bohemian, alright!

hello sweet anon for ur message !!

unfortunately, I think modern times is done. I wrote the series balls deep in an adhd fixation (my longest one yet!!) and then went thru a massive burnout where I didn’t write for a year. These days I’m writing for my university course, so anything I write is usually something I’m getting graded on and I don’t have much space for stuff outside of that, which is a bummer. that, and I don’t think I really have a good grasp on queen knowledge anymore - I’m really quite rusty nowadays 💀

dont get me wrong it was incredibly important to me at the time, and continues to be something v special to me, I think I just needed it at the time and I'm moving on to other things now :)

(for anyone curious: the final instalment of modern times was going to have b bump into Julian and get closure from that, as well as coming to terms with how they value themselves, and their self-worth. I think in the end they would leave the tour when Brian and Roger inevitably retire - rediscovering their love for their own music and finding their own path in the music industry)

at the start of this blog I was some confused, awkward teenager, and I've grown into someone who is confident and comfortable with themselves (im currently halfway to a first class creative writing degree!!!) and im very thankful for that. this blog saw me find my boyfriend (2 and a half years this feb!!), bleach the shit out of my hair, and find myself so thanks for coming on the ride.

finally, I have another writing blog im playing around with @waspenned (currently in my andy garfield spiderman era no I will not be taking criticism at this time) I go by Penn and am currently writing prose again for the first time in years so hopefully things are looking up

if you want to deny trans women the right to feminine spaces and deny non binary people the respect to their own fucking pronouns then don’t touch my shit. terfs and people who support the lgb alliance are not welcome here and will be blocked accordingly. leave.

additionally, in response to this persons ridiculous argument to my post (although i don’t want to respond) if you think it was IN ANY WAY safe for freddie to be ‘openly’ queer and non-white in britain then u need to get a grip. this was at the height of the aids epidemic when being ‘openly’ / visibly queer was incredibly dangerous and stigmatised. unfortunately, (iicr) freddie had to change his name to be more ‘white’ to be able to succeed in a white-dominated industry. He never denied being a person of colour (mustapha is right there lol) as you claim. Gain some critical thinking skills ffs

just think it’s funny how you lose your non-white non-straight best friend and thirty years after, ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH, you talk about how bands have to be ‘diverse’ to succeed in the rag that chatted shit about him in his last months. ‘queen wouldnt be considered diverse enough today’ ur frontman was a queer poc are u thick!!!!!

how upset can you be about Brit awards making categories gender-neutral and ‘woke cancel culture’ that you ?? betray ?? Freddie like this ??? In The S*n of all thing???? How does this even impact you??? So much that you CHOOSE to align urself w piers morgan and the lgb alliance??

I’m gonna b (lol) straight up w you but at this point I’m probably never gonna finish modern times 😔 my brain chemistry + university + what I’m inspired by rn just rlly gives me no wiggle room to write. I have a half finished finale in my notes that I might be able to clean up one day (I haven’t written prose in nearly 2 years lol) but idk if I’ll ever be happy with the send off.

Long Away was a rlly good finishing point I think, and the ‘finale’ would only tie up some wee loose ends and give some closure. If ppl want I can just. say what I think would happen but I understand that ppl aren’t that interested in the series anymore/the queen fandom kinda dead from what I know

I completely forgot abt this blog 💀 uni got me busy like a bitch and even tho I am literally doing a degree in creative writing I have done an astounding amount of it (astounding in the fact that I’ve barely done any)

Ik I promised y’all the final chapter of modern times, but at this point I’m not entirely sure it’ll get finished.

So, an ultimatum. I either TELL you what was gonna be the ending (kinda crappy) , post what I have written so far (also shit), or try and finish it over Xmas break (I probably won’t, I have a lot of gifts to make) OR ✨ something of your choosing ✨
