every person can feel freddie’s presence in their souls when they sing MAMAAAAAA UUHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIE, I SOMETIMES I WISH I’VE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL with all the air in their lungs i’m not joking
it’s fucking crazy to think about the amount of people who have sung bohemian rhapsody? like it’s such a unifying song, by nature of the fact that so many people know it. it holds so many good memories for me and other people. it’s a song you scream in the car with your friends while you drive around your boring hometown, it’s a song you drunkenly sing with your arm around your best friend, or a song you sing along to with strangers when it’s on in public. it’s bittersweet to think about freddie’s legacy carrying on like that through his masterpiece. freddie carries on because he’s a part of so many people’s good memories and bohemian rhapsody is a huge part of that.
Reblog if you have sung bohemian rhapsody with your friends
every time i see this post i’m reminded of the video of 65,000 people singing bohemian rhapsody in near-perfect harmony
like, what other song can make that claim?
Some of the highlights of that video include:
The crowd cheering after the first stanza when they realize what they’re all doing
So many people audibly ‘doing the guitar parts’… like ya do
The sheer number of voices joining the rediculous falsetto (thanks, Roger)
How they all start jumping at the ramp-up “so you think you can stomp me”
Hands up, hundreds, thousands deep for the final “ooooo”s and the last line to close the song
Only days before my state went into lockdown, “Bohemian Rhapsody” came on in the restaurant kitchen I’d just been hired at and, no shit, every single worker in that little diner started singing along. Me (the only queer afaik), the manager, all the other kitchen workers, the dishwasher up front, the two people on the counter, all but two of the men over 30. Just belting out Freddie Mercury at the top of their lungs. And you can bet when “sometimes I wish I’d never been born at all” came around, we every single one of us ramped up the intensity and basically made sure Freddie could hear us in the afterlife.
One of the things that struck me, listening to the video, is that you cannot distinguish the original vocals from the crowd, and sometimes you can barely hear the music. And the POV is on the stage the speakers are playing the song from!
There’s good reason why, nearly fifty years after the height of their career, Queen is still considered one of the best bands of all time ever.
(And how albums left lying about in cars will eventually metamorphose into Best of Queen albums.)
Something else that’s rather incredible about this is, Bohemian Rhapsody is a very difficult song from a technical standpoint. Like–humor me, okay, go flip it on and try to sing the whole thing at the top of your voice without falling off-key, out of breath, or cracking at least once. Then come back.
Okay. You’re back? Welcome back. Unless you’re a trained singer, you probably can’t do it. There are too many long notes, too many key changes, and too many places where–if you’re singing all the parts–you’re just up and down the scale too damned fast. I’m saying this as a trained singer and I can’t do it. I always crack on “magnifico” and “leave me to die,” and I have a pretty decent range, but I know I sound ugly as hell on that final coda.
Okay. Now that we’ve established that, I want to talk a little about singing as a chorus. One of the things a lot of people learned during the pandemic is how hard it is to take twenty people, all in different places, and stitch them together to make a single coherent song with perfect pitch and timing. You’re all practicing on slightly your own tempo, slightly your own key, even if you’re all working from the same base track. (You can see this in a lot of the Wellerman compilations from Tiktok, where someone always says “Soon” a moment before everyone else on “soon may the Wellerman come.”) When you have a chorus comprised of many smaller choruses that are all traveling to be together, this is what dress rehearsal is for–to get all of you onto the same tempo so you’re starting and finishing at exactly the same time. This is a thing that normally only happens after at least several days of practice, and it is an important skill that must be taught. You’re not just born knowing how to do this.
I do not know how many people at that Green Day concert were trained singers. But I do know there is no way in hell all few thousand of them were a single group–they showed up a few at a time, maybe even flying solo for the night. Now go and listen to the video again. Listen to the ends of verses and the pickups. They’re fucking crisp as hell. Everyone is starting and ending at the same place. Not even a single note off. (And yes, you can hear when it’s a single note off, even in a crowd that big. A handful of people would be enough to throw it off.) And while a few in the crowd may be off-key, so many more are on-key that the cumulative effect is of the song being on-key. This isn’t even the band they’re there to see.
They don’t just know this song, this technically-difficult song, this long and complex song by a completely different band. They know it perfectly. They know it down to the fucking note. They know it so well that they did it in perfect synchrony, without a single chance to practice.
Do you know how insane that is?
Caves are weirder and more varied than you think
Pekka Rollins: I will put so many bullets in your head, Saints won't even recognize you.
Kaz: I'm an atheist. Fire at will.

The freedom of being an adult away from your family and the freedom of running away from your adult life to your family, your childhood.
It sits exactly on the line of bittersweet.
Make you realise the difference in forms of freedom, love and comfort.
The idea of running away to a different life is something that is so personal. It consoles your soul from the scars you take on all your life.
The idea of running away to a different life is like breathing new air. Unfamiliar air of a new city, new country. New perceptions, new ideas cultivate.
The idea of running away to a different city makes you a new person. No judgement, no old stories. Not knowing anything about you and getting to know you.
It makes me excited and giddy and I feel it in my stomach.
But…
The idea of running home makes me bring back my old self. The broken door handle of my room. The smell of the mother’s and father’s pillows.
The idea of running home makes me think of school, the hot and cold breeze I breathed. All the things that evoked emotions, real first emotions.
The idea of running home reminds me of my first love. The teasing, the games. The eyes I used to look forward to seeing everyday.
It’s the ideas that moves me, helps me live and smile and breathe easy. The past. The future.
jesper fahey and his adhd have my heart. there's nothing technically "wrong" with his life but he can't get it together anyway because his brain works differently and he hates himself for it. he needs to be liked by everyone because he's sensitive to rejection. he dropped out of university. he got himself a gambling addiction because of the dopamine rush that he can't find anywhere else. he loves being in the middle of a fight because it's the only thing that shuts his brain up. he forgot that he had a one night stand with wylan until he was on top of him and being shot at. when kaz was mad at him he offered himself up to take a highly addictive, highly deadly grisha drug. he spends every waking moment of his life trying to shut off the part of his brain that unrelentingly reminds him of how badly he's messed everything up. things would be so much easier if he had someone to blame for it all but it's just the way he's wired
Wylan: Are you trying to seduce me?
Jesper: Why, are you seducible?
Jesper: Life keeps fucking me and I can't remember the safeword.
just sitting here thinking about the underrated kanej scene of kaz sweeping a cloak around inej’s shoulders as wild geraniums flutter all around them right after he gets her back in crooked kingdom
and how geraniums are her mother’s favorite flower
and how her father told her the “many boys will bring you flowers” line and kaz *has* taken the time to know her as no one else does which is why his gift to her was a knife (and eventually her ship)
and now in that moment kaz is the one responsible for her mother’s favorite flowers whirling around her
and how inej has just literally been tortured and traumatized by van eck and had to confront the real possibility of her legs being broken and thinking she would be useless to kaz and now she has this beautiful, soft moment with him amidst all of the chaos of them escaping

FREDDY CARTER | SAB S2 BLOOPERS
Your heart starts racing uncontrollably.
Your body starts to heat up from the inside out.
It's consuming like a black hole. And when sucked in, it feels like there is no way of ever escaping this infinite darkness.
It just drains you out until there is no more.
Anxiety is inevitable.
It's with you when you wake up.
It's with you when your surrounded by people.
It's with you when your alone.
It's with you when your just you.
seeing kaz brekker x reader fic is a whole new level of “he would not fucking do that”
Me: I have no fears.
*Kaz X Reader fanfics*

I’m re-reading Six of Crows and honestly I completely forgot about this line. It is very intriguing and shows a much more manipulative side of Kaz. He’s not constantly ruthless and rude to people around him. He knows which gods to worship to make a fortune and even Haskell is experienced enough to see this in him.
It’s such a cool part that I feel like writing a fic on it. Let me know guys if it’s a good idea to go with….
