the best tasting dirt comes from Jamal’s cave”

So the story behind this song, is heart breaking and heart warming at the same time. Brian May, the guitarist for Queen, wrote this song for the 1991 Queen album Innuendo. The song was written about how even though Freddie Mercury was slowly dying from AIDS, he was still doing shows, writing, and making music with the band. When they were recording the song, they were worried the Freddie would not have had the strength to do the vocals, because it was getting much worse, and was bed ridden, but he recorded it, and killed it. There will be no one like Freddie Mercury. I don’t care what anyone says, Queen was and still is the best band ever to exist.

I love that I see Tumblr having this immense respect for Freddie Mercury.  I just get really emotional about it.  Like, he was Parsi and originally from Zanzibar, apparently bisexual though I don’t think he ever claimed a label(?), artistic, grand, brave, he loved cats, he was a constant fucking delight, he is everything Tumblr loves, and I love seeing Tumblr grasp that.

I’ll be 38 next month and was raised on Queen not knowing any of this about him, and I still loved him and loved his voice.  And I wish I had known all of this as I was discovering their work and falling in love with it because I feel like it would have made a huge difference to me.
