‘Every time you go out of the house you take the bloody thing off. Why?’ I said. Freddie said nothing and slipped the ring on. Then he kissed me and we got into bed. After that night Freddie always wore his wedding ring and it never came off his finger again, even when he washed.

- Jim Hutton, Mercury and Me

i’ve just finished mercury & me and the last chapters are really sad so here’s a collection of my favorite moments to cheer myself up:

“freddie delighted in running around as a tourist, snapping photographs of everything in sight. but he wasn’t very practical with a camera. in fact he had no idea what he was doing and was hilarious to watch.”

for his 39th birthday freddie threw a black & white dress-up party and brian may came as a witch

once david bowie was drying his hair in front of an electric fan and freddie told him it was about the only fan he had

freddie & jim would give each other roses almost every year for valentines day

the very first time freddie came over to hit on jim jim told him to fuck off. freddie did.

whenever jim was sick freddie would fuss around him like a “jewish mother” and run around like a “mother hen” trying to make him feel better

jim started working as the gardner at garden lodge at some point and the first thing freddie did when he got up in the mornings would be to go over to the window to watch him and call out ‘cooee!’

freddie always needed jim to reassure him that he loved him

one they had a row that put freddie in enough of a mood to call jim a bloody irish witch

freddie loved baths and always overdid it on the bubbles

once they couldn’t find goliath and freddie became so upset that the cat was missing that he hurled a beautiful japanese hibachi through the window of the guest bedroom

they previously spent days in japan searching for that specific hibachi

when goliath was finally found freddie cuddled him for five minutes “then, like a mother, freddie scolded the cat, shouting and screaming at tiny goliath for leaving garden lodge. the dark ball of fur just sat there, listening calmly to freddie’s outburst and purring loudly.”

freddie had one (1) driving lesson in his life. he got into the car, stalled the engine, got out and declared “i can’t be bothered with this”

once freddie gave jim a fancy silver magnifying glass because he wanted him “to be able to see the bugs” that were infesting the plants at garden lodge

jim thought freddie & roger were clearly soulmates

there was another time that goliath disappeared but they eventually found him asleep in a sink and freddie thought it was so cute that he screamed

freddie would visit his parents every thursday and his mum would often pack him a lunch box with biscuits

once, before they had guests over for lunch, jim was weeding the garden and freddie thought it looked fun so he wanted to help. when the guests started arriving freddie would commandeer them, one by one, to join them and by the time lunch was ready everyone was on all fours weeding the garden

freddie & michael jackson had worked on a rap number that was never finished

freddie had a rolls royce that was barely used, jim would only drive it out of the garage to play with his model trains (jim beach loved his model trains)

jim made furniture for freddie and freddie would always proudly show it off to visitors telling them “my husband made this for me”

whenever they got fish & chips freddie would insists they get an extra six fish (one for each of the cats) and it was jim’s job to take off all the batter and check for bones so none of them would choke

freddie would joke about wanting to form a band with rod stewart and elton john called Teeth, Nose and Hair.

freddie was quite dramatic and sometimes would tell jim to move out when they were arguing. once it got so far that jim even got an apartment but right before he moved freddie told him he didn’t want him to move and it turned out he didn’t even remember how the argument had started

when jim asked freddie why, out of all people, he was with him, freddie told him “you fought me. you won me.”

tag yourself: things freddie mercury actually did

never learned how to drive or use a microwave because he figured that someone else would do it

his husband jim hutton asked him to to leave “fried chicken” as the last line of one vision, a serious song about global unity. he did it.

got into an argument with sid vicious from the sex pistols. called him “simon ferocious” and (depending on the story) threw him out of the room

performed with the royal ballet despite Not Knowing how to do ballet and said that the stretching hurt him in places he didn’t even know that he had

mistook weed for tea, made himself a cup of tea with it, drank it, and thought he was dying

owned ten cats like the gay icon he is, wrote a song about his favorite cat delilah that involves meowing sounds produced by a guitar. (as you do.)

So Damon Thomas, the director of the finale said that “Eve just asks Villanelle to help her to make it stop because she can’t stop herself from wanting to be with Villanelle.” The whole time I thought that she was talking about Villanelle helping her to stop the darkness inside her that was being encouraged by Villanelle’s. But it was actually about Villanelle helping Eve to stop wanting her. So Eve wants Villanelle so much that she can’t stop herself, she can’t avoid how she feels about her. And in the end they can’t walk away from each other or from their feelings. This is a love story.

“At the end, that turning back moment, they know that no matter what they do there is no parting ways. They are in each other’s lives going forward now, regardless.” - Suzanne Heathcote, Killing Eve s3 showrunner

“There’s a completeness when they’re with the other. They know that they recognize each other in a way that no one else ever has before.”

The way Jodie shifts from vulnerable Oksana (with Eve) to confident Villanelle (with Rhian)

Go girl give us everything!

It is said that when one half finds its other, there’s an unspoken understanding. A unity. And each would know no greater joy than this. - The Half Of It (2020) / Killing Eve 3x08

Easily my favorite Eren moment in the entirety of the manga.

The freedom to choose one’s fate and destiny has always been the foundation of Eren’s character. No matter who you are or where you came from, you deserve the right to choose your own future, and that no force of oppression or power can take that away from you. Here we have a little girl, who all her life has been used like cattle for a powerful mans own personal gain, and has experienced cruelty and unfairness since the day she was born, being told that she does have a right to decide. The right to choose, and the right to be free.

Not as a god.

Not as a slave.

But as a human being

Waiting for what must have felt like eternity for someone to tell her that she is free. For someone to save her.

For someone to tell her, “You don’t have to exist like this. You don’t have to suffer, or be a slave. I’m going to help you, and going to make sure you are free” Contrast to Zeke demanding Ymir to obey him, Eren simply lets her decide for herself what she wants to do. And in that moment, there was no god, devil, or savior.

Just a small, scared little girl who, after so long, was finally free from her shackles, and chose her own destiny.

I absolutely LOVE how Ymir's Titan is being depicted in history as beautiful and divine when in reality it just looks terrible, it doesn't have a proper face and it can't even hold its ribs together. Like, glorifying historical figures to an exaggerated degree is actually how history works in real life, damn
