a cinema here closed yesterday, not my favourite or the best but when I first moved here it was my local cinema and I have so many memories that keep popping back up as I think about it. I hate when movie theatres close, it breaks my heart every time.

(and yes I saw Bohemian Rhapsody there four times, one of which was the day I lost my job in 2018 when all I wanted to do was cry and watch the Live Aid scene)

[deakys-chesthair]

How I miss early 2019 BoRhap era Tumblr 😩 the Floods of fanfics, both slash and reader inserts... The metas... The Oscars Madness... The Queen stories and vines... Todd™... The Sin Sundays... The heated arguments about the problematic™ things the boys did... The BoRhap Boys' blooming friendship 😩🥺🥺 take me baaack

in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.

[laminy]

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year 💛

if you had a good 2025, I hope it continues. if you didn’t, I hope 2026 is a wonderful brand new start.

my year did end better than it began, I never would have believed at the start of 2025 that I’d be living in my own apartment. I’ve only been there three months, and yes, it’s a big difference financially (not in a good way) but it has been such a relief to have my own space and know I can come home and have peace.

I also changed jobs at my office in 2025 and it was one hundred percent a change for the better.

other things still aren’t great. I won’t list out my grievances, but finding joy in the day-to-day is still hard for me.

I don’t even want to say it, because it seems unlikely to happen, but I did try to write another short part to ITBASM in 2025. obviously I didn’t finish it otherwise you all would have heard about it, but I haven’t deleted it or anything. maybe someday I’ll just post a summary of what it was supposed to be, or share the unfinished bits and scraps.

I’m still working on the original story I started in 2023, one of my resolutions is to finish it this year, but writing is such a struggle for me now, which is really disappointing. but I’m not giving up, I want to see it completed.

as always, I’m always around if you want to talk (my screen time is way too high lol), I hope you’re all well.

[laminy]

okay I’m not saying I went to see The Woman in Black on stage tonight just because I wrote Ben and Joe going to see it in ITBASM ages ago.

I saw it because I wanted to see it (but I did think about ITBASM while I was there).

REGAN'S COUNTDOWN TO QUEEN | week twelve | favorite lyric

'39, lyrics by brian may

[ravencharm]

75% of writing is convincing yourself that your story is worth it

[windwardstar]

It is. In case you were wondering. Your story is worth the effort you are putting into it. It’s an amazing thing because you are writing it.

[laminy]

today was my annual BoRhap rewatch! things that stuck out to me this time:

how well Gwil captured Brian May

Radio Ga Ga, as always

[laminy]

I’ve finally unpacked at my new apartment (how have I been here over a month already) and I found so much Queen stuff that I completely forgot I had. and that’s not even all of it, there’s more stuck in a couple other places.

I don’t want to add it all up lol but if you included the money I spent on seeing Queen (and the trip I took to another country just to see Gwil in a film) I think I spent a pretty penny on this collection.

at least I’m surrounded by things I love! and now I never need to buy anything ever again lol.

[laminy]

today is News of the World Day, which is a very good day.

[laminy]

whoops just remembered that I wrote a Blue Jays-Dodgers World Series fanfic in 2020 (except this time I need the Jays to win).

[em-dashes]

when u come up with a tiny change for your story that not only makes the writing flow better but also hammers in the character motivations and story theme

[laminy]

I should’ve posted yesterday when it was Thanksgiving here and said how thankful I am for everyone! a day late but it’s still true, I am 🩵 I hope people are doing well (even though I know how hard that can be sometimes).

[laminy]

I am all moved in, I cleaned my old room, I gave back my old key, I will try to move on and forget them because they’re not my roommates anymore and are therefore irrelevant but I am the one who always bought garbage bags, paper towel, dish soap, all those sorts of things so it actually feels quite good that they were out of all those things today and now they can do it themselves.

[laminy]

I dreamt that they released a new “undiscovered” Queen song that started with Freddie singing “I’m the flavour in all your favourite dishes” and I swear it’s going to be stuck in my head all day.
