Random person: Hi— Me: Freddie Mercury and Brian May grew up 300 yards apart and didn't meet each other until they were in college where they formed a band and believed in one another more than they believed in themselves they would take the bus together to defend the band to their rotten management and had matching stage costumes made out of an old wedding dress which all then later added up to their motif of black and white they also shared rooms on tour!!! and then many years later Freddie came out as gay and Brian changed his songwriting to be much more ambiguous and inclusive for his sake!!!! Brian always hated Don't Stop Me Now btw because he was worried about people taking advantage of Freddie's loyal nature and pushing him to extremes he also wrote a hit song (!!!) about Freddie's unsatisfying love and sex life which Freddie knew about and sang on stage for years while Brian played the piano for him and this isn't even touching on the fact that Freddie used his interactions with Brian on stage to express his gayness when that was still beyond dangerous and not only did Brian not bat an eyelash he continuously engaged in it for years because fuck homophobes !!! and Freddie always felt so comfortable around him inviting him to hang out with his friends his home and writing a 4-minute song calling him his soullllllll and then there's Brian turning around and writing a metaphor about Freddie's soul being beautiful and transformative like the wings of butterflies while he was dying and barely able to sing anymore but this isn't even touching on the years after Freddie's passing when Brian took Love of My Life and single-handedly made it into a tribute while he was depressed and struggling with suicidal thoughts because he couldn't play music without honoring Freddie in some—

Scalding hot take of the day: Freddie and Brian's writing partnership is unrecognized primarily because they wrote for each other more than they wrote with each other.

“You could throw me in the audience,” will never not get me, seriously wtf was that??? I’m—🤭
